Mooden Shoes Made In The United
States.

In this country beech Is the favorite
material for wooden shoes, the manufac=
ture of which has reached considerable
proportions 10 the United States according
to the department of agriculture. which
has just issued bulletin on the use
of the wood. These shoes, the depart
ment says. cost from 90 to rs cents pair
and are good for two years. They are
worn by those who have to work in cold
or wet places. such as tanneries, brew
cries, and livery stables, and by workmen
in steel mills and glass factories who
must walk~on hot CRATES or floors. Farm
ers. too. are classed among the users.
Beech wood is put to very much
wider range of uses than the average
person would be likely to suspect. The
department says beech enters into hum
dreds of articles from hobby-horse rockers
TO butchers blocks. We walk on beech
floors. eat off beech picnic plates, carry
beech baskets. play With beech toys, sit
on beech chairs, and in dozens of other
ways use articles made of beech almost
every day of our lives. Its freedom from
taste Ats the wood especially for articles
which come in contact with fcodstuffs,
and beech meat boards, skewers, lard
tubs, butter boxes, sugar hogsheads, re-
frigerators,i dishes. spoons and scoops are
widely used.
Only one species Of beech grows
naturally in the United States, but few
trees in this country have wider COM
mercial range. Il extends from the Gulf
Of Mexico into eastern Canada, and in
practically every place where il grows it is
cut for market. The total yearly output
of beechwood in the United States Is APP
proximately 500 million board feet

The reason the work has not been

NJ ?. Repairing ITS
RAILROAD PROPERTY
p REPAIRING IT'S


Mandan, N. d., June 17.--The Nor.
thern Pacific is giving its railroad
property its annual repairing. This
season most Of the work is being
done on the north and south
branches, the firss mentioned receiv'
ing most OF the attention. The
food waters of the Missouri river
this spring and during the June rise
has required a crew of % men to keep
engaged continuously to protect the
track. At the Narrows, near Tim
merman's ranch, a good deal of repair
ing had to be done to protect a half
mile of bank and it will require a
large crew to watch that situation
during the text six weeks. When
the branch lines were built no provi.
sion was made to drain the cuts and
at present a steam ditcher is engaged
in providing such necessary improve
ment. Gravel trains will soon be put
at work on both branches and at
present a crew is being engaged in
putting in a sidetrack at New Leipzig.

PLANNING
RAILWAY LINE

Manning, N. D., June 16.-Tired OF
the apparently hopeless wait for the
northern extension of the Northern
Pacific out of Mandan to head this
way, citizens of Manning are now
planning two railway lines. One ef-
fort will be made to construct a line
from Manning to Pearce on the Mil
waukee near Mott. This road will
cross the main line of the Northern
Pacific at Almont or Hebron.
Opposed to this plan, or rather as
an auxiliary to 1t is another project
to run a line direct from here to Man
dan, splitting the distance between
the N. p. main line and the new ex-
tension which hugs the Missouri river.
1t would run through western Oliver
county. That section gets no relief
from the extension, as it is almost
as far north as the main line is south.

MAY ORGANIZE
v|G|LANl POSSE

Buford, N. D., June 16.-Citizens
of the Yellowstone valley threaten to
organize the vigilantes in order to
stop d~epredations by horse thieves
and cattle rustlers. Some years ago
former Sheriff Ben Olson cleaned out
Williams county and until quite re-
Gently the ranchers and farmers had
enjoyed perfect security. For some
time, however, the settlers have been
missing horses and cattle. In most
instances It apears the horses are
driven over the international line and
the cattle into the bad lands. 1t is
the general opinion the thieves have
confederates posing as homesteaders
and the latter conceal the cattle till
there is an opportunity to run them
further along.

II and IS, Tuesday and Wednesday
next. We expect and no doubt will
have the biggest crowd ever gather
ed in our village to participate in the
deliberations of the Catholic Mutual
Benefit Association meetings for two
Just now Richardton is the liveli-
est place in the state-perhaps with
the exception of Bis:narck-and the
activity prevailing among the hum
BILE villagers is something marvellous
and praiseworthy at the same time.
The streets are being graded and
dragged, most of the houses and build
ings are receiving a new attire with
paint and brush, house wives and the
girls are cleaning, scrubbing and bak-
ing, men busy talking on the streets,
carpenters working day and night to
complete the new hall, erected at the
cost of about 100000, and even the
people in the country and on the
farms are making arrangements to
house and entertain their friends
who will flock into our village for
those two days.
From comparative estimates we ex-
pect from 1000 to 1900 people, proni-
nent speakers from this state and
other states, but no matter how many
come, the people of ,Richardton will
be glad to show their hospitality and
make room for all of them.
Do not be afraid to come to our vii
lagc and we assure you that you DO
not have to spend the night under the
water tank. We will always find
room for one ore.

SMART GIRLS ARE
TO TRY farming

Calgary, Alta, June 16.-Surprises
IN this Western country are many and
of a varied order, but when two
smart and well dressed New York
young women, who arrived in Cal
gary June IL, calmly announced tc
the press that they had come to Al.
berta to farm along scientific lines,
old timers took off their hats to the
latest novelty to be sprung here.
The Misses Comac are two blight
American girls, who believe that
there Is a field for their sea in the
farming industry in Alberta. Their
home is in New York city where one
of the sisters practised law and the
other vas a rnilliner by profession,
Both have saved up a substantial sum
vest in their farm near Calgary. The
two sisters will begin operations on
half a sectio nof land at Langley. B.
c., and after a short visit with rela-
tives in Calgary will proceed to their
farm at once. Both claim to be stu
dents of scientific farming and de.
clare that their farm will be Operat-
ed only on the most approved and up
to-date methods.
The sisters look with contempt up
on any suggestions that they will not
succeed in their venture. They as
sert that a farmer nowadays does
not have to till the land in person, il
he has the brains to direct others to
do the work for him. Their farm
they state, will be conducted just the
.D ~n~ -, - 1~.-s,~r . IT, XI~ -~ak T1>>r
will be the owners and managers and
will engage competent labor to farm
the land according to their directions.

sumers league while in Calgary.

on the entire stock Of raZOrs, small
guns, pocket knives and silverware,
besides taking a good supply Of am
munitiOn, drills and other small artl-

who were bound over to, the district

is thought to be the work of hoboes
who have been infesting this section
