FARMERS MUST FIGHT
RUSSIAN THiSTLES

F. S. Woodiwiss, a prosperous
farmer living near Surrey, was i'll Mi
not Saturday. He declares that the
farm land is in fine shape, Tut says
that Russian thistles are getting in
their work. The fields are green With
them. He is narrowing the grain and
hopes to kill off the most of them in
that way. Mr.. Woodiwiss says the
new G. N Fargo-Surrey Air line pro.
duced a fine looking crop of the tn1st-
les along the grade last year. Great
big fat round weeds raised on this
grade are now blowing over the farm
land at the rate Of miles a day, scat
tering the seeds as they go. A farm
er who takes pains to keep his land
free from foul weeds, has little chance
as long as those who grow them are
not compelled to burn them Mr.
WoCdiwiss thinks there ought to be a
law compelling those who raise weeds
to destroy them, and not interfere
with the crops of others. He is con-
templating building woven wire
fence around his farm, which may
help some.
D. M. Shorb of Surrey, also reports
the prevalence Of many Russian
thistles in his field He says that at
a distance the fields appear to be
green with W. eat, but upon closer ex-
animation millions of little Russian
thistles are growing. He Is harrow
ing his grain and will keep it up. 81

"The Isle of Spice" was holding
down the boards at Jacobson's opera
house Saturday night when the big
fire started at the viaduct. When the
flying embers were seen scurrying all
about the building, a number in the
balcony started hastily for the door.
Others jumped from their seats and
likewise started. Manager Bacon
opened the door to the fire escape,
and did what he could to quiet the
people. One of the actors announced
from the stage that the fire was a
small one and told them not to be-
come alarmed. In apite of this, tn.
entire crowd filed out. The perform
ance was concluded in abbreviated

EDITOR HAD NARROW ESCAPE.

We have just learned what a mar
row escape we had several months
ago. During the heat of the cam
paign, something was said editorially
about a we'll known game warden,
who became aware O. it, just as he
arrived at the railway station. He
had ten minutes to wait for his train
and he concluded that he had JUS,
time enough to lick the editor II he'd
hurry. He ran all the way back to
This office, fully determined to either
give or take licking. A kind Provi-
dence had sent US elsewhere and the
game warden ran all the way back
without accomplishing his purpose
The exercise served to cool his tenn
per and thus once more we escaped
our just deserts.

Mr.. Roach to part with one Of his
legs in order to save his life, the
cattlemen heard of it, and lost no
time in making a wooden leg, like the
cattlemen used in the early days when
they were injured by falling from q
horse, or otherwise. Mr.. Roach has
bought hundreds Of thousands Of head
of cattle from those men since the
early days and they always found him
