MAYOR LOWELL 5ALks AT couN-
cILs APPROVING SOMETHING
WITH WHICH IT IS NOT Ac-
oUAINTED-NEW PLAN is IN
AUGURATED.

In the opinion OF Mayor Werner r.
Lowell 1t is not very good policy for the
city council to stamp with It's APPROVAL,
something of which it knows absolute
ly nothing. When II was moved last
evening that certain plans and specifi-
cations for Waterman on Ninth ave-
nue. north be approved, the mayor
started lfrtle inquiry. The approval
Is step which Is necessary in order
to make the special assessment legal.
The mayor declared that In his opin-
ion committee having charge of this
work, should look over the specifca-
tions. look into the size of the main,
time for completing the work and 9TH
er details and report to the council.
The suggestion apparently met with
instant approval. The plans went to
various committees, along with others
which have already been approved.

BATTLE or cARDs-oRDER IN
EFFECT AT ONCE.

There were no games in Fargo last
night. Instead of being grouped around
the green topped tables, the knights
of the poker game were last night
grouped on street corners anticipating
where would be the best place to head
for.
Yesterday afternoon Mayor Vernen
r. Lowell issued orders that gambling
must cease in Fargo. Chief G. z.
Bowers served notice at eleven places
that the games of chance would not be
tolerated.
There's not the least doubt in the
minds Of the people of Fargo that
Mayor Lowell means business even the
Jack pot men being satisfied that in
the future there will be nothing doing
in Fargo.

MAGAZINES AND PERIODICALS
ALL OVER COUNTRY COMMENT
ON WONDERFUL DISCOVERIES
IN CROP CULTURE MADE AT
THE NORTH DAKOTA A. C.

The leading article in Farm Weeds,
"a magazine published by the Ameri-
can Steel g. Wire Co, has to do with
Killing the Troublesome Kinghead,
written by Dean Fl. L. Bolley, of
the North Dakota agricultural college
1T gives full directions with regard to
handling this weed by methods of cul-
tivation and spraying.
The leading article in the journal
known as Drugs, Oils AMI Paints Ma
gazine, of the American Drug, Oil and
Paint Manufacturers association, is
written by Editor G. B, Heckel and
contains an extended review OF the
work of the botanical department of
the North Dakota Agricultural college
upon flax growing and its influence up
on other industries.
He also publishes an extended plan
of cooperation, looking forward to-
wards improving the fax growing ca
pabilities of the farms of the north
west. The article is a very exhaus-
tive one and contains the opinions of
fax experts in all parts of the country
regarding what Should be done to save
the fax crop as a permanent element
in agriculture.
Editorial Mention.
A late editorial of The Cincinnati
Times Star has the following kindly
words regarding the Agricultural coll
lege of North Dakota, and the work of
Professor Bo'ley:
IF the Agricultural college Of North
Dakota never does anything else 1t has
proven through the work of Professor
Bolley that next o the noble study of
mankind is tho intelligent study of his
food supply and how to care for it.
AS a nation the United States is
approaching the time when it can not
trust to luck for it's crop. II the supply
is to keep abreast of the demand. or
even near it, the nation must know
how to conserve the health of it's grain
fields, as well as its meat producing
animals"

AlRSHIP'S FUTURE POWER
Transmission of Electricity from

There will undoubtedly be some method
of conveying the electrical power just
as to-day we are able TO transmit
through the air enough power TO conIroi
the steering apparatus OF maritime VI
an aerial torpedo. Tesla has ALREADY
secured patents for transmitting power
through the air, and he, moreover, has
nroved that he can do it." says Pro

University. Professor TroWbridge mas
spent forty years of his life in the study
of electricity, and will retire from Har-
ward this month. after twenty-five years
of teaching, with the title of professor
emeritus of science.
Professor Trowbridge believes that the
greatest drawback to the aeroplane is
lack of proper power, and that such
power can be furnished from generators
placed on land and sea to make the ar
ship of the future a vehicle OF useful
ness as conveyance and also as
factor in warfare. He adds:

doubtedIy hundreds of other men en-

Just how this power may be transmitted

to answer at the present time Never

finally resort to practical aerial trans

something more reliable than the gasO-

air type depends to-day. The time is
coming when our air craft will depend
on mundane power houses quite as much
as do our trolley cars.
