AUTO BROKE COPLAND'S LEG

Tried to Prevent Running Down Dog
and the Auto Was Turned Com

cape from Death.
Williston, Sept. 26.-John Cope
land of Minot, agent for the Ford car,

dent near Gladys. Mr.. Copeland left
here accompanied by Messrs. Bisiek-
err and Bishop of Fessenden and E.
R Brownson, of this city. When
about three miles from Gladys sew
eral dogs ran out into the road ahead
of the machine. Mr.. COPELAND slowed
down and, thinking he was by all the
dogs, had just started up on high
speed again when one of the animals
got in front of the machine. The
auto turned completely over when 1t
struck the dog and one wheel was
broken. Mr.. COPELAND was the only
one seriously injured. He had a leg
broken in three places. Mr.. Bis
iekerz was thrown about twenty feet
but was uninjured. Mr.. Bishop was
caught under the car but the curve
in the side of the frame happened to
come over him and it is probably due
to this fact that his back was not
broken. AS it was he escaped with
few bruises. Mr.. Brownson was
thrown from the car but was not
hurt The accident was a bad one
and it is a wonder that they we're
not all killed.

sold at rs cents thousand feet for
illuminating, and Is cents thousand
for manufacturing. This statement
from Mr.. Stow follows long period
Of investigation, which has satisfied
him that the gas has the quality to
make it of high commercial value
after slight treatment by the dry
process and that the Missouri valley
field contains enough to supply Min
neapolis, st. Paul and the intermedi-
ate country for at least rs years.
Astonishing as the statement may
seem, 1t is fact nevertheless, that
gas in great quantity has been found
in the LIE Beau district, as elsewhere
An eastern expert found one we'll in
LeBeau that flowed 10000 feet day
without pumping and it was the opin-
ion Of the expert, based upon what
has been done in the eastern gas
fields, that a supply of 100000 feet
day could be secured by boring.
The expert stated that it is entirely
feasible to transmit gas by piping by
the installation of drying plant at
the initial point which would keep it
from freezing. Thomas A. Way, Wa
tertown, land agent and right of way
man for the Minneapolis G St. Louis
railroad, who owns portion of the
townsite of LIE Beau, believes the plan
practicable.

\ WORD OF ADVICE
 TO ORANGE GROWERS
Bt Q. Q. Smith Who Speaks From Ex-
 psrisnee and Observation.

D. D. Smith, who Is an ochardist and nursery man of much experience has on his place now about 300 young sour orange trees, and about 100 young eucalyptus trees of the Tereticornis variety, recommended for the honey producing qualities. Mir Smith has been experimenting with young trees for some time. and plans to set out a large number of young pepper and eucalyptus trees this spring as well as some new orange trees. The eucalyptus trees require some shade during the first summer, and Mir. Smiths plan is to set the peppers out first, as they are said to attain a growth of from five to six feet during the first season, then to set the eucalyptus between the pep pers thus affording shade for them
 With regard to his young orange trees, he says the frost did absolutely no damage to them, and he has a large sour orange tree, and a blood orange fn;fuh bearing on his place now which has only few of the outer leaves curled by the recent cold snap, show ing that his trees are all right. Mir. Smith thinks that there are several pointers which could profitably be talk en up by the orange growers in this vicinity to whom orange growing is practically q new thing. He says. re- garding the cultivation of new trees. that '-on the coast of the Mississippi and Florida the danger is in a freeze. coming late in the winter A warm spell in January. to start a new growth followed by freeze is where the dan ger lies. Trees thirty feet tall are sometimes killed by the frost there at such a time
 Our danger is in the late fall growth. Trees with wood properly ripened in the fall, will stand as much or more cold. than the pepper tree or fig. We do not have what is called the January thaw and the nights are sufficiently cold to prevent midwinter growth.
 Now if we prevent a late fall growth which with us is easily controlled. then our trees will stand colder weather than we have ever had here. My plan is to get all the growth possible in the spring, and fore part of the summer. and discontinue irrigating and cultivat- ing after the middle of August. Trees handled in this way will be entirely safe without shelter or covering.

Few American Presidents wives
have come to take up the onerous
duties of mistress of the White House
with better qualifications than has
Mrs William H Taft. She has had a
great deal of experience of public life,
and is a hostess Of marked ability
Her knowledge Of the White House,
TOO, is already extensive, for when
she was a child she stayed there
good deal, owing 10 the fact that her
father was the legal partner of Presi-
dent Hayes. Mrs. Taft is very must
cal. and possesses a keen sense o.
humor, two attributes that are indis-
pensabl in a hostess. and she is also
much interested in the arts and in IT.
