CURIOUS OLD IRON
FOUND IN THE SWAUk
Indians Have Always Claimed
That Landslide Covered the
Gold Claims There

North Yakima money and interests
in the Swauk district will be greatly
interested in a discovery made there
and more particularly with the story
which accompanies it of a landslide
of comparatively recent date which
covered gold claims. There has been
a great deal of interest here for a
score of years, revived from time to
time, by the gold discoveries in the
Swauk and a great deal of Yakima
money and time, at one time and an
other have gone into the district. The
Record of Ellensburg says:
Curious Old Iron
"A curious fashioned piece Of iron,
appearing much like an old-fashion-
ed gun lock. has been found by John
Robinson on his claim in the Swauk,
80 feet under ground. He is operat-
ing the old Bigney claim and yester-
day gave the piece of iron to w. B.
Price, who states that he will prob
ably send the iron to either the Smith
sonian institute or some institution of
similar nature in an effort to unravel
the mystery. F.f '-4
THE Indians have always stated
that there was landslide in the
Swauk before the days of the white
man and that this covered up the
most valuable gold claims. The for
nation of the ground would indice tie
that this is true, according to the
miners.
Slide of Recent Date
1.-The discovery of this small piece
of iron would indicate that it was af-
ter white men had penetrated the Pa
cific northwest or at least after gun
or some white mans tools or machin-
cry had fallen into the hands of the
Northwest Indians.
1.-THE metal was found on bedrock
90 feet under ground. Sixty-five feet
underground Mr.. Robinson found a
section of an alder tree with bark and
limbs"
The Cougar Mining and Milling
company has esta blished stamp mill
on Williams creek, has AGO. tons of
ore on the dump and 100000 more
blocked out. A lumber mill has been
established on the Swauk and a cyan
ide process plant has been erected
above Discovry there from which great
things are expected. ...I

PEACHES WILL SELL /.
= IN BRITISH MARKET
Consul General at London TslIs
of Shipment Which Was Made ,
From Wenatchee This Year

Peaches from this state have been
landed in Great Britain thirteen days
out from Wenatchee and because OF
their excellence have attracted the
attention of Consul General John L.
Griffiths, who, in the latest consular
report has the following to say. which
should prove to be of great interest
to the people here who are engaged
in the production of peaches and other
fruit. His report to the department
at Washington is as follows:
"A consignment of 1000 cases OF
peaches from the state of Washington
has been received in London. They
were packed in ice cars attached to
the mail train and sent from the We
natchee valley in the state of Wash
ington to New York. and shipped from
that port to England. . ;

American Fruit Record

Z "They were delivered at Convent
Garden within 13 days from the date
Of their dispatch, which, it is said,
constitutes a record in the way of
quick forwarding of American fruit
to Europe. Several hundred cases
were sold Immediately upon arrival
The fruit was large, well colored, and
Of the free-stone variety. 1t was
splendidly packed and arrived in ex-
cellent condition. This is the first
time. it is stated, that American
peaches have been placed on the Lon
don market, although peaches have
been imported for some time past
from Ontario, Canada. Considering
that the best peaches on the English
market are selling retail at As cents
each and that English dollhouse peach
es lack the flavor of American peach
es grown out of doors. it would APP
pear that a real demand should ex-
list in the United Kingdom for the
best varieties of American peaches"

HOW MINNESOTA
HELPS FARMERS
THAT STATE GRANTS BIG SUM TO
CARRY ON INSTITUTE WORK
AND THE WHOLE STATE BEN.
EFlTs AS A RESULT - ALSO
GIVES FOR PRIZE CONTESTS.

