of 1900 books, which he has yet
to write, against $1,000, Colonel
Jack' says he is walking from
Portland, following the borders of
the United States, distance of
5000 miles. He is not only walk
ing the entire distance which to
win his wager, he must cover in
400 days, but in pushing a small
wheelbarrow covered with post
cards and other souvenirs of the
journey, which he calls the
"Sphinx" and in it he carries his,
articles Of wearing apparel and
other necessities, or to use his own
words, it is his baggage car.
Colonel Jack" whose real name
is j. A. Krohn, started from Port
land, Me-, on June 1, and is at the
present time, by his own accounts,
25O miles ahead of his shedule,
having travelled over 1900 miles
from Portland to Bemidji.
The method used to prohibit
him from taking ride is to have
him call at every postotfice along
the line of tramp and getting the
Office employees to place a stamp in
a small book. which he carries for
that purpose. In order to COM
plete the task in the given time,
Mr.. Krohn is compelled to walk

WlLLlSTON BOYS
RETURN Home
COMPANY E REPORT A fine time AND
The BOYS ENJOYED
CAMP LIFE.

After spending about two
weeks in encampment at Lake
American, Washington, Company
E arrived home Monday evening,
a little worse for wear from the
long trip home, but were never
theless glad to get back and are
very enthusiastic over the outing.
Lake American, where the en-
campment was held, is a beautiful
spot, but the weather was at times
so raw and damp as to make it
necessary for the boys to resort to
heavy overcoats and blankets in
order to keep warm and so far as
climate is concerned the boys pre-
fer that to northwestern North
Dakota at any time of the year.
One of the conveniences at Camp
David Stanley is the fact that the
railway station is located right in
the very center of the camp
grounds and is therefore most con-
venient for the coming and going
of troops.
The boys had an excellent taste
of real army life during their two
days. hike and an excellent idea
was obtained as to just what real
army life is like.
The country in the vicinity of
American Lake is just now filled
with ripening fruit and everybody
was enabled to secure as much as
they wanted of it.
Camp was broken on the even
ing of the 28th and after reaching
Seattle the train was held up un-
til four O'Clock the next afternoon
and the boys therefore took the
opportunity Of again seeing the
sights of the big city. " Several

THINKS DURUm
PRICE TOO LOW
NORTH DAKOTA ASSOCIATION IS con-
QUOTING STRONG CAMPAIGN Of
EDUCATION.
That North Dakota farmers VIII

That North Dakota farmers who
are raising durum wheat are losing
millions of dollars yearly because
the people generally do not under
stand the food value of this grain,
is the opinion of the farmers and
the North Dakota Durum Wheat
Association.
Durum wheat was imported
from Russia by the United States
department of agriculture and it
has been found to be a hardy grain,
to the raising of which all of
North Dakota, with the exception
of the Red river valley, is we'll
adapted. The farmers of this
state have gone into it's cultivation
quite extensively, raising 22,-
900, 900 bushels last year, but they
feel that they are not getting for
it what it is worth.
After several scientific tests
Professor I4add of the North Da-
kota agricultural college stated
that bread made from Durum
-four contains more gluten or
bodybuilding substance than that
made from ordinary wheat flour.
In a recent test 200 loaves of du-
rum and 200 loaves of spring
wheat bread were submitted to
competent judges and IA per cent
of them favored the durun bread.
Under these circumstances the
durum wheat raisers feel heir
product ought to bring as much
in the market as No. 1 northern,
while as matter of fact the price
is about 25 cents less.
