INVENTION TO
Be MADE HERE
FIRST OF THE NEW NORTH DA-
KoTA WITHNELL ENGINE PLoW
LIFT BEING CONSTRUCTED IN
FAReo-INVENTIoN OF YOUNG
MAN OF 19 YEARS. -'

James Withnell and son, Edward, of
Nortonville are here to superintend the
construction of their new invention,
which will be known as the engine
plow litter. 1t was invented by Eddie
w. Withnell, who Is only 19 years old,
and who has been working on the IN
vention for several months, as was
stated in The Forum few weeks ago.
The invention is designed to do away
with the work of one man and as II
was worked during the summer on
over 1000 acres of land in ploWing
and was found to be successful, the
father and son decided that the time
hid come when it should be manufact-
ured. The Fargo Foundry Co. has been
called on to make a complete machine
and this will be used by the inventor
and his father in the way of demon
strations.
we believe that we have a great
labor saving invention" said the elder
Withnell to The Forum this morning,
for we have thoroughly tried the ma
chine and found that it will do all and
more than we thought it would. l
cannot tell as yet what it will sell for,
because this will be the first machine
that we have had made and until 1t
is completed we will not know the cost
of the same. | hope in time to have a
factory in which to manufacture them,
for ] know the machine will prove to
be a good thing and will be of great
benefit to the farmers of the north
west"
Mr.. Withnell and the son will remain
in the city until the machine is com
pIeted by the foundry company.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Justifying
his action with a statement that he
wished to give wide publicity to the
connection of the Standard Oil COM
pany with the members of congress and
expose their secret transactions Char
les Blumeling of New York today be-
fore the Clapp campaign investigating
committee told the story Of the dis
posing of the Archbold correspondence
to the Hearst newspapers.
Mr.. Blumeling said that when he
came into possession OF the letters he
realized their significance and took
them to what he considered the only
independent newspaper in New York.
Blumeling is a brother-in-law of the
Stumpf brothers, one of whom was en-
ployed as a clerk in Archbold's office
He said the letters were brought to
him by Charles Stumpf and w. w.
Winfield and that he negotiated the
sale receiving between $4,000 and So
600. The money was equally divided
between Stumpf, Winfield and himself
and Blumeling said he never had any
pangs of conscience.

That the Richmond Civic Union

After the meeting the Rev. Hay
worth in comforting with some of the
members of the association, said he
believed it would be no more than
right that the association go on rec
ord as being in favor of free Sunday
concerts in this city.
"The working people who have to
labor all day, every day in the week,
are deserving of some recreation on
Sundays" said the Rev. Hayworth.
The parks of the city afford some
amusement in the summer to those
who are able to visit them on Sun
