WAS RUN DOWN WITH AUTO AND
placed SAFELY BEHIND
THE BARS.

Edmore, N. d., Sept. 2.--Norman
Mikkelson and Harry Strand had a
chance to play principal parts III a
thief nabbing game near Easily Satur.
day evening. Norman had his horse
tied to one of the tie posts in front Of
the hardware store while he was doing
his shopping and when he was ready to
90 home found his horse gone. On in
quiry he found that member of a pot
gang, camping near that place, had un-
tied the horse and started for joy
ride, going south from town and had
been gone about five minutes. Norman
hustled around for the next couple Of
minutes and finally located Chauffeur
Strand, getting him to crank up his
auto and help overtake the thief. They
followed the track about mile and "a
half but lost it near the Peter Plain
home, after tclephoning to the people
on the rural lines they started after
him again, catching up to him about
mile east of G. P. Nelson IS. The horse
thief was persuaded to take ride in
the auto back to Easily while Norman
followed with his driver, hanging onto
the lines with one hand and trying to
keep the prisoner scared by holding
pistol in the other hand. The horse
thief sport was taken to Langdon in
the evening and is now behind the bars
waiting for sentence and is no doubt
hoping it will be a short one.

ed by the Commercial club to handle
the solicitation of the stock for the
new paper mill met this morning and
from all indications the work will now

been raised without any solicitation.

lately. It is expected that they will
have little difficulty in getting the
stock sold as investigation. shows the
plan to be feasible and the majority

EVERYTHING WORKING ALONG
NICELY-LARGE NUMBER OF
COWS PLEDGED.

Edmore, N. D., Sept. 2.-During the
past two weeks Banker Nyhus has been
doing some work in the interests of
creamery for Edmore and things look
SO favorable that we are practically in
sured that Edmore will have a first
class creamery in operation next spring,
and the plan is to have all arrange
ments made this fall and everything
in readiness.
MI. Nyhus has been seeking pledges
from the farmers of this vicinity as to
the number of cows they would patron
ize a creamery with and already has
secured over 200, and he has only be-
gan. It really looks as though the
farmers in this vicinity would pledge
between 300 and 400 cows and this is
really was more than was expected for
starter. We are informed that re-
sponsible parties from Wisconsin, and
men who thoroughly understand the
creamery business are ready and will
ing to build a creamery here on their
own responsibility as soos as assurance
is given that it will be given the prop
er support, and this support is practi-
cally the number of cows it will be pat
ronized with. This support has now
been assured and steps will be taken
soon to have these men come here and
take up the matter of building and
equipping creamery ready to open in
the early spring. This will be fine
thin gfor Edmore and the farmers in
this vicinity, and we hope and trust
that all interested will do what they
can to push the matter along. Any
farmers who have not already pledged
their cows will please hand in their
list to H. J. Nyhus.

Il. II. Stenvick, the game warden and
chief political switchman for his Honor
John Burke, apears to have gotten in
bad while attending a meeting Of the
Game Board. The following from the
Bisbce Gazette explains the situation:
\ story comes from Fish Lake and
from reliable source, that shows up
the state board of control and some Of
its chief officers in an unenviable light.
''It appears that on Sunda.. Aus. ID.
members Of the board Of control, among
them Game Warden Stenvick, ostensi.
bly, visited the state fish hatchery, but
what they really did do there is an
other story.

DRUG CO., DEVILS Lake
INDIAN DEPARTMENT TO EDu
CATE ABORIGINES AGAINST
DISEASE RAvAGES.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Determined
to protect what remains Of the race
of American Indians from rapid ex-
tinction by disease, which now threat
ems them, the Indian office has decided
to pursue vigorous policy in improv
ing hygenic conditions among the
wards of the nation.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Val
entine today said the application of
modern methods to present conditions
of Indian life was vital to their pro-
gress and to the usefulness of the edu-
cational, industrial and other activi-
ties in which the government was en-.
gagged on their behalf.
Among the means which the Indian
Office already has inaugurated in part,
and which it will push with vigor in
its effort to preserve the Indian from
being obliterated by tuberculosis and
other infectious diseases, which are at
lacking them, are moving picture shows
revealing to them proper and sanitary
methods of living, house to house
canvass and the bi-physician IS open
air sleeping camp at the Indian school
and sanatoriums.
The moving picture scheme is to give
them by the comparative method the
wrong way of living, followed by pho
tographs showing the correct way.
The reports show that the death rate
among the Indians is two and a half
times as great as among the white race.

