Water Maps Next

Last summer government experts spent
several months in all parts of North Da-
kota. making a soil map. showing all
the soil conditions of the state in de-
tail. This map. which will be in colors.
will soon be ready for distribution.
Plans are now being made for securing
a water map of the state the coming
summer. under the direction of Prof. D.
F. Willard of the agricultural college.
This is expected to be very beneficial
both to people already here and to new
corners. The map will show exactly
where, at what depth and what kind OF
water can be secured. It will be in
colors.
There are four principal sources Of
water supply in this state. ,artesian
wells. bored wells not included in the
artesian basin, bored tubular wells Of
100 feet in depth and So to zoo feet
from where water can be secared by
pumping and water which can be
obtained from any kind of shallow ex-
cavation. ~ &A n:
These different regions will bey shown
in colors and all available springs will
also be marked. Prof. Willard will
be assisted by four students for the
summer.

A COMMON COLD

We claim that If catching cold could
be avoided some Of the most dangerous
and fatal diseases would never be heard
of. A cold often forms a culture bed
for germs of infectious diseases. Con-
sumption, pneumon ia, d%iphtheria, scar
let fever, four of the most dangerous
aud fatal diseases are of this class. The
culture bed formed by the cold favors
the development of the germs Of these
diseases, that would not otherwise find
Judgement. There is little danger, how
ever, of any Of these diseases being
contracted when a good expectorant cough
medicine like Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is used. 1t cleans out these
culture beds that favor the developm en-
of the; germs Of these diseases. That list
why this remedy has proved so univer :
sally u cessful in preventing pneu-
monia. It not only cures your cold
quickly, but minimizes the risk Of con-
tracing these dangerous diseases. For
sale by all druggists.

RANCH AND FARM.

Charles Krug has been appointed by
Governor Norris of Montana as the Daw-
son county member of the Montana board
of stock commissioners and William
Linsay of Glendive as a member of the
board of sheep commissioners.
A good story comes from Carlyle.
Along about last Thanksgiving one of
Harvey Pickering's calves strayed away
and could not be found. 1t was given
up as lost but last week Mr.. Pickering
received a letter from a lady in South
Dakota stating that a stray calf was in
her herd which she believed to be his
and investigation proved such to be the
case. The calf was not branded.
The South Dakota herd law failed to
be passed. 1t wat killed in the senate
last week. This is good news to the
cattle men who were strongly opposed
to the measure. It wal instigated by
new settlers who have come in of late
years with the intention of converting
the district into a strictly agricultural
region. They sought to force the cattle
men to herd their. stock thus allowing the
settlers to raise their crops without the
expense of fencing. The stockmen con-
tended that most Of the territory west Of
tie river was more valuable for cattle
raising than for agricultural purposes
and that the farmers should fence their
ranches giving the cattle the benefit Of
the ranges.

W. B. MITCHELL BUYS
 THE OLD STROUD PLACE
The Deal Was Made Through the Elliot Evans Office-More About Chester Place.

w. B. Twitchell, the well known mining man, has just made another investment in Phoenix property. Dur ing the week he purchased the house at 615 North Center street, formerly the Stroud residence, from Mrs. F. F. Conway and will make it his home. He will take possession during the week t""
 The house was listed for s7,Oo0 and it is presumed that that is about the price paid by MT. Twitchell, though it may have been shaded slightly. It is a delightful home. with many large rooms in it and fire place In each room. The place has a 100 foot frontage on Center street. 1oi
 Mrs Conway sold her home as she expects to return to her former place of residence in Virginia. MT. Twit- chell is largely interested in the Ray Kelvin mining properties and until the recent purchase of the company by the Lewisohn brothers, he was the superintendent It was not very long ago that he purchased the north west corner of Washington and Sec ond avenues. The sale of the Cen ter street property was made through the Elliot Evans office.
 With the three lots sold in Chester place last week to Dr. w. s. Lowe very few of these desirable residence and Mrs. Louisa R. Lowe there are sites left. There is but one lot on Fifth avenue and that is the. north east corner. On Sixth and Seventh avenues the lots are being taken up rapidly considering the fact that the tract has been on the market only three months.
 The contract for 2000 feet@qf ce ment walk will be let carly ip the week and when that is 1aids Chsster Place will be one of the beSS1 im-. proved and most desirable for resi- dences, within walking distance of the business section, of any in the city.
