ears Ago

AS long as six years ago, q Ward
county farmer, John j.. O'Neil sent
samples Of fax straw raised, at his
farm three miles northeast Of Minot.
to a fax fibre mill in New York City.
where a test was made Of it, and
where 1t was converted into fax fibre
Of the very finest quality. Mr.. O.
Neil Kept the samples all these years
and recently brot them to the indie
pendent Office where they may be
seen. He has two samples, one
specimen of the flax Abre after leav-
ing the decorticating machine. (what
ever, that is) and the other, the fibre
after being bleached and prepared
for spinning. Other tests have been
made since, and today We realize that
simply millions of dollars worth OF
fax straw are allowed to be wasted
in this state every year. The sample
was sent to the International Flax
Fibre Co., whose process enables
nax plants within one hour after be-
ing taken from the field to be thresh
ed, the seed cleaned, and ready for
market, and the plants themselves
transformed into a beautiful white,
silky fibre, equal to any ever pro-
duced in the world. North Dakota be-
fore long will see a number of fax
fibre mills in operation. We cannot
afford to longer destroy this precious
product.
The prospects are that a good deal
of flax will be grown next season.
Practically all of the new land that
is broken will be seeded to this pro-
duct, and some that was broken last
year. The fact that fax Is worth at
present $2O4 a bushel, makes this
a very tempting crop. If the farm
ers can only sell the flax straw for
what it is worth for flax fibre pur-
poses, they can double their income
and then some.
from one ton Of fax straw, 1t IS
estimated that seven bushels can be
threshed, which at say 81. bushel
gives the farmer $14. One ton OF
flax strT1w will produce approximately
4Ov pounds of fibre, which ought to
be worth from Z to 20 cents a pound,
but say Z cents, or $3.50. One ton OF
fax therefore should prpduce >42
worth of products. Let US soon be-
gin the manufacture Of flax hbre.

School Boys I

lads attending the Harrison school.
Just beyond the limits 5of our city,

long as they live. They ate their din
ners at the school and to while away
the time during the noon hour, with
the aid of a ladder, climbed up into
the belfry, about thirty feet above
the main floor. While gazing at MI
not's sky-scrapers in the distance,
and contemplating the story OF the
midnight ride of Paul Revere, mag
lining that they were couple OF
Pauls, themselves, who had cllmoeo
into the belfry, someone took their
ladder away, and thereby hangs
tale. The wind was blowing a merry
gale and al thermometer Swodld have
registered 20 below or. better had
the school board taken the precau-
ton to have placed one there. They
became fearfully cod and tried to
attract some attention, but for some
reason or other, assistance was not
forthcoming. They found some lime
in the belfry and dropped 1t to the
floor below, hoping to gain assistance
in that manner. 1t seemed ages be-
fore school would let out, but still
they roasted in their perilous posi-
tions. Growing desperate, young
Reed, sawed the flag rope on with
the edge of brick, and securing
one end Of it fast, they let themselves
down. The boys have an idea that
their teacher, Miss Duggan, knows
how the ladder became shifted from
its position and swear that if they
ever undertake any more explorations
they will pull the ladder up after
them.

STILL LOYAL TO b|EBER
POSTMASTER GENERAL HASN'T
CHANGED HIS MIND.
Friends of District Man Still Be.
lieve He Will Get the
Collectorship.

Speaking with reference to Sidney
Bieber. who was nominated by Presi-
dent Taft for the position Of collector
OF the port Of Georgetown and failed
OF confirmation by the Senate, after q
favorable report from the committee on
commerce, to which the nomination was
referred, Postmaster General Hitchcock
said:
Il accept the full responsibility foI
suggesting Mr.. Bieber's name for the
position. / believe he will make an ex-
cellent officer | have been especially
attracted to him since the numerous in
vestisatiOns Instituted at various times
have shown him innocent of the charges
that were made to defeat his nomina-
ton. l felt he was good man for the
place when / suggested his name to the
President, and | was grieved and dis
appointed when the Senate failed to
confirm him.
Nothing has occurred since he was
nominated to change my opinion of Mr..
Bieber He has my full confidence and
support. now them
This attitude of the Postmaster General
was especially pleasing to Mr.. Bieber's
friends, who declare that he is still in the
race, and they believe the President will
give him a recess appointment when all
the facts of the case are brought to his
attention. They do not credit the report
that President Taft is considering a col
ored man for the place. They argue that
nothing whatever has transpired since
the favorable report OF the committee on
commerce 10 the Senate to cause the
President to eliminate Mr.. Biebers name
from consideration.

PROTECT AGAINST FIRE
THEATERS REQUIRED TO HAVE
WATER CURTAINS"
New and Plain Regulation Issued
by the District Plumbing
Department.

More complete fire protection to thea
tors. and especially the five and ten cent
kind, is afforded by a new regulation
framed by Plumbing Inspector McGone-
gal. who has arranged so that every hall
or theater with movable scenery shall
have a water curtain In case of a
fire on the stage. by this water curtain
device a complete cataract of water,
thrown downward with great force, would
stretch across the entire proscenum and
prevent the fire from getting into the
rest of the theater by that route.
This is one of the principal features of
new set of regulations affecting thea
tiers. moving picture shows and halls
where dramatic entertainments are given
In addition. the theaters will be re-
quired TO keep the regular fire fighting
equipment. sufficient fire department hose
and playpipes reach any part of the
house. and the regular common sense
protection against flames
The regulation which has just been pub
lished makes IL clear once and for al
time just what the requirements are
Hitherto it has happened that there has
been a dispute between the building in
spectors, the plumbing inspectors, the
fire marshal and the theater as to JUS
what the regulations provided for in va
riOt.S instances

NOTIFIED TO PAY TAX.
Delinquents Under Corporation Law
Liable to Penalty.

All delinauents in the payment of the
corporation tax have been notified by
collectors of customs in all directions
of their delinquency and notified that
if they do not pay the tax by the close
of business July 8. next Saturday. they
will be subject to penalty of ) per
cent and interest upoI the deferred
payments. Commissioner Cabell does
not believe that many corporations will
delay longer than Saturday in making
payments. Should they do SO the cor
poration tax law gives the government
the right to make seizures by July 20
Practically every corporation has
paid the tax under protest. awaiting
the decision of the Supreme Court as to
the constitutionality of the law. 1t is
not considered probable that any of
them will permit matters to go to the
