Blue STEM vs.. VELVET CHAFF.
A Government Agent Arranging for
Samples of Wheat that Test Nav
be Made.

The government has taken up
the question of determining by
analysis the relatives values for
-four production of the blue stem
and velvet chaff wheat. On
Wednesday H S. Roberts, Of
the Farmers Elevator, took A.
NJ. Satire, government agent
in the department of the L. S.
grain Standardization into a
mum Der of the harvest fields,
where he made arrangements for
farmers to supply him with
samples of blue stem and velvet
chaff, two bushels of each, grown
in this locality. He has done
the same thing in other parts of
the state. and there will be sep
arate tests made, so that the
analysis of the two wheats will
be made from grain grown IN
the same locality and under
similar conditions.
This analysis by the govern
ment will settle the contention
between the farmers and the mill
er as to the real value of the
velvet chatf as a -four producer.
The wheat will be sent to the Z.
S. agricultural college at Fargo.
where it will be ground INTO
-four and made into bread and
practical demonstration given
OF the two products in the
finished state.

Bank Burglary.
Robbers Make Night Raid on the

Last Saturday night during
the thunder storm cracksmen
made an attempt to get at the
funds of the state bank of

got to work just before midnight
and some three explosions we're

berg saw the robbers as they
boarded the hand car for the
east, and secured his shot gun
but did not have ammunition, and
when he had secured two shells
from a neighbor found a brok.
en- shell lodged in the gun. The
cracksmen escaped without any
trouble. going near to Revillo on
a hand.car, where the car was
found next day.
The robbers did not succeed
in getting at the cash in the safe,
as they were unable to blow it
open. However they succeeded
in getting into the vault, blowing
off the doors and nearly the
whole front of the building, and
breaking all the the glass in the
bank. The safe was one of the
chilled steel burglar proof kind
and the burglar S were unable to
make any impression upon it
in the time they had to work.
The cracksmen seem to have
made good their escape.
This is the second attempt at
bank burglary in Strandburg
during the past two years.
Mr.. Forsberg met with an
accident that might haye proved
very serious or fatal. but which
fortunately did not. After com
ing down to the bank and
surveying the danger he at
tempted to drive back in place
an iron plate that was on the
vault door, and while using
sledge upon it an explosion took
place, the robbers having left
an unexploded charge in the iron.
Mr.. Forsberg felt an iron bolt
whiz by his head, and was burn
ed about the face and hands but
happily escaped more serious
injury.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Main Street Should be Supplied With
Park Posts for Beauty and Safety.

al Osts IOI Dtdut! anu safety
H. j. Miller the man who is to
have charge of the construction
work for the electric light plant
for the city was in town last
week endeavoring to get a site
for the power house. AS this
must be adjacent to the railroad
for the convenience of side track.
ing, but two available locations
were found, where convenient
sidetracks could be had - one
on the east side of Main street
and one on the west side and
within short distance Of that t
street.
Orders have been given for
the shipment of poles, wire and
construction material, and these
will arrive as soon as the location
of the power house is definitely
settled E. D. Moore of the tele-
phone company will have charge
of the poles upon their arrival
here, and N. Pott will store the
wire in his warehouse until it is
put to use
A proposition or suggestion
has been made that instead of
unsightly and dangerous over
hanging wires that iron posts be
uSed on Main street.
The substitution of these iron,
or park posts as they are called,
would add greatly to the ap-
pearanoe of the street, and
make it a thing of beauty IN
comparison to the other plan
The additional expense would
not be over $500, and if the
beautifying of the town or street
is taken into consideration this
would be the best paying invest
ment the city ever made. The
electric company has agreed to
put in and run five additional
lamps if these park posts are
secured. Besides the matter of
beautifying the town, these
posts give absolute immunity
from the danger of the live wire,
always a menace from over
hanging wires. We believe our
citizens should see that this
matter is investigated, and eth
er by public subscription or
through the city funds this plan
to permanently beautify the
town be carried out. Neglected
now, it will be a constant source
of regret in future years.
