Utilization Oh Flax Straw
A Most Important Project
Movement With That Object in View, When Successful.
Means Much to North Dakota-Expert Says Pa
per Pulp can be Made From it Successfully.

One of the most important develop
nent projects now under way in
North Dakota is the utilization of flax
straw in the making of paper pulp to
be used in the manufacture Of high
grade linen and bond papers. At the
last bi-weekly dinner Of the CONNER
cial club. Attorney $. McCanna told
which he is interested. This concern
is using the old mill at McCanna. this
county, and has been successful in
producing a pulp that finds Il ready
market. Last fall an agent OF the L.
s. government purchased a carload Of
flax straw which was shipped to the
Cumberland mills in Maine for eA-
detrimental purposes. The problem is
simply one of securing a chemical
mercial purposes that is marketable
and that utilizcs a sufficient percent
age OF the raw straw. That such Il
chemical process has been discovered
seems to be unnuestioned.
The utilization of II raw waste
material for manufacturing purposes
is very important. This is particularly
true Of flax straw for here is Il raw
material which North Dakota pro-
"a this state is yet centcred largely in
this particular section Of the north
west. The supply is certain. for ap-
proXimately Il million acres and more
of flax is raised in the state every year.
There seems to be no caso why this
acreage should decrease. Various fax
diseases have been successfully COM
bated and the market price Of tho
grain remains high enough to war.
ant the North Dakota farmer in rails
ing a generous acreage. Moreover the
fact that the straw will be saleable
will have q tendency to increase flax
production.

Owner Lennon Of the association team
In that city. Tho Pioneer Press says:
president George T.. Lennon Of the
Viewed last night in regard to the
Central-lnternational organization In
vading st. Paul and Minneapolis this
summer, said lie was perfectly willing
to have the league break into the
Twin City. MIR. Cantfllon OF the Min
neapolis club and myself have been
in favor Of letting down the bars to
said Mr.. Lennon. but there has de-
veIoped opposition to this at preced-
ing sessions Of the American associa-
ton magnates.
Now. II the officials of the Cen.
tral-International league are sincere
in their plans to include the Twin
City in their circuit. I am more than
their proposition. If satisfactory
terms are arranged, they can use Lex

CantillOn's Ideas.
The Minneapolis Journal states
President Cantillon's views in the fol.
lowing:

to Minneapolis yesterday and brings
word that he has arranged to allow
the Central international league to in
wade Minneapolis under certain on
ditions not ready to be made public.
This means that If the Central In
ternational officials meet certain de-
mands of the association the league
next year will probably be made up Of
Duluth. Superior. Grand Forks, Win
nipcg, Minneapolis and ST. Paul. 1t
is also regarded as highly probable
that the resounding title Of Central
International will be dropped and the
name Northern league or Northehl
association adopted.
"The idea is to have the new league
schedule arranged on a non-confict-
ing basis with the association, giving
Minneapolis and st. Paul continuous
baseball. Tho northern towns have
long been anxious to try the eXperi-
ment and it GEMS probable nov that
their wish will be gratihed. President
Cantillon feels that Minneapolis is
now big enough for continuous base
ball. and while the new league can
no hope to play the grade Of game
furnished by the association. the even
matching of teams is expected to
make the games interesting. Details
| of the matter will be arranged at a
meeting to be held in Minneapolis IN
a few days"

War Department May not Approve OF
"Auto Hike" for Regiment.
Washington, Jan. 20.-Colonel e. p.
Glenn, Twenty-third infantry, station
ed at Fort BENJAMIN Harrison. Ind.
has completed plans to axe his regi-
ment on all automobile hike" to the
Pacific a and back. and. while the
war department entertains favorable
views on the general subjects. this par
ticular project probably will not 60
through as 1t would require the ac-
quisition OF a large number Of trucks.
Colonel Glenn's plan contemplates the
employment of not less than 40 mo-
tor trucks.
He estimates that the regiment
could proceed sixty miles a day as
compared with fifteen miles q day,
the average for infantry on foot and
with twenty-five miles a day, the av-
erage for cavalry. Each car could
carry eighteen men with baggage and
equipment. Other Jars would carry
supplies: He points out that ii army
posts were equipped with motor
trucks a regiment could be made
ready to move within all hour. where.
as there frequently Is long delay when
a regiment is TO be moved by rail.
Should the war department ap-
prove Colonel Glenn's plan, congress
would have to appropriate $3.50, 900
for the project.

Fargo. N. D.. Jan. oo.-susman CO.

He then put up a bond guaranteeing
to make the transfer at a later date,
but failed to perform.
Cohen then brought suit on the
bond. and Judge Amidon directed a
verdict today for him.

YOUNG MEN BELIEVED TO BE
ROBERT FLETCHER AND
RALPH HARTHOUSE CAPTUR-
ED AT MEADOW, S. D.-BROKE
JAIL BUT RECAPTURED.

The Buick car stolen from City AS
SCISSOR H. E. Wheeler a week ago Sun
day was located near Lennon, S. D.,
just week after it was stolen and
two young men, believed to be Robert
Fletcher and Ralph Harthouse, were
arrested charged with stealing the
machine. They were taken to the
county Jail at Bison, S. D., where they
later made their escape by breaking
out thru the bars Of the jail
The sheriff captured the young men
within two days after they escaped
from the Jail and placed them safely
behind the bars, using extra precau-
tons that they might not again get
away.
The boys were first caught as they
were driving into the little town of
Meadow, S. D., not far from Lennon.
They had avoided all of the larger cit
les enroute to that place and the fact
that Perkins county, where they were
landed, is without a railroad, shows
that they intended to keep away from
civilization as much as possible. Per-
kins county was formed from part
Of the old Standing Rock Indian res
ervation.
After their capture one of the
young men admitted that he was Flet-
cher, the young man who was engi-
neer at the -go-round here, and
who was chummy with young Hart
house. The other one would not di-
vulge his name, but. his description
tailed with that of the Harthouse boy

LOCATED KELLEY
ENROUTE HOME

Sheriff Kelley started for Bison
Monday morning. He went to Bis
marck on the "dinkey," thence to
Mott where he secured an auto and
drove fifty miles across country. BY
the time that he arrived the sheriff
had re-arrested the youths.
1t is believed that Kelley and the
two young fellows are on their way
back in the stolen Buick. They can
make the journey nearly as rapidly in
this way as they can by rail.
The following telegram was receiv-

After the Wheeler auto had been
stolen, cards were sent to the sherjffs
of all the counties in the surrounding
states and the capture of the thieves
was but matter of time.
When the young men were first i'm
prisoned their money was taken from
them and they had to shift for them
