was served, then in companies of so,
the members were shown through the
mine. It was surprise to every one
to know there was as large a mine in
this state. Wilton and the Washburn
mine will get some good advertising

Report Denied By
Railway Officials
Great Northern Did Not Buy the
Turtle Lake Branch Of the
Northern Pacific

According to the New Rockford
Transcript the Turtle Lake branch of
the Northern Pacific has not been pur-
chased by the Great Northern and New
Rockford will still be on the Fargo
Minot cutoff. The Dogden News says
the new survey for the Great Northern
branch south of that village has been
abandoned and the company has bought
the Turtle Lake branch. The St. Paul
Dispatch says the Carrington-Turtle
Lake division of the Northern Pacific
will be paralleled by the extension west
from New Rockford. The right-of- way
has been bought from Lewiston to NAL
colin, Mclean by the Great Northern,
that would almost indicate that no pur-
chase had been made. Very little
knowledge can be obtained from the
railroad officials as yet but all will be
made public when spring work begins.

production little below that of the
first season. This was naturally to be
expected where the cows were under
fed. The experiment showed that un-
derfed cows would not produce to the
best advantage, and when they were
given good ration in abundance that
the total output was materially in
creased, yet the relative percentage of
the test was not changed for any length
of time.
Practically the same results have been
obtained at the Missouri station by Prof.
Eckles. He states, however, that when
the COW is reasonably fat when she first
calves that the test of the milk will be
increased somewhat, owing to the fact
that she draws from the body for some
time until she is down to normal body
weight again. After that the test Of
the milk will not be materially iniuenc-
ed again during the period of lactation.
The writer has found that results OBJ
tanned at the above stations are gener-
ally true where cows are handled in an
intelligent manner, but that many con-
clusions are prematurely drawn as to
the influence of feed upon the increase
of the butterfat test of milk. As rule,
when everything has been taken into
consideration, it is quite impossible to
make any lasting change in the test of
the milk by feeding the cow.-Ex.

Attended Fathers Funeral

Mr.. and Mrs. o. H. Holtan returned
from Grassy Lake, Alberta Wednesday
where they were called by the illness
and death of the latter's father, H. F.
Olson. They received a telegram
announcing his failing health and left at
once but reached there half an hour
after he had passed away. Mrs. Olson
accompanied her daughter home and
will remain here for some time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Olson lived north of
Washburn for twelve years and made
many friends who extend sympathy to
the bereaved family.
The following is taken from The
Grassy Lake Gazette, Alberta: The
death occurred on Saturday, February
22nd, of Hans Frederick Olson, father
of Olaf and Dan Olson, of Grassy Lake
and Taber, at the age of IA years. He
had been an invalid for five years and
the end was not unexpected. The fun
eral took place on Wednesday after
noon, services being held in the Pres
byterian church conducted by Rev.
Waller, Norwegian Lutheran pastor,
and interment being made in Grassy
Lake cemetary. A great many friends
of the deceased and the family attend
ed to pay tribute of respect and the
floral tokens were very numerous, ex-
presslve and beautiful. The pallbear-
ers were: Charles Scott, R. j. McNabb,
James L. Larson, M. C.. McCoombs,
E. Ellingson and Ed Mcdonald.
The late Mr.. Olson was a native of
Norway where he was born in 1888 and
married in 1867, in which year he came
to America and settled in Freeborn
county, Minnesota where he lived for
IL years. In 1885 he moved to North
Dakota and in 1908 came to Grassy
Lake. He is survived by widow, two
daughters and two sons: Mrs. o. H.
Holtan of Washburn, N. D., Mrs. H.
C. Nygaard of Turtle Lake, N. D.,
Olaf of Grassy Lake and Dan of Taber.

