RAIN GENERAL

The rain, which recently vi
sited this section of the state,
will go a long way towards in
suring good crop this fall.
A good crop means much to
all. When crops are poor there
is no money in the country and
business in all branches is at "A
stand still. Now. that a crop
is assured, the farmers will
feel better able to get some of
the necessities that they have
been going without for so long.
They will be able to fix up their
old fences, and fence off new
fields, they will build new hog
houses, granaries, houses and
barns, they will build that ma
chinery shed that has been
needed SO long, they will see
their way clear to build that
summer kitchen for the wife.
The PIPER HOWE LUMBER
COMPANY has anticipated all of
these improvements taking
place and have just received
several cars of bright new lum-
Der and have more on the way.
They carry in stock the FA-
NOUS Iowa GATES. Every
farmer should stop at their yard
on Main street, Bottineau, n.
d.. and inspect the gate which
they have hung outside of their
yard. This gate is fully guar
anteed for three years and the
Piper Howe Lumber company
will let anyone take a gate
home and use it for SIXTY
DAYS and if it is not entirely
satisfactory in every way. it
can be returned at no expense
to the buyer.
The PIPER HOWE LUMBER
COMPANY have the stock on
hand to ill all their wants,
their prices are right and any
one will make mistake who
does not call on them when in
need of any building material
before buying elsewhere.

FIRE BOYS WON
$l8I PRIZE MONEY
Barred From Taking First MOsey lr
Hook and Ladder Races -Casselt0n
and natten Close CompstIievs

The Bottinean fire depart
ment's hose team returned Fri
day evening from the annual
tournament of the North Da-
kOta tiremen's association held
at Lisbon. They repeated
their performance of 1912 in
Williston and 1913 in Bismarck
bv winning first prize in all
hose company contests. In
addition to the hose contests
they were allowed this year to
enter the hook and ladder races
but were barred from taking
first money on account of not
being entered as a hook and
ladder company. In some of
these hook and ladder contests
they made better time than
their competitors but were on
ly allowed second money for
! the reason above stated. In
the combination race, which
requires hose company and
hook and ladder company COM
bined, they won first money
with HattOn and second money
with Rugby.
The boys had hard competi-
! tiOn this year and were it not
for their hard training at home
and the fact that they were in
the best possible condition at
the time of the races they
could not have made so good
showing. CasseltOn was their
closest competitor in the hose
races, taking most of the sec
ond money, while Hatton gave
them hard work in the hook
and ladder contests.
The total amount of. prize
money won by the boys at Lis
bon was $lSl. 1t cost them
about $4,000 to make the trip
so it is plain the fire depart
ment does not look upon these
tournaments as money making
schemes. We venture the as
sertion, however, that nothing
has advertised our city through
out the state in the last three
years as our fire department at
these annual tournaments.
The boys say they had a very
enjoyable time. Lisbon is "A
beautiful city situated in the
valley of the Cheyenne river.
1t contains many points of in
terest, among which is the
Soldiers Home. The only
thing to be regretted is the
accident to Chief Neville, who
sprained his ankle in the first
race. 1t is bad sprain and
will probably lay him up for
some time.
The boys were met at the
train by the band on their re-
turn Friday evening and es-
COrted to the fire hall.

111O pounds and the last year
gave 1854 pounds of milk that
contained 414 pounds of butter.
This COW was used to illustrate
the type of cow that produces
calves that are good beef ami
mails and that gives a fair
amount of milk. The Short
horn steer was two and one
If years old and weighed
1925 pounds. This animal was
used to illustrate the type of
animal that is wanted for beef
productions. 1t makes the
cuts of meats that the highest
prices are paid for.
The Yorkshire SOW was a
fine type of the bacon type, be-
ing long and deep in body. This
one had produced tifty-nine
pigs in five litters and was five
years old; weighed 600 pounds.
The Berkshire barrow was a
good type of the lard hog.
The Southdown and Shrop-
shire wethers illustrated good
types of sheep. The Southdown
grade was for illustrating what
can be done in grading up.
The grandmother of this eve
was a range eve that had
been bred to a Southdown and
her lamb again bred to a South
fdown and it would be hard to
tell her from a pure bred.
Prof. J. H. Shepperd, agri-
culturist of the North Dakota
experiment station, was in
charge of the train. He was
assisted by !. 6. Hoke, special
livestock agent Of the North
Dakota experiment station: +.
] Thompson animal husband
man, A. f. Nelson, county
representative for Steele coun-
ty, w. Fl. Peters of the Nanito-
ba agricultural college. Ruel
Viii and Walter Baumgartel,
the two N. ID. n. &. students
who defeated the university of
California in a debate last win
ter are also assisting on the
train.
1t was brought out in the
talks that farmers could secure
as good stock as that carried
on the train and at but little
more cost than common stock.
The way to do this is for sever
al farmers to go together and
get a pure bred sire and use it
on their herds. In this way
the pure bred sire will cost no
more than the common sire in
case each farmer keeps one.
Two crosses of the pure bred
sire will give animals about as
good as the pure bred for pro-
duction though not for breed
ing. Good stock will bring
more money as they are more
what the market demands and
II a good many are raised in
the community the market will
be still better as large num-
ber of animals of uniform type
brings the market, while other
animals even though just az
good can usually not be sold to
/ a. good advantage.
This il the FIRST purely live
stock demonstration that he's
been run in the state. {

