overcome the effects of the exagger-
ated storm:reports sent out from the
northwest last winter than here we
are up against a like offense of the
string fends over the usual hot
weather demonstrations by wind and
rain. One headline says, "North Da-
kota and Minnesota Swept by Gale. !"
when the details Of the story show
that just one locality in North Da-
kota suffered some damage, store
front being blown in, a barn moved
several inches off its base, several
chicken and hog houses scattered
about and William Cameron's kitchen
ripped from the house and the kitch-
en- range turned over. 10 this state
the damage was confined to Brown
county, where number of loosely
constructed fair buildings were blown
down and q lot 81 people scared into
their storm cellars. or course, this
damage Is bad enough for the par
ties directly concerned, but there is
nothing in it to warrant the big,
black headlines shouting to the
whole envious outside world, "Wind
Storm Spreads Ruin in the North
west!" Come down, boys, come
down to earth while yet the season
is young, for if there should be a
repetition of the Aug. 20 cyclone of
few years since, you wouldn't have
any descriptive resources left.

Meetings C1osed-Monday was
the last of the Methodist camp
meetings in the grove near the
river. the plan of continuing them
over for two more days having been
changed. There were over 1000 visitors
here during the meetings, and all
who were present as we'll as the
ministers and those in charge were
very well pleased with the results.
The generosity of the business men
and the welcome given the associa-
tion by the city and the public is
greatly appreciated. Had not the
unfortunate reports of contagious
diseases been put in circulation
there would no doubt have been
many more visitors present. In the
list of visitors from abroad there
we're residents of 100 towns .and 8
states. The expenses Of the meet
ings have been provided for, and the
contribution Of 900 by the business
men for the lumber in the taber-
nacle was heartily welcomed by the
association. Jamestown's hospital
ity will be made known in many
places by those who enjoyed the SER
vices this year end who will look
forward with much pleasant antici-
patton to the next annual meeting.

Prefer Jamestown-The creation
of the new railroad division Of the
N. P. will not reduce the business
derived from the company at James
town either directly or indirectly. In
fact it is probable that it will be the
means of increasing the total num-
ber of men and their families who
will make jamestown headuarters.
Those who have come here to live
since the new division was estab-
lishel will exceed those, all told, who
have gone to the new division. The
growth of the country comprising the
Jamestown division will be steady
and the consequent increase of rail-
ways employees as well as Of the work
Of the machinery department here,
will be seen in.the future. Such at
least. is the opinion of railroad men.
1t will be more pleasant for train
men to live In Jamestown and more
convenient than to 60 back and forth
from Fargo to Dilworth, the new
headquarters of the new division.
Dilworth is over three miles from
Fargo.

Money in Hogs-The Glendale, N.
D., Record prints the following show
ing what Gao be done in the raising
of hogs as part of the diversified
farming which this country is so we'll
adapted to-: "Will Phillips was in
town Friday, and told the Leader a
story apont raising hogs which seems
'inefeditable, bot coming from Will it
is safe to. say the STORY is true. His
six year old son had saved five hun
dred pennies and gave them to his
sather to deposit in the bank. On his
way to town Mr.. Phillips had a
chance to purchase a.sow pig and the
thought occurred to him that the
SOW would pay bigger dividends than
the interest at the bank would
amount to, so he purchased the SOW,
which in the course Of two weeks
gave birth to seven pigs. The pur-
chase was made May 8, 1905. Since
that time the boy has sold S504.60
worth of pork and has on hand at
this writing, eighty six pigs which
will be fit for market this fall.

Accommodating Coal The Northern
Pacific is accumulating a supply of
soft coal at several points on the
division to be held for emergencies Of
the future. There are now about
10, 600 tons here, and it is reported
that 5000 tons will be stored at
Fargo, 5000 at Darlington and 5000
at Mandan. The experiences of last
winter in the shortage of company
fuel are not likely to occur again
soon. The example Of the railroad
company will probably be followed by
most everybody this summer and fall
getting in early supplies of fuel.
There will be no excuse for shortage
next winter.

! MURDER /. ] & ] TRIAL
Barnes County Farmer on Trial
for Life at Valley City.
States Case In.

Valley City, N. D., June 2l-The
McClure-Lewis murder trial is now
on at Valley City in the dIstricrt
court. before Judge Burke, States
A Attorney Zuger having completed
his case for the state in the remark
ably short time OF FIVE hours, ,examin-
ing ten witnesses and establishing
the states case of murder in the
first degree or. "a seemingly very firm
foundation. #,
The principal witness for the state
was G. M. Padgett, who testified that
he saw the murder Of Lewis by Nc
Clure on the morning of June It'll.
Lewis had stayed with Padgett the
previous night, and in tie morning
Mcclure drove over from the farm
and asked for Lewis, and the latter
came out. Padgett remained on the
porch few minutes, then turned to
enter the house and as he did so saw
a fash of smoke near McClure's
wagon and saw Lewis pitch forward
on his face. When he reached the
stricken man, Lewis was laying in a
pool of blood, and trying in vain to
rise on one elbow. Mcclure had
driven 90, then turned back opposite
the body, turned again and drove
home. He soon went over to Dazey
and gave himself up.
Two other eye witnesses testified
to having seen Mcclure fire from the
wagon. Neither Mcclure nor Lewis
seemed excited and the witnesses
had no warning OF the tragedy.
Attorney Lee Combs. who is hand
ling the defense then took up the
case and made strong plea, In
which he undertook to show the mo-
tive for the killing was the frenzy
over the lost affections of wife,
and the violation OF the most sacred
ties of the family.

Spraying Dandelions-Trials at
the A. c.. on killing dandelions with
chemical sprays have progressed suni-
ciently to indicate that this weed
pest can be disposed OF much more
easily by spraying than by digging.
The spray with iron sulphate-2
pounds to l gallon of water, or copper
sulphate, ! pound to 3 gallons of
water-has been found to kill the
young or seeding dande]ions. The
old plants have heavy roots and
sprout up again after each spraying
in about one week; but as one can
easily spray many plants while he
could cut on one he can we'll afford
to lay for them and give the lawn
several doses during the summer.
After spraying with the chemical
the lawn should not be watered, so
as to wash off the solution too soon.
