talo vanished from the great western
plains, so is the red man gradually
disappearing through the ravages OF
that slow but insidious disease of
tuberculosis.
To save the Indian race from ex-
tinction by this disease and yet lead
1t into the ways of the white man, is
the task which fcials of the bureau
of Indian affairs have undertaken.
Alarmed at the excessive mortality
among the Indians from tuberculosis,
ways and means of effectually COM
batting the disease among them have
been devised. There will be a con-
certed effort on the part of all con-
nected with the Indian service for the
removal Of the causes of the disease,
for education in the measures of pre-
ventlon and for systematizing the care
and segregation of patients afflicted
with the disease
Backed with adequate funds and
with corps of fighting medical ex-
perts, officials of the bureau of In
dian affairs are confident that the In
dian race can be saved. The Indian
becomes restive at the slow progress
of medical science in eradicating dis
ease, but if convinced of ultimately
being cured, he usually yields to
treatment
TO a change from primeval sur
roundings when the Indian roamed at
will through the wilds of the forests
to his present mode of living, more
than to any other cause, may be
ascribed the reason why he so easily
is victim. They live in unsanitary
surroundings and huddle themselves
together in one room and without
ventilation. The Indian taboos the
cuspidor and rather prefers to expec-
tOrate on the floor
Officials are determined to teach
:he Indian the value of sanitation,
personal cleanliness.

IN THIS PART OF THE VALLEY
CONSIDERATION OF 100000.
Will be Subdivided and Part of it
Sold in Five.acre
Lots.

a deal was consummated in st.
Paul last week by which the Pembina
farm adjoining the corporate limits of
Warren, on the east, was sold for a
consideration of 100000. The deal
embraces an acreage Of almost 1000
acres and was effected through Mr..

been an extensive land operator in
this section and the Red River Valley
for the past dozen years.
The recent purchaser of the Penn
bina property is Benjamin G. Koch, of
fremont, ILL.,, also a large land owner
throughout the Red River Valley.
Through the efforts of both Mr..
O'Meara and Mr.. Koch scores of
settlers have been brought into this
country during the period of their
operations. Several years ago Mr..
O'Meara, the agent in the recent deal,
sold to Mr.. Koch the wellknown
keystone farm at Euclid, MINI. Since
that time scores Of Illinois farmers
have taken up their abode on the
various subdivisions of the farm.
1t is said to be the intention of Mr..
Koch, the present owner of the Penn

which Immediately joins the corpor-
ate limits into five acre lots. These
allotments will be placed upon the
market and offered for sale to the
residents of this community at a
reasonable sum. Surveyors are now

AN ENNOBLING LECTURE.

Judge A. Grindeland delivered his
conscience-stirring, elevating and
ennobling lecture: Honesty is the
best Policy" before a large attending
audience at the Synod church on
Monday evening this week. The
earnest words of the Judge fell as a
bugle sound, calling his listeners to
the rally around the old standards
of honesty and truth as practiced by
our forefathers. It seems that in our
day dishonesty is ramp in the land,
and is found both in public and pri-
yate life. Many examples were cited
to show how dishonesty creeps in
and dominates all classes and con-
ditions of men, beginning with cheat
ing in the school room and ending
with the robbing of some great finan-
cial institution. In recent years there
has been a most healthy awakening
of the public conscience in regard to
ferreting out and Furnishing dishonesty
and corruption in high and low places,
and for this we should be thankful.
Men occupying high positions in the
government service have been march
ed to the jails as common criminals.
The awful consequences that result
from leading life of dishonesty, we're
pointed out clearly and forcibly. His
remarks addressed especially to the
young men and young women, warn
ing them against a dishonest career
and urging them to lead a life Of
honesty rectitude and be true to
themselves and their consciences,
could not fail to have lasting i'm
preston and bound to bring forth
good fruit. We wish that every young
person in this country would have the
privilege to hear Mr.. Grindeland's
lecture on this topic. The Judge cer-
tainly can make good" in the lecture
field as we'll as he has done in the
law and politics.

ROOSEVELT RAPS SOCIALISM.

