BOYS UTTERED FOR.
TUNE FOR DEVISE

Minot, N. d.. Feb. 10.-Roy Viii
liams, son of T. Williams, and
Herschel Magner. son Of Hender-
son Wagner, two prominent farm
crs living live miles south of Des
Lacs, have invented and patented a
steering gear for plowing tractors
that bids fair TO bring the young
inventors, who are only seventeen
years Of age, a fortune and at the
same time revolutionize the use OF
tractors for plowing purposes.
The inventors have been offered
$4,000 for the Canadian rights for
their invention and lney have re-
ceived number of inquiries from
manufacturers in this country ask
ing them to name a price for their
attachment or to specify the royal
ty they will take to have it manu-
factured. So far they have no:
disposed of the invention in either
country.
The boys are young farmers and
have been working OH the invention
for something like a year. Roy
Williams was the real inventor Of
the attachment. Herschel Wagner
has been operating Il tractor engine
| on his fathers farm for some time,
and by giving the matter careful,
study, had become considerably OF
an expert in that line. The boys
! entered into a partnership and the
invention was tried on the tractor
which young Wagner "as operat-
! ing, and was thus worked to per-
fection which would otherwise
have been impossible.
The difference between the boys
tractor guide and those which have
been in use is that instead Of the
| two wheels ruaning in SPAR on the
same axel, they run tandem i'll the
! furrow and are so arranged that
both grip against the BERN Of the
furrow automatically This grip
! ping Of the furrow BERN guide
! and changes the course of tn
front wheels of the tractor and
makes the entire outfit follow the
! lines of the furrow. Thus, il Tx
| furrow is crooked, the old method
| followed Il straight course and the
machinery was not at once adjust
able to the change. The invention
| OF the boys oyerc0mes this defect
| which was really the purpose foi
! which the invention was intended
| The wheels and their connections
are such that llIcy buckle auto
matically and the tractor is thus
| guided without the use OF Il steer
| ing wheel. But Il steering wheel
is provided which can be used tc
turn the tractor i'll a remarkably
small space, the buckling OF tho
guide wheels and connections carry
ing iho front wheels Of the tractor
! itself in Il short but perfect curve
without the least slidding
The invention has been tried out
thoroughly on tractors or different
makes and has been found TO work
to perfection under all conditions.
The inventors are farm boys with
brains who have not given so much
attention TO book farming as they
have to farming with their eyes
and ears open.

III over the western part OF North

dations Of the beaver, which is pro-
tected by state law until 1920. and
numerous are the calls upon the
state game board for relief.
"a rancher at Garner creek, in
Billings county, near Roosevelt's
old Maltese Cross ranch, tells the
biggest story yet. He figures he
has thirty or forty beaver ON his
land. They have. he says, cut
fully 1000 trees on his place, and
he has written Governor Z. B.
Hanna asking that bounty Of 81
a tree be granted him..
Nj The beaver work mostly OH
nights and very swiftly.
They do not appear to mind being
watched, seeming to know they are
secure from harm for several years.
They store in their ponds the small
.twigs and the grain shocks which
they have purloined for future
food. One farmer says they have
taken twenty-five bushels from his
farm. AT the Garner creek ranch,
two miles west Of the Little Mis-

VIM. Spencer and q man known
as "Red" were arrested last week
at Powers Lake by Sheriff w. C.
Heath on the charge Of unlawful
discharge of firearms. and on being
taken before the justice they waiv-

over to the district court. Tie
men had been in the Powers Lake
country since threshing time and
had been spending much of their
time in getting drunk and raising
the devil. They were getting
worse right along and defied any
one to molest them. On several
occasions they discharged shot
gun on the streets of the city and
threatened to shoot anyone that
would molest them. On the even

tention on Joe F. Wagner. another

livery barn. They invited him OUT
to get shot, but he refused to come,
and instead locked himself in. The

not succeed in injuring Wagner.
The men stated that they wouSd
not be taken by the sheriff or atiy

BILE, however, was experienced .sin
