He went at nothing blindly. He
saw that war was certain. So he began
to study military text books. He studied
with the same zeal he had given to
philosophy and the classics. His mind
was marvelously acute. He would

its captain. The first time he was under
fire was in the battle Of Long Island. In
the flight from Brooklyn he brought
up the rear and showed such soldierly
qualities that he won the praise of Gen.

he attracted the attention Of Washing

Washington, but the general thought
the plan too hazardous. In the retreat
Of the continental army through New

his soldieriy qualities in the protection

CONTRACTORS FORCE LARGE

The graders on the Pingree-Wil-
ton line are making good progress
and the grade now reaches from near
Pingree to the Pipestem and beyond.
A large force of men and teams are
at work and Contractor Tobin ex-
pecas to work late into the fall. The
season has been favorable and no
delays have been met from weather
conditions. It is not probable that
the line will be laid with steel this
fall, but will be in readiness for this
work next spring. There are some
heavy cuts and fills west of the river
yet to be completed. Pingree is
headquarters for the contractors and
graders and some of the local mer-
chants have been doing good busi-
ness this summer with the grading
force. The road bed is being con-
structed in substantial manner.

TRAVELLING THRESHING MA.
CHINE

G. o. Walters, a former resident of
Edmunds, known personally to many
readers of the Alert, has invented a
steam or gasoline travelling thresher.
It is claimed to be adapted for thresh-
ing in the Dakotas and the northwest
territories. Mr.. Walters is a resi-
dent of Long Beach, Calf. He has
prepared book descriptive of the
invention which he believes will be
of great utility in farming operations
in this part of the country, on account
of being a saving in threshing ex-
penses. The machine gathers up the
bundles or shocks from the field and
threshes the grain as it moves along.
The inventor claims that there are
many advantages besides economy in
the invention, which he submits to
manufacturers or any other concern
which might undertake to perfect and
manufacture the machine.

SHEEP FOR GRAZING

An unusual sight was seen on Main
street today, in a band of about 900
sheep being driven across the city
on their way to Barnes county
where they will be grazed for a time.
The sheep were from Big Timber,
Mont, and as they passed along the
street attracted the attention of near
ly every business man and many kids
including miscellaneous assort-
ment of bird dogs. Some of the
lambs were quite weak and wanted to
rest along the road side, and two or
three boys with carts undertook to
carry the little tired fellows across
the city to the pasture on the bluff,
where the sheep will have time to
Craze and rest.
One of the most interested and
trusted attendants Of the sheep was
a we'll trained shepherd dog, that
followed in the wake of the band and
looked after stray sheep with all the
intelligence of one of the human at
tendants. The sheep will be grazed
along the road as far as Valley City
and then will be marketed. Sheep
are being grazed in some. grain
fields where the crop was too light
to cut.

FIFTY WORD LETTER
THE NEW NIGHT RATE MESSAGE
OFFERED BY WESTERN
UNION

The public generally may not be
fully Informed as to the expenses of
sending night kilograms to any part
of the country. The ruling recently
made by the Western Union Tele-
graph company permits any person
to send night messages of SO words,
at the same cost as day message
of ten words, sent to the same desti-
nation.
For instance, day message Of ten
words to San Francisco, would cost
from Jamestown, rs cents and for
that sum night message of SO words
can be sent and delivered the follow
ing morning. A day message Of ten
words to Fargo costs rs cents and
for that sum night message of SO
words can be sent to the same place.
This is a great advantage to many
people. The night messages can be
filed any time during the day and
will be forwarded after six p. m. to
be delivered the following morning.
These night letters are becoming
more popular and people will, no
doubt, use them more frequently
when all the conditions are thorough
ly understood.
Fifty words exclusive of the ad-
dress and signature properly chosen,
can be made to comprise compre-
hensive letter to some distant per-
son either for business or other pur-
poses.

COLLEGE FARM.
.
REAL TRANSACTION OF MORE
THAN USUAL INTEREST.
STUTSNIAN COUNTY FARM
Err PURCHASER

A real estate deal was consumated
today which will be of more than US
ual interest to many people, young
and old, and to all interested in
jamestown College. H. M. Taber and
VIM. Kavanagh returned Friday from
Courtenay where they went to look
after the sale of the Jamestown Col
lege farm, purchaser for the land
having notified the trustees of his
intention to invest in Stutsman coun-
ty reality. A sale was made Of the
half section or 500 acres in section
|26-144-62 and the price received was
$11, ZOO net to the college. This sum
is about $500 less than the price
which the trustees expected to realize
from the sale of the farm. The land
is all under cultivation and has a
good house as part of the property,
but no other buildings of any value.
The price is about $50 per acre and
shows that Stutsman county land is
worth good money even in dry sea-
sons.
The purchaser of the land is Steph-
en- Hamilton of Courtenay, a farmer
Of the county. He recently sold his
farm, disposing of that property last
May, and reinvested in the college
farm. The transaction was cash
deal.
The sale Of the farm puts nearly
$4,000 into the hands of the college
trustees to be used for the construc-
tion of the Sanford Dormitory, the
farm being gift to the college by
G. A. Sanford Of Courtenay.
