MACHINE THAT MAKES
RAIN UNNECESSARY

st. Paul, Feb. 18.-A machine
which will pulNerize the surface
Of the earth, according ito the
inventor, make dry farming cas-
ier and rainfall unnecessary to
assure good crops, was given to
the state of Minnesota in the
will of Martin Gmllckson, who
committed suicide Jan. 10. A pat
ent already has been obtained.
.Gullickson, an inventor, lived
with John o. Peterson, SO
Twentysecond avenue south. For
years HE had been working on
the theory that were the !p1ant-
ing surface of the earth pulver-
lied the mo: :stre or air would
be sufficient for the crops.
Mrs. Ingeborg Gulickson, hi
mother, retained w. E. Rowe, of
Crookston, who appeared before
Probate Judge Jchn A. Dahl TO
ask that the will be set aside.
The attorney declared that Gull
lickson was of unsound mind at
the time the Will was made. The
|hesring was st for April q.

the balance Of the estate, includ-
ing the machine, was left 70

that Hanna is to- be the target
for different organizations, that
are now cutting considerable
ice, all over the state. These or
ganizations have, THUS far kept
themselves in quietude on ac-
count Of Hanna s absence from
the state. Il is also known
that a number Of his "lie1ltenr
ants" who have been keeping
tab on the situation for the gov,
ernor, have been doing nothing
more than computing false re-
ports. There. seems to be a.
stronger tendency now to over
throw the Hanna machine, than
ever before. 1t is generally
agreed that neither Hanna Or
Nc Cumber will meet; with en-
dorsements of the. Non-Partisan
league of the Equity and present
predictions spell defeat for
both. Who then,is the man big

ciation it cos the county $14,-
495, ,64 to build 174 miles of
graded roads, or $3.50 per mile.
These roads were Of standard
cross section we'll crowned and
were finished, in an excellent
manner.
T. r. Atkinson, consulting en-
gineer, had general charge Of
the work for the county and mad
all surveys. County Auditor Fla
herty estimates that the engi-
neering work averaged seven dol
lars per mile, making the total
cost per mile, $1,000 for the road
work done in 1915
As the best Price secured for
building graded roads during
1914 was $165.OO per mile, the
county commissioners are to be
congratulated on the success Of
their under taking. They were
able to build nearly twice as
large a mileage as they could
have by letting the work by con-
tract.
State Engineer Bliss submits
this information in the belief
that there are many other conn-
ties in North Dakota that could,
do their own road work with as
great a percentage Of saving as
was made in Burleigh county
during 1915: /
Chapter 1Os Of the 1915 Session
Laws gives especial authority
to counties to purchase machin
cry for county road work and the
state engineer thinks that all
county boards Of commissioners
planning on doing $4,000, wort
or more of road building should
carefully consider the adyisa-
bilaty Of purchasing the ncces-
sary machinery and doing the
work directly.-Forum.

CLEANING GERMANS
OUT OF COLONIES
General Botha Has Arrived in German
East Africa to Witness the
Final Operations.

London, Aug. General Botha, pre-.
mier of the Union of South Africa, has
arrived in German East Africa to witness
what is believed here TO be the last
phase of operations against Germany's
one remaining colony.
Botha was present at recent fighting
north of the German Central railway,
which resulted in a British advance to
and the occupation of the lines at Kill
mstinde and other points.
Meanwhile, with the occupation OF
Till by the Belgians and OF other coast
ports by the British, the Germans -ap-
parently are afforded only the opportu-
nifty of retreating into the southeastern
corner of the colony, where the Portu-
gue-e await them.
