BLOCK SYSTEM
IN OPERATION
GREAT NORTHERN NOW RUN
MING TRAINS BY BLOCK
SYSTEM

A part of the block signal system
being installed between Williston and
Minot has been put into operation,
and trains are now being run under
the new arrangement. The part put
into operation is from Stanley to Mi
not, anil railway men state that the
entire system from Williston to Mi
not will be in operation within few
weeks.
The electric block system from
Stanley to Minot has been completed
for several days, but was not put into
actual operation until twelve o'clock
last night. This new system is one
of the most up-to-date methods so
far devised for the operation Of trains,
and is calculated to reduce almost to
a minimum the danger of head-on or
rear end collisions. AS each train
passes the signals are automatically
set from station to station, and as
a train pulls out from station the
block back of it to the next station is
indicated as clear, and the block
ahead is set against trains coming in
the opposite direction.

ALARMED OVER
FEDERAL LAW
HUNTERS ABOUTCOUNTRY WOR.
RYING AS TO THE RECENT
FEDERAL LAW

Some of the hunters are consider
ably exercised over the report that ac-
cording to the federal law, September
2Sth was the last Sunday that hunt
ers would be allowed to shoot migra-
tory birds.
Such a law has been enacted by Con-
gress, but according to E. B. Nc
Cutcheon, chief game warden for this
district, the law will not be enforced
this year. The state game wardens
have no authority to make arrests for
such an offense, as this lies outside OF
their powers. 1t is up to the federal
game wardens and as yet the govern
ment has provided for no such Off
cials.
Next year when the federal depart
ment is organized, it is possible that
the law will be enforced. Mr.. McCut-
cheon questions, however, whether it
will ever be enforced in North OAK
ota. The object of the law is to pro-
tect geese and certain other migra-
tory birds, and is aimed at the hunters
in the gulf country.

MINNESOTA ATTORNEY GEN.
ERAL RENDERS OPINION IN
TERESTING TO SHIPPERS

St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 15.-Attorney
General Lyndon A. Smith, in a deci-
sion that will be Of interest to every
grain shipper in the northwest and to
elevator men and chamber Of COM
merce members generally, today de-
cided that the sale Of grain, by a re-
ceiver, to a Subsidiary company,
with consent of the shipper, is not in
itself violation of law. This was a
basic question about which there was
a sharp controversy in the notable in
vestigation of the Minneapolis Cham
Der of Commerce by the state legisla-
ture at the last session.
"If a commission merchant, without
consignee's consent, should make a
sale of consigned grain to firm or
corporation in which he is interested:
it would be contrary to law and good
MORALS" the opinion says, "but if
made with the previous consent of
the consignor question of fact may
arise as to whether such consent is so
given as to free the transaction Of the
presumed illegality."
The Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce has rule prohibiting sales of
the nature involved in the question.

DUNBARS GREAT
ENTERTAINERS
DELIGHTED LARGE AUDIENCE
LAST SATURDAY NIGHT-FEW
SUCH ON ROAD

Last Saturday night at the Gates
Hall, the Dunbar Quartette of Bell
Ringers and musicians, appeared as
the first number on the Commercial
Club Lyceum course. There was a
good crowd out (when they all got
there) for the first number.
To say that the Dunbars were good
would be to put it mildly. They were
excellent, and far above what had
been promised, and even beyond the
expectations of those in charge of the
course. They have set pace which
will be hard to reach, let alone sur
pass, in the succeeding numbers. The
musical selections rendered on the
bells and stringed instruments were
high class. 3.
More beautiful tones, or delightful
harmony, could not be wished for than
that produced by the Dunbars in their
bell ringing numbers. Selections
were rendered from some of the pop
ular operas, and popular songs, but
perhaps best appreciated of all was
the new life put into some of the old
familiar selections given.
The comedy part of the entertain
ment was of the highest order, and
kept the house roaring with laughter
and applause. We enjoyed the COM
edy immensely but when the trio gave
the imitation of the country orchestra
they got our "Capra Aegarus," or in
other words, goat" and the lid was
off. There were others, too, who
laughed right out loud, and then
some, because they could not help it,
and for our part--we would not have
missed such a grand opportunity to
laugh had we frozen stiff. Come
again Dunbars.

