DEVILS LAKE
is DRYING UP
is FEARED BODY OF WATER MAY
DISAPPEAR ENTIRELY IN A
FEW YEARS.

Devils Lake. NJ. D., Ang. so.-The
exceedingly low water OF Devils lake al
present, and the constant lowering OF
the water of Devils lake year after year
lis causing fear that this, the largest
lake in North Dakota, will within a
few years become dry. According to
the report of the bureau of fisheries.
which made a thorough investigation
OF the lake in 1907, the lake is at pres
emit l4S feet from beach mark which
was established In 1883, at the shore of
the lake. and is rapidly falling, having
fallen one-half foot during the time
they were making their observations. a
period Of seven weeks.
Within twenty-five years the lake
has fallen ten feet and has fuctuated
four feet under the changes of the
weather, and is at the present time at
the lowest stage ever known. It was
the opinion Of the bureau of fisheries
that this constant fall was due to a
great extent to the fact that the coun-
try was cultivated, and that such Gull
tivation took up the rapid evaporation
of the lake.
In sounding the lake it was found
that the deepest place In the lake was
twenty-five feet, while large areas of
ne lake averaged but six or eight feet
and other large portions were not
navlgable even with launch.

Williston, N. D., Aug S0.-Paul Bro

North Dakota about year, met death
in a peculiar manner last Saturday near
his home, four miles northwest of
Squires.6 4g
The unfortunate man had driven a
spirited team into Squires Saturday
afternoon and was on his way home
when the accident befell him. Brokow,
ski was an inveterate cigarette smoker
and although no one was with or near
him at the time it is thought he acct
dentally set fire to some hay in the
wagon. The team ran away, threw the
man out and in the fall his neck was
broken. The fire spread to the grass
and grain fields adjacent and burned
over large patch of ground. The body
was almost cremated, all but one foot
being burned to crisp. When the re-
mains were picked up later partially
burned shoe remained ON the remain

The remains were buried near the late
residence on Monday.

CENTRALIZERS
AFTER Low RATES
NORTH DAKOTA DAIRY IN
TERESTS AT ST. PAUL
SOON.

Bismarck, N. d., Aug. s0.-on Sept
II at 10 o'clock in the morning there
will be a case tried before Commits
sioner Prouty in the United States
court room in st. Paul that is of more
than passing interest to North Dakota
dairying interests. 1t Is the case of
r. e. Cobb e. Co. commissioner mer-
chants and others VS.. the Northern
Pacific railway, wherein the Cobb &
CO. are endeavoring to force the rail-
road and express companies to put
into effect a schedule for the trans
portation of milk and cream that now
prevails in Kansas and Nebraska.
Cobb and others interested, operate
large centralizers in st. Paul and are
anxious to get low rates for milk and
cream. They ask for graduation of
charges that will make the rate for
$50 miles and other long hauls about
the same as for 100 miles. thus making
II possible for them to get the cream
from distant points as cheaply as that
tributary to their centralizers.
This would mean the closing Of a
large number Of small creameries in
North Dakota and other states the
same as followed the putting into eff
feet of the rates in Kansas and
Nebraska. The centralizers use the
Babcock test which puts the farmer In
the hands of the city man as far as
the grade and test Of his cream is
concerned and works a hardship on
the small creamery man as well. 1t
is likely that the n. d. railroad COM
mission will be represented at the
meeting by President Stutsman.
1t will be argued by the attorneys
for the Northern Pacific and some
special counsel that the granting of
the rates requested would be discrimi-
natory as 1t is only asked on milk and
cream and not on any other dairy or
produce farm products. 1t is likely
that there will be a large attendance
at the hearing on the seventeenth as
it really means a great deal to the
infant industry Of dairying in the
state of North Dakota.

