in order to avoid a grade.
Having to haul the produce from
the farm to he market over poor
road adds to the cost of production,
and again good road that can be
depended on in all seasons brings
the farmers several miles nearer town
and it also increases the value of the
land considerably as the buyer will
pay quite bit more for land that he
can reach with a good road than for
land that is hard to reach on account
of the poor roads, due either to steep
grades or to the poor quality of the
road bed. The main thing is a new
country, however, is getting the roads
laid out in the right place, as it is not
an easy matter to change them after
they have once been esta ablished and
money expended on them.

RAID ON THE PUBLIC D1PPER

RAID ON THE PUBLIC DIPPER
Wisconsin has abolished the public
drinking cup and is the sixth state to
do SO. Governor Eberhart of Min
nesota is strongly set against public
cups. ''The unsanitary public cup
should be done away WITH" declared
the governor recently. Whether it
is advisable to install the fountain I
cannot say, but it surely would be
better to have individual cups than
the present obnoxious practice. I shall
heartily support any recommends
tion along this line which the state
board fhealth shall make. So far
as the schools are concerned, I am
convinced that it is a little short of
a crime to permit the public cut to be
used"
In Fargo individual drinking cups
will be furnished to the students in
the public schools next fall, and it
is hoped that before long flowing
fountains may be installed, for the
protection Of all against that trans
mitter Of disease, the public cup.

LIGHT CROPS IN MINNESOTA

F. A. Carnal of Dakota County,
Minn., is looking after farm matters
in this county. He states that the
crop season in southern Minnesota
has been fully as disappointing to
farmers as it has here. The hay crop
has been failure owing to dry
weather, and he has been obliged to
feed his COWS more feed during the
summer months than in winter. He
had little old hay left from last
year which helped out.
The wheat crop was good, but not
much of it in his part of the state.
The quality was good. Farmers
have not had such a poor year for
many seasons. Oats and barley were
practically failures, a neighbor har-
vesting but bushels of barley to the
acre. Oats are only about one-third
of a crop. Mr.. Carnal says North
Dakota is as we'll off in crop returns
as Minnesota judging from appearan-
ces.

ars for evidence leading to the con-
viction of any person or persons
guilty of poisoning dogs in James

METEOR PUZZLES
SCIENTIFIC men
FELL IN FOSTER
COUNTY

Will Thornhill of Beck Clothing
Co., Carringtoh, was an arrival Tues.
day on short business trip. He
states that the meteoric stone which
is on exhibition at their Darlington
store has attracted thousands of Wis.
itors and has brought out much cor.
respondence from scientific men. The
stone has been inspected by profess
ors from the state university and the
Agricultural College and tests have
been made by eastern experts to de.
eide whether the stone is a genuine
meteoric stone or not. One of them
was the chief diamond expert OF
Tiffany's, New York.
So far no scientific man of repute
has decided against the claims as tc
the origin of the stone. Its owner
is Mr.. Putnam of Darlington and all
the circumstances regarding the find.
ing of the stone by the two boys
who were returning late at night
from dance have been fairly well
corroborated. The stone fell about 2
a. M, and the boys who found the
stone maintain it was warm when
discovered. It was located about 8
quarter of mile from the barn and
had melted the snow from around II
when found. The stone weighs a
bout $50 pounds and shows evidences
of having been subjected to intense
heat. If it is determined to be
genuine meteoric stone, 1t will be
very valuable, as it is said to contain
evidences Of matter very rare II
stones Of meteoric origin.

