Prof. Stossmeister OF the Minot
College of Commerce, deserves con
siderable of credit for making such a
success Of his excellent school. The
pupils are coming in every day and
it is safe to say hat they dump into
Minot hundred dollars day right
now. Most Of them come from the
surrounding towns and were this
school not located here, many Of them
would 60 away to Grand Forks, Fargo
or Minneapolis They san do Just as
well here, and better than in many

A half dozen young men riding past
a farm house southwest Of this city
early one morning last week, on their
way out to hunt, in playful mood,
pointed their guns at the house wife
who was Just returning to the house
with an armful Of wood. The woman
dropped her wood and threw up her
hands, much to the merriment Of the
hunters. It may be a great Joke to
point gun at another person, but
the fool who does It ought to be given
lesson that he will remember. Every
day or 50, we read Of accidents that
happepn from just such pranks.

TIM ELY TALKS

Ptckinos From the Panhandle.
In the Panhandle" Of Idaho lies
Lake Pend d'Ortelle. Tributary to
this beautiful sheet of clear water,
and limited on the east BY tho Cabi-
net and Bitter Roo mountains and to
the west by the Columbia river. ma
ture has planted one OF her choicest
pine trees, which until now the wood
mans axe has left uncut.
Attention was first drawn to this
rough, rugged country by the French
Canadians over fifty years ago. Later
tales of its gold and silver attracted
the adventurer and prospector in civil
war times. Still more recently the
timber man has shown that this semi
arid, mountainous country produces
one Of the softest, most velvety spe-
cies OF pine. These trees have grown
slowly; their texture is, therefore,
fine and close knit. Their bark is
very thick and as there Is no under
brush they are, to some extent, pro-
tected from fires.
From this famous Pine district we
have secured some choice strips,
strips, which will take splendid nat
ural finish.
In grading this attractive stock of
Selects" a quantity Of excellent
sheathing boards has accumulated,
which your inspection will prove to
be particularly adapted for repairs
and roof boards. Let us show it to
you. Rogers Lumber Co., John Olson,
Manager.

It is n covering for automobile tires. of some resilien, substance. probably a composition of fabric and rubber. that rather adds to the smoothness of the carriage of the machine. while it is at the same time warranted to be pune ture proof. Another advantage is that it makes the tire larger. resulting in easier travel over sandy roads.

"DRY" RRlGATION-From Pres- colt comes term, dry irrigation,
 that will appeal to some of the old timers in this valley who remember the days when they were trying to ir- rigate with dry ditches. The term is taken from Prescott paper which recites that James Davis. who lives in Ferguson valley in Yavapai county, comtemplates the building of a con crete dam for storage purposes, cal culated to furnish water for about 200 acres of his own land. and that he will also experiment with dry irri- gation on an additional acreage. Whatever may come of his dry" ex- pertinent, he is doubtless on the right track in the matter of his storage dam and in the future years it is alto gether likely that there will be con- structed many little private storage dams in the mountain valleys of Ari- Zona. There are hundreds of places where good crops can be raised on small benches if only a little water is stored each year to help over the dry seasons and when land in the west becomes more valuable these op- portunities will be improved It is also recalled that in the matter of agriculture Yavapai took the blue rib bon at the territorial fair, a thing that rockribbed county should long be proud of and more favored agricultur- al sections should keep in mind against the days of future exhibitions, for to large extent it may be said that Yavapai won by default. That IS a criticism on the agricultural counties rather than on Yavapai, for the former did not try as hard as they might

 rear seat after Saturdays game. The Coyotes have been playing pretty swift

MACON MAN IN A MANLESS PULLMAN
At Least He Was the Only Man. But There Were Ladies.
What Happened by Word and Act

ing car discOmfOrts, abused the pOr-
ter, and the conductor who had new
er been seen, and having thus be-
come chummy they said any amount
of things they would not have said
had they known that a man snug
gled in lower three, under the fat
lady with the big feet, which, being
too big to keep in the berth, dangled
over the side to agitate the curtain
of the lower.
1t was while they were in the
midst of their womanly chatter that
the presence of a man in the car
was revealed. The Maconite began
to realize that he was in as bad a
fix as the ladies. How he was going
to dress himself in car filled with
women was a puzzle. The more he
thought about it the more uncom-
Portable he became. Usually he
could gather up an armful of buds
and dress in the smoker, but under
the present circumstances he must
make his toilet complete. And when
he thought that if he waited much
longer the berths occupied by the
ladies would be made up, and thus
they would be given a unobstructed
view of his as he passed through
the perspiration oozed. This last
thought decided him. Placing his
mouth close to the parting of the
curtains, just under the fat ladys
feet, he yelled:
Porter"
CONSERVATION, screams, the tight
ening of curtains, and then absolute
silence save the rumbling of the
train. The fat lady in upper three
drew in her feet with such an effort
as to land her against the side of the
car The lady in upper ten was half
way down when the voice of the
man was heard, and with a scream
she scrambled back, stepping on the
fingers of the lady in the lower.
The Maconite peered through his
curtains and saw that every other
curtain was drawn tight. He gath
cred up his raiment, as had always
been his custom on sleeping cars,
and proceeded to the smoking room,
silence reigning supreme in the car.
On his return to the sleeping COM
partment all the berths were made
up and the ladies seated, They
gave him the icy look. Later, when
he was being brushed off preparatory
to reaching Atlanta, he noticed that
the porter was in a better humor
than usual. Asking the cause the
porter said that every lady in the
car had given him twenty-five cents
each to hurry up and make up the
berths before that man got back"

THE ENGLISH DEW PONDS.
Why Water Collects on Hills While
the Valleys Are Parched.

Why Water Collects on Hills While
the Valleys Are Parched.
The question why Jack and Jill
went up" the hill, instead of down
to fetch the famous pail of water has
been solved by the latest dictiona-
ries, in which may be found the
word dew pond" 1t was to one
of these, which are always built upon
high grounds, that the two were
bound, says the Scientific American,
adding that probably it was located
on the English downs. Continuing
the writer says:
The NEUROLOGY of the down coun-
try is topsy-turvy, for a down is an
upland, and the downs afford a
bountiful supply of water, even when
the wales are parched. Hence the
singular spectacle of cattle being
driven to the hilltops and carts sent
uphill to procure water.
What is a dew pond? The word
is only to be found in the two new
est dictionaries, though it has been
used locally for a hundred years,
perhaps much longer.
Dew ponds date back to a prehis-
tOric era. They receive water direct
ly from the air-whether chiefly in
the form of rain, mist, or otherwise
is a question still unsettled, imper-
vious bottoms enabling them to re-
tain all the water they gather. The
bottom commonly consists of chalk
or clay, over which is strewn layer
of rubble to prevent perforation by
the hoofs of animals. A layer of
straw is often added The ponds
measure 80 to 70 feet across. and
the depth does not exceed three or
four feet.
''The theory that the ponds are
fed by dew-by the condensation of
the invisible moisture of the airs
supported by Edward A. Martin, who
has been making extensive observa-
tons in Sussex and who believes
that he has found an important
source of the water supply in the
frequent mists from the sea. From
the Geographical Journal of August,
1909, We quote the following:
Everyone acquainted with the
Sussex downs must be familiar with
the sea fogs which sweep inland
from the south. Ones clothing
quickly becomes covered with a de-
post of dew-like beads. On
Some of the downs in West Sussex
the highest parts are chosen for pond
construction, as being more exposed
to the moisture-laden winds. Dew
would not be deposited if the air
were in rapid motion, but fog
brought in from the sea would re-
main in spite Of the wind, provided
the temperature were sufficiently
low"
