Venireman Stewart Quizzed BY
Defense When Court Opens
Monday

Attorney j. Shurly Kennary took UP
the questioning of David Stewart, No.

week of the Gilman trial began. Mon
day morning, In Judge Phelan
court.
Attorney James Mcnamara, who
was absent, Saturday, because OF an
injured knee, was in court, Monday,
ftmpfng slightly Assistant -PFeseeat-
ing Attorney Jasnowski, who had to
9 ave court, last week. with an ulcer
ted tooth, was still absent.
Mr.. Stewart told Attorney Kennary
that at the time OF the aIdermanic ar
sests he thought that IL was "a good
hing to bring those men to time.'
ut seemed to me that the condi-
) ON revealed was general through
out the country he said. Il WASH
surprised to learn OF 1t in Detroit.
Mr.. Stewart did not think he plac-
cd much credence in the newspaper
stories. He said that at any rate they
did not prejudice him against the az
dermen. His idea was a general one
--he believed that the honor Of the
city should be upheld, but he did
,.pt form an opinion Of the specific
ruiit or innocence of the accused.
'On what would you base your YER
dict In this casee?' asked Mf. Ken
nary.
"On the facts"
How would you determine the
facts 2,
Mr.. Stewart hesitated. :.

be expected to answer questions with
which they aren't familiar. II you

ests of the Rutland railroad; "The st.
Adams Messenger, deeply concerned over
the welfare of the Central Vermont"
To Thomas True, who died in Burke,
VT, the other day was given no less
period than one hundred years in
which TO view history in the making.
Thomas True died, as he had lived, no
doubt, a plain man, but in life which
far outspanned the scriptural three
score and ten, he witnessed marvellous
changes In a generation when history
is only a thing to be reviewed, few if
any can ever hope to see repeated such
radical transitions in our industrial and
political life. Thomas True was born
in the year of Perry's triumph on Lake
Erie; as a boy of twelve he heard his
elders talking about the Washingtonan
movement, later to bring about tidal
wave of temperance. He attained his
ma jorfty in year that witnessed the
organization of the Wing party and at
thirty he heard of the telegraph for
the first time. He had lived and labored
fifty years when beardless boys marched
away to fight in the war between the
states. The period of construction and
the day of a nations commercial and
industrial supremacy were alike crowd
ed into his declining years. Truly, of
Thomas True may it be said: This man
came to his grave in full age"

Snring in Cactus Center.

There's some spell over Cactus town
It's noticed everywhere;
There's softness now in every oath that
honest cowboys swear;
The pool games busted up, they say
down at old Poker Bll''s-
The players are all pokin' round the
pleasant green clad hills.
The ponies now are sheddin fast--your
shap'sll prove the same
The calves are gamb'lin on the range,
fer gamb'lin istheir game;
The prairie dogs are scoldin' sharp, and
sassy as kin be,
And spring has struck this Cactus land
leastways it seems to me.
The sun is always settin' now in clouds
as red as blood;
The sun has gone from off the roads, but
so amt gone the mud;
A pony's hoofs don't chatter much when
he is drove to town,
But when it comes to spatterin
out or you will drown.
rhe ranch is gittin' what il needs-new
barns and stronger erals,
And all the poker crowd in town are
mournin' err their pals;
rhe barkeep, propped ag'inst the bar, is
gittin' needed sleep;
fair spring has struck old Cactus town
We wanted her heap!

HOME GROWN IS
THE BEST VARIETY
O. D. Center Declares That
Corn Grown in Dakota
Gets Surest Results.

