 Uncle Nat had never yet refused any request of Natalie's and he would not begin now, though he did not feel any great enthusiasm for nursing a baby lamb, as he supposed Cleopatra to be.
 "Of course, dear" he answered.
 When he beheld the broken-tailed little Berkshire pig that Natalie proud ly introduced to him as Cleopatra, Uncle Nat gasped:
 Child, what an odd pet!'
 She's darling, Uncle Nat," de- clared Natalie. Don't you like little pigs?"

The Irwins have been over today for

coast weather, so l brought him to my
place ten days ago. He is comfortable,
has good appetite and says he has

Ludden Oratory.

The judges for the Ludcen class in
oratory had a hard task before them
when the girls began to read.
Mrs. Waterman had traired them all
and the contest was very close. The
Introductory wand drill was very beau
tiful and in perfect time. Mrs. Water

clear, natural tones and fine articula-

end of the hall. Sadie Linville read,

read it better. Nettie Howard read,

was suited to her earnest declamatory
style and was perfectly given. La
verna Randall read, ''The Dykes of
Holland" Her clear voice rang out
with convincing power and her coun-
tenance lit up with sympathetic emo
tion, while with free and easy gesture
she sent the fine logic home to her
hearers. Emma Howard gave, can

solo and displaying great talent both as
reader and singer. Vivian Robinson
read, "a Plea for the Children" and
touched the great heart of every one
present. Little Henry, his old violin,
his drunken father all came before you
to stay. Nellie Howard read, "Judge
Morse's Reasons" strong piece, full
of truth, logic and justice. Nellie
loved her piece and entered into the
very spirit of the occasion. The jury,
the prisoner, the Judge, the ones who
had aided in his downfall all came
vividly before the audience and held
them spellbound. Nellie was awarded
the medal and heartily cheered. Mrs.
Waterman asked if Ludden was proud

deafening and prolonged. Ludden has

High Value Of Alcohol.
'tAnother important consideration is
the high value of denatured alcohol for
manufacturing, in the arts and for do
mestic uses. This is Of particular i'm
portance to North Dakota and adjacent
states where kerosene and gasoline are
so much used for fuel and lighting.
There is no doubt that if denatured al
cohol could be manufactured in suffi-
cient quantities it would prove a
serious competitor of the products of
the Standard Oil Co., which has a
monopoly on the sale of kerosene and
gasoline in the state. This competition
doubtless would result in reducing the
price of these Standard Oil products.
II am quite sanguine over the out
look for this new industry if properly
handled. haye recently conferred by
letter with the officers of several North
Dakota commercial organizations and
find them manifesting keen interest in
the subject taken. It looks to me as
though it offers the state an industry
full of promise.

Sees Paying Proposition.

''From an investigation have made
I am convinced that the potato crop of
North Dakota, if increased from 80 to
SO per cent, can produce sufficient sur
plus to make the manufacture of alco-
hol paying proposition. I have in
formation at hand which indicates that
the farmers of several counties, par
ticularly Cass, propose to increase
their crop this year to an extent that
from the surplus, alcohol can be manu-
factured in paying quantities.
''This is being done in Clay county,
Minnesota, l am told, and there seems
: to be no reason why it cannot be done
in our state. The records of the
Agricultural department show that
75O, 900 bushels Of potatoes were pro-
duced in Clay county last year. If,
say $1,000 bushels of these potatoes
were not salable for food purposes,
that number of gallons of alcohol could
have been manufactured.
''In connection with my investigation
of the potato end of my proposition,
consulted two firms as to the cost Of
erecting the necessary stills. A con.
servative estimate puts this cost at be.
tween $751; and $50, 900 each and ]
think two would be sufficient at the
outset. More could be erected as the
industry would warrant. I have M
doubt that the capital could be inter.

several states. Encouraged by this,
his idea is to give it a fair trial in
North Dakota to the extent of capital
and erecting stills in several parts of
the state.
One of these stills, if conditions war
rant, will probably be erected near
Fargo and LaMoure, although the main
object is to have them in localities
where the bulk of the potato crop is
produced.
Mr.. Marshall left Washington Friday
night for New York, whence he sailed

II Found Feasible Several
Stills Will Be Put In at
Convenient Points.

Washington, March 19.-Plans look
ing to put North Dakota among the
leading states in the production of de-
natured alcohol will be initiated by for
mer representative, Tom Marshall, as
soon as he returns from his European
trip some time this summer.
It is Mr.. Marshall's intention to en-
gage in the manufacture of denatured
alcohol from potatoes if, after thor
ough investigation, he becomes con-
vinced that North Dakota farmers can
grow sufficient crop to make the ven
ture paying one. He has assurances,
he says, that the proposition can be
made commercially successful and that
the potatoes that are now wasted can
be turned into considerable profit both
for the farmer and the alcohol manu-
facturer.
Marshall Has Studied Subject.
Mr.. Marshall has devoted some time
recently to investigation of the sub.
ject. He consulted the department OF

missioner Of internal revenue, learning
from them that the industry has been
developed with marked success in

CASE UNLIKELY TO

United States Attorney Ex-
poets to See Coal Company
Case Stop.

Colonel H. E. Booth United States
district attorney for Utah, discussing
the opinion handed down by Judge
Walter II. Sanborn, in the United
States circuit court of appeals. at st.
Paul, Friday, setting aside the YER
dict of the Utah court, in the case
of the United States against the Union
Pacific Coal company and others, said
that in his opinion the case was not
likely to be carried higher.
THE United States supreme court"
said Colonel Booth, refused to issue
a writ of certiOrari in the case of the
United States against the STANDARD Oil
company of Indiana, on the grounds
that the judgment of, the circuit court
of appeals was final.
THE decision seems to be q step
further than that taken in the case
of Whitwell against the Continental
Tobacco company, in which the Opln-
ion was to the effect that a manufac-
turer of tobacco could sell to whom
he pleased and could refuse to sell
to a certain person if he chose. The
court in that case said tobacco was
not like coal and corn, which are re-
garded as necessaries."
Colonel Booth has sent for a copy
of the complete decision.
