"A NIaxbass farmer has concluded
that the mail order houses are
crooked. He sent to one Of them
for some paint and found that they
had sent him the poorest quality
paint, made Of crude oil, cotton seed
oil and marble dust, gasoline and
water. Such mixture could not be
sold for pure paint in North Dakota,
owing to our strict laws, but there is
no law prohibiting the mail order
houses from soaking the farmer. The
paint 60 was absolutely devoid OF
linseed oil, white lead, or any Of the
standard paint ingredients. The law
OF the state will protect you il you
give it q chance.

The fact that gas In great quantit-
les has been discovered within 50
miles OF Ninot, has already gotten
the manufacturers to take notice OF
this field, and the gas is piped to
this city, there will no doubt be an
influx OF manufacturing industries.
The Lanyon Zinc Co. Of Denver.
Colo, is making inquiries concerning
the gas, and in letter to the Com
mercial club, ask regarding It. They
believe that it will be entirely pos
sible to treat the ore from the Brit.
ish Columbia country, thus saving
a long haul to their present smelter
at lola, Kansas. This is but one OF
the many industries that we will
no doubt get in Minot, il the gas
proves to be the lasting kind.

Glover Hullers Now
E. S. Baboock OF the Farmers Sup
ply Co. informs the Globe Gazette
that he last week sold clover huller
to Mr.. F. H.. Dunn. Mr.. Dunn has
fifteen acres Of good clover to thresh
and has in prospect enough other
jobs to keep his huller busy for some
time. This sale is doubtless the first
of the kind in the southern part OF
the Red River Valley and marks q
new era in the agricultural develop
ment Of the Valley. Only few
years ago one would scarcely dare
prophesy that there would come =
time when enough clover would be
raised in this county to warrant the
purchase Of huller, but We have
every reason to believe now that
clover will soon be as standard q
crop here as corn or oats.-Wahpe-

FINE PRESENT
FOR THE YACHT
W. w. DIMOND AND COMPANY
GIVE A HANDSOME TEA SET 70
THE HAWAII

The yacht committee received one
of the haudsOmest donations that they
have received yet yesterday for the Ha-
wall from w. w. Dimond and Com
pany, in the shape of tea set consist
ing of thirty eight pieces decorated
with the Hawaiian coat of arms, and
the American and hawaiian flags en-
twined.
Several designs were submitted to
the committee, but after careful con-
sidoIation they decided that the set
with the coat of arms would be the
most appropriate for the new yacht.
The set will soon be an exhibition in
a Fort street store window.
There is still quite a balance needed
for the new yacht something like 81
500 and the committee are very de-
sirous to have it in as soon as posi-
bic. If any one has not given yet,
they will be doing a great favor to the
committee if they would make their
donation as soon as possible, as there
arc many things to be purchased for
the new defender that cannot be made
| unless the money is forthcoming.
Work on the new racer is progress
ing very rapidly and tine builders are
very much satisfied with the work that
| has been done so rar.
When the yacht starts for San Pedro
the citizens of Hawaii viii have the
right to be very proud of her as she
is in every way a well built and sea.
worthy craft, and also has another
feature and that is as much Hawaiian
as it is possible to make her.

SPORT NOTES

The hoped for trip of the Chicago
White Sox here this spring for train
ing purposes is all Off, as Manager
CUmlskey has written to Jess Woods
that he had already made other ar
rangmeents for this spring, but he
hoped that his team would be here next
year for training. In his letter Co
miskey stated that Pat Donahue had
given ALLOWING account of Honolulu
as a training spot, as well as being the
most hospitable place on earth. Co
miskey remarked that he was very
sorry not to be able to come this year,
but held out great hopes for 1909.
Woods leaves for the coast very shortly
and while there will see about arrange
ments for this coming season, and it
is almost certain that some team will
come down next fail for a series of
games with a picked team.
