A symposium of short punchful
speeches. with the fuss and feathers
of oratory eliminated, was the crys-
taIlyzing factor in the plans of the
Phoenix board Of trade for its 1913
membership campaign which starts
this morning at 10 o'clock. The com
mittcc of one hundred in the most
successful get together meeting ever
held in Phoenix last night brought out
the frankest set Of opinions and the
most effective set Of plans the board
has ever managed to collect
Why the board should get its
thousand members was admitted
ana not discussed How it should
get them formed the basis OF the
speeches When the campaign should
start was determined by the con
Guiding vote Of the session on the
question, Resolved that it is the
sense Of this meeting that every man
here shalt promise to devote his
time to the campaign whenever it
is demanded. no matter what else
he may have on hand.
The plan fest started out with a
short talk by Chairman bennett Of
the committee of the hundred. He
said he would call on those present
for the use of their brains. as Il hum
dred brains ought to be better than
a dozen. and he proceeded to address
| this question to each man in turn
| Mr.. So-and- So. what can you tell
us about getting our thousand mem

FIRST FIRE AT PE1TlBONE.
Several Buildings Burned. Origin
of Fire Mystery.

Sunday morning last between
and o'clck fire broke out in the
vacant store room near the pool hall
building owned by Charles Ander-
son. The pool hall was burned, also
the restaurant and machine shed,
the latter owned by Mr.. Hennis. The
loss is estimated at $4,000.
How the fire became started is not
known, some contending it was in
the vacant store room and others
that it started in the pool room. The
fire lasted about forty minutes and
did a great deal of damage in a
short time. The buildings were
frame structures, and there was no
adequate fire protection. The own
ers expect to rebuild the coming
spring with cement blocks.

A septic tank, inexpensive and of
ample size can be built on every
farm to take care of the house
sewage. Many doctors bills would
be saved if this sanitary improve
ment on farms were put in. The
septic tank consists of an air tight,
light proof box large enough to hold
all sewage for a period of 48 hours.
The filter bed was nine feet below
the surface in the plant described,
and it has been in successful opera
tion for three years past.
A large poultry show is also given
in the city in connection with the
Grain Growers meeting, and numer-
GUS prizes are offered for poultry of
all varieties.
In connection with the Grain
Growers convention, the North Da-
kota Corn Show opened with Prof.
Randlett in charge. Improved seed
for corn growing is the principal
feature of the exhibit. There are
entries from all over the state. Two
acres of corn grown by Max Wal
dron, son of Prof. Waldron, brought
$3.50 for seed purposes. There are
many exhibits from manufacturers
on the floor of the corn show.
There is a good attendance at the
kennel show, and some of the finest
dog specimens in the northwest are
on exhibition.

HALF. BREED PRISONER
A GAME FIGHTER
Desperate Effort to Escape Being
Taken to Pen.

Bismarck. Jan.21.-Jack Dultone,
one of the prisoners brought to the
penitentiary Friday night by Sheriff
Nichols Of Billings county, was one
of the most desperate criminals the
officer ever had to contend with.
In taking the prisoner from his
cell to be sentenced by the court it
was necessary to manacle him hand
and foot, and even then, according
to the sheriff, he fought like a de-
mon, biting and scratching at every
one who came near him. He refus-
ed to walk to the court room, and
was finally dragged from the jail to
the court house and across the room
and up before the judge. After try
ing for some time to induce him to
sit in a chair until sentence was
passed, but without success, the Off
Ger, with some assistance, fastened
him to one.
Several men assisted the sheriff
10 hold the prisoner while sentence
was pronounced upon him, after
which the sheriff dragged him back
to his cell and left him. handcuffed.
Some time later the sheriff went
back and discovered that S4e demon
in human form had broken the irons
and twisted the chains apart. 1t
was then q difficult task to manacle
him again; in fact the officer had
to wrestle with him again until the
prisoner was completely exhausted
before he could subdue him.
When the sheriff and two guards
were making preparations to take
Daultcne from the jail to the train
in order to take hirn 20 Bismarck
they worked with him for about an
hour ana = half before they succeed
ed in getting him. to the depot.

chine. The plant is not large, but
it is sufficiently extensive to prove
or disprove the claims of the in
ventor.
George 1. Leonard, mining en-
gineer and oil expert of South Pasa-
dena. who is aiding Cutler in his
work, says that a tank: of high
:prodact lof gasolene placed in an Of
hce building would do the work of a
gas engine in supplying power. The
lighting would be done best by means
of a modified sort of Welsbach bur-
ner. The gas could be used in a
cooking stove or crate, of course.
Storage tanks would do the cooling
desired. He says that in riviting tools
the portable power would be espec-
tally valuable.
Stevens says that the average oil
we'll is a small producer of from
twelve to twenty-four barrels, as in
the Whittier district, for example,
and he estimates that the amount of
gas escaping from these small wells
is worth about forty per cent of the
value of the oil obtained. Large
wells flowing strongly furnish less
gas proportionately than small ones.
He thinks all the gas can be saved
by the new refrigerating process.
s.. Cutler is an old scientist. He is
fond of {warking in his gardsn: has
taught his pet rooster how to crow
when spoken to; has seedless rasp-
berries and blackberries and grapes
from Algiers in flourishing condition.
He has not college education, al
though he would like one, but he
reads deeply and persistently, and
his questions fall on the ear as fast
as the hoofs of horse at sharp
trot. He is married and has pret-
ty home and five-acre tract at Saw
telle. He helped lay out the town
site years ago.
