Automobile Accident.

A serious automobile accident oc-
Cured under peculiar circumstances
in this village last Sunday shortly be-
fore noon. H. Schwartz, Jos. Leath-
ers, Charles Blocker, Jock Pierson and
Lionel Pierson were in the formers
automobile, and were going to the
slaughter house of Pierson & Blocker
to get some hides which Mr.. Schwartz
had purchased. Mr.. feathers was
driving the machine, and tire blew
out when the automobile was just be-
yond the E. Nelson store. This caused
the machine to swerve to the left, and
when Mr.. feathers attempted to right
it it seemed to "tjack-knife." At any
rate the machine turned a complete
somersault,, and the occupants were
violently precipitated to the ground.
Messrs. Pierson and Blocker and Lionel
Pierson were rendered unconscious as
a result, and friends hurried them to
the Northwestern hospital.
Mr.. Leathers' face was bruised, and
both his wrists were swollen, while
Mr.. Schwartz sustained painful bruises
to his head.
Mr.. Blocker and Lionel Pierson were
dismissed from the hospital Monday.
Both were badly bruised. Jock Pier
son sustained conclusion Of the
brain, and was unconscious over two
days. He is still in serious condi-
ton but hopes are entertained for his
recovery.
The automobile was not badly dam
aged, considering everything. The
wind shield was smashed, and the top
is in dilapidated condition.

Preparing for Grass.

If you have a field in cultivation
this season which you expect to seed
to grass in the spring, and if you are
not particular as to the kind of grain,
you can save labor by disking thor
oughly and seeding to rye or winter
wheat this fall. Spring sown grains
will do, but it is the observation Of the
Northeast Experiment Station at Du-
luth that the heavier clay soils of the
region become so firmly packed
through the winter that the seed bed
is not in so good condition for the
spring sown grains. l.

to take his life Tuesday noon, when he
cut his throat with razor, presuma-
bly, while mentally unbalanced. The
patient was taken to the Northwestern
hospital at once, and he is doing as
we'll as could be expected. Mr.. John
son is about 80 years old. He resides
on a farm near Zimmerman with his
mother, and it is known that he had
no financial difficulties: For two or
three days prior to his attempt on his
life he had been acting strangely.

It is said that more illicit liquor is
made in New York City than is pro-
duced by all the moonshine stills in
the Appalachian range. Now comes the
statement that the deleterious drugs
are being turned out illegally in guam
titles never known before. In fact
it is generally admitted that there are
a great many more drug fiends in New
York now than there were before
state and national laws were enacted
to prohibit the sale Of narcotics ex-
cept on physicians certificate. An
other case of reform measures breed
ing criminals instead of lessening
evils.

Letter From Texas.
Camp Llano Grande, Nov. 8, 197

l
We made a trip. to the Mercedes
pump on the. Rio Grande last week.
G company was put on guard I'M
mediately after supper. We walked
post all night and started right out
the next morning on the return trip,
making an almost continuous hike
from Friday morning until Saturday
noon. No member Of G company
dropped out, although several from
other companies did. The boys from
the Rum river valley are certainly
'hard boiled" now. The ponds and
lakes were literally alive with ducks
and geese, and the river teemed with
fish.
C company Of Duluth has been on
guard at this station which is an i'm
portant one as our water supply de-
ponds on it.
A four-day hike is scheduled for
next week and a ten-day hike the last
of the month.

Mud Road Ideas.

Iowa has had the good roads issue
injected into the campaign, and tits
found that there is still quite a fac
ton favoring the good old mud roads
of the fathers. They are certainly
cheaper-on the first cost.
The issue has called out IAN inter
esting letter printed in the Des Moines
Register telling of a campaign sixty
years ago against railroads. When
the first railroad was projected across
Indiana it was bitterly opposed by
teamsters, stage-drivers, farmers and
freight haulers. Their cause was es-
poused by certain type Of politician
who saw chance to ride into power
and place on the wave Of popular
prejudice. .s.ss~.- = =
These politicians dilated eloquently
on the old stage coach: drawn through
the country by two or three spans of
horses, under the crack Of the skillful
drivers whip. What would happen to
the driver, and to the horses, and the
whole industry, if the railroad came
through? It would put the transfers
out Of business, close the welcoming
taverns along the ways, and ruin the
farmers who raised the horses. A
fragment of the Ole campaign songs
is still preserved:
o, come you old wagoners,
And every other man,
Who is opposed to the railroad
Or any such plan. -s.-s.
It's go to Philadelphia .
And ask for a load, ~
And they'll tell you directly,
It's the railroad.
But the railroad came, and all the
Dame Partingtons who were sweeping
back the Atlantic with their little
brooms soon disappeared.
New ideas, if they have the merit
in them, are bound to sweep along,
no matter what the opposition. The
mud road will hardly hold it's own. 1t
is too expensive in the long run.-Min-

CONFERS WITH U. S. EXPERTS
Professor Atkinson of Montana Expert
ment Station Outlines Cooperative
Work For This Year.

Bozeman.-Prof. Alfred Atkinson of
the college has just returned from
Washington, d. c., where he went to
confer with the experts of the United
States department of agriculture re-
garding plans for cooperative investi-
cations this year by the department
of agriculture and the Montana ex-
pertinent stations at Hanley, Moccasin
and Havre The department has al
ready been cooperating for several
years at Humtley and Moccasin, and
will also participate in the experiments
at Havre, where a new substation has
just been established.
Under the terms arranged by Prof
lessor Atkinson, the federal depart
ment will contribute 100000 for the
work at Huntley and about $4,000 at
each of the other two points. This
contribution is in addition, of course,
to the regular appropriation given
each year by congress to the Montana
experiment station, on the same terms
as to all the other states.
The lines of work to be undertaken
this year will be the investigation of
dry land crop rotations, the moisture
requirements of certain crops, tests of
various forage crops and of grains.

SEEK A SPECIAL ELECTION
Roundup Residents Said To Be Dssat-

Commission Form.

Roundup.-Petitions have been cir
culated in Roundup for the holding OF
a special election to adopt or reject
commission government for the NUM-
cipality. 1t is believed the vote will
be taken at the time of the regular
election in April. Commission govern
ment has been discussed in Roundup
for several years years past, but has
never been submitted to vote. Dissat-
isfaction is said to exist over the fail
ure of the present administration to
effectually close the redlight district
and because of other alleged delin-
quencies in enforcing the law. The
chief objection to the plan so far
made known is the additional expense
caused by a larger salary list under
commission rule.
