STRIKE WATER IN
ARTESIAN WELL
CITY ENGINEER ANDERs STRUCK
ABUNDANT FLOW OF WATER IN
NEW MUNICIPAL ARTESiAN
WELL AT 24o FEET IN FOUR
FEET OF SAND.

Water was struck at / o'clock this
afternoon in the new city artesian
well at depth OF $40 feet. Word was
received from the city engineer that
there appeared to be an abundant
flow of fine and pure water, found In
about four feet Of sand.
When the first report reached the
city, they were not through pumping
the water in the new we'll yet The
water on first examination was pro-
nounced exceptionally fine and clean.
All connected with the work of the
drilling are greatly pleased with the
success of the undertaking.
Il am more than pleased with the
result" said City Engineer Anders,
when asked about the matter by a
Forum representative this afternoon.
Il have had great faith in the under
taking despite the many discouraging
remarks the department has received
from many who doubted that we
would be successful This new well
will do much toward remedying the
city's present water conditions"
From the first, when the council first
ordered the drilling of the well, the
idea was believed by many to be i'm
practical. This was due to the fact
that number of attempts had been
made at various times in the city's
history to sink arteslan wells in the
same vicinity. The department had
confidence in the success OF the pro-
ject and persevered and in only lit
tie time has succeeded where others
have failed
All the city officials and members
of the city council are gratified with
Mr.. Anders' success and glad to know
there will now be an additional means
of supplying water to the city during
the winter months, and something to
rely on in case Of the freezing of the
Red river, which might have been al
together probable had not the i'm
pounding reservoir been built.

SHORTAGE IN POTATOES
Total for United States Thirty Million
Bushels Less Than Last
Year.

According to a Chicago potato mar
ket report the total potato crop in the
United States for 1910 is 285,000, 900
bushels, or considerably short of a
bumper yield.
The area under potatoes is estimat.
ed at 3,122,000 acres, or slightly less
than a year ago, many farmers re-
ducing their acreage, owing to poor
prices. The rate of yield is set at an
average of 191 bushels to the acre.
Three groups of states make up
what is popularity known as the mer-
charitable surplus Of potatoes for au-
tumn and winter markets. The first
of these comprises Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa and Minnesota. According to
the Agriculturist, this group in the
central west shows up in 1910 with a
material shortage compared with last
years really liberal yield, which, as a
matter of fact, was underestimated by
the Agriculturist itself last August
The shortage in the central west is
due to the serious drought west of
Lake Michigan. This drought, while
relieved late in the growing section,
did not permit full recovery. Many
sections which ordinarily are shippers
of potatoes win this year buy from the
more fortunate localities.
The total production in Minnesota
for 1910 is placed at 6,144,000 bushels
against $4,000, 600 in 1909, and in North
Dakota 1,17O,0O0 bushels. In the middle
northern states the product was a lit
tie larger this year than last. In the
New England group of states 1t was
about the same.

the stiffness of coal mine, where the
miles of erosscuts and entries and the
unyielding walls swallow up all
sounds and echo, in silence that is
complete; but, as one becomes ac-
customed to the silence through long,
hours of solitary work, sound becomes
audible that would escape an ear less
trained. The trickling murmur of the
gas; the scattering fall of a lump of
coal, loosened by some mysterious
force from Granny in the wall; the
sudden knocking and breaking of a
stratum far up In the rock above; or
the seurry of a rat OFF somewhere in
the darkness strike on the ear loud
and startlingly. The eye, too. becomes
trained to penetrate the darkness; but
the darkness is so complete that there

SCHOOL FUNDS HAVE
BEEN APPORTIONED
NOVEMBER APPoRTIoNMENT is
ALWAYS SMALLEST or
THE YEAR.

