DUNKARD COLLEGE.
Will be Located at Surrey, six miles
east of MinOt.

At a meeting of the commit
tee held at Minot on Monday of
last week it was decided to To-
cate the new Dunkard college
at Surrey, a town 6 miles east
of Minot. The Dunseith peo-
pie tried hard to locate the COL
lege at that place and put up a
$40, 600 bonus, but the Minot
people raised the amount to
$25, 600 to get it located nearer
home

ORDER
Bottineau Commandery Organ
lied Tuesday Evening.
II APPLICA TIONS'
Received on the Opening Evening.
Nine Members from the MinOt
Lodge Present to Assist
in Organization.

There being a sufficient num-
Der of knights Tenplar in this
city for the organization of the
higher lodge in NJ asonry, the
grand commandery of North
Dakota was petitioned for the
establishment of a commandery
at Bottineau, to be known
temporarily as the Bottineau
Commandery No. IL.
It is a practice adopted by
the grand lodge of the state not
to name the comfnanderies
after a town but from some
historical Templar whose name
had been made famous. Until
such a time as a suitable name
can be selected the lodge will
have the name of the home
town.
The request for the organiza-
ton of this lodge at Bottineau
was granted some time ago,
but the locals have been wait.
ing until they could get the
grand commandery officials to
assist in it's organization and
initiatory services, but it was
not until Tuesday evening of
this week that the assistance
could be had and at that time
the following members were
present:
L. w. Gammons, Past Emin-
ent Commander; David r.
Pierce, Eminent Sir knights
James Johnson, III. D. Haley,
A. NJ. Christensen, A. ]. Brun-
er, G.. F.. Truax, D. H. Kim
ball, all. of Minot, and p. NJ.
Cole of Kenmare.
The order of the Red Cross
and the order, of the Temple
was worked out in full and the
degree of Malta was communi-
Gated.
The degrees were given un-
der the dispensation granted
by the grand commandery to the
officers of the local lodge, who
are as follows: H. A. Bate,
Eminent Commander; V. B.
Noble, General Isamo; [. r.
parkway, Captain General.
At the next meeting of the
commandery, if the work un-
der the dispensation has been
done satisfactorily, a charter
will be issued.
Under the rules of the grand
lodge, a Commandery cannot
be established within 100 miles
of each other without the con-
sent of a neighboring lodge,
and as the Bottineau Com
mandery would be within 100
miles of Minot it was necessary
to get their consent. This gives
Bottineau jurisdic ton over all
Masons contemplating the de-
grees from 80 miles west of
Devils Lake and half way to
Minot and north to the Cana
dian line. 49,.
Seventeen applications we're
received the first evening and
all were elected to receive the
degrees, six of whom received
the degrees the same evening
and the names are as follows:
A. G. Burr
A. r. MacKay
Thos. Sims
J. H. G. Turner
]. A. Johnson ...-
F. c.. Falkenstei1l
A banquet was prepared at
midnight under the supervis-
ion of w. P. Mcmillan which
was one of the most elaborate
affairs ever known here.
These Communicates are u.s.
ually established in much larger
towns than Bottineau, but the
size of the lodge and ability of
the Masons at this place, to-
gether with the elegant rooms
and arrangement of the Masonic
Temple, was such as to recon
mend commandery.
The commandery starts out
with twenty-five members and
when the charter is granted the
formal institution of the new
lodge will take place.

New Wood Preservative,

In France a method Of seasoning
wood by electricity is credited with
much success 1t is called the Nodon-
B%retonneau process. The timber is
nearly immersed in a tank Of water
containing 10 per cent Of borax, 5 Of
rosin and a little carbonate of soda
and rests on a lead plate connected
with the positive pole Of a dynamo.
Another similar plate, lying on the ex
posed surface Of the timber, is connect
ed with the negative pole. Thus a cur
rent Of electricity a be passed
through the wood, from which all the
sap appears to be removed, while the
borax and rosin take its place in the
pores. In a few hours the timber is
taken out and dried, and the seasoning
IL said to be complete.

FENCE POST ANCHOR.
Arrangement Of Prongs For Holding

Arrangement Of Prones For Holding
Post In Upright Position.
The anchoring device which is here
with illustrated is particularly adapted
for use on metal fence posts. Briefly
stated. it comprises a series Of prongs
SO mounted that when they are driven
down they curve outward and are i'm
bedded into the ground on all sides Of
the post, thus holding the post firmly in
N upright position, even when sub
jected to severe lateral strain.
Each post is supplied with an upper
and lower set of anchoring prongs, the
two sets being at right angles to each
other. The fence post is T shaped in
cross section, consisting Of a head with
a central web or f1ange. A plate is Sc
cured to the lower end Of the post
against the outer edge of the flange by
means Of two upper and two lower
bolts, which pass through the head of
the post. Resting against opposite
faces of the fange, between the head
and this plate, are two anchoring
prongs, which consist of narrow plates
Of metal pointed at the lower ends.
The prongs pass under the upper bolts
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1907-05-29

but their points curve out over the
lower bolts, SO that when they are driv-
en- downward they will spread out
ward, as shown in the engraving. At
a convenient point above the lower
prongs a pair Of straps are bolted to
the post. These are bent to form sock
cts, in which the upper pair of prongs
are seated, as best shown In the section
view. The straps are framed with off
sets, which the points Of the
prongs to curve outward. As stated
above. these prongs r set to spread
at right angles to the lower prongs.
In practice the post is driven or sunk
into the ground, and then with a suita-
BILE instrument the prongs are driven
down, when they will assume the posi-
lions shown In the engraving. The in
ventor Of this improved anchoring de-
vice is Percy T. Bailey, Melville Sta
