What 1t Is believed will be one of
Radcliffe's most pleasing features to
the undergraduate taste is the new
browsing room" recently opened in
the library building of the college at
Cambridge, Mass. The room, which
Is dedicated to Miss Agnes Irwin, dean
for fifteen years of the college. who
retired last June, is one Of the most
attractive corners In the new building.
1t is like the luxurious lounging room
Of mans club, with it's great easy
chairs and reading tables. And the
dignity common to the ordinary library
rooms Is lacking, for not a book of
solid reading is allowed on its shelves,
which are filed with the latest plays
and novels. 1t is the understanding
that the room shall be for comfort
wholly, and it has already become pop
ular.

crease Hitting.
An application has been made at the
patent Office in Washington for patent
on baseball bat which promises to
solve the problem that is bothering the
baseball world at the present time by
increasing the interest and popularity
II the national game. The two prin-
cipal advantages which are claimed
are:
F1rst.-That foul balls which now
glance off the round bat will take a
more perpendicular direction, enabling
the catcher to have opportunities to
put out the batter which he now lacks
and incidentally avoiding the annoy
Ing monotony Of watching ball after
ball disappear over the grand stand.
while the catcher dashes into the boxes
or against the net in the vain effort for
an out.
Second.-Increasing the chances Of
hitting fair ball and with more pre-
cision as to direction and distance. 1t
Is evident that fat surface even OF
half an inch will offer much greater
degree Of certainty to the batter than
with the round bat, where one point
must meet the ball in order to drive 1t
straight ahead, and, similarly, II the
ball strikes above the center OF the
bat the tendency will be to glance up
ward from fat surface.
In every department Of the game OF
baseball improvements have been
made since its inception except in the
matter Of the bat, which Is now prac-
tcally what 1t was In the beginning.
Several prominent baseball players
have expressed favorable opinions OF
this bat, and as soon as the spring sea.

Wettest Place In Great Britain.

Snowdonia, Wales, is given credit
for being the wettest place in Great
Britain by reason of 237 inches Of
rainfall in 1908. The gauges placed on
a grassy slope 1,4S0 feet above sea
level on the Snowden side of Llydaw
and examined each day at 9 a. m. gave
the above number of inches of fall for
the year.
Previous to this report it was al
ways considered that the Stye, at the
end Of Borrowdale, Cumberland, was
the wettest place In England. The av-
erage annual rainfall at that point Il
about 10 inches.

Some Victims and Conquerers Of the
Rapids.
Robinson, Mcintyre and Jones
made the first known trip through
the rapids in a small steamer in
1861.
Capt. Matthew Webb, the famous
English swimmer, paid his life as the
penalty for his folly in attempting to
swim the rapids in 1888.
Carlisle D. Graham has gone
through the rapids five times in a
barrel, and swan the perilous courses
with the aid of life preservers in
1901.
William ]. Kendall swan the rap
ids in 1886.
c. Alexander Percy made two trips
in boat, the first in 1887
George Hazlitt and Sadie Allen
made the trip in a barrel in 1885.
Robert w. Flack attempted the
trip in a boat but was drowned, in
1889.
Walter G. Campbell had a thrill
ing experience which almost cost him
his life in covering the course in a
boat in 1889.
F. w. Bowser covered the course
in a boat in 1900.
Peter Nilsson covered the course
in a steamboat in 1901.
c. A Percy made the trip in a
boat in 1902.

for six hours. She died shortly after
being rescued from the barrel. This
happened in 1902.
Mrs. Anna Taylor is the only per-
son who has ever gone over the falls
and lived to tell the tale. She &C
complished this death-defying feat In
1901, when she went over the horse
shoe falls in a barrel.
Detroit, Mich, March 5.-The ira
gle lure of Niagara has attracted an
other adventurer, w. ]. Rose, aged
FL, of this city, who will attempt to
ride the treacherous and turbulent
rapids in specially constructed mo-
tor boat in the early part of June.
This feat has been successfully ac-
complished a number of times in bar
rels and boats, and a few of the more
daring have swan it with the aid of
life preservers. But 1t has more often
resulted in the death of the would
be conquerer.
Rose, however, has had an excel
lent training, and has shot number
of rapids throughout the country.
The boat in which he will attempt
his forthcoming trip is 81 feet long
and is driven by 20-horsepower en-
CINE The boat will not be fitted
with air chambers or other non-sink-
able apparatus as Rose thinks his
knowledge of navigation will enable
him to guide the boat over the route
without its turning over.
The journey will begin at the foot
of the falls and end at Lewiston, a
distance of six miles, and he expects
to negotiate the distance in ten min
utes.

