suits. Then as the quantity of the
sand was small, it was tried on a
casting three inches thick by put
ting the sample next to the pat
tern, and backing it up with sand
in use at the foundry. The results
were good, the surface where the
sample was placed being smoother
than where the local sand was used
and it did not burn into the iron.
On some light work test was
made with the sand quite wet, to
see if it was porous enough to let
the gas escape freely, and it gave
good results.
Mr.. Holt states that he would
recommend it as first class mould
ing sand for light and medium work
or for brass and bronze, and it may
be alright for heavy work also,
which can be found out by making
a further test.
Following is result of the analy-
sis. No. 1 is the yellow and No. 2

TRAIN
IN THE WORLD

Officials assert that the Great
Northern fast mail is the fastest
long-distance train in operation in
the world at present, and the
record of the past forty days is re-
garded as remarkable. It is point
ed out that the schedule maintained
by the Great Northern via St. Paul
is three hours shorter than that
maintained by the Hartman lines
from Omaha to San Francisco,
the distance being comparatively
the same.
St. Paul is now the gateway for
most of the mail for Western states,
Alaska and Oriental ports. There
is now brought this way all the
mail that originates in the states
east OF the Mississippi river and
north Of the Ohio river. Much
of the mail from this territory used
to be sent by way of Omaha, but
was diverted this way when the
Great Northern established it's sup
erior service.
The government will weigh the
mails in this district for three
months, beginning in February,
to ascertain the basis for payment
for mail transportation for the next
four wears. 1t is to get this con-
tract that the Great Northern is
maintaining it's forty -eight-hour
service.

STUMP ORDINANCE IS
PASSED BY COUNCIL

The stump ordinance was finally
approved and passed by the city
council at a special meeting held
for that purpose Friday evening.
This finally winds up the matter
that was started last May and has
been laid over SO many times on
account of not being able to get
action on it.
The ordinance, which is one of
the longest ever drawn up here, con-
sisting of seventeen pages, has been
posted in three conspicuous places
about town SO that each property
owner can see how much he has
been assessed for pulling out the
stumps.
The ordinance is known as or
dinance No. 81 and provides for
the removal of all stumps from the
streets and alleys of the town, and
gives the estimate for each individ-
ual lot as assessed by the estimator.
This assessment is divided into
three parts, one part to be paid in
taxes this year and the rest in the
two years following with 6 per cent
interest. The total cost of remov-

and passed thru the muscles of his
arm making a clean hole about the
size of lead pencil. Had the
bullet passed an inch either wav
it would have made him a
cripple for life or caused his death.
The bullets generally used in hunt
ing are the soft nose variety with
steel jacket, that flares out when
it strikes an obstruction like bone.
If it had struck the bone in his arm
it would have cut it off and if it
had struck the bones in his BODY
the chances are he would never
have lived to tell the tale, 50 he is
congratulating himself on having
escaped SO luckily.
After collecting his wits he start
ed for home on the railroad track
and was lucky to find w. R. Dunn
aid Christ Haugen just landing in
Beaver bay with launch. who took
him to Whitefsh.
When he got home and got
warmed up and had his wounds
dressed he felt real comfortable and
expects to be as good as new in a
short time.
This is the first accident that has
happened in the valley this season.
Most everyone hunting in these
parts are experienced hunters and
are very careful, but once in while
someone will get out that will bang
away at anything they see.
The shooting would be more
excusable if it was not for the
fact that Kinney wore a red shirt.

ing the stumps as shown on the
ordinance is $4562.75.
B. F. Cheevers, the city pump
man, reported that his supply of
gasoline was getting low, so the
clerk was instructed to write for
quotations on gasoline for running
the city pumping station.
The matter Of keeping the eros
sings cleaned of mud was discussed
and the marshal was instructed to
see that this was done. It was
suggested that he use men for this
purpose who are arrested for
vagrancy.
1t has come to the notice of the
council that there are several strong,
able bodied men in town who make
it a practice of spending most of
their time about the saloons, leav-
ing their families in a destitute
condition. The police were noti-
fled to make an investigation into
these cases and if these parties
did not mend their ways in a very
short time severe action would be
taken against them.

