Every one knows that in using II
field glass it is necessary to adjust it
to a proper fgNls. Suppose that You
put one of theGtbes at your focus aud
the other tube at focus that suited
some one else and then you looked
through both tubes. You would have
a more or less blurred vision. and if
you kept on looking the chances are
that You would feel giddy and get Il

Rev. g, N. Hunt, formerly a Bis.
Harck attorney and of late years an
evangelist of general northwestern
reputation, is holding a series Of re,
v1yals in the eastern and northern
part OF the state and is just at present
the center OF rather interesting and
exciting controversy as to whether
or not an attempt was made to
poison him at Grafton. Rev. Hunt
paid his respects to the under world
at Grafton In rather severe terms
charging the existence Of saloons
gambling hells and brothels, and on
his return to Grand Forks claimed an
attempt had been made to poison
MIN The result Of this is an EN-
phafic disclaimer from citizens 81

ministers. It is rather surprising to
learn, even from source that is
s0ught to be discredited, that such
conditions exist in the Red river val
ley as Rev. Hunt pictures.

THE GREAT GORGE
THE ICE GORGE FIFTEEN MILES:
{ LONG AT vERMiLLloN HAS
FINALLY BROKEN.

A Vermillion dispatch OF the 18th
says: Fears are entertained that Dam
4iel Doan, an old soldier who lives
near the Missouri river in Norway
township, has been drowned as a re-
suit of the floods caused by the big
ice gorge in the river. Gus Cayse, a
wood chopper of Norway township, is
also missing.
No report has reached Vermillion
from Engineer De White and crew,
who with explosives started for the
gorge yesterday in boats.
The Missouri river gorge broke late
this afternoon and for three hours has
been carrying off ice at tremendous
rate. Reports all along the line for
eleven miles indicate that the channel
is opening the old bed Of the river
fast and that by morning every part
of the gorge for fifteen miles west
will be moving down stream. There
is little danger of another gorge form
ing, as the force Of the water behind
the ice will keep it moving.
The services Of Engineer Little will
not be required any longer. In two
days he has failed to reach the gorge
and probably would not have got to
his destination tomorrow.
BY tomorrow night the bottom lands
will be draining off rapidly and no
further trouble is anticipated from the
mammoth blockade which formed
Feb. u and broke today. Refugees
will be able to go back to their homes
by Friday.

BULK THE WHEAT CROP

WHO RESIDE WEST OF MIS-
1 SOURI, RIVER,

Fargo Forum: Farmers west of the
Missouri river have scarcely begun
to haul their last years crop of wheat
to market, according to r. 3. Peterson
of Mole. who is spending few days
in Fargo. The vast bulk of the grain
is yet in the farmers hands, and this
is not so much due to shortage of
cars as it is to the bad weather of the
past winter.
Con account of the cold weather and
storms it has been impossible to haul
much grain to market" said Mr.. Peter
son in discussing the situation in the
vicinity of his home. Many of the
farmers, like myself, have been >devot-
ing their attention to getting rid of
their flax and have left their wheat in
their granaries. still have about 200
bushels of flax to haul before will
begin hauling wheat" ssss
Mr.. Peterson states that while there
has been a shortage of cars, this has
not occasioned any inconvenience for
the farmers, as they were able to sell
all the wheat they could haul to mar
ket. The nearest railroad town to Mr..
Peterson's farm is Almont. Although
this town was started only last June,
it already has a 1o0.o0o-bushel eleva-
tor, a lumber yard and three stores,
and it is prospecting. When the ele-
'Vator at Almont was full the farmers
in the vicinity began hauling their
wheat to Sims, six miles distant,
where there was still plenty OF room in
the elevators for all the grain they
had to sell. ii !.