Bismarck. N, D., Nov 25.--The No
vember apportionment of the state
school funds has been made and shows
a per capita apportionment Of IL cents.
The November apportionment is all
ways the smallest of the year, and
while the 1910 figure is small, 1t is not
the smallest that has ever been made,
as in 1904 only 10 cents was the per
capita and in 1901 there was no APP
portionment made in November at all
The total apportionment to this period
was s21.949.94, and the total enumera-
ton was 1901 The apportionnent
In November has in years past run
as high as rs cents. The figures are
low this year or account Of the slow
collections and the next apportionment
will probably be larger for the reason
that many OF the deferred payments
will have been made at that time.

JURY COULD NOT
AGREE ON VERDICT
DISAGREEMENT IN MEEHAN CASE
mo LIKELIHOOD OF RETRlAL
BEFORE SPRING TERM, AS NEW
vENlRE WOULD HAVE TO BE
CALLED.

After aelieera,sns, for more than
twenty -four hours the jury in the case
of Peter MeeAan reported to Judge
Taylor last evening that there was no
possibility OF their reaching verdict
for the reason that there existed a
hopeless disagreement. The court ex-
pressed regret, and after thanking
them for their services the jury was
discharged.
1t Is said that the complexion of the
jury was nine for conviction and three
for acquittal and that was practically
the position of the jury from beginning
to end.
The defendant was charged with
robbery in the first degree and grand
larceny in the first degree, arising out
of complaint made by one Harry
Skarrow, who alleged the defendant,
with his bartender, Steve Rice, held
him UP in the Meehan saloon and
robbed him of $140.. A factor in the
case was that the reputation of the
complaining witness is not of the best.
nor is that that of the principal wit
mes called to corroborate him was a
stranger and somewhat of fioater
IL is thought that these facts had
considerable weight with some of the
jury in their considering the credibillty
of all their testimony. AS Judge Tay-
Tor cannot give any more time to this
county, he will have to leave next week
so that it is likely the Meehan case
will not be retired during this term,
nor will the Rice case be tried, as a
new jury would have to be impaneled.
Most of the veniremen not engaged
heard much Of the evidence in the
Meehan case.

ket opened at sharp decline with
scattered selling by overnight longs.
The buying being generally by COM
mission houses on resting orders. The
market ruled within a narrow range
and showed very little rallying power.
Outside markets were some weaker
than our own. 1t seems as If the Ar

losing its market effect. Where the

rather difficult to imagine, but we be-
Iieve that wheat on it's merits is too

a merry fight on for the location of
the temporary county seat of the new
county of Divide formed at the recent
election from part of Williams
county. The first OF the week there
was a delegation here from Crosby
trying to impress the governor with
the desirability of Crosby as the seat
of government, and Wednesday there
was delegation here from Ambrose
to present arguments as to why COM
missioners should be appointed who
would name their town the county
seat. AS the governor has not re-
ceived notice of the official division
of the county. he cannot name the
commissioners as vet. There have not
been any delegations from the coun-
ties formed out Of part Of Billings

GETS CERTIFICATE OF ELECTION.
Judge c. A. Nye Receives the Final
Act of the Election.

Act OF the ElecTlons
In his mail this morning Judge Nye
received from the secretary of state
his credentials which will entitle him
to assume judicial robes and take his
seat as one of the judges of the Sew
enth judicial district. The document
received by Mr.. Nye was the certifi-
cate of election showing by the votes
that he was the choice of the people
for the high office to which he aspired.
The new judge will take is seat the
first Monday in the new year.
For several years Mr., Nye has been
resident director of the state normal
school, receiving his appointment at
the hands of the late Governor john
son. His term expires at the end of
the present year, but considering his
election to the bench Judge Nye has
submitted his resignation as member
of the normal school board, to take
effect at once. The judge says he did
it so that Governor Eberhart could
make a new appointment, as 1t is i'm
portant for the new member, whoever
he may be, to sit at the coming meet
ing Of the board when the budgets for
the normal schools viii be considered
and the necessary appropriations de-
cided upon for presentation to the
legislature in January. Who Mr.. Nye's
successor will be is a guess, but 1t will
probably be one of two men who are
both good fellows, and according to
report thHY are the only two names
before the executive.
