who has been at the hospital for care
since Tuesday night, trying to take
his life, by cutting his throat with
a safety razor blade, just after a
nurse had left the room after admin.

A deep cash was inflicted upon one
side of the throat, and Masters lost
considerable blood, but he was found
less than fifteen minutes after by the
nurse, still conscious. 1t took four
people to control the delirious pat
lent, but he was overcome and the
wound dressed. He is now resting,
and has good chance for recovery.

Jamestown HAIL CO.
IS IN GOOD SHAPE

jamestown, Jan. 15.-The annual
meeting of the Alliance Hail associa.
ton was held at the Home Office of
the company, in Jamestown, We'd
nesday. The secretary's report
showed a very large and very sue
cessful business for the past year.
Over 5000 policies were issued,
amounting to $5,277,207.71. The
losses were very heavy, amounting
to $244,256.32. The losses were paid
very promptly, an 80 per cent pay
ment being made several weeks be-
fore due and the balance Dec. list.
These figures show very large gain
in the amount Of insurance, being
81 300 900 more than that of any
previous year and clearly entities the
company to the claim of being the
leading company III the state.

GOOD MEAT IS ESSENTIAL
At this DAY and AGE

The most important part Of the
food stuffs today is good meat, and
it is an important question to solve
if good meat can be bought, the
butcher of today is compelled to keep
and feed cattle-and meats of all nature
from seven to eight months, because
the farmer of North Dakota does not
feed stock on grain, which is mis-
take.
Geo. Gussner, a local butcher and
grocery man, has had this experience,
he is compelled to buy cattle and
grain fatten them to meet the demand
Of the public for good meat. Mr..
Gussner is at present feeding a large
number of cattle that he bought six
or seven months ago, and in the near
future will give to the people of Bis.
marck and vicinity the best meat that
can be bought.

John J. Ruegg. Although originally
a silk manufacturer, he abandoned
commercial life many years ago that
he might devote all his time to the
study Of scientific agriculture. When
young man, in Switzerland, he had
become possessed of the idea that
the luxuriant vegetation existing in
the vicinity of the volcanic noun
tains was due to the fact that the
soil was particularly rich in mineral
elements which it had absorbed from
the lava flows, and it Is upon this
principle, and nothing else, that he
is now working.
1t was for that very reason that
Mr.. Ruegg selected this farm, how.
ever. He believed that worn out and
sour soil was simply soil from which
the necessary minerai elements had
been extracted by the successive
crops that had been raised in it. To
restore the qualities Of fertility to
such soil-if his theory was correct
it would only be necessary to restore
the mineral elements that the vege-
tation had extracted, and this he pro-
ceeded to do.
His first step was to analyze the
soil, to ascertain what mineral ele-
ments were lacking. Then, he sup
piled these in the form of powdered
lava brought from one of the vol
canoes and mixed with the manure
which he used in moderate quanti-
ties. At present, the soil has had
three seasons Of such fertilization,
and the magnificent crops that have
been raised this year are the result

Lava" in January Technical World
Magazine.

:MARMARTA TO HAVE
new RAILROAD

Marmarth, N. D.. Jan. 14.-The
Northern Pacific has finished it's pre-
linMnary survey work in this section
and has decided on route through
the bad lands for the new coast cut
off. After running fifty preliminary
lines through the bad lands between
this point and a point twenty-five
miles north of here, eight Of which
touched Marmarth, a decision was
reached few weeks ago which will
take them through here parallel to
the Milwaukee.
From 100 to 140 men have worked
in this vicinity on these surveys for
months, with the engineers Office To-
Gated here. The survey calls for a
line through the bad lands, with a0.3
per cent grade, some of the heavier
railroad work ever did in this coun
try will be necessary. The will cross
the Little Missouri river at this point
at an elevation of 210 feet above the
water, making necessary a bridge
nearly a mile in length. It is estimat
ed that their line for the ten miles
through the bad ands near this point
will cost about 100000 and will
consume three years to build.
Assurance has reached this city
that the Milwaukee will start work
this year on their proposed line from
this city to Rapid City, S. D., over
200 miles in length, surveys for which
were made last year.
The Milwaukee ehas large improve
ments in view this year for the bet
terment OF their line east and west OF
here, which wark will start as soon
as the frost is out of the ground in
the spring. Fifteen crews will be put
to work hauling gravel, and it is ex'
.pected to raise the entire TRANSMITS
souri, division nine inches. Large i'm
provements in terminal facilities, n
order to handle fast increasing bust
ness, win also make an immense
amount of work. Through passenger
service will be established some time
during the summer.

Literary Notes
LlPPINCOTTS AND THE NEW
YEAR.

With the dawn OF the new year,
the magazine worl& puts it's best foot
forward, and proceeds to fulfill pro-
misses made in enticing forecasts of
good things to come. One OF the
most interesting of cheese 1910 publ
cations is the January Lippincott's,
which doesn't at all suffer by com
parison with it's misunderstanding
Christmas issue. The complete
novel is THE Heaven Of the Unex-
pected," by Lucy Meacham Thurston.
This writer's name is comparatively
unknown to the reading public, but
any one who can write stories so alb
sorbing as 1.-The Heaven Of the I'm
expected" is not likely to remain un
known long. The scenes are laid in
New York and in the Southern
mountainous region. The character
drawing is cleverly done, and the To-
cal color excellent. The author has
a rather unusual, tense style of writ
Ing which grips the reader and quite
refuses to let go.
A most important feature is the
first of a series of articles on "What
is Wrong with Our Public Schools. .
The author is Joseph NJ. Rogers, who
some time ago contributed series
called Educating Our Boys" to this
magazine Mr.. Rogers spent many
months acquiring data for these
papers, and they are both interest
ing and informative. The school.
house even more than the battle
ship, is the bulwark of our nation,
and, whether you have children of
your own or not, you will find in this
series much to inceres- you, much
to make you think.

