 Temple Bay
ELWOOD WAS CAUGHT
rron ,he New work Press.

From the New York Press.
 While the schooner Elwood was on q fishing cruise in northern waters Captair Chester sighted an immense berg appar' entlv fast on a reef known to exist just ofY Hoonia. The master deemed this g lucky encounter and headed for the berg so that he might obtain quantities of ic< to fill the hold and so preserve the nsn he expected to catch.
 When the Elwood was within few yards of the berg the anchor was dropped The vessel swung aroupd until she came alongside the berg. to which she was made fast with lines. The tide was at the full; eansplank vas thrown over to a ledge iethe ice and the men began breaking or chunks of ice and hoistng them aboard All went we'll until evening, when 90 tons of ice had been slowed In the hold. Meanwhile the falling tide hao capsed the berg to settle upon the reel and otip toward the side opposite the vessel. The eangplank rose in the alr and had to be made fast to ledge nearer the water to keep 1t horizontal.
 Captain Chester, suspecting that all was not going to be we'll, ordered the crew to make sail. Before they could man the hdlyAfd0 the iceberg, with 8rfndlne roar rolled of the reef and started te turn over. A jagged spur of ice which had formed the bottom of the berg arose cn the starboard side of the vessel and beneath it. The ice struck the keel, and the vessel, lifted out of the water, rested as in an ice cradle. Chester ordered hil men to get into the boats and out ol harms way Cutting the lines that hele 5 the schooner to the berg, the men pulled to safe distance and waited.
 The anchor held fast, and the schooner tuaeed at the chain. The tide dropped g few more inches, the berg careened stil i. further, and the Elwood rose higher. This proved the schooners salvation. The ten. dency of the iceberg to roll over and raise the vessel brought such an enormous Asfrain upon the anchor chain that some kj,ing had to give way.

The Why of a Suffragette
From the New York Times.

From the New fork Times. eYes. I've fopped.' said the suffra- gstte convert. There was time when I was the suffragists' most bitter op- ponent. I insisted that I had all the privileges I wanted, but when found out that if my husband wishes to pawn every dress have in tho world he has the right to do so without asking my permission, whereas, if pawn his clothes without an order from him 4 am likely to be sent to jail. l changed my mind. To be sure. I have no de- sire to pawn my husbands clothes and II hope he has no desire to pawn mine, |but if the contingency ever does arrive IT want the law amended so that my rights in the matter will be equal to

what will harm the farmers will re-

l have killed perhaps 200 beeves

city since I located on my Ward
county homestead ten years ago, and
the money I receivbd nearly all
went back into the pockets of your
merchants. One of the things that
have alw avs liked about your c:<y
is the fact that the farmers have
always been able to sell at a good
price any product he might raise.
This I believe is one Of the reasons
that Minot has become one of the
principal cities Of the state and il
the authorities could only have the
foresight to refrain from killing this
market, Minot would continue to
grow and the farmers to prosper.

should be done that will have a ten
