Kind Words for DR.. Moeller.

We regret to inform our read
ers that DR.. Thor Moeller is go
ing to leave Devils Lake in a few
days to take up his residence in
Minot, where he has secured Of
fees in the new Blaisdell-Bird
building. DR.. Moeller has en-
joyed a very profitable practice
in Devils Lake, ane while we re-
greet to see our city lose such an
able physician and public spirited
citizen as DR.. Moeller has proven
himself to be during the years
he has resided among us. we con-
graduate Minot and wish the
doctor all success. DR.. Thor
Moeller was for years secretary
of the Devils Lake District Medi-
cal Society and is a prominent
member Of the Auxiliary National
Legislative committee of the
American Medical Association.
Being a thirty-second degree Ma
son and a Shriner, master of the
local Masonic lodge and president
of the Heimdal Lodge, Sons of
Norway, it is safe to say that the
fraternal societies in this town
will regret the departure of the
genial doctor fully as much as
the community at large. Devils

OF ALL SAD WORDS OF TONGUE OR PEN
THE SADDEST ARE-lT MIGHT
HAVE BEEN!

That's just about exactly what man
thinks who builds house for himself
and then can't keep comfortable in it in
the winter. He thinks how different it
might have been if be had only built it
warm in the first place.
Anybody knows that it is1nuch cheap
er to build warm house than it is to
heat a cold one. Yet thousands of peo-
pie, who puild, lose sight of that fact
and every year shovel hundreds of good
round dollars into their stoves and heat
ers-when there is absolutely no need
for it.
None whatever! Now the question is:
When you build house this season are
you going to spend few dollars more
and build a warm, comfortable one or
will you save those few dollars and then
see them, and many more go up the
chimney later, trying to keep yourself
and family comfortable in cold weather?
Decide the question right and you will
have comfort, good health and economy.
Decide it wrong and you will have ill
health and doctor bills.
You we'll know that there is neither
comfort nor enjoyment living in house
where you have to sit huddled up to a
red hot stove and at the same time feel
the gentle zephyrs from the north pole
chasing down your spinal column.
1t costs only a tritle more to build
your house snug and warm il you under

Less wheat and more beef,

Editors Of the Independent
l received three copies Of the indie
pendent this week forwarded from
Seattle and am sorry to see that you are
having such severe winter. This has
been the worst winter on the Pacific
coast since 1889. During the last week
I spent in Seattle in January last, the
snow lay on the ground, several inches
deep, without thawing in the day time,
the children were skating, AID snow.

skates were rented at $500 a day, so
great was the demand and so small the
supply.
lay on the ground all the way through
Washington and Oregon aud into Cali
fornla. At Portland the Columbia rive r
was frozen over, the first time for II
years, and the wind was bitterly cold.
We stayed day in San Francisco, where
mud took the place Of snow; as the side
walks are only partially replaced, the
streets deep in mud and the electric car
service very inadequate and hotel &C.
limited, we were glad to
move on. Altho much has been done in
the way Of removing debris, the wrecked
portion of the city is still in state of
chaos, the retail business has been
moved to different section of the city
and it is hard to believe that the old
downtown sections will ever be what
they we're formerly.
We we're fortunate in getting from
San Francisco to Los Angeles between
washouts, as the track was blocked for
three days before and was washed out
again the day after we passed over it.
We are now in Pasadena, the crown of
southern California, and it is hard to
realize that this is winter, such glorious,
warm sunny days, such wealth of flow
ers and fruit and perfumes. wish my
friends in Ward county could all be here
for the next six weeks.
Please send the Independent to the
above address till return.

ROPES A MOUNTAIN LION.
Ranehman Has a Strenuous Time
with a Savage Beast.

Ranehman Has a Strenuous Time
with a Savage Beast.
1t was a foolish thing for him to do,
nor can he account for the notion that
possessed him, but Nate Gardner,
Fall River County ranchman, roped a
mountain lion and had a strenuous time
later on, says the New York World
correspondent at Sioux Falls, S. D.
While riding across country Gardner
sighted the cat sneaking toward
bunch of timber about 600 yards die
tant. The surprise Of both man and
lion was mutual, and for a moment
they stood looking at each other. Then
the cat gave one Of its screaming cries
and started for the trees.
Reused by the movement, Gardner
put spurs to his mount and pursued,
loosening up his lariat as he rode. He
made his cast just as the lion was
about to enter the timber, and the rope
settled down over the head of the prey
The trained cow-pOny stopped with
jerk, planted his feet, and when the
rope became taut the mountain lion
was thrown violently off its feet, turn
Inging a couple of sOmersaults in the
air.
For a moment the animal lay still,
with the pony holding the rope braced
against it. But it was just for a mo-
ment, for, regaining its feet with a
jump, the fierce animal started for the
ranchman and his pony. The lion had
its ears laid back, its fangs exposed
and emitted blOOd-curdling yells.
Then commenced race for life. 1t
needed no urging for the sturdy cow
pany to make a start. Turning as If on
a pivot it took a back track at mad
speed, with the mountain lion taking
up the slack Of the rope. 1t was a
pretty chase for about half a mile,
when the endurance Of the pony and
the severity OF its somersault throw
told on the mountain lion, which at last
found the pace too swift. The rope
again became taut as the lion dropped
behind, and It, was not long before the
lion was dragged of IT'S feet.
The rest was easy. When the pony
finally was pulled up there was a dead
mountain lion dragging along at the
end Of the lariat. thankful man on
the pOny's back, and a pony relieved of
a great fear.

T4EFTs OF THE TRADE RAT.

Always Leaves Something in Ex-
change for What 1t steals.
One Of the oldest little animals in
existence Is the California wood rat,
better known as the trade rat" 1t
owes the latter name to the fact that,
though it is a great thief, it never
steals anything without putting some
thing else In Its place.
The story Is told Of a paste pot
which had been left over night in the
assay ONCE at the Silver Queen mine
and which was found in the morning
filled with the oldest collection Of rub
bish. This was the work Of trade rats.
They had stolen the paste and left in
exchange piece Of stick, a length of
rope, some odds and ends Of Irvine and
an unbrOken glass funnel.
The object Of the trade rat In so
scrupulOusly paying for what he takes
Is something Of mystery, but these
same rats certainly take the greatest
pleasure in the odds and ends which
they collect.
A description Is given Of trade rats
nest found in an unoccupled house. The
outside was composed entirely Of iron
spikes laid in perfect symmetry, with
the points outward. Tnterlaced with
the spikes were about two dozen forks
and spoons and three large butcher
knives.
There were also large carving fork,
knife and steel, several plugs Of to-
bacco, an old purse; a quantity of small
carpenter tools, including several aug
ers, and watch Of which the outside
casing, the glass and the works were
all distributed separately, so as to
make the best show possible. Altogeth-
er the oldest collection! None Of these
things was Of any earthly use to the
rats. They must have collected them
just in the same way that a child
boards up odds and ends to play with.

were once used were arranged to divide

Australia was practically colonized
by conVicts," he said. There is no use
denying this. The colonizers of Aus

'"The descendants of these convicts
are now Australia's leading families,
the richest, the most influential, the
most intelligent, the most respected.
And yet these excellent people were
in the past at the mercy of every
