EXCESS BAGGAGE

Rail Commissioners to De.

ances on July rs.

Fargo. N. D., July 10.-North Da-
kota travelling men will be particularly
pleased at the action of the state board
of railway commissioners in granting
a ~rehearing of the excess baggage
rate case affecting the recent order Of
the commission demanding the res
toration to sale Of excess baggage
coupon books or a reduction of ex-
cess baggage rates to 10 per cent Of
the first class fare.
The %rehearing will be held July 2s,
and in the meantime the order will
tand suspended.
The state commission completed its
business in Fargo late this afternoon,
and probably will return to Bismarck
this evening.
Carl Butke. chairman of the board
Of supervisors of Buffalo township,
Cass county was given a hearing by
Butke raised further objections to the
overhead and grade crossings on the
n. P. railway near Buffalo, which
have received the attention of the
board of previous occasions.
Engineering problems made 1t diff
ncult for the railway company to
build its two lines on the same grade,
and the Buffalo township supervisors
declare that the present arrangement
interferes with the road grade and is
especially hazardous. Many improve
ments have been made by the railway
company since the first objections
were raised before the railway COM
mission, but the township board is
anxious for further improvements,
and the commission has taken the
matter under consideration.

Rugby, N. D., July 1o.-A. p. Hem
derson, field agent Of the better farm

tineau, visited in Rugby for several
days.
Mr.. Henderson is an important fig
ure among the farmers of Bottineau.
county and they have SO come to real
ize the value Of their better farming
agent that they could not get along
without him. Since the establishment
of this experiment station at Bot
tineau, the agent in charge has con
tinually advocated the growth Of al
falfa and insisted that it could be
grown successfully and at a large
profit until today Mr.. Henderson in
Formed us that there are over 5000
acres of Bottineau county land plant
ed to alfalfa. This is indeed a great
forage plant and farmers all over the
middle west are beginning to realize
the great value of it and the acreage
Of alfalfa in increasing tremendously
each season.
Some of our farmers are already
growing 1t and we hope to see many
more devote some, Of their, extensive
acres to the cultivation Of this plant.
The time is coming when dairying will
be as great an industry in North Da-
kota as wheat growing has been, and
dairying without alfalfa will be about
as profitable as bees without honey.
We cannot get the clover crops that
Northern Minnesota does, but we can
raise alfalfa, which is considered even
better than clover for the production
of butter fat.

rescue Of Lee Piper of the Piper-Howe

day afternoon by several little Boy
Scouts. has just become known.
Piper was swimming in the Mouse
river with Champlin when the former
was stricken with an attack Of cramps.
He sank beneath the surface once and
on rising, grabbed young Champlin.
Both of the young men then went
down. On returning to the surface
Champlin e~ndeavored to rescue Piper,
but was unable to complete the task
alone.
Three or four little Boy Scouts who
appeared on the bank formed a hu-

the half-drowned swimmers to the
shore. The two young men revived
soon after the e tragedy.
The names of the brave little Boy
Scouts who participated in the res
cue could not be learned today.
