Knocked North Dakota

A friend of the Tribune has refer
red to us a copy of newspaper pub
lished at Bedford, Va, and which con-
tains communication from a gentle
man who evidently has some personal
reason for being sore at North Da-
kota or else he may nave piece OF
property in Virginia which he wishes
to dispose of before returning here.
This gentleman, Geo. Rasmussen by
name, tells the mos, discouraging
stories about North Dakota and our
terrible 60 conditions. He warns
Virginians not to leave their state as
they are sure to starve to death be-
side meeting with many other dis
couragements. He claims that the
water in North Dakota is full of al
kali and not fit to drink and that
lperson has tc get good and sick be-
fore becoming accustomed to it. This
poor fellow must certainly have met
with hard luck when he was in this
state, and must have camped out In
the bad lands.
We are of the opinion that his let
tier did not have much weight with
sensible virginians as there are al
ready number of them living in
this state and in this locality. Men
Fwho have made a success Of farming
and other occupations, and are able
Ito visit their old home and pay their
railroad fare both ways and still
have some money left in the bank.
No, we judge Mr.. Rasmussen mus
be a sore-head and that he mus
have some property in that vicinity
which he wishes to dispose Of, ant
lii he is fortunate in doing so. w
are very apt to find him numbered
among North Dakota citizens.-Rug

Gas Well Near Lanstord
Strong Well Struck on the J. D. Bales
Farm Tools Fast in Well, Water May
Have Ruined the Gassr Experts Try
to Save 1t.

While drilling we'll for water
on the J. D. Bales quarter of land
mile north and five miles east of
last week( the drillers en-
countered a powerful trend of gas,
at a depth of 1870 feet. Not knowing
whether the gas would burn or not,
one of the drillers struck a match to
test it. Immediately q fame shot
out of the we'll to the top of the
drill, nearly burning it. Bales ran
and got a pail of water, which he
threw into the we'll, causing an ex-
plosion that could be heard for miles.
The explosion put out the fame. The
next thing to do, was 10 devise some
way to shut off the gas. o. s. john
son, of the Great Northern Gas Co.
was sent for, and he told Mr.. Bales
that the we'll had not been properly
cased, but that he was certain that
he could fix the we'll SO that there
would be perfectly dry hole, If he
was allowed to go ahead with it, with
his own men and tools. Bales tried
to make terms with Mr.. Johnson,
Offering him a price per day for the
work, but Mr.. Johnson declined the
offer. Mr.. johnson did offer however,
to buy the interests of the gentleman.
and develop the we'll. They could not
agree to terms. Bates wanting john
agree to terms, Bates wanting john
son to fix the we'll, pipe the gas to
Lansford, at cost of about $4,000
and give him half the proceeds. john
son left, but was called back later.
He says when he arrived, the water
had started to come up around the
casing, and he told Bates his well
was ruined. Bates did not believe
him. However, he induced Johnson
to make an effort to get the tools and
casing out of the we'll, but they had
been stuck fast by the terrible i'm
pact from below, and the men poslt'
lively refused to work about the hole.
There the matter rests. The gas
keeps coming from the we'll, and has
worked out a cavity three and halt
feet wide and eight feet deep. Sand,
water and mud has been forced up
from below and had covered the cas-
ing.
Mr. Bates has sent couple of his
neighbors to the twin cities and is
trying to get an expert to come out in
hopes of saving the we'll, but there is
little likelihod that this can be done.
Bates is arranging to form stock
company for the development of the
gas field.

