DISPATCH BOUGHT
PIONEER PRESS
NEWSPAPER CONSOLIDATION In ST.
PAUL MEANS DISCONTlTUANCE OF
EVENING EDITION.

St. Paul, May 14.-Webster
Wheelock, editor, and one of the
principal owners of the Pioneer
Press company, today announced
to the Associated Press the sale of
the Pioneer Press newspaper, af-
ternoon and morning, the twelve
story building and its manufactur-
ing plant to G. II. Grasty and 9TH
ers interested in publishing the
St. Paul Dispatch. Mr.. Wheel
ock said that although the final
transfer of the stock of the Pion-
eer Press company had not yet
been made, the preliminary nego-
tiations toward that end had been
completed.
The absorption by the Dispatch
of the Pioneer Press will undoubt-
edly mean the discontinuance of
the evening Pioneer Press, the af-
ternoon edition of that paper.

Wreck on the 500.

Valley City, N. d., May Is.
Today there occurred a wreck on
the 500 just east of Courtney,
which might have resulted disas-
trously. Through the spreading
of defective rails, two day coaches
and the emigrant sleeper left the
track while the train was going at
a high rate of speed. All three
coaches and the mail and baggage
coaches went into the ditch, one
car flying 30 feet from the track.
The Pullmans and diners remained
on the track. Many people were
bruised and scratched and but
three seriously injured and they
not fatally. They all sustained
injuries to their backs. Two hun
dred yards of the tracks were torn
up and traffic blockaded all day.

Tillage Affects Everyone.

Thorough tillage of the soil is
something worth while. The sci
enti6c tillage of the soil brings
rich returns for the labor. AS an
investment there is nothing quite
its equal.
On an average township in the
arabic area there are probably 2O,-
600 acres Of land subject to tillage.
1t is entirely possible, indeed
quite probable, that by scientific
tillage of the soil the average crop
value in either the semi-arid or
the humid regions, can be raised
$50 an acre.
Do you realize what this means 2
1t means that the actual value of
the land of the average township
will be increased three or four
million dollars. 1t will be worth
that much more than where the
farm methods are of the old slip
shod variety.
1t has been demonstrated be-
yond the shadow Of a doubt that
in the dry country especially-and
elsewhere the results are just as
good-the average production of
wheat, for instance, per acre can
be increased from 10 to Is bushels
now recorded, to SO or 60 bushels
an acre.
This doesn't mean an occasional
large yield, but it means a regular
thing. What if it does cost 50 or
So an acre more to farm this way9
The difference between Is bushels
an acre and even 30 bushels an
acre is worth having.
But all this means a great deal
to the farmer, and it means a
great deal also to the community
in which he lives, to his county
and state, to the towns and cities
and their merchants and profess
ional men, to the railroads, the
shoppers, the dealers, to every
body.-H. w. Campbell, Lincoln,
Nebraska.

THE new RULING ON COAL
LANDS IS PROHlBITlVE
RULING OF COAL LANDS ISSUED APRIL 10th. BY MIE-
Rl0R DEPARTMENT STRONG SETTLERS COULD
NOT COMPLY WITH IT.

reached by 500 foot shaft. If a
settler on the coal land wanted to
make proof and lived up to this
order he would have to hire a
we'll driller to drill 50O-foot we'll
on his place to show what coal
was there. This work would cost
a great deal of money and for this
reason the order practically elimi-
mates all chance for a man who
has filed on the land classified as
coal land since June 10, 1907, to
make proof.
This order does not effect filings
made prior to June 10, 1907. All
the filings made prior to June 10,
1907, are affected by the surface
bill passed by the senate last win
ter which leaves the burden of
proof on the government.
A three-foot vein of coal at or
within few feet of the surface
would be of some value but the
idea of placing any value on it
when 500 feet below the surface
is absurd. 1t would not be- worth
digging at a depth of fifteen feet.
1t is to be hoped that steps will be
taken to have this order modified.
The land in this district effected
by the order is in the following
townships:
Township 152, Range SO.
Township 153, Range SO, SO, 100
Township 154, Range 81, 100, 1O1
Township 155, Range 100, 1O1.

HOTEL TENANTS
ESCAPE DEATH
BUT SEVERAL WERE OVERCOME BY
SMOKE--.ELlENDALE HOSTELRY
SUFFERS LOSS.

