MANY ARRESTS
PIGGING CHARGE
STATES ATTORNEY MAKES SEW.
ERAL ARRESTS AT GENEsEo
MORE WILL FOLLOW.

Forman, N. d.. July 14.-Geneseo
at the eastern boundary of the coun-
ty, has for some time had a decidedly
obnoxious reputation on account OF
the alleged blindpigging activities and
the united efforts OF the sheriff and
states attorney were focused upon
that point with the intention OF Kidding
the county of the evil. Last week the
states attorney made a trip to that
place and by subpoenaing a number Of
witnesses to appear before him to
give testimony in the matter he was
able to collect enough evidence to
warrant the arrest of three OF the
malfactors and accordingly swore out
warrants for their arrest
Tuesday, Sheriff Jackman and At
torney Leslie journeyed by auto route
to the seat of the trouble and hauled
the culprits before Justice Doughertv
where sufficient evidence was produced
to bind them over tdgthe district court
and they were released on bonds OF
$500 each to appear at the fan term
The officials are determined to make
a clean sweep Of the detestable nest
OF law violators and with this end
In view In their possession and more
arrests will follow.
This seems to be about the only
spot in the county where the LIQUOR
traffic has been held up with any de-
gree Of consistency and the cleaning
up of the place at this time bids fair
to give the county a clean. bin Of
health on the liquor problem for a time
at least.

SILO BUILDING
BROUGHT ABOUT
NUMBER OF FARMERS IN NORTH,
WESTERN PART OF STATE
PROPOSE WORK.

Grafton, N. D., July 14.-F. w. Mer,
rill Of the dairy division of the feder-
al agricultural department has been
working in this section for the past
three weeks interesting farmers anxi,
Gus to improve their methods and GO
into dairying more extensively. A
number of farmers have already start
ed testing their herds to find out which
of the cows owned by them are good
producers, and which are "star board
ers."
Through Mr.. Merrill's efforts num-
Der Of silos will be built during the
summer months. G. w. Andrews OF
WalhalIa will build one and oJhnson
land near Walhalla; w. r. Winters of
Langdon will build another. In this
Starry of Conway another. In this
immediate neighborhood Hans Lykken
and Charles A. Boon of Pennington
township will each build a silo
This activity among the farmers for
better methods in dairying Is most
gratifying to Mr.. Merrill and win un-
doubtedly result in increasing the in
terest of all farmers regarding dairy
ing.

DAKOTA Land
SHOULD Sell AT
SlOO Per ACRE

Devils Lake, N. D., July 14.-Sena-
tor and Mrs. Henry Hale returned this
week from a visit east, during which
time they visited a number of the
principal cities. Speaking of the trip
Senator Hale says:
I'm a recent trip east, we made a
business of stopping over each night
SO as to travel during the day and
while little can be gained from such
hurried observation, still an impress
sion is made. We Travelled through
parts OF Minnesota, Wisconsin. IL
linois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey. 1t was evident to our minds
that the most thrifty looking farms
were those where diversified farming
was carried on.
THE finest dwelling, farm buildings
and the best crops were those where
the fields were small and the crops
varied, sllos and creameries being
much In evidence.
ITO us of the big fields, the small
patches OF grain mostly winter wheat
and oats, being harvested by a two
horse binder and in some instances by
the old self rake harvester, was anus
ing, but the closeness Of the shocks
showed an excellent yield from what
looked to be a poverty stricken soil,
but evidently brought about by a rota-
ton OF clover grasses, corn and grain.
but what impressed us most was
the immense amount of land lying idle |
even in the vicinity OF the great cities |
whose markets have to be provided for |
daily.
But what to us was the saddest sight |
on our trip was the millions of people |
living as cliff jewellers in the cities. To |
ride through the streets in the evening |
and see the thousands of people try
ing TO get a breath of fresh air on their
door steps and the millions of child "a
trying to play in the streets was to
us sad sight Parks and play grounds
are being established wherever los
sible and are used TO the utmost
but they take care of but very small
part of the population.
There is a conclusion we came to
and that was that there is no sell like
that of Dakota, that we are not asking
anywhere near what Il IS worth for
It. When we speak of $35 per acre
everyone says it cannot be much ac-
count, when as compared with the east I
Il Is easily worth 800.
SIN the east the farmer don't count,
Il is the factory that is given all con-
sideration."

N. D. AEROPLANE

MCCOY FLEW MACHINE AT
FORKS FAIR GROUNDS WE'D
NEsDAY EVENING.

