DEAD BODY FOUND
Boys Searching for Bottles Found
Body and Notified Police.

Grand Forks, N. D., April 29.-Ly-
ing partly buried in mud, head twist
ed almost around, and badly cut and
gashed, the body Of an infant was
found alongside Of the river in the
western end of Central park.
Three boys, who were searching
along the river for empty bottles
found the body Of the infant and i'm
formed John Dencker, who turned
the case over to the police.
The child had evidently been thrown
into the river and had been washed
up onto the shore. The head was
twisted around, but whether it had
been done before the child had been
gotten rid Of by an unnatural mother
or whether the action of the water
and the fact that the body may have
hit distractions, did it, is a matter
that is yet to be solved.
The child was evidently about q
week or ten days old and was well
formed and developed, and weighs
about twelve pounds.
The body was taken in charge by
Deputy Sheriff Fisher and is being
held pending the rival Of Coroner
Hetherington.

MOST DANGEROUS
Flies do More Harm Than any Other
Flight the Fly

Flies are the most dangerous in
sects we have. They are much more
dangerous than bees or hornets; these
may sting you and the sting is pain
full but you soon get over the pain.
Flies do much more harm than this.
They walk over filthy places like sew
ers and garbage cans, and after eat
ing the filthy food which they find
there, they come into your house and
walk on the food you eat, carrying
on their feet the tiny germs which
live in filth just as you live in house
These germs are not only filthy and
disgusting, but many Of them cause
such diseases as typhoid fever, chol-
era infantum and summer complaint.
When the flies bring them from some
dirty place to your food or leave some
of them when they crawl on your face
or hands, you may swallow these
germs without knowing it and be
taken ill with one Of these diseases
Every housewife should take it upon
herself to be a committee of one to
fight flies. A few minutes spent in
determination will pay big returns.

NOT WANTED HERE

The action being taken by the far
mers and commercial clubs of Cali
fornia in protest to the free sugar
bill. would be we'll followed by the
commercial and agricultural interests
Of this state.
While North Dakota has not as
sumed the position as sugar pro-
ducing state, that some others have,
yet the passage of this bill would
mean the killing Of an agricultural
industry in the incipent stage, that
will mean millions to the farmers
of this state in the next twenty
years.
While the bill may not as vitally
interest US now as it does Montana,
Californa and some other states,
yet the day is not far distant that
sugar beets will be one of the big
money producing crops of North Da-
kota, and the passage of this bill is
a direct blow at one of our future
agricultural hopes.
Great things were promised for
free coffee on it's undergoing tariff
revision, yet the price of coffee to-
day is as far high or higher than
it ever was before. No more can
be expected for the free sugar bill.

RAIL NOTES
Activities Of Railway Crews in Our
Neighboring County.

That the Great Northern will build
q line Of railway through Mckenzie
county sometime or other is demon
strated in that Senator McCumber
has introduced . bill in congress
authorizing the company to construct
operate and maintain bridge across
the Missouri at or near the mouth Of
the little Missouri and one across the
Yellowstone river in the western part
Of the county.
The line being located up the little
Missouri is nearing completion. As
soon as the crew now working on
the line has finished its work it is
said it will go back down the river
to the mouth Of Cherry creek and go
over the line that was located down
the river by the Northern Pacific.
The crew camped at the Madison
Bros. ranch that has been going over
the Northern Pacific survey from
Seven Mile creek on west, has also
nearly finished its work. The survey
ors will move to near Alexander in
few days where they expect to fin
ish the survey recently abandoned

