Fifty fairlv comfortable huts, more
now house a large number of Russian

by the Russians when they refused to

ago. The present huts are large and
rather roomy, with shady little porches
extending over the doorways, and di-
minutive lanais are attached to many
of the mating houses in which the
squatters dine.
Last evening the camp was one of
the most orderly places in the city, and
the place resounded with laughter and
houses came the rays of candle and
lamp light. Others were in darkness,
but the occupants had the door flaps
open, the men smoking and chatting
with the women. The camp presented
an appearance of responsibility, and its

The tinkle of the guitar and the more
! ambitious and sonorous strains of the

camp. with vocal accompaniment which
evidenced light hearts.
There are several score of people
living in the shack-village, most of the
men finding employment as stevedores

lIBELOUs CIRCULARS OUT

Hawaii NAV have the benefit of an

been taken up by Samuel Gompera, for
uanv years president of the American
Federation of Labor, and by the s.,
Sast organization in New York. has
been cabled here by the Associated
Press. and it seems to be expected that
there will be some sort of an investi-
CATION as a result Of their activities.
There is a small body of local social

On the authorities here IN connection
With the Russian experiment. Some
time ago circular was distributed
hcally, headed "Lawless Brutality,
aid referring to the actions of the pc
lice in discussing a crowd of Russians
sho riotously gathered at the police
ststion to demand the release Of a
hssian under arrest. The circular was
nbd in its terms, speaking OF women
aid children being trimpled under
tn feet of horses, though the record
shows no one injured The circular is
said to have been widely distributed
among socialist organizations on the
Mainland. 1t gave the impression that
the police were the aggressors, and
tubbed and whipped the Russians to
make them 90 to work on plantations.
Il makes no mention of the fact that
the Russians had gathered in mob IN
front Of the police headquarters of Ho-
n0lulu and that the police merely dis
persed them when they refused to obey
the sheriff 5 orders to leave.
That American socialism is going to
turn its guns on Hawaii is indicated by
the cable information from Los Ange-
les yesterday and the reports OF the
activities of local members of this sect
party or whatever rank it claims.
While the local socialists are few IN
numbers. twenty being large estimate
Of those who attend the Friday meet

SAMUEL GLOVER
PASSES TO REST
Word Received Tuesday o
His Death at His Home
in Minneapolis.
Well Known Figure in Oakes-
Owned Largest Farm in
Dickey County.

Word was received in Oakes Tuesday
evening that Samuel Glover was dead
at his home in Minneapolis. The i'm
mediate cause could not be learned but
he was known to be in feeble health
for some time, due mostly to his ad-
vanced age.
Samuel Glover and his son Fred have
owned and conducted the Glover farm,
the largest farm in the vicinity and up
wards of 10000 acres in extent, for
over twenty years, excepting that the
past two years they have rented most
of it. In recent years Mr.. Glover, Sr.
uas spent most of his time in Mime
apolis, the active management of the
big farm being left to his son.
In the course of his operations he has
dealt extensively in sheep, cattle and
horses and raised large acreage of
wheat and other grains at all times.
A sale held in Oakes last spring of
thoroughbred Percheron horses bred on
the Glover farm amounted to $4,000.
Probably the greatest single benefit
that Mr.. Glover ever brought the COM
munity was the introduction of durum
wheat, variety that has been
highly successful and brought much
profit to the district. 100000 worth of
durum was sold from one crop off the
Glover farm.

GROWING INTEREST
IN FIBRE INDUSTRY.
Roughly Estimated One Writer
Figures Loss Of Flax Straw
S24O, 900, 600 a Year.
Local Men Are Investigating
the Proposition and Are
Pleased at Outlook.

The resources of our state that are
as yet scarcely considered, that have
not been reached by the procession of
development, will in twenty or thirty
years foot up larger totals of output
than the annual totals for grains and
live stock that we are so. justly proud
of at present.
The great additional value that will
be given to our unmeasured deposits of
Ignite by the briquetting process is
one item and supplies an answer to the
problem of power for our future fac
tories, The deposits of pottery and
brick clay is another asset that cannot
as yet be realized.
But another subject that is of more
immediate interest is flax fibre, pro-
duct that we are producing and wasting
every year.
In the course of an article on this
subject the Pembina, Pioneer Press
says:
s'That the resources of North Dakota
-eminently fit it for 'manufactur-
ing state, Is beginning to find many ad-
/. herents among well informed men. The
vast deposits of coal, the millions of
tons of flax straw which are now
burned annually, would, if made into
linen, give employment to 2OO,O 600 peo-
pie, and the finished product would
have a value at the mill door of
$24O, ,O0O, 900.
It is the general belief that nearly
all the linen used in the world is made
in Ireland; this belief is not warranted
by the facts. Germany, Belgium and
France manufacture linen goods on a
large scale.
Then again, contrary to the general
belief, Ireland raises only small por-
tion of the straw that it uses in the
manufacture Of linen, the greater part
r-.of the strawscoming from Russia.
OF the flax straw used in the manu-
facture Of linen in the entire world,
Russia raises s5.2 per cent; Austria 6.a

Joe Is Here.

