JOHNSON OUT
FOR THE COUNT
Chicago irisI,man Knocks Out the Black
Champion of the World With Single
Punch and Then Takes to the Tall
Timber When Informed Who
His Victim Was.

A Chicago special of the 9Th inst. to
the Minneapolis Tribune says: Every
body takes running jump on Jack
Johnson, except in the prize ring. Con-
stables, policemen and trainers take a
crack at the colored champion, the lat
est being burly Irish contractor of
this city named Tom Carney, who sent
''Li'l Artha" to dreamland with one
punch and made his. getaway, travelling
on four cylinders, when he learned the
identity Of his victim.
The fight took place late Friday
night, but just became known last
night. johnson and some friends were
engaged in conversation in saloon
when the Irishman entered. johnson
took umbrage at some remarks by
Carney, and the latter. unloaded a
string of epithets that made Johnson
blind with rage. Friends tried to hold
him back. but he started for Carney.
The latter stood his ground and as
Johnson came in, Carney delivered a
beautiful swinging uppercut and John
son went out.
His friends carried him to a dark
room and with amonia and vigorous
rubbing brought him to. Meanwhile,
Carney, who had heard the name of his
opponent, put all the distance he could
between himself and the saloon where
johnson was being revived.

Offers Big Purse.

New York, Nov. ga telegram from
F. S. Williams, Of Bellingham, WASH,
states that he will offer SIPS, 900 for the
Jeffries-Johnson fight if it is given to
his town. Sam Berger, manager of
Jeffries, says that he does not know
Williams, but that his bid will have an
equal chance with all others providing
he deposits $1,000 with the official pro-
posal. With three"offe from Califor-
MIA promoters, two bids from Washing
ton and one from Oklahoma, it is con-
sidered certain that record-breaking
purse will be offered for the big fight.
Nevada has not been heard from yet
and there are other interests figuring
on the big event, so that when the bids
are formally submitted December l, a
number of surprises may be expected.

THE SEED LIENS
ARE BEING PAID.
County Auditor Larson Busy Collecting
Contracts Made With farmers
Nearly $4,000 Has Been
Collected Within a
Few Days.
(Minot Reporter. Nov. 81

\mlIloC ncpOrLer, NOV. ~
County Auditor Larson has been ex-
ceedingly busy during the past few
days in collecting the seed contracts
that were made with large number of
the farmers of Ward county last spring
and up to the present time has collect
ed nearly $4,000, and while the total
will aggregate large amount it is the
belief of the county officials that there
will be no difficulty in collecting all the
money that was used for that purpose
by the county.
Auditor Larson is making trip of
the county in an automobile and in this
manner is able to visit large number
of places daily.
1.-THE seed contract money is being
paid without a question by all who
benefited by the law and we expect to
have the entire amount collected within
a few days. The contract given at the
time that the seed was furnished acts
as lien on the grain and must be paid
before the farmers receiving the benefit
can dispose of their crops.
''During my trip around the county
find that nearly all of the farmers are
holding their wheat for an advance in
price and that all are more or less in
terested in the condition of the local
and eastern markets. We expect to
finish our work in this line within few
few days" "

SHAW SOUNDS #
TIMELY WARNING
Prof. Thomas Shaw, in Recent Talk at
! Winnipeg, Issues Timely Warning
that Should be Needed by Farm
j ers Throughout the Entire
Northwest.

I'm two decades" said Professor
Shaw, ''the corn belt of the United
States ard the wheat belt of Canada
will be depleted for want of fertilizers"
He estimates that the wheat crop of
last year took out of the land of west
ern Canada, never to return, value of
fifty million dollars. In Canada this
depletion has just begun. On our side
of the line this has been going on
steadily for the last forty years.
The wheat belt has moved north and
west. Southern Minnesota which once
raised great crops of the cereal, now
gives attention to other crops and
stock raising. The farmers of the
southern END of the state are learning
the lesson of giving the land rest and
Erecuperation. No longer do they strive
to make the same land yield solid grain
year after year, without replacing
some Of the elements that have been
taken out. Yet the gospel spreads but
slowly. ,
!: The warning given by Pr ofessor
Shaw has been writ large in the crop
statistics, showing the steady diminu-
ftion year by year, of the yield of wheat
per acre. In the old days when the
pioneers first broke the rich. prairie
with their plow, the yield per acre was.
Enormous: What has raade it. diminish
from year to year.? Land depletion and
nothing else.: Nature showers her
gifts upon man bounteously, but they
are not inexhaustible. Scientific farm
ing issa vital necessity. The farmer

