A BIG CONTEST
YOUNG VS. RuSCO

There was a land contest royal on
at the Dickinson u. S. land office on
Monday. The action was started by
Harry J. Young, a former N. P. ma
chinist at Dickinson, against Herbert
R. Rusco, who filed on homestead
in the vicinity of Quinion last year.
The land in question was filed on in
1908 by Joe Memel. It had been one
of the line camps on the old Massacre
& Simpson range. The filing was re-
linquished in favor of Mr.. Cameron of
Belfeld prior to the time the Rusco
filing was made.
Herbert russo, who had been
around these parts three or four
years, went into Wyoming last fall
to get some horses and the first thing
he knew he was thrown into the pen
for a year. He claims the horses were
his but he was not in position to
prove it.
What appears to be the vital point
at issue now is, did Rusco establish
residence on the land on which he
filed? The fact that the man is i'm
prisoned does not injure his case.
The case had a turn at Medora a
few weeks ago.
Among the witnesses and interested
parties who were on hand Monday
we're: ]. A. Belden, Bert Townsend,
Bill Precise, Clarence Snow, Gene
Northrup, Joe Quinion, Joe Meime]
and Carl Brant.
Attorney H. E. Haney represented
the Young side, while Paul Lebo, Of
Ray & Lebo, looked after the Rusco
interests.

ClARk'S BULLETIN ON
PLANT LIFE IN n, D,

J. Allen Clark, an alumnus of the
North Dakota Agricultural college,
but now scientific assistant in the Of
fee of cereal Investigations, Bureau of
Plant Industry at Washington, D. c.,
is the author Of one of the very lat
est bulletins off of the government
press. Mr.. Clark is also in charge of
The cooperative work with cereals at
the Dickinson sub-station. This CO.
operative work has been carried on by
the bureau of plant industry and the
North Dakota experiment station.
The object of these cooperative in
vestigations were (1) to improve the
wheat industry in the Northern Plains
region by discovering and producing
varieties better than those now
grown, especially with regard to nj
trogen content, yield, earliness
drough resistance, etc.; (2) to con-
duct similar experiments with oats,
barley and other cereals when it may
be desirable.
This bulletin is compilation Of the
work that has been done along the
above lines. The major part of the
work which has been conducted since
1907, has had to do with the testing
and Improvement OF cereal Vaf1eC1eS.
The usual size Of the plats on which
the tests were conducted was one
tenth of an acre. Check plats were
used to determine the soil variations.
The varietal tests included So varie-
ties and strains Of wheat, 36 of spring
oats, 16 of barley, and a number of
varieties of winter wheat, winter and
spring rye, and emmer. Results show
that spring varieties of all the cereals
except rye are better adapted than
the winter varieties.
Besides the field plats, nursery ex-
periments have been conducted. These
comprise four main groups: ~ Va
rietal tests, (2) pure-line selections,
including head rows and increase
rows; (3) crosses; and (4) miscella-
neous, including date, rate and depth
Of planting tests, seed treatment, etc.
This cereal nursery has afforded an
opportunity for growing larger
number of varieties and selections
than could be included in field plats.
Considerable crossing has been done
in an attempt to originate new and
better varieties. -.

SHOOT FOR GILBERT CUP

The local shot gun enthusiasts are
getting their shooting irons limbered
up to be ready for the handicap
match for the Gilbert silver, gold
lined cup Sunday, March IA. Recog-
nizing the necessity of making it pos
sible for Mr.. Gilbert's thousands of
friends throughout the country to
participate in his Twentieth Ami
versary Celebration of the time spent
with the DUPONT Powder Company,
the company has arranged to donate
beautiful loving cup to such gun
clubs as will hold a "Fred Gilbert
Shoot" during the week of March 18th
to goth, inclusive Of both days.
The conditions under which these
cups lover 250 are being shot for)
will be donated are: A club may Sc
lect one day during the above period
as the date on which it will hold a
"F'red Gilbert Shoot" and agree to
have at least ten entries shoot pro-
gram of 100 or more targets. Con-
testants for the trophy may shoot the
powder of their choice.
Mr.. Gilbert has been with the
DUPONT company since 1895. He has
been and is considered the greatest
all-round shot on target and pigeons
the world has ever seen, and some of
the best records ever made are still
standing to his credit. There is pos
sible chance that Mr.. Gilbert will be
present at the State Tournament to
be held here the last three days in
June.

HUSBAND IS ARRESTED
DIDN'T SUPPORT WIFE

Justice Walter Sterland had a de-
sertion case up for consideration the
first of the week. Mrs. Katherine
Bell, who had been living with her
parents in the vicinity of Miles City
the past two years or so, appeared
recently and through her attorney, H.
A. Burgeson, caused the arrest of
Henry Bell, whom she had married in
Stark county a few years ago. 1t
seems that soon after the marriage
the husband picked up and went into
Canada. The young wife and child
went with her parents. Subsequently
Henry Bell returned to Stark. Even
tually the wife found out about his
return, with the result that he was
nabbed.
Divorce papers are signed and the
mother and child get $1,000.