Glendale, N. D., May IA
While the guests in the hotel
Dickey were at dinner at l o'clock
Thursday, fire was discovered in
the center of the basement. In
less than five minutes dense smoke
filled every apartment, and it was
only by prompt work of those
present that the women and chill
dren were removed before being
suffocated. There were no fatali-
ties but several were overcome by
smoke. On account of the loca-
tion of the fire and the dense
smoke, the firemen had great
trouble in locating the fire. Be-
fore being extinguished, a great
hole had burned through the floor
in the cafe part and the lunch
counter dropped through into the
basement.
The hotel was built and fur
nished at cost of more than $4O,-
900 and it was only opened to the
public on January Is last. The
loss to r. w. Dickey, the propri-
etor, will amount to not less than
$4,000, and it will be several
weeks before the damage can be

Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1909-05-20

In a circular issued April 10th
the Interior department at Wash
ington issued an order regarding
proofs on classified coal lands
that makes it practically impossi-
ble for settler to make proof.
In the classification of coal
lands Ignite coal is placed in class
D, and the circular states that
land underlaid with Ignite which
does not contain a thirty-six inch
vein or larger, shall be classified
as non-coal land. But to get this
classification the three foot vein
must be over 500 feet below the
surface. Section FIVE of the circu-
lar reads as follows:
Lands containing Goals of class
D of any thickness at a depth
greater than 500 feet shall be
classed as non-coal land, except
where the rocks are practically
horizontal and the coal lies within
one mile of the outcrop or point
at which it can be reached by a
five hundred foot shaft.
And this section is the one
which we believe puts the settler
up against it. When he offers
proof it will he up to him to
prove that there is not a three
foot vein or over within 500 feet
of the surface of the land or with
in one mile of the outcrop or
point where the vein could be

WRECKS BISMARCK HOSPITAL
TWO men BADLY SCALDED

Bismarck, May, II. An explo-
sion this morning Of the hot water
plant of St. Alexius hospital con-
siderably wrecked the building
and scalded two men.
Two plumbers were repairing
the heating plant and in some
manner the main steam pipe had
been shut off which stopped the
circulation of steam and terrific
explosion followed. Only the
two plumbers we're injured by
scalding, but the plant in the base
ment is completely wrecked as
we'll as the lower portion of the
building.
The floors of two stories of the
building were heaved out of shape
and the windows on the south side
were blown to the center of the
street.

MANY INJURED
IN EXPLOSION
EXPLOSION OF GAS PLANT AT LEEDS
WRECKS POOL BODYBUILDING
BADLY WRECKED.

Leeds, N. D., May 15-The pool
room and restaurant at Leeds

Mr.. Nelson, the proprietor Of
the restaurant, had just gone to
the basement to make an investi-
CATION when the explosion came.
When the explosion came large
hole was blown in the floor of the
restaurant and pool room, the
joists we're raised about three feet
in the rear of the buildsng and
both walls were bulged out while
the walls in the rear room we're
blown from the building. The
entire front of the building was
also blown away and pieces of
glass scattered to the further side
of the street. Pool tables and
other furniture were hurled to the
sides of the building and complete
~ wrecked.
The pool tables were torn into
pieces, hardly a foot square being
left. Charles Dunn was found ly-
ing with his feet hanging in the
hole made by the explosion. He
was unconscious and was taken to
drug store, where he was given
medical attention at once. The
bone protruded through the flesh
of the broken leg.
Fire followed the explosion but
it was put out by the depart
ment before it gained great head
way.
The loss on the building and
fixtures is $500. Mr.. Nelson
carried only $500 insurance. The
Modern Woodmen of America
carried insurance of $500 on their
,paraphernalia in the second story
and this amount will cover their
loss.

HrMoR OF AMERICAN FARMERS

Apparently Roosevelt's commission
to inquire into the joys and sorrows
of country life is travelling rough
road. Some of the farmers and agri-
cultural papers do not appear to ap-
preciate that list of questions hung
out for them TO answer. They resent
the idea as n suggestion that they
have to be looked after, like the
blind, lame and the lazy"
To question twelve. asking If the
farmers and their wives get together
with their neighbors for entertain
ment and social intercourse as much
as they might do" one old farmer
facetiously remarked:
I'VE get together too often; we
are hetter apart: we lie about eacl
other too much"
Another query elected the reply
why don't you make inquiries in
your own home? What do you and
your wife do? How about your. own
family? Don't you think you could
do something better than stand
around and ask questions that seem
trifle impertinent?"
The final conclusion of the old
farmer was that there was not mucn
that could be added for the better
ment of life on the farm, which, ac-
cording TO him, was an endless round
of joy when strangers did not butt
in" He states that "all we need is
more than we have got. We are born
healthy, live frugally, marry the best
we can, divorce seldom, obey the
law 1--WE don't need much law in the
country vote as we've q mind to
most of the time are long on common
sense. and don't ask impertinent
questions of strangers" affairs
