ing OF eighteen men in charge of A. j.
Giantvalley, stopped over night In
town. The crew Is from the Bonnie
Pierre creek country and is going over
Into Dunn county, Surveyor Giantval-
ley Jays he will pitch camp on Spring
creek at the mouth of Goodman creek
In Dunn county, where he will await
orders from his superior.
1t Is thought that this crew will
work on the Mandan-Stanton extern
sion which will in all probability go up
knife river, Spring crek and Goodman
creek to the Little Missouri river;
thence or west through Mckenzie
county and connect with a line run
ming out of Glendive.
B. E. Coons and his men, who have
completed locating the Northern Pa
office line to near the Buchanan and
Courser farms on Cherry. left We'd
nesday for the western part of the
county. They will camp somewhere
near Alexander and locate the best
pass through the summit which is five
miles southwest of Alexander. AS it
Will be necessary to make a deep cut
or a tunnel to get through the sum-
nit, their work for the present in that
vicinity will be to find the most suit
able place.
The Great Northern crew is still
camped at the Munroe ranch on the
Little Missouri river and are prepar-
ing for a summers work on that
stream.

PIONEER IS DEAD
Well Known Farmer of MIinot District
Died of Heart Failure,

Minot. N. D., March 2S.--Joseph
Wolgamot, Familiarity known as cap"
10y a large number of people about
town, died suddenly of heart failure
at Mrs. Lytte's private hospital on the
north side. Mr.. Wolganot was about
IS years of age and has lived in
northwest North Dakota for the past
twelve years. He served in the Civil
war and was made a captain through
valiant work. He first visited this vi
cinity as a cigar salesman. but after
proving up on q valuable claim near
Flaxton he took up farming. He later
ACQUIRED more farm lands both in this
and other states and upon taking up
his residence in Minot he purchased a
valuable tract in Eastwood park. His
estate is believed to be a large ne.
His only relative known at this time is
a son in Seattle who operates a bus
ard transfer line at that place.
Capt" Wolgamot was one Of the
most interesting characters in Minot.
He was a great student of political
subjects and his views we're decidedly
pronounced. He was an admirer Of
Lincoln and made a deep study of the
martyred presidents life. His mind
was a veritable treasure house for re-
collections relative to the important
events which happened during his
time,

MAY
SAYS CASH PEOPLE

The Inter-Ocean says: Wheat trad
crs continue to see their offers disap-
pear on the breaks and plenty Of
wheat for sale on the bulges. This
has created ar impression in certain
quarters that a distribution is under
way on the part of longs. Cash peo-
pie. however. say that May is con-
gested and that they do not like the
short side. The pit element were re-
garded as moderately long last night.
At the same time a few of the bear
leaders had out good sized lines in
July.
Corn bears have been so badly
whipped that they had little to say
last night. Prices were up a fraction
over four cents from the low point of
March IS. While a few bulls took
profits. others appeared confident Of
their position and although admitting
that there might be a reaction of 1-2
to 1 cent they said the break will be
short lived. People who have called
the turns on the market for several
months remain firm in the belief that
prices are to work higher and are not
advocating taking profits.
The short interest has been we'll cov-
cred n the pit element were long.
But 1t is considered a bull market de-
spite the high price.

RUSSIAN SETTLERS
WANT 10000 ACRES
Big Colonization Scheme of
Capitalists Presented to
North Dakota.

Fargo. N. D.. March 2S.-An i'm.
mense colonization scheme by Russian
capitalist and philanthropists is
planned for North Dakota, If a suita-
BILE location can be found. Local real
ty men have been asked for terms on
land contracts suitable for the enter
prise. Nothing less than a block of
10000 acres in one solid piece will .be
considered. Local dealers say that with
the present development my such a
proposition would be impossible, but
that much land might be secured in
some one county. or in adjoining. coun-
ties. but not in one piece.
In Cass county, one firm owns more
than $4,000 acres, but it is not in one
body. There are several holdings in
the state of 10000 to 10000 acres UNI
der n control. but none of 80 0O
where the conditions of the Russian
colonizers could be met.
The situation will be presented to
the promoters of the idea and an eff
fort made to have the demands modi-
fed. 1t is said a large percentage OF
those who will be sent here to occupy
the lands, If secured, are practical
farmers and will have at their head
some scientific experts who are fam
iliar with conditions in this state.

