HAS VERY OLD NEWSPAPER

Mrs. Hanks, who lives south OF Os-
wego, has a great relic in the form OF
newspaper, the Ulster County Gaz-
cite, printed at Kingston, New York,
on January 4th, 1900. The paper was
issued every three months, and in this
issue we notice the obituary OF our
first president, George Washington,
whose death occurred on December IA,
1893.
The following is an advertisement
taken from the Gazette, which Will
seem rather queer to the readers OF
today: "For sale-the one-half OF a
sawmill, with convenient place Tor
building, lying in the town OF Rocn-
ester. By the mill is an inexhaustlble

BAD THRESHING ACCIDENT

While hauling bundles for thresh-
ing outfit. the fourteen-y year-old SON
of F. A. Strong, of Dooley, met with
a horrible accident last week.
While unloadig bundles at thresh-
ing outfit just across the Canadian
line from Dooley, the lad stepped to
the edge of his rack and stood on
rotten board. The timber broke and
the boy was thrown into the feeder
of the separator. Before help could
reach him or the machine stopped, one
leg was chopped and cut almost to the
knee and the other was cut in several
places.
The only conveyance at hand was a
wagon, and the boy was placed in this
and rushed to Dooley, fifteen miles
away. A doctor was summoned from
Plentywood, but when he arrived the
boy was dead from loss of blood.

T. w. WIS AT PLENTYWOOD

A small sized riot occurred at Plen-

boarded a Great Northern freight
train and attempted to steal a ride to
Bainville. The crew made the discov-

tempted to put them off and merry
free-for-all ensued.
Three brakemen, Bill Wyatt, A. >.
Shelly and James Harvey, were pretty
badly used up by the 'boes. Wyatt
was hit on the head with rock and
received several scratches on the head,
and other members of the crew were
more or less marked up.
Deputies Cook and Matthews were
called from the sheriff's office and
with Chief of Police Carney took the
pugilistic wanderers to the city lock-
up. Several citizens appeared on the
scene with shotguns.
1t is thought that the men came
from the 500 line, where they caused
numerous fights among the threshine
crews in the western part OF Nortf
Dakota and Eastern Montana. Wher
the men were searched, no guns were
found. but each one had varied as

THOUSANDS FILE
ON FREE LAND
Local Land Office Doing Record
Business.
GLASGOW DISTRICT FIRST
More Entries and Final Proofs in
This District Than Any Other.
Enormous Receipts.

New records are being set by the
local laHl office IN the amber of
homestead entries and final proofs,
and the year ending in July, 1915. will
undoubtedly outstrip any former one.
That land in this district is much
sought after may be judged from. the
number of homestead applications re-
ceivtd al the local office. Durinr :iit
fiscal year ending July 1st, 1915, 5179
applications for homestead entry were
received. Not all of the applications
can be classed as entries, as some
were rejected, but the big majority of
them were acted on favorably.
During that time approximately
1000 homesteaders appeared before
the officers Of the land office here or
before United States commissioners
and made final proof. AS the greater
part of the land in this district comes
under the enlarged homestead act, in
round numbers the amount of land
thus becoming assessable amounts to
over 100000 acres.
Since July first there have been
1884 filings, which is a great deal
heavier than for that period last year.
The big crops raised in this part Of
the state this year should also be big
aid in attracting new settlers here and
although there is a steady influx, by
next spring every available piece OF
government land will be sought by
homeseekers.
During the last fiscal year the re-
ceipts amounted to 1929, 1888, and
for the months of July, August and
September of this year the receipts
have been $78,185.63.
Those who might think that land II
Eastern Montana is not in great de-
mand have but to become acquainted
with the heavy business done at thu
land office and they will become con
vinced that it will not be long before
free homestead land will be thing O.

HARVESTING BIG CROPS
North Country Farmers Report Heavy
Yields of Grain.

Yields of Grain.
During the last three weeks of ideal
Indian summer weather, farmers in
Northeastern Montana have succeeded
in getting the larger part of their
crop threshed and in the granary.
In the north country, however,
threshing rigs with full crews dot the
landscape at regular intervals and are
working at full speed to have the last
bushel of grain threshed before the
snow falls. Several weeks more will
be needed before the entire crop is
threshed, the work being much slower
this year because of the heavy straw.
Reports of big yields come in daily,
averaging from 20 to so bushels of
wheat to the acre. Only few farm
ers have reported yields of about 20
bushels and these were caused by
smut and weedy fields.
In the Opheim country E. T. Maurer
reports yield of 60 bushels of oats to
the acre, 80 bushels of wheat and II
bushels of flax. Flax on N. M. Boe's
place made "a 1-2 bushels and on the
Krauth place, 23 bushels to the acre.
The Opheim Optimist says that
Henry and Bill Niehoff finished their
shock threshing last Thursday and
had a yield of 10000 bushels of oats,
wheat, barley and flax and they have
over 5000 bushels left in the stack.
Henry Niehoff was the happiest man
in the north country when he finished
threshing. He figures that it will take
! year to market the crop, hauling
five loads week.
Around Baylor, c. D. Jenkins
threshed 80 bushels of oats to the acre
and his wheat went % bushels. Flax
in that neighborhood is making from
16 to 20 bushels.
Probably one of the largest yields
of oats in the north country was that
of George Wright, of Avondale, who
had twenty acres that averaged bet
ter than ninety-five bushels to thu
acre, machine measure,
Grain of all kinds is also making
excellent yields up in the Richlan(
country and especially is flax proving