Changes Along the Missouri

Times have changed on the Missouri
river since the pioneer days when gov
ernment troops and supplies for fur
traders, soldiers and Montana miners
were the sole sources Of steamboat
traffic on the Big Muddy, says the
Jamestown Alert. Then the war whoop
of the savage Sioux, engaged in bloody
conflicts with other tribes and with the
white soldiers and immigrants, were
heard echoing up and down the silent
stream. Now the sounds are from the
railroad engine whistle, and evidences
of peaceful commerce are scattered
along the banks, once the home of the
wood chopper, the fur trader and trap
per. One of the new enterprises on the
Upper Missouri river is the construc-
tion of large tug boats and barges for
moving railroad material to be used in
the construction of the Great Northern
extension from New Rockford. These
barges will transport steel rails, en-
gines, cars, ties and other material
down the Missouri river fifty miles or
more from Williston.
The old forts that provided safety
and protected the advance guard of civ
ilization have about disappeared and
the prosaic home of the Dakota farmer
and rancher are seen instead. New
railroad bridges will be built across the
historic steam, and a government irri-
cation slant has been established near
one of the abandoned army posts.
While the new order of things is best
yet there is always tinge of regret at
the passing of the old. In the pioneer
days trip up the Missouri was attend
ed with romance and the glamour of ad-
venture was there. Now the CONNER
cial spirit prevades all, and the era of
the commonplace succeeds the wild,
free, natural life of the men who led
the way.

influence Of Feed on Milk Test

The influence of feed on the butterfat
test in milk has been a subject of much
controversy for many years. One of
the reasons for this has been the fact
that scientific Investigations have not
agreed very we'll with the opinions of
the farmers and dairymen. For long
time back, the dairymen in many Sec
tions believed that they could increase
the test of milk by changing the feed
of the cow, yet the results of investi-
gators seem to indicate that the guam
tity of milk can be increased, and there
by the amount of butterfat, but that
the percentage of test is not materially
increased for any length of time.
In the New York station bulletin, No.
173, is given summary of work done
along this line. The plan followed with
these Investigators was to secure few
cows, close to the station, that fulfilled
these conditions; cows poorly fed, of
considerable size, had been on the same
farm for considerable time, compara-
lively young, and that they should drop
their calves nearly at the same time.
Sufficient cows were found within easy
driving distance of the station, and the
work was begun to cover period of
four years. For the first year the cows
were kept at the farm and given the
same amount of feed as previously, the
milk weighed and tested. The follow
ing two years ten of the cows were re-
moved to the station where for the first
year they were given very nutritious
ration containing large percentage Of
protein. The result was that the cows
gained materially in weight, increased
about as per cent on milk flow and
about H per cent on the amount of
butterfat. yet the relative percentage
Of the test was not materially changed.
The fourth year the cows were re-
turned to the farms and given about
the same rations as during the first

Twenty Years Ago

j. S. Langbelle returned from his
Bismarck trip yesterday. Both he and
Louis Anderson are disgusted with the
Bismarck wheat market, as they only
received 43 cents per bushel after
haul of over as miles. This appears to
the average mind as somewhat of an
outrageous price, inasmuch as wheat in
Duluth is now GO cents, the lowest yet
paid. This makes difference of Is
cents, and the freight from Bismarck
to Duluth is only l6 cents, giving the
Bismarck sharks clean profit of 9
cents.
Wild geese have already made their
appearance in this region. They are
just little premature but their coming
is somewhat encouraging to the people.

that Gov. Shortridge has commissioned
all his appointees, including those whom

to serve until the next legislative ses-
sion.

