loan association he is able to borrow
IS, 400, at an interest rate of about
half of that usually paid.

new TOWN
OF JORDAN
PROPOSED
Farmers Living Between
Dickinson and Mott Dis
cuss New Railroad
WILL RUN VIA LEfOR
Mott Interested AS It May
Divert Considerable Trade
From "The Spot"

Mott, n. D., Jan. 29.-John Jordan
Of Campbell township was at Mott
the latter part of the week attending
to some business matters. Mr.. Jordan
is much interested in the proposed
new railroad which is going to run
through his territory from Dickinson
via Lefor. A meeting of interested
farmers was held at the Jordan farm
last Wednesday, at which time it was
planned to have Adam A. Lefor, Of
the Lefor State bank, present, Mr..
Lefor being the first prime mover in
the proposed road. However, he was
detained on account of the illness Of
his aged father. The meeting was for
the purpose of discussing ways and
means and to come to a proper UNDER
standing as to the best methods to
pursue. @
The present indications show that
the railroad will come in from Lefor
around the west end of what is known
of zColgrove Butte. This will cross
section 10 in Campbell township and
will be from one-half to three-quar-
tiers of mile north of the st. Michaels
church. Section 10 which is owned by
Mr.. Jordan offers an excellent town.
site location and efforts will be made
to have the new town Of Jordan" at
that point. f&
Farmers living north of Villa, in
attendance at the meeting are anxious
to have the new railroad built direct
ly east instead Of diverting south at a
point fourteen miles north. Should
these plans be carried out, Mott will
lose the railroad.
By having the road opening up the
Villa territory a vast amount Of trade
now coming to Mott will be entirely
lost. @Lr $500. -

County Yields Big Money

Watford City, N. D., Jan. 29.--Not-
withstanding the fact that the 1916
wheat crop was a failure throughout
the entirewheat belt, the farmers in
this section of Mckenzie county did not
fare so bad. Approximately $4,000

thus far at the Watford City market
which brought an average price of
$3.50, aggregating $240,500. Flax re-
ceipts thus far total $4,000 bushels
that brought an average price Of
$3.50. About 10000 bushels of oats
and $4,000 bushels of barley have been
marketed thus far. The total value
of all grains marketed thus far this
year is $537, $4,000, as compared with
$3.50, 900 last year. There will be con-
siderable grain hauled this spring and

the crop will exceed last years bump

The value of livestock shipped from
this market will amount to about

Nut Which Grew
Million Years Ago is
Found in Coal Mine

WiIIiston, N. D., Jan. 2e.-J. A.
Husehy, proprietor of the Husehy
Coal Co. is now confident that
"Old Hickory" is an appropriate
name when applied to the coal
from his mine. A few days ago,
in blasting out coal, one of the
miners at the Huseby mine found
a nut, in shape and size closely
resembling a hickory nut, which
had been held fast for untold ages
in the heart of great lump of
coal.
The nut had been cracked open
one one side and like the material
which surrounded 1t had turned to
coal or a substance closely re-
sembling coal, although somewhat
harder than the ordinary coal.
at 10 interesting to think that
this nut grew right here in North
Dakota way back some time in the
dim ages of the earth's history"
said Mr.. Husebye.. "Perhaps they
had no open winter that year, too
and that is why the squirrels who
didn't need all the nuts that grew
that year, missed this one and it
has come down to US, living mil
lions of years afterward.

HEART FAILUREI IS
CAUSE OF DEATH

sKenmare, n. D., Jan. 29.-Just a
few minutes after j. r. Purdy, aged 6S
years, had entered the home Of his
daughter, Mrs. Cora Cunningham, in
this city, last Thursday evening he
passed away as a result of heart
i failure. Mr.. Purdy had walked from
the down town district to his daugh-
ter's place in the face of the growing
blizzard. When he entered the house
Mrs. Cunningham asked him how he
was feeling and he replied that he felt
first rate. She helped off with his coat
and a moment later he slipped to the
floor, and was dead in a very short
time, never regaining consciousness.

resident of this section and for the
last two years had made his home in

having died some seven years ago. Mr..
Purdy came to South Dakota when

Treasurer Returns
Weyerhaeuser Check
County official Refuses to Accept
$4,000 Offered in Payment for
Taxes by Timber Company

MONTESANO, March 20.-Johp B.
Orton, county treasurer, refused to ac-
cept a check from the Weyerhaeuser
Timber company for $9S,0O0 for taxes
due, claiming that the amount is not
sufficient to cover the taxes and he
will not put the burden of collecting
the difference on the county.
Mr.. Orton accepted check for $685.
900 for taxes on other property which
the company owns in the county.
The amount levied against the tim
ber interests is approximately $780,
900. The company claims this is ex-
cessive and accompanied their check
with a statement of it's valuation as
compared with that of the county as
SCISSOR.
This is the fourth year the Weyer-
haeuser company has disputed the
biggest part of it's taxes but as yet
there has been no suit Many delin-
quent tax certificates have been pur-
chased against property owned by the
company as result of it's refusal to
pay the amount levied.

MUNITION CARGO
BRINGS $9,65O.00
Litigation Probably Will Follow Sale
Of War Munitions Taken
From Annie Larsen

The munitions cargo, seized by the
United States government from the
schooner Annie Larsen two years ago,
was sold at auction Tuesday morning,
to w. Stokes Kirk, of Seattle, for
$3.50.

T. B. Bruener, acting for Olson &
Mahoney, former owners of the Annie

cargo consists of $40 cases of am
munition, estimated to contain 1,o0O,-
900 rounds, 554 cases of guns and re-
volvers and 10 cases of canvas cart
ridge belts.
It was claimed that the Annie Lar
sen was outfitted by German agents
to start a revolution against British
rule in India.
