Dakota said, IF my state is
allowed to get a start in the
manufacture Of linen goods, it
will, in the not distant future,
become the linen center of the
world. The millions of tons Of
flax straw now burned annual
ly, will become a source Of
wealth, giving employment to
many thousand people a n d
greatly cheapening the cost of
linen articles in all parts Of the
country
Prof. II. Bachelor of Fargo
has made an exhaustive study
of the possibilities of develop
ing the linen industry in this
state, he is quoted as saying,
II look for important develop
ments along the line of manu-
featuring in this state, particul-
arly in the linen industry. I
know Of enterprises now under
way that will eventually lead
to the establishment of the
linen industry permanently in
North Dakota.

Why Harrow Grain.

The narrowing of grain saves
moisture and kills weeds. Both
important things to do from
the standpoint Of increased
yields. On first sight it may
seem that it will hurt the grain
but if SO it very slight. Expert
ment on a field; harrow part
very thoroughly. a part light
land leave a part without any
narrowing. Watch till harvest
for results.
Grain can be narrowed till
three or four inches high.
Harrow when dry. If wet the
results will not be so good. 1t
will hurt the grain more and
will not save moisture nor kill
weeds so we'll.
A lever harrow is preferable
and the teeth should be slant
ing backward. Good results
have, however, been secured
by using the harrow with erect
teeth.

WILL ASK FOR NEW DEPOT
Committee Appointed by Commercial
Club TO Confer with Officials.

The directors of the CONNER
Gal club, at a meeting held
Tuesday night, decided that
the time was oDportune to ask
the Great Northern for new
. <assenger station for Bottineau.
= esident III. A., Bate has ap-
nted a committee composed
* j. Scully, E. C. Bowen
and Win. Collins to take up
the matter with the officials of
the road in St. Paul.
The citizens of Bottineau
feel that it is not asking too
much of the Great Northern to
furnish better facilities for
handling it's business at this
point, one of the best-paying g
on the entire system.

BODY FOUND IN MOUNTAINS
Ole I. Olson, Who lIvel Northeast of
BottIneau, Shot Himself.

Ole t. Olson, who lived on
his farm in section 80, town
ship 1853, range "a, about thir
teen miles northeast of Bot
tineau, was found dead last
Friday. The body was dis
covered by three of his neigh
bors Ole Haugen, Amund
Noraberg and Osten Haugen.
There was a bullet wound in
the dead mans breast and be-
side the remains lay a 3O-3O
rifle.
Olson had lived alone and
was last seen alive about a
month previous to the dis
covery of the body. He was
given to roaming over the
country and at first his neigh
bors thought nothing of his
absence. But on Thursday Of
last week search was made for
him and his house was entered
by Henry Haugen and Torger
Torgerson. They found three
pieces of paper on which Olson
had written a farewell to his
mother, brother and sister, who
live near Fonda, and had dir
ected that no search be made
for his body south of the house.
The next day the body was
found about forty rods north Of
the house by Amund Noraberg,
Ole Haugen and Osten Hau-
gen. They notified the officials
and on Saturday Coroner Emil
Johnsgaard, Sheriff N. HI. Nc
Kinnon and States Attorney ].
j. Weeks went to the place
where the body was found and
held an inquest. A coroner's
jury composed of g. Hanson,
Hans Hjertaas and Lars Larsen
heard the evidence and brought
in a verdict to the effect that
said Ole T. Olson came to his
death from a wound by bullet
from. a 3O-3O rifle, inflicted by
himself" ~
Olson was about thirty-niue
years of age. He was married
June 2, 1904, to Miss Rose Oh
son but the couple had not liv-
ed together for some time.
They had no children. The
decendent had been in this
part of the county for several
years. At one time he was
employed in Romanson's pool
room in this city but for the
past six years he has lived on
the farm where he took his
life. The body was buried
Sunday in the cemetery near
Lake Metigoshe.

SUICIDE NEAR WILLOW CITY.
CyprIen Potvln, a Farmer, Hanged
Himself Wednesday.