MONEY IS
MISSING

G. Bailey, a colored gentleman
who was about the town all last
week doing odd jobs of porter work
at the different saloons and hotels,
was arrested Friday evening
charged with entering the room of
Mrs. Frances Pencake at the Cad
lilac hotel and stealing 500 there
from.
Bailey had been employed about
the hotel that day and was stopping
there for the night. The next day
Mrs. Pencake said she missed $40,
which she had in a trunk with $40
more. On hearing this travelling
man stopping there told that he
had gone into her room by mistake
and saw Bailey in there, and a war
rant was then sworn out against
Bailey.
He was given a hearing Saturday
afternoon in Justice Reeds court.
Several witnesses, who were about
the hotel and had heard the tray
cling man make this assertion, were
called to testify, but there was no
direct testimony, as the travelling
man had left town, so Bailey could
not be convicted on the charge of
stealing the money, but it seemed
evident that he had unlawfully en-
tered the room and was sentenced
to serve 20 days in the county jail.

B. J. KINNEY IS SHOT
WHILE HUNTING DEER

Bert Kinney, the local photo
grapher, was shot Sunday afternoon
while hunting for deer in the
mountains near Beaver bay by
some unknown person, but his in
juries are not serious and unless
complications set in he will be well
in short time.
The accident happened about 4
O'Clock in the afternoon while he
was stalking deer. He had been
hunting all day without success and
was just returning home, coming
down the mountain towards the
railroad track near Beaver bay when
he jumped a deer and followed it.
He had not noticed anyone else
hunting in that vicinity and didn't
suppose there was anyone near, but
before he had gone very far the re-
port of a a rifle rang out in the
brush up above him. He felt a
twinge of pain in his arm and side,
saw fragments of his clothing fly
and then realized that he had been
shot.
In order to alarm the person who
did the shooting SO that he would
not shoot again, Kinney discharged
his gun several times and cried out
for help, but whoever did the
shooting must have been close
enough to hear and being afraid
that he had committed a serious
crime disappeared and probably
never will be found out.
He had been shot from behind,
the bullet having grazed his left
side ripping a cash six inches long

A discovery has been made a
short distance from town that may
develop a very thriving and re-
munerative industry.
E. l.. Geddes, who owns a tract
OF land just west of town, discov-
cred in an accidental way that there
are great deposits of silica on it,
which in other words is moulding
sand, which is in great demand by
all foundries. There is an unlimit-
ed amount of it there from appear
ances, and it is of a very good
quality. He has already been
asked to furnish it to Spokane
foundry who will pay sS per ton
for it.
A box of sand was sent to Spo-
kane to Geo. M. Holt, M. E., of
the. Falls City Machinery and Sup
ply Co., where it was analyzed and
a thorough foundry test was made
of it and Mr.. Geddes has received
most satisfactory report.
Two samples of sand were sent,
red and yellow. The report states
that the red sand carries larger
per cent of alumni (clay) than the
yellow, and should be best for light
work. A mixture of thetwo should
be better for all around work than
either one alone and will be excel
lent for brass and bronze moulding.
The amount of iron and lime
contained is not enough to be detri-
mental and the sand leaves a nice
smooth surface on the castings.
In the foundry test it was tried
on small work first with good re-

than the original building is now
ready for the inside finishing. Capt.
Eaton was sub-contractor for the
brick work, and has been highly
complimented for the excellence of
the bricklaying, the uniformity of
color and the perfect joints. White
fish brick was used particularly on
account OF the color, which matches
well the old part of the build

GREETED BY A
LARGE AUDIENCE

The Rt- Rev. John P. Carroll,
bishop of the diocese of Helena,
visited Whitefsh Sunday to admin
lister the sacrament of confirmation
and preached very impressive
sermon.
The church was filled to the doors
with Catholics and Catholics to
hear this distinguished speaker and
everyone who heard him expressed
themself as being we'll pleased and
benefited by his lecture.
Bishop Carroll stated that he was
highly elated over the rapid devel-
opment of this part of his diocese.
He is strong believer in the
growth of the state ultimately into
one of the greatest if not the recog-
nized leader in agriculture in the
union.
He expressed himself as being
well satisfied with the development
of religion in the sections of the
state being settled. Immediately
upon the creation of a city the
different sects, he says, aim to Sc
cure funds for a church in which
to worship.
He is also jealous expounder of
prohibition and made it one of his
strong points to impress upon the
people the evils that arise from in
temperance.

