A DIVING CAT

1t is well known that cats hate
water, but love fish. The following
incident taken from the Mittheilungen
des Mahrischen Landes Fischerei-Ver-
ems shows how far this desire for a
favorite dainty will overcome the dis
like of a wetting. In October last,
when the trout were coming into the
shadows to spawn, a keeper saw Il
cat go bodily down into the water till
only her head was left uncovered. At
first he thought that pussy must be
troubled with fleas and had adopted
this original but effective means OF
getting rid of them. Hhe waited to see
whether she would have the courage
to duck her head under when her six
legged population had sought this last
refuge. And, sure enough, in min
ute or so, down went the head also.
but only to reappear a second or two
later with a ten-inch trout between
the cats jaws, which she promptly
carried to the banks

Conductor Backs Train; Then Orders
High Speed to Eiude so Invaders.
A Great Northern freight crew hao
an exciting adventure with half hun
dred tramps and crooks who were
anxious to get from Fargo to Grand
Forks to take in the fair. The gang
climbed on a freight train at Fargo
and defied the trainmen. When Hills
boro was reached the conductor got
instructions to put them off.
With the assistance of Hillsboro Of
ficials the crew succeeded in clearing
the cars, but the intruders were ugly
and inclined to do violence. The con-
ductor then pretended that he had or.
ders to sidetrack for a passenger train
and he backed his train up several
hundred yards. Then the train went
ahead and dashed past the hoboes on
the platform at such a high rate of
speed they were unable to get aboard.
Freight trains have been crowded
for several days when men who are
stealing rides to the harvest fields,

who admit they are not looking for

State Engineer Atkinson has re
turned to Bismarck from the West.
During his absence he visited the
shoshone irrigation project in the Big
Horn basin, near Cody, Wyo., where
he met Secretary Of the Interior Car
field and Mr.. Newell, director of the
reclamation service, and discussed
with them the several proposed irri-
cation projects in North Dakota. Sur
veys will be commenced at once on
the Washburn project, across the riv.
err from Washburn, and it is hoped
that the surveys can be completed
this fall so that construction work
can be started next season.
The Bowman county project will
also be surveyed as soon as the sur
veys on the above named projects
are completed.
Mr.. Atkinson also visited the Hunt
ley, Mont, project, and the irrigation
districts tributary to Billings, where
large quantities of sugar beets are
being profitably raised under irriga-
ton, and believes that North Dakota
soil will produce more abundantly
under irrigation than any of the land
in the irrigated districts which he Wis
tied.

FORMER PIONEER DIES.

Contracted illness While Attending
Sunday School Convention.
Adam M Groner, aged fifty-one, died
at his home in Forman, after a three
weeks illness from typhoid fever.
which he contracted while attending
the recent national Sunday school con-
vention at Louisville, KY. On his re-
turn home he was speedily compelled
to take to his bed, from which he
never arose. Mr.. Groner was a pio-
neer settler of Sargent county, and a
member Of the old settlers associa-
ton of that county. He was born in
Park township, Mich, Aug. %, 1857,
and was married to Nellie A. Hime-
baugh Feb. S, 1884. They came to
Harlem township. in Sargent county,
soon after their marriage, and resided
there until 1892, when Mr.. Groner was
elected county treasurer, and soon
moved to Forman, where deceased
and his family have resided for fifteen
years. Two daughters were born to
Mr.. and Mrs Groner, Mary, now 81
years old, and Blanche, 10 years Of
age.

He pulled them out Of the barn onto

The boys were taken into the house
and Miss Larson, trained nurse, and

is a coal miner in one of the mines
at Kenmare, came to Rockies home
while Streiss was there and during an
argument that started Jones and
Streiss came to blows and that during
the mixup Jones got grip on Streiss'
cheek, and after the combatants were
separated it is said that the complain

The parties mixed up in the affair
are all well known in Stanley and

imperial Ward Has Another PROPOSE
ton for. Consideration.
II all the people could be pleased,
imperial Ward county will have ali
the imperialism cut out of it at the
election next fall.
It appears that all of the people
in the north end of the county are
not satisfied by any means with the
proposed division creating Lake coun-
ty, and as a result have circulated
petitions and will ask that Lake coun-
ty be sliced in two, making. Burke
and Renville Counties and allowing
Lake county to be come submerged in
its own waters, and the new division
so proposed will leave Kenmare in
Ward county or rather what will be
left of Ward county.
The petition will divide the proposed
Lake county at the famous Des. Laos
lake bridge line and will jog north
of Kenmare in direct line east,
thence south to the line connecting
with the proposed new county Of
Montrail. From the same point on
the Renville county line the jog will
run east and then south, missing
Kenmare and taking the north tier
of towns off Ward county, compen-
sating Ward by giving it the towns
right around Kenmare. These petit.
tions are supposed to be ready to file
with the county commissioners, and
this will be done within the next few
days so as to have the commissioners
act on them at the present meeting.

BY securing an inexhaustible supply
Of water Of the best quality two miles
west Of Hankinson the plans Of the

The water from the company's we'll in

was sunk on the branch about two
miles west. Here flow Of fine water
was secured at a shallow depth, and
the supply seems unlimited. AS re-
suit the old tank and pumping station
was moved this week from the site on
Main street and is being rebuilt near
the new well which is located just
west of the 500 and Great Northern
crossing, just two miles out of town
The company has long realized that

the eastern terminus Of the Bismarck
branch, but it is said lack of salts.
factory water has prevented any move
in this direction. Now that this OBJ.
lection has been overcome it is the
general talk among the employees that
the company will put good sized
roundhouse and repair shops near the
new well. II the plan is carried out
1t will bring large colony of ma.
chinists and other employees there and
greatly increase the 500 payroll at
that point. The Importance Of this can
readily be seen and it will result

There is no official confirmation of
the report as yet, but the talk Is cur

-. DEN MARK.

Over 100 Danish athletes participat.
ed in the Olympic games at London,
some of them being women, who took
part in the gymnastics. The Danish
government appropriated 10000
crowns to defray the expenses of the
athletes SO as to insure a full repre-
sentatiOn.
The value of the export of eggs,
pork and butter from Denmark to
England during the first five months
of the present year is no less than
5,604.000 crowns in excess of the
shipments during the same period last
year. This is a good illustration of
the rapid growth Of the dairy, swine
and chicken industries in the country.
In 1906 Denmark exported 10000
horses; in 1906 $4,000. and in 1907
only 10000. From this it might an
pear that fewer horses are now being
produced than formerly, but such is
not the case. The demand for horses
in Denmark has greatly increased.
largely owing to the activity of the
tenants or "husmaend," who are as
sorting themselves as never before.
In 1905 only 5000 horses were i'm
ported, whereas in 1907 the number
had risen to $4,000, or 1000 greater
than the number exported. The
horses imported are mostly Of small
type and are purchased by the ten
ants.
The sugar factories Of Denmark
are enjoying exceptional prosperity.
Their business was SO good in 1907
that they were able to declare a diyi-
dend Of II per cent. and the shares
