HUNTERS AND
CHICKENS SCARCE
HUNDREDS WERE OUT ON THE
OPENING DAY-NO ACCIDENTS
IN THIS VICINITY.

Everyone who owned a gun or who
could borrow or rent one of the shoot
ing irons, journeyed to the fields on
Tuesday, the opening day of the hunt
ing season. Hundreds journeyed out
from the city the day before, and
others rode half the night in order
to be on the ground at the break OF
day. Every automobile in the city
was commandeered by the army Of
hunters and throughout the prairies
and in the hills, the sound of the guns
could be heard from daylight until
dark.
While practically everybody brought
back some game, all agree that chic
kens are far from plentiful, in fact
they are very scarce. Hundreds OF
hunters, after tramping the fields for
hours in vain, drove to the lakes
where they contented themselves with
bagging ducks. Even ducks are
growing more scarce every year, and
if we are to have any hunting in this
vicinity within the next ten years.
greater restrictions will have to be
made.
There were no serious hunting acci-
dents in this vicinity. Everybody had
a good time.

POSTAL INSURANCE.

On September l, 1915, postal or
der went into effect which is some
thing new. It provides special fees
for the insurance of fourth-class mail
valued up to $1O0. The order, which
should be carefullyastudied or clipped
for future reference, is as follows:
Fourth class mail shall not be reg
istered, but may be insured against
loss in an amount equivalent to its
actual value, but not to exceed SIS in
any one case, on payment of fee of
g cents; not to exceed S25 on payment
of fee of scents; not to exceed $50
on payment of fee of 10 cents, and
not to exceed S100 on payment of a
fee of 25 cents, in addition to the post
age, both to be prepaid by stamps af
fixed, but indemnity will not be al
lowed in cases of such mail addressed
to the Philippine Islands, unless the
loss occurred in the postal service OF
the United States.'

BABE LEFT ON
ROY P|ERCE'S PORCH
FOUR WEEKS OLD BOY FOUND
BY GREAT NORTHERN ENGI-
, NEER - STRANGER AS X E ID
PIERCE WHOSE CHILD WAS
CRYING,

Wrapped in an old overcoat, a fine,
healthy baby boy Of three or four
weeks of age, was found on the front
porch at the home Of Roy Pierce, a
Great Northern engineer, at 209 4th
street N. w., at about five o'clock this
morning.
Mr.. Pierce had just been called by
the call boy to go out on No. 4 and a
few moments later, young man,
whose identity is not known, appear
ed at the Pierce home and rapping on
the door, asked Mr.. Pierce if he knew
there was baby on his front porch.
He said he had heard the child crying.
Mr.. Pierce was somewhat startled, but
took the child into the house, where it
was made comfortable.
The child was we'll dressed, was
covered with a pretty little blanket,
and was provided with nipple and
bottle containing some sweetened wat
er. The little babe is said to be a
beautiful child and will undoubtedly
find good home. The child will be
under the supervision of Juvenile
Court Officer John E. Burke. An eff
fort will be made to learn the identity
of the babe.
Mr.. Pierce left the city on No. for
his regular run.

and by using the right kind of persua-

Mr.. and Mrs. Elsberry arrived home
in time to enjoy the last chapter of
the story and to extend congratula-
tions to Mr.. Sorenson and his assist
ant. After the animal had been placed
in the barn, an inventory of the barn
yard was taken. A buggy was found

ORDERS new SCHOOL
HOUSE TO Be BUILT
JUDGE LEIGHTON ISSUED WRIT
OF MANDAMUS ORDERING d.
RECTORS OF BELL DISTRICT
TO CONSTRUCT NEW BUILD.
ING.

A writ of premptory mandamus was
issued out Of Judge Leighton's court
ordering the school board of Bell
school district No. 10 to build a school
house in the northwestern section of
the district to accommodate approx
mately twenty-five school children.
Claims were made that the children of
that section of the district were iso-
lated, making it exceedingly hard for
them to attend school. The school
board consists of Thorwald Mostad,
D. j. Mahoney and Oliver Saugstad.
Mr.. Mahoney, it is understood, favored
the building of the school.
w. H. Sibbald appeared for the pc
titioners and Halvor L. Halvorson for
the respondents. The voters of the
district had rejected the proposition
to move one of the school buildings
and to build new one, yet the court
has the power to step in, in certain
cases, and order a building construct

NORTHERN PRODUCE
CREAMERY BURNED
SATURDAYS FIRE DID $4,000
DAMAGE TO LOCAL PLANT -
WILL BE REBUILT AT ONCE.