! he can get it. If he does like it and
| wants to keep away from it as many do,
he will probably come here. The sober
ones will generally come to a place
where their fellows are sober. All of
them will, to certain degree, be where
liquor is hard to get and if gotten it will
not be often, hence crime caused by
liquor cannot be common. That this
alone helps keep criminal cases out OF
court seems to be pretty clear, besides
giving the farmers that much better men
and work, with corresponding other ad-
vantages.
In civil litigation we have the paradox
of more justices of peace than we have
cases. Under the law, between county,
city and townships we have somewhere
about seventy five justices of the peace,
but the number of cases tried annually
show that the emphasis on their titles is
on the ''peace" part-as it should be and
in most cases no doubt is. Most of our
justices never enter case on their dock
cts. Many of them never have one at
all, and most of the others are settled
by the justice as friendly arbitrator
and as neighbor. Of course all this is
rather hard on the legal fraternity in the
county, but most of them find other le-
gal work outside of litigation and add a
land and loan business in order to make
living.
To intending or possible immigrants
from other places and states, we think
this showing is not the leasto Pembina
county's advantages. If you want to
move to county full of peace-loving
law-abiding citizens that have less blind
pigs and law suits. and more school
houses and churches than any other
community of equal size and popula-
tion, then come to Pembina county. 1t
is good place to bring up your boys
and girls.

GRAIN DOcKAGE

4 Believing that the gram growers of
our state of North Dakota have no idea
Or conception of the amount they are
losing each year on dockage, will say we
find on close investigation that the loss
each year amounts to the enormous sum
of 81 300 100000 or s6,5OO,OOO.OO for the
last i've years.
/, These screenings are worth from bl2 to
$40 per ton at the terminal markets.
They are worth every dollar as much
where they are grown, for feed purposes.
Do not forget that you pay the freight
on these screenings and deliver them at
the termierls- mills and elevators
--absolutly free of charge to them. To
move these screenings to terminals
would require more than 5000 cars of 80
tons capacity each year. The value of
this product which you have actually
given away, would have built court
house and college at cost of about
$4,000 each, within every county of your
state in the last five years.
We consider the question of dockage
very grave matter to our grain growers,
and for this reason are writing upon this
question at this time hoping that this
article will give you some food for
thought along lines that in the near fut-
ure will greatly accrue to your benefit.
Every elevator in the state should
clean every bushel of grain shipped to
terminal markets, thereby saving the
dockage and for the fact that dirty grain
in great many cases lowers the grade,
one and sometimes two grades. AS an
illustration of what can be done by the
proper handling of a country elevator,
will give you few facts for your earnest
consideration.
We will take for consideration an ele
vator handling 100 cars of wheat and
fax per season. The value of the screen
inle where the grain is cleaned and the
profit to be gained by reason of being
properly cleaned on better grades, would
be about 100000. This would pay
every item of expense in connection with
operating and maintaining of the ele-
vator. This article applies to the grain
growers, of our own great state, but also
to our sister states of South Dakota and
Minnesota.
Another proposition of vital and far
reaching Importance to grain growers,
which we understand will be taken up
at the Tr-State grain growers meeting
to be held at Fargo next month, we wish
to say word. We believe that every

sofa, should have at least one or more of
their representatives in attendance at
thatimeeting, to consider the subject of
Terminal Elevator, which is to be cou-
sldered at that time by the grain
growers, and which we believe most es-
sential to the right and proper handling
Of all of our grain.

A PEACEFUL AND LAW
ABIDING PEOPLE

The fact that court was in session this
week in its regular term without need
ing ,ury,is worth little thought. Du-
ring the past twelve months the clerk of
courts records show only seven criminal
cases, two of which were for minors sent
to the reform school, and most of the
balance were mild cases of bllnd-pig-
ging. In civil matters there were but
seven cases appealed from justice court
(only two since the July term) and in
Guiding these only sixty-one cases alto
gether on the calendar. Both criminally
and civilly this is very remarkable
showing for a county Of about 1900
people, and probably equaled by few it
any counties in the United States.
Not only do We have the behavior Of
our own citlzeus reflected by this rec
ord, bit annually during the fall months
of harvest and threshing of about sixty
days we have with us perhaps 1000 "ho-
boes," who are transients, and who are
popularity not supposed to be of the
more law-abiding class. Indeed the past
records of the court in some previous
years showed more crime committed by
these wayfarers than by all the rest Of
the people Of county.
It is evident. therefore, that we are
now getting better behaved class Of
harveeters and threshers than we had in
former years.
The why Of this peaceful state Of
things may be traced to many different
things by as many different people. But,
