TAMENEss OF A SEA LION
Old Ben, Weighing Half a Ton, Is
Often Met on the Streets

In describing the islands lying of
the southern coast of California Fred.

which will really amaze the wanderer
among the Channel islands Is the
tameness of some animals. To meet
a bull sea lion weighing approximate

Santa Catalina sea lion rookery. on
Crescent avenue, Avalon, surrounded
by tourists who snapped their cam
eras at him with impunity.
AT that time Ben could be induced
to come ashore when the lure was a
fat, long-inned tuna, but one day he
climbed upon the wharf, coming en-.
tirely up the steps, following the man
with a fish. Then some unreasonable
person made threatening demonstra-
ton; Ben started for the step, lost his
hold, slipped and fell, smashing them
and wounding himself For a long
time he remembered this, but gradual.

turned.
He is good-tempered and never at

FEAREDFOR Her SAFETY
Miss Gladys Taylor Is Touring Vel.
lowstone Park, Where Bad Acct
. dent Occurred.

A few days ago, Miss Gladys Taylor,
daughter Of A. B. Taylor of the Fargo
National bank, left for a trip through
the Yellowstone park. Yesterday she
had arranged TO take the trip by one
OF the coaches that carry sight-seers
TO the different points of interest.
A telegram from the Associated
Press last night states that one per
son was killed and four seriously in
a stage accident. For time Mr.. Tay-
lor was fearful that his daughter
might have been in the party that
received injuries, but as nothing fur
Their has been heard, such is believed
not to have been the case. There are
at least forty stages making the trips
through the park and Miss Taylor is
more than likely to have taken one of
the others.

USE FOR BLOTTlNG PAPER
In Germany II Is Made to Take the
1 Place OF Waste for Cleaning
Machinery.

In Germany plotting paper is used
to clean machinery. Tow, wooden
refuse. sponge, cloths and jute waste
are the materials usually employed for
the cleaning of machinery and parts
of engines which are soiled by dust
and lubricating substances. The bet.
ter varieties of cotton waste are very
good for securing purposes, but the
cheaper grades are charged with dust,
and in using them a sponge cloth.
specially manufactured for the pur-
pose, is employed. In using blottine
paper for securing purposes the use
of cotton waste Is decreased and the
sponge cloths are entirely dispensed
with. On an average the German
workman received under the former
system $50 grams of cotton waste, one
new sponge cloth and one or two rem
ovated ones every week. Now he Is
supplied with $50 grams of cotton
waste, and about eight or ten sheets
of blotting paper, at a cost of az
cents, or one-third the cost of the cot
ton waste. The paper is not only
cheaper, but 1t does not soil the ma
chinery with fibers and dust as do
the wooden refuse and the sponge
cloths. It is also less combustibls
than other cleaning materials, and II
1t should be caught In the machinery
while engines in motion are being
cleaned 1t tears easily and the work

had made the rounds Of one or two OF

AT police headquarters the prisoner
gave his name as Joe West. His coat
had most extraordinary pockets and
from them were taken bottles, TASKS,
pieces of copper wire, books letters,
etc. From a sack and coat which
West said were his were taken sew
eral pieces of broken car wheelbrasses,
more bottles pieces of rubber and more
wire. He said he made money by gath
ering up all sorts of things like the
stuff he had and was quite effusive
In the explanation of his possession of
the car wheel brasses, but vowed that
he found them along the right of way,
broken just as he had them.
West said he was trapper by "pro-
fession" and had the documents to
prove that at Perham. He was locked
up to await developments. Later he
was questioned by one of the company
detectives and from information gath
cred West was allowed to. accompany
the detective to an alleged fence"
where stuff stolen from the Dilworth
yards is supposed to have been dis
posed of. For week or two the Off
Gals In the Dilworth yards have been
experiencing no end of trouble with
of all kinds and one of the men
seen loafing about was West and this
morning he was trailed to -Moorhead.
While there is nothing very serious
against him SO far the police believe
that he may turn out useful in the
giving Of valuable information which
may perhaps lead to bigger game"

Bolivia acknowledged the debt and
agreed to pay 1t by turning over to
the claimant the customs receipts of

one could not help having some pity
on one so detected looking. A black
handkerchief hid from view the lower
part of his face and he seemed to be
in pain. He said his name was Jim
Gordon and confessed to being drunk.
"$5 or ten days; can you pay your
finer said the court. The defendant
mubbled out that he thought there was
enough in his bundle to pay. The mis-
erably dirty handkerchief when it was
united, disclosed among the conten'4 q
checks and currency amounting to urS
wards of $500, over $50 in bank bills,
Gordon paid over the fine, tied up his
things and walked off. He had this
appearance of being a man dead
broke" He mumbled out that it was
good thing he had been cared for.
Who he was and where he came from
was not divulged
!. Another man charged with being
drunk was surprised when Chief NAL
vey handed over to him over $40 in
money-he supposed that his wealth
had all been taken.

than anything else, asked to be al
lowed to go and away they went with
waiting farmers, who were anxious to
hire some able bodied help.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
eraln Let.er.


Chicago, Aug. 16.-Wheat: The
market opened fractionally lower and
sold off about / cent per bushel from
yesterdays close. The greater weak
mess being in September. but the de-
cline was all recovered and closed
higher than last night. Some cash
business was reported here for lake
shipments. about $4,000 bushels.
These sales were not understood to
be for export, but mere transfer to
eastern points. Actual export bust
ness cannot be positively confirmed
The chief influence affecting prices
early today was the heavlness of the
cash position. The demand thus far
locally is not large enough to remove
the weight of steady accommodations.
Outside speculative interest is light.
The market has had a good decline
since Saturday and local professionals
have liquidated quite generally. We
are likely to have firmer cables tomor-
row and any renewal of export de-
mand will have a tendency to give us
an upturn in the market.
