BAKER AND BOISE
IN BATTLE today
Fast Oregon Eleven Here
for Game With Local
High School.

The Baker and Boise high school
football teams are playing off their
annual gridiron contest at the Walnut
street park this afternoon. The game
was called at $3.50 o'clock. Owing to
the fact that Bakers eleven has not
been defeated this season, on paper
the odds favor the visitors. Boise, how
ever, presented strong lineup and
the wise ones declare there need be no
surprise If they slip across a defeat to
the Baker team. Weiser, Pendleton
Payette and La Grande have oil gone
down to defeat before the webfooters.
Roise has played but three games this
season, winning two of them.
Howard Stein is the umpire in today's
game. q. v. Elbrechtson is acting
head linesman. Open play was e0-
pected to feature the game as both
elevens are light and fast. The visi-
tors have been weakened by several
of their strongest players being in
jured. Today's lineup follows:

THE SILVER LINING

- HEEPMEN and cattlemen
are having their troubles
just now because they
need much feed and they are
unable to foretell exactly how
they will fare. Within a few
days there will very likely be a
chinook and people having a
reserve supply Of hay will be
glad to sell at lower prices than
are now demanded. Such wea-
ther az this cannot last long
and when it breaks away we
will be upon the edge Of spring.
When fair weather does arrive
there will be no failure Of the
grass supply because Of short
age Of moisture. Neither will
the ranges suffer from any
drought next summer. Mother
Nature has a habit Of sending
compensations along with most
Of the troubles bestowed upon
her creatures.

When is a barn properly

provided for all tightly closed

never be tightly closed. Sheep

W|LL|ST0N ELEVATOR
MANAGER ON TRIAL
PETER GRASL1E, FORMERLY IN
CHARGE OF FARMERS ELEVA-
TOR, BEING TRIED IN MINOT
FOR EMBEZZLEMENT.

A Williams county case is occupying
the week in district court in this city.
Peter Graslie, now of Wisconsin and
former manager of the Farmers ele-
vator at Williston, is on trial charged
with the embezzlement Of approx
mately $3.50 from the elevator.
States Attorney Owens Of Williams
county is prosecuting. He is assisted
by Atty. Dudley L. Nash of this city,
who is sitting in the case at the re-
quest of the attorney general. The
case went to trial Monday and the
state had not finished with it's wit
nesses up to Wednesday night.
While the state claims that CRASHES
shortage amounted to about $4,000 at
one time, it is said that the man paid
back certain sums. Graslie is also
charged with forgery in connection
with the wheat account of the eleva-
tor, and failing to give the elevator
the average.
The case is very complicated. The
concern was at one time known as the
Equity Elevator and Trading Co., but
the name Of the corporation was later
changed. No attorney having been
employed, the records are in poor
shape. There are no records of the
stockholders meetings.
Graslie is being defended by Atty.
Greenleaf of this city and Atty. Cleary
of Williston. .-...

RYE ERGOT SAMPLES WANTED
AT EXPERIMENT STATION

Requests for Ergot are being receiv-
ed from drug manufacturing firms,
asking whether two or three pounds
of ergotized rye grains could be sup
piled. They wish to make tests of
American grown Ergot. These manu-
facturers write that practically the
whole supply of the drug known as
Ergot comes from Europe.
In case the American grown Ergot
has the same physiological properties
as that from Europe there will be a
market for it. 1t is not difficult to re-
move the Ergotized grains by proper
screening.
If anyone having some of the En-
gotized rye grains will send them to
the Department of Botany, N. D. Ag-
ricultural College and Experiment
Station, they will be forwarded for
these tests. If a farmer or elevator
in cleaning rye may chance to have a
large amount of Ergotized rye grain
in screenings send in a sample. If
satisfactory, arrangements may be
made to secure several bags Of the
screenings for the purpose Of cleaning
it up for tests.

i. ANIMALS TO Be
SOLD IN M|N0T
THE NORTH DAKOTA PURE BRED
LIVE STOCK BREEDERS ASSO-
!. CITATION HAVE SELECTED THIS
CITY.

The Live Stock Sale scheduled for
this city for Thursday, March 10th,
bids fair to be the biggest event of
this kind ever pulled off in the state of
North Dakota. There is reason for
this, and this reason is that the breed
ers of the state have taken a great
interest in the sale and will bring
their choicest animals here for disper-
sion. This sale is really fathered by
the North Dakota Pure Bred Live
Stock Breeders Association, and that
fact in itself insures something out of
the ordinary.
Up to this date the following ami
mails have been promised for this
great sale: SO pure bred draft stall
lions; IA pure bred draft mares; 5
pure bred standard bred stations and
mares; 38 pure bred bulls. In this
latter class will be found one, two and
three-year-olds, in Shorthorns, Here
fords, Polled Angus and Holsteins.
Among the pure bred draft stations
will be found Percherons, Belgians,
Clydesdales and Shires, the ID pure
bred draft mares belonging to the
same breeds.
The sale will be held at Scofield's
barn, and will start at $3.50 in the
morning so that all the animals will
be disposed of that day. Frank H.
Hyland, of Devils Lake, assisted by
H. J. Hecht of this city, will be the
.auctioneers, and the sales managers
will be w. H. Peters of Fargo, U. L.
Burdick of Williston and Mr.. Hyland.

IMMIGRANTS ARRIVE.

George Ira McNall of Mercer Coun-
ty, Illinois, arrived in Minot today
with two immigrant cars of horses and
stock, and is to-day moving the same
to his farm south of Minot, which he
purchased from the Brush McWilliams
Company, Of this city, a short time
ago. Mr.. McNall is considered one of
the best and most progressive farm
ers of Mercer county, Illinois, and is
a man who will surely make good
showing in Ward county. We are glad
to see such men as Mr.. McNall move
to this country, and hope that there
will be many more such come in the
near future, and the officials of the
Brush McWilliams Company assure us
that there are several more on the
way here now, each with good bunch
of horses and stock. 49,. ~
Mr.. McNall is accompanied by his
son, and Mr.. Earl Bear, whose father
is the owner of fine farm a few
miles south of Minot, near Mr.. Nc
Nails farm, which was also purchased
thru the Brush McWilliams company
a year or two ago. Mr.. Bear also
brings some horses and stock and will
engage in the farming business with
Mr.. McNall, and intends to become
permanent resident of this county. Mr..
McNall's family will follow in a few
days.
