dooed Sept. 23-only to be resurreetsa

versatile and genial McGahan stands
politically nobody ever did but We are
suro he will make a winner out of the

Langdon merchants we're victimized
by a Frenchman living near town named
Cyrille Courtoise who skipped across
the line with mortgaged property con
slsting of oxen, COWS and ponies. He
disposed of them and was found in
Wisconsin. His Langdon creditors in.
cluded the Cavalier County Bank, Col.
Orion and several others.
Postmaster John McGauvran was on

from Cavalier county to North Dakota's

Seasoned Age of the Aeroplane.

Seasoned Age of the AeropIane.
During the week of aerial contests
at Rheims orders We're placed with
the manufacturers for fifty mono-
planes of the type with which Bleriot
flew from France to England. The
cost of the lot will be 100000. a large
sum to invest in a mere toy, assuming
the aeroplane to be only a toy to
amuse sports and a few daring scien-
fists. But the aeroplane is not a toy.
1t dates back nearly a quarter of a
century and has been developed along
scientific lines. What is astonishing
the world now is no mere accident,
destined to disclose a fatal weakness.
Men have died in attempting to prove
that the true principle of aerial flight
was in the possession of man.
AS long ago as 1886 Professor Sam
uel f. Langley of the Smithsonian in
stitution introduced planes and a motor
in a machine which flew three-quar-
tiers of q mile. This was Il really sci
entific experiment. and although it did
not solve the problem it laid the foun-
dations for scientific advance. Later
a German eXperimenter was killeL
after flying 800 feet at an elevation q.
twenty-five feet With a continuance of
planes worked by his own power. 1t
is now fifteen years since Hiram s..
Maxim, a level headed inventor, DEM
onstrated that a heavier than air ma
chine driven by a motor and balanced
by planes can rise in the air. What
Langley and Maxim proved has served
as capital for later experimenters. The
planes are to air craft what wheels
are to wagon and car. Types will be
varied and motors improved and
adapted to special needs.

Have We Trees to Burn?

~ .>So w
The national forest bureau lost no
time in trying to c%ounteract recent
assertions that this country is in ITO
danger of a timber famine. A bulle-
tin issued from the office of forest

An equilibrium between timber pro

established through many years o
vigorous effort by individual fores
owners, by the states and by the ma

The North Dakota farmer pays $40 or
approximately 10 bushels of wheat for a
ton of anthracite or hard coal. The
coal costs f. o. b.. at the mines, according
to the most accurate authorities, S1.2O
per ton. The miner over in Pennsylvania
gives one ton of coal for a bushel OF
wheat, and the North Dakota farmer
gives enough wheat for a ton of coal to
buy 10 tons owe in Pennsylvania
Query: Who gets the other ten tons OF
coal, or, vice versa, who gets the other
ten bushels of wheat?