Fire Saturday last at the old Hen
Grated by the Northern Produce Com
pany, practically destroyed the main
building and damaged the equipment
to such an extent that the entire plant
will have to be rebuilt.
Two employees were at work in the
receiving rooms of the creamery at
the time and the first intimation they
had of the fire was when a passerby
ran into the room and informed the
men that the roof of the engine room
was all abfazc. One of the men CROP
ed his way to the telephone and sent
in the call for the fire department.
They responded promptly and within
short time after their arrival the
fire was under control, but the rapid
combustion of a place of this character
had been such as to practically de-
stroy all the more valuable machinery
and equipment before the fire was
brought under control.
Manager w. II. Hendrix informs
the independent that steps will be
taken at once to rebuild and as soon as
it can be determined whether it will
be worth while to repair the old build
ing or build new, they will proceed
at once to the erection Of a plant that
will be a credit to the city and q model
and up-to-date plant N every respect.
He says that shippers may continue
their shipments as usual as they have
made arrangements to care for all
produce that may be consigned to
them. whether it be cream, butter or
eggs The creamery being located
some distance from their warehouse,
they are in no wise disconnected in
regard to products shipped in from
outside points.
Mr.. Hendrix estimates the loss in
Saturdays fire in excess of $4,000.
The Northern Produce Co. is one Of
the growing concerns of the city, do
ing an enormous business in their line
at all seasons of the year. One day
last week their receipts of eggs alone
were three carloads. A force of can
dlers are busily engaged in examining
and grading the eggs, both night and
day. Butter shipped to the Boston ex-
change is rated first class and graded

MAD CR|TTfR Goes
ON A RAMPAGE
HOLSTEIN OF THE MALE PERSU-
ASTON RAISED RUMPUS AT
ELLSBERRY FARM-BlLLY EHR
3TREED AND J. A. SORENSON
PROVED HIMSELF A HERO.

u. E. Ellsberry, breeder of regis
tered Holstein, owns an animal of the
male persuasion and thereby hangs a
tale. Mr.. and Mrs. Elsberry left the
Riverside Dairy Farm Sunday evening
for an auto ride, leaving their daugh-
ters to "run the ranch" 1t became
pitch dark, and the girls hearing a
terrific noise in the barn yard, con-
cluded that they were about to re-
ceive visit from burglars. Becom-
ing greatly alarmed, they telephoned
for assistance to the Ehr farm, and
VIM. Ehr was routed out of bed, MAX
ing a record run to the Elsberry farm.
BILLY" was prepared for burglars,
but he didn't expect them to below
nor to wear horns, and when he sensed
the hot breath from the maddened
creature on the bosom of his best
Sunday trousers, he ran pell nell to
the house. The girls thinking "Bil-
ly" had the burglar on the run, met
him at the door with the shot gun.
There wasn't much choice between the
weapon and what was pursuing him,
so he kept right on going and landed
safely within doors. The animal pro-
ceeded to tear up the porch and the
occupants of the house took refuge
up stairs. They ventured down later
and telephoned to Major Persons Elm

gentle Guernseys are bred, for J. A.

