CHILDREN drown
IN rain BARREL

Marmarth, N. D., Sept. 25.-One Of
the most terrible tragedies ever oc-
curing In this vicinity occurred at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Vernan
Ostrander when their two
children, little girls aged 2 and a
years were both drowned in one water
barrel.
The father was blowing in the fields
on his farm and the mother had gone
20 dig potatoes for the evening meal.

than any other day when she did
the same thing. Upon her, return

as they had always been cautioned
not to go there and had never done
SO previous to this time.

Doth little bodies in the barrel Of

with grief upon her discovery. The
father hearing the mothers cries of
grief came from, the fields n took
the lifeless little bodies out Of the
barrel; but too late for resuscitation.
Whlie the mother was at her task of
digging the potatoes for supper the
little, ones had pulled an old hand
sled up to the barrel and placed a
box on top Of the sled, on which
they had evidently been standing and
gazing into the water. It is quite
probable that the little one became
overbalanced and fell into the barrel,
and the other one had attempted to
rescue her with the result she also
fell in and both were drowned. |",,

WASRBURN GREAT
WHEAT TERMINAL

Washburn, N. D., Sept. 25.-Wasll-
burn has become a great wheat Ship
ping point as a result of the activity
of the steamboats, on the river here.
There are four river boats hauling
grain here from up river points. In
addition to bringing all the boats will
hold they frequently have attached
two or three barges filled with gram.
Of the boats has already made
tf.rty-fiVe trips and the other three
nearly as many. This keeps a con-
stream of wheat pouring into
this harbor and up river points are
hoping for a long open season so the
grain can be shipped out this fall.
Threshing is being completed all along
the river and many machines have
already pulled in. On the UP river
trips the boats take lumber and sup
plies from the local docks and in that
manner are kept busy all h
time.

GRAIN DOCKAGE
CAUSES TROUBLE
@~ "S -

Fossenden, N. D.. Sept. 25.-There
has been NOR trouble this year be-
tween the farmers and the elevator
men than ever before over the dock
age OF grain. Elevator men insist
there have been more noxious weeds in
| the wheat than for many years. The
farmers admit there is some truth to
the statements but resist the extra
/! dockage.
The chief cause of the trouble ap-
pears to have been the drouth in
June. After the wheat had a fair
start there was a stretch of cold dry
weather in June during which the
progress of the grain was extremely
slow. This afforded an opportunity
for the weeds, being the harder
plant, to forge ahead and in many
instances the wheat never did catch
up. AS a result a lot Of weed seed
was matured and harvested with the
grain.
Many Of the more en~terprisine
farmers who have their own granary
room are overcoming the difficulty BY
running their grain through machines
to remove the weed seed, but farmers
without granaries who are compelled
to haul direct to elevators from the
~separators have no opportunity to do
this.
The complaint is general over the
state. In addition to weed seed there
was more wild oats and pigeon grass
that matured with the grain this year
than ever before in the history Of the
state. Many farms that had been well
cleaned of other varieties Of weeds
this year seem worse infested with
wild oats than lands that had received
less care in former years. Grain COM

USE sheep TO
ERADICATE WEEDS

Upham, N. D.. Sept. 25.-Residents
of this place have gone to Montana to
secure sheep for farms In this vicinf-
ty. Some will be used for fattening
purposes and will later be sem to the
markets In either st. Paul or Chicago,
but some will be retained for a better
purpose. One farmer, who is making
an effort to eradicate the weeds on
land he recently purchased,
to enlist the services of the sheep for
that purpose.
He is fencing in the land and will
pasture it next year, after which he
expects to grow twenty to twenty-five
bushels Of wheat per acre instead of
ten to fifteen, and OF a much better
rade. Should his plan prove a sue
cess it will be an incentive to farmers
of this part of the state to invest in
sheep, at least until the farm lands
are cleared Of noxious weeds and
Russian thistle.
