RECENT DEATHS
Walker.

walker.
Col. Francis Walker died Monday
morning at his home on Summer
street after a long, lingering illness
following the breaking Of his hip on
November Is, 1910. His death takes
away the last of the early, old-school
employees of E. and T. Fairbanks and
Co., and all who have listened to
his interesting "reminiscences of the
beginnings of the scale plant will re-
greet his death sincerely. His per-
sonality was unusual, his mind and
faculties alert even in his old age,
his disposition cheerful and brave
under all circumstances, his ability
to make and retain friends of the
strongest, and his skill as a work
man placed him in the front rank
of the men who have been employed
by the Fairbanks Co. Born at
Peacham on Oct. 27, 1926, he be-
gan as a young boy to support him
self, being employed for a long time
by William Mattocks, son of Gov
John Mattocks, on his farm. He
came to st. Johnsbury on October
| Z, 1916 and the next day began to
learn the moulder's trade at the
Fairbanks factory. At that time
there were only six men employed
there and he remained until over
1000 men were working there. He
resigned on March 1, 1910, after
holding the position of superintend-
ent of the foundry for go years. His
frequent visits to his old home town
were an event not only to him but
to his old friends there. He made
long visit there in the summer of
1910 and was happy in the oppor-
tunity to see familiar faces and
places and in recalling the events of
his youth. The title "Col.' which
he carried through life was purely
complimentary, being conferred up
on him by his many friends. He was
a republican in politics and in 1890
was honored by being elected town
representative. In 1857 he mar
ried Miss Louise H. Powers of Lyn-
don who died in 1890 and their
only son, Arthur F. Walker died in
1899. Since his sons death Mr..
Walker has lived with his daughter
in-law, Mrs. Clarence A. Forrest.
The funeral will be held on Wednes-
day afternoon at three O'Clock and
Rev. H. w. Hubert will oficiate.

CONDUCT OF TOWN FARM
SeIectmen Declare Taxpayers"
Statements are Not Correct
and Explain.

and Explain.
The communication signed Tax
payer" in recent issue con-
tanned statements that the selectmen
show to be incorrect and they feel
the voters should be made acquaint-
ed with the facts. The statement
that there was paid for labor and
material exclusive of live stock is
misleading and incorrect.
In those figures are included sums
that were paid for a man to care for
the town horses after the highway
commissioner closed his work and
left the care of the horses to be
charged to some other department,
also for repairs on the barn where
the town horses are kept. 1t also
| included the expenses of building a
new silo, repairing the Stables, quite
an amount of manure purchased for
use on the land the coming season,
new stove and other permanent
! improvements. If these items are
given as the expenses of the farm
there should also be a credit al
lowed the farm for the value of
these permanent improvements. The
cost of these permanent repairs was
$5S2.S2
On pages 10 and 20 of the annual
report of the town officers will be
found a statement of what the farm
has produced the last year and what
it cost to produce it. This was pre-
pared by Selectman Welch who had
the direct management of the farm
and those figures show that the farm
produced $4,32O9O worth of crops
and stock and it cost $3,769.27 to
produce it, leaving balance OF
$55163 in the farms favor.
The expense for the permanent
improvements is not included in this
statement because the farm has not
been credited with this increase il
value. The productivity of the farm
has been greatly increased and is ex
pected to produce very much more
this season than it did last.

ROB farmers BY
BARLEY WEIGHTS
ANDERSON SAYS MANY CON-
PLANTS AGAINST ELEVATOR
MEN HAVE BEEN MADE
QUOTES THE LAW FIXING
THE METHOD OF PURCHASE.

That there are elevator men in the
state what have been engaged in sys-
tematically robbing farmers in the
purchase of barley is the burden of
many complaints lodged with the state
railroad commission, says o. p. N.
Anderson, of Starkweather, a mem
ber of the commission.
There have been quite a few com
plants of late of elevator men in
buying barley taking fifty pounds to
the bushel," says Mr.. Anderson. This
is a practice in direct violation of
the law and must cease. The statute
prescribes that forty eight pounds of
barley makes a bushel and further
says:
1T shall be unlawful for any per-
son, firm, association, copartnership
or corporation doing business in the
state to purchase, or receive any
weight, oats, barley, flax or any other
at a different weight for the bushel
measure than the number of pounds
fixed by the laws of the state, and
no dockage shall be taken or re-
ceived on same, excepting on such
as grain inspection boards for the
terminal markets of the states of
Minnesota and Wisconsin place
dockage.'
There might be some excuse for
taking two extra pounds Tor every
bushel purchased in lieu of dirt for
dockage in the grain If the dealer had
to submit to his barley being docked
at the terminals, but such Is not the
case. Most of the grain whether
shipped by an elevator of farmer,
goes to the terminal markets OF Min
nesota and the laws of that state pro-
hibit the dockage Of either barley or
oats. penalty of $25 to 800 for
each offense is provided for the viola
tion of the above law Most of the
North Dakota warehouse men are
good lawabidfng citizens following a
legitimate business and entitled to the
protection of the law, but whoever
has taken more than legal rights in
the purchase of grain should make
complete restitution as there can be
no doubt but that the seller has a
clear claim"

POULTRY SHOW
\ WEEK OF JAN. n
PRESIDENT CRARRE STATES
THAT THE INTEREST nv THIS
EXHIBITION Is GROWING ALL
THE TIME-STATE AND CITY
ASSIST IN ENTERPRISE.