Two more disgraceful chapters are to
be added to the history of North Da-
kota. Two members of the old peni-
tentiary board, whose terms have expir-
ed by limitation, refuse to surrender to
their successors appointed by Gov.
Shortridge, and the same trouble is
being experienced on the agricultural
college board at Fargo. Those memb-
ers who should retire gracefully are
acting shamefully and detracting from
their own laurels.
Among the old timers mentioned in
the Leader in March 1893 were: Com
missioner Swan Hanson, John Merry,
J. c. Dwyer, Peter Miller, VIM. Reuter-.
S. A. Peterson, Mrs. Linda w. Slaught-
er, Larry Casselman, o. H. Gates, Joe
Katz, John Reuter-, Ed Richards and
Chas. Danielson.
It would seem from the tone Of some
Of our exchanges that the dying hours
of the last legislature were not very
commendable at least to some of the
members. Whatever may be said of
them, we are happy to note that the
names of neither our senator or repre-
sentative have ever been mentioned in
other than respectful manner. This
is mark of esteem that it will be we'll
to remember in the future. Both Mr.
Gregory and Mr.. Satterlund are highly
spoken of whenever they are mentioned.

SALVATION ARMY SHELTER
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Cincinnati, Dec. 16.-In a fire
which destroyed Salvation Army
shelter here early today at least six
persons perished, and it was feared
that the victims were buried in the
ruins. A dozen injured were in
local hospitals.
At least 13S persons were asleep
in the shelter. Besides the known
dead, many others were unaccounted
for.
Salvation Army officials said man
who asked accommodation at the
shelter recently and for some reason
met with a refusal, threatened to
"get even."
On the strength of this statement
Fred Meyer, a man of forty, was ar
rested. He was ordered from the
shelter twice last night.

TINY REPUBLIC MAKES
TROUBLE FOR VATICAN

Rome, Dec. 16.-San Marino, the
smallest, but none the less one Of the
most obstreperous republics in the
world, is again at ioggerheads with
Italy. Recently the tiny republic
passed a law obnoxious to the Va
tican. The latter protested, but San
Marino refused to bulge. Then the
Vatican withdrew its minister and
Immediately thereafter San Marino
withdrew it's, and the two powers are
still at outs.
A little later San Marino solicited
the gift from Italy of two antiquated
cannon, and at once increased its
war footing by organizing an artil
lery corps of nine members. Later
1t was discovered that the republic
was so small that there was no point
within the kingdom where artillery
practice could be INDUCED in without
the cannon balls dropping in Italian
territory, and thus creating hostile
act San Marino had no sooner apol-
ogized to Italy for this than she
again started fresh trouble.
Like France, Italy and most of the
other powers, San Marino exercises
a government monopoly on tobacco,
from the sale of which it receives
most of it's state revenues. The gov
ernment's supply is purchased from
Italy and ordinarily amounts to a
half ton year.
In 1911, however, the San Marin
ose did not chew and smoke so much
as ordinarily and San Marino pur-
chased from Italy only a quarter OF
ton of tobacco. This year smoking
and chewing is more popular and San
Marino has demanded of Italy tnat
it come across with the other quarter
of ton to which 1t was entitled IN
1911. Italy says it won't, and san
Marino has all but said that If II
don't she'll take the antiquated can
non which Italy presented to her and
shoot the surrounding Italian terri
tory, which consists exclusively OF
barren uninhabited mountains, full
Of three-inch holes.

CARRANZA MUST
PROTECT FOREIGNERS

Washington, Dec. 16.-Secretary
Bryan today put it up definitely to
General Carranza to protect foreign
ers and foreign property in rebel ter
ritory in Mexico.
OF course it was to conditions in
Chihuahua City that especial refer
ence was made. Carranza was given
plainly to understand that the Wash
ington administration looks to him to
keep General Villa in order.
If Villa cannot be made to obey, it
was said Carranza probably will lose
all chance of American support when
President Huerta is driven out OF
office.
Administration officials plainly wer
worried. So was the Mexican rebel
iunta here. Its members seemed to
recognize more fully than Villa the
value of American friendship. In the
hope of making him understand this
they sent him telegram direct,
warning him that his treatment of
foreigners was hurting the rebel
cause.
A report from American Consul
Letcher at Chihuahua City was eag-
erly awaited. The hope still fingered
that the stories told by many Of the
chihuahua City refugees were exag'
gerations.
Conditions at Tampico were un
changed.
