AN ICE FACTORY.

The people of st. Martinville
have long felt the need and neces-
sity of an ice factory here. A fac
tory here would give us cheaper
ice aud would insure a plentiful
supply at all times, and it is an
industry that would keep our mo-
ney at home, as such factory
would give employment to several
of our home people who are in
need of home work.
We learn that last week gen.
tleman from Houma was here to
interest some of our people in all
ice factory, but we could not learn
his plans or what was his success.
We have, however, learned that q
firm from Jennings would be here
in a very few days to look mp the
situation with view to at once
erect al ice plant.
There was some talk last year of
adding an ice plant to the Bailey
ginnery, but we have not heard
about it lately.
We believe the opening here is
a good for a factory, as this town
has a population of about three
thousand people, with a large sur
rounding country and large num-
Der of small towns around that
could be supplied from this plant.
If we look around us we will
ind that many smaller towns have
successful ice plants, why
should not st. Martinville make q
success with a fifteen ton plant :
We are satisfied that plant OF
this kind III the hands of the pro.
per management would be a pay
Ing enterprise.

A COMMON COLD.

We claim that il catching cold could be
avoided some Of the most dangerous and
fatal diseases would never be heard OF.
A cold often forms culture bed for
germs of infectious diseases. COnsump-
ton, pneumonia, dipiheria and scarlet
fever, four of the most dangerous and
fatal diseases, are Of this class. The cul.
ture bed formed by the cold favOrs the
development Of the germs of these dis
eases. that would not otherwise find
Judgment. There is little danger, how
ever, of any of these diseases being cOn-
tracted when a good expectOrant cough
medicine like Chamberlain's Cough Re-
medy is used. 1t cleans out these cul-
ture beds that favor the development Of
the germs of these diseases. That 10 why
this remedy has proved so universally
successful in preventing pneumonia. 1t
not only cures your cold quickly, but
minimizes the risk Of contracting these
dangerous diseases. For sale by all

Paul Guerin will learn with plea
sure that since he left us he has
been working for advancement
and his work being so satisfactory,
that promotion was sure to follow.
Paul has been employed by the
Dalton Electrical Co.. of Meridian,
Miss, the largest concern of its
kind in Mississippi. Last week
the Company has established a
branch at Hattiesburg, Miss, with
Paul as manager, which speaks
high for the young man, but is
not a surprise to his home friends,
as Paul is a bright boy and was
always attentive to his duties,

Fatal Shooting.

A Breaux Bridge special to The
Picayune, dated Feb. Goth says ::
"A grewsome killing occurred
tonight on the Southern Pacific
barge Harlan, which is the head
quarters for large gang of men
who are completing the Southern
Pacific's Atchafalaya bridge. The
unfortunate affair was the outcome
of a dispute over the ownership of
a mosquito bar between two of the
men, Ed. Hodges, from Illinois, q
years old, and August Smoker, a
German, Al years old.
Hodges fired three times at close
range into Smokers body with a
41-caliber pistol, causing instant
death. Hoges was perfectly sober,
and in his statement to your cor
respondent, very cody given, he
cannot account for the rash act,
although be bears on his forehe cad
scalp wound, which he says must
have been administered by the
dead man.
Hodges was in a kneeling posi-
ton when he realized what lie had
done. The co-laborers and the
boss of the men state that both
were unassuming and quiet and
attentive to their duties. Hodges
was given to the custody of Sheriff
A. E. Broussard, who sent him to
the Parish Jail at St. Martinville.

An Electric Road in Oliver County.

Manning, N. D, Jan. 4.-The
Hazen Center, New Salem Electric
Line, is the name of the newest
railroad to be built from Hazen to
New Salem.
The line will parallel the north
branch of the N. P. extension,
which is now being constructed.
Representatives of the company
are laying out a route after which
the matter of a right of way will
be taken up and surveyors put to
work. It is reported that the
company have planned to build a
large power house at Center and
make that place division point.
A proposed line from Mandan
to Manning is exciting consider
able comment and interest at the
present time. It appears that the
inland towns of Hazen, Mercer
county, Center, Oliver county, and
Manning, Dunn county, have CIV
en- up hope of getting an outlet for
their products from the N. P. ex-
tension which is building up the RI
yer. As work on the N. p. branch
progresses the farmers are turning
this new project with hopes that it
will serve their requirement.
Things along the line of the
Hazen Center Electric road are
progressing. Maps Of the pro-
posed route are being drawn from
which blue prints are to be made
and as soon as the prints get back
work in earnest will be commenc-
ed. The matter Of running the
line will be a very small one and
will not consume much time.
This road expects to have q
freight franchise which will make
it pay from the moment opera
tions are begun.

WARNED AGAINST
The JURY FIXERS
The Forum Gives Part of Talk
Given by the Judge to the
Jurors.