Rotterdam, March 2i.--A new and
highly important phase of the German
blockade Of England dawned on Thurs
day, when the submarine U-2S. which
for some time has been cruising in the
neighborhood nf the Mas Lightship,
held up. captured and confscated two
Dutch steamers, the Batavicr Y, of Rot
terdam, and the Zaanstroom, of the
Dutch Shipping Company. of Amster-
dam, and successfully conveyed them
TO Zecbrugge in broad daylight.
For some days the U-2S has been
Shcltering under the lee OF the Mas
Lightship and taking n toll of all ship
ping, making special effort to sink
every English boat that came along.
On Thursday morning she put into OPP
Grafton the new plans of the German
Admiralty, and began to capture and
confiscate ncutrals and take their pro-
visions.
The Batavier V left Rotterdam late
OH Wednesday night and lay off the
Hook of Holland until dawn. About 5
o'clock she moved off toward England
with a cargo of provisions and crew
and passengers totalling fifty-seven, in
cluding several women and children.
All went well until they were six
miles southwest of the Mas Light
ship, when the submarine suddenly
appeared on the surface and ordered
the boat to stop. Captain Lindeman,
knowing when the Batavier V WAS last
stopped that she was allowed TO 60. at
once complied, only to find that this
time she was to be confiscated.
Protest from the Captain.
1t was still gray dawn when the sub
marine drew alongside and the com
mander shouted: 81 am going TO con-
fiscate your ship and take her 20 Zee
bruggc." The captain protested that
he was neutral. and the conversation
was proceeding, when another ship,
the Zaanstroom, appeared on the ho-
rizon.
The submarine Immediately dashed
off after her and ordered her TO stop,
but she took no notice. The sub
marine fired at her with q quick firing
gun. a small shell passing close to her
bows. The captain thereupon stopped.
Meanwhile an officer and a sailor had
been placed on board the Batavier Y
to prevent her escaping, and the same
plan was carried out on the Zasn

Austrians Resume Military
Operations Against Servia

London, March 21.-Resumption Of
military operations by Austria against
Servia is indicated in message from
Nish received here to-day by the
Servisn Legation. The telegram fol-
lows:
"In an artillery duel near Belgrade
on the morning Of March IS our guns
showed superiority over those of the
enemy. whose fire was devoid of re-
suit. although artillery of very heavy
calibrc was used.
"Our artillery destroyed numerous
boats gathered at Port Afadakale, near
Prehava, and sank a pontoOn bridge
at Orchava.
"The precision Of our fire soon
silenced the enemy in slight artll-
lery duel near Swederevo.'

He said the subway and Manhattan elc-
waited third rail locations were different
from those on the new transit lines in
Queens and in the Steinway tunnel, and
hence a compromise location for the
third rail in the tunnel had to be
found by the engineers. This problem
hs- been solved, and the placing Of
the third rail in the tunnel, one OF ths
most important parts Of the work YET
TO be done, can be started very soon.
1t will be completed In accordance with
the terms of the contract.
The commission has directed the pur-
chase of twelve steel cars for operation
in the tunnel, and these have been
ordered and will be delivered the lat
ter part of April.

Petrograd. March 81 The capture
Of Memcl by the Russians, after an
impetuous charge and much street
fighting. is regarded generally as i'm
portant because of it's moral effect and
because il seems TO prove that the
Germans. when concentrating or any
point. arc compelled TO leave other por-
tions of their frontier open TO penetrs-
tion. The forces engaged on either
side In the Memel operations were not
large. and its strategic importance to
the Russians is small, since the city is
isolated by a Swampy territory along
the Niemen untitled for operations on
large scale.
The retreat Of the German garrison
from Memcl is endangered by another
Russian column advancing from Tau
roggen toward Tilsit. which appears
likely to cut Off the Germans progress
southwark. This Russian column seems
TO have for its objective new attempt
upon Tilsit.
OF more Importance than the occu-
patton Of Memel is the Russian activ-
ity on the left bank of the Niemen.
where the net results of recent engage
mentS has been. TO clear German in
vaders from Russian territory from the
general region of Seiny TO Kopsiovo, on
the Grodno-SuWalki road. The last two
davs have seen the Germans forced
back twenty miles TO the west from

German Defeat Near Narew.

Activity in the vicinity of the Ma
rev continues. and an important en-
gagement took place yesterday ten
miles south of Myszyniec, on the road
TO Ostrolenks. Here the Germans un-
dertook an attack in three columns
from the Myszynicc side, but the as
ssult ended in a defeat for them.
The German bombsrdment of Osso-
wetz is continuing much longer than
was expected by the Russian military
authorities. To-day's reports indicate
that the artillery duel still is in prog
ress. but it is said that the German
fire is losing force.
On a recent sortie from PrZemysl
the garrison opened the heaviest and
most continuous artillery fire which
has been waged since the siege began.
Twenty thousand shells are said to
have been fired in twenty-four hours.
The Russians believe the defenders Of
the fortress have decided to exhaust
their stock of ammunition rather than
risk its capture by the Russians should
the fortress fall. The attempt of an
Austrian force to break through from
the Carpathians to the relief Of
Przemysl in connection with this sor'ie
is reported to have failed.
