expense Of furnishing water supply.
Mark benson. city engineer, said he
had been working upon the water propo-
sition for Col. Faw for the past eighteen
months. He had .been over the whole
section to the head of Little Horse and
had located lines all along Horse Creek.
Faw's source Of supply. which had been
filed upon. was the same as the other
parties were offering.
L. R. Fenlason stated he had read Col.
Faw's contract and the colonel asked for
30 days to see whether he could raise
finances to put through his proposition.
The other parties had the funds to put
through their proposition and were only
asking for wait Of so days to prepare
their plans.
H. w. Lance said that the city had got
along with its expensive water system
for many years and q month one way or
the other would cause no material hard

E. c. Shelton also counseled slow

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. s.--City
Atty. Edwin A. Palmer Of Williston is
in Grand Forks today for the purpose
Of looking up the city's method of

some time been in rather bad shape
The move for a better system Of
keeping the city records In Williston
was given a sudden start some time
ago when it was discovered that City
Aud. w. T. Poe, now in the state peni-
tertiary, had juggled the city's ac-
counts to such an extent that he was
about $4,000 short in his accounts
The exact amount Of Poe's short
age is not known even yet, according
to Attorney Palmer. The amount is
In the, neighborhood bf $4,000 how
ever. From the water works fund
there was a shortage Of about $4,000 to
So. 00O In the general fund the short
age is over $1,000, while on raised war
rants Poe cleaned up good sized
sum Of money.

new ROAD FOR
NORTH DAKOTA

Darlington, N. D., Seept. s.-V. r.
Coon, financial man OF Detroit, has
been in correspondence with Frank
More, secretary Of the Darlington
Commercial club, for some time rela-;
tive to the construction OF a new line
of railway through this ysection. The,
road is planned as an independent
venture, running from Grafton, north
Of Grand Forks, to Bismarck, Caring
ton being in direct line. A glance
at the map shows that the corstruc-
tion OF such a road would tap a rich
country not now adequately supplied
with transportation facilities. Not only
Is there much business from the north
east corner to the capital city that
needs more direct route, but q large
number of new towns could be estab-
lished that would have large trade
territories.
The road, If built, would be operated
by steam and not controlled by any
line in the state. Money for the road
would be secured in England.
Mr.. Coon wants several commune
ties along the line of proposed railway
to agree to furnish bonuses Of $4,000
to aid in the promotion of the affair
as well as to furnish rights of way and
adequate terminal facilities.
Darlington is about midway between
the two proposed terminals and would
no doubt, be selected as a division
point Such an addition to our already
good railway facilities would securely
clinch the matter of the future OF Car
rington as the principal city and dis
tributing center Of central North Da-
kota.
Mr. Coon expects to come to this
section soon to personally Investigate
the situation. He claims to be able
to secure sufficient money to finance
the building Of the road and to be
willing to start surveyors as soon as
the people along the route show sum
cient interest.
There is always a, good chance that
such roads viii not be built but In the
present case the territory to be tapped
fully justifies the expenditure of the
money needed. Before many years
some company is going to build rail-
way through the section now under
consideration. And when the road
comes through, Darlington is going to
shoot ahead at a rate that will graf

The Forum before leaving for WASH

a branch of the department Of agri-

Because Of this 1T is imperative thas
we make an annual inspection OF these

I'VE examine the books and give

station needs very little advice. II

results.

I'VE are not only interested in this
experimental work., said DR.. True,
'but we are trying to promote agri-
cultural education by every means
which we find practicable.
There is one thing which clearly
shows the practical good Of the North

the constantly increasing areas OF
land in the state that is devoted to
corn and clover raising.

r. .. KENNEL MEETS WITH TER
RIBLE ACCIDENT ON HIS
FARM AT ICELAND.

Devils Lake, N. D.. Sept. 3.-Yes-
terday afternoon, while cutting hay
near Egeland. r J. Kennedy, a well
known citizen Of that place had one
foot cut OFF by a moving machine and
the other one so badly mangled that
IL is feared amputation will become
necessary. The unfortunate man was
brought 70 Devils Lake on the Farm
ers train this morning and taken to
Mercy hospital under the care OF DR..
Linger Of Egeland.
Mr.. Kennedy's son was driving the
team which was hitched to the NOW
err. The mower was in deep grass and
while the team had stopped minute
for some purpose Mr.. Kennedy ad-
vanced to speak to his son. The grass
so completely covered the sickle bar
that Mr.. Kennedy did not notice 1t.
and as he approached the machine the
team SHE'D and made a rather sud-
den turn, the sickle striking him just
above the ankles. Mrs. Kennedy was
near by and she hurried to the res
cue of her husband. Hastily tearing
up her apron and skirt to her dress
she succeeded in temporarily check
ing the flow of blood, and the injured
man was carried to the office of Dr.
Linger. The left foot was so nearly
severed that the amputation was fin
ished. DR.. Linger has serious doubts
as to being able to save the other
foot, but brought his patient to the
hospital that he might have the best
possible care.
