HAMMOND rs BACK.

Ashley Tribune: C. c. Hammond
returned to Ashley, last Friday, after
an absence of several months. 1t will
be remembered that early in April
Mr.. Hammond went to the hospital
at Bismarck where he underwent a
surgical operation. He was getting
along very well when the explosion
of the heating plant in the hospital
occurred. A panic among the pa
tients naturally followed, and Mr..
Hammond, whose room was on the
third floor, so exerted himself in
dressing and attempting to escape
from the building, thinking that the
place was on fire, that his condition
became alarming and he was obliged
to remain at the hospital six weeks
longer. After his discharge from the
hospital Mr.. Hammond spent the
summer on the Pacific coast with his
family. Mrs. Hammond and the chill
dren are still at Eugene, Oregon, and
will probably remain there until the
end Of the present school year.

PLAZA PEOPLE PREPARING
FOR RESERVATION OPENING

Plaza, N. D., Nov. 25.-The people
of Plaza are showing their progress
iveness by taking time by the fore
lock in preparing for the opening
of the Fort Berthold reservation,
which lies Immediately south OF
of the Plaza Advancement Club
composed of the following members:
V. L. Shaw, George J. Smith, L. E.
Under, o. J. Rued, S. S. Stafford AMI
R. o. Miller are boosting for the
furtherance of the opening of the
reservation
This committee is composed of the
leading business men Of Plaza and
they have interviewed Congressman
Hanna regarding the immediate IN
PRODUCTION of a bill in congress pro
viding for the opening of the Fort
Berthold reservation.
This reservation lies Immediately
south of Plaza and is one of the most
beautiful stretches of land in the en-
tire state. Land in the vicinity of
Plaza produced as high as thirty-oDe
bushels of No. / hard wheat to the
acre and an average of twenty BUSH
els to the acre. Flax yielded on an
average of fifteen bushels and oats
fifty-fve bushels. Land in the vicin-
ity of Plaza Is selling at from $4,000
to $4,000 per quarter section.
This land is adjacent to the res
ervation and any one so fortunate to
draw a claim on the Fort Berthold
reservation has won a fortune.
Starting from Plaza which is only
one and a half miles from the reser'
walton, and travelling a distance of
twenty-five miles south or west lies

The Fort BerthOld reservation con-
tains 100000 acres of land of which
100000 acres or practically all of the
land which lies north and east of the
Missouri river will be thrown open
for filing.
This tract of land Is far superior
to either the Cheyenne or Standing
Rock reservations and is about the
last land in the west to be thrown
open for homestead purposes.
The reservation has been used in
tue past for grazing purposes, it hav-
ing fence enclosing it on all sides.
The Indians who number about 100
have been receiving the income from
the grazing permits.
This land is the greatest hay pro-
ducing land in the northwest grow

PIONEER M'INTOSH HOUSE !
WAS DESTROYED BY fire

Ashley, Nov. 25.-The first house
built in Mcintosh county was de-
stroyed by fire, early Monday morn

law, Mrs. Helen de Lendrecie, Fargo,
were still occupying the house while
arranging business matters and af-
fairs before the probate court by
reason of the death Of Mr.. Basye,
last September. Shortly before two
o'clock, Monday morning, Mrs. Basye
awoke. Thinking that she sme1led
smoke she aroused Mrs. de Lendrecie.
The ladies were in the large room of
the middle of the building. The door
TO the stairway was opened and a
cloud of smoke came up from below.
A few moments later the door was
again opened and flames were then
seen eating their way up to the STAIR
way. Although retreat by way of the
stairway was cut off, the ladies es-
capped through the south door, which
opened on the side of the hill. They
were able to save only what wearing
apparel they could hastily gather

burned and there was no danger of
the fires spread to the barn they
made their way to the home Of the
nearest neighbor. Monday, Mrs. de
Lendrecie went to Fargo, via Forbes,
and Mrs. Basye came to Ashley.
The house that burned was three
stories in heighth, built into the steep
side of the hill few rods from the
northeast shore of Coldwater Lake.
1t was built in the spring of the year
1884. During that summer and for