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 80. - 1t
didn't take Louis Greenberg very long

Sept. IL.
Greenberg's return to the city after
an absence of over six months was
not unexpected, as on Aug. 20 he ad-
dressed a letter to The Evening Times
from some point in Canada. In that
letter he said:

afraid of such woman as that.

officials on the old count. 1t was
found that at the time he had left the
city last January there was an action
pending in the district court for an
annulment of the marriage ceremony
on the ground that the marriage had
never been contaminated. Under an
order issued when this action was
filed, attorneys fees had been allowed.
but no provision was made whereby
the plaintiff, the husband, was bound
to support his wife, who I was form

In June the action in the district
court was dismissed and the abandon

against the defendant. He has fur

soLLEY AND FLAX.

st. Paul Pioneer Press: Prof. FL. L.
Bolley. plant pathologist at the North
Dakota college OF agriculture, is maxi
Ing an effort to save the fax crop to
the northwestern farmers, and in or
der TO succeed he must have the in
telligent support OF the farmers. He
has demonstrated conclusively that
flax does not exhaust the fertility OF
the soil, as has generally been sup
posed that the decrease in yield is
due to disease. If a farmer plants dis
eased fax on virgin soil he gets fair
crop, but the disease spores are in the
ground and add to those in the fax
that may be planted the following
year The result is a scant crop and
the popular notion that the raising of
fax has exhausted the fertility of the
soil. As a matter Of fact, the land is
as ricR as ever, but 1T is infested with
germs that make the raising of flax
Improbable and almost impossible.
There is no reason, as Professor
Bolley has demonstrated, why the
farmer of the northwest should not
raise fax year after year on his land
without material loss in the yield. The
professor and his associates at the
North Dakota college have developed
a variety of fax that is resistant to
fax wilt. the disease responsible for
the diminishing yields. They have taxi
en- steps to see that the farmers are
supplied with that fax for seed so
far as the supply will permit. If they
have the cooperation of the farmer
IL Is but a question of a few years
until the resistant flax should be the
only seed used.
Meantime, the farmers can save
themselves from being deprived OF the
profitable fax growing industry by
taking the advice that the North Da-
kotans offer. They should adopt the
rotation of crops prescribed to elimin-
ate fax disease already in field and
they should SOW only the best of
healthy seed after it has been treated |
with formaldehyde, on fields that are
free from contamination.

AS TO LUxURlEs.

Providence Journal: It is rather
startling to be informed that the ex-
penditure for imported Injuries, not to
mention those OF domestic production,
by the people of the United States dur
ing the last fiscal year was a quarter
of a billion dollars. OF course, what is
luxury and what a necessity is for the
average citizen question of relative
ness. The bill for imported luxuries
accordingly need not be set down with
out reservation as a bill for extrava-
gancies. What the revenue statisti-
clans classify as Injuries includes not
only diamonds and jewelry, wines, or
chids and automobiles, but musical in
struments and toys. Manifestly mu-
steal instrument is scarcely a luxury
to a person who employs it to gain a
livelihood any more than is a plumb
er's wrench. Nevertheless the plumb
: er's wrench, made in Germany or Eng
land and recorded at the custom house
would not be assigned to the luxury
column of the imports.
Then, too, the question whether ar
automobile is luxury or not depends
somewhat on the grade of the machine
and the service to which ii is to be
put. The doctors horse and buggy are
not luxury in any ordinary sense. anc

FUN pending the supplying of broker
part it is perfectly clear that such
part becomes quite necessary. AS TO
toys, many of these certainly ought no
to be in the luxury list unless bough
for the use of grown-ups.

although at times it seems to be
spreading by contract and quite rap
idly. The water supply, milk supply,
dust, fruit, gnats, flies, etc, have all
been suggested as means of spread
ing. Most likely 1t spreads in all
these ways. Yet there are not often
two cases in the same family. In
prairie country like Iowa, it seems es-
pecially to have tendency to become
epidemic and even endemic. The
state board of health undoubtedly
fears the same for North Dakota,
hence these timely measures.
