WONDER HOW THE
BALL DRESS LOOKED
YOUNG SOCIETY LADY OF MIN0T HAS A
REAL DISTRESSING EXPERIENCE
RETURNING FROM DANCE

Minot, N. D., July 16.-Dis-
tressing in the extreme and un-
pleasant to a high degree was the
experience which befell a we'll
known Minot young lady, just after
returning from the dam ce at Spring
Park lake, when in entering her
home in the fashionable resi-
dence district of the city she
fell to the bottom of an excavation
being made for city sewer exten-
sions and was compelled to remain
there for several hours until by
dint of painful effort, 'unaided she
again reached terra frma and
gained her room.
The lady in question returned
home from the dance some time
before midnight last night. In
front of the place where she rooms
the city has force of men work
ing on extensions for the sewer
system. The ditch is about twelve
feet deep and narrow as the grave.
She missed her footing and fell to
the bottom.
Then her predicament was any
thing but pleasant. Most women
would have screamed and reused
the neighborhood, but this one
didn't. She preserved silence, al
though suffering some slight in
jury, and waited for friendly
pedestrian to gallantly raise hsr
from the depths. But the hour
was too late for many pedestrians
to be abroad, and she finally de-
cided the only thing to do was to
get out herself.
It was after 2:30 this morning
before her efforts we're crowned
with success. Every effort is be-
ing made today to keep the affair
q secret.

New Magazine

N. G. Wegner Of Grand Forks
has launched q new Magazine
which he calls ''Mimmir" and the
explanation for the unusual cog
nomen is that tits the name of an
old Morse giant, according to mith-
ology who took care Of the well or
spring of memory and thus we can
see that the Magazine is to be
somewhat on the historical order.
It is q publication more especially
for the Scandinavians but also in
tends to bring the races closer to-
gether. The first number is very
.creditable one and IS filed with
good things to read and is also

SETTLERS RETURN
FROM CANADA
UNITED STATES RECAlNlNC FARMERS
DISSATISFIED WITH CONDITIONS
IN CANADA.-LlKE HERE

Washington, July IA. The tide
of emigration of homeseekers to
Canada, which has been the sub
ject of great concern to the ad-
ministration of the public domain
for the last few years, has turned,
in the opinion of officials of the
reclamation service. Thousands
have returned and a great many
more are expected back soon.
Clarence j. Blanchard, statisti-
clan of the reclamation service,
reports that he has interviewed a
great number of settlers in Mon
tana who have tried the Canadian
experiment, but were glad enough
to return home. They stated that
practically every American far
mer in the neighborhood of Alber-
ia, where the Canadian govern
ment maintains its irrigation pro-
ject, was anxious to get back if he
could sell his holdings.
The American settlers were dis
satisfied with the character of the
land, the crops from which, they
alleged, consisted principally of
alfalfa and such hardy grains as
winter wheat, and even these we're
not sure. The form of govern
ment did not appeal to them and
they consider the railroad freight
rates exorbitant. The climate was
a source of dissatisfaction, ice and
snow in August and September OF
last year adding to their discon-
tent.
During the last nine months, 1T
was said, at the reclamation ser.
vice $4,000 settlers have returned
to the states from Canada, and the
prospects for a general backward
movement was bright.

Branching Out

The Tioga Farmers Telephone
Co. has been q very busy concern
this spring and summer. Besides
installing an up-to-date system
here in town the line has been ex-
tended south so far that it has taken
in about twenty new subscribers,
and from there work was COM
menced on an extension northwest
of town which has been practically
completed and the farmers in that
territory to a distance of about five
miles out are now connected by
phone.
At a meeting of the board of d.
rectors held the fore part of the
week it was decided to extend the
line north to McGregor and work
on same will be commenced at once.
This will be a good thing for that
country as besides giving the far
mers along the route connection
with town it will put McGregor in
close touch with their shipping
point, Tioga, especially owing to
the fact that there will be no rail-
road built into the new town before
some time next year.-Tioga Ga

Dry Weather and Irrigation

The dry weather this year has
taught the farmers the. value OF
irrigation and the reclamation SER
vice, and many who thought they
did not want the water are now
asking for and receiving it. OF

vicinity without irrigation but q
much better crop and ono that will
pay big for the money and time it
takes TO secure the water, can be
secured by: irrigation.
The reclamation service has been
taxed to- its utmost, but the force
has been doubled in many places
and thus the farmersswho wanted
the water have received Il.

NELSON IN MORAN FIGHT
Dane Fearing Defeat Saturday Searches for Veteran to
Outline His Plan of Battle

San Francisco, Cal, Nov IA cloud
of gloom settled over the training quar-
tiers of Battling Nelson yesterday when
he received word from Tommy Ryan
that he would be unable to come west
and second the Dane for his battle with
Owen Moran Saturday
The Battler wants to be trained to
the hour for Saturdays clash with the
Britisher and has made every attempt
to go into the ring with an advantage
on his opponent. 1t was this that
prompted the Dane to seek the serv-
ices of Ryan, who has long been known
as one of the greatest handlers of pug
lists.
1t Is the meeting with Moran that is
worrying the former lightweight cham
pion and he knows that he must de-
cfsively defeat Moran in order to get
a return match with Champion Ad VOL
CAST.
Nelson has but one ambition, and that
is to get another chance with Wolgast
and appreciates that it is up to him
to prove that he has not gone back,
