ty-which win be held at Mandan;s N. D.,

Is at 10 o'clock q. m. It will be your
privilege to hear some of the best
speakers in tho country. both English

their whole lives in the study Of bet
ter farming, not only in this country
but in foreign countries Is well.
+" The interest that is taken in bet
ter method and system Of farming by
men in all lines Of business and in all
walks Of life ought to appeal to Us aud
we ought to be willing and glad Of the
opportunity of attending just such meet
ings as this when 80 much can. be learn
ed about better farming methods. I
especially urge all business men and
merchants to attend this congress. We
must cooperate with the farmers, for
their success means our success. Let.us
show them by our actions that we are
interested in their welfare.
"Better farming not only means
larger income and greater reward for
our labor but it also increases the val
ne Of our farms and convinces the peo-
pie in the east that we have the best
land in the world with proper and SCI
entic cultivation of the soil.
"While attending the Tri State
Grain Growers convention at Fargo
where more than 5000 farmers were
in attendance, I heard many farmers
say that many Of the points brought
out at the convention were worth hun
dreds Of dollars to them. This is Just
the kind Of meeting we are going to
have at Mandan.
"It is sincerely hoped that a. many
farmers as possible will bring their
wives, sons and daughters. for such
meetings as this will be very interest
ing as well as instructive to them. In
addition to this the Commercial club
of Mandan will provide splendid en-
tertainment both evenings for the Wis
itors. We know from past experiences
that when Mandan gets up an enter
tainment for its guests it is second to
none in any city in America. !"

Frederick Fleet, a lookout on
the Titantic, testified before the
Senate Investigating Committee
that had the lookouts been fur
nished with spyglasses, as he
alleged they were not. the ice
berg might have been spied in
time to avert the disaster at sea.
Maj. Arthur Godfrey Peuchen,
of Toronto, a yatchman who was
rescued from the Titantic, agreed
on this point with Fleet and tes-
titled that the Titanic crew was
lacking in experienced seaman.
From all accounts the equipment
of the Titanic was lacking in
many particulars. In the first
. place the officers of the vessel
were imbued with the idea that
it could not sink; that it was the
greatest ship ever built, and that
mountains of ice would have nc
effect upon it. Hence it was a
Jolly crew of sailors, death anc
destruction being the least ir
their minds, and as for life boats
shey had not the least conception
hat they would be needed OF
the voyage. hence there were
not more than half enough OF

The mascot of the Merrimac is dead.
1t will be remembered that the Mer-

all his fame. He tried to sink 1t In

unable to accomplish his purpose.
The boat went to the bottom. but It
did not interfere with commerce. He

Inflated boat he carried with him

Want New Colorado PARK.

The establishment of a national
park In Colorado, totally different In
character. It is said. from any exist
ing park, and much closer to the CEN
ter of population than any of the pres
ent reservations. is recommended In q
number of letters received by Secre-
tary of the Interior Fisher.
"The general idea of having a large
park at or near the place proposed ap-
peals 10 me personally" said Secre-
tary Fisher. hut before such action
could be taken It would be necessary
to have an examination made OF the
territory. Therefore IT would be nee.
essary to submit the matter to con
gress, as the department has no avail
able money even for the survey"
The park as proposed would include
an area OF about 100000 acres. Por.
lions of Grand, Jackson. Larimer and
Boulder counties would be included
and the park would take In Longs
Peak, Grand lake and the canyons OF
the Big Thompson river.

A few years ago. when Bailey was

they landed at Puerto Rico he heard
an Irish stewardess on the boat ex

He excused himself from the rest OF
the party, engaged an interpreter. and
went up through the marts, where be
told every man, woman and child who
would listen that there was woman
at yon hotel whose soul craved Puer-
to Rican dog.
Within thirty minutes vast con-
course Of natives, each leading from
one to four ill-favored dogs, had gath
cred at the hotel that harbored the
rivers and harbors committee, and
certain members of the committee,
who got tired of stepping on dog

ably peeved over the situation. For
a time no man dared rise on his tip
toes lest he make dog squeal shrilly
when he let his heels down again.
1t had been planned to give the Wis

their hotel looked so much like a
pound during hydrophobia scare that
few Of the entertainment committee
could get within handshaking dis

But the Irish stewardess succeeded
in buying a dog. She got it for 10
cents.

hard-working woman, and she got

MAKES SHIPS UNSUITABLE
New Invention That Is Being Tried
Out on American War
Vessels.

An invention for keeping water
from entering ships through holes by
means of compressed air is being
tested on board the battleship North
Carolina. Captain G. G. Marsh, COM
mander of the North Carolina. thinks
that the use of the apparatus will pre-
vent vessels from going to the bot
tom following collisions. or when hit
by torpedoes or shells. and declares it
will revolutionize marine warfare.
The invention is merely an adaptation
to the compartments of ships of the
science of air pressure as already ap-
piled to tunnel building. 1t was de-
veloped by one of the engineers Of
the subway in this city.

COST HIS SALARY TO SLEEP
Newly Elected Senator Discovers That
$3.50 Month Is Not Considered
High Price.

A newly elected senator came on
early to Washington to arrange for
rooms, and had an object lesson fur
nished him on ''the high cost of 'liv-
ing"-the winning slogan in the recent
campaign. He wanted to start in
with the swim" and be at the center
of things so he priced the 'focusal"
hotel.
I'VE make it $3.50 per month. two
rooms and bath, to you. senator-with-
out meals" said the clerk dreamily.
When the senator caught his breath.
he was two blocks up the avenue.
He tried another hotel; moderate
ly exclusive house whose Hobbies were
a sort of eddying pool of statesmen
and Influential lobbyists. To him
the attendant f1amen Of this gilded
shrine remarked: Nov, we have a
choice two rooms with bath, at $3.50
per month"
Without eating-just for a sleep

I'd burn up with fever if l had to
sleep at that price,"
The salary of a senator is $500,
and it is figured on the high level of
simple living" in Washington that he
ought to part with that much for as
sured rest at a good hotel. But the
new senator didn't feel that way about
it. Finally it was suggested that he
might take a room at the simple hotel
of the old days, at one dollar per
twenty-four hours and save money,
using the parcel room for baggage
when away over Sunday. Then he
could take a peep at Peacock Alley
and meet friends in the lobby" which