FOSS-REEP
RANCH SOLD
WELL-IMPROVED HALF SECTION
SOLD TO PROSPEROUS FAR
MER FROM ANETA

The Foss-Reep ranch, formerly the
Engles ranch, half section of the
best improved land in northern Will
liams county, was sold last week to S.
O. Bibler, farmer from Aneta, this
state.
Mr.. Bibler is a man who believes in
diversified farming and plans on going
into it on a large scale on his new
place. He has fourteen head of horses,
a dozen milk cows, a drove of hogs
and other live stock which he will ship
to this county in a couple of weeks.
Mr.. Bibler is the kind of farmer that
helps build up the country and his ad-
vent in northern Williams county will
be welcomed.
The ranch which changed hands
lies six miles south Of Cottonwood
Lake. The greater part of it is under
cultivation, there is a large house and
barn, corrals, GAO acre pasture ad-
joining and creek of water running
near the barn and through the pas
ture. For diversified farming this
place cannot be beat in the county.

LOCAL FANS
ARE SATISFIED
SOME OF THEM OF COURSE
OTHERS DISAPPOINTED AT
OUTCOME OF BALL GAMES

Local baseball fans had their curl
osity as to who would win the worlds
series this year amply satisfied last
Saturday afternoon when the final re-
turns were received on the fifth game
of the series showing Philadelphia
winner over New York by a score of
3 to /. This made four wine for the
Athletics to one for the Giants, and
carried with it the worlds champion
ship at baseball, as it was necessary
under the arrangement for one of the
teams to win four games out of seven
Few times in the history of this event
has a defeat been so decisive. Here
is what one of the greatest baseball
writer's and students Of the game in
the country has to say about the series
Played
~s@,r IS it was played, the Giants had
not, chance. They were beaten
straightway and after that the Ath-
letics played jocosely with them. How
many runs the Athletics might have
made had they been fighting instead
Of toying one cannot conjecture, but
they knew they had enough and play
ed it out on that string.
"In close analysis there was little to
choose between the team play save
that McGraw's hit and run seems
amateurish, and Mack's run and hit
looks great.
"It was a victory won on class and
powerful hitting. 1t is the first time
I ever have seen an American league
team play natural easy baseball
against National league club.
"The results show that the vaunted
superiority of the Giants in pitching
is joke. There never was any doubt
that the Athletics were better hitters,
and only a question mark and a press
agent to back their claims to superior
fielding. Mack used his least known
recruit pitcher because he seemed to be
convinced that the Giants cannot do
anything save shadow box against
speed.
"Another remarkable thing is that
Philadelphia used but three pitchers
in winning a worlds championship:

ALFALFA KING
COMING HERE
L, D. O'DONNELL PERSONAL REP.
RESENTATIVE OF DEPT. OF
INTERIOR TO BE HERE

Hon. I. D. O'Donnell, of Billings,
Mont, widely known about the coun-
try as an expert on, and grower OF
alfalfa, and personal representative
of Secretary of the Interior, Lane,
will be here next week to go over the
local reclamation project and take
up matters of interest to farmers and
parties owning land under the pro-
ject.
Mr.. O'Donnell is one of the largest
growers of alfalfa in the country, and
has big tracts of land under the gov
eminent projects in Montana. He
has been very active in working out
plans of operation for some OF the
farmers under the Montana projects.
Next year Mr.. O'Donnell plans to visit
this project several times during the
summer and help these who have land
under the ditch in any manner that
may seem most practical toward their
ultimate success.