Grand Forks, N. D.. July 14.-The
kenworthy- Mccoy aeroplane. with
Ihos. Mccoy driving. has demonstrate
ca that it lis capable OF making
Nights. Five successful flights with
out an accident marked the trial of
the big machine "Wednesday evening
at the state fair grounds. The trial
was witnessed by a large number of
spsctators, VINO were very enthusiastic
over the excellent showing made.
Inc machine was taken out about 2
O'Clock and at first Mccoy ran it
along on the surface to see that
everything was in working order.
Ihen he worked the elevator and the
aeroplane rose gradually and skim
med through the air at a height OF
fifteen or twenty feet. The machine
was raised and lowered, brought to
the surface and raised again in a
manner that showed that il was under
perfect control. No spectacular work
was attempted nor will it be attemnt-
ed for few days, during which
Aviator Mccoy will assure himself
OF his control of the areoplane and
OF its perfect adjustment The suc-
secc OF the trial would indicate that
1t win not be long until the machine
and its local aviator are making rec
ord flights.
AFTER seeing the success of the
trial, F. G. Kenworthy, who has been
backing the venture. wired several
places which have been negotiating
Tor the appearance of the machine
and 1t Is probable that McGoey win
make flights in many cities of the
state during the summer. The ma
chine will also be seen at the state
'air here and will doubtless prove a
big attraction.

INDIAN VILLAGES
STATE CURATOR FISH coNFERs
WITH COMMISSIONERS AT
STANTON.

stanton, N. d., July 1a.-H. C.NFish.
curator Of the State Historical society.
has been working in the interests
of tn society during the past week
near the town Of Stanton.
Stanton is at the present time re-
garded by authorities as one of the
most important spots In the state for
data concerning the very early history
or the state, especially the history Of
the Indian tribes. There are three
tribes that made their homes almost
on the spot where Stanton now is To-
Gated.
The Amahami village, often called
the Ahnahaways, was originally, in
1904, located near the mouth of the
Knife river and consisted of about fifty
warriors. In 1S3S-34 the village was
said to have grown to eighteen houses,
but after the smallpox plague of 1887
the entire tribe merged with eros
Ventre the kinfolk.
Another village was situated about
a mile north Of town and was the home
OF the renowned Sakakawea, whose ex-
ploits are COMMUNICATED in the statue
at the capital. Some of the best ex-
amples of earth lodge circles in exist
ence are shown in those at various
points along the Knife river near there.
This village will, in time, become cele-
hrated as the Dakota home Of the Bird
woman, who guided Lewis and Clark
to the western country.
The largest and mother village Of
the eros Ventre tribe was stationed
just over the Knife river on the pres
emit site Of the Old's farm, and the ter
ritory surrounding is very rich in his
toric data.
Mr.. Fish went to Stanton to see the
county commissioners there in regard
TO the preservation of the relics and
landmarks, and at the request of the
citizens Of that town gave very inter-
esting talk on the history Of the Gros
ventre and Mandan tribes at the court |
house hall Thursday evening. The citi- |
sens of the town are progressive, and |
the value Of the surrounding |
country historically, they are doing all |
n their power to help Mr.. Fish in his |
work of preservation.
AS soon as the new railroad is
through, Stanton will be town that |
will make itself heard commercially.

IMPROVEMENT IN CROPS


jamestown, N. d., July 14.--In a
ride southwest of the city of from
eight to ten miles, a great i'm
provement is noticed in the condi-
ton OF the growing crops since
Sunday last. Many burned spots of
grain are turning into the natural
green color again, and the heads
growing well. Al great many fields
have improved so much that the
average crop can be expected and
all grain has been immensely ben
efitted by the rain Of Saturday
night. The wheat heads are long
and promise to be we'll filed.
Corn never looked better and the
largest acreage Of that crop ever
put In adds variety TO the aspect
OF the country. Millet, oats and
max also promise to give fair yield.
where last week but little was ex-
pected of good many fields OF
such crops.

Larimore, N. D., July 14.-Another
case of disappearance is reported from
the northwestern part of the county
this time it is ole Thompson, living
with his parents near Numedahl, aged
20 years. He left about three weeks
ago on bicycle and last heard of
was across the line and it is presumed
that he Is taking trip through the
Canadian northwest, which belief is
arrived at from the fact that he had
been studying maps Of the country be-
fore leaving and also from the fact
that he took with him about $40 in
cash. He made no mention to his
parents or anybody of any intention of
going away and his parents are quite

rates in Kentucky, thing not in the

Honor Greely's Memory.

asked to observe February 80 and
Greeley day and to have exercises
which will call the attention of the
children to the great newspaper man.
Prof Ellsworth Regenstein has pre-
pared program for that day and sug
gests to the teachers in the schools
that it be followed if they care to do
so. The first thing on the tentative
program is the singing of America. F"
This is to be followed by the reading
of George ID. Prentice's poem to
Horace Greeley. Then there would be
the telling of the story of the life of
Greeley. Ito we'd by the closing lsong,
"Auld Lang Syne," which was the
favorite song of Greeley.
