Mustard Successfully
Killed With Sprdyer
DEMONSTRATIONS NEAR TOWN
WILL POPULARlZE NEW
SPRAYING COMPOUND.

That the farmers of the North
western states may at comparatively
small expense rid their land OF the
pest of wild mustard and other nox'
ioux weeds, has been demonstrated on
on Barnes county lands within the
past few weeks, and it is probable
that by the time the next growing
season is we'll under way, large part
of the land which is covered with
the mustard will have been treated.
The first demonstration made in
the county was on the land Of Fred
Schultz, about five miles northeast OF
Valley City. The sprayer, which
scatters mixture Of sulphate of iron,
is about thirty feet in length, and dis
which covers thoroughly, both the
weeds and grain. BY using this ma
chine it is possible to cover in the
neighborhood of fifty acres a day.
One application of the mixture is
sufficient to kill the mustard for one
season, although it is necessary to re-
peat the dose for several years until
the pest is eradicated.
In another column will be found
pictures showing the difference in
Mr. Schultz's field where the sprayer
has been used, a clearly defined line
se'ng shown. The photographs were
taken by r. o. Hindsly of this city.

Holland Sepdrat0rS to
Be Made in Iowa
LOCAL CONCERN MAKES DEAL
WITH IOWA CONCERN FOR
MANUFACTURING.

Through a deal closed Saturday, the
Holland Wild Oats Separator, the
manufacture of which was begun in
Valley City several months ago, will
be manufactured in future by the
Kloure Manufacturing Company, o1
Dubuque, Iowa.
The demand for the separators has
already grown to such an extent that
it was found impossible to handle 1t
in Valley City with the limited facil.
tiles here, and John, Albert and An.
ton Holland, the heads of the Valley
City concern thought it best to ar
range for the making of the machines
by some concern which could turn
out the thousands which will be need
ed to supply the demand next year.
The Iowa concern will make from
ten to fifty thousand of the separators
yearly.
Albert Holland, left Sunday for Du-
buque, from where he will go to Min
neapolis, to demonstrate the machine
at the Minnesota state fair. The ma
chine which he will show there will
be greatly improved over the model
shown in this state heretofore. 1t will
be manufactured by the Kloure COM
pany, which has already begun to
turn out the separators, and make
shipments.
While Valley City loses the factory
for making the machines, the city
will be well advertised through them,
nevertheless. Every machine shipped
will bear not only the names Of the
inventors, but the name Of Valley
City as the headquarters Of the COM
pany. S.. .sls

ABLE PARTY WILL VISIT
VALLEY CITY.

Valley City will be visited in Sep.
tember by party of seventy mem
bers of foreign geographical societies,
who are spending two months study
ing the geographical formations OF
various parts of the United States.
This information was given this
morning by Prof. Herbert A. Hard, of
the geographical department of the
Agricultural college, who is spending
the day in the city. Mr.. Hard says
that the visit of the foreign experts to
this country is in the nature of re-
turn visit to members of the Ameri-
can Geographical society, which made
a trip to the principal countries of
Europe last year, under the auspices
of the foreign societies.
The party will be in charge of the
American Geographical society, which
has provided a special train for the
visitors.
The first stop in the state will be
made at Fago, where the Commercial
club has made elaborate preparations
to enable the tourists to inspect the
geographical formation of the eastern
part Of the state. eaving Fargo; the
train will come to Valley City, where
a stop will be made for from one to
two hours to visit points in the Shey-
enne valley.
The next stop will be in the Bad
Lands of the state, where some of
The most interesting and curious for
nations in tn world are to be found.
While nothing has been done yet
by the Valley City Commercitl club
looking to the entertainment of the
tourists, it is expected that some ar
rangement will be made by which
they mag partake Of the hospitality
Of the city for the brief time they are
here.

Wheat and flour
Will Be Cheaper
FORMER LOCAL MAN LOOKS FOR
DROP IN PRICE OF STAFF OF
LIFE FROM BIG CROPS.

H. s.. Helm, of the Russell Miller
company of Minneapolis, and the
Northwest, and formerly of Valley
City, is optimistic over the outlook
for drop in food prices during the
next two years, according to an in.
terview given to the press Of the
Twin Cities last week.
This drop in the price of wheat
stuffs will be followed by similar
drop in the price Of meats, poultry,
eggs, and other dairy products, &C.
cording to Mr.. Helm. In commenting
on the probable outlook, he says in
part:
because of the magnificent pros
poets Of the growing crop wheat
prices have already worked down 20
cents a bushel in a few months. In
consequence, -four prices are rs cents
to 80 cents a barrel lower than few
months ago.
IF farmers have favorable weather
for harvesting and threshing and this
crop is saved in good condition for
early market, wheat and flour prices
would naturally work to lower levels
and it is now practically assured that
wheat and flour will be much cheaper
than tor two years."
But the cheaper four and cheaper
bread will not be large factor in
the decrease in the cost of living.
Bread is the cheapest thing on the
table, and it Is to live stock that the
country must look for cheaper food
that will make a difference. It is
said by millers that mill feed may not
experience a decrease in price even
though wheat is much cheaper. The
price of the by.products of wheat de-
pends on the demand in the dairy
sections of New England. The by
products are used to large extent
there, and at this time no miller was
found who would venture an opinion
whether prices would be up or down.

