U. S. Dairy Expert
IS Sent to n. D.
TO ASSIST STATE DAIRY De
PARTMENT IN THE EREC.
TON OF SiLOS.

Bismarck, Aug. 5.-James M. Sher-
man, federal dairy expert, mas been
detailed to assist the state dairy de.
partment in the erection of silos for
two months. Mr.. Sherman reported
for duty August l.. and will be prop
erly initiated to North Dakota con-
ditions by Robert C. Jackson, fed
eral dairyman, cooperating in Walsh
and Pembina counties.
Commissioner Flint is greatly
pleased to receive this assistance, as
it is an acknowledgement from fed
eral authorities of the practicability
of the silo aid policy of the state de-.
partment, even though some of the
members of the state legislature con-
slider the demand for assistance
along this line was purely scheme
to provide positions for politicians. !"
In Barnes county alone there have
been erected this season eight silos
under the supervision of the state
dairymen, and several others are
either under construction, or will be
in time to be filed this year.
A 1O0-ton silo was erected on the
farm of Governor Hanna, near Cour-
tenay, and assistance is also to be
given on one of similar capacity at
the agricultural college. One of con-
siderably larger proportions has been
erected by the landlord of the Ru-
dolf hotel, near Valley City, and
Landlord Patterson of the Mckenzie
at Bismarck, will begin shortly.
The practicability of the manotith-
ic concrete silo instructions given by
the state and federal dairymen is
best understood by those who have
been assisted.
In a number of instances those
who erected silos last year have eth.
er built additional silos on their
farms this season or their forms have
been used by their neighbors SO that
the aid given has been greatly ex-
tended.
Five silos have been erected near
Leal, Barnes county, this season, with
two forms.
The purpose of the si1o aid Is to
help farmers to erect an efficient silo
at minimum of cost and enable the
storing of an abundance Of low cost
food in most palatable, digestible
form of milk production.

Reduced Express
Rates Ordered by
Commissioners
GEORGE LOTUS AND JAMES
MAMMALIAN FIRST TO MAKE
COMPLAINTS.

Washington, D. c., Aug. Eek
press companies operating throughout
the United States will be forced to
make reductions approximately one
sixteenth of their total income, or
about $26,OOO,OO0, as the result of a
decision of the Interstate Commerce
commission today. The rates are to
he effective on or before Oct. Is.
Many reforms in methods employed
were also ordered The most import
ant change is the reduction ordered in
ahe present schedule of parcel rates.
The largest reductions were ordered
on consignments which travel long
distance.
The 1OO-pound rates for short dis
sances are either left unchanged, or
are slightly reduced. For longer dis
tances they are lowered. For so
pounds or less, all rates are practi-
cally reduced. For packages over
four pounds going over 700 miles and
less than 1000 miles the new express
rates are generally lower than the par
eel post rates. For over 5000 miles
the rates are practically the same.
The report and order of the COM
mission were prepared by Commission
or John H. Marble. They are a vir-
tual confirmation of the findings OF
former Commissioner Lane, now Sec
rotary of the interior.
A permanent committee was ap-
pointed to revise the routes Of express
carriers to eliminate circuitous toutes
now the cause of considerable CON-
plaint on the part of shippers. The
commissions order is for two years
only, which the report says, will give
abundant opportunity to test the
rates.
The decision of the commission de-
tered as it has been, over year,
followed an investigation occupying
nearly six years. In the hearing near
" a carload of books and papers were
Nled.

