nited. The powder being but loosely
confined, the force of the explosion was
not great but the burst Of flames en-
Veloped the youth instantly. ignited
his clothing and soaring his face. The
smoke and fumes filed the tunnel and
were binding and s~uffocating. The
victim OF the accident and the other
miners rushed for the mouth Of the

was each instant taking him nearer to
death.

IMPROVED FARM
FOR HOMESTEAD

AEHEE.MHa
Bowbells. IN. ID, Jan. 20.-Dick King.
during the past summe nj OF the
employees of Fred Dilworth OF this
city, is one OF the Iuckfest men in
Burke county. On Saturday last he
filed on the John Skinner farm eight
miles northeast of town, the rights
OF Mr., Skinner to the place having
been forfeited to the government for
some reason or other and his home
stead entry and patent cancelled
The first known here that the
patent Of Mr.. Skinner had been cam
celled was on Tuesday of last week
when the II. s.. Iandofice at Minot
filed a cancellation with the register
of deeds OF Burke county. 1t did not
occur to the people here just what
had been done until several days
later, and Mr.. King was among the
hrst to realize what a splendid oppor-
tunity he had of acquiring title to one
Of the best quarter sections in this
part OF the state.
On Friday night Mr.. King in COM
pany with Fred Dilworth iourneyed
to Minot and reached that place al
3 o'clock the next morning. They im-
mediately repaired to the u. S. land-
office and after finding a comfortable
place under the registers window sat
down and waited until the said win

at 8 o'clock when Mr.. King placed
his filing.
He had no sooner received his filing
receipt when VIM. O'Donnel, also
near this city, appeared and also
made application to file on the same
quarter. He was told that King had
just made a fling, but this did not
satisfy him, and he placed a second
fling on the place. However. ais
King had made the first fling, he had
the first right to the farm. Both Mr..
King and Mr.. DilWorth returned 10
Bowbelis Saturday afternoon feeling
very jubilant over their success.
The skinner farm contains 100
acres AND was originally filed on BY
Mr.. Skinner in 1902 and was proved
up on several years ago, and a patent
had been issued. Nothing wrong was
suspected until the order for cancelIa-
tom came. One hundred acres are
broken on the place while the rest
is in pasture. Al residence valued at
about $1,000 was built several years
ago.

Charley Lucca Thinks Mighty Well OF
Fargo and Moorhead AS sport
Towns.

Charley Lucca, the clever little
lightweight boxer of Chicago, thinks
mighty well of Fargo and Moorhead as
sport towns, and he may locate here.
He realizes that there lis no light
weight in this section and that is why
he is thinking seriously of pitching his
tent in his section, and il he does he
will be willing to meet all Corners at
135 or under. or even 1873 pound men.
He has an offer to box Pat Drouil-
lard of Windsor, Canada, at Grand
Rapids, Mich, in the near future, and
he has likewise received an offer to
meet frankie Russell, a topnotcher In
the lightweight class at New Orleans.
In this latter offer he is expected to
make 1873 pounds at the ringside,
while he will tackle Russell at CATCH
weights, but he won't accept the lat
ter unless the Weighing in takes place
at 3 in the afternoon. He hasn't lost
a decision and doesn't want to run any
chances. That he is a good one is
evinced by the offers OF matches that
are being made to him.

FAST GAME Won
BY UNIVERSITY

Grand Forks Herald: In a fast and
interesting game of basketball the
University of North Dakota team de-
feated the Fargo college squad in the
university gymnasium last evening by
a score of 20 to 10. The varsity men
started the game with a rush and
maintained a gooG lead throughout the
game, although the Fargo quint kept
them on the jump all the time. Robin
son secured the first basket for the u.
and this gave his teammates encour-
agement, and they worked hard dur
ing the entire contest. Sagen at for
ward negotiated four baskets and he
played a star game all through Sad
at the other forward and Robinson and
Wilcox at the guard positions, also
played stellar ball. Hiesing at center
| worked like a veteran at that position,
taking the ball from his opponent
nearly every time on the toss, u he
had poor luck in his basket-shooting.
For the visitors Harrington was the
star performer, and he kept his man
always on thesl lookout. He is a marvel
at dribbling the ball, cut the rest OF
the members Of the Fargo squad were
not able to keep up his pace. At the
end OF the first half the score was ~

work and succeeded in adding eight
points more.

A Good Suggestion

Il has been proposed that upon the
completion o; the Panama canal. the
heavy machinery and equipment used
in the construction OF the canal be
gwen TO the western states which have
large irrigation projects under way or
about 70 be undertaken. The pro-
posal originated with the associated
commercial organizations of the in
termountzin and Pacific coast states.
The disposition OF the machinery is a
question which the federal authorities
have long pondered- At public sale
the equipment would bring only a
fraction OF its cost On the other
hand the government is engaged in
the construction OF reclamation pro-
jects in the west 1t could use large
portion of the machinery to good ad-
vantage In other states the govern
ment will soon engage in the recla-
nation OF land by drainage. Already
If has been proposed that the gov
eminent take steps Immediately to
prevent recurrance of the floods in
the eastern states. With so many en-
terprises under way and so many that
are soon to be undertaken it is un-
likely that the government will either
sell its equipment or leave it to rust
and rot away at Panama The sug-
gestion that it be used in the western
reclamation states is a most feasible
and sensible one.
The government has spent millions
of dollars on reclamation. Senator
Borah and Congressman Smith are
now asking for an additional loan of
100000 to the reclamation fund.
The projects under way in Idaho and
other western states will soon need
more money if they are to be hasten
ed to completion In view of these
facts it would be wanton waste for
the government to sacrifice useful
machinery and equipment