Federal court is being held in
Fargo this week and Judge Ami
don gave the jurors talk at the
opening Of court which is of inter-
est to many.
"There are important cases on
the calendar and jurymen should
not be influenced after their ar
rival here. If anyone should talk
to you with the idea of influencing
you, that fact should at once be
reported to the court. You are en-
titled to the protection of the
court and it is your duty to report
any attempt to prejudice you. 1t
is serious violation of the law
and should be dealt with as such. =
This was a portion Of the state
ment Of Judge Charles F. Amidon
to the jurymen who reported fol
duty at the adjourned May term OF
the United States circuit and dis
trict courts, southern division, dis.
trict Of North Dakota, which
opened at the federal building on
Monday morning.
The court made it plain that
any attempt at ''jury-fxing'
would be dealt with according tc
law. The ofense is serious and
every juryman was impressed with
the fact that it was his duty to re.
port to the court, any attempt tc
: influence or prejudice him in any
way.
In referring to the inconven.
ience Of jury duty, the judge
stated that he was fully aware that
business might have to suffer.

nothing else to do. There is nc

would be entertained by the court
for excusing members Of the panel

be entertained by the judge.

LES THE MISSOURI
Considerable Riprapping to be Done
at Deapo1s and Expansion BY
Government.

w. j. Maulding, government
civil engineer, was in Washburn
this week and in conversation
with him he stated that he had
come to inspect the banks of the
Missouri river. He expects to
soon let contracts for material for
500 feet of revetment at Deapolis
and the same at Expansion. Mr..
Maulding has just returned from
Ft. Benton where $500 worth of
revetment has just been complet-
ed.
The new Northern Pacific exten.
sion north of Mandan is built
along the Missouri and in many
places the track is right on the
bank and considerable riprapping
will have to be put in all along the
way to protect the track.
The bank here at Washburn has
been caving in very rapidly and
where there had been room a few
years ago, for large storehouses,
there is now just narrow path.
The boat landings have been fixed
up but only for very short dist
ance and it is hoped the govern
ment will assist in riprapping the
banks near Washburn and vicinity
and keep the good work up that
has been started on the Missis-
sippi river.

Death Of Samuel Johnson In Fargo.

Death Of Samuel Johnson In Fargo.
Mrs. j. M. Anderson and Axel
johnson were called to Fargo on
Monday by a telegram stating the
death of their brother Samuel.
The following notice was given in
the Forum of his death:
Samuel August johnson, who is
we'll known in Fargo as member
of the street commissioners force
died this morning at 1880 O'Clock
at his home of pneumonia.
johnson was 81 years of age and
leaves widow, four children and
brother and sister, both of whom
live in Washburn, N. D. Since
1882 the deceased has lived in
Fargo and during all that time has
occupied his residence at " Front
street. He had a large number of
friends among Fargoans.
Since the heavy blizzard several
weeks ago, johnson has not been
we'll. He worked hard during the
time when large snow drifts we're
on all the streets and the exposure
gave him severe cold. However
he was able to be around until
four days ago when he was taken
with a severe attack of pneumonia
to which he succumbed this morn
ing.
Arrangements for the funeral
will not be made until the relatives
in Washburn are heard from.
They are expected to arrive in the
city this evening. 1t is known,
however, that he will be buried in
the Moorhead cemetery.

year, and I also know of several
who will build silos.
I built 165 ton silo three years
ago and would not think Of raising
stock and especially keeping the
mich cows-without it.
This year the corn was badly fro
zen, and the leaves dried up, but
I supplies the dampness by run
ming water into the ensilage cutter
through a hose, while cutting the
corn, and I cannot see any differ
ence in the silage; tits quite green,
sweet and greatly relished by all
the stock.
Our worst drawback in raising
corn, in this northern country, is
early frost, and. on account of the
early fall. the corn fodder is never
sufficiently cured SO it will keep
in stack, and about the only way
to take care of it, without silo, is
to put it up in good shocks in the
field and haul it as used, but this
method is unsatisfactory in years
with heavy snowfall.
The silo overcomes these diff
culties, as the corn makes good
silage even if frozen and if the
right amount of moisture is prop
erly supplied, it eliminates the
task of hauling the corn in during
the cold, stormy winter weather,
and the disagreeable part of hand
ling manure with frozen cornstalks
mixed in it and last, but not least,
it furnishes succulent food for the
milch COWS, insuring greater flow
of milk, during the part of the year
that dairy products bring the best
price, and it keeps all the young
stock in healthy and growing
condition.
The above has my experience
with corn, silo and silage, and, in
my opinion, the growing of corn is
one of the most profitable crops on
the farm. With proper cultivation
it eradicates the weeds and con.
serves the moisture in the land; il
increases the stock growing as well
as the grain growing capacity Of
the farm, and the amount as well
as the quality of the fertilizer, and
the sooner the farmers are con.
vinced of this fact the sooner they
will be on the road to prosperity.
Yours truly,
j. A. Englund.
