Esmond, N. D., Jan. 3.--Interest in
the proposed new cutoff OF the Great
Northern railroad from Ayr west VIA.

point near the latter town, ts APP
preaching fever heat In this vicinity.
INQUIRY of abstracters at the various
county seats through which the new
line is expected TO pass, shows that
deeds have been recorded to the Da-
kota & Great Northern Townsite Co,
for the following lands, presumably
for townsite purposes:
In McHenry county, NV OF 7-1S6-
n and Sc 1s-154-79.
In Pierce county NV 3s-151-72.
In Wells county, SE 20-150-T0 and
Sc 5-149-6S.
In Eddy county, all of section 81
1896, except twenty acres, auso parts
OF section S2-149-66, and sundry town
lots in New Rockford: also NV 3D.
14S-65.
In Griggs county, Sc 4-145-61, 3
half of Sc 20 and N half NE 29-145-
60 and NV 20-144-5S.
The Great Northern Ry. Co. has also
filed lis pendens in suites to condemn
right of way over certain school lands,
g, section 36-152-75, McHenry coun-
ty, and s6-149-67, Eddy county.
New Rockford people expect that
town to be made a freight division.
and perhaps a passenger division, and
the purchase of so much land near
town is presumably for shops and
roundhouse, and about nine side
tracks.
The state bank of Bremen has fled
articles of incorporation, and viii do
business in the townsite on Sc 5-14s-
6S. (near the old postoffice Of Twist,
which is about thirteen miles south Of
Flora, or twelve miles northwest of
New Rockford). The other town in
Wells county will be about thirteen
miles south of Hesper, or four miles
south of Klara. The townsite in
Pierce county will be about eighteen
miles southwest of Esmond, or about
eight miles northwest of Earvey.

BAN ON MUTILATING
COINS REITERATED
UNCLE SAM TELLS JEWELLERS
THE MUST NOT MAR COIN
AGE OF NATION.

New York, Jan. 3.--Maiden Lane
jewelers. of this city have been nott-
fed that the practice of converting
gold and silver coins into ornaments
and selling them at profit is a viola
ton of federal law, and must cease.
The usual process has been to smooth
off one side of coin, engrave an ini-
tial, monogram or other design on 1t,
while the other side remains the same
as when 1t left the min.
Coins so multilated have been known
to find their way into circulation. as
their identity has not been destroyed.
Jewellers on the Pacific coast do not
come under the list of manufacturers
who are to be notified, because golt
and silver are to be had In that sectiot
of the country without resorring Il
the coins, although the first report 81
this violation of the federal law CAM
from California.
Secret service men made a carefHs
examination and discovered that most
of this work was done in Chicago, st
Louis, Cleveland, New Orleans, Pitts
burg Philadelphia, New York and
Boston, Manufacturing jewellers made
the first complaint because this meth
cd of utilizing coins cut into their busi-
ness in a remarkable degree.
The complaint once made, the gov
eminent at once ser it's men to work
to locate those who were responsible
for the violation. Manufacturing jew
elers are in the habit Of melting gold
coin instead of buying the metal in bull
lion. and this Is permitted, as the coins
are thus completely destroyed. It Is
often more convenient for jeweler to
get coin than gold bullion for melting,
and advantage is taken OF the coin be-
cause it carries with 1t the govern
ments guarantee of quality and needs
no further assay.

BELGIUM'S new king
TO end CONGO ABUSES

Brussels, Jan. 3.--An authoritative
announcement today says King Albert
has accepted the designations of the
entire civil and military staffs of the
late King Leopold. including that of
Baron Wahis, governor general of the
Belgian Congo.
This is accepted as the preliminary
step to stamping out the old regime
in the Congo, and putting an end to
the abuses.
In his speech in ascending the
throne Albert promised to continue
the "just and humane rule" in the
Congo. This is believed to have been
but a polite way of pledging an inn
provement without reflecting on Leo
pold. Baron Wants resisted his re-
tirement vigorously.

POSITIONS FOUND FOR ALL
Ingenious Scheme Of PhlIanthrorist
That Worked Well for All
Parties Concerned.

After the civil war many freedmen
were sent from the southern states to
the north to fnd employment, and ex-
aetly how TO aid them was often quite
difficult problem. In one case. for
example. a Boston clergyman found
himself responsible for the welfare Of
80 negro women, coming by boat from
Virginia. Time was passing, and he
did not know where he could put
them. On the day before the steamer
was due he CHANGED to meet the late
Rev Dr. Edward Everett Hale on the
street
10 him he told his story. DR.. Hale
looked puzzled. I'm sure don't
know what to suggest" he said n
could give you five dollars, but that
wouldn't do much good. Let me
think"
Finally this scheme was evolved II
WAS decided to insert an advertise
ment in one of the local newspapers
to the effect that 80 cooks were com
Ing from Virginia. Dr. Hale, who
doubtless was aware OF the domestic
troubles of the Boston ladies, went
away smiling, and the other posted OF
TO the office of the Transcript.
The next day Mr.. Hale left town for
his summer vacation, and 1t was not
till fall that he heard the outcome OF
his experiment. On his return he
found letter from the clergyman
awaiting him.

There is a school for cowboys near

but Is less so when you learn the pur.

young men who intend to locate In

the bank OF the Thames, within a few
hours ride Of the center OF the
worlds metropolis, the students are
surrounded by good imitation OF
life on the prairie or the bush. In
winter they sleep in the rough bunk
houses, and In summer In tents or In
the open air. They are taught to
care for their horses, and how to ride
them, how to make fences, brand cat.

to handle rifles and revolvers. The
school also provides course III scout

BLAckFEET GOING TO WORK
Tribe of indians Helping Uncle Sam
With One Of His Reclamation
Projects.

Uncle Sam found the Indian such a
good workman In the year 1909 that
he has formed an entirely new opinion
OF that erstwhile troublesome person.
OF course there are still many red
men on reservations living on the
bounty Ct this government and show
ing no disposition TO get out and earn
a living. but their number is becoming
smaller every year.
Last year the Biackfeet tribe put
their shoulders to the wheel and made
the reclamation services Blackfeet
project in Montana big success.
Other kinds OF labor, says the Van
Norden Magazine, simply could not be
had. SO the red man was the sole re-
lance OF Director Newell.
AS in the case of the Apaches OF
Arizona, the Blackfeet proved to be
men of their word They wanted to
know Just how many hours they were
to work and the character of the
work they were to do, Then they went
at it with will, and never did they
shirk or make excuses.
Once the time for quitting came,
however, they knocked of with all the
eagerness and promptness Of union
men. They displayed remarkable In
teliigence and eagerness to learn.
Moreover, they gave evidence of de-
sire to take up the ways of the civil.
lied, to live in houses and observe the
laws of health.