C. of C. are doubly benefited, (b)
are farmers doubly benefited?
Mr.. V nretends YES. I say NO.

are farmers doubly benefited?
Mr.. V. pretends YES. say NO.
1t is a principle of economics that
when different classes handling the
same thing under similar conditions,
but benefited in different ratios, that
those receiving the larger shares alb
sorb values which belong to the other
class. Hence if he cannot show that
farmers are EQUALLY BENEFIT
TED with other classes then his ar
gument fails, regardless of the freight
rates figures he may assume.
If am in error on the freight rates
then I have been misinformed by a
line elevator man. However, I shall
make inquiry of the R. R. and publish
it that farmers may know just what
the marginal difference should be.
Now, if Mr.. Vandenoever is sincere,
let him answer the following ques-
tions, viz:
(1.) Is the object of the tariff law
to look after the PRICE or PRODUC-
TION?
(2.) In fighting the reduction of
the rate of interest, did the bankers
and you have an object to keep up the
price (rate of interest) or to increase
the number of dollars?
(3.) Is it not the prime object of
trusts and monopolies to increase the
PRICE or the PRODUCTION?
a. Do manufactures shut down
to affect the PRICE, or increase the
PRODUCTION?
(5.) Did the R. R. companies in
their appeal to the I. C. C. ask for a
consideration or increase of PRICE
or PRODUCTION (hauling)
(6.) Do you consider the labor
unions should ask for more wages
(price) or more production (work)
(7.) Does not the reduction of &c
cents per bushel on wheat during the
past three weeks demonstrate to you
that farmers ought to FIRST look tt
the PRICE for betterment?
(8.) Do you deny that the "cost Of
production and expense plus reason
able profit" should be the price o1
wheat? Or do you claim that farm
ers always get that?
CO., Do you consider that the mar
who produces an article knows more
about the COST TO PRODUCE il
than the man who buys it?
(1O.) If you favor the BUYEF
putting the price on an article as i!
done for farmers, then do you believe
that the price of goods, groceries
implements, lumber, rates Of inter
est, etc., should be made by the buy
ers instead of by the sellers?
All these questions are germane t.
the CONTROL of the price Of an ar
ticle, and pertain to the PRICE com
pared to the PRODUCTION of tn
articles, hence belong to the issue o
contention between US.
Very respectfully,
GEO. T. MURRAY,
Temporarily at Plaza, but perma
nently at Berthold, N. D.

DIED DURING VISIT
TO HIS SON
C. J. REIGHART OF SHELDON,
ILL.,. PASSED AWAY SATUR
DAY AT THE HOME OF HIS
SON, w. H. REIGHART.

C. J. Reighart, of Sheldon, ILL.,, who
arrived about three weeks ago to visit
at the home of his son, w. H. Reig-
hart in this city, passed away Satur-
day at noon after short illness. The
remains, accompanied by the wife of
the deceased and Mr.. and Mrs. Reig-
hart were shipped back to the old
home in Illinois that night for inter-
ment.
The death of the venerable gentle
man is particularly sad. He had visit
ed in Minot once or twice before, and
had looked forward to the time when
he could again be with his son. AL
though he was rs years of age, he ap-
peared very rugged and the first two
weeks he was here proved to be one
of the happiest periods of his long
life. He became i'll but few days
before the end came and although
physicians and nurses labored faith
fully, it was learned that there were
no hopes. The other children were
notified by wire of the condition of
their father, but owing to the long
distance away, it became known that
they would find it impossible to reach
his bedside ahead of the Grim Reaper.
Short funeral services were held at
the Reighart residence Saturday even
ing, Rev. P. w. Erickson, pastor Of the
Presbyterian church, preaching a
short, comforting sermon. The re-
mains were accompanied to the depot
by number of Masons, of which
lodge the deceased had been member
for many years.
Mr.. Reighart was born in Germany,
and when lad of Is, came to Ameri-
ca. living in Ohio during his earlier
years. At the first call to arms dur
ing the civil war, he volunteered his
services and served with credit
throughout the conflict.
Mr.. Reighart was a splendid type
of citizen. During his short visit
in this city, he had endeared himself
to many who sincerely sympathize
with those who have been so sorely
bereaved.

Died Away from Home and Friends.

Died Away from Home and Friends:
Jesse Worth, aged rs years, passed
away at St. Joseph's hospital. The
remains were shipped to the old home,
Spring Arbor, Mich. The young man
was a party of four lads who came to
North Dakota in an auto for an out
ing and to make their expenses work
ing in the harvest fields. The young
man had worked near Anamoose four
days when he became ill with throat
trouble. He was of an excellent fam
lily and his death, occurring away from
home and friends, is particularly sad.

C. A. Fairbanks, of Anamosa, Ia.,

Potatoes Half a Crop.

The Independent learns that there
will be but about half of the usual po-
tato crop this year. We know of a
number of farmers who will have to
buy potatoes. In some localities the
Weld is fair but some of the fields
were badly damaged. Potatoes will
be high the coming winter. They are
worth fifty to sixty cents bushel now
and will be worth fully dollar a
bushel later. A year ago, they were
selling for Is and 80 cents and reached
sixty cents during last winter.