RECLAMATION
OFFICIALS
VISITED WILLISTON-DlRE
NEWELL AND OTHERS in
THE PARTY

Director F. H. Newell, of the U. S..
Reclamation Service, H. N. Savage,
Supervising Engineer of Projects, of
Great Falls, and George O. Sanford,
Operating inspector, composed a
party of U. S. Reclamation officials
who visited Williston during the past
week. They arrived here early Sun
dav morning from points in Montana
and left Monday morning, going west
Director Newell had been in Montana
looking over a number of the projects,
and chose the opportunity to spend
short while here looking over the
Williston project.
The officials were met by number
of officers of the Williston Water
Users Association, and other citizens,
and in company with project engin-
eer, w. S. Arthur, paid a visit to the
pumping plant and to some or the
farms under the ditch. Director
Newell had not been on the Wlillston
project for three years, and it is un-
derstood that the visit here was made
with view of seeing how things are
going, and to form some idea as to
the terms to be made for another year,
as the three year agreement expires
this coming spring.
Little was given out regarding the
proposed terms for operation OF the
plant here in the future. However,
it is understood, that the terms to be
made will be most favorable to the
land owners who are trying to oper-
ate and improve their lands, and not
at all favorable to these who may
have land under the project for specu-
lative purposes.

DUG HIS WAY
TO FREEDOM
MAN CONFINED IN JAIL HERE
DUG THROUGH WALL AND
HAS NOT BEEN HEARD OF

Peter Kiser, confined in the local
iail and awaiting to be taken to Bis
marck to serve one year on charge
of forgery, dug his way through ce-
ment and plaster to freedom last Sat
urday night and all efforts on the part
of the sheriff and his deputies to To-
cate the fugative have proved fruit
less.
Kiser is the young man who passed
a number of bad checks here few
weeks ago, and also some at Fairview,
and who was captured on board a
train as it passed through Stanley.
About a week previous to his escape
he had been sentenced by Judge Fisk
to one year in prison. Owing to the
fact that the sheriff and his deputies
had been very busy he had not been
taken away, but would have been
taken to Bismarck the first Of this
week. He made his escape from the
corridor of the Jail by digging hole
through the brick wall and dropping
to the ground from the second story
by the aid Of blanket, fastened to
the inside. He dug out the cement
and plastering which had been put
in the hole made about a year ago,
when other men escaped by this
method. Kiser evidently had quite a
fall in his escape, as the sharp edge
of the wall had cut the blanket under
his weight, and he must have fallen
about twelve feet.
Saturday evening Kiser and a man
by the name of Oliver, in on charge
of robbing a man in the alley back of
Harstein's store some time ago, were
allowed the freedom of the corridors:
Sheriff Erickson was out of town, and
one of the deputies had just left the
office in the court house. Shortly after
8 o'clock it was discovered that Kiser
had made his escape, and a search
about town was at once started, but ne
evidently got out of the city rapidly.
Oliver did not make an attempt to
get away, due to the fact no doubt
that he did not have time. Kiser
used a piece of an old file obtained in
some manner in loosening the brick
and cement which had been filled into
the hole made year ago.

SEVEN PRISONERS BROKE JAIL
CUT HOLE IN ROOF AND
MADE ESCAPE

Plentywood, Mont, Oct. 15.-sun-
day evening about seven o'clock there
was something stirring at the County
Jail when it was reported that seven
prisoners had escaped. An immediate
search was made and two Of the es.
capped convicts were caught on the roof
of the jail ,
The sheriff and a score of special
deputies started out after the jail
breakers in about an hour after the
delivery, but no clue or trace has
been found.

ROBBED PEDDLER'S PACK

Sheriff Erickson was down in the
country around Grinnell last week
looking for parties who robbed an
Asyrian peddler. He did not find any
clue to the robbery.
It seems that the man who was
robbed had been selling in that terri
tory and when he camped at night
some parties rifed his packs and got
away with a number of articles OF
value, including several coats, other
wearing apparel and some jewelry.
The robbers seemed to disappear like
thin air, and not the least trace OF the
stolen goods or robbers is so far OBJ
tainable.
