MAKES SUCCESS
RAISING BEANS

Velva, n. D.. Feb. 14.-For several
years past Mrs. Minnie Schilling, who
lives three miles west of this city, has
diversified from the all wheat farm
ing and raised white beans for the
market. AS this is sideline not gen.
eral on the farms in this locality it is
watched by many with a great deal
of interest each year. Owing ito heavy
rains the crop did not bear as we'll as
usual this year. However, 225 bushels
were threshed out and the greater
part of these have been sold at $3.50
per bushel. At this figure the crop
would bring $1,462.50, not a bad in
come from sideline in an off year.
Using the above figures az a basis it
appears that this could be used as
another Of the many convincing ar
guments in favor of farmers getting
away from the one crop idea.

CONTRACT LET FOR new
BUSINESS BLOCK AT MINOT

Minot. n. D., Feb. 1.-THE contract
has been let for the construction of the
Kermott building, now known as the
Central block, on the corner of First
street and Central avenue west, to w.
S. Kingsley for $500. The price seems
a trihe high when compared with fig-
ures of last year, but when 1t is re-
membered that steel has advanced 104
per cent in cost and other construction
material has advanced in price accord
ingIy during the past twelve months,
the figure is by no means exorbitant.
Kingsley had the contract for the erec-
ton. of the Roell building on Main
street last spring.
The cement basement work was COM
pleted last winter and everything Is
ready for the placing of the steel for
the first floor, Work on the structure
will be commenced as soon as weather
conditions will permit and the material
can be procured.
This will be one of the best in the
city. 1t will be three stories over
full basement, but the walls will be so
constructed that two additional stories
can be added when desired.
Robert b. Stacy-Judd, who drew the
plans for the construction, will super
Intend the erection until completion.

DEVILS LAKE ROAD
COMMITTEE At WORK
Effort is Being Made to Secure Drive
Way to National Park.

Devils Lake. N. DS Feb. 14.-At
their first meeting the special road
committee, appointed by the CONNER
chairman, DIR. w. E. Hooking, and c.
z. Gray, determined that efforts will
be made to secure an appropriation
for a road to Sully's Hill national
park; to lay out definite road to
Toxic; and to attend to the regular
dragging Of the roads leading to Dew
lis Lake.
In an effort to secure an appropria-
ton for a road to Sully's Hill, tele
j. Gronna and Representative p. ID.
Norton, asking them to attend to this
feature. The beautiful scenery around
Sully's Hill is little known and appre-
ciated, even in the immediate vicinity,
owing to the fact that hitherto, II has
been impossible to reach this point.
Now that the hill has been set aside
and is being improved for national
park. the establishment Of highway
seems a necessity.
The present road leading to Toxic
is not permanent. IL runs across farm
lands and the owners are threatening
to close up the trail. consequently the
futility of trying to improve the drive.
The committee hopes to secure a def
mite road from Pelican Point bridge
through the Mission to Toxic and,
when a permanent road is established,
it will be possible to improve it and
keep it in good condition.
The committee is determined to
see that the roads leading to Devils
Lake from the surrounding country
are kept in good condition. In order
to do this they will have to be con-
stantly dragged.
