MADE LONG WALK
IN SEVERE STORM

New England, N. d., March 81
On Friday, March goth, through the
worst storm that western North Da-
kota has experienced this white:
Olaf, the 15.year-old son of Ole BaN-
Ike, walked from Dickinson to lis
fathers farm, 8 miles south Of New
England, a distance of Sc miles.
Poung .nakke had been visiting for
several weeks with relatives in the
eastern part of the state. He arriV-
ed nj Dickinson on Friday morning,
at about 8 o'clock, and set out on
foot at once for his home. He ar
rived in New England at about
o'clock, having then covered 2S miles
of the distance. He said that he was
not tired but as his feet were wet
he thought he had better be getting
home before he caught cold. '..
1t was a terrible day to be abroad
on the open prairie, as the air was
filled with flying snow and cold
wind was blowing. Many people
would not venture far from their
homes, for fear of getting lost, but
this staunch young son of Norway
took this 36-mile walk as very usual
affair and an easy way of earning
the IS it would have cost him to ride
home in the automobile stage. The
stage started from Dickinson that
day, but turned back because Of the

Nandan, n. D., March pa large
pane of glass Jared loose from the

Mr.. Williams sustained four great

Friends hurried him to a physicians

PRELIMINARIES OF
MIDLAND EXTENSIONS

Jamestown, N. d., March 27,-The
extension of the Midland road from
Wimbledon northeast to Cooperstown
is indicated this year by numerous &C
tive preparations now going on.
Among these is securing the right OF
way by Agent Britt of jamestown for
the line of road between Wimbledon
and CooperstoWn. 1t is reported that
Cooperstown has offered the company
u substantial bonus and favorable To-
cal advantages. The Grand Forks COM
mercial club has become active in
overtures to the company to defect
the line to that city and it is now al
together probable that such a plan
may be followed, although the matter
has not been definitely settled. Grand
Forks is naturally anxious to secure
another outlet to the southwestern
portion OF the state, which it does
not now possess, except by indirect
and round about routes. Just where
the Midland line will run from Coop
erstown has not been stated, but it is
likely to cross the Aneta branch of
tho Great Northern in the neighbor-
hood of Sharon. A splendid agricul-
tural country is thus traversed all the
way and with Grand Forks as a ter
minal, the growth of local business
Of the line would be Immediately in
creased.
1t is stated on good authority that
the operation of the road from VIM
bledon to Edgeley has been highly
satisfactory, from an investment
point of viey and in addition to the
northeast it is not unlikely
the future will see the road extend
ed south from Edgeley through Ellen
dale and to Leola, s. ID. 1t is expected
that definite announcements will be
made in the near future in regard to
the construction contracts and propo-
sitions for grading. and building the
line from EaNimbledoh northeast.

FATHER OF PHRENoL0GY.
Dr.. Gall At One Time Had the WhoIe
Of Europe In q Furoro.


Of Europe In . Furors.
The first public notice Of the "Father
Of Phrenology" appeared in Welland's
Dutch Mercury" on Aug. II, 179S.
Gall was practlcing physician Of
Vienna, and early in his career he be.
came firm believer in the idea that
the talents and disposition of men arc
dependent upon the functions Of the
brain and, furthermore, that they may
be inferred with perfect exactitude
and precision from the external ap.
pearances of the skull.
Gall was an able man. He set forth
bis theory in a graphic, unctuous man
ner, and in very brief period he had
all Europe at the top notch of excite.
ment. The idea spread like wildfire,
and in all grades Of society people
were discussing 1.-The greatest Of all
discoveries" The new theory had to
meet the customary opposition from
the custodians Of truth and the pre-
servers Of morality, but the opposition
only increased the popularity Of the
theory, and Calls celebrity increased
by leaps and bounds. His lectures
were interdicted, and he was threaten
ed with the direst penalties unless he
ceased his "lmmoral and atheistical'
teachings, but he kept on with his
propaganda, visiting all the large towns
Of Germany and the continent, and by
1905 all of Europe was interested in
the Vienna doctor.
In 1928, the year of Calls death,
chronology was in vogue everywhere.
But after great and glorious food
tide of popularity it began to wane,
and today it is but seldom heard Of

states looking to us for their coal
The briquetting industry while II
has been a long time coming, is now
with us, but in its infancy. Millions
upon millions of feet OF gas can be
made from our Ignite coal. This
will all be utilized in a few years.
The transformation is fast approach
ing which will bring to us immense
revenue from our coal beds and clay
deposits. Do you realize that we
have a great field opening up in our
state for electrical engineering? The
time is not far distant when you will
see electricity sent out on wires to
every farm home, and this will be
brought about with the development
OF our coal fields and rich clay de-
posts. tr
~. Our State.
Ours is a young state. Ours is a
young people. Our state is made up
OF fOrcible young men and women
and it is worth something to live in
a state like ours. TIC governor
then took up the various penal and
charitable institutions, telling his
hearers OF the enormous cost to the
people in keeping up and maintain
ing them.

for offioe-hOlders We are holding
too many elections. The three cleo
tons of two years ago cost the peo-
pie over 100000 and I think there
were about $4,000 votes cast ct each
election, which, when figured out,
cost the taxpayers the sum OF $500
per head for every voter, not saying
anything about the expense that 1t
costs the different candidates for Of
fees. l would urge and recommend
that our legislature meet once every
four years, instead OF each two years.
1t costs us 100000 each time they
meet, and, with, the office-holders Of
the state and county being elected
for four-year terms, it would mean
a saving of at least 100000 every