.. "'ftEf = - : r. = H ~NF"' ."
In discussing the varieties of seed
corn most used in. The 1912 corn yield
contest, o. D. Center, in charge of the
work in Grand Forks county, stated
that Northwestern Dent, Minnesota
No. 10. Minnesota No. %. Gehu Flint
and various varieties of early matur-
ing dent corn were the most generally
used. Northwestern Dent. which pro-
duced the highest yield of mature
corn, represented. 81 per CEN of the
corn that was planted. This variety
was grown in all parts of the state
and the percentage was practically the
same in both the northern and the
southern sections. The next most pop
ular variety was Minnesota No. 90.
with Nc. 10 as third in popularity.
Minnesota No. 13 is we'll suited to the
southeastern and eastern section Of
the state. where the growing period is
long enough to allow 1t to mature. In
comparing the three highest acre
yields of Minnesota No. IS and North
western Dent, it is found that a total
Of zoos and 2OO.88 bushels were pro-
duced respectively. Many varieties
other than those named of dent corn
and the the flints were grown. The
very popular. The yields of these,
however, We're lower than the dents.
The 1ints showed a very early ma
turity and gave surprisingly good
yields. averaging over SO bushels to
the acre. Flint corn is undoubtedly
very valuable for the northern and
western sections of the state. 1t will
mature and furnish a great deal of
seed. It should eventually be more
popular than the dents in those Sec
tons and If improved varieties carry
ing the ear higher on the stalk can be
secured, should supplant the dents.
The contest, said Mr.. Center, indi-
Gated without any question the value
Of home grown seed and its superiori-
ty as compared to seed which was
brought in from outside sources. Out
of the 26 winners in the various d.
vision of the contest, 70 percent of
them used home grown seed corr and
nearly all of the remainder used corn
grown in the vicinity Of their own
farms: APPARENTLY it was impossible to
produce a high yield Of matured corn
unless the seed had previously been
grown in that locality. A very large
percentage of the contestants who
failed to produce the good Yields IN
mature corr had made use of, foreign
seed. with the result that a large per.
centage of mature corn in the state is
dependent on home grown seed.

Murphy of Grand

Mayor NJ. F.. Murphy of Grand
Forks believes that the concrete pave
ment. without any patent finish. is the
proper material for uses in cities sit
uated as Grand Forks is. He express
eS that opinion in a letter to w. A.
Lanterman of Mandan. Who wrote re-
Gently asking for information on the
question.
The letter by Mayor Murphy fol-
lows:
II have given the question of paw
ing considerable thought. Grand Forks
in 1897 put down the old cedar block
pavement which was laid on a plank
base and which served us for about
ten years. Since that time there has
as l have a considerable mount of
property in the city even before ! was
elected mayor, three years ago, 1 be-
gun the study of the different pave
ments by inquiry and observation in
other cities in the United States. My
opinion is that there Is no pavement
that approaches perfection. There
are objections to all of the paNements
that I have seen and l have seen
practically all of the different kinds
used in the United States.
We have five different kinds here
In Grand Forks so that we have quite
a variety here at home and in addi-
ton to the five kinds of street paving.
we have in some of Ii alleys a O
crete pavement. SO that in reality we
have six kinds of pavement.
Compare Different Pavcments.
THE creosoted block is being put
down quite extensively in Chicago and
some other large cities and / think
mostly IN account of its being COM
paratively noiseless. About half the
paving here is creosoted block, some
of it has been down for four years.
We used a 3h inch block with what
is known as a 20-pound treatment;
that means 20 pounds of creosote to
the cubic foot. 1t is laid on a concrete
thickness of the paving. about 9H
inches. The creosoted block in a city
with traffic nc heavier than u 1 he
lieve will last thirty years. The only
trouble we have had with it is inside
the street car ack and there it is
a failure, as it seems to absorb some
moisture and to bulge up and loosen.
We have had a little bullying in one
or two spots outside of the street car
tracks. but they were not serious ana
the blocks settled back. The main OBJ
jections that l have to that paving are
that dust rolls on it. that it has a
dirty look to it under all conditions
and that it is the slipperiest pavement
and the hardest pavement on a horse
that I have ever seen, or that l know
anything about.
Concrete Stands the Test.
Our other pavings are 'Granitoid.
'Bitulithic.' 'Donnellite' and 'Concrete
Asphalt would say that all OF
these pavements belong to the same
family and I believe the last mention
ed one is fully the best of the lot. But
in my opinion, none of them are any
better than a straight concrete pave
ment, properly put down. And if you
put down any of those. YOU are OBJ
liged to pay anywhere from soc to 81
n yard royalty. Having gravel as con-
venient as you say it is there, YOU
ought to be able to put down a first
class pavement at about 81 a square
yard. and whatever pavement you pu,
