try and will leave this evening for his
home at Humboldt House.
"Sotty" did not take his rattle
snake on this trip, saying that some

fangs and put it out to catch rats. A
day or two before leaving home he had
weighed the rattler and found that it
was picking up flesh, weighing three
pounds, four ounces.
Upon his return to Humboldt House
Scott will close a pending deal for a

LIGHTN1NG's EXPLOITS

Fessenden, N. D., Sept. 14.-Will-
lam Shaver and his thirteen-year-old
son were the victims of bolt of
lightning which struck them down
and burned them badly. They had
just driven to the threshing outfit
on G.. G.. McCrory's farm when the
storm started and hitching their team
they took shelter under the separator.
They had not been there more than
two minutes when lightning struck.
knocking them down. The shock
was so great that it was several min
utes before Mr.. Shaver could move
and the boy was unconscious for some
time. Mr.. Shaver says he managed
to pull himself and son into a little
pool of water and this seemed to re-
|yive them.
The lightning struck the pig pen of
j. J. 1varie. who lives south of Chas.
Delabarre's place, and killed ten out
'of the thirteen hogs that were in it.
There was considerable wire fencing
whereabouts and this is believed to
have figured in the matter. This was
last Sunday.

MINNESOTA ELECTIONS
ARE THAT TAWNEY
IS DEFEATED FOR NoNi1NA.
TFON TO CONGRESS

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. Fl. Great
interest has been centered in Mime
sofa today in. connection with the
nomination of the primary election,
and especially in. the candidacy of
Cong. Tawney for reelection. He has
made strong fight against many
opponents and against the direct op-
position of national characters, who
came in to the state to defeat him,
Pinchot, Haney and even Roosevelt
taking falls out of Tawney on his
record in congress. The primaries
were held Tuesday for nomination
to congress, the legislature and coun-
ty offices. 4.
Interest centers in the first dis
trict, and scattering returns indicate
the defeat of Congressman J. A. Taw-
ney by: Sidney. A. Anderson, a young
attorney of Lanesboro. This will
probably be the only change in the
delegation to congress, although there
is d pOSSlU!lACy VI CAC uCIC0t " = ~.
Stevens in the fourth district by Hugh
T. Halbert.
The polls were open until nine
o'clock and returns at midnight are
far from complete. The fight on Taw-
ney has been the warmest in the
state. Anderson was brought out by
the progressive league, and few
thought he had any show. But he
made better campaign than at first
thought and unless later returns are
different he will win by small mar
gin. The winner will be opposed by
H. L. Buck of Winona, who had a
clear field for the democratic nomi-
nation.
F. M. Nye of Minneapolis had a
hard fight from A. H. Hall, but there
was reaction during the last cou-
pie of days, which results in Nye's
denomination. .Einar Hoidaley who
,wtn1 the. democratic fight, will give
him good race for election.

TO OFFER LANDS
At AUCTION
Meeting Held in Courtenay to Start
New Plan to Sell Lands

Courtenay Gazette. A meeting
was held in Larson's hall last Mon
day evening to discuss a plan for
holding public auction sale Of farm
lands some time during October. An
agreement was finally reached to list
all lands which parties interested
had for sale, engage an auctioneer
and at time to be announced later
endeavor to sell the land by public
auction. 1t is expected that over a
hundred eastern farmers can be in
duced to participate at the sale and
no doubt many of them will take the
opportunity to purchase land and be-
come permanent residents Of this ter
ritory. The merchants and many
prominent citizens of the town have
agreed to help the enterprise by as
sisting in various ways such as fur
nishing conveyances to take land buy
ers to look over the land, furnish
board and lodging at reasonable
rates, institute some form of amuse-
ment to hold the crowd together and
otherwise assist in making the under
taking success. And. last but not
least, to boost and keep on boosting,
suppress and discourage knockers
and tell people of the many advan-
tages in farming in this vicinity, not
by exaggerating facts but simply
stating actual conditions as they ex-
ist in average years. The plan had
the hearty accord universally and all
present were unanimous in pledging
their support and expressing them
selves as favorably impressed with
the feasibility of the project.
The whole plan has been originat-
ed with the Wells & Dickey Co. of
Jamestown and their local represen-
tative and it is due to their efforts
that such an undertaking was COM
menced. They agree to stand the
expense under provision of certain
rules.
The plan is2a good one and it will
tend to bring an increased amount of
capital in this locality and it should
have the hearty cooperation and sup
port of everyone interested in the well
fare of this community.

jamestown Is sending out its lfst~sof
losses and notices of assessment for
the season of 1910. The assess
ment, as stated before, for this year
was made at 6 per cent by this mu-
tual company. This was quite bad
hail season, the total losses being
heavy, in addition to the fact that
the crop was light in many sections.
and the association is congratulating
itself that 1t can get through the
year with but. the 6 per cent assess
ment. !,
The business for the year was large
tho not so great as In 1909. the big
gest of the associations history: Up
to June goth, 1910, the business was
even ahead Of last year, but the se-

checked the business after that date.
During the season the Alliance Hail
Association issued 4,192 policies, and
insured about $40, 900 acres for So

record considering the season. The

DUTCH COLONY FOR N. OAK.
Company Organizes With Large Cap
ital to Cultivate Land. Profit
Sharing Enterprise