about 81 years of age. The rail-
road has no record of him here, SO
nothing can be found out about his
relatives until a dispatch returns
from the St. Paul offices.
Coroner J. E. Weggener came up
from Kalispell and after looking
into the case thoroughly decided
that no inquest will be necessary.
The body of Cumans was taken to

The Rocky Boy Indians who
have been white elephant on the
hands of government officials for the
past year have at last been disposed

The permanent home of Rocky
Boy and his Chippewas, who have
been encamped near Helena all
summer, waiting for the govern
ment to take some action in their
case, will be on the Blackfeet In
lillian reservation. A tract lying at
the base of the mountains, 20 miles
from Browning, has been selected
and here each Indian will be allot-
led 80 acres of land.
AS all arrangements have been
made for the removal of the tribe,
Allotting Agent Armstrong today
made public their destination. A
special train of II cars has been
ordered, and the tribe will entrain

As a result of a dynamite ex-
.plosion which occurred two miles
east of Nyack at ten O'Clock Tues
.day morning, John Cumans, a
Great Northern lineman, was killed
and A. O. Foss, foreman of the
crew was badly injured.
The two men were sitting about
a fire thawing out dynamite which
they were going to use for blasting.
Cumans was sitting on a block
nearly astraddle of it, when in some
unknown way the full charge of IL
sticks, 70 pound size of per cent,
exploded and he was thrown about
40 feet where he was picked up so
badly injured that he died i'm
mediately.
Both his arms We're blown off
and his body and head badly
lacerated.
Foss, who was not quite SO close
was blown quite aways by the con-
cussion. He received most of his
injuries in his face which is badly
cut and his eyesight may be in
iured.
The two men were brought to
White6sh on the fast mail where
the body of Cumans was placed in
the morgue and Foss is in the hos
pital where he is reported to be
getting along nicely.
Neither of the men are known
here in town, and at present moth
ing has been found out regarding
sny relatives of Cumans. The only
thing that is known about him is
that he was born in Canada and is

Old Timer
Tells Story

4 Ludvig Watne and e. D. Skinner,
two Of Ward county's old residents
met in the Independent once Tues
day, They recalled incidents Of the
early days. Watne says he drove from
Moorhead, Mimi. to Ward county 26
years ago with yoke OF oxen. The
steady old brutes took their ever
lasting time, and it required "A days
to make the trip, about as long as It
takes to go around the world today.
He came by the way Of Bismarck
and when he arrived in Ward county
he found his brother liver. who had
shack up the river, near the present
home Of Senator Wallin.
Mr.. Skinner came to this county %
years ago, and he walked here from
Devils Lake. 1t was long journey,
but then there were others who walk
ed. The railroads had not yet been
built thru this country. The old tim
ers deserve. a good deal Of credit for
the part they took in the settlement
of the great west.

The Pure Seed Bill

The Bolley pure seed bill has pass
ed. This is the bill that we COM
mented upon only short time ago
and which we etated should not pass.
The bill in some ways may be a
good one, and we hope that it will
prove to be first class in every re-
spect Maybe we were mistaken. At
any rate, it has passed, E. D. Skinner
the Sawyer representative, who was
a member of the agricultural COM
mittee, stated that for several days
he pondered over the bill before he
concluded that it would be good
one to pass, and held out for it's pas
sage without amendments. He
stated that with this bill in effect,
seed house dare not send out impure
seed, unless it was Tabled as such.
They may have a right to sell any
kind of seed the farmer will buy
providing it is properly labeled. The
pure seed law is akin to the pure food
law. Prof. Bolley no doubt had the
farmers interests at heart? We
said that we hoped that the bill
would not pass, because we feared
the farmers would get into too much
litigation with each other, in the ex-
change of seeds. They will have to be
careful to sell the seed only as rep
resented. In the Red River Valley
the farmers have had hard time
betting pure grass seed, much foul
weed seed being mixed with the seed.
Mr.. Skinner was member of the Ag-
ricultural and Educational commit
tees, for which he is entirely fitted.
He is a we'll known farmer, having
taken great interest in raising first
class produce, fruits, ETC., on his Saw
yer farm He says that If he is ever
sent back to Bismarck, he will be
satisfied with those two committees.
