Washburn, N. d., April 4.-To The
Forum: The ice in the Missouri river
has broken and is floating down rap
idly but doing no damage. High wa

doing active service again soon after
the ice is cleared away and the land

Lucian Edgar Follensbee delivered
his famous lecture, Genius and Gump-
ton, in the operahouse last evening,
Owing to other attractions in town at
the same hour only a small audience
greeted him. The lecture contained
many interesting and helpful sayings.
The speaker is very much in earnest in
all his witticism.
The commercial club of Washburn,
working in connection with the Mis-
souri, Slope Development league, an
nounced a banquet at Washburn April
4 to be held in the operahouse. Invi-
tations were sent out to individuals re-
siding in different parts Of the county
which were ~fayorably responded to by
nearly 200. Natter a neatly served ban-
quet DR.. c. G. Forbes acted as toast
master and proposed a dozen toasts
which were most interestingly and in
diligently responded to by those COM
ing from abroad. The different re-
sources of the slope country were ably
presented. y. b. Slosson of Bismarck
was present and in a few well chosen
words presented the work Of the slope
Development Co. and asked for CO.
operation in the various counties,
and in response the Mclean County
Development league was organized by
choosing a president, secretary and a
committee to draft a constitution and
bylaws and with power to call another
meeting in the near future. The
Washburn band furnished excellent
music for the occasion. The people
dispersed with the desire to make the
natural of this slope county

name oficer Blake of Jamestown has
been here this week and caused the
arrest of Adam Gerber for mistreat-
ment Of his 1O-year-old son Theodore.
Gerber was brought in and fined $40
and costs, amounting in all to some
thing owe $26. The little boy was
taken Monday by e. K. Mork, presi-
dent Of the humane society, to.
Mandan, to the reform school for
safe keeping until further disposition
may be had with the child. Gerber is

crudely ground and cooked up to-
gether. while the parents dine at a
separate table and enjoy ordinary
fare.

DOES YOUR SEED CORN
TERMINATE WELL?

TEt #sET-F fF". aE.l@ NHE#Ert.
The following bulletin has been u.s.
sued by the United states govern
ment:
One of the most important questions
TO be answered be every one who is
going to plant corn this spring is
whether or not his seed corn ger
inmates well. AS a result of a dry
summer and a wet fall, corr did not
mature normally over a large part OF
the corn belt and much of the seed
does not terminate well. In reply to
a request sent to representative farm
ers, under the direction Of Secretary
Wilson of the United States depart
ment of agriculture 1908 samples OF
corn intended for seed this spring
have been tested by the seed labor
atory of the department and they show
an average termination Of 81 per cent.

fine HORSE SHOW
At DEVILS LAKE

Apparently unmindful of snow and
rain, hundreds of farmers of the lake
region gathered at Devils Lake, to see
the first big horse fair and show ever
attempted in this section Of the state.
So many high-bred animals were
brought to the show that it was found
necessary to increase the classes to
include all the entries. While there
we're not enough silver trophy cup for
all classes, arrangements were made
to make the prizes satisfactory.
The show was conducted without a
hitch and the programme delighted the

Tics Cause fire Scare.

Sheldon, April "a dense smoke
arising from a pile of ties lying be-
side the Northern Pacific track oppo-
site the park brought out the fire de-
partment in full force. Practically
every tie in the pile was ablaze be-
fore the conf1agration was discovered,
and as the ties were covered with a
coating of creasote, the smoke arising
from the flames would have done jus
tice to a blaze in a tar factory. The
fire was quickly eXtinguished, as
soon as the pressure of the artesian
well could be brought to bear on it,
which took some minutes on account
Of the MIGRANTS not working properly.
AS there was very little wind, no adj
joining property was endangered. The
fire originated from the passenger
train. The ash pan of the locomotive
raj dumped opposite the park and
the Goals set fire to the grass which
spread to the ties.

OUT IN
STARK COUNTY

Dickinson Press: on wednesday
the county board, in company with
Surveyor Veigel, visited Antelope
creek and found that the 60-foot span
bridge at the Shipley crossing was a
total wreck as a result of the ice jam
last week.
This bridge was not large enough
in the first place and the board has
now decided to erect a 90-foot bridge.
Surveyor Veigel found a cake of ice
on the creek bank that measured up
to the required dimension for 100 tons
weight, and he said 1t was no wonder
that the small bridge was twisted out
of shape and carried down stream
some distance.
Wednesday the commissioners went
to Richardton and drove out to the
Heart river, ten miles south, to see
how much the bridge was damaged,
1t was thought that the bridge could
be repaired for a few hundred dollars
and made all right.
There was a report that the bridges
at the John and James Little cross
ings were also damaged to ON ex-
tent. People who were UP from Glad
EtOHC AdlS1 Al tlC WCGA CCCAACu "
think that the damage did not amount
to much.
In the western part of the county
there is nothing very serious reported
up to this time.
At Dickinson it became necessary
to dynamite the ice gorge to save the
Heart river bridge,
It will take about $4,000 TO u Ia
the bridge at the Andy Shipley place
and it will likely take about sixty
days.
Hettinger county appears to be hav-
ing Its share of damage from high
water. The railroad bridges at New
England. Regent and Mott had some
of the pilipg cut by tie ice and were
put out of commission last Thursday.
1t was thought, however. that the
Milwaukee train woula be able to run
into New England again by the first
of the coming week. Il
There may be some trouble at Man
dan when the Missouri river ice goes
out which is expected almost any day.

The low average termination for
many of the larger corn states show
how serious the condition is, many OF
the samples being practically worth
less for seed purposes.
Single ear termination tests should
be made in all cases where ear corn is
to be used for seed. When it is
necessary to use sheEled corn of which
single ear tests have not previously
been made the corn should be care
fully mixed and tested for termination.
Not less than two times 100 kernels