The Weekly Financial Review Of
New York city refers to a Dutch coll
ony in North Dakota and under date
Of September 10, says:
zone of our correspondents in Hol-
land sends us the following, showing
one method of exploiting the western
country. Should this become gener-
al, the results must be widely bene-
fetal.
't.In The beginning of this year a
Dutch combination bought about 49,
900 acres, of arabic land in Stark
and Billings districts of North Dako-
ia, paying about 20 shillings per
acre, together with over 800 resi-
dence and business lots at Belfield,
situated in the center of that county,
and further the majority Of the stock
of one of the local banks.
'The land consisting of clay ground
of the best quality is situated along
the line Of the Northern Pacific rail-
road.
.'The syndicate sold all its possess
sions to company named The Hol-
land Dakota Agricultural company,
limited for the same price that it
paid for the land, receiving in addi-
tion profit shares, which would parti-
cipate in the profits when the ordin-
ary shares had received per cent.
This company which has capital of
$6,OO0,O0O, purposes to assist skill
full Dutch cultivators possessed Of
diligence and energy to come to Da-
kota and cultivate the grounds, at
first, for the benefit of the company,
but giving them an opportunity later
on to buy the land themselves.
where the social purpose is clear
enough, it is unnecessary to say that
it is expected that profits in the fu-
ture will be Of great Importance.
"There is In Holland too little
land for the population, and even for
an. able farmer It is rather difficult
for him to assure himself good pos
ition. For his sons it will be nearly
Impossible. They would be compell-
ed to take inferior positions, or else,
with small sums of money to buy or
rent farms, or to content themselves
with part of their fathers busi-
ness.
In the beginning Of June some for
ty farmers left Holland to take part
in this operation. They went free
Of any contract, their action being
entirely voluntary. It is expected
that they will have a prosperous fu-
ture and after few years will invite
their friends and families to come out
also. :"

WILL OPEN COMMITTEE
HEADQUARTERS
Advice to Stand by the Nominees OF
the Primary Election From High
Source

Hearquarters of the republican
state committee will be opened Mon
day at Bismarck. Chairman Frank
Talcott and Secretary J. L. Devine
will spend the greater part of their
time at the headquarters. Capt.
Frank Henry of Valley City has been
appointed assistant secretary; Grant
Hager Of Grafton will have charge
of the press matter and Otto Strom-
will be secretary to the executive
committee. The men in charge of
the republican campaign are conf
dent that the entire ticket will be
elected and will do the utmost to ce-
ment the friendly feeling that exists
among the various factions of the
state.
At preliminary meeting Of the
committee at Grand Forks one of the
matters brought prominently up in
the discussion was that Of supporting
the choice Of the party as shown in
the primary election. Ex-Governor
j. M. Devine, in a short address to
the members 81 the committee quot
ed briefly from a letter that he had
received from United States Senator
Cummins Of Iowa, one Of the leading
progressive republicans Of the Unit
ed States. Stay by the results Of
the, primaries" is the advice of
Senator Cummins;; mo matter what
faction may chance to be victorious"
That is the sentiment that Mr.. De-
vine said should prevail in North
Dakota at the present time and he
was quite certain that this opinion
was the one held by republicans gem
|erally. IN view Of that condition, he
said that he felt quite confident that
the republican party was in better
shape this year in North Dakota than
|it has been for some time.

At the inlet where dozens of large
sail boats, holding twenty-five to thir-
ty passengers, ready to take parties
out for trip up and down the coast,
at fifty cents an hour, for fishing or
otherwise.
Then we reversed our journey and
returned south on Atlantic avenue,
through Chelsea, Ventnor and South
Atlantic-beautiful suburbs, to Long
port, where we boarded the little
steamer and sailed down the coast
and across Great Egg Harbor Bay to
Ocean City, another pretty, quiet
summer resort. We returned across
the marshes, via the big electric cars
of the suburban line.
Captain John L. Young's new mill
lion dollar pier is the largest amuse-
ment resort, and for fifteen cents you
can see it all. Fully ten thousand
people visited there the evening we
went. First there was a children's
carnival in progress with thousands
of spectators seated on the elevated
benches surrounding the big audi
torium. After the little folks had
finished their exhibition the floor was
cleared for adult dancing, and hum
dreds of couples soon filled the hall
and could enjoy themselves until
closing time, II p. m.
Next we came to big tank and
saw the sea lions performing and be-
yond this, is large vaudeville thea
tire, where four thousands were
watching the acrobats. Still further
out, with the Atlantic rolling and
tumbling beneath it all.
After this, our first visit, We knew
how to go, and another time would
stop at either cottage end of town,
where it is more quiet and rural and
would visit the board walk and it's
many attractions, when we needed
excitement.
Atlantic City has a permanent pop.
ulation of nearly fifty thousand per-
sons, but on crowded summer days
it some times reaches three hundred
thousand.
The city is on an island, separated
from the main land by salt meadows
and 4inlets. The avenues running
parallel with the beach are named
after the oceans, Atlantic, Pacific,
etc. These are crossed at right an
giles by streets named for states, be-
ginning with Main on the north.
The drinking water comes from ar
tesian wells, twelve hundred feet
deep. The bathing is the best; the
beach shelves off very gradually and
there is seldom any under current.
The United States life saving crew
are always ready in case of an acci-
dent.
The city is considered a noted
health resort, as we'll as summer
and winter resort, and a pleasure re-
sort
Physicians claim that few weeks
spent there will cure, or at least,
greatly benefit all bronchial diseases,
and they frequently advise their con-
valescent patients to go there to
'"build up" from almost any malady.