SAM +. Crabbe, president of the
North Dakota State Poultry associa-
ton, states that the interest in the
coming state poultry exhibition which
will take place in this city during
the week of Jan. IA. will be greater
than ever before. Letters are pour
ing in on the secretary making in
quiries as to prizes, premiums, and
all about the show, and there Is every
reason for believing that the eXhibi-
tion will be the greatest thing of
the kind that ever took place sin
this city.
The fact that North Dakota and
the northwest in general is taking
more interest in the raising of poul-
try shows that such exhibitions and
organizations as the poultry associa-
tion are making themselves felt in
this country. Hundreds Of tons of live
and dressed poultry have been ship
ped out of the state before Thanks
giving and up to and including the
holiday season and this has netted
the farmers large sums. The state
as a whole has recognized the value
Of poultry raising and has appro-
priated a sum to be used each year
in running the exhibition; OF course
this is by no means sufficient, but it
helps. The Fargo Commercial club
has also taken notice that poultry
raising is a good thing and it has
also contributed something. 1t is
hoped that every citizen of Fargo will
attend the show and encourage the
officers in their efforts along this
line. The prospects for a fine show
were never better.

WATCH MEETING
TUESDAY P. N.
INTERESTING UNION SERVICES
AT THE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH WHICH WILL BE
SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS IN
THEIR CHARACTER.


The different churches of the city
will have watch meeting tomor-
row evening at the First Presbyterian
church, this being suggested at a
ministerial meeting held recently by
DR.. j. M. Walters, Rev. A. e. Peterson,
Rev. Mr.. Behner and others. It was
decided to hold a social period from Q
to 1880 and after that hour a pro-
gramme will be rendered with music
and two addresses as features. At
five minutes of the entry of the New
Year the members of the congregation
will fall upon their knees and engage
in prayer until after the clock has
tolled off the kne1l of the departing
year and has ushered in the new one.
The services will be quite interesting
and all are invited to attend.
1t has been decided that several of
the churches will unite in the week of
prayer, and each evening with the ex-
ception of Saturday next week there
will be services in the First Baptist
church which will be attended py
members of all the churches. There
will be different speakers each even
ing.
1t is the present intention to con-
tinue the services until the first of
February when the Wide World Mis-
sionary movement will begin in this
city at the First Presbyterian church.

ganization on the secret work and
said that Elkdom all over the state
is in a prosperous condition. He was
warmly applauded.
There were ten candidates ad-
mitted to membership and they were
glad to get in Following the
meeting there was a social session
during which several of the candi-
dates assisted in making fun. Fol-
lowing this part of the evening there

ment furnished by George H. and AL
bert Webster.

meeting Saturday night was one of
the very best the order in Fargo has
had in many years, and there were
several members from outside pres
ent. All enjoyed the different scenes
that were presented by Esquire Kent
and he made hit in each one.

FARGO PIONEER
PASSED AWAY
ANDREW McHENcH PASSED
AWAY AT HIS LATE HOME ON
SOUTH SIDE AFTER A LONG
PERIOD OF ILLNESS-FUNERAL
TOMORROW.

Another of Fargo's pioneer citizens
responded to deaths call last even
ing when Andrew McHench passed
away after a years illness at his late
home at 813 Fourth avenue south. He
was 80 years old and death resulted
from a gradual decline following a
stroke of paralysis a year ago.
The deceased was born Nov. 12,
1882 at Gilboa, N. Y. He came west
in 1870, locating in Fargo July 2, 1871,
after brief residence at Bogusville,
where a large number of pioneers
settled before it was known the rail-
road was going to cross the Red river
at Fargo.
For years the late Mr.. McHench was
a member of the Dakota territorial
council at Yanktown, S. D., the first
capital of this territory, before it's
subsequent division into two states.
Since that time he has been engaged
in the lumber and machinery business
and as farmer, from which vocations
he has retired some years ago.
Surviving him are two sons, Edward
F. McHench of Fargo, and Willard S.
McHench of Battle Mountain, New.
Funeral services will be held from the
residence tomorrow afternoon with
Undertaken Wasem in charge.

PRIZES
Those That Will Be Given at the
Fargo Kennel Show on Exhibi-
tion on Broadway.

President Cowie of the Fargo Ken
mel club has caused to be. placed in
the Benton jewelry show window on
Broadway the cups that have been do
mated by different business firms of
the city for the kennel show which will
take place during the week of Jan. Ia,
and they are attracting great deal Of
attention. Never before in the north
west has there been such an array of
cups given as prizes and Mr.. Cowie is
very much pleased and grateful to the
donors for their gifts. There are cups
for all classes and conditions Of ca
mines and it is believed that there will
be an immense number of dogs shown
in Fargo. Letters are pouring in from
all over the northwest and entries are
coming in rapidly. The show will be
the greatest that ever took place In
this section and will be a rival for the
great exhibitors that have taken place
in the twin cities. All of the members
of the club are hard at work and its
success is assured.
