was that the citizens refuse to

be such an easy matter to pub

persistent refusal to do so gives
ground for unfavorable comment.

DARLINGTON WELL
HAS GIVEN OUT

Darlington, N. D.. June 3.-Carring-
ton is about ready to throw it's city
well into the scrap heap. A half mile
or hole has been found to be no good.
This week the water played out and
not enough could be secured to, supply
the ordinary demands. Another effort
was made to pump. but only a stray
CLING stream for half an hour was Sc
cured.
Later the pump in the we'll at the
old Keeler livery barn site was rugged
up and an electric motor attached.
About two feet of water was sent into
the standpipe from 1t, with no appar-
emit lowering of the water in the well.
The playing out of the city we'll
brings the city fact to face with a Sc
Erious problem. The cost Of operating
the old we'll had been so heavy that it
might be said the city has bankrupted
itself in an effort to make something Of
Of value of it. Now. 1t will be impossi-
bile for the city to raise any great
amount Of money to seek a new source
Of supply. 1t is likely that public spir-
tied citizens may have to come to the
rescue and furnish the necessary
money, or a franchise may be granted
to a company to bring In, water from
the slough" 1t is generally conceded
that there is water enough north of
the town three miles to supply the
needs Of the city. and it Is certain that
the quality will be far superior to
what has been secured from the arte-
sian well.

PHONE EXCHANGE
FOR new town

Plaza, N. D., June Sc. B. Baker
and c. R. Gallup of Minneapolis will
start a central exchange at Parshall
within h next sixty days. They will
run their line into Plaza and expect to
be able to promote or assist the set
tiers on the reservation in forming a
network of rural telephones e the
entire reservation. Mr.. Baker left re-
Gently for Minot where he will file on
the NW31-152-90, adjoining the town
site. He will build a large two-story
building at once, hold down his home
stead from the second story and have
"a telephone office and electric light
plant on the first floor.
It might seem a bit impractical to
do all this before the town is built, but
Messrs. Baker and Gallup are expert
enced telephone men and know what
they are doing. Mr.. Baker put in the
second telephone exchange in the
United States back in Connecticut; he
has been in the telephone business for
the past thirty years and is now on the
retired list Of the Bell Telephone Co.
Mr.. Gallup has been with the North
western Telephone Co. for several
years. The standing of these two men
in the telephone business c%onvinces us
that they know what they are about
and that their proposition must be
good. 1t is a great boost for ParshalI
townsite and the farmers in hat ter
ritory. Mr.. Baker. will ship his switch
board and have his poles on the way
in a few days. He expects to have the
line up inside of sixty days.

The SAD Case
OF CONG. YOUNG

Washington Herald: Representative
Young Of North Dakota has been 60
ing through life these many years with
Young wa a small boy his mother in
viegled him into promising to read
Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress. She told
him that if he didn't read Pilgrims
Progress he would never amount to
anything. That being the case, he
promised, But this promise did not in
cIude any time limit, so he let the
thing slide, especially after he got the
book and looked it over. He intended
to keep his promise, of course, but saw
no occasion for any great rush about
it. The book would keep. Once, when
he was II years old he read almost
two pages n a half about the pilgrim
and. his doings.&a Then he decided to
wait a day or two before finishing the
chapter. He put it off from day to
day. then from week to week and from
year to year To this. day he still in
tends fully to read Pilgrims Progress.
He would give a good sum of money
to have his promise all fulfilled and the
thing over. If he had it to do over
again, ne would make no such rash
agreement. A less conscientious man
might nave passed up the book years
ago and regarded the promise as out
lawed, but Young thinks a promise is
a promise. Hardly a day passes that
he doesn't recall nj wonder when he
will find time to make good on it. A
sad life is Young's, yet he is cheerful
through it all.

green BOY IN
SERIOUS TROUBLE

Bottineau, N. D., June 3.-Sheriff
Sandstrom was hurriedly called to Kra-
mer last Monday forenoon to arrest a
horse thief with a horse and rig taken
from a farmer neal Medora, Man. He
expected to find the real old timer who
used to rustic horses in the early days,
but instead ran into an oVergrown boy
II years old, who had been away from
home and mother working for the
farmer all spring. His wages amount
ed to $40 but the farmer had refused to
pay him but IS. The boy was home
sick and green, and being afraid he
would be euchered out of his money
entierly, he took a horse and buggy
and started for home, leaving a trail
behind him plain enough to locate him
on a. dark night. The provincial po-
lice and Jas. Wilkinson Of Deloraine,
we'll known here, came over after him
Monday afternoon. returning the same
evening. They said his age and the
conditions would be likely to tighten his
sentence though it could run anywhere
from six months to twenty years. He
expected to send for his father at Clar-
issa, Mimi, at once, and his presence
would possibly help the kid out some.

BOWBELLS MAN
MISSIONARY FOR
PURE BRED Stock

BowbellS Tribune3 A. G. Wiper,
president Of. the First National bank
of this city, and a man who has in the
past always done hisa best to advance
the interests Of the residents Of Burke
county, is now making arrangements
to lake q trip into the dairy districts
of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa for
the purpose of buying up two OF more
carloads of pure bred dairy stock,
which he will in turn bring to- BoW-
bells to sell to farmers who want to
improve their herds. Like all other
wide awake men, he realizes that
Burke county will eventually become
a diary district, and the sooner it be-
m so the better off we all will be,
The Tribune is advised hat Mr.. Wiper
will buy this stock for ash so as to
get the best possible price, and will
when necessary sell to farmers here on
time. His buying in carloads will
bring the price down, and save a good
deal Of money in freight. He does not
intend to make any money on the
transaction, out will sell the stock for
exactly what it cost plus freight and
whatever expense he has been put to.
Up to the present time Mr.. Wiper
has not fully made UP his mind as to
what breed he will buy. Some farm
ers seem to want the ShOrthOrnS, 9TH
ers the GuernSeys, n still others the
Holsteins.
1t would be advisable to get all of
n breed here, n the chances are
that MIR. Wiper will buy the kind that
seems to be in most demand.

HORSES KILLED

New England, N. D., June 3.-For
several days the past week Asst. State
Veterinarian w. E. Stribling has been
out In the Midway and Shollsmade
country inspecting horses for CHAMBERS.
A short time ago it was reported that
an estray horse near Shollsmade show
ed signs of the disease. An examina-
tion was made and the animal was
condemned and killed. Two horses
were condemned at Victor Frederick's,
one at Hjalmer ~Jacobson's and one at
p. III. BUNDLES.
Horses that are known to have been
with some of the condemned animals
are under quarantine until it is cer-
tain that they have not contracted the
disease. At the present time fifty
four horses are included in the quaran-
tine. These horses show no signs of
CHAMBERS and in all probability are in
perfect health. The quarantine is a
matter of p~recaution and is the only
thing that will completely stamp out
the disease. The law simply requires
that the horses be kept on the farm
until the quarantine Is raised.
Those who have horses in quarantine
are: r. H. Rumble, Victor Frederick.

ever known in the history Of
this community occurred on Sat-

though heartbroken.
Details are meagre, but the follow

FOR HEI1INGER

Hettinger, N. D., June 3.--W. r.
Lanxon returned Sunday from Athens,
Wis, bringing with him ten dairy COWS
and one bull which have been placed
on the Hettinger Experiment farm.
The cows are good grade Guernseys
and the bull is a registered animal of
the same breed. This gives the farm
twelve good cows In all and as eight
of them are milking they will produce
considerable revenue and will be an
important factor in putting the farm on
a better. financial basis.