Cyprien Potvin, a farmer liv-
ing about a mile north of Will
low City, hanged himself in
his barn Wednesday afternoon.
He was last seen alive by his
father, George Potvin, about
noon, and then told his father
he was going to Cote's, a
neighbor. About three o'clock
the old gentleman. thinking it
was time for his son to return,
went to the barn and found the
door locked from the inside.
On forcing an entrance he dis
covered the dead body of his
son, hanging by rope fastened
to>a rafter.
The officers we're notified
and ]. J. Murphy, assistant
states attorney, who was in
Willow City, called Coroner
Emil Johnsgaard. A coroner's
jury composed of George F.
Lescault, Austin Sanderson
and Napoleon Loiselle, was
summoned. Only three wit
nesses were examined: George
Potvin, the dead mans father;
David Sanderson, a neighbor' 8
boy who had been called by
the father to view the remains;
and George Potvin, Jr., of Will
low City, the decedent's broth
er. The verdict of the jury
was to the effect that Cy prien
Potvin came to his death by
his own hand by hanging him
self with rope around his
neck until dead"
Potvin was about forty-fve
years of age, His wife died
two years ago, leaving two
children who have since been
cared for by Mrs. John Sander
son. The father of the deced-
ent testified at the inquest that
his son had not acted altogether
right the past two months but
had seemed better few days
previous to the day he took
his life. 1t is likely that he
committed the act in fit of
despondency.

to a subpoena in U. S. court at
Fargo Tuesday, failed to, make
his appearance there, and grave
fears are entertained as to why.
AS he was known to have had
some money, as well as inform
alton valuable to the govern

In the meantime his affairs

Flax Straw May be Utilized.

1t is estimated that fully
1000. 600 tons of flax straw are
raised annually III this state
This straw is now wasted or
bhrned. Prof. Bolley, h e
eminent expert on flax and flax
fiber says, Much of which, in
quality and length for the pro-
duction of fiber, far excells the
average straw from which the
Russian peasant makes the
fiber which chiefly supplies the
linen fabrics of the world.
There is not the slightest
doubt about the fiber producing
quality of North Dakota flax
straw. 1t has been thoroughly
tested with excellent results.
The methods that are now
used in Ireland and other parts
of Europe where linen fabrics
are made, have been employed
for many years. The process
of extraction of the fiber from
the straw is known as retting.
There are two methods of ret
ting in general use. one that of
dew retting in common practice
in Russia, and the other is to
make suitable bundles of the
straw and submerge them in a
running stream. Both methods
require about four months 8
time to prepare the straw for
breaking and sscutching.
Modern science has made
vast Improvements over this
method and today it is possible
to produce fiber in three hours,
where formerly it took four
months.
& There are several methods of
accomplishing these results.
The United States Linen Flax
corporation, h secured
patents on a process, that makes
an excellent fiber from flax
straw in three hours. The
Flick ertail Linen Mills COM
pany, have decided to adopt
their method and with this OBJ
sject in view, have made ar
rangements to erect mill in
the new town of Energy.
Towels and other linen pro-
ducts will be manufactured to
supply the North Dakota trade.
This industry will give employ
ment to 500 people at good
wages.
1t has been a cause for much
comment, the useless waste Of
flax straw, that has been going
on for years, but no one has
come forward in a practical
way to save the waste.
Speaking of the utilization
of the straw that is now burn
ed, Senator Nc Cunber. in a
speech advocating the adnis-
sion Of flax making machinery

 At the conclusion of pr. Mccormack s address. which covered many subjects not even mentioned here, he was made an honorary member If the Young Mems Phoenix club by a unanimous rising vote of the members present.
 Colonel McClintock spoke of the i'm portance which sanitation has come to be regarded in military organizations during the last twelve years. Camp Atascadero he cited as one with per feet sanitation-indeed, so great was the care exercised there that it was nicknamed Camp Sanitation" But in marked contrast to the camps of the past, the men did not get sick.

The Cutting Up of Large Tracts is Going on Faster Than Most

From time to time The Republican has been able to give, through the courtesy of Secretary Chas. A.

That of, course means in creasing population for in most cases the transfer of tracts, large Or small, srer to new owners.

 The figures referred to are those showing the, number of transfers of title during stated period and ap- ply only tO lands signed to member ship in the water users association, so the figures do not show all the transfers in the county, though they include the major part or the trans fers in the. Irrigated section. For those who do not know it Is eX- plained again that any parcel Of land signed to the. association is practi
