rich body Of iron ore rivaling in quail

range of Minnesota is said to have
been discovered near Elmo, new
town on the 500, line east of Devils

The ore was discovered by John

SAY WORK is
PERMANENT.
BRIDGE NEAR MONDAK IS TO BE
BUILT HEAVIER THAN WAS
PLANNED.

There has been a good deal Of specu-
lotion locally as to the bridge being
built at Mondak by the G. N. 1t
has been reported that the bridge was
only to be a temporary affair to be
used in crossing over supplies.
From representative of the road
this paper gets the information that
the bridge is to be a permanent affair
and is to be built much heavier than
IVES first planned. This gentleman
st..ted that the plans had been chang
ed after a conference with tho War
Department officials and that it had
been decided to make the draw 800
feet instead Of $50, as first planned.
Also that the units Of the bridge,
which had already been ordered, were
changed to heavier material. These
tatements are made on good authority
and if this line is made permanent 1t
will mean much to Williston, as this
would prove large trading center
for much additional territory.

OPPRESSION is
THE CAUSE.
GREEKS ON WAY TO NATIVE
LAND-SAY PRESENT WAR IS
RELIGIOUS WAR.

Last Friday q number of Greeks
passed through here O.. their way
east to embark for their native eoun-
try to take part in the Balkan-Tu1k-
ish war. One Of the party when asked
while the train stopped hare for some
information about the cause Of the
conflict and its effect said: MANY
people are looking for information -
to why the Balkan nations had to go to
war with Turkey. The reason is be-
cause most of the population in Euro
pean Turkey are all Christians, Bull
garians, Greeks, Servians and Monte
negarians. The so-called modern
Turk reformers (anarchists) rather,
when the government changed they
promised free education to the Chris.
tian people, as we'll as religion, but
on the other hand they impress them
to deny Christianity and acknowledge
Mohamedanism. These Christian peo-
pie, especially the Greek nation. roa-
lie that Christianity is the rod Of civil
lization. The Greek people were the 1st
to adopt Christianity, after the Gree
ian empire had fallen. They held Sec
ret services in underground caverns
so as not to be executed by the turks.
"Many the people feared brutal
deaths when they were caught deny.
ing the religion of the Turks. Then
when the Turkish government was
changed they started their cruel ac-
tions. Many Greeks and Bulgarians
were killed, especially the much be-
loved priests of the church and many
teachers of the schools. Many of these
were burned alive at the stake for
not changing to the Turkish religion.
Many young girls. as pretty as found
anywhere we're carried off to the
mountains and God only knows tho
torture they received while in Turk
ish hands. In Spite, town in Mace
donia, they killed forty-eight Bulgar-
ians in one night and after they had
accomplished this work they tore their
eyes out. These small nations appeal
ed to the European powers for aid, but.
their appeals were never grantd. So
they took up arms for self defense and
to free these Christian people from
this horrible torture. Greece has
checked the Turks so far in former
years so that when Europe was about
to be overrun by the Mohamedanism
the Greeks did a great deal in pre-
venting this and therefore Europe
owes a great deal to the Grecian ma
tion for this noble STEP"
The leader Of the party that passed
through here said that if they were
not needed in the army then they
would offer their services in policing.

ENDEDLIFE
WITH BULLET.
OWNER OF SOCIALIST PAPER
APPEAL TO REASON
SUICIDES.

Girard, Kas., Nov. ILL. A. Way
land founder and owner Of the Ap-
peal to Reason, the socialist weekly
shot himself at his home here early
today. He fired a bullet into his
mouth muffling the sound with bed
clothes. Between the leaves of book
lying on the bed the following note
was found: "The struggle under the
competitive system isn't worth the ef-
fort. Let it pass"
Friends attribute his act to despond-
ency over the death of his wife who
was killed in an automobile accident
a year ago. Recently he has been
melancholy.
Wayland was to appear in federal
court in Fort Scott, Kas., today to
answer the charge preferred by the
government against the several edi-
tors and owners Of the Appeal to
Reason Of circulating through the
mails defamatory matter concerning
an official of the federal prison at
Leavenworth.
Mr.. Wayland was So years old. He
founded the paper fifteen years ago.

SAY ROAD WILL
BE BUILT.
IN LETTER TO AMBROSE MER-
CHANT G.. N. OFFICIAL SAYS
EXTENSION WILL BE BUILT.

Information comes from Great
Northern official to the effect that the
company will not build the Crosby ex-
tension at all but instead will extend
the Wildrose branch into Plentywood,
Montana. Mr.. Gray Of the Company
was asked about this in st. Paul last
week. He stated that the directors
of the road are more inclined to do
that than to extend the Crosby branch
and that they have decided under no
circumstances to parallel another road
because it makes competition SO hard
that it is not profitable to the COM
pany.
The Wildrose extension to Plenty.
wood, Montana, would go through
Cottonwood Lake. Reports are to the
effect that conditions are very favor
able for the building of the Wildrose
extension next summer. These facts
were contained in letter from a
Great Northern official to a merchant
in Wildrose.

FOR MORE
LIVE STOCK.
EXPERTS SAY LIVESTOCK BET.
TER THAN BUMPE-: WHEAT
CROP

One North Dakota farmer has salts
fed himself that the production Of live
stock is much more profitable than the
production of bumper wheat crops, &C.
cording to results reported to the
Better Farming Special Service Bu-
reau. o. A. Schollander, a graduate
of the Agricultural College, during
the past year raised 22O head of hogs.
Last week he marketed 80 head of last
winters pigs, topping the market at
$8.15 per cwt. This carload of hogs,
while not heavy in weight, brought in
over $1700.00. They were wintered
cheaply and grown this summer chief
ly on pasture crops, supplemented by
screenings from his last years grain
crop, or screenings purchased from the
elevators. Seventeen acres of mixed
mall grains planted thickly were more
than sufficient to pasture 22O head of
hogs for the season. The 10th of
September they were turned into a
field of Gehu corn for finishing.
Considering the rental value of the
land as $500 an acre. and fair price
for all labor required in production
of corn, it cost $500 per acre and
averaged close to 40 bushels. The
hogs harvested it themselves. While
complete figures are nat available at
this time, it is probable that the first
car Of hogs paid a net profit of over
$500.
The area required to produce the
grain, pasture and corn necessary to
grow those hogs and feed the dams,
was less than 40 acres. With wheat
at 20 bushels to the acre, fair aver
age yield this year, not less than
100 acres Of land would have been re-
quired to have produced the same in
come as was obtained from the 80
head Of hogs. The labor requirements
and other items of cost would have
been fully as large.
At the same time the hogs were
marketed, MI. Schollander marketed
a car of steers that averaged $3.50 per
cwt. These steers we're grazed thru
the summer on pasture and finished
during the past four weeks on corn.
They harvested their own corn, the
same as did the hogs.
Livestock affords splendid market
for the early varieties Of corn, such
as can be grown in this state and the
man using livestock for harvesters
can be assured that he will not have
any trouble with labor.

SAYS NO PLACE

FORMER RESIDENT SAYS NORTH
DAKOTA LOOKS BEST TO
HIM AFTER ALL.

A letter written to this paper by
C. ]. Howard, a former resident OF
this city has some good information
and advice for people of this section.
The letter says:-"I am now in Port

If you hear of anyone thinking of COM
ing here tell them to stay where they
are, for they are better of. The
price of land is very high. From SIS
to $4,000 per acre for stump land
that it would take fifty years to clear
100 acres, at a cost Of about $4,000
per acre." 49,. .
