when the news was received that Mr..

resident of this neighborhood where he
was much respected by all who knew him.

The Grand Forks papers say that the
railroad people estimate that 10000
threshing hands passed througe that
city last week on the trains. The rail-
roads had all they could do to provide
accommodations for all. We believe this
one of the economic sins of North Dakota.
The thousands of dollars given to
these transients could be largely saved
by the use of more but smaller thresh.
ing outfits. There ought to be thresh.
ing outfit for every thousand acres-and
with these small outfits the farmers with
their own horses and ordinary help could
do their own threshing-and mostly get
it done sooner and much cheaper. The
gasoline engine is rapidly coming to the
front on this line. A fall like the pre-.
sent goes long way to prove the fallacy
of the big steamer and it's large and ex.
pensive crew.