| Josephus Marcus Aurelius Reynolds,
the rugged old war horse who resides
beside the troubled waters of Devils
Lake, is in town this week. The word
old is used figuratively and not as a
reflection on Joe's age or as an insinu-
alton that there is any discernible de-
cline in his mental or physical prowess.
Like some of the horses he has traded
in the past, Joe is just as old as when
Oakes got him twenty-four years ago
and no older. Just as light of heart,
nimble Of wit and elastic of muscle as
in the days when he and Ben Roddle
kept on opposite sides of the street out
Of regard for each others physical well

conversation and "reminiscences as a

winter.
When he tells of the early days when
Ed. Porter and Clay Mccartney made
life a burden to him there is cause for
admiration and wonder that he is a free
American citizen instead, of serving a
term for man slaughter.
Those must have been good old days.
Oakes was not. SO all fired big, busy or
dignifed but there was more sport and
excitement to the square inch.
Itis a source of regret to his friends
that Joe has remained single all these
years. It seems probable that the
little incident Of his embracing the
wrong lady in the dark had something
to do with it. Even the report that he
had taken for himself "a squaw with
nine quarters of land, proved errone-
ous. Reports say he secured the land
and then threw the primitive lady over
on the ground that she was not his
true soul-mate. Il
Our former townsman has prospered
up in Benson county and the statement
does not necessarily imply that the
Fort Fotten Indians are easy in the
matter Of horse trading.

per cent; France 81 per cent; and Ire
land LIZ per cent. Now, North Dakota
raises as many, if not more tons of
flax straw than Russia.
Professor H. Bachelor Of Fargo, has
made an exhaustive study Of North
Dakota flax straw. He gives it as his
opinion that the straw is suitable for
the manufacture of linen goods, not
only Of the inferior grades, but also the
finer qualities. He states it as his be-
lief that in q generation North Dakota
will become the linen center of the
world y
The investigation of fax twine ques-
tions by representatives of the local
commercial club has brought out many
interesting points about the fibre taken
from the heaps of brown straw that
lay neglected all over our fields. For
instance it is not the finer part of the
fibre that used in making binding
twine, only the coarse portion being
practical for this purpose. The finer
portion could be made into twine but it
is too valuable for other purposes. By
the process now employed by the Min
neapolis company the better part of
the tow, (the whole mass of fibre after
it is separated from the woody part of
straw is carded out and sold as oakum,
which, as is generally known, is the
fluffy material that comes loose twisted
hanks and is used in great quantities
by plumbers, contractors and boat
builders.
The carding process carried farther
would separate from this better part
of the tow, a grace of fibre entirely
suitable for the making of coarse linen.
1t must be borne in mind that all
this is from the ordinary flax straw as
it is now grown, for the seed only,
with no attention to preserving the
fibre value. The growing of flax for
the fibre is subject of much interest
and too lengthy for exhaustive discus
sion in this article but it should be
mentioned in passing that reports of
government experts to the secretary of
agriculture show that fibre of fine
quality can be grown in different parts
of the United States, that AZ per cent
of the straw weight is fibre that has a
commercial value as high as $500 per
ton. This of course is when the flax
is grown especially for the fibre.
Sure it is that we live in flax coun-
try excelled by no part of the new
world at. least. But some are alarmed
by the belief that far cannot be raised
on old ground. Why then is it that in
parts Of the old state of Pennsylvania,
they are raising flax year after year,
raising it for the fibre and realizing big
prices?
The rapid progress of the science of
agriculture has already !, dissipated
many beliefs of long standing and can
be depended on to dispose of the flax
on old ground problem when the COM
mercial inducements are strong enough.

Ritterbush & Son, the architects
have started to arrange the screen in
the brick building into which the
C. M. c. will move their clothing and
furnishing stock in order to make
necessary changes and more room in
their large building for dry goods, mil
linery and shoes. When they moved
into their present quarters over fifteen
years ago, (Which was then five or six
times the capacity of the one they va
cated) they thought it large enough
for all time to come but they have
since beeh reminded that they were
not capable of foreseeing the great
development and progress that was in
store for Oakes and the surrounding
country in so short a space Of time.
Their determination has always been
to keep abreast and even little ahead
of their surroundings, and fully meet
all business demands. This they feel
they have done in mercantile way, at
least taking into consideration the
quantity, quality and price of goods
they have supplied their customers
with, compared with stores in the twin
cities and larger cities farther east.
The change they are about to make
was planned year ago. Their ambi-
tion has always been to be in the lead
and serve their customers with the best
and most stylish goods in the market,
the same spirit will continue to actuate
every movement with them in the
future.
In the past they prepared each season
for more trade and they got it. 1t re-
quired great deal of hard work year
after year to gain the ultimate victory,
but they haven't grown any faster than
other. lines. of business-just kept
apace with the procession. The coun-
try is growing in wealth and population
year after ,year. The farm products
are steadily increasing in abundance
and value. Certain sections, especially
the northwest shows most pronounced
developments, the like of which has
never been equaled.
The G. M. c. is growing growing
every day, in every way. Why
shouldn't their business grow? Why
Ishonldn't t every mans business grow,
who has confidence in himself, his
methods, and his wares? 4
Confidence is the keynote confidence
