A Substitute for Cement.

Consul w. w. Masterson, Harput,
Turkey: In this country, where &C.
ment is not used or hardly known, a
substitute has been found that has
met with rather good results when
applied in exposed places, in filling
creTices in water pipes, covering joints
in stone floors, in fountains, IN for
numerous other purposes where ce-
ment would be required. The mixture
is as satisfactory in water as in ex-
posed places, but it must be allowed
to become thoroughly dry before it is
submerged.
The mixture is slaked lime, linseed
oil and cotton fiber. Generally a hol-
.lowed-out Stone is used, although a
fiat, hard surface will answer, and
the process is started by pouring the
oil on a handful Of cotton, after which
the lime is busted in. 1t is then
kneaded until the whole is thoroughly

Twenty-Five miles from. Fargo on
the Southwestern line OF the Northern
Pacific railroad is located the town OF
Leonard, one OF the coming towns of
the state. The town has an ideal
location and a steady growth from
year to year has now caused it to
reach a population in excess of 500
people. This makes it a sure thing
that in the years to- come the growth
will b 9 steady n that Leonard will
eventually be one Of the county's
largest cities.
From Leonard as-far as the eye can
see stretch immense reaches Of the
most productive farm land Of the
state and the rise in the value has
been rapid and every acre of land in
the vicinity is worth more than the
price now asked which ranges from
$50 to $40 per acre. That the farmers
Of that section appreciate the value

In this last days sklrmish in the thick
underbrush that Col. r. J. Fl. Beaver
lost his life. This English gentleman
had come to America for a buffalo
hunt. When he learned Of the Indian

who mad him commissioned as an aide

We had marched and skirmished
with the Indians from Camp Pope to
the Missouri, a distance Of 500 miles,
me summer was unusually dry, SO

wells after a long days march before
we could get water for coffee. We fin

swim the river, and nan Of them
were drowned. After this last skirmish

camp, which was about two miles
farther down the river. It was a
beautiful spot-a tableland, as level as
a floor. The scouts were out, and a
lookout posted on the high ground be-
low, so as to watch the movements Of
the Indians. The general was suspf-

After we had pitched our tents and
detailed the guards and squads for
wood and water, most Of the rest of
US started for a good bath, which we
needed after u long, hot march.
There were hundreds of us engaged
in this refreshing, pleasant pastime,
when the long roll was sounded, and
officers n men were hurrying all
directions, and in all stages Of toilet.
1t was no time to stand on
for the orders came thick and fast:

some without shirts, while others got

the rent. My friend, you are 60

The final rout of the billboard trust
took place in st. Louis after nine
year court battle, when the city COM
missioner ordered that 1900 billboards,
virtually all in the city, be torn down
within four days.
The billboards were on the property
of approximately 1000 property own
ers, and to each of these owners a
special delivery letter: was sent calling
their attention to the laws violation
and requiring that the boards be re-
moved within three days of the receipt
of notification, one days grace being
allowed for delivery of the order.
II shall have an ak squad ready and
the offending boards will come down."
said Building Commissioner McKelvey
The 1905 ordinance to be enforced by
the building commissioner limits the
height Of billboards to fourteen feet,
requires a space of four feet between
the ground and the bottom of the
board, limits the area to 500 square
feet and the length to fifty feet and
fixes license fee of 81 for every lineal
five feet.