Sandstrom Makes His Statement 10
the Voters

In recent interview with a
representative of The Courant,
MIR. l.. p. Sandstrom, candidate
for the republican nomination
for state senator from the 28th
Legislative district, furnished
us the following statement OF
his stand on public issues:
Being candidate tor the
Office of State Senator from this
district, l herewith submit to
you the following principles in
which | believe, and the use OF
which, if elected, l shall strive
to bring about:
Taking out of politics all
fcounty offices, making the elec.
ton of these officers entirely
non-partisan. This will pre-
vent politicians from forcing
line-ups, and put the jobs en-.
tirelv on the merit system,
The reduction of the interest
rate.
The retention of the Tax
Com mission for the present.
l Ipledge myself to the sup
port of the Initiative, the Re-
ferendum and the Recall.
Eight years ago when my
opponent fret entered politics
and the great fight was on
what little influence L had at
that time was lent in changing g
the conditions that then exist
ed. l have always believed in
clean politics, and thoug h we
may differ on some propositions
l believe that l am as progress
sive as my opponent. His ef-
fort to bottle me up and la bel
me THE Stalwart Candidate"
and his talk about the "circula-
ton of deliberate falsehoods,
etc." are written for no other
purpose than to play on the
sympathies of the voter, and
create prejudice against my
candidacy.
Since coming into the
sheriff's office l have not been
the sheriff of any gang or
clique. l believe my record in
this capacity warrants my say
ing that l have conducted the
office without fear or favor. If
elected Senator from this dist
rict, l expect to white away
in the same fashion.
No, the fight right now is be-
tween Mr.. Garden and myself.
l know the voters of Bottineau
county will not be misled by
his charge that l represent
gang politics. l shall adhere
to the principles that l have al
ways upheld, and l shall not
try to ride into office on the
coat tails of anyone.
Personally, l expect to vote
for A. ]. Gronna for y. S.
Senator, L. B. Hanna for gov
ernor. and Geo. NJ. Young for
congress, and l do this of my
own volition. But l am not
burning any gasoline trying to
instruct the electors on these
propositions. / believe they
will use their conscientious
judgement as their guide. |
shall stand on my own feet. For,
if the people shall truly rule
and they will every man must
subscribe his own opinion at
the polls, and I shall be per-
fectly satisfied to ACCEPT that
opinion 40 the verdict.
Respectfully.
IL. A. II. =. Sandstrom.

COUNTY FAIR MAY Be
HELD At BALL PARK

The efforts of the White Pine
control of the Ely baseball grounds
are destined to meet with success
d. c. Mcdonald, who interviewed the
owners of the amusement park, re-
ported at a meeting Wednesday nighi
that Manager Arthur Smith of the
Ely Securities company and Manager
r. H. Hoffman of the Ely Lumber
& Coal company were heartily in
sympathy with the fair movement,
and were willing to enter into any
agreement that was reasonable in lis
nature for the taking over of the
park.
ID. C. Mcdonald, j. II. Gallagher
and w. f. Collins were designated
as a committee to have an agreement
drafted. and secure necessary legal
advice.
That the outside portions of the
county are enthused over the move
ment for a county fair was evidenced
from remarks made by Peter Lauer-
itzen of Preston. He stated that
ranehers living in the White River
Valley would take an active interest
in the fair, and would be well rep
resented with exhibits.
Thomas F. McGeary asserted that
the fair would benefit city and coun-
try alike. and would have a tenden-
cy TO promote a more friendly feel
ing between the different portions of
the county.
w. E. Collins declared that the
fair would afford an opportunity for
the collection of a suitable exhibit
for the Panama-Pacific exposition at
San Francisco next year.
The willingness of the school of
agriculture at the state university to
send an expert to deliver a number of
lectures on subjects of interest to
farmers during fair week vas also
discussed.
An effort will be made to obtain
exhibits of improved farm machinery
and it is probable that the visitors
Will have an opportunity to see mod
ern pumping plants, gasoline engines
and centrifugal pumps in operation.
