FLAX DEVELOPMENT.
Prot. Boiiey still Working in the
Interest OF the Flax -Raisers
OF North Dakota.

The old saying that history re.
peats itself. says the Kuhn Messen-
ger. is to be changed somewhat in
North Dakota if the aims Of Prof.
n. L. Bolley. state seed commission
er do not go amiss, and it is the
history of flax development that he
is seeking to work this change in.
The object for which the state seed
commission is working. and for
which the department of botany of
the agricultural college is now or
ganzing the bureau of information,
is to retain the raising of flax as one
of the leading agricultural industries
of the state, that North Dakota may
continue to head the column as the
greatest flax -porducing state in the
union.
The history of the flax industry
has been peculiar. In the new
states, as they have been developed
one after another. flax has taken a
prominent place as one of the most
important crops. But. as the state
has become more fully developed,
the flax crop has gradually disap-
peared till in time it has become en-
tirely insignificant as one of the
states products.
Prof. H. l.. Bolley investigations
for several years have been directed
particularly witha view to determin.
ing, if possible, the cause for this
condition. and the discovery Of GER
tain flax diseases is the solution.
Then, in order that the state may
profit by the experience of her sister
states, the movement to organize
for fight against these flax diseases
was launched, and it has been sue
cessful in the founding of the pure
seed department.
Already. the director of this de-
partment, Prof. Bolley has ac-
quainted the farmers of the state
with the purposes of the bureau.
and he has asked them to submit
samples of flax, that they may be
analysed. When flax is found to be
diseased the farmer is so notified,
and the consequence of purchasing
such seed and using it is also set
forth; it being shown that the use
of the seed in question would in
still much disease into the soil, and

Kind Words for Col. TuttIe.

Grand Forks Times: One of the
noteworthy resultsl in the late cleo
tion in North Dakota was the cleo
tionlof Col. w. p. Tuttle as a mem

the Twenty-sixth district, consisting
of Kidder and Emmons.
Col. TuttIe was formerly resi-
dent of Chicago, removing to DaW
son. N. ID, in 1905 Two years ago
he became..a candidate or the legis-
lature, but, owing a tie vote for his
two opponens, the election was by
law void and a special election was
ordered in the district.
At the second election Col. Tuttle
received more than 500 majority of
the Republican votes,, and was given
certificate of election by the can
vassing board, duly signed by Gov
ernor Burke. Meanwhile, one of
the two opposing candidates (Her-

A Peculiar Accident.

Casselton, N. d., Nov. 2s. f.
Priewe. the local cabinet-maker and
undertaken. was the victim of a
severe and painful accident. and
that he is on earth at this time is
due to a piece of rare luck, mingled
with the unfortunate part of it.
Mr.. Priewe was cutting a piece
of hard wood with his power-saw,
and was using a screw-driver as a
pry to keep the saw from binding.
Somehow the screw-driver came in
contact with the revolving saw and
was thrown into the air, the edged
part of the tool entering Mr..
Priwe's head just above the left eye.
The injured man, strange to say.
was able to summon help and walk
to Taubert's drug store, and the
office upstairs to DIR. Rowe's office,
where his head was firmly held by
Messrs. X. Morton and L.. A. Tau
bert, and DR.. Rowe was compelled
to use his full strength to extract
the screw-driver. The good luck
that Mr.. Priewe had was that the
eye was missed. and the angle of en-
try saved the BRAN from perfora
tion. The injured man suffered
considerably. but at last accounts
was in a way TO soon be around in
condition to tell how the whole af-
fair came about.

OIanders About Stamped Out.

The strenuous efforts that have
been put forth by the state veteri-
marian departm ent are bearing fruit.
The dread disease among the horses
of North Dakota has been practically
wiped out, and only isolated cases
are now brought to the attention of
the officers.
Speaking of the matter, Assistant
State Veterinarian F. L. Cusack, of
Darlington, said: 81 have only been
called upon to condemn ten or
fifteen horses for glanders during the
past nine months. A few years ago
| was answering three to five calls a
week between here and the Missouri
river, and we were condemning some
sixty horses week on the average.
But we now have the disease nearly
wiped out. Once a month or so !

pletely exterminating the disease
comes from the fact that a horse
may be infected and not show it
noticeably for two to four years.
Many times the owner will be
aware of its presence; but, rather
than have the animal condemned
and receive only part of its value
from the state treasury, he VIII
wait for an opportunity to sell the
horse.

Death Of Little Christina Fuhrer.

ing the plug from the waShtub which
was full of scalding water. Our
informant gave the child as "a boy

girl, Christina by name, Youngest
daughter of Jacob Fuhrer. The lit
tie one was one year, three months
and twelve..days old. The accident
happened on Thursday. Nov. 18th,
at 10 O'Clock a. M. and the baby
died at 3 a. M. Friday. the 18th.
She was buried on Saturday. the
18th. at ? p. M, in the cemetery of
the Congregational church, nine
miles northwest of Herreid, S. d.
The Reformed Church pastor from
Artas, S. D., conducted the funeral
services. The funeral was largely
attended. The parents. MIR. and
Mrs. Jacob Fuhrer. reside about
nine miles southwest of Hague.
The mother was washing her first
lot of clothes when the little one
pulled the stopper from the ma
chine. The scalding water gushed
out. burning the child's face and
chest so severely that recovery was
impossible. The deepest sympathy
is felt for the bereaved parents.

was the blaze at the Gordon home
late Wednesday evening.
In the kitchen of Mr.. Gordon's
house the cook-stove is placed with
in few inches of the wall, and it
was from the cook-stove that the
house caught fire. Mrs. Gordon
and the four boys had retired for
the night and Mr.. Gordon was de-
tanned down town. At about 1910
o'clock Mrs. Gordon, who was
sleeping in a room off of the parlor,
was awakened by smoke coming
from the kitchen. She hastily arose
and went into the kitchen. where
the walls and ceiling around the
stove were burning. She then went
to get bucket Of water, and when
she returned she could scarcely get
into the house to awaken the boys,
who were sleeping in room off of
the kitchen. When she did get
into the bedroom she found that
the flames had penetrated there
and that the boys hair and clothing
had already been scorched, though
they were all asleep. She hastily
awakened her children and, after
raising a window for their escape,
was forced to tear off a screen with
her burned hands. Three of the
boys - Clarence, aged fourteen
years: Eddie, eleven; Walter, six
and Mrs. Gordon, finally got out
of the window, after sustaining
many painful and serious burns. 1t
was then discovered that Stanley, a
little fellow eight years old, was
missing. He had managed to run
and crawl through the thickest of
the fire and get out of the kitchen
door, but his body was badly burned
and his clothing was all aflame. Mrs.
Gordon. in her desperation, made
her way back into the house through
the window to look for him, and in
so doing nearly lost her life. She
finally again got out and fell ex-
hausted. By this time the fire was
discovered by others and help ar
rived from all quarters. Stanley's
hair and clothing we're still on fire
when men first got there. Mrs.
Gordon and the children were taken
to the home Of E. r. Stout, where
medical attention was given them.
The chemical engine was soon at
the scene of the fire, and the work
it did could not be surpassed. Fire
was in five rooms of the house, but
soon after the chemical was turned
on it was under control.
The damage to house and furni-
ture is easily $500, and the insurance
expired about month ago.
Mrs. Gordon and the children
have been provided rooms by Mr..
and Mrs. Chilcott, and Beulah Payne
and Mrs. Whitchurch installed as
nurses. All of the patients except
Clarence are badly burned, though
Mrs. Gordon and Stanley are suffer
ing the most.
