HOBO WITH DESIRE TO WORK
Chicago Judge Sees $500 Cash, Cash.
ter's Check for $3.50 and Book
Showing $500 Deposit.

Chicago.-Chicago police the other
day rounded up a curiosity-a hobo
with a bank roll and an alleged desire
for work.
Judge Maxwell in the Desplaines
street court saw the roll, but had to
take the bo's word for it that he was
fond of work.
Joseph N. Norman, who declares his
original home was at Piedmont, W.
Va, and says his moniker while he is
travelling is West Virginia SLIM" was
arrested while seated in his side door
Pullman" enjoying a smoke and study
ing the terminal facilities Of the Chi
cago & Northwestern railroad as his
train pulled in from the south.
The first thing discovered on his
person when taken to the Des PLANES
street station was a roll of bills
amounting to $500, a cashiers check
for $3.50 and a passbook showing a
deposit of $500 in a West Virginia
bank. In addition "Slim" was well
supplied with small change.
Great Scott! Is this Rockefeller or
Morgan you've brought in?" asked
Judge Maxwell, as he watched "Slim"
nonchalently hand over his funds.
Quit yer kiddin', jedge," replied
Slim" IT amt no millionaire. I'm
just ordinary DO. But you see there's
one difference; like to work and"
whats that?" gasped the Judge.
Sure. l go to work every winter
and chop wood and save my money

judge approvingly, You're too thrifty.
Be on your way, but don't steal any

GRAND CANYON GOLD LURES
'aen Seek Riches Washed Into Bed Of
Colorado River for Centuries
Dreeges Being Installed.

Denver, Colo.-Endeavor at last
are being made to compel the Grand
canyon Of the Colorado to give up
the gold which has been washed into
us bed for centuries. Several con-
Germs are preparing to conduct opera
tlons on large scale to overcome OBJ
stacles to get these riches.
IT has long been known that there
was much gold in the bed of the Colo
rado canyon. Explorers who have
been In various parts of the great
ABYSS have reported deposits of
gravel and black sand that apparent
~ ran to great depth and that prom
Used values, although we'll distributed
IN the sand and gravel. Attempts have
been made to interest capital in plans
to get out this wealth, but heretofore
tnere mas been no success, because
propositions easier to get at and in
Volv1ng smaller expenditures of money
and risk have attracted most of the
capital available.
IN recent years, however, several
synd1cates have been formed to get
out the gold. One. backed by eastern
capital, has been at work for some
time at Lees ferry. This is a desolate
place, far from any railway, but 1t has
offered the best opportunity for such
work, being at the point where the
river runs out Of the sand hills after
cutting through them for hundreds of
; miles and running for a few miles
about at level before dipping into
the marble canyon. Dredges have
been Installed here after being hauled
FAR over the desert. Black sand i'm.
! pregnated with gold and platinum and
gravel having small nuggets Of gold
IN 1t have been found here, and the
enterprise promises to be highly prof.
liable. This sand and gravel runs to
a depth Of from thirty to sixty feet
before bedrock is touched, and the
dredges can take it out in great guam
titles.
Above this point. in Utah, where the
cliffs are not high, similar operations
have been put under way. Here 1t IL
said that the conditions are simila,
to those found at Lees ferry, excep
that there are evidences of even xich
er values. Parties have gone out int
the wild regions between these two
points to explore for places where tn,
river can be reached. Reports hav'
been received that wherever the pros
poets can be made conditions ar
found favorable. Nature, however
has provided huge battlements to dc
fend these riches, and there Is doub
whether many of the deposits can b
exploited profitably.

(By Prof. w. G.. Palmer of the NORTH

(By Prof w. G. Palmer of the North
Dakota Agricultural College.)
North Dakota bankers and business
men nave raised a third of million
dollars to increase farm production
and to cooperate with farmers thru
farm experts. Modern scientific meth
DDS as applied to agriculture will be
demonstrated on the farm by these
travelling farm. experts. The coun-
try's recognized best farm manage
ment expert to direct the work-sal-
airy $4,000 year.
The occasion for this movement is
the fact that the North Dakota farm
err is growing wheat till the yields
have been much reduced. And
wheat is crop that lays down if the
season is not favorable to it. This
has left all business dependent on the
seasons; favorable for wheat, good
business; unfavorable for wheat, bust
ness slowed up or even at standstill.
Corn and alfalfa are being grown in
all parts of the state with much sue
cess; these are crops that give re-
turns every year regardless of the
season. Not only that but they put
the land in shape so that better crops
of grain can be raised, and so that the
crop of grain becomes more sure in
an adverse season. Dairying and stock
raising have been found profitable in
the state With corn and alfalfa these
can be made very profitable.
This has led the bankers and bust.
men to see the great advantage of
having their business supported by
farming that is independent of the
season. One that is prosperous and
permanent in it's character. To
bring about this change in farming
the leading bankers and business men
of North Dakota have associated
themselves with a few business men
in the Twin Cities, whose business in
terests are in North Dakota, and
formed the One Hundred Dollar ar
Acre association. They have the fol