MILLION DOLLAR PLANS
Save COUNTRY'S BIRDS

New York, Nov. 25.-Proposing to
save the people of this country at
least $40 100000 each year, plans for
a National Audubon university, to be
endowed with one million dollars
were announced in this city today
Based upon the known annual crop
loss Of one billion dollars due to the
spreading pest that the insect eating
birds destroy, the calculations Of the
National Association of Audubon So
cieties, which is putting forth this
project, show that the teaching Of
bird value from such an institution
must result in wiping out at least
one per cent of the huge national
penalty for popular lack Of knowl-
edge on this subject. When one mil
lion dollars can be raised for the new
university, it is proposed to at once
start it's work which PROMISE: to
eventually contribute hundreds of
millions to American prosperity.
Every man, woman and child
throughout the United States is to be
included as student in the proposed
Audubon university. Through hun
dreds of lectures and teachers. who
are to be educated in the science Of
natures checks to the destruction of
the country's crops and woods, the
economic principles of bird preserva-
ton will be taught to the people of
every community. BY means of un-
iversfty extension and correspond
ence courses the saving effect of the
wild birds will be presented to the
workers on the six million farms Of
the country. Each phase of the
science Of economic orntth ology will
be studied at this unique seat Of
learning and presented to the people
whose material gain is today serious
ty hampered by lack of light on the
subject.
Reports from every state and coun-
ty in the land have convinced the Of
,ficers of the National Association Of
Audubon societies that all the Ameri-
can people are now ready and eager
to learn to guard against tho money
loss that surely follows the destruc-
ton Of the counrry's feathered re-
sources. Only the wide presentation
of the facts and figures Of economic

Crops and Prosperity.

The fact that the harvests promise
to be so bountiful this year continues
TO be dwelt upon in expressions of
gratitude in the press throughout the
country. One of the things that struck
the delegates to the convention of the
National Editorial Association at Seattle
was the feeling of encouragement ev-
erywhere noticeable in travel in the
great northwest. As J. P. Paumgart-
ner. the newly chosen first vice presi-
dent, put it in an article on the pro-
ceedings of the convention prepared by
him as chairman of a committee:
There is hopeful feeling every
where among the farmers and business
men over the prospects of season of
prosperity just ahead. The first of the
new grain has already got to market
What in the east is called the north
west Minnesota and the Dakotas- is
also especially favored by great crops.
Oats are practically all harvested, and
the reports from all over the country
are that it is the largest crop in ten
years. Wheat also is the best il has
been for many years. every field prom
ising very heavy yield. And the corn
crop gives every indication of equaling
the bumper crops of the most favored
sections of Illinois or Iowa. A large
crop of hay has been put up without
being damaged by the rain. There is
general rejoicing on the part of the
business men and farmers.

BUSY September ..

Delta will have one Of the busiest
days in its history on September %.
Not only is the president to make a
brief stop here in the afternoon. on his
way to Montrose, but at least 100 mem
bers of the Colorado Manufacturers
Association will spend two hours in the
city, from to To- a. m. Arrangements
are being made by the Business Mems
Association to welcome both the presi-
dent and the manufacturers.
The latter party takes in Delta on
its extensive tour of the western and
southern parts of the state in the spe-
cial train which starts from Denver.
1t is the object of the members of the

Sugar Company Buys Land.

The Great Western Sugar company
has bought million dollars worth of
land this year in Colorado, which it in-
tends to develop to beet growing land.
1t also announces its intention to build
a number of additional factories.
This sounds good for Delta's pros
poets, in as much as it proves that OBJ
sticles regarded last year as holding
back the building of sngar factories
have been removed, and that factories
will be built wherever needed.

Trouble Ouer Check
Cashed in Montrose.

tercepted gentleman named F. w.
Gibbs at this place Tuesday, and appro-
priated his watch and an order for
some other collateral to secure a check
of $40 which Gibbs wife had cashed at
the First National bank of this city.
Gibbs has made his home at Hotch-
kiss for the past month or more where
he is preparing to start cooperative
store near that place. Gibbs wrote the
check on the Central National bank of
Denver. While in the city recently,
Mrs. Gibbs got the check cashed. In
the course of time the check returned
marked not paid on account of the
signer having no funds in that bank.
The matter was placed in the hands of
Attorney Rowbotham of Hotchkiss who,
on failing to get a settlement, followed
Gibbs to Montrose, on his way to Den
yer. Gibbs claims that there is mis-
take somewhere as he contends that
he has money in the Denver bank on

woman, who for the past two years has

Delta County Fair attractions.

The parade of decorated automobiles
and carriages. which is to be one of the
features of the last days program at
the Delta county fair, September l5.
l6 and II. will be one of the prettiest
as well as most novel events on the en-
tire program. 1t has been arranged to
have the parade start early and proceed
through the streets of Delta before 60
ing to the fair grounds. where the judg-
ing will take place. Cash prizes have
been offered for the best decorated
automobile. the best decorated double
rig and the best decorated single rig.
Il is expected that there will be large
turnout.
Entries for the various events are
coming in rapidly. Both the Hotchkiss
and Paonia commercial clubs have sig
nified their intention of sending a team
down to take part in the tomato fight,
and each thinks that it will be able to
take the cash prize away from the Delta
Invincibles. The hopeful ones have
never seen Judge Milton Welch throw
a tomato, however, or they might not
be sanguine.
Undoubtedly the biggest event of the
fair from sporting point of view, will
be the lodge relay races. Teams from
the biggest and best organizations in
the county will compete and the rivalry
promises to be spirited. The commit
tee in charge of the horticultural and
agricultural display says it will be the
best ever shown in Delta county
