BARNEY flynn Died

PASSED AWAY At ST. ALExlUS
HOSPITAL AFTER LlNGER-
ING ILLNESS.
Was An Old Timer In the City -- He
Freighted and Ran Water Rute IN
the Early Days.

Barney Flynn is dead. After a
lingering and painful illness another
old timer has passed away. The hrst
operation for removal of cancer from
the under lip was though to have
been successful but after year or
so it was found that there still re-
NAMED the germs that finally Slapped
his vitality and baffled all medical
skill. Death came as relief at 3
O'Clock Friday evening. Mr.. Flynn
was 81 years of age and was for over
thirty years a resident of Bismarck.
During the last few years he was a
resident of Mclean county, living on
a claim.
ARRANGEMENTS have been made for
the funeral services from the Cath
Ole church Sunday afternoon at 2
o'clock.
The death of Barney flynn removes
another old timer-a popular citizen.
Away back in the seventies Mr.. Flynn
was engaged in freighting and con-
tracing and in the early days of Bis
marck, before the present water
works system was installed, Mr..
Flynn furnished river water by the
barrel, winter and summer, blizzard
or no blizzard, to the inhabitants OF
the town. Many of the beautiful
trees which now adorn the city and
furnish shade for the pedestrians and
a haven for the birds were started
and maintained with water that cost
Is cents a barrel from Flynn's wagon
system. Mr.. Flynn was a warm
hearted, generous soul and many q
poor man has been the beneficiary
of his unselfish liberality. He had q
wonderful strong physique and but
for the encroachment of the insidious
cancer his expectancy covered many
more years. One by one the pioneers
are passing away and the death OF
Barney Flynn removes one of the
most active and useful characters OF
the early days.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION

"The people of the west are natur-
ally intensely practical" said DR.,
Charles A. Lory, president of the Colo
RADIO Agricultural college a few days
ago. "Even their education must be
practical. The theory is all right pro-
vided you illustrate it by practical ap-
plication, otherwise they haven It time
to bother with it. presume that it is
because we are busy people and have
so many practical every day problems
to solve that we do not want to stop to
consider theories which cannot be ap-
piled to everyday affairs. That is one
of the reasons why the annual stock
show at Denver is 30 popular. It Is
practical education in the most practi-
cal form and ON a subject that interests
every farmer. I regard the annual
stock show at Denver as one Of the
most important institutions Of the state.
Our soil, our climate, every condition
effccting agriculture in Colorado and
the intermountain country, demands
live stock as a basis to be successful.
We shall try to have every agricultural
student at Fort Collins visit the coming
show in Denver and in my opinion, no
farmer or stoekman can AFFORD to miss
it.. 1t is one Of the institutions Of the
state that should be carefully fostered,
for it means much TO the future devil