Auto Plunged Into
Red; -Four Lives Lost

Dayton, N. D., Aug. 4.-Four out Of
an automobile party of six, all from
Drayton N. D. WE'RE drowned in the
Red river yesterday afternoon when
The automobile of John A Johnson of
that place plunged into the river while
descending the high hill road leading
to the ferry boat landing which makes
connection with the road to Hallock,
Mimi, from the Moth Dakota side of
the river.
The party comprised Mr.. and Mrs.
John A. Johnson and their 12-year-old
ron, Willie; Mr.. and Mrs. r. A. Stew.
art and John Anderson, the chauffeur,
all Of Drayton.
They were returning from an auto
mobile pleasure trip to Hallock in Mr..
Johnson's new big Kissel car. When
the party reached the top of the high
hill above the Red river Anderson
stopped the car and Mr.. Johnson de-
scended on foot to see II the ferry
boat was in sight. When he reached
the foot of the hill he motioned the
driver to follow.
Anderson descended cautiously, but
when three.Quarters Of the way down.
he breaks caught and refused to work.
The car plunged forward into the
stream with all the passengers.
The top Of the big vehicle was up
20 that escape by the occupants jump
ing out was impossible. There was no
alternative except being swept into the
swift current of the river.
Anderson, it is said caught hold of
Hrs. Stewart in the effort to rescue
aer. Once he rose to the surface of
1ne water with her in his arms, but
sank again. When he re-appeared
Rter he was alone. Her body has not
yet been found.
The body of Mrs. Johnson was not
1Ound until last evening at Z o'clock.
Neither the bodies Of the boy nor Mr..
Stewart have been located. Mr.. John.
son, himself, was unable to swim.
No boats no ropes were in sight
There was nothing available to throw
she victims and all were lost, with the
exception of Anderson, who barely es.
naped.

Pace at MINI. fair
UHlAN At THE MINNESOTA
STATE FAREWELL ATTEMPT
TO LOWER TRACK RECORD.

Minnesota State Fair Grounds, Aug.
IA telegram has been received an
nouncing that Uhlan 1853, the worlds
champion trotting horse. will be at
the Minnesota State Fair during the
week Of Sept. is. He will start in an
attempt to lower his own record and
the worlds record on Tuesday or
Wednesday of Fair week.
c. K. G. Billings, the millionaire
owner of Uhlan and other famous
horses, was 10th to send the champion
trotter to Minnesota but when con.
vinced that by doing so he would be
boosting the light harness game, he
consented. Mr.. Billings himself has
been invited to be the guest of the
State Fair management and it ia
hoped that he will accept as he is a
noted reinsman and, If he comes, will
undoubtedly pilot the champion to a
new record.
Uhlan Is not only worlds cham.
pion trotter but he has the distinction
of being the fastest horse Of any gait
excepting only Dan Patch. He is car
ed for as BELTS his fame. He will
come to Minnesota in his private car
and will have special quarters on the
grounds in which to receive his visi-
tors.
1t seems certain that every horse.
man in the Northwest will be in the
stands at Hamline when the great Son
Of Bingen tries to lower the worlds
record over the track already made
famous by other history making per-
formances.

LOOK OUT FOR oUAck GRASS.

To Dakota Farmer: There have
been farmers clubs organized in most
every part of the Dakotas-and some
they call Better Farming Clubs, but
up to this time we have not seen any
warning to farmers to inspect their
fields for Quack grass. In most every
part of North Dakota where Bronze
grass seed was shipped in, some years
ago, it has been found that Quack
grass was grought in with it. In one
way or another, the seeds or roots
of this grass have become scattered
in the fields, but in spots so small,
at first, that the farmers have paid
no attention to it and in nine cases
out of ten, the hired man has not
cared to report such very dangerous
roots when he has noticed them. AS
time goes on, the roots of this plant
will have become torn apart by har.
rowing, transplanting is a dozen
places, and finally scattered all over
the farm before the owner Of the land
has had time to realize it.
Now, why do not the better farming
clubs get busy and educate the iarm-
ers to keep a live watch for such a
dangerous weed? One thing sure-if
the Quack grass is let alone like it
has been the last four or five years,
1t will be no time at all before North
Dakota will be in the same condition
it was fifty or sixth years ago, when
there was nothing but grass craving
everywhere-but instead Of ordinary
grass, 1t will be the harmful Quack
grass.
II the farmer sees any green
spots in his field. examine them and
see II there are any long roots with
q joint every inch or two with an end
Of the root pointed and larger-if so,
he has found Quack grass, for usually
no other roots lave such formation.
