English Sparrow Club.

In Essex, England, the Elsenham
Sparrow club fiourishes. 1t holds a
meeting and dinner once a year, at
which time the members give an ac-
count of their efforts toward keeping
down the sparrow pest. It's president,
Walter Gilbey, describes its work as
follows:
"All the farmers and most OF those
who have gardens in the parish,
which covers 1 $3.50 acres, and some
tenants of neighboring farms belong
to the club, which was established
seventeen years ago. The rules are
very simple: Each member under
takes to kill one sparrow for each
acre of his holding between Septem-
ber l and May and sends the heads
to the local innkeeper, who keeps a
record of them. If the members tai
ly falls short of the total he ought to
send he is fined Id for each head
lacking, the money going to a fund
which is spent in refreshments at the
annual supper of the club held at the
inn. The sum raised by fines, how
ever, is, am informed, practically
nil.
Two sparrows an acre were killed
annually during the first two or three
years of the clubs. existence, and the

Officer Thompson was Immediately
dispatched to the scene. He found
the dog located beneath a bed at the
Moss home Not wishing to shoot
the animal in the house, the official
placed his revolver on a stand and
proceeded to grapple with the beast.
In his effort to get the dog from

Thompson or the spectators will

at the officer, he saw that 1t was
either a case of being bitten or act

The dog was an old animal and

LAND OF
Missouri Slope a Country of Great Undeveloped Natural

Land. Future Development Assured.

Between the Missouri river and Mon.
tana lies that part of North Dakota
known as the Missouri Slope. Like any
other country, its future lies in its great
resources and their development. Rich
in fertile land adapted to agriculture,
rich in vast fields of Ignite coal, rich in
immense deposits of the finest clays in
the world, and possessed of a climate
invigorating and healthful, the Missouri
Slope stands out as a land of opportuni-
ties.

New Salem and Hebron for the past few
years are the guarantee that stamps
dairying a success on the Slope.
A few years ago our Ignite coal was
practically unknown, today it is used in
our factories and mills, our large heating
plants and our homes. 1t is being
mined extensively, and already it finds
The Dickinson press., 1908-03-28

a market beyond the borders of our
state. Practical tests have demonstrated
that it is the best and cheapest producer
of power gas, and already it is used for
that purpose in Edinburg, North Da-
kota.
Our clays cover vast areas. Already
100000 brick are made from them
every year and they have also been
made into the most beautiful pottery.
Near the clay lies the coal, a cheap fuel
with which to run the machinery of brick
yards, and the ease and facility with
which our clay is worked over into the
manufactured article, together with the
ever diminishing lumber supply, makes
the outlook for the development of the
clay industry exceedingly bright.
The Missouri Slope is indeed a land
of great un%developed natural resources.
