Indiana is IN rather a chaotic state.
There are at present eleven Demo-
Gratis and two Republicans in the
House, but very few OF this number
are confident OF their berths in the next
Congress. Senator BeVeridge, one OF
the leading insurgents IN the upper
house, dominates the Republican party
in this state.
In Iowa there are eleven congress
men TO be elected. AT the present time ten
OF these are Republicans. but the Dem
Ocrats feel hopeful OF capturing this
state, owing 10 the split in the Repub-
-lican ranks. A number OF insurgents
have been nominated on independent
tickets where the standpatters have re
ceived the regular nominations.

publican leaders seem confident or

In Illinois there is another problem

districts in this state, six OF which are
at present represented by Democrats
and the remainder by Republicans. A
large number OF these are in the doubt

The WaShbur1l Schools
Are Of the Very Best
Many Pupils From Other Towns are in Attendance
in the High School and Lower Grades
New Commercial Course Now

Anyone outside of school circles
does not realize how many children
have entered theWashburn schools
this fall. Children from the coun.
try and different towns near here
desire a better education than they
can get in their home community.
The following list will prove the
fact. Those who have entered the
high school are: Lester Caldwell.
Coleharbor, Fred Cooper. Bene-
dict: Rose Thorstenson, country;
Vesta Hubbell. Wilton: Elzene
Findley and nellie Furst. Conkling;
and Grace Herred who lives nine
miles from Washburn but stays in
the city during the week, In the
eighth grade are: Dora Carlson.
country: Helen Herred, country:
Rose Meyers. Underwood: Minnie
and Celia Edelberg. Ong. Burleigh
county: Mary Sans, Hensler: Vic
tor Thorstenson. country: Albert
Peterson, country: and Russ Jac-
OLSON. Katryn. Barnes county.
Only three of the pupils come in
from the country every day and as
soon as the weather gets colder
they will board in the city.
The list shows seventeen pupils
from outside and there are more
that are making arrangements to
enter soon. Some want places
where they can work for their
board and attend school and if any
one knows of place they should
notify Prof. Parker.
School children are working for
their board at the following places
Star restaurant, O. K. restaurant,
and Mesdames Jos. Mann. Herb
Hanson, Ranard. j. E. Nelson and
G. 0. Raugust.
No tuition whatever is charged
these pupils and they are getting
an education with very little mon
ey expended.

Will Soon Be Ready

The men who are working on the
bitches for the water mains made
big headway while on main street
as they had no rocks to bother
them. At the rate they are now
digging they will be thru the first
part of next week. The settling
tanks are also nearing completion
and before long Washburn will be
one of the small cities with a good
water works system owned and
controlled by the city.
It has already begun to make a
difference in the city. Farmers
are making arrangements to not
only send their children here to
school but to move in themselves
where they can enjoy the advan-
tages given here.
Sometime ago several families
moved to Canada from here and as
a consequence there were several
vacant honses. The cry went up
at once that Washburn was going
down. Today there is demand
for houses and rooms and the
farmers will have to build their
own homes in the city which will
be done before another year.

The farmers sell out and move in

only solution of the problem of
high prices is more work and less
idleness. The meat trust can be
fought to standstill by more peo-
pie producing what they consume.

learn to look upon the trust as a
benefactor who buys his surplus
stuff and puts it in cold storage as
a delectable food for those who
despise country life. The cold
storage man is the best friend the
farmer has.

Tried to Swim Missouri
Lost Life In Attempt
Howard Was Well Educated Indian From the
Ebowoods In the Fort Berthold Reser-
vation-Was Good Swimmer

Rec, N. D., October 3. = While
attempting to swim the Missouri
river here, Oscar j. Howard was
drowned. The Indians were to
hold council at the Mud lodge on
the south side of the river. Mr..
Howard, with number of others
came to the north bank but found
no boats on that side of the river.
The party waited some little time
for some one to appear on the 9TH
er side to bring the boat over
Mr.. Howard became impatient
and started across on horseback.
The horse went into the water un-
til he could wade no further and
turned back. When he reached
the shore the owner gave orders to
tie the horse to tree and said he
would swim across for boat.
He started and swan we'll until
about twenty-five feet from the op-
posite bank. He then called the
others on the bank and repeated
twice, II am played OUT
He then sank and came up again
about twenty. five feet further down
the river. This was the last seen
of him.
Parties have been searching with
hooks and watching the bars be-
low. but up to this time the body
has not been discovered.
Mr.. Howard's wife died of con-
sumption some time ago. They
were the parents of three children
aged seven, five and three years.

Advertise n. Oak.
and Benefit By It
No Reason Why North Dakota Land
Should Not Double in Price
Says W. Louis Hill

"There are enough men in this
room to double the price of all
the land in North Dakota" said
Louis w. Hill, president of the
Great Northern railroad. while in
Fargo on his way to the coast in a
special.
In the interview Mr. Hill said:
1.-THE people of North Dakota
should pay more attention to their
own state. They should make a
stronger effort to keep people here.
All the western bound van passes
thru Fargo and when they go thru
this city the people Of this city
should make strenuous efforts to
keep them in the state. Instead
they let the people go on to Mon
tana and Oregon. and land that is
not half as good as your North Da-
kota land, and that is eighty miles
away from railroad, is bringing
in some cases $20O-an acre in Ore
gon.
"North Dakota people should be
getting twice as much for the land
in the state. You should attract
people to North Dakota. Boom it
and boost but for goodness sake,
do not knock it. Don't advertise
from coast to coast that you have
had a big blizzard or that some
thing else has gone wrong.
In St. Paul the merchants con-
slider that they doubled their busi-
ness by putting settlers in the
state and in the north west. They
are natural outlet and 50 is Far
go. They have the enthusiasm in
St. Paul, but not in Fargo. Far
go needs more enthusiasm. 1t is
to the interest of everybody in Da-
kota to see that the land doubles
its commercial value and the mer.
chants and business men of Fargo
should take this duty.
Il suggest that good move to
secure the doubling of the price of
the North Dakota land would be
to split the large farms into small
er ones. Farms that a man can go
out and till himself. This situa-
tion would create more enthusiasm
among the farmers themselves and
you would have denser popula-
tion with these many farms. and
the situation would be similar to
that of eastern and central states.
This division of the large farms
would create a larger and bigger
value for the land.
Il tell you, have more boosting.
Have the community stand behind
its own country and North Dakota
will be bigger and better state.
Look more after the development
Of North Dakota and talk and
talk and write Advertise the state
not some other state. and you will
see wonderful changes in North
Dakota.
