Valley City. N. D., Aug. 24.-Herb
Weston, who owns and operates the
farm known as the Stevens farm in
the north part of the county, is con-
templating making many improve
ments on that beautifully located
farm. The Bald Hill creek empties
into the Sheyenne river just north of
his buildings and he is figuring on
putting in a dam across the mouth of
the creek. He stated he finds a real
good fall and will be able to develop
an excellent water power. He expects
to put in q large motor connection
with dynamoes, making his own cleo
tricity, and will do all farm work by
electric power. He will also irrigate
from the said dam about $50 acres OF
fine bottom land. When these i'm
provements are completed he will in

HOW DAKOTA
TOWNS GROW

Napoleon Homestead: The writer
visited Wishek and Ashley on tele-
phone business this week. This was
our first VISIT to Ashley for the past
eight years, and since the remarkable
growth Of that town we felt ourselves
almost entire strangers here. Twenty
two years ago we made weekly visits
there In the capacity Of mail carrier
from here to that place and then knew
Marty everyone in the county. 1t is
different now. About the only familiar
faces Of those days we saw there this
week who. were in Ashley county
twenty years ago were ]. FL. Wishek,
Herbert Lartmer, Fred Heiss, Sheriff
and ''Skiddoo" Nelson. We
noticed that the residence Of Glare
johnson, the little drug store building
of j. A. Bjornson and the meat market
building put up by Lamotte Miles
are still standing, the last two build
ings now being occupied as telephone
offices of the Dakota Central and the
Farmers Union. Ashley is now a
town Of about 900 people and contains
many pretty homes. We were pleased

the width of the streets and avenues,
the numerous grain elevators and the
apparent prosperity and contentment
of it's enterprising citizens. Among
other things, the town has an excel
lent school building-like the one at
Wishek-and one we would be proud
of at Napoleon. The, county superin-
tendent of schools, e. T. Clyde, is a
wideawake school officer and is taking
great interest in the extension and
advancement of Mcintosh county
schools. J. G. Anderson of this place
is rebuilding and improving the tele-
phone system of the town. We were
told that some wheat had heen
threshed in that vicinity that averaged
twenty bushels per acre and that the
average FOR the locality would be about
eight or ten bushels per acre.

A G. N. TRAIN
GOES into Ditch
NO. 2 WRECKED AT cUTBANK,
MoNT-RAlLs GONE FROM
TRAcKs-oFFIcIALs
INVESTIGATING.

Minot, N. D., Aug. 24.-Two rails
missing from the track east of Cut
bank, Mont. caused wreck OF No. q
yesterday on the Great Northern and
the division officials are investigating
the cause.
4 While bowling along at good speed
No. struck the bad track The en-
gineer saw 1t in time to shut off
steam, but too late to avoid an ac-
cident. Both the engineer and fire.
man jumped. The engine, tender and
mail cars were ditehed Five of the
passengers were badly shaken up, but
no deaths are reported.
Conflicting stories are told concern
ing the wreck. The engineer claims
that he was not tagged, while it is
understood that the section foreman
avows that he sent flagman out to
stop the train.
]. r. Ryan, a travelling man who
was passenger on the train, said
this morning: 1T was lucky wreck.
If speed had not been slackened when
1t was the whole train would have
been ditched and the passengers could
not have escaped with the slight in
juries sustained in this case. We were
all badly shaken up but thank our
lucky stars that it was no worse. I
know nothing as to the primary cause
but saw the place where the rails were
missing"

SAMPSON GETS
5 YEARS in PEN
HENRY SAMPSON PLEADS GUILTY
TO ASSAuLTING DAUGHTER
AND Is SENTENCED.

Minot, N. d., Aug 24.-Henry samp-
son of Ryder was sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary at Bismarck
by Judge Goss. Sampson was arrested
by Sheriff Sorenson Saturday, charged
with assaulting his stepdaughter, Anna
Numedahl. He waived preliminary
examination and stated that he wished
to plead guilty at once as he was
anxious to have the case disposed OF.
He appeared before Judge Goss and
entered a plea Of guilty, requesting
that sentence be deferred until today
The girl Is scarcely IA years of age
and is in a critical condition. The
mother and children were on their way
to a claim In Canada when the au-
thorities notified States Attorney Nash
Of the condition OF the girl. Mrs.
Sampson and the Numedahl girl were
detained as witnesses and the father
placed under arrest. Much sympathy
is felt for all concerned.

WELL EARNED Land
YIELDS so BUSHELS
FARMER NEAR NEW ENGLAND
WHO EARNED RIGHT SHOWS
THE NEEGHBoRS THAT
IA PAYS,

New England, N. D., Aug. 24.-Ow-
ing to wet weather the latter part of
last week threshing operations have
been somewhat delayed and as yet it
is impossible to give any estimate Of
the yield in this locality. From the few
who have threshed reports show that
wheat Is averaging from ten to thirty
bushels to the acre. Oscar Strehlow
had sixty-f1ve acres that went fifteen
bushels while the balance of his 1870
acres did a little better than twelve
and one-half bushels Theo. Guten-
sohn in the same section had eighty
acres Of wheat that yelled little bet
ter than ten bushels. w. S. Gallup re-
ports that his wheat averaged four
teen bushels throughout. The best re-
port comes from A. Hort, who lives
seven miles south of town. From forty
acres he threshed 1,195 bushels Of hard
wheat lacking just FIVE bushels on the
whole field of averaging thirty BUSH
els to the acre. Mr.. HORT summer
faIlowed the land, disced it twice last
fall and twice again in the spring. The
land was in prime condition when he
seeded and the crop shows that thor
ough farming is the kind that pays.