MORE THAN ONE COMPANY IS
CONSIDERING PUTTING MILLS
IN THE STATE.

That North Dakota is soon to be the
scene of activities in the strawboard
manufacturing line seems APPARENT to
alton. One Of the largest railway sys-
TENS Of the country has but lately had
repeated inquiries regarding freight
rates an dfreight facilities for the car
ryin gof strawboard to the eastern mar
ket from North Dakota. These inquir-
les come from different sources and it
is known that more than one company
is now considering putting mills into
this state which is rich in the necessary
raw materials used in making straw
board.
North Dakota produces more than
100000 Of straw suitable for use
in making strawboard, practically all
of which is now wasted, most Of it be-
ing burned. The farmers of the state
would be very glad to sell this straw
to the mill at a comparatively low cost.
This saving to the mill owners means
big profit if he were in North Dakota.
Transportation facilities are most ex-
cellent, water is plentiful everywhere,
and drainage facilities are good. There
is no erason why manufacturing cannot
be carried on as cheaply in North Da-
kota as in any state in the Union,
and the saving in price Of raw materi-
ais will doubtless bring many plants
to this state before many years.
Another feature that is attractive to
the manufacturer is the fact that fax
straw is available in large quantities
at very low prices in North Dakota,
and this material added to the usual
strawboard makes a tougher and clean
er, stronger sheet fexcellent color.
The parties now planning to enter
the state will reap the first benefits
from this broad rich field.

PRICE CATCHES A BIG
MUSCALLONGE AT LAKE.

Hon. William J. Price of the Fargo
Plumbing s. Heating company who
has been sojourning down at Pelican
lake for few days had the good for
tune on Wednesday afternoon to land
fourteen pound muscallonge, and
this is no fish story either.
He was fishing not far from the Fair
Hills hotel, when he felt stroke and
in less than a second he says that his
line was going off into the lake like
stroke of lightning. In fact so heavy
was the pull that the fish pulled the
boat which was anchored on reef.
The fight for life on the part Of the
big longe lasted for nearly half an
hour for Mr.. Price was without land
ing net and he had to tire the fish out
to such an extent that he was almost
as tired as the fish. He succeeded in
pulling it into the boat by pure bodily
strength.
He was congratulated on all sides
for his catch. This makes the second
longe for the same size that was caught
down there this season.

en- immediate medical attendance, hut
there is little chance of recovery.

INDIAN OFFICIAL TO ACCOM-.
PANY L. B. HANNA TO BIG IN
DIAN MEETING.

Hon. F. A. Abbott, first assistant
commissioner Of Indian Affairs at
Washington will come to North Dakota
Sept. 20 where he will join Congress
man Hanna and the two will proceed to
Elbowoods to attend the Indian coun-
ell which will be held there Sept. 21.
Indian Commissioner Abbott and
Congressman Hanna will also attend
the big Indian fair which will be held
at Elbowoods Sept 81, at which tir,e
the Indian council will also be held.
The purpose Of the council, with the
braves and chief of the Berthold In
dams, is in regard to some proposed
congressional legislation in their in
terests and which will be looked after
in congress this coming winter by Con.
gresham Hanna.
It will be a regular old fashioned
council, where the Indians all sit
around in circle, with Mr.. Hanna and
Mr.. Abbott next the chief, and there
will be held the consultation, the. reg
ular old-time pow-wow and the smoking
of the pipe of peace.
81 think it will be very entertaining
both for Mr.. Abbott and myself,' said
Mr.. Hanna. "The pow-wows have not
been part of the programme of my
every day life. I think we will get
along with the Indians. Since have
been in Office I have succeeded in MAX
ing many friends among the residents
Of the Berthold reservation and they
always show me good time whenever
I go there.''
The council will be one Of Importance
as is evidenced by the fact that Mr..
Abbott is making special trip from
Washington just to attend and hear the
proceedings, and Mr.. Hanna expects
that the conference will lie of great
benefit to the Indians of the reservation
as he hopes to be able to accomplish a
great deal for them during the coming
session Of congress.
