O. H. Killand, CT Mandan, Treas.
urer Of Morton county, arrived in the
city this afternoon to attend the an
nual meeting of the Telelag.
Mr.. Killand reports conditions in
his part of the state as being the very
best. The crops are doing nicely and
that part of the state is developing
very fast. ..-.
Most of the government land in the
county has been homesteaded but good
railroad land ten or fifteen miles from
Mandan can be bought on easy terms
for $40 an acre.
The farmers are growing wealthy.
Many are running their own automo-
biles. Four Russian farmers in that
vicinity recently invested in autos.
Nandan is enjoying healthy
growth. The city now has a ropula-

There are "a schools in Morton

Buildings Wrecked In Winds
Regular Tornado Dogs Much Damage F'ftoen
Miles South of ot-NcCor'nick Brothers
injured In Storm

A regular hurricane visited the
country fifteen miles south of Minot
last Thursday night, doing consider
able damage. The wind was a
straight one, which probably accounts
for the fact that there were no fatal
tiles.
Two brothers, Pat and Mike NC
Cormick were quite badly injured,
when they were mixed up in the
wrecllage Of a cook car. They were
sitting outside the cook car when the
storm came up suddenly, turning the
car over onto them, bruisirlg them
very badly. They were confined to
their beds the following day but are
recovering. The cook car was blown
on top of a drill, which was smashed.
John Winn, who lives in the south

size. The barn was reduced to kin

Milling Durun1 Wheat

Department of College Extension,
Agricultural College, N. D., w. G..
Palmer, Agri. Editor.
Food bulletin No. 2 takes up the
subject Of milling Durum wheat.
The results sncw that ig costs Sh
cents more for LGWcr grind a bushel
of Durum wheat than Fife or Blue
Stem, while at the present time
there is a difference in price of 26
cents per bushel. It also shows that
the mixing of Is per cent Of Durum
flour with the hard wheat flours i'm
proves the bread. At the present
prices It costs $4.2S to produce a
barrel of Durum wheat -four, showing
that quite a saving can be made by
combining the two kinds of Wheats
and at the same time improve the
quality of the product. The cost for
grinding 100 barrels of Durum wheat
was ST .43; for grinding 100 barrels OF
Fife or Blue Stem wheat was $500.
The bulletin also contains an analysis
Of whistles ,and many articles OF
general interest. 1t can be had by
writing to the Agricultural College
at Fargo.

plants. Healthy wheat at this time

John j. Keavin played trick on
Jim Dwyer, the land agent that will
keep the latter busy a long time,
figuring how he will even up with the
merchant Dwyer was doing some
missionary work last Monday, in the
interests of l.. D. McGahan, candi-
date for city commissioner, and was
pretty, busy rounding up votes.
Keavin seeing McGahan's opponent,
G. d. Shaft, standing on the street,
beckoned Dwyer and informed him
that there was a man who was look
ing for place to vote. Jim not be-
ing personally acquainted with Shalt,
hurried over to the candidate and
asked him if he had voted yet. Shaft
replied that he had not.
/ "Well, who are you going to vote
for" Jim continued, as he handeo
Shaft one of McGahan's cards.
"Well, 1 suppose will vote Tor

Farmers Succeed
by Diversifying,

John D. Geist recent ysold his
quarter of land near Deering for
$4,000, and his neighbor, Geo. Even
sol sold his half section for $4,000,
to Mr.. Kelley from Gldden, Iowa.
Each bought quarter four miles
s-uth Of Mnot, the former from r.
Kirkjorden and the latter from Frank
Eoupe, and will go into dairying,
poultry raising, and gardening ex-
tensively next year. They are milk
ing several cows now,and bring to
M.not each week from SIS to $40
worth of butter, which the people
gladly buy at the best prices. They
take great pains in making the but
ter. The milk is separated, the
cream placed in cool cave and al
lowed to sour Just enough. In hot
weather it is necessary for them to
churn two or, three times week.
They market their products together,
thus saving extra trips to the city.
For feed they grow millet, oats
hay, which produces four good loads
to the acre, and for feed for the COWS
beats anything they ever used. The
hay is cut green and the cows like
it better than timothy. They would
rather feed this kind of hay than
ground feed, for the COWS seem to
show a greater gain in milk from it.

SOFT COAL is DESTROYING
NOTED ENGLISH BUILDINGS
Oxford Factory Chinnnsys Rot Stones
Of University Buildings.

Recent local legislation In England
which forbids factory owners to per-
It black smoke to issue from chin
&ys does not touch the equally sooty
smoke from the soft coal used in mil
lions of old fashioned English CRATES
and kitchen ranges.
1t Is not only in London that the
smoke laden atmosphere rots the stone
work and is a n to historical
buildings like Westminster abbey. Ac-
cordIng to the Local Government Re
view, large quantities of the blacklist
smoke are issued from factory Chin
neys In and about Oxford.
Over the stones of it's colleges there
is a deposit of SCOT. The acids held in
the SCOT blister the surfaces of the
stones. After a time that blister falls,
leaving a rough, crumbllng surface, the
precursor of rapid decay. An infor-
mant officially connected with the uni
versity has said that he has little doubt
that the decay of the stonework of the
older buildings has been greater in the
nineteenth century than in any former
century, and this is due to the increas-
ed use Of coal.
The paper gives also particulars Of
the damage to portions Of Canterbury
cathedral by smoke, especially to the
great Angel tower, on which the ca
thedral authorities have spent a large
sum In repairs. AS regards Exeter
cathedral. a noble edifce 800 years old,
the writer says that SCOT has eaten Its
way into all parts Of the delicate trac-
cry of the western front Of the struc-
ture. Efforts have been made with
more or less success to remedy and to
replace. but the ancient glory has large
ly departed.

GOLD LEAF.
Made Now Practically as 1t Was Made
Nine Centuries AGO.

Made Now Practically as 1t Was Made
Nine Centuries Ago.
In an article on gold leaf in the Mag
azine of Commerce John Mastin says
that just as the date of the discovery
of gold IS too remote even to be guess
ed at so is the origin of gold leaf lost
in antiquity.
On some of the most ancient mum
mics discovered gold leaf has been used
on the skin, tongue, teeth, etc, and
in some instances OF the collins also.
1t also appears on tombs, monuments
and the like, and, strange to say,
though gliding with chin sheets of
hammered gold" and skins of gold
otherwise gold leaf-was known to be
practiced at least in the eighth cen
fury B. c., the process of bringing the
gold into these fine sheets or skins
was, at any rate in the eleventh cen
fury A. D., substantially the same as
that used today, no advance whatever
having been made in the Intervening
nine-centuries.
Further, on some of the Greclan pot
terry of the fifth century the gold leaf
used is as thin as that used today, so
that In results obtained also we have
not advanced In the least, but still keep
practically to the same average thick
ness as that used on the Egyptian cot
fins of the third century A. D. and
most of the Greek of the fifth.