ghe following from the press sheet
sent out by the Minnesota Agricultural
| college, shows how that state values
it's farm institutes and is remark
able contrast with the work of Burke
| in cutting out the appropriations for
| this work in North Dakota:
| The legislature, at its recent ses-
sion, showed its hearty appreciation OF
the work being done by the division
| of agricultural extension and the
| farmers institute 1t voted a sub
stantial increase in the appropriation
for both; giving the extension divi-
sion $4,000 annually instead Of $685.
600, and the institute $4,000 instead
of $4,000. In addition, 1t voted $4,000
for prizes in the State Boys and
Girls industrial contest to be con-
Quoted under the auspices of the ex-
tension division.
AS at present organized the extern
sion work and that of the institute
are practically consolidated under a
single management, with "A. ID. Wilson
as superintendent. The liberality of
the legislature will permit an addition
of fully so per cent to the activities
Of the organization during the next
two years. A larger number of farm
ers institutes can be held; wo-day in
stitutes can frequently be given where
one day has been the limit; one week
schools or courses in agriculture can
be multiplied; the force of travelling
instructors enlarged, and more atten-
ton be given to demonstration work.
But for the accomplishment of the
largest good, in any and every COM
munity where it's services may be
sought the extension division must
still depend upon the generous cooper
alton of the business men, and upon
the zeal of the farmers for the ad-
vancement of their calling. All classes
are alike the beneficiaries of the ex-
tension work. BY it, the farmers are
put in the way Of securing better
crops and larger incomes, with the &C
compartment of better living This
means that they will have more money
business with the bank, and can make
larger contributions to enterprises in
volving the general welfare.
1t is to be hoped, then, that business
men will do all in their power to adj
vertise and otherwise promote large
attendance upon institutes and short
courses; and farmers, by a general
turning out" at the meetings, should
afford the workers that most delight
full form of encouragement, the pres
enceof large, appreciative crowds.

WRESTLED BIG BEAR
Interesting Little Stunt Pulled of at
the G. NJ. Station This
Morning.

Two people, a man and woman,
evidently of Abyssinian origin, accom-
panied by full grown black bear,
mixed in quite a rumpus at the Great
Northern depot this morning while the
train crew Of No. 11s were endeavor-
ing to load the animal In the baggage
car for shipment west.
The bear, apparently docile and
lamblike, while being led by its keep
ers, showed an entirely different dis
position after being turned over to the
baggageman.
An empty truck was hauled UP to
the baggage car door to assist az q
step In aiding Bruin to gain apparent
safety In the interior of the car. The
baggageman mounted the truck with
out mishap and by gentle jerks on the
halter rope attached to the bear en-
deavored to assist him In mounting.
The bears endeavor was Of q different
nature, however. and instead OF going
upward and onward he went down

halter rope a pull SUFFICIENT to send

successful here, a. 1t has never yet
failed.

The city engineer Of Fargo, Frank

At the meeting OF the city council
last evening Alderman Frenette stat
ed that he had seen a number of the

anxious to have the work done He
stated that so far he had found but
one objection and that everything
seemed to indicate that the alley paw

The city engineer explained that the
plans for the paving of First avenue
north were practically completed and
that the plans for the alley paving
adjoining this could be incorporated
TN the street paving work.
I'm some or the cities there are mar

taking great part in public life"
Are there many Norwegians In
PARISH" he was asked,
The ambassador shook his head.
Very few he answered. "They all
come to North Dakota. There seems
to be a chance for them which they
would never have in France"
Then the conversation drifted once
more to Paris and the difference in
Partisan and Washington customs. "A

appreciation of what life is there,

stated he liked President Taft very
much and was always courteously re-
ceived at the White House whenever
he called.
I'm fact" he said, that is one of
the noticeable things about Washing
ton. Its cordially is so pronounced.
One is made to feel at home immedi-
ately, which is a great deal in going
to a strange land to live"
On his way back, Ambassador Bryn
will stop at Minneapolis, and at sew
eral points in Wisconsin and for re-
-ception in Chicago. His wife and fam
lily were left at the embassy at Wash
ington as the trip was of such an i'm
promptu nature that they could not
arrange to take it at this time.
The telegram of Secretary Baern-
stein to the ambassador, inviting him
to stop in Fargo as the guest OF the
Sons OF Norway and the commercial
club, did not reach Mr.. Bryn before
he left the national capital, conse-
quently his visit today was quite un-
expected and of an extremely quiet
nature.
