WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. &c.
And once more the federal building
for Honolulu fhe definite selection
OF a site, seemingly Imminent for
weeks, again has taken a back seat.
The question of price for the Irwin
ground apparently has deadlocked the
situation In manner that would
make Houdini feel like child burg

Assistant Secretary Newton, after
his return from Hawaii, made a sug-
gestion to the Irwin site holders and
expected in response to receive q
counter proposition that might be &C
ceptable, or open the door for success

reply caused treasury officials to de-

Z SCHOOL on Foor

A school on foot was in session
for the week July 10th to gath in
Williams County. Forty-eight
boys went on a hike under the di-
rection of E. w. Hall, County Ag-
ent, assisted by Judge A. L. But
Ter in charge Of discipline, w. A.
Peck, County Agent, Ward Coun-
ty and M. B. Johnson, County Ag--
ent, Mckenzie County, in charge
of instruction.
The plan was to hike about
eight miles day, stopping wher-
ever there was an object lesson.
II might be- trees, well or poorly
cared for, crops, barns, silos, hou-
SEES, fences, stock or roads. The
good points as well as where it
lacked were pointed out. To-.
wards the last Of the trip the boys
were discussing everything along
the route. They had learned the
things to look for and they had
good ideas as. to whether the
things served. the purpose for.
which. intended poorly or well.
The hike started from Will

DIAMETER OF THE s,Lo

The diameter of a silo should
be determined by the amount of
ensilage to be fed. If less than

moved daily, moulding is likely to

the greater the depth of ensilage
that should be removed.In winter
~ dairy cows fed 40 pounds a day
will use up the right amount from

would require 10 cows to use up
the amount of ensilage that
should be removed daily. For the

10 in summer; for the Is foot silo

mer. Let the amount of ensilage

be decreased and in some cases
omitted.
Sheep relish small amount of
ensilage, two or three pounds a
Gay is a good amount. Some feed
ers give as high as five or six
pounds.
Horses can be fed ten to fifteen
pounds of ensilage day. 1t has
good deal the same effect on
them as pasture. Hogs like a lit
tie ensilage and especially so if
it contains a good deal of corn.
Ensilage is a bulky food good
deal like pasture in its effect on
the animal. 1t is important that
it be free from mould as this eau
ses trouble. Horses should not
be fed ensilage that has been
frozen, though with other stock
it seems to be all right provided
lit is thawed out before feeding.
Three silos are in use at the
North Dakota Experiment Station.
Good results have been secured in
the feeding of the ensilage.
Ensilage should be cut short.
Half to three quarters of an inch
is better than longer cuts. The
fine cut ensilage will pack better,
which means better keeping and
it also feeds better. 1t takes more
power to cut into short lengths.

OVER 1000 TONS OF ARSENIC

The figures showing the pro-
duction of white arsenic in the
United States in 1914, collected by
Frank L. Hess, of the United
States Geological Survey, indicate
an output amounting to 4,670
short tons, valued at $3l3,i47.
This is somewhat more than was
shown by the preliminary figures,
and exceeds the largest previous
output, that of 1913 (2,5t3 tons,
valued at $l5O,236) by IS per
cent. No direct production Of
white arsenic-that is, no pro-
duction from arsenic minerals
treated primarily for their arsenic
content-has been made in this
country for several years, be-
cause the arsenic saved at the
smelters as q by-product and the
imported material have been SO
plentiful and so cheap that such
production would have been un-
profitable.
The country's arsenic resour-
ces are immense. Deposits of ar
senopyrite, the commonest Of the
arsenic minerals, are found at
many places, only a few Of which
are known to this survey, because

FIRST FURNACE
Blown in at Duluth Steel Plant
Monday

Monday afternoon at $3.50 clock
one of the leading officials of the
Minnesota Steel company lighted
the fires in the great blast furnace
from which the first run of pig
iron will be drawn. The furnace
was blown in at O'Clock Monday
night.
From four days to a week after
the first pig iron is drawn, actual
steel manufacturing will start.
A large quantity of coke has been
prepared and several of the 10
open hearth furnaces are ready.
While the blowing in of the
furnace was done without much
ceremony, the act nevertheless
marks new era in this state.

the higher rate is not justi6able.
1t is the opinion of this Depart
ment, that if there are individual
towns which by reason of proxi
nifty to forests, or by faulty con
struction, the hazard is greater
than the average town, youl
schedule should recognize this in
creased hazard and protect tht

schedules which should take cog
nizance of this local condition.
Therefore, it is ordered tha

CLOSE SALOONS
Hibbing and Chisholm Saloons Go
Out Of Business Tuesday

Judge Page Morris of the Federal
Court at Minneapolis Monday re-
fused to grant temporary injunc-
ton to the 72 saloon men of Hib-
bing and Chisholm against en-
forcement of the prohibition clause
of the Chippewa Indian treaty of
1855. He also ordered vacated the
restraining order granted by him
two weeks ago TO the saloon men
against Chief Officer Henry A.
Larson of the Indian bureau.
Judge Morris, Immediately after
his decision was given, was inn
portuned by Mayor Victor l..
Power of Hibbing, of counsel for
the saloon men, to extend the time
of the restraining order until Satur-
day. 1t would give my clients a
few days to dispose of their stocks
with the least possible loss," he
said.
The court refused to grant the
extension, declaring he had no
authority to set a tirue when the
prohibition order should go into
effect.
The courts decision came after
three sessions of argument and
without Judge Morris leaving the
bench.
The final session was char
acterized by the introduction of a
map drawn in 1885 by Nicolett,
held by many to be the the first
chart of northern Minnesota, and
of two afhdavits by the defense
from two Indians to refute affidavits
previously signed by them for the
saloon men.
The Nicollet map showed the
Fast Swan river, rising in two lakes
northeast of Hibbing and Chisholm
flowing to the east of both villages
to the st. Louis river.

upheld the strongest point oi
