Our Ignorance of Latin America.

Edit0r Of The Nirginlan:
Sir,-Today the writer has read a most IN
terestng and instructive communication pub
lished in your estmahle paper under the uue
f'Our Ignorance as to Latin America. This ar
ticle was prepared by Mr. Edward Albes. 1t Is
quite a pertinent query-How many OF us Know
barely anything about all these matters 90 near
us on the same continent? So much is here
disclosed to US, embracing geography history.

are really startled with the magnitude of the
subject as q whole and timely proposition When
the writer had read the communication and
thought 1t over he said to himself perhaps in a
suggestive spirit: How would 1t do for the prin-
cpal Of a public school have the teachers read
the well prepared paper a specially or as
a digression from routine work. This departure
from regular duties etc, might accentuate the
matter and help impress the larger children
with the importance Of such necessary and use

Unworked Mines

In his Applied Sociology, Professor Ward de-
cIares that society possesses 'unworked mines

resources" he says, have been developed. An
other 10 per cent somewhat developed.

wholly undeveloped"
This may be an extravagant estimate. Yet

UPSET FUNERAL

Grand Forks, N. D., ts.ug.s l8.-
Adolph Weise of Chicago, supposedly
killed by the Great Northern Oriental
Limited at lI4arimOre Thursday even
ing, is very much alive. He says so
himself.
Reading accounts in the newspa-
pers of his own death at LarimOre,
he appeared in that city and identified
the man who was really killed as
Wilhelm Lupky, his companion till
three or four days ago, when they
separated at Fargo.
Weise also FASTENED to telegraph
relatives in Chicago, who had previ-
ously been notified Of his death, that
he was living and that it was a case
of mistaken identity.
Two sisters, Mrs. William STAN
bert, 1907 Galger street, and Mrs.
Pauline A. Gildner, bOtn of Winnipeg,
were today notified of Lupky's death,
Weise giving information which led
to the establishment Of the family
connections.
Weise declared that he had pre-
scented Lupky with his card at Fargo
just before they separated, and it was
this card that officials used in estab-
fishing the victims identity.
The officials received advices from
Chicago asking that the body be held
pending further advice. This request
was being obeyed when Weise ap-
peared on the scene to upset plans
for his own funeral.

BLOCK system

Willston, N. D., Aug. 13.-The Great
Northern railway is installing an elec.
trio block system between here and
Minot, and the official expect to have
it in operation within a few weeks,
Much OF the work has already been
done and many excavations have been
made for the big cement battery
wells every few miles.
These big cement wells are shaped
like a fruit jar and are about ten
feet high by six or eight feet in
diameter. Railway men say the road
between here and Minot is the most
dangerous of any stretch on the whole
system, owing to the grades and
curves and that this new block sys.
ten will greatly facilitate the run
ming of trains.
The system being installed between
Williston and Minot will cost $500, 900
and when the men have finished the
work they will go to the state of
Washington where they will con-
struct another 100 miles OF the same
kind Of a system. 9G

their journey to eating a pet dog. the
only animal left.
After landing from their ship on
July "a, 1912, the first mishap en-.
countered was the loss of a number
