AROUSE INTEREST in
DRY farming METHODS
NORTHERN PACIFIC WILL SEND
SPECIAL TRAIN TO SPO-
KANE, WASH.
Prominent Farmers and Representa-.
tive Business Men Will be Guests
Of the Railway on the Trip.

The Northern Pacific road is in
tending to arouse an interest among
the farmers of North Dakota in dry
farming, and that method Of increas.
ing the yield of crops known as the
dry farming process. In order to do
this a special train will be sent to
Spokane, Wash. The railroad will in.
vite as it's guests representative far
mers and business men from various
North Dakota counties. The dry
farming process will be investigated
and the results shown to North Da-
kota people, with the idea of getting
that method of farming more into
use.
The practical results of this kind of
cultivation have been shown this year
in the western part of this state and
in certain localities where farmers
have undertaken it on small scale.
To get more general knowledge of
dry farming and it's increased yield
of crops among the farmers is the
next step to be taken.

UNDERWOOD YOUTH
IS shot To Death
WAS A MEMBER OF A HUNTING
PARTY SUNDAY WHEN &C.
CIDENT OCCURRED.
Attempts to Strike Horse With Load
ed Gun and Full Charge is Received
BY Him Through the Chest.

Eric Handy. the 1G-year-old son OF
a prominent farmer resialng near I'm
derwood, met instant death Sunday
morning while out hunting with two
young men about the same age. The
sad accident happened about mile
out from the city.
Handy. in company with his two
companions, was member of a hunt
ing party that started out from Un-
derwood in a single rig. The horse
was not going very fast and seemed
to successfully withstand any appli-
cation of the whip. The boys were
in hurry, and young Handy was
standing up In the back of the con-
veyance. He leaned over and at
tempted to strike the animal with the
butt of his gun, holding the muzzle
in his hand. In so doing the piece
was discharged and the full load
struck the unfortunate youth square
ly In the chest, tearing away his
heart. Death was instantaneous.
The coroner was summoned from
Turtle Lake and held an inquest but
it was self evident that death was
purely accidental. The funeral will
be held today at Underwood.

The North Dakota Independent
Telephone company's exchange at
Bismarck has completely outgrow-l
it's present cables, and additional
equipment is necessary in order that
the public may be given the satisfac-
tory service which the company aims
to give it's patrons at all times.
District Manager F.. l.. Shuman,
who makes his headquarters at Bis.
marck, has recently returned from a
trip to his former home at Lacrosse,
Wis. He states that the growth of
the telephone system here is remark
able when compared with that in oil:
err cities.
Said Mr.. Shuman: POSSIBLY in no
other manner can the growth of Il
city be determined so accurately Us
through the growth of it's telephone
systems. Every new business house
and nearly every residence is equip
ped with a phone, and the growth of
the community can be readily traced
by watching the number of new tele-
phones that are installed during the
year."
Mr.. Shuman. will have been mana
ger of tine local company two years
on the first of October. During that
time there have been over two hun
dred new phones installed in thee ity.
One hundred of these were put in
the first year, and already for the
present year there have been lis
.hones installed and orders for sew
eral more.
There were $50 subscribers in the
city when Mr.. Shuman assumed the
local management, and al present
there are $40 subscribers.
The company has completely out
grown it's NrfJent Fable capacity.
A carload of new cable has been re-