THE BEST LAIN
PLAN, ETC.
THE OBSERVATIONS OF POET
BURNS AGAIN BROUGHT
FORCIBLY HOME

Tuesday was peaceful day. . nice
urbane, quiet day after the bowling
storm Of Monday that made one hold
their millinary and wish for Kansas
or Duluth or some other section OF
this great and glorious land where
the wind scarcely ever blows above
two hundred and fifty miles an hour.
It was day to make one feel at
peace with all the world and we did
and Alcalde Smith evidently felt the
same way for with his face suffused
in smiles he told US of the peaceful
condition of the police record in April
of the much going up and down the
land and never drop of intoxicants
or an unkind word to mar the serene
atmosphere that extended over the
city. We rejoiced with him and we
came right over, Dragged about it
lot and congratulated the town and
wrote on the happy condition Of the
police court record for April.
AS Tuesday was fine day Abra-
ham Bousliman walked towards the
river and on his return trip from the
Big Muddy passed near the Palace
Clothing house where Sam Gordon
was enjoying the day and entertain
ing his friends in that inimatable
manner of his when he is in mood to
recount. Abraham reflected on the
gathering and Sam reflected on the
passer by in such caustic manner
that one branch of the Semetic race
smote the other on the cheek and
this time, no Biblical pestilance came
to stay the hand of the Assyrian host
as it smote the race Israel, as it did
on that historic occasion mentioned in
Holy writ.
Sheriff Olson was called and in the
subsequent hearing before Alcalde
Aaen fine and costs Of $12.7O was
assessed against Bousliman which
was promptly paid.

BIG MOVEMENT
OF SETTLERS
MANY INQUIRIES COME RELA.
TIVE TO LAND PRICES IN
NORTH DAKOTA

Aberdeen, S. D., April 80. p.
Shaner, general immigration. agent
for the Chicago, Milwaukee 4 St.
Paul railroad, was in Aberdeen for a
day with j. H. frey, local immigra-
ton agent for the road, on his return
from Bismarck, N. D., where he at
tended q meeting Of the Missouri
Slope Development league Of North
Dakota. Mr.. Shaner while here stat
ed there would be a strong immigra-
ton movement from the east to the
west this year; that eastern home
seekers are greatly interested in the
possibilities in the Dakotas and Mon
tana, and his department is in re-
ceipt Of thousands Of inquiries rela-
tive to prices of land, chances for fill
ing on homesteads, etc. He said the
Milwaukee's exhibit car showing
farm products of western states,
which first toured the east two years
ago, had been received with individu-
atty in many sections, the people
refusing to accept as products Of the
northwest, the exhibits of farm crops
shown. The car last year, however,
met with warm welcome, and since
inquiries Of information, advertising
matter, ETC., regarding the northwest
had been pouring in at a tremendous
rate. "This is going to be great
year for the northwest, and particu-
larly for the Dakotas and Montana," "
said Mr.. Shaner.

WOULD DISSOLVE
HARVESTER TRUST
THE GOVERNMENT WILL PUSH
EFFORTS TO HAVE THE COM
RINATION DISSOLVED

Washington, April pa civil an
THRUST suit, seeking the dissolution
of the international Harvester COM
pany under the Sherman law, will
be filed in Minneapolis tomorrow. This
is the elimination of an investiga-
tion extending over five years.
One important contention Of the
government has been that the Inter.
national Harvester company Of Amer
ica, the selling combination, should be
dissolved.
The international Harvester COM
pany is $4,000 900 corporation,
composed of six subsidiaries, the Nc
Cormick, Deering, Champion, Milwau-
kee, Osborne and Plano.
During the past few months, Attor:
ney General Wickersham and counsel
for the corporation made strenuous
efforts to agree on plan Of disintre-
CATION which would meet the ends Of
the law. Their endeavors were futile
and the problem will be fought out
in court. !.
One insuperable obstacle was the
refusal of the Harvester company to
separate the Mccormick and Deering
harvesting machine COMPARES as sub
salaries in any plan of dissolution.
The government maintained that the
so-called trust as whole controlled
from eighty-five to ninety per cent
of the harvester business of the coun-
try and its two principal subsidiaries
the Mccormick and Deering, repre-
sented from sixty to sixty-five per
cent of the business.
Under these conditions the attorney
general refused to consent to any
plan Of disintegration which held the
Mccormick companies as one.
