SHE the Famous Linotype.
G.. D. Shat, Minot real estate
man, has just sent papers to Wash
ington D. c., for the issuance OF a
patent on a typesetting machine, in
universal use. Mr.. Shaft has been
working on his invnetion for a long
time, and states that he is certain
it will be winner. Those who have
seen the drawings, express confidence
in the ultimate success of the invent
or. The linotype has some 5000 parts
while Mr.. Shafts machine will have
but 800. The linotype costs from
$4,000 to $4,000, while Mr.. Shaft de-
clares the machine he has invented
can be manufactured for $500 and
still allow a nice margin for divi-
dends.
Mr.. Shaft is of an inventive turn
Of mind and has other inventions
to hts credit. 1t Is generally hoped
that the machine will do all that he
says 1t will, and If 30, the Independ-
ent will promise to become one Of
the first investors.

N. DAKOTA PAYS % PER CENT AT
500 PER ACRE

A4Hsuon uour ur,ar-DemOcrat: NJ. &.
Olson OF Hannah is one of the lore
most farmers of Cavalier county. In
addition to a snug farm north Of
town he has a large farm west OF
Sarles about two miles. This sea-
son he has grown 10000 bushels of
grain all told. At current prices
this is worth $29,93O. Only for his
oats the grain would average 81 q
bushel. He had $500 bushels Of
flax. One Car load OF this precious
stuff netted him $2,462. 80. One half
section, one-quarter of which was
sown to wheat and the other to fax
yielded $7,615. This was grown Oh
land which cost him $4,000. This
one crop pays for the land, labor and
all in one crop. If it were valued
at 500 it has paid over 23 per cent
on the investment.
Mr.. Olson did all the work on the
farm, plowing, seeding, harvesting
and threshing with gasoline tractors.
He usually plows deeper than the av-
erage farmer and results this year,
almost on the edge of the dry belt,
proves the correctness of his plan.
His case is but one Of thousands
where energy and intelligence ap-
piled to North Dakota soil give back
splendid returns.

introduction Parties Given by Quar-
tet Of Low Down Fellows for tho
Ruination Of the Lives Of Innocent
Maideno.

The facts have just leaked out, that
some time ago band of disreputable
fellows who made Minot their head
quarters, kept rooms within the
heart of the city, for the express
purpose Of running the lives Of young
girls. The authorities became wise,
and just the afternoon before raid
was to have been made, the quartet
packed their suit cases, and left via
the Great Northern. They are Stiu
enjoying their vacation.
The story reads like a Stanford
White tale, and If all the facts were
known, it would be fully as salacious
Introduction parties were given each
Sunday night and these lasted for
weeks. Young girls we're invited to
these parties and they were wined
and dined. One new girl was invited
in each Sunday evening and 1t became
her duty to invite some young friend
for the next week. It is lucky for
the debauchers that they left Just
when they did and If they ever return
to Mtnot, woe be unto them.
II has been learned since that the
ages OF tho girls who visited these
rooms ranged from twelve 70 sixteen
years and most Of them belong 70
very respectable families.

another engine Fowler said that the
machine could reach here by express

immediate cause of the accident was
the refusal of the vertical rudder to

the conditions in the air above the

NORTHERN PACIFIC WILL

HAS BOUGHT 1000 FEET OF FLOOR
SPACE At TWIN CITY
SHOW
Railways Will Assist in Exploitation
Of Enormous Resources Of North
Dakota.

Besides the official exhibit of the
products of this state which is to be
made under the direction of the gov
ernor at the Twin City Land Show,
the efforts of the state officials Will
be supplemented by big exhibits to be
made of our products by te railroad
companies.
1-.s Northern Pacific has just
bought 1000 square feet of floor space
at the Twin City show, which is to be
given from December 18th to 23rd,
under the auspices of the Northwest
ern Development League. This means
the railroad company will make a good
showing for every state along itsslines
Being one of the first railroad COM
panies to buy space, the Northern
Pacific has selected a space sixty feet
long between the main entrances,
about the best there is in the show.
Representatives of the railroad are
now at work collecting materials for
the exhibit. While a special part
of it will be shown for the first time
at the big show in St. Paul, the North
ern Pacific viii also show in New York
City, in Omaha and at several other
towns during the fall and winter.
From all these displays our state will
reap a benefit. 49,
Speaking of the advantage of max.
ing these exhibits, J. NJ. Hannaford,
vice president of the Northern Pacific.
says: 1--WE have in the past received
good returns from money spent in
making exhibits at land shows and we
expect to realize our moneys worth
many times over from the st. Paul
exhibition"
1t follows that if the railroads get
such good results from land show ex.
hibits, the states which they repre-
sent must get a large share of the
benefit.