Man Runs AmuCk With
Razor in Negro Style
THOMAS BREW, OF KANSAS CITY,
TRIES TO "cLEAN oUTv POOL
ROOM WITH WEAPON,

Thomas Brew, a recent arrival from
Kansas City, Mo-, ran amuck with a
razor in the pool hall under the Kin
dred hotel last night, after having
whipped one man with his fists,
caused a panic in the resort and
chased the men he threatened to
'*get," out of the building and down
Fifth avenue. Brew then ran down
tured by Chief of Police Swanson
This morning Brew waived prelim.
mary examination before Justice OF
the Peace Moe, and was bound over
to the district court under $4,000 on
a charge of assault with a deadly
veal on with intent to do bodily harm.
Failing to give bond he was locked
up.
The trouble is said to have started
over game of kelly pool" Brew
"staked" a man he saw playing a
good game of pool, the story goes,
when a third man wanted to get into
the game. The third man proved to
be better player than either Brew
or the man he was backing. Brew
then charged his protege with <throw-
ing'' the game to the third man and
nished by assaulting the successful
contestant. Brew left the place after
the assault, threatening to "get" both
men, and returned few minutes later
with a razor, which he started to
flourish in original negro style.
Not knowing where the cutting
would start and where it would finish
all occupants of the resort scrambled
to places of safety, and others, includ-
ing the two men Brew was after, es-
capped through the door. Brew ran af-
ter them several hundred feet. Seeing
that the police were on his trail Brew
ran down the railroad track, but was
overtaken and placed in Jail. He re-
fused to tell anything about himself.

Enderlin, N. D., Aug. 21.-At spe-
cial session of the Enderlin CONNER
cial club recently, the efforts of the
city officials to put in water works
and sewers was strongly commended,

ter and more sanitary.
The action of a certain few, who
have opposed the greatly needed i'm
provements, was roundly condemned.
They were regarded as antagonizing
the proposed improvements for pure
ly selfish purposes.
The meeting was very enthusiastic
and largely attended. The citizens,
except an inconsiderable minority, are
strmgly in favor of the waterworks

OBITUARY.
MARK WARE

Passed away last Saturday, the 18th
inst, after several weeks illness,
aged "a years. His illness dates from
an accident nearly five years ago,
when he was struck in the breast by
the breaking of a rope while taking
down a large tree. The flying rope
end struck him fairly in the breast,
making an ugly wound that never
healed
Mr.. Ware was one of the most use
full men in the community, covering a
period of many years and he will in
deed be missed. He never soldier
ed on job, or sighted his work;
he always gave a full measure of la
Dor to every person who employed
him. For years he had monopoly
of grading lawns and removing big
trees, and in summer kept large
force of men at work in caring for
and beautifying lawns.
Mr. Ware is survived by his wife
and seven adult children The fun
eral was held from his late residence
on German street, at 1.30 p. m. on
Tuesday. Rev Edward Dillon Of
ficiated. The interment was at Hurff-
vile. There were many beautiful
floral tributes.

sure.

too bad, but we must not be dis

accomplished without discourage

been prepared for this little setback.

The Presidential Primary contest in
this county will be a one-sided affair
unless the Taft followers get a move
on. The T. R. fellows are the
whoopers, while the followers of the
President are more conservative in
their talk. The result of all this is
that every Roosevelt shouter will be
out to the Primary election, while
the apathy of the Presidents S admirers
is liable to cause a large percentage
of Stay-at-homes. We learn that Taft,
in his campaign of the State, will
not come South of Camden, while
Teddy" will do the Southern section
on the oath. Present plans are to
have him speak from the soldiers
monument some time in the after
noon.

Every voter will receive a sample
Primary ballot mailed to him on We'd

to study it, and make up his mind,
and determine who he wants to sup

much kicking over boss made candi-
dates that there is Just little cur
iosity to know how large a. percent
age of people are really interested in
having a chance to express their pref
erence for President; indeed the di-
rect Primary is on trial, and small
vote may result in this being the last