Wtlliston, N. D., Aug. 24.--Roy l..
Freeman a courageous young gentle-
man OF Providence, r. T., is making a
river trip from Fort Benton, Mont. to

here 1t is the first attempt OF any one
to make the trip to the gulf by canoe

he had no trouble in the trip from Fort
Benton to Williston and he felt just as
safe in his well equipped canoe pad

MAINTAINED LONELY WATCH
Robert Miller Used Dippsr to Guard
Six Cans of Live Fish.

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 24.-With
q dipper in one hand Robert Miller, an
old time Great Northern conductor
kept watch over six cans of black bass
and perch which he was transporting
from Fish lake, this state, to Edin-
burg. Ali night Long Miller main
tanned his lonely watch with his dip
per, every so often dipping into the
water containing the fish, raising it
full OF water for few inches only
to pour 1t back in again
From the time No. arrived in the
City Monday evening until the train
bound for Edinburg departed this
morning, Mr.. Miller maintained this
round of work, being obliged to do so
in order to keep his charges alive I'M
til they should be placed in Hougo
lake, a small body of water near Edin-
burg. 1t was lonesome watch but
was quite necessary to the welfare of
the fish, the process of dipping into
the water and pouring it through the
air from time to time being the only
manner in which they could be kept
alive, as the water must be kept NOV
ing about more or less.
Mr.. Miller is connected with the
state fish hatchery Of which Captain
Main Is the head, and is decidedly in
terested in the success of the institu-
ton. Requests from all parts of the
state are being received for Ash, and
these are being complied with as
rapidly as possible. The work Of
stocking the lakes and waters of the
state with fish is no small one, and
1t will take number of years to
bring about complete success.

NO DETECTIVES
FORR ABERDEEN ABERDEEN

Aberdeen, S. D., Aug. 24.--After the
most bitter municipal campaign in
years, the voters Of Aberdeen, at a
special election yesterday, rejected the
ordinance fathered by Mayor Rock,
creating city detective bureau, by a
vote Of 1913 against the ordinance to
/ 502 for the ordinance. DR.. H. ]. Rock,
! democrat. was elected mayor over A N.
! AIdrich, republican, at the city election
last May by a majority of close to 500
out Of total vote Of 2,400. The chief
OF police under Mayor Aldrich was
Charles E. zirbes. Zirbes became quite
unpopular and shortly before election
resigned and ostensibly left the city.
He was an issue in the campaign, how
ever, the opponents to Mayor Aldrich
claiming that If Aldrtch was reelected
he would reappoint Zirbcs.
Shortly after Dr. Rock was elected,
Zirbes returned. and was appointed to
q place on the police force as a plain
clothes man. 1t was found the mayor
did not possess the power, under the
Ecity ordinances, to make such a posi-
ton permanent, and the friends OF the
mayor and of Zirbes ON the council
then passed an ordinance creating a
city detective bureau. Mayor Rock
thereupon appointed Zirbes chief of
detectives with the same salary as that
received by the chief Of police. A refer
endum petition was presented, asking
the mayor and council to submit the
new ordinance 10 referendum cleo
ton Mayor Rock threw the petition
out on a technically. The council
later took the matter up, accepted the
petition and called special election,
Which was held yesterday. resulting in
the defeat OF the ordinance During
the campaign numerous affidavits re-
lating to Zirbes alleged shortcomings
as an officer, and counter affidavtts re-
hecting upon the moral character of
the men signing the anti-Zirbes ordi-
nance were printed in the local papers.

N. D. PARTY in
WRECKED LAUNCH
POUNDED BY WAVES - RESCUE
WAS ONLY EFFECTED HY
LONE FISHERMAN.

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 24.-Hung
of the Woods, Mimi, Mr.. and Mrs. H.
d. ALERT Of Langdon, N. D.. and the
members Of their party came nearly
being drowned before fisherman, Ed
NymilIer, rescued them. Mr.. ALERT and
his party were in Grand Forks en-
route home and told of their harrow
ing experience at the Minnesota lake
Together with Mr.. and Mrs. G. E.
Johnson and Miss Daisy ALERT Of
L4andgon, and Mrs. E. ID. Reilly OF
Dresden, N. D., Mr.. and Mrs. ALERT
were going from Warroad to Beau
dette in a forty-flve foot launch owned
by James Russell. About twenty
miles from Warroad and a mile and
a half from shore they struck rock
that was projecting to within two feet
of the surface.
With q high wind prevailing the
launch was buffeted about on the
rock for two hours. Members of the
party had buckled life preservers on
themselves and were ready at almost
any moment to take to the water, as
the boat was rapidly being pounded
to pieces on the rock. At this time
Nyn1fIIer discovered the trouble from
shore and Immediately set out, and JUST
reached the imperiled party in time
to save them from death in the lake.
as it would have been impossible for
them to have reached the shore.
Within radius Of fifteen miles
from the place where the accident
took place there was only one settler
the fisherman whose attention they
were able to attract. In view of this
fact the members OF the party consider
their escape a miracle.
During the two hours that-the party
was hung UP on the rock, every one
realized the dangerous position they
were in,4 ana under the circumstances
all took the event calmly and there
was little difficulty on that score. Mr..
ALERT, in discussing the affair, stated
that It was about as close q call as
ne ever cared to experience, and IL it
had not been for the lone fishrman in
the district they surely would have
persisted.
On reaching the shore and after the
terrible strain was over, Mrs. ALERT
became very I'll. The party went to
Fort Francis and remained there sew
eral days because OF Mrs. AIlert's
condition, but when she recovered
they went to a point near international
Falls, where they remained a few days
enjoying camp life.
Mr.. ALERT is a very well known resi-
dent of Langdon, being a business as
sociate of the late w. j. Mooney, who
met death in the collision of the
steamer Republic near New York about
a year and half ago. He is a pioneer
Of Langdon. Mr.. Johnson is
his business associate.
