The fall, it was claimed, produced

President Worst of Agricultural Col.
lege Visited at Walhalla.
Fargo. N. D.. Sept. 28.-President ].
H. Worst of the North Dakota agri-
cultural college returned Friday from
a trip to the Walhalla fair. where he
delivered an address before the farm
ers of that section on Thursday after
noon. Mr.. Worst stated that the ex-
hibit Of vegetables was exceptionally
fine and went to prove that vegetables
can be raised successfully in the north
ern section OF our state.
The display of small grains, clover.
orr, ETC.. was real good and Mr..
Wright of Walhalla had a corn exhibit
in which he had seventy-ive hills Of
corn that weighed m half a ton. This
Is slightly more than one-third Of an
acre on which one-half of a ton Of
corn vas raised in North Dakota. The
livestock exhibition was not very large
but the animals were fine specimens.
The women's department was fine in
all respects, as the butter and caned
goods along with the needle work and
cooking. made a fine display which oc-
cupied fully one-third Of the building.
President Worst stated that on hts
way home he saw a number of thresh-
ing outfits at Cavalier and Walhalla.
and that he also saw about a thousand
acres of oats. barley and fax that was
still in the fields uncut. because the
fields were toe wei to work in. The
crop, however. 10 a heavy n and the
flax is generally ripe enough to cut.

NEW SYSTEM
FOR D|SPATCHERS
Northern Pacific will Use
Telephones in Place of
Telegraph Service.

jamestown. n. D., Sept. 2S.-The
Northern Pacific has recently placed
an order with the Western Electric
company for equipment to be used in
extending its system of dispatching
trains by telephone.
h type OF equipment to be in
stalled has become the standard for
over 80 per zen of the telephone us
ing railroads in the United States. The
"selector" which is used for signaling.
in an instrument. as its name implies,
so designed that when properly ad-
justed it will respond only to certain
electrical signals ~ impulses. which
are regulated by the train dispatcher.
The latter can. therefore. signal any
one of the way stations at which these
solicitors are located without signaling
any of the others on the same line. In
addition to the way station equipment,
there will be telephones to the num-
her of seventeen installed in booths at
sidings. while each train will be pro-
vided with a portable telephone set
which can be connected to the line
at n point. so that in case Of emer-
gency the conductor can Immediately
set in touch with headquarters.
The present installation will cover
the Wilton division extending from
jamestown to Wilton. on the Mis-
souri,. a distance of approximately lis
miles. Six way stations will be fur
nished with "selector" sets. The dis
patcher is to be located at Jamestown.
The many advantages accruing from
the use Of the telephone instead of
the telegraph for the dispatching OF
trains. alone were responsible for its
adoption. The telephone. in the first
place. in quicker. 1t has been OBJ
served that the ring OF the bell will in
sure a prompt answer. and for this
purpose large so-called extension"
bells are used which can be heard
several hundred feet away. In the
four a that the telephone has
been used for d~ispatching. not a rail-
road accident has been laid to its door.
so that it may be said to be as safe as.
If not safer than the telegraph. Fur
lthermore, it has been made possible to
increase the length Of a division hand
led by n dispatcher by as much as
SO per cent.
The telephone. making possible as 1t
does. direct personal communication,
by word of mouth between the dis
patcher and the men under him. has
the effect of q warm, hearty %handclasp
everytime 1t is used. A spoken SEN
tence. wen when an order. Is infinite
ly more inspiring and impressive than
a succession OF cold and formal dots
and dashes. and 1t s this feature as
much as any other which has made
for the success of the telephone as an
improver Of discipline and %increaser
of efficiency of railroad systems.

Unknown MAN
DIED SUDDENLY
Was Thought to be Uncon-
scious and Was Taken
to Police Station.

st. Paul. Sept. as.-Mystery sur
rounds the death of an unidentified
man found in tho saloon Of N. Z.
johnson. Third and Sibley streets,
apparently intoxicated. Traffic PATROL
man Cummings called for the patrol
taken to central police station.
An examination by Police Surgeon
schnacke showed that the man was
not intoxicated and he was hurried
to the city hospital in the auto squad
wagon. Attempts made to resuscitate
him there failed and he died twenty
minutes later without rcgaining con-
seriousness.
Further examination Is responsible
for a theory that he died OF Il henor-
rhage of the brain hut there are no
external evidences that he met with
Violence. Other symptoms indicated
morphine poisoning. The exact u
of his death. however, will not be de-
tcrnlined until after the autopsy
by Conorer ID. c. Jones.
The identity OF the dead nan Is
still undetermined An examination
of his clothing revealed nothing hut

AVIATOR FELL
At WAHPET0N
Reached Height of 5000 Feet
Yesterday-Unhurt But
Machine was Wrecked.

Wahpeton. N. D.. Sept. 2s.-A SEN
sational glide from an elevation of
1000 feet to earth with a crippled
aeroplane furnished a thrill not looked
for. when Glenn L. Martin. a Los An
geles aviator. and manufacturer Of
a%eroplanes in the California city. met
with a mishap in the air while giving
an exhibition before a crowd of 5000
people at the Rchland county fair Fri
day.
Martin had been In the air Is min
utes when he lost control OF the hi.
plane. not two minutes before he had
completed a vertical spiral drop from
an altitude Of 5000 feet. He was
making a few preliminary evolutions
preparatory to landing when q pulley
fastening controlling the management
of the steering planes broke.
Like a crippled bird the plane fiut-
tered downward. barely topping the
strand stand. The aviator could be
seen guiding the machine by the
weight of his body alone. BY the
ability which has won Martin a repu-
tation. succeeded in landing in a clear
spot. a quarter Of a mile from the fair
grounds enclosure. He reached the
earth unhurt and would have saved
the machine from damage. but for an
obstruction in the form Of a large pile
of wood that partially wrecked the
aeroplane. The landing was almost
perfect but the collision was dis
astrous. The machine will be repaired
and a flight made today.
