BOOZE FOR FERTILIZER
Dry Ones at Linton Almost Have
Heart Failure When Sheriff
Spills Liquid.

Hazelton Republican: There were
agonizing sighs and some weeping on
the part Of tbs dry ones at the court
house in Linton Tuesday when they
saw Sheriff Jones, under the stern
command of the law, deliberately break
bottles and barrels, and allow their
contents to pour into the ground.
Tt seems that a drink emporium
at one of the towns south of Linton
had been raided by officers of the
law recently, at which time a barrel
OF whisky and several barrels Of beer
were seized and taken to the court
house. AS 1t customary in such cases,
1t had to be destroyed, hence the
agony, for 1t is said that lovers of the
cup that cheers, inebriates and does
other funny stunts, have been 1epriv-
ed for a long time of participation in
a dringfest, and to see the sparkling
fluid thus wasted brought tears to
their eyes, and twitchings to their
palates.
There were those who would gladly
have carried water by the hatfuls from
Beaver creek up Courthouse hill for all
moistening purposes so far as the
earth was concerned, but the law is
firm and allows no substitutes, so the
Booze" had to go.
. We doubt If there was ever time
in the history of Zmmons county when
the sale of liquor was more thoroughly
restricted that at present.

PRAIRIE FIRES ARE
WORKING HAVOC
IMMENSE LOSSES SUSTAINED IN
SEVERAL DISTRICTS THROUGH
OUT THE STATE.

Minot, N. D., Nov. 9.--Prairie fires
are working great havoc in several Sec
tons of the state despite the most
strenuous efforts that have been put
forth everywhere TO prevent such con-
flagration. Stringent state laws on the
subject, together with constant vigil
ance upon the part OF officials, has
so far failed to put an end to the prai-
rie fires which occur in various Sec
tons Of the western part OF the state
with startling regularity.
Mountrail county has Just suffered
from two such flres. The first of
these did great deal OF damage to
a section north Of Palermo, burning
a number of buildings together with
immense quantities Of hay and grain,
The other fire was In what Is known
as the reservation strip" where the
loss amounts well UP in the thousands
OF dollars.
Several such fires have occurred in
the neighborhood OF Dickinson dur
ing the past few days. One OF them
started near Ives, In the bad lands,
burning southwest along the rail-
road right OF way. 1t was famed by
heavy wind. Another fire started
on the Colander farm southwest of
Dickinson and burned over large
territory.
Near Balfour the most destructive
fire that has occurred in twenty years
did immense damage. 1t started
about twenty miles southwest of Bal
four and with high wind it rapidly

and other buildings. Many farmers

ernoon by friends who went up to see
why he had failed to put In an APP
pearance. surmising that something
was wrong with him.
He was found lying face down on the
floor, and from the condition Of the
body, it is supposed that some time
during the still hours of Saturday
night with no one near to care for
him or render assistance, death came
suddenly. When found, the position in
which he was lying indicated that
while seated on the edge OF the bed he
was stricken with fatal stroke of
some kind and fell forward on his face
to the floor dead. He was sufferer
from asthma, and of late had been af-
f1icted with the disease quite badly.

.BALFOUR MAN WAS
SHOT IN The EYE
SAD ACCIDENT HAPPENS AT BAL
FOUR DURING A CHICKEN
HUNT-EYE WAS RE-
MOVED.

Balfour, N. D., Nov. 9.--Last week
Frank England was shot in his eye
and 1t was necessary to remove the
organ. The other eye was injured by
lime several years ago, though he could
see well enough with it to recognize
people.
There are times in this world when
sad accidents happen and no one is
to blame. 1t was so in this case. Mr..
England, son Alton and z. w. Mein-
hardt went out hunting. Alton got
out of the buggy to shoot a chicken.
He supposed his father remained be-
hind. but instead Mr.. England drove
up to where Alton intended to shoot
and received a portion of the charge
in his face. A number Of the shot
pierced the eye ball and some lodged
in the jaw, making the doctor fear a.
bad case of tetanus. He has been in
a semi conscious condition since and
the situation is critical at best, though
some hope of his recovery has been
entertained.

Much Fall Flowing Done.

jamestown, N. D., Nov. 9.-The ira
ditional freeze up for North Dakota
arrived on time last night, and this
morning the ground was pretty stiff,

the present, although 1t is possible that
considerable fall blowing will be done
during the month as it usually grows
warmer after the freeze up $50 called"
that occurs between Nov. 7 and 10,

consider blowing done after Nov. Of
little value, and prefer to finish what

amount of fail blowing has been done
this year.

Owing to the Fact that the fire en-

requested such a report.
Last year the secretary of the in
terror warned the superintendent that
escapes were too frequent and would
have to cease. There was no answer.
Acting Secretary Wilson reminded the
superintendent of these facts and let

The commissioners have taken
cOgnizanee of the matter because OF
the menace to the safety of the resi-
dents of the district that lies in the
escape of any such persons.

POLES
FOREST SERVICE INVESTIGATES
PROBLEM OF DEsTRyc-
TON BY BIRDS.

j Considerable damage is being done to
telephone. telegraph and electric light
poles by members Of the woodpecker
family. These birds originally built
their homes In the dead or dying
trunks or limbs of trees. but for some
reason best known to themselves, have
come To the conclusion that the peeled
pole offers better conditions for a
home.
They have become so ravenous of
late that their depredations are at
tracing considerable attention among
those who are compelled to use guam
titles of wooden poles. Their activi-
ties spread over a wide portion of the
United States. notably i'm the south.
southwest and central west Cedar
poles seem to be the ones most fire.
quentiy attacked. The birds bore into
them at any height from the ground.
and the holes which they make are
often two or three inches i'm diameter
and four or five inches deep. Such an
amount of wood drilled from a stick
OF timber which il carrying a load of
wires naturally weakens the strength
of the line
1t would, of course. not he diff
cult matter to exterminate these birds
However, this Is not desirab Bile, as they
are among the most beneficial forms
OF bird life native to this country, be-
cause they destroy large numbers OF
insects which seriously damage forest
and food crops. IL seems. therefore,
that methods should be undertaken to
compel the birds Ia revert to their for
mer habit of boring rather than To ex-
terminate them.
Frequent Inquiries have been made
by he forest service i'm this connection.
but the only information to dat,
which the government has been able
to obtain is that on a casual inspec-
ton of treated and untreated pole
lines in Louisiana. In that region II
was found that poles which had been
impregnated with creosote oil were not
attacked by the birds. whereas I'M
treated poles under the same condi-
tions were very severely injured.
Whether or not creosote will pre-
vent such attack Is not definitely
known. but the service Is investigat-
Ing this problem. and should this oil
prove IA preventative. II will fuIfill a
two-fold purpose: 1t will protect the
roles from decay and destruction
from animal life. In Southern In
diana. some members of traction
company thought that they could pre-
vent further destruction of their poles
by filling the holes In the wood with
stones. The birds. however simply
drilled around the stones and made the
conditions much worse. This appar-
emily does not seem to be a means OF
their depredations.