In the current issue of The Outlook
appears the first of a series of articles
by Theodore Roosevelt on socialism.
1t is entitled "Where We Cannot
Work With Socialists" and the treat
ment is in Mr.. Roosevelt's vigorous
style. Among other things he says:
"The socialist leader with curious
effrontery at times deny that the ex-
ponents of scientific socialism assume
a position as regards industry which
in condensed form, may be stated as
that each man is to do what work he
can, Or, in other words, chooses, and
in return is to take out from the CON-
mon fund whatever he needs ;or what
amounts to the same thing, that each
man shall have equal remuneration
with every other man, no matter what
work is done.
"Under this type of socialism, there
fore, or communism, the government
would have the most drastic possible
despotism-a despotism so drastic
that it's realization would only be an
ideal. OF course, in practice such
system would not work at all, and in
cidentally the mere attempt to realize
it would necessarily be accompanied
by corruption so gross that the
blacklist spot of corruption in any ex-
listing form of city government would
seem bright in comparison.
I'm other words, on the social and
domestic side, doctrinaire socialism
would replace the family and home
life by a glorified state free lunch
counter and state founding asylum
deliberately enthroning self-indulg-
ence as the ideal, with, on it's darker
side, the absolute Abandonment of all
morality as between man and wom-
an; while in place of what socialists
are pleased to call wage slavery
there would be created system
which would necessitate either the
prompt dying out Of the community
through sheer starvation or an iron
despotism over all workers, compared
to which any slave system of the past
would seem benefcent because less
utterly helpless"
"As for the so-called Christian So
cailists: they either are or should be
awaresf the pornographic literature,
and the pornographic propaganda
which makes up one side of the move
ment; a pornographic side which is
entirely proper in a movement that
in this country accepts as one of it's
heads a man whose domestic immor-
ality has been so open and fragrant as
to merit the epithet Shameless"

FINDS MONEY IN POTATOES.

Alvin Hemphill is a progressive
farmemr who came from Joliet, ILL.,,
two years ago and is making a sue
cess at farming in McCrea township.
Last year he planted six acres to po-
tatoes from which he raised 100
bushels. He shipped 692 bushels to
Illinois last fall, receiving 80 cents
per bushel here on track. The bal
ance he stored in his root house and
will have no trouble selling them for

Another feature of the institute was
a practical talk by H. J. Beardmore,
a prominent farmer residing near

timothy and was we'll worth hearing
as he proved to be thoroughly ac-
quainted with the conditions as they
rrevail right here and from practical
experience gained on our own soil
cOnclusively showed the great value
OF timothy both to the land and as a

Ball0onists Believed to Have

SAIL INTO FIERCE STORM
Little Hope Of Saving Lives Of Oceu-
pants Of "Amerlca," Which Has
Been Missing for Several Days-
Capt. Mueller, tho Pilot.

Los Angeles, CAL, Mar. 23.-No word
has come from the balloon America in
which six men ascended Saturday, and
It is feared the balloon has been lost
In the mountains, where terrific bliz-
Sard is raging.
The balloon ascended from TOurna-
ment park in Los Angeles at 8 p. m.
Saturday, Capt. Mueller was pilot, and
his companions were R. G. Halsted, L..
G. Gillian, Sidney Gray, Harold Parker
and Edward Duschtz.
The balloon travelled to the north.
All Probably Dead.
There is a strong probability that
the men have perished in the noun
tains.
The last trace Of the balloon was
when it disappeared through the
clouds in the Grand canyon on the
slope Of Mount Lowe. The big bag
contained $4,000 cubic feet Of gas, be-
ing driven then by strong north wind
towards the peaks of the range.
One of the worst storms in years Is
raging in the mountains. Four feet
of snow has fallen on Mount Wilson,
and nearly two feet at Mount Lowe.
All day yesterday a terrific blizzard
ragged, the wind attaining high We.
locity.
Many Feet of Snow Falls.
The whole side of the mountain is
covered with many feet of snow, the
canyons are filled and the trails are
obliterated.
1t would be impossible for the men
to make their way any distance in the
present snow storm. They have with
them only meager supply Of pro-
visions and but little warm clothing.
Two searching parties were organ.
lied yesterday from Pasadena, and
went to the mountains at once.
Mountain Flight improbable.
Owing to the heavy load which the
America carried it is not thought pos
sible that the balloon succeeded in
clearing the three ranges of noun.
tains and gaining the Mojave desert to
the northward. 1t is more than like.
ly that Mueller tried to bring the bag
to earth somewhere in the mountains
early Sunday night.
Besides Capt. A. E. Mueller, the
pilot, the party in the balloon in.
cludes Lane C. Gillian, a prominent
mining man, formerly of Walla Walla,
Wash, now of Pasadena; Sydney
Gray, Pasadena; Harold Parker, Pasa
dena; F. G. Dodshutz, Pasadena.
Experienced BaIIoonist in Party.
Capt Mueller is the only expert
enced aeronaut in the party. In July
last year he participated in the inter.
national race at Chicago where, in his
balloon, he descended in Lake Michi-
gan and was dragged for miles across
the lake, narrowly escaping with his
life.
Later, in October, he made an ascen.
sion from Columbus, o., and landed in
Niagara canyon, where he was
dragged over a rough country, sustain.
ing broken ribs and other injuries.
