CAPT. BAKER SEES
Big Things COMING
NAVIGATION ON THE RIVER IS
OPEN PETWEEN WAsHsURN
AND GARRISON.
Baker Says There Will BE Big Immi-
= grafton to the Middle West This
.s Summer.

Capt. I. p. Baker was asked about
the opening of navigation on the Mis-
souri,; also If he intended to replace
the Expansion destroyed at the time
Of the recent food. He says that
navigation is already open, and boats
running between Washburn and Gar
rison. AS to the rebuilding Of the
boat, plans are under advisement,
but nothing has been done as yet.
'Of course We shall push things
along just as rapidly as We can ma
ture our plans," said the captain.
Changing the subject, Capt. Baker
went on to state that the people of
Bismarck had no possible conception
of the enormous influx of immigrants
tending this way. There is such q
reaction setting In from Canada and
the coast as has never before been
heard of. ..-
More than half a million more acres
Of land is under cultivation. in this
locality this year than there was last.
Bismarck is the coming city and the
facts and figures talk for themselves.

Seeders and Drills Will Be Scarce
Article - Manufacturers and Job
bers Are Cleaned Out.

George Welch, Of the firm Of French
and Welch, hardware dealers, was
seen and interogated relative to the
scarcity of various farm implements
that are in great demand just at pres
ent. Mr.. Welch said:
"Seeders and drills will be one-third
short Of the supply as everything In
this line is sold out at the various
factories. Take gasoline engines, for
instance. venture to say that
should get an order to fill right now
it would be at least thirty days be-
fore it could be delivered. While the
manufacturing establishments are
working day and night to supply the
demands. they have hard problem
to face, owing, perhaps more to the
season opening up a month earlier
than was anticipated. One Of the
travelling men on this route represent
ing the Deere Webber people, stated
that he had sold seventy engine gang
plows, so you may see just about how
things are moving in the vicinity OF
Bismarck. In due time, with the In
creased facilities, everything will
right itself. Anyway. there is no
cause for alaIm."

FIRST PRAIRIE FIRE
Of SEASON WEDNES'Y

BURNED OVER AND ONE
FARMER LOST HOME.

Early Hour Thursday Morning -
Many Small 8Iazes.

There were a number of prairie
fires on the Slope Wednesday, and
probably the worst one was north OF
New Salem, and for time threatened
to work it's way into the town.
The first alarm was sent in from
youngstown, a mining town north OF
New Salem, and a large number Of
New Salemites went to the scene In
automobiles and assisted in fighting
the advance Of the flames. The fire
was combated until they had ap-
preached within about two miles Of
New Salem when they got 1t under
control, and with the subsiding OF
the high wind Of the day the danger
wa sover.
There were number Of farm build
ings endangered during the day but
the only one who lost any consider
able amount by the fire was a farm
er by the name Of Casper Bickel who
lives about two miles north of New
Salem. All of his farm buildings were
burned and he and his wife suffered
some quite severe burns In an effort
to save some of their property burn
ing house.
There were number of other small
fires reported from different parts
of the country, but so far as has been
learned there were no serious losses
of property.

his heel in a cell in the Tombs pris-

gloomy, for not only was he locked

He was "served" Notwithstanding
his protests.
Johnson appeared today grinnlng

Norman Pinder, a negro, one fourth

some weeks ago. Pinder at the time
declined to buy a drink for JOHN

there was a time when Johnson was
glad to drink "Suds out of bucket"
The rest is contained in TIE charge
of assault against the fighter.
But Pinier and his witnesses fail

that in cash? The court decidedly
would not, so the big prize f1grter

THE local way trains from the east
