FIFTEEN KEGS OF BEER
DESTROYED IN LANGDON
Sheriff kelIand Carries Out Judge Kneeshaws
Order to Destroy Seizure of Booze

Sheriff kelland had ''killing' on
the court house grounds yesterday
forenoon about ten o. clock, at which
time upon an order received from
Judge Kneeshaw he destroyed a
seizure of fifteen kegs of beer of
which he took possession several
weeks ago in raid made at picnic
in the southwestern part Of the
county. In the prese ce of quite a
- Der of Langdon people Sheriff
Kelland and his deputies, one by one
drove in the heads of the fifteen kegs
Of beer with large maui of the kind
used by stone masons and the contents
allowed to flow on the lawn at the
rear of the court house. The seizure
was one OF the largest that has been
made in the county of late years and
the carrying out of the courts order
made quite aspectacular scene. There
had been quite downpour of rain the
night previous and the ground WASH t
dry enough to soak up the contents of
the kegs as fast as emptied, but
though the ground wasn't suffering
from drouth just then the same con-
dition might not be said to apply to
some of those who attended the
obsequies of the fifteen kegs of beer

VETERAN NIMROD STAYS HONE

Robert Meiklejohn who ranks as
the dean among Langdon hunters
was among the stay-at-homes"
when the chicken shooting season of
1915 opened up at sunrise on Tues
day morning this week. 1t was the
first time in a thirty year residence
here that he has allowed the opening
day of the fall shooting to pass by
without shouldering his gun and going
with his dogs for the initial bag of
prairie chickens and wild ducks. The
cold crowd don't enthuse as they
used to in years ago and perhaps
Bob" had a hunch that chickens are
mighty scarce this year and preferred
to let the younger fellows make the
discovery. Mr.. Meiklejohn has his
license ready and will be on the field
shortly but didn't see any need of the
hurry that seemed to bother some
hunters on Tuesday.

I. I. w, ORGANIZER FAILS
RUN THINGS IN LANGDON
Disturbing Element Among Transient Thresfers
Gets Cool Reception in LanqdOn

With the starting up of several ad-
ditional threshing outfits in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Langdon the early
part of this week the going wage for
men raised from So and So. 25 to
So. SO and in some cases there were
men who held out for even higher
figure. Tuesday the supply of men
was increased when the passenger
from the south unloaded between
seventy and eighty men here seeking
work through the threshing season.
The machines in the immediate neigh
borhood are now running with full
crews, while the disturbing element
of l. w. w. organizers are finding
their places taken at the going wage
by men who will work. Langdon and
the authorities of the town have the
situation we'll in hand and are dispos-
ing of the lawless, idle element which
floats into the west every fall in the
wake of the men who come to earn
honest money at threshing time

EX- LANGDON RESIDENT DIES
IN CANADIAN NORTHWEST
J. D. Sater One of Langdon's Early Pioneers
SuCCumbs to Lingering Sickness

j. D. Salter, a pioneer resident of
the years ago, and more recently
located with members of his family in
Saskatchewan, is reported as having
passed away within the past month,
news of his death having only been
learned by Langdon friends of the
family in the past week. Mr.. Salter
was Langdon's pioneer photographer
and with his family first located in
Langdon more than twenty-five years
ago while his removal from Langdon,
accompanied by Mrs. Salter and the
younger members of the family, fol-
lowed the movement of many from
Cavalier county to the Canadian
Northwest in the early 9O's. His son
Horace, is still resident here, and
another son, William, and married
daughter followed their parents to the
west about two years ago. The de-
ceased made visit of about week
here with old Langdon friends in the
summer of 1913, and was at that
time in very poor health having fallen
away physically great deal since his
leaving Langdon for the west when he
was a rugged healthy man. Mr.. Sal
ter's death is stated as being due to
Bright's disease. Many among the
older residents here will extend to
the bereaved family their heartfelt
sympathy.

NEW GRAIN BUYER AT DRESDEN

Banker ]. A. Terhaar and Robert
Fleming were business visitors Satur-
day from Dresden. Mr.. Fleming
states that he has completed arrange
ments for the reopening of his eleva-
tor at Dresden this fall.s "Bob' has
record as a Cavalier county grain
buyer at towns along the line covering
the past twenty-five years and accord
ing to his judgment, barring the
price, the yield and sample of the
1915 crop is little the best that he
has had anything to do with the hand
ling of. The past three or four years
Mr.. Fleming and his family have been
located in Monroe, Wash, but from
the way in which he talks it would
not surprise us much if the Flemings
again became residents here or at
Dresden.

YIELDS OF MARQUIS WHEAT
NEARLY ONE-THIRD LARGER
Averages From Over County Vary
From Thirty-Eight to Twenty
Bushels Per Acre