PUBLIC PRINTING IS
GROWING In
COST
IRv Associated Press. 1


Washington. Feb. 19.-Constant
and uninterrupted growth of the cost
of public printing has increased this
item of public expense from $500,
600 in $40 to more than $4,000
in 1905 according TO the report of
the printing investigation commission
created four years ago which sub
mitted today to congress a report
covering its extensive inquiry. The
commission consists of the two COM
mittees on printing of the two houses
of congress, and Senator Platt is its
chairman.
Savings of more than a half mil
lion dollars a year are being effected,
according to the report, as the result
of legislation recommended from
time to time, giving the joint commit
tee on printing certain powers of sup
ervision. 1t states that under recent
legislation 279, 9,59S.S37 printed
pages. including such expensive pub
lications as the congressional record,
the publications of the geological
survey and the year book of the de-
partment of agriculture were elm
mated from the surplus printing
which had formerly been piling up in
warehouses to be finally condemned
and sold as waste.

sash ends which will change the ef-
feet of the oldest skirt.
a new idea which will be used to
good effect on passe gowns is the
stole front or tablier. This new ac-
cessory looks much like back and
front panel which passes over the
shoulders and is fitted to the figure
Sometimes the back is a little short
er than the front. With a tablier,
and the side girdle, an old gown may
be made quite presentable.
A tunic drapery contributes an ad-
ditional note of grace to the stylish
sheath or even moderately full
skirt if close-fitting about the hips.
A pretty idea that partakes much
of the old directoire styles of the
past is the slashed skirt with the un-
derskirt particularly planned for the
same, which gives the effect of pan
els and will add height to it's wear
er. The outside panels are often
outlined with buttons or laced across
the under portion, or a few ruffles of
chiffon are laid between. The waist
should be trimmed to match the
skirt
The bordered materials are gener-
al favorites because of their econo-
my in the dress trimmings.
The coat of ottoman silk will be
frequently seen this coming season
and it is said that it will vie with
the one made of pongee, though to
my mind they should serve different
purposes, as the ottoman silks are
and can be made far more dressy than
the pongees, even when left without
trimming.
The skirts with high waistline and
narrow cores at the top. which en-
phasize slenderness of figure more
successfully attain this effect with
the habit back.

WHAT WOMEN ARE TO
WEAR THIS SPRING

I etfes called Japanese viii be much
worn this coming season and their
popularity as a waist fabric has been
extended to use for whole dresses.
Some beautiful grey tones are shown
in the Japanese crepes and two quail
ties known as Kanoka and Chijami
are very beautiful made with heavy
laces.
The new batistes are wonderfully
beautiful and display handsome solid
color hens of bordered goods and as
part of the overblouse.
Skirtings that come in 32-inch
width and shown in fancy. white and
colored designs are being used by the
shirtwaist makers in modes suitable
to the early spring waists to be used
with the new tailored waists. The
present demand for the plain tailored
waist and the models provided makes
this material a most appropriate ma
terial with which to gain the correct
effect.
The cotton Oxfords, canvas and
cheviot weaves will be largely used
for tailored suits, morning dresses
and for sports.
The one-piece dress of linen of ev-
cry shade and weave and weight will
be seen this summer; but the cooler
and open weaves, such as crashes,
um colors and finished with white
linen accessories.
The cotton poplins and repps prom
Use to be as popular as ever for sep
arate skirts. coat and skirt suits as
we'll as for the heavy one-piece
gowns. The highly mercerized vari-
ETY. is used for rather dressy gowns
because of it's likeness to the silky
qualities and costume in black and
white or black and gray is decided
ly effective costume for the early
spring.
In colors the season brings in a
combination of those already known:
smoke, a brownish gray; taupe,
cooler gray than smoke; new shade
of plum having a blue tinge. and, we
believe. called "prunella" in some
places: wistaria. new blue. tan,
brown. forest and apple green. rose
petal pink. and a combination OF
black and white or white and black
are greatly in evidence.
The tendency, as in the winter, is
to use various shades of the same
color in the one costume rather than
two contrasting shades. These new
colors have all the effect of being
veiled-'' 'subdued' they call it, or
lash busted" A prominent color
yelled with lace or net is a faddish
idea now in use.
For economical women, who dis
like the idea of throwing away fair
" good last years frock, but yet
must make some effort towards the
up-and-down effect of the present
modes, nothing comes in quite as
handy as the new girdle to simulate
the one-piece idea and the high waist
line. With a little altering of the
sleeves and skirt the girdle Will
change the whole dress. There are
the sheath girdles that make the
skirt and waist appear as one; there
are girdles that. used with an old
princess. give the high waist line,
and there are others that have long