M00RHEAD SALOONS
GET EXTENSION
GOVERNMENT GRANTS BOOZE
PARLORS 80 DAYS MORE
TIME TO CLOSE OUT
STOCKS

fdTSO, aug. IO.-L1QuOr dealers
in Moorhead and the rest of the ced-
ed Indian lands have been given un-
til October Is, in which to dispose
of their stocks of liquor. The time
has thus been extended forone month,
on which date all of the provisions
Of the order must have been COM
piled with by the liquor dealers.
The dispatch from Washington
through the Associated Press, states
THAT Acting Secretary Pierce of the
interior department has taken this
action in the matter. It now seems
highly probable that the order will
. no further modified than this
postponment of the enforcement of
the order, as the dispatch refers to
the postponement as the result of
numerous protests against the order
and requests for its modification.
Up to this time liquor dealers in
this city have been awaiting the ac-
tion of Secretary Ballinger of the in
terror department in the matter.
thingking that perhaps he would re-
woke the order or modify it. This is
the modification, the postponement of
the closing date for one month. The
dispatch referred to states that a
large number of protests against the
order have been received from the
people all over the territory affected,
and that the most of these protests
have been received from Moorhead.
The dispatch says nothing further
about the matter than that the date
will be postponed for one month,
from the original date set for it's en-
forcement. No further modification
Is announced and there will proba-
bly, be none. 81
This word from the head of the in
terror department is what local IL
quor dealers have been waiting for as
the final decision in the matter rest
ed with them. This postponement of
the order gives local saloon keepers
a few less than go days to get rid
of their stocks, or at least in which
to get them out of the country. No
liquor will be allowed in the prescrib-
ed territory adjacent to the Leech
Lake and White Earth Indian reser-
vations after October IS. All that
is in this territory after that date will
be conf1scated by the federal officials.
People in the vicinity Of the White
Earth reservation tell how the whole
affair, involving the prohibition of
liquor in this territory started. It is
said that there was a half breed in
the vicinity of the reservation near
Detroit who started a saloon that was
damaging the business of the local
saloon keepers in Detroit. They
had the half breed arrested on the
charge that half breed could not
conduct saloon.
An old Indian chief on the White
Earth reservation then took the mat
ter up and made trip to Washing
ton, where he became acquainted
with the man who is now known as
"Pussyfoot'' Johnson, and who is
a special agent of Indian affairs.
In looking up the matter it was
found that according to he treaty
it was unlawful for any liquor to be
sold on or near the reservations. The
of the provisions of the
old treaty were at once begun and
the territory was found to embrace
and vicinity. =

JEFFRIES-JOHNSON FIGHT.
The Great Prize Fight Will Be Held
Near San Francisco

San Francisco, March S.-After
weeks Of negotiations and more or
less controversy between the joint
promoters, it was definitely decided
this evening by Tex Ricard and Jack
Gleason, that the Jeffries-Johnson
battle on July will be held in the
arena within the race track enclosure
Of the California Jockey Club at EN-
eryville, Alemada county, just across
the bay from San Francisco.
The announcement was made i'm
mediately after meeting in the office
Of the Buckeye Club this afternoon,
attended by Richard, Thomas H. Will
liam, president Of the Jockey Club,
and Mayor Christie of Emeryville.
Williams and Christie both signified
their willingness to have the fight
staged in Emeryville and an agree
ment to that effect was signed.
Jack Gleason, Richards partner,
was not present at the conference, but
Rickard stated that Gleason had
given his approval of the Emeryvill
site and all that remained to be done
was to secure formal permission from
the town board of trustees. Rickarl
has been assured that this will be
forthcoming upon application.
II have secured the permission of
Mr.. Williams to hold the fight in the
race track and have finally decided
that this is where the big men will
meet" said Rickard tonight.
1T is an ideal place and We will be
able to seat an almost unlimited num-
Der Of people. 1 think that 10000
people will see the fight. FROM now
on 1 will devote my attention to de-
tails"
Il have always been against the
idea of using the race track at EN-
eryville for anything but racing
events" said President Williams after
the meeting, but the Jeffres- John
son fight is a sporting event of ma
uonal Importance and for that reason
[ have given my consent that the mon
meet within the jockey club grounds.
All that I ask is that the track be
placed in order after the fight is
over"

of the light wind that was blowing
that the largo tobacco warehouse and
IN number OF oher buildings were not
destroyed also.
This Is the fourth fire on tobacco
warehouse property during the recent