Manager Stewart of the Langdon
sub-station experiment farm has dur
ing the week threshed out several
demonstration plats on the farm east
of town, and in the course of a week
or so some very interesting data con-
cerning what systematic and thorough
farming will accomplish will be ready
for publicity. OF the first plats
to be threshed was one that early in
the season had been sown to Marquis
wheat, the crop being put in on plat
that last season had been seeded down
with timothy sod, while the crop of
the preceding year of the six year
rotation had been barley. The Mar
quis wheat plat had through the past
summer been one of the show pieces
to visitors at the farm and when
threshed last week showed a yield of
38a bushels an acre, while in the
weight test it weighed 63 pounds to
the bushel.
Another Marquis wheat result,
which the threshing of this fall is
showing to be highly satisfactory
when it is properly cultivated and
looked after, comes from the farm of
Emil Hanggi in Grey township near
Clyde. Mr.. Hanggi, who by the way
was one of the trophy cup winners in
the farm contest at the county fair
this year, got yield of 34a bushels
of Marquis off a plat Of several acres
that he put in under the direction of
j. w. Haw of the better farming
association. These two instances
come from different sections of the
county and help to demonstrate the
adaptability of Marquis wheat to
almost any soil or climatic condition,
when properly sown on we'll cultivated
land and given the required attention
at harvest time. We expect that the
marked contrast in the yield of the
Marquis variety, when compared with
crops harvested on adjoining fields
where Fife wheat was sown, will con-
vince the skeptical ones that the Mar
quis wheat is we'll qualified to take
the place of the Fife wheat, which
has been the standard seed of farmers
here for the past twenty odd years.
Any section of country needs change
Of seed as well as rotation of cror
bnce in a while.
Jas. Austin, the Hannah farme,
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1915-09-09

and stockman, was attending to bust
ness matters here Tuesday afternoon.
He was one of the first in that section
of the county to start harvesting this
fall and also takes the lead of most of
his neighbors there in getting through
threshing the crop. Mr. Austin is
satisfied they have better than an
average crop through the Hannah
this fall. His acreage
of Marquis wheat gave an average
yield of thirty bushels to the acre.
Fred Herricks is among the first to
get through with quite a large share
of threshing this fall. His winter
rye, on the Mooney farm adjoining
town, owing to early frost had its
yield reduced to 10 bushels per acre.
But his Marquis wheat, sown on sum-
mer fallow and old land gave return
of 30a bushels and his Fife wheat
growing along side yielded 16 bushels.
Quite a difference but the sample in
both cases is stated as being excellent.
John Hautz, one of the big farmers
in the settlement south of Easily, is
among those who have threshed
enough wheat so far this fall to form
an idea of what the average yield will
be. On the Houtz farm wheat went
25 bushels to the acre and at the ele-
vator showed a test weight of So!
pounds to the bushel.

LANGDON'S NEW SCHOOL
BELL WILL RING MONDAY
Bell Tower for Handsome Donation to Lanqdon
High School is Now Being Raised

The new bell for the Langdon pub.
lie school, donated to the city by the
family Of the late Robert B. Langdon,
the wealthy St. Paul railroad con-
tractor who had charge of the con-
struction of this branch of the Great
Northern at the time the line was
extended from Park River to Langdon,
is being raised on a tower this week
and will be in readiness to perform
its daily functions of calling the
children to school when the fall term
opens on Monday of next week. The
tower, which is now being placed at
the rear of the school rises to a
height of fifty feet, clear of the roof
of the building, and arrangements are
being made to have the rope to ring
the bell enter the building in one of
the class rooms on the second floor of
the north side of the building. 1t is
a handsome appearing bell, weighing
three hundred pounds with fine tone
and will long serve as a memento
from the family of the man whose
name our city bears to the children
who from year to year pass through
the Langdon school to take up their
daily avocation in life. On its out
side the bell bears an inscription Civ
ing the date of its presentation to the
Langdon public schools with the
names OF the doners, son and two
daughters of the late Robert B. Lang
don, of St. Paul

CONFIRMATION AT NEKOMA

Bishop O'Reilly was distinguished
visitor in the city yesterday, taking
the returning train to Fargo from
Nekoma, where at a service held in
the forenoon he confirmed large
class of young boys and girls. II was
the first class to be confirmed in ST.
Edwards Catholic church and the
occasion resulted in the attendance of
the largest congregation that has ever
entered the doors of that edifce. The
Nekoma parish has shown a notable
growth and prosperity under the
ministrations of Father Garland as its
parish priest.

BULL TRACTOR DEMONSTRATION

Monday afternoon on the Liebeler
farm east of the court house, Finley
D. Cameron of Grand Forks, sales
agent for this territory for the famous
Bull Tractor gave an exhibit OF
plowing and very successful demon
stration of the tractors power and
what it could do on a farm. Owing
to the busy season many who other
wise would have attended were kept
away. There is no question but that
the bull is an excellent general pur-
pose power tractor on the farm and it
is understood that Mr.. Cameron is
negotiating for Langdon sales agent

HOW This COUNTY LOOKS
TO MAN FROM The VALLEY
In a Trip Over Cavalier County Last
Week Game Warden Thompson
Looked Us Over

The last issue of the Pembina Pio-
neer Express contains some notes by
the way of what Editor G. G. Thomp-
son saw on his recent trip through
Cavalier county, while making his
official trip of inspection as deputy
state game warden of the seventh
judicial district. The country up here
is evidently new to Game Warden
Thompson and although his viewpoint
is not exactly that of a resident of
Cavalier county many will coincide
generally as to material facts. He
says:
1.-The crops throughout the whole
district are exceptionlly good save in
few places, but the Valley seems to
have it over the land farther west.
This is due to having had more
moisture. At Sarles they claim the
total rainfall for the last fourteen
months is less than four inches, vet

the pests Cavalier county farmers
have to fight. They are very numer-

prairie chickens and other birds have
fallen prey to the deadly poison which
is administered through grain.