About 2 o'clock last Saturday morn
ing the Winter & Ames elevator at
Niobe took fire, supposed to have had
it's origin in hot box, and the flames
gathered headway so rapidly after dis
covery that nothing could be done to
save either the building or any portion
Of its contents. The fire is, supposed to
have broken out some time between l
and 2. o'clock, but it was first seen
from this distance at2 a. m. The house
is reported as having contained 5000
bushels OF wheat and 1900 bushels of
flax, all of which was destroyed, so far
as we have been able to learn. It is
said that both house and grain were
fully insured. E.s

While the five speed runs were being
recorded the North Dakota was also
undergoing a two-hour test for con-
sumption of oil and coal. The Delaware
and North Dakota are the first battle
ships built for the United States Navy
to use the oil spraying method. The
showing is understood to be satisfactory.

River Shipbuilding Company, builders
Of the North Dakota, naturally express

worked and with the great amount Of

= In this connection, it is, perhaps, in
teresting to note that the Delaware,
which was built by the Newport News

reciprocating engines. The North Dako-

formance. r..
Within six months, it is expected, the

With the Minneapolis party at the

Douglass of Minneapolis, and w. B.
Jordan of St. Paul. Mr.. Douglass is q
grain dealer now and Mr.. Jordan a
merchant. Both were pioneers in this
western country with the building Of
the Northern Pacific, and bring forcibly
to mind the marvellous transformation
since 1880. o., .s,,
"At Sulphur Springs, said Mr..
Douglas, II saw in those days 16, 900
buffalo hides sent out in q single ship
ment to a St. Paul firm which is still in
existence, and very strong in the hat
and fur business"
t'And about the same time" added
Mr. Jordan, II came down the Mis-
souri, on steamer with cargo Of 3d. :
600 hides, and once we were compelled
to stop because the buffalo were ford
ing the river and the steamer couldn' t
get through the herds. - .-.$

lass. SIN Glendive in those days I have
frequently seen the prairie over on the
north side so black with buffalo that
not spear of green grass was visible. = :
''Did you go and hunt them. =
''No," he replied with D smile, there

it wasn't particularly healthful for q

the uttermost from the fertility of the
land, must give place to the. scientific
farmer, who guards and builds up it's
fertility from year to year.
The greatest asset the French farmer
possesses is his soil. He tends it zeal
ously and when he moves from one
rented farm to another, he loads his top
soil on wagons and takes it with him.
This is an example of intensive farming
little likely to be followed in America,
but it illustrates the necessity OF con-
servation in farming as in other things.

Tho North Dakota the Fastest and, Most
Powerful Battleship Afloat American

Il VI Type of United States or |.
NJ Great Britain. n II d H y

Rockland, Me, November At h e
North Dakota is the fastest battleship
Of the Dreadnaught type afloat as well
as one of the two most powerful battle-
ships in the world. Her screw stand
ardization course today developed a
maximum speed test over the Rock
land measured mile of 2.25 knots, and
an average of 21.833. Both marks are
in excess Of the best performances Of
either her sister ship, the Delaware, or
the Bellerophon, the leading Dread
naught of the British Navy. 81
In attaining this surprising speed the
turbine engines of the North Dakota
were forced to the development 0
more horsepower than has been reach
ed by any battleship afoat. "A maxi
mum number Of revolutions of her nick
el composition propellers' was 286 a
minute. Itwas found that 263 revolul
tions in this time was sufficient to main
tain the contract speed of 81 knots.

The North Dakota. by her perform
ance today, takes precedence as a gen
eral first-class battleship over any other
afloat. Her sister ship, the Delaware,
which was given her trials over the
same course on October %, was in un-
certain possession Of this honor by her
trial performances, but the figures re-.
corded for the North Dakota today sur
pass those Of any other Dreadnaught.
There is but one such battleship afoat
at the present time whose attainments
may exceed those of the North Dakota.
This is the Neptune, just launched for
the British navy. The Neptune, how
ever, will have to attain. to figures
much in excess Of specifications to ac-
complish this. The Bellerophon, of the
