Fifteenth National rriqa.
ton Conuress.

OF much importance to the state of
North Dakota is the fifteenth National
Irrigation Congress, which meets in Sac
ramento, CAL, Sept. II, 1907. All Sec
tons of the country will be represented.
Among the most prominent men in the
country who have signi6ed their inten-
ton to be present are Vice-President
Fairbanks, at least three members of the
presidents cabinet, a number of govern
ors OF states, many senators and repre-
sentatives and some of the most impor.
tant department officials IF the Wash
ington government. Nearly every great
university in the United States will be
officially represented by one or more
members of its faculty. Every big com.
mercial and industrial activity in the
nation will have its Spokesman in the
delegate body. Bankers, merchants,
manufacturers, farmers, in fact, men in
every department of professional and
business life will be found in attendance.
Nearly every organization in the United
States of national character and standing
is sending representatives, and the out.
look indicates the presence of at least
three thousand accredited delegates to
the coming session of this important
congress.
North Dakota should be as much in
terested in this congress as any other
state, for the reason that of the S~4o,ooo,ooo
that has been brought into the reclama-
ton fund through the sale of public lands,
approximately one-eighth has come from
the sale of public lands in this state.
The transcontinental lines have named
a rate of $3.50 from St. Paul to Sacra-
mento and return, final return limit Octo-
Der 81, 1907: This rate allows liberal
stop:over privileges, both going and re.
turning within limits. Also the return
trip can be made by same route or any
other route.
The state engineer would like to be
advised by those contemplating attend
ance and would be pleased to give any
desired information concerning the con.
gress.
Frank Lish has been named by Gov.
Burke to represent the country west OF
the Missouri river. Senator e. B. Little
and Surveyor General E. A. Williams
have been named at Bismarck.

RANCH AND FARM.

One Jersey bull calf for sale by The
Brown Dairy. 7-13-tf
The Hunt 4 Anderson clip of wool al
Wibaux is reported as sold at 24c.
1t is reported that Banker F. E. Near
sold 296 acres of land at Beach at $40
per acre.
w. B. Howe has made arrangements
with r. M. Blackburn for taking 100 to
$50 head of calves, yearlings and two
year-old cattle.
George W. Lee has 900 acres of fine
oats that he thinks will give a yield Of
10000 bushels. Last year Mr.. Lee raised
1900 bushels and did not market until he
was able to realize SOC. per bushel.
Will Clark is one of the satisfied men
who %patronized the Dickinson Horse
Sales Co. last month. He sold one bunch
at an average price Of S12o, one at $40,
another at 81 and yearlings at sac. The
pair of fine ~four-year-old driving mares,
standard bred, bought of William Hol-
land, MI. Clark sold to William Kennedy
Of South Heart for $3.50.
This week the Dickinson Horse Sales
Co. kept a force of five and six clerks
mailing out 5000 posters and circular
AcltelS dlIu answering nuIuTeuS O1 let-
tiers regarding the sales to be held on the
10th and 21st. Manager J. M. Watson
says that everything points to a splendid
sale. He returned from the Omaha sales
last week more than satisfied with the
prices which had been paid at the Dick
inson horse sales ring. 1t really looks as
though horses were bringing about the
best prices here Of any place in the
United States, and the question which
many are asking now is, Will they bring
as much another year?
D. T. Phillips, a rancher in the vicinity
OF Yule, was renewing old acquaintances
in Dickinson the past week. In early
days the Phillips family resided here,
later moving to Minnesota, but about
four years ago Mr.. Phillips returned and
engaged in the sheep business in the
southwestern part of the state. He has
been very successful and this year mar
keted $1,000 pounds of wool at Wibaux
at 23c. His wool averaged E IL pounds
to the fleece. He has 1900 lambs, which
are already contracted to Frank Cannon
at 50 per head Tor October delivery.
Late in the fall MI. Phillips will take his
family to Minneapolis, where the children
will attend school during the winter.

HORSE RUBBED BRIDLE
AND CAUSED TROUBLE
Animal Belonging to Frank

ROBERT CHESTNUT HURT.

Richard Laekey, son of Frank Lack
ey, had rather unpleasant experience
Tuesday evening. The boy had taken
out a horse owned by his father and
drove to Easthaven. While hitched
there the horse rubbed off the bride
and started TO run. The animal ran
TO Richmond avenue and then east.
The buggy was sadly di,apidated
While on Richmond avenue the runa-
way crashed into q rig IN which Rob-
ert Chestnut. a we'll known contractor,
was driving and the latter WAS thrown
to the ground. He received d kick on
the knee and a nail was run through
his hand besides being otherwise
bruised The runaway created some
excitement on the avenue where
number of men were working in gas
ditch. They We're appraised of the run
away and the mad scramble to get out
of the ditch without eaving in the
banks, was worse than Kelley's slide
for life. Notwithstanding the serious
ness of the affair, the gas men s antics
created some merriment Both the
Chestnut and Lackey rigs were dam
aged.

Strange ways or l MS Dreaded and

OF some of the strange ways of the
gila monster, that little known crsa-
ture of the southwestern deserts. a cor
respondent writes Il have had some
experiences with ella monsters and
can state that. no matter what scien-
fists may claim, the ella monster is a
good thing TO shun. Indians and Mexi-
cans have Il horror of il and fear
it more than a rattleSnake. / be
lieve that the bite of the ella monster
is dangerous because of the creatures
habit of eating lizards. bugs and ro-
dents and then lying on sand so hot
that it blisters the hands and feet of
men. The heat causes the food TO pu-
trefy in the stomach. evidenced by the
fact that the teeth are often covered
with a fermented putrefied froth from
the food A bite has the same effect as
the cut of dissecting knife used on
cadaver-in other words, the iuocula-
ton of a deadly poison.

a kangaroo uses his tail The ella mon

tenacity of q swapping turtle. | once
saw some men teasing a ella monster
brought to Tucson. A string was tied
around his neck The ella monster was
crawling around on the ground, trying
TO get away. but was pulled back by
the string. This was carried on till the
creature became furious. The crowd
around the ella monster knew nothing
of his power 10 spring. Suddenly he
sprung up and bit a man among the
crowd on the hand. leaping fully two
feet from the ground.
Another instance. this of q man