BANKERS SECURE COUNTY'S BEST
EXPERT TO ASSIST THE FARMERS

Americas best expert in the business
end Of farming. He comes from the
Minnesota experiment station where
he has had charge of the demonstra-
ton farms and statistical work. He
organized his demonstration farms on
a new plan, that of using the whole
farm, taking in all it's activities, car
rying on demonstrations in them,
keeping accounts with all the enter
prises on the farm. Good results were
secured; the owners of the farms
were very much pleased at the in
creased. returns. Mr.. Cooper has also
written three bulletins dealing with
has appeared before many state and
national meetings. He is North
Dakotan too, was raised in Grand
Forks county, is graduate of the
College OF Agriculture, University of
Minnesota. After graduation, he acted
as farm manager till he was called to
the Minnesota experiment station to
take charge of the work in the bust
ness end of farming.
Mr.. Cooper is at present securing
the country looking for his field as
sistants. The men who are quail
fed for this work are scarce; they
must be men who have had good
training in the science of farming
and who have had experience in put
ting their knowledge to work on the
farm under farm conditions.
The plan of the work as far as de-
veloped is to place one of these farm
experts in county; where he will CO.
operate with those who desire to.
With the farmers he will carry on de.
monstrations in tillage, in crop pro-
duction, in rotation of crops, in feed
ing stock, in dairying, in poultry or
, whatever the activity of the farm may
be. Accounts will be kept so that
permanent records will be secured
While the work is under separate
management it will be- carried on in
cooperation with the experiment sta
ton and agricultural college. Advan
tage will be taken of the information
that has already been worked out, ir
fact it will be the basis of the work
This new movement is one that is
destined to bring about a more pros
porous and permanent agriculture
which will carry with it a more pros
porous and permanent basis for al
business
The community that is interested il
securing such an expert would do vel
to put in an early application These
experts are hard to get so the mum
Der at first will not be as large as will
be needed.
1t should be cause of pride tt
North Dakotans to know that this
movement has been started by the

United States Exceeds all Other Coun-
tries in 191O.-Great Britain Sec
ond, But Over 200 Million Tons Be-
hind.

The total coal production of the
world in 1910 was approximately l.
3O0,O0O,O00 short tons, of which the
United States contributed about 80
per cent. This country has far out
stripped all others, and in 1910, &C.
cording to the United States Geologi-
cal Survey it exceeded Great Bri-
tain, which ranks second, by over
200 100000 tons. Great Britain's pro-
duction in 1910 was less than go per
cent of that of the United States, and
Germany's was less than half. The
increase in both of these countries in
1910 over 1909 was comparatively
small whereas the increase in the
United States was nearly equal to
the entire production of France and
was more than the total production
of any foreign country except Great
Britain, Germany, Austria-Hungary
and France.
The United States has held first
place among the coal-producine
countries of the world since 1899
when it surpassed Great Britain. In
the eleven years since 1899 the annu
al output of the United States has
nearly doubled, from 253,741,192 short
tons to sol, 596,37S tons, whereas that
of Great Britain has increased only

SHOOTING IN WOODS.
Habit Growing Instead of Getting
Less Frequent Hereabouts.

Shooting in the woods of the Hill
top section far from decreasing ap-
pears to be growing more and more
frequent. Almost any early morn
ing on week days shots may be heard
in the cliffside woods, while in the
Fort Lee forest the practice goes on
nearly all day every day in the week
The other Sunday morning, near Fort
Lee, there was shooting so close to
the road that a gentleman riding along
Anderson avenue actually had to turn
back for fear of meeting stray bullet
Much of this shooting is done by
young men who come over from New
York for target practice with pistols
and rifles, while considerable firing is
done by pot hunters of the neighbor-
hood who bring down stray squirrel
or rabbit now and then; and they do
not hesitate to kill robins and other
birds. The business of shooting in
these woods should cease instarter.
