TO DO away WITH
FESTIVE GOPHER
Prof. W. B. Bell. Of Nd. "A. 6
Has Method to Exterminate
the Pest.

Minot, N. D., Aug. 2S.-Prof. w. b.
Bell Of the geological department Of
the N. D. Agricultural college, who
stopped over in Minot on his way to
Fargo, stated that a method of exter-
minating gophers and ground SPUR
rels that would eventually wipe out
these pests in the northwest has been
evolved.
This news is of more than ordinary
interest to farmers of the Flickertail
state, as gophers and ground squir-
rels have long been n of the great
est pests to agriculturalists and have
caused enormous damage in the des.
truction of grain.
Professor Bell would not disclose
the new method, declaring it would be
later announced for the benefit Of the
public after further experiments have
been made.
Professor Bell has long been work
ing with the bureau of the Biological
Survey on the best method of Kidding
the country of gophers. DR.. A. X.
Fisher, head of the Economic division
Of the biological survey, s. E. Piper Of
the same bureau and Professor Bell
have been making an inspection in
various parts Of the oltate. The coun'
try in the neighborhood of Bottineau
and Lansford was the latest field for
their Investigations.

is in itself a gain. All Of these are

Representatives Of Contracting
Firms in Consultation With
Business Men.

Fargo, NaD::, Aug. 2S.-since artifi
cial ice plants are becoming more pre-.
valent throughout the country even
in the northernmost climes, there is
a possibility that Fargo may have one
installed here.
At least such a thing has been in
contemplation and Alexander Harri-
sen of Minneapolis, contractor and
builder of artificial ice factories and
cold storage plants, is in the city to.
day in consultation with leading bus.
mess men, commercial club officials
and thepow3ers of the Fargo Detroit
Ice Co.
Nearly every city Of any conse.
quence in the United States has done
away with natural ice and supports
an artificial ice plant of some descrip.
ton. Even the growing cities Of
Alaska, where natural ice is plentiful
almost the entire year round, now
have artificial ice plants.
