SELLING FARMS
BY AUCTION
NEW SYSTEM OF BARNES COUNTY
REALTY DEALERS IS A
SUCCESS.

Valley City, N. D., Nov s.--sellins
farms by auction to the highest bidder
promises to do away eventually with
the present method Of personal sale By
contract. The plan has been tried a,
Nome with signal success.
The average price for the farms
which were sold there last week was
$50 an acre, although one particularly
fne piece OF land. with good improve
ments, brought SIS an acre.
The plan followed was the advertis-
ing of the sale and the issuing of an
illustrated catalogue of the farms to
be auctioned. These were sent to
prospective buyers that they might
note heir first and second choice OF
land. When they arrived at Nome they
were taken out in automobiles and
shown the lands they preferred. Two
days were spent at this work and then
the auction was held.
The first farm offered for sale
brought $64 an acre The bidding was
spirited, as many had set their minds
upon securing the same piece OF prop
erty. This kept the prices above the
ordinary and proved more satisfactory
than the contract for deed plan.
Real estate dealers who put on the
sale say they will continue this method
in the future.

sulIdinss Blockade steamers.

Grand Forks, N. d., Nov. s. - TO
maintain the channel Of the Red river
in such condition as to allow the oper-
alton of boats, extensive dredging
work has been found necessary at this
point. The trouble arises from a pecul-
lar cause, the heavy buildings In
Grand Forks and East Grand Forks
being responsible These buildings
have had tendency to force the
lower layers of sand outward and into
the river bed, thus gradually creating
a bar that grew so large this fall as
to do away with the possibility of con-
tinuing the use OF the river at this
point for navigation purposes. with
this falls dredging, however the
channel will be in shape for the. re-
sumption of river traffic.

MOOSE LODGE
had Fine Line
PLANT UNEARTHEp AT HARVEY
HAD EVERYTHING NEcEs-
SARY FOR BOOZE.

Harvey, N. d., Nov. SAN elaborate
scheme for the obtaining and disposal
of liquor contrary, at least, to the
spirit Of the North Dakota prohibition
law was ,unearthed in this city by
Sheriff Lyness when he raided the
quarters of the Moose lodge, placing
Dan Nash, alleged to be the bar
keeper" under arrest.
A complete outfit for a saloon con-
Quoted on the coupan plan was con-
fiscated and is now I'm the county Jail
at Fessenden. Considerable liquor
too was found, and the authorities
swear that when they entered the
lodge" room, several men were con-
gregated about the place and were
being served liquor in the regulation
manner.
If the conditions existing are in ac-
Icordance with the allegations of the
sheriff, then the Moose lodge of Har-
vey has one of the most elaborate
plans Of evading the prohibition law
ever invented From the books and
records of the organization the entire
plan is unfolded, and instead of using
cash in payment of liquor it is charg-
ed that the members used coupon
books running from 81 to IS in a
book. The lodge room was elaborate
ly equipped with glasses, place to
keep liquor, etc, with Nash, now un-
der arrest, evidently in charge.
The outside entrance to the room
was kept securely locked, but each
member had a key, receiving this at
the time he Joined the organization.
One Of the startling disclosures is the
fact that the name Of Fred Lilly, Har-
vey's chief of police, was found on
the membership book, eleventh from
the top. The books showed about six
ty members, each in possession of a
key at the time of the raid.
Beer was sold at 25 cents a bottle,
while whiskey seemingly sold for Is
cents a drink. If the records main
tanned are correct, the amount of
liquor disposed Of was large, and
there should be a surplus If anybody
was getting this surplus, the officials
propose to make further arrests.

