mines would be dynamited, but Col.
Reynolds took the position that there
had been done nothing to justify the
belief that violence will be done, and
that it would be impossible for him
to send troops unless actual violence
was done. Private guards around the
mines will be used. but unless the
strike-breakers are brought in it does
not appear there will lie enough men
to open the mines.

TRACKAGE
Fine Offers For Sites on Great
Northern Railroad By Kent
Realty Company.

Within the last few weeks it has
been reported on. authority that a
number OF large manufacturing and
commercial institutions lookin
for locations in North Dakota, have
been investigating conditions in Grand
Forks, with view to the establishing
of warehouses and manufacturing
plants at this point.
One of the first and most important
matters to be determined upon by such
concerns, is the opportunity offered for
securing suitable sites for buildings
where ample trackage facilities can
be secured at not too great an expense.
Upon examination it has been found
that there is available at reasonable
prices a large amount of trackage
property in Grand Forks, lying i'm
mediately adjoining the main line Of
the Great Northern right-of-'way on
the north, and extending from the site
of the old base ball park westwards to
the city limits. There is available at
this time the length of five city blocks
or over $500 feet, including streets.
This property is controlled by the
Kent Realty & Investment Corpora
ton, and is held at an extremely low
figure to such concerns as contemplate
immediate occupancy and improve
ment The Kent Realty & Investment
Corporation have also reserved of their
large holdings, two solid city blocks
of "a lots each, immeditely adjoining
the trackage property above referred
to. to be used in connection with and
for such interests as demand large
ground space. One OF these blocks to-
gether with the trackage property ad-
joining, would make a total ground
area of over 1880 square feet, and
as stated above, can be secured at a
very reasonable figure.
Parties interested in securing con-
venient trackage property, will do
we'll to correspond with the Kent
Realty & Investment Corporation at
Grand Forks.

SLOGAN Of THE
PEOPLE
The Population Of City Would
Shoot skyward if There
Were More Houses.

"If Grand Forks has a plentiful
supply of houses the population would
be augmented by at least 500 per-
sons" was the startling statement
made last evening by w. H. Kelsey
to an Evening Times representative,
and his remark strikes a note very
near to the hearts of the several other
real estate dealers of the city. That
a house famine exists in Grand Forks
Is now an assured fact as all who
have had occasion to inquire at the
various rental agencies will vouch for.
In their efforts to provide for the
housing Of the residents several of the
realty dealers have initiated a new
plan. They are furnishing the appli-
cant with lot free of charge upon
which to erect a house. the money for
the lot to be Forthcoming as soon as
the structure Is sold. 1t is stated
conservatively by the several dealers
In the city that fully 300 houses could
be utilized today and to bear out these
surmises the dealers will cite case
after case of three and four families
In one boarding house all desirous
of getting home. The family hotels
of the city also contain their share
of the overflow and houses in the en-
bryo stage are applied for even be-
fore actual building operations have
been started.

CNUNIFORM MEDICINES.
Wide Geographical Distribution and
Age Make Drugs Unreliable.

SO, because any man, however ig-
norant, with any motive, however ig
noble, may manufacture and sell any
of the $4,000 compounds known to
organic chemistry and may allege for
them what curative powers he will;
and because, too, of this unlimited
opportunity for fraud among the old
er drugs, IL becomes a matter of no
surprise TO learn that at the present
time among the great number Of
firms manufacturing remedial agen-
cies there is the greatest conceivable
diversity of science, sincerity and
wisdom.
These drugs cotfe from the utter
most parts of the earth-from the
dank forests of Brazil, from the fro
zen Siberian steppes, from the banks
of the gray green, greasy Limpopo
River, all set about with fever trees"
or from ''silken Samarkand, but al
most everywhere they are gathered
by barbarous peoples, the lowest of
earth's denizens. 1t is small wonder,
then, that with any enc plant there
should be a variation among its indi
vidual specimens in the proportion
of the active medicinal agent it con-
tains.
But when we add to this the fact
that, in general terms, the per cent.
of the active ingredient depends on
xhe amount of sunshine it enjoys, on
the time of the year il is gathered,
g hn
amount of moisture, the elevation,
the character of the soil and a dozen
other factors, il becomes almost
necessity of thought that the amount
of medicine" in that plant must
vary from a maximum to nothing at
all.
A mans wife goes bravely down
to the gates of death to pass through,
or, If il may hap, to come slowly
back, bearing radiantly with her the
flaming torch of another life. Ergot
is required. Now, ergot is a fungus
growing upon rye, where it destroys
and displaces the ovary of the plant.
1t comes from Russia, Austria, Spain,
Sweden, and where not; its chemical
analysis does not seem to yield reli-
able information, for its active con-
stituents are not definitely under
stood. Finally, the physiological ac-
tivity of the drug may be good, or
little, or zero, just as it may chance,
while after the lapse of a year it be-
comes unfit for use. Yet 1t is to this
substance, so utterly variable, that
the physician must trust the life Of
! the woman and the child d-Harper' 5.
