have been used to save tho expense of

for two years to the great surprise of
thousands of visitors to tho National
Capital.
The reclamation service has lately
called them into service for the de-
struction Of the growth Of johnson
grass which clogs up irrigation bitches.
Keeping this grass down by hand is an
expensive process. Last year 1000
sheep were placed along forty miles OF
bitches In the Salt river irrigation pro-
tect in Arizona They reduced the
cost Of maintaining the bitches from
s7.4ss to less than $1,000.
In addition to the destruction Of the
grass the sheep pack the banks Of
the bitches hard with their sharp feet
This reduces the usual seepage and
also closes up the holes made by the
burrowing gopher. a small animal.
which has frequently caused serious
loss Of water and occasionally the total
destruction of considerable length Of

out with the railway commits
sion, and to defend the good
name of Wolford.
A few months ago, the Great

Wolford, a live Pierce county
town that has been on the map
for ten years, to Orkney, just
to satisfy a number of dis
gruntled citizens out at Wat
ford, Mckenzie county, who
claims that much of their mer-
chandise found it's way to Mike
Breen's town because of the
similarity of the names.
Wolfordites to a man riz'
right up and protested, and
they were allowed to retain the
name. The meeting Wednes-
day was a mere formality, as
it is understood that the COM
mission will issue an order that
the name be retained.-Minot

After Many Years OF Patient

After suffering for nearly ten
years with tuberculosis, Charles

The Automobile Situation

at the present is strenuous to
say the least. Not more than
three of the manufacturers of
cars that sell for less than
$S75. 90 are able to make deliv
cries on time, while most of
the high priced cars seem to be
a drug on the market. The
demand at the present time
seems to be for a light car that
sells for less than $500. 90.
Altho there are a lot of new
popular priced cars brought
out this yesr, the demand is so
great that the part mauufac
turers who are making special
parts for large percentage of
the cars, are not able to pro
duce the parts fast enough to
supply the demand.
The DORT Motor Car Co.
have been delayed in getting
out their cars in quantity ow-
ing to a delay in constructing 9
their rear axles. They have a
large number of cars ready for
delivery as soon as they can
get their axles completed. They
have promised to ship a demon
strator to II. O. SHELDON,
their agent here in Bottineau
about April 20 50 he will have
one here to show not later than

Orders have been placed
ahead instead of waiting for
special orders and taking
chances of a long delay, so Mr..
Sheldon expects to have not
less than five cars for delivery
not later than May 5. If you