TWO HUNTERS
DROWNED SUNDAY

Brainerd, Mimi, Nov. s. - George
Thompson, unmarried, aged 10 and
Joe Myers, single, aged rs were
drowned Sunday afternoon while driv-
ing their wagon across the narrows
Of Whitefish lake, situated about four
miles north and six miles ease Of
Jenkins and about forty miles north
of Brainerd.
Thompson lived about five miles
east Brainerd near the Gibbs school
house and Myers lived in Brainerd
with his parents. He had a claim
near Whitefsh lake. The hunting
party consisting of Bert and Duncan
Thompson, brothers of the deceased,
and Oscar Sangren and Frank Taylor
left Brainerd by train on Friday. The
two who drowned took team and
heavy wagon and drove UP with the
camp supplies, cooking utensils and
tent No one saw the accident, but
it is presumed that they drove through
the treacherous narrows of the lake
to save ten-mile detour Of the coun-
try. 1t was very windy that day and
1T is supposed they lost their bearing,
struck deep water and drowned,
horses and all.
George Thompson was for many
years a foreman of the Fisher
Vaughn Co. of Brainerd, and had
charge last summer of all the cement
contracts at Pine River.
The bodies will be brought to Brai-
nerd this noon.

Samuel Godstone Sells $50 Acres of Unmproved Land Ad-
joining Town for $21 900.
)THER REAL ESTATE DEALS LATELY COMPILE
Farm Property Recognized Good Investment Local People
Are the Principal Purchasers.

Farm land in the vicinity OF
Cottonwood has been advancing
rapidly in price since last fall
and in spite of the numerous
deals made during the winter
months, when snow covered the
ground, farms continue to change
hands here with amazing fire.
quency and one nice feature of
the matter is that practically
every sale is made to local peo-
pie, which goes conclusively to
show that the people of this
country thoroughly realize what
a valuable asset farm land here
is getting to be.
One of the largest real estate
deals closed in this vicinity for
many months was consummated
last Friday evening when Samuel
Goldstone sold his 350-acre farm
lying just west of town to We're
Pennecard for $21, 900, or $50 an
acre. Mr.. Pennecard has been
farming Indian land near Green
creek for the past several years
but held a sale last week and in
tended going elsewhere to look
up an investment but decided
that he could do no better than
invest in Camas Prairie farm
land and so made the above pur-
chase. The farm contains about
$50 acres of tillable land, only
part of which is in cultivation,
and has no improvements. 1t
has an abundance of water, how
ever, and being located adjoining
town makes it a very valuable
place, especially so after it is
placed under cultivation and i'm
proved. That Mr.. Pennecard
will make good money on his in
vestment ;s practically a GER
tainty.
Another deal of no mean pro-
portions was closed last Thursday
when B. Tacke purchased the
George ("Cap." Wolf farm of
100 acres east of town for $4,000.
This farm is a very nice one and
we'll worth the price paid for it.
Mr.. Tacke will no doubt be able
to get a material advance on the

price paid for the place before
the year closes, should he care to
dispose of it.
Theodore Wasem closed a deal
Saturday for the sale of 100 acres
of land northwest of Denver to
Frans Heartburg for $4,000,
cash. The place has no improve
ments nor water on it but it lays
handy to Mr.. Heartburg's pres
ent farm, which had much to do
with his buying it. Mr.. Wasem
invested in a we'll improved 120-
acre farm near Culdesac at $62. so
an acre and went down to take
charge of the place Wednesday.
We understand that Martin
Vessels recently purchased an
8O-acre tract of land north of
Greencreek for $50 an acre.
The Camas Prarie Land Co.
this week closed a deal for the
sale of 160 acres of VIM. Har-
mans farm north of Greencreek,
the old Sink place, to Eaves &
Long for $40 an acre, making
the third time this company has
sold this place within the past
eighteen months.
Just as an idea of how valuable
land is becoming in this section,
we can say that A. L. Creelman
recently refused an offer of $75
an acre for his 80-acre tract a
short distance southeast of town,
and Henry Terhaar this week
turned down an offer of $4,000
for his 160-acre timber ranch
west of Keuterville. Similar
places to the latter have been
selling at about $500 but the
offer of $4,000 was made by a
speculator, but was refused.
We believe we are safe in say
ing that more land has changed
hands in the vicinity of Cotton
wood the past few months than
in any similar section of central
Idaho and the transfers are by
no means over, as we know of
several deals now pending and
more to come.
AS an investment Idaho coun-
ty land can't be beat.
