A Day Of Blood

In his frail skinboat it is a diff
ticult and dangerous task for the
Eskimo to go out to sea forty to
sixty miles and intercept the
walrus, as he passes on his mi
grafton into the Arctic.
One carcass will fill his boat,
for it weighs from 1000 to 5000
pounds. He hunts the walrus
when they are lying asleep on
the ice-tioes, in herds from ten
to several hundred. Death must
be instantaneous, else with a few
rolls or the peculiar lum boring,
humping movement (seen of the
seal when ashore), he makes the
few feet to the water and then is
lost, for he has not sufficient
blubber and air to float. He has
much natural curiosity, and if
not scared by shots will come w
close to your boat or icehoe on
which you are sitting, squirting
snorting, and rolling his eyes
with his cleaning tusks and
bristled snout he has an uncan
ny, goblin-monster-like appear
ance. A herd of fifty or sixty
of them will come up en- masse
raise high out of the water tc
stare at you, then snort, squirt
and disappear again, only tc
come up on the same spot ano
repeat the vancouver indeti
nitely. Taking advantage of this
the Eskimos hide behind ice
hammocks and throw harpoor
into one, then snub the tough
rawhide line around an ice cake
He must perforce come up tC
blow and he is then killed with
the rife. The thick skin anC
the mass of blubber and meat be
meath renders him almost invul
nerable. Captain F. E. Klein
schmidt, in the June Pacific
Monthly.

Ford Cars Lead in Iowa and Illinois.

The official records in the Sec
rotary of States offices of Iowa
and Illinois for the month OF
April, 1910 show more Ford cars
registered than any other make
as appears from the following
figures:
Iowa, 300 Fords against III of
the next nearest competitor; Hi
nois, POI Fords against 10.
Fords also led in March.
Bear in mind that these fig
ures do not represent factory
output or deliveries to agents,
but individual purchases by To-
wa and Illinois people.
Now since road conditions in
that section of the country are
conceded to be the worst in the
United States this ought to put
a quietus on the knocker that
says Ford cars are too light.
Iowa and Illinois people, as rule
are pretty conservative buyers
and these knockers are usually
parties handling heavy cars, cars
that would bankrupt the man
of ordinary means to keep up.
Ford cars cost less to keep than
a horse and buggy. Ask the
man who drives one.
W. E. Groendyclle, represent
ing Ford Motor Company.

The Water System Tested,

The city council made a test
of the water works system We'd
nesday and found it to be up tC
the contract, that the contractor
Campbelle, did as he agreed and
that there was no disagreement
at any time during the construc'
ton of the same, The tests that
were made showed that there
was a tank pressure of about GO
pounds all the time, which is
ample for all practical purposes.
With a new fire pump of great
er capacity, the pressure can be
increased to any degree. The
plant was turned over to the city
on Wednesday afternoon so
nothing remains to be done but
deal with the city if you wish to
be a water consumer.

6. W. Nsece for Commissioner Precinct No. 2

The News is authorized to an
nounce the name of w. E. Niece
for reelection to the Office OF
commissioner for Precinct No. 2,
subject to the action of the Dem.
ocratic primaries. Mr.. Niece
needs no introduction to the many
voters of the county. He has
shown himself to be an honest

also will show this to be true.
From a financial standpoint the
Office pays small salary com
pared with the time it takes, but
men of Mr. Niece S make do not
consider the financial remuner-
alton but a duty that all good
citizens owe to their state, county
and community.
Mr.. Niece has resided in Ran
dali county eight years, coming
from Hardman county, Texas.
He is a good progressive farmer
and should have your vote and
support
