FOUND MATCHES IN

SOMEONE TRYING To-

Minot, N. D., Sept. 6.-What
the authorities say is a well
organized plot to injure far
mers was made late Tuesday
afternoon at the farm of Will
liam Varnes, near Des Lacs,
when unknown parties placed
matches in sheafs of grain
ready for the thresher.
The matches were distributed
freely about the grain and
would have gone into the thresh-

trampled upon some Of them.
The authorities are conduct
ing an investigation but aside
from the fact that a num-
her of men whose past rec

given employment by Varnes
Monday are suspected, there is
very little to work upon. The

BEEF CATTLE FOR
NORTH DAKOTA
BETTER FARMING ASSO.
CIATION TO BUY TWO
THOUSAND HEAD.

In order to obtain cattle for
North Dakota and to take ad-
vantage of the lower prices
prevailing in the corn belt
states, where the drouth has
cut down the supply of feed,
the North Dakota Better
Farming association has dis
patched a representative to
Kansas City with instructions
to buy at least 1000 head of
cattle.
While attempts will be made
by the Better Farming associa-
tion to secure a good quality
of dairy cattle when possible,
the greater quantity bought
will be Of the beef cattle type.
Many North Dakota farmers
who are not ready to embark
lin the dairy industry will
raise beef cattle, and it is es-
pecially to supply this de-
mand that action has been TAX
en- by the association.
While the corn crop was in
jured greatly by the drouth
in the south central states,
North Dakota is about to har-
vest the largest and finest
crop Of corn in it's history.
The greater part Of the crop
was planted with North Dakota
grown seed and has, therefore,
matured better than in pre-
vious years.
This will afford plenty Of fod-
der in all parts of the state
and the cattle industry will re-
ceive a big impetus this fall
and winter, according to the
better farming experts.

LAST BIG LAND RUSH IN
NORTH DAKOTA TAKES
PLACE.

Williston Herald: There is
still a large area of unentered
land in the Williston land
district, the best of which will
be snapped up during the pres
ent fall but the last big land
rush, in this section, is past
history.
The advertising given the Or
der of the general land office
throwing nearly all vacant
land in the district under the
32O acre act, beginning Au-
gust 80, by The Herald and
other papers had marked effect.
The opening date fell on Sat-
urday and by noon Thursday
some of the more anxious ones
had taken their places next
the windows. Some were eag-
er to secure land adjoining
their present holdings: Some
wanted to get located near
friends or relatives. Some
coveted choice tracts long kept
covered" Some filed on 320
some on $780,, some on 80, some
on 40 acres.
It was land, a piece of the
earth, varying in size on the
surface but all reaching down.
ward about 1000 miles-bar-
ring coal deposits, in which case
only a surface title can be OBJ
tained-and it was free-a
gift from Uncle Sam.
Perhaps one fourth of these
homesteaders were women, sew
eral of them quite old. The
halls in front of the offices
were filled with settees and
chairs, the best possible was
done in the way of, ventila-
ton and no great discomfort
was apparent.
Of course the officials had
no authority to arrange any
system of precedence but the
first comers instituted a sys-
TEN of taking numbers in the
order in which people arrived.
It was quite generally agreed
to and almost without excep-
tion adhered to, a fact that
spoke volumes for our western
love of fairness. Most of the
applicants kept their places
in the line just the same for
they were not certain that the
SYSTEM would hold together.
But many had to leave for diff
ferent reasons and had no trou-
BILE in retaking their proper
places.
The city kept an officer to
see that no one got the worst
of it,, There were numerous
expressions of gratitude, along
the line for this care on the
part Of the city authorities.
An old gentleman and his
daughter, coming from Divide
county, had an auto wreck Fri
day evening annd the young
lady was quite seriously injured
but they got here and got the
land they wanted. 1
All this has to do with those
who came directly to the land
office, mostly Williams county
people. AS many more filed
their papers with United States
Commis sioners at Alexander,
Schafer, Stanley and Crosby.

14.YEAR.0LD BOY
STRUCK BY TRAIN
STANLEY LAD MAY DIE AS
RESULT OF BEING HIT
BY TRAIN.