A NEW SECRET OF NATURE.

There is a man at Clifton, N. j.,
who seems to have discovered the
secret of perfect vegetation. On a
little ten-acre farm he is raising
flowers that might we'll be the envy
of any florist, fruits and shrubs that
would put the most successful nur-
seryman to the blush, and vegetables
that are so much larger and sweeter
than those that other farmers in
that neighborhood can raise that il
is difficult to find words with which
to compare them. Moreover, though
these fruits and flowers and vege-
tables may be examined ever so
closely, no sign of insect or parasitic
life can be found upon them. On
other farms, peach trees are suffer
ing from scales; spinach is blighted;
bugs swarm over the potato vines;
corn is wormy, and cabbage is eaten
by lice. None of these evidences of
destruction exists on this farm. In
stead the twelve-feet high corn
stalks produce ears of corn of alb
normal size and weight; tomatoes
are grown that are alfost big enough
to fill a quart measure, and every
thing else bears similar evidence to
freedom from those pests that ordi-
narily prove so destructive to vege-
tation.
The man who has produced these
wonders-who claims to have dis
covered this secret of Nature-is

Chicago, Jan. 14.-(SpeciaD- Miss
Bertha Fischer, a teacher in the
Marquette school, appeared before
Judge Bretano yesterday to respond
to charge that she had permanently
! injured one of her former pupils by
q kick on the hip.
The suit was brought by the par
ents of Julia Rabinowitz, II years
old. The girl wears an iron frame
on her right leg. Surgeons who
have attended her will be called to
testify that she is suffering with tu-
berculosis Of the hip joint. She asks
$1,000 damage.
The Rabinowitz girl says that Miss
Fischer pulled her hair and kicked
her on May 26, 1906, because she
failed to solve a problem on the
blackboard. Lawrence Wilensky, 10
years old. testified to the alleged as.

Thirty boys and girls were present
and two of them appeared as witness

Keokuk, Ia, Jan. 14.-(SpeciaD -
The embrace of young man, fol-
lowed by incessant teasing on the
part of girl companions, while at
work, caused pretty 2O-year-old Lny
Nygren, daughter of S. P. Nygren,
to become insane.
These facts were disclosed in the
application to the Lee county insan-

gren committed to the state institu-
ton at Mount Pleasant. She is in
critical condition and the strictest
watch is kept for fear she will at

Miss Nygren was employed in

she was playfully embraced against
her will by young man working
by her side. Seeing Miss Nygren's
resentment, several of her girl COM

BILLION TAX REPORTED TO
THE GOVERNOR

Gals of the Pittsburg-S Silver Peak com
pany, and others, and later directed
the terms upon which these corpora
tions should settle with the state and
county for delinquent bullion taxes. In
the matter of the Goldfeld Consolidated
Mines company this office has pursued
identically the same purse as with the
other erring corporations. What caused
this change on the part of District At
torney Tilden this office is not in a
position to state. The fact remains that
the Goldfeld Consolidated company con-
tinues to render statements which, in
the opinion of this Office, are unfair to
the other taxpayers of Nevada, and by
which they are evadIng the payment of
thousands of dollars in bullion taxes
Nj. Haley's figures, summarized by
quarters, is as follows:

have just been completed, ana All
these will add their production to the
figures for 1910. There is an increased
interest in Nevada mines of late, and
this is directly attributable to the
splendid productive and dividend rec
ord of the mines. This interest adds
to mining development in constantly
increasing ratio, and it is a safe pro-
duction that when the figures for l9lo
are compiled, Nevada will show a pro-
duction Of more than $40,O00, 0oo-
possibly $50, 900 ,00o-and that the pro
duetion for the closing months of the
year will show that the mines OF the
state are giving up wealth at the rate
of more than $4,000, 900 per month.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1910-04-30

AS will be seen by some of the
counties, there is a seeming discrepancy
whereas the expenses are greater than
the value of the ores, hence no net
profit shows and YET there is bullion
tax-which is collected upon net profits,
This is explained by the fact that the
net profit made by individual companies
or operators is what the taxes are based
upon. Expenses of developing mines,
sinking shafts, hosting machinery,
clerical expenses, etc., are all assessed
against the expense account. mus
where there may be, for instance, one
company in a camp making a net profit
OF 100000 per year, and paying bull
ION taxes upon the same, another COM
pany many be doing nothing but de-
veiopment work, practically, n its
expenses in getting out a few tons OF
those two mines, when put together,
would show 100000 greater expenses
than net profit, and yet bullion tax
paid on 100000.
When it is remembered that through
out the state there are thousands of
properties yet in the prospect stage up
On which an aggregate of hundreds of
thousands of dollars are being spent
the production is startling in its proof
Oh the extent and immensely of mining
operations in the sagebrush state. IL
iaet, that the state produced $4,000,
ooo more in 1909 than in 1908, is visua
proof of the immense amount of actua
mine development in progress through
OUT the state, and new work is start
ing ON a much more extensive seal
than was noticeable in 1909 at thi
uine. Half a score of new mills are be
ing constructed throughout the state, o
