will open Sept. 8, 1908. Prof. Sigurd
Odland, who resigned from the theo-
logical faculty of the University of
Christiania. will be one of the in

pastors will also join the faculty.
The opening Of this institution will
mark the elimination of a very inter-

"a movement to which references
have already been made in these col

against against present day tenden-
cies in Observation-Disclosures de-
nounced as unorthodox and anti
Christian by Prof. Odland and his fol-

theological faculty Of the university
that Prof Odland resigned and he
has since devoted part of his time
to lecturing against the new theolo.

A dispatch from Paris says that
certain Norwegians there proclaimed
the fact that Norway will soon follow
the lead Of France and change from
monarchy to republic.
That would be interesting, if true
but such statements will not be con.

doubtless true that very large per.
centage of the people would prefer a
republic to a monarchy, but it is
equally true that the people are well
satisfied with the present govern.

Then, too, the fact that King Haak.

related to the royal houses of Europe
and enjoy the sincere friendship of
King Edward, would cause the peo.
pie of Norway to hesitate before de.

North Dakota Wants Large Harvest
Army Now. e ~ .#
Twenty thousand men will be need
ed for ninety days in North Dakota
this year to harvest one Of the great
est crops the state has ever produced.
This is the word brought by f. M.
Giltreath, deputy state commissioner
OF agriculture Of North Dakota, who
passed through st. Paul On his way
East few days ago. He declared that
many Of the reports Of poor crops in
North Dakota are absolutely unbound
ed and that the state will have the
finest harvest in the country.
Some OF the counties in the west
ern part Of the state which have been
recently settled will raise the largest
crops Of grain in their history" he
said. Counties such as Adams, Bill
ings, Hettinger, Mckenzie and Stark,
where homesteaders have gone in
large numbers will make new records.
Ward county will raise it's largest
crop. In a conversation which I had
recently with Judge Hettinger, who is
fully informed on conditions in many
of these counties, he said that some
wheat will average thirty-flve bushels
to the acre.
'The growing crop is excellent all
over the state, from the newest coun-
ties in the. west to the Red river val.
ley, where everybody is happy. Some
Of the reports which have been put in
circulation regarding poor crops in
parts of North Dakota make me angry,
so far are they from the plain truth.
ITO harvest this crop, at least TO-
900 men will be needed, and needed
badly. They can get all the way from
So to So day, and the work on the
crop moving will last for ninety days,
beginning about the middle Of August.
"But North Dakota needs men bad
1y all the year round. We can't get
enough men to do the work. Common
laborers can get from 81 to So a day
the year around. Carpenters are get
ting 81 to IS day, and brick masons
higher wages than any place else in
the country. North Dakota has never
been SO. prosperous as it is now.
1T is hardly possible for people
who visited the state five years ago to
realize that it is the same state. Men
are needed for all these improvements
and changes. The improvements are
substantial now, too. Brick buildings
are being put in place of frame ones,
North Dakota has some of the finest
brick clay there is, and improvements
of that kind are only being delayed by
the scarcity of brick masons.
1--WE don't Look for a car shortage
in North Dakota this year. because we
think the crops in the East will not be
so large as those of our state and that
the railroads will be able to get plenty
Of cars to keep us supplied"
North Dakota will take unusual
steps to get enough men to keep the
crop moving. w. C. Gilbreath, CON-
missioner of agriculture, will be in St..
Paul about Aug. i to do everything
possible to get harvest hands for the
state, and is said to have a new plan
by which men may be secured.

1t may be interesting to the sporting
fraternity to know something of the
haul of big game made in this vicinity
in the last ten days.
Robert Boyce, John Hazelton and
Edgar Cross started trapping for bear
on the tract lying between the North
and South turnpike and Gouldsboro,
about two weeks ago. About ten days
ago, Mr.. Boyce caught the first bear, a
cub weighing about 20 pounds. The
following day Hazelton and Cross
caught another bear that weighed about
100 pounds. On Tuesday morning of
last week Boyce had another bear cub
| Ill his ITdp anu IIle OIiler UWO lTdppeTS,
Hazelton and Cross, had cub in one
trap and two hundred pound bear in
another. A day or so later Boyce trap
ped another larger cub and Hazelton
shot another large bear, weighing two
hundred pounds, making seven bears
killed within circle of less than two
miles.
Mr.. Boyce sold one of the cubs to F.
D. Waltz and with the meat of the
others he has been treating his friends
and neighbors to bear steak. Messrs.
Hazelton and Cross sold one cub to
VIM. Hughes, of Scranton, the large
cub to a man in Easton and one big
bear to a man in Nazareth. The large
bear that was shot will probably be sent
to Scranton.
Mr.. Hazelton's dog has treed eleven
raccoons this fall and they were all kill
ed. One caught last Friday night weigh
ed trifle over Is pounds. After killing
all this big game there is some chance
for small game to grow.

1t will be a wonder if the borough of
Waymart doesn't have some damages
to pay in the near future, as they have
a large force of men and teams drawing
and filling in the road with rocks and
stone between the Hubbard & McMulen
stock farm and Waymart. At the pre-
sent time there's stretch of about one
half mile of stone ndrock, without any
covering. Just drive over toward Way
mart with heavy load, and if the su-
pervisor don't get blessing it will be
because you are too much out of breath
to give it to him.