Stanley, N. D., Sept. TO-
Running at the rate of so miles
an hour Train No. 3 on the
Great Northern railroad struck
a team near Stanley killing one
of the horses and it is feared
fatally injuring the driver, An
tone Peterson, a lad Of IL years
of age.
/, That the Peterson boy was
not. killed outright is the mys-
terry to persons who witnessed
the accident.
- He was hurled in the air
and landed on his head and
shoulders 90 fully fifty feet from
the track. Physicians said
late this: afternoon that inter-
nal injuries would probably
cause the boys death.
Young Peterson was driving
a team hitched to a farm wa
.gon and failed to hear the
train. He drove onto the
crossing and his wagon was
struck squarely in the middle.
The wagon was picked up by
the cow-catcher and carried to
the Stanley station hundred
yards away.
There were a number Of eye
witnesses to the accident.

courages their teachers to at
tend summer school, as it rea-
Lies the good results derived
from the same. Much prog
ress is made by the pupils in
this school district, and it is
due to the following reasons:
long terms, well equipped
schools, good teachers and not
a change of teachers every
three months, and the great in
terest taken in the schools by
the school board with Ms CO.
operation, with the county sup
erintendent and the teachers.
All schools were ready to re-
ceive classification in this dis
trict the past year, but the
law allows only one for each
class in each district. I believe
this is a good example for 9TH
Ter districts to follow, and I
trus st"7ase will fall irr1ine the
coming year.
/ I am we'll pleased with the
educational work in Burke
county, and I am of the opin-
ion that the coming year more
schools will classify for state
aid. It requires very little
extra work and equipment in
order to receive $4,000 for
first class and $4,000 for Sec
ond class. (This refers to rur-
al schools.) The past year two
schools in the country made
application for state aid. One
school in the 500 district and
one in international district.
l hope there are many more
the coming year.
| wish to- thank the directors,
teachers and patrons for their
lcoJoperation with me in up
building the educational work

you it requires the support of
all.

AeCht Discusses Condition
Of Burke County Schools

improvements have been
steady along all lines of edu-
cational work in the county the
past year. Large new brick
modern, well equipped school
houses are being erected in
Portal and Flaxton, and these
will undoubtedly be ready for
school purposes some time
this fall. Four modern, well
equipped, one room rural school
houses were built. Several
districts installed modern heat
ing and ventilating systems,
and a number Of school boards
purchased school libraries. |
am we'll pleased with the new
library law passed by the state
Legislature making it compul-
sorry for all school boards to
buy at least $1,000 worth of
library and reference books
each year for each school or
department is the district.
This will be a big step in up
building the rural schools, as
pupil can not accomplish very
much without the necessary
books and material to work
with.
A School Fair, Corn and Po-
|tato contest was held last
year, and it proved very in
teresting and educational to
teachers, pupils and parents.
Arrangements are under way
to have the school fair this
year in connection with the
County Fair. A number of
schools are preparing to have
some exhibits at the fair.
One school officers meeting
and two teachers meetings were
held during the past year. I
was much pleased with the
large attendance at the teach
ers' meetings, and the great in
terest shown by all present.
II consider these meetings of
much Importance and much
good derived from the same.
A teachers summer school
|of four weeks duration was
held at Velva with six other
counties in the northwestern
part of the state. This school
proved very interesting, edu-
cational and beneficial to all
who attended. Burke county
was represented by Is, almost
as many as the two previous
years together. The cost was
about $4,000 less than prev
ious wears for Burke county.
One school officers meeting
and two teachers meetings
were held the past year. I
was much pleased by the large
attendance at the teachers
meeting, and the great inter-
est shown. I consider these
meetings Of great Importance.
There are no consolidated
schools in Burke county, al
though this matter was given
much consideration by two dis
tricts the. past year, but con-
solidation was not adopted. |
am much in favor of consolida-
tion, as there are more ad-
vantages, and better work ac-
complished than in the small
one-room schools, where the
teachers have all grades to in
struct. am of the opinion
that consolidation in Burke
county is not far off, and when
once tried will make much
headWay.
I have two or three districts
in the county worthy of men
ton, especially one, that has
four rural schools. This dis
trict has well equipped school
