FLOWING WITH DYNAMITE
Demonstration of Possibilities of by.
Mantle Ploughing to Be Given
Near Montrose.

Montrose-A demonstration Of dy-
Mantle ditching and slough draining
will be made on the place known as
the Francis Ingals farm" on the
county line between McCook and Min
ne aAa counties, three and one-half
mics northeast of Montrose, and
eight miles northwest of Humboldt.
Any one interested in the new uses
of dynamite on the farm. now so wide
ly advertised and favorably comment
ed, will be interested to know that
Mr.. F. X. Eastman, representing
powder company, will on Wednesday
and Thursday, June II and IS, on the
above mentioned farm, demonstrate
the uses of ndynamte for blasting
bitches, both in wet and dry ground,
by the new methods This will be the
blasting of ditch three fourths of
mile long at points from nine to elev-
en- feet deep, partly through wet and
partly through dry ground, and when
completed, will drain what is known
as Horse Shoe lake.
This method of ditching is solving
the drainage problem in thousand
ten impossible to be dug by machine
on account of large boulders, and to
dig them by hand is expensive. The
dynamite method is cheap, quick and
thorough 1t may also be said right
here that the handling of dynamite
is safe. Thousands of farmers who
once thought it dangerous, are now
using it daily on their property with
out fear, and to great advantage.
Demonstration will also be made to
lift out above the surface and break
up very large boulders (nigger heads)
etc.
This demonstration should interest,
and is of great benefit to all farmers
and property owners: and should sure
ly be seen by all for miles, who can
possibly attend.
Men who might want to take up this
work of ditching. shattering hard-pan
bottoms. boulder-breaking, removing,
etc, as business will be thoroughly,
effectually and profitably taught free
of charge, and should be on hand
Tuesday afternoon, June IL, prepared
to stay with it for three days.

Before w. p. Waggoner was elected
president of the Alumni association of
st. Benedict's college of Atchison,
Kan. a priest who positively declined,
had been nominated for the position.
The speaker who placed the priests's
name before the associatian said it
was fitting that man be selected who
is eligible to become bishop. This
remark made Mr.. Waggoner reluctant
to accept the election rendered him
later. even though it was unanimous

Editorial from The South Georgia Progress.
ssThe congress of the United States is proha-
blv the most wonderful legislative body IN the
world today. Not only because 1t is representa-
tive of the most wonderful nation in all history
but also because of its magnitude OF license IN the
transaction Of business. IFS final action, oy virtue
of the Constitution OF the United States, is
supreme
AS everyone knows Con he S consists of the
Senate and the House OF representatives, From
the first continental congress down to the sixty
second, now in session and ahopt TO ADJOURN, the
work has grown in volume each wear. the compll-
cations more and more pronounced the respoEsl-
bties of the members greater each session than
tee preceding session. 1t is q natural consequences,
then, that the two branches OF Congress become
as crucibles in which the talents OF men are tired

have been sent to the House Of Representatives
who never were heard from the eater. Capable
men, too in their respective communities, put by
reason of lack of experience, or lack OF ABILITY

were of necessity failures. tits true in all walks

THIS is history, and 1t is human.
Next August the voters have the privilege,

chance to look tie situation squarely in the face
and determine by the serious application of horse
sense the man who is best fitted to represent the

after he gets there.
This brings us to the point of our argument
We have not the gift of fowery rhetoric. and do
not anticipate that any reader may change his

) Known August 24---Demand
80 Per Cent Wage Raise
