C. A. J0HNS0N'S SON
WAS BURNED TO DEATH AT HIS
HOME IN MINOT-sAD AC-
CIDENT

Minot, N. D., Sept. 30.-Mrs. G.
A. Johnson, wife of G. A. Johnson.
republican candidate for governor, is
in a serious condition as the result
of the fire this afternoon, in which
her three-year-old son was burned to
death.
Though no definite information can
be secured regarding the source, it
seems probable that the little boy
was playing with neighbours child
in the little summer house and set
a small fire, which ended in the hor-
rible accident. ..-..
The doctor is of the opinion the
little boy was suffocated before the
fire reached him. His body was hard
ly recognizable when the firemen
quenched the flames.
Mr.. Johnson was located at New
Rockford and left at once for home.
to the memory of little Delwin John
son, the young son of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. A. Johnson, who was burned to
death by accident in summer house
while at play last Friday.
The funeral services which were
held at the Presbyterian church, were
attended by an audience that packed
that edifice to the doors. Follow
ing the arrival of the casket carried
by four little girls and the sorrowing
relatives, the services were opened by
the church choir.
An incident that by it's pathetic
significance brought tears to every
eye, was the singing by Miss Alice
Coulter of the Sunday school hymn,
"I'll be Sunbeam to Jesus" One
week previous little Delwin Johnson
with the members of his Sunday
school class stood on the rostrum and
in his infant lisp sang the same words
that characterized far better than
could sermon, the purpose of the
Almighty in taking him from the
earth.
The services at the cemetery were
equally as impressive. Mr.. and Mrs.
Johnson have received both letters
and kilograms of coincidence from
all over the state and the daily pa
pers have extended in editorials, the
sincerity of which cannot be doubted,
the sympathy of every community.

SCARCITY OF OATS

Owing to the scarcity of oats in
North Dakota this year, farmers are
commencing to ship in oats from out
side points. Bert Orange Of Spirit
wood has, so far, shipped in five cars
of oats this fall and has just unloaded
the fifth car at the jamestown yards.
The. oats came from Iowa.
It is an unusual condition for North
Dakota farmers to be obliged to ship
in oats at this time Of the year, or In
fact, at any other time. Before an
other crop Is raised still greater
scarcity Of oats Is expected to be-
found and farmers are buying now
while oats are low IN price. .

TO INSPECT MOTT EXTENSION
Pingree-Wilton Line to be Completed
Next Year. Light Grades

A party OF Northern Pacific rail-
road officials left Saturday for a
trip over the Mandan-Mott extension.
Among them will be Gen. Supt. Blan-
chard, Gen. Traffic Manager Wood
worth, Gen. Freight Agent Baird,
Supt. Burt and others. The new line
will no be formally turned over
to the operating department but a.
gents at Flasher and Mott will be
installed and any freight or grain
traffic that can be secured will be
taken care of by the road. There
is considerable work to do in COM
pleting the surfacing and putting
the track in good condition. The
new extension will be included in the
Dakota division under. Supt. Burt's
management.
The work of grading on the Pin
gree-Wilton line will be finished this
fall and is now nearly done. The
ironing and other work of getting
the line in readiness for regular pas
senger and freight service will be
done next summer, and will take a.
bout three months to complete.
There are ninety miles of track to
get in position to handle the fall
business. The building of station
houses, the surfacing and finishing
of the grade, the laying of the rails
will take until August If started in
May. Contrary to the general i'm
preston the grade of the greater
part of the line is not heavy. After
a piece of rough country west of
Gerber has been passed, the grade is
comparatively level and easy for 60
miles.

angels swung censers which emitted a thousand
sweet perfumes, the apostle, Saint Peter, and the
Pope Saint Gregory the Great, held the vestments