SHOWS PLAN Of
SCORING MILK
Public Health Department
Man at Bismarck Elk.
plains the System.

Bismarck, N. D., March 2S.-The
state public health laboratories under
the direction Of Gustav F. Ruediger,
M. D., Of the University of North Da-
kota, has u branch at the capitol
which is in charge of Alfred Larson,
A. b., University of Wisconsin,, and as
there have been numerous inquiries as
to the method used in scoring diaries
i'll this city, Mr.. Larson, who is also
milk Inspector, has given the follow
ing explanation of its merits:
The method of scoring used in Bis
marck is a development of the sys-
tenn first used in 1904 by DIR. W..
Woodward. then health officer Of the
District of Columbia. The first at
tempt at rating dairies from the stand
point of cleanliness was improved up
on by Prof. r. A. Pearson (now New
York commissioner Of agriculture) in
1905. During the last two years the
United States bureau Of animal in
dustry has perfected it still further
and with its aid have scored owe 49,.
900 diaries.
The chief virtues of the system lies
IN its simplicity and in its fairness to
both producer and consumer. 1t is
SO simple that n one after a little
study can use it. It is fair in that it
gives credit to the man who Is try
ing to keep his place in a clearly ON
ditton. Emphasis is rightly placed up
any n by inspecting the number of
points given to methods used can
judge whether a dairyman is doing as
we'll as he can with his equipment.
In itself the score card is an edu-
cation. as naturally there will be a
discussion of the values assigned to
each item. 1t will be found hat each
one has a bearing upon cleanliness and
public health. For example Professor
OF such a simple device as the covered
milk pail, by showing that by it's use
and not taking any other precautions
he could eliminate enough dirt and
dust from the milk that 1t contained
only 6,40O bacteria per cubic cent?
meter. while milk obtained in an open
milk pail allowed enough contamina-
ton to get in to raise the bacterial
count to $4,000 per cubic centimeter.
When following out all the suggestions
as to cleanliness on milking he could
obtain a milk with only 700 bacteria
per cubic centimeter. But of course
all this care Is of no avail if the dairy
man neglects to cool the milk proper.
ly.
FINALLY to emphasize the value Of
the clean milking suit. which to many
may seem unimportant and unneces-
sary. we will quote from an article by
p. Webster former chief of the
United States dairy division when he
says Mixers too often wear The
clothes that have done 'duty'for every
other work on the farm. Such cloth
ing may contain dirt from the hog
pen. the chicken coop, the horse barn,
or the swill barrel. and is entirely un-
fit to be worn during the milking. A
clean milking suit has a two fold eff
feet. 1t will not of itself contamin-
ate the milk and if the mixer is re-
quired to keep such a suit clean he
must of necessity keep every thing
with which he comes in contact

A LONELY I F
Story of Mans Career One That
E. Brought PITY. =.

-
Devils Lake. N. D.. March 2s.-Dan
English. an old man we'll known to
the farmers of Ramsey county, died
yesterday at the home of Eark Baker
in Sullivan township, where he had
been employed until the time of his
illness.
Dan English, whose name was really
Flaherty, the other having been
assumed when he Joined the army,
was born and raised in Boston. He led
a varied life and passed through many
experiences. When a young boy he
was placed in the reform. school which
he thought did him some good and he
used to say that If the woman he had
married when young had. lived he
might have been something else be-
sides an aimless wanderer whose
curse vas the drink habit. He had
one child, a boy when he left after
his wife's death with his mother, and
he himself Joined the army. He served
in the army ten years and was dis
charged from Fort Buford, this state.
After his discharge he drifted to this
neighborhood and worked as q farm
laborer. His peculiarities and story
were known to many who pittied his
loneliness which grew more desolate
with advancing years. He left no mon
'ey or personal property Of any value
and IL Coroner Gilbertson does not
succeed in an effort to locate the rela-
tives, he will be buried by the county.
