Beloved Wife of Presbyterian Pastor
Passed Away at st. JOseph's
Hospital Saturday

Mrs. P. w. Erickson, aged twenty
nine years old, wife of Rev. P. W..
Erickson, pastor Of the Presbyterian
church of this city, passed away at St.
Joseph's hospital Saturday afternoon
at three o'clock, following short i'll
ness Her death was not entirelya-un-
expected, as her case had become ex-
|ceedingly critical for several days and
surgeons had practically given up all
hope.
Mrs. Erickson went to the hospital
nearly two weeks before her death,
where minor operation was per-
formed, her condition not being consid-
cred at all serious. Appendicitis de-
veloped shortly after and consulta-
ton Of surgeons was held and it was
deemed advisable to operate immedi-
ately as the only possible means Of
saving the patients life. The best

HARTMAN LOSES
LEAD IN RACE
LOST ON ROAD
Other Teams Pass Him-Wandered
Aimlessly Throughout the
Entire Night

Evansville, Mimi, Jan. 31.-Lost
throughout the night between Ashby
and Dalton, Fred Hartman, the Ameri-
can, who had led the contestants in
the 509-mile dog race from Winnipeg
to St. Paul for several hours, again
was forced into the rear today, when
he arrived at Ashby shortly after the
seven other entries had departed from
this town.
Hartman left Dalton at lbs a. M,
while the other drivers were resting
there and started for Ashby. He be-
came lost and wandered aimlessly
throughout the night, finally stopping
at a. m. at the farm home of Lyle
Ellerson, six miles west of Ashby, and
only four miles from Dalton.
After brief rest at the farm home,
Hartman travelled down the Great
Northern right-of-way into Ashby,
where he was cheered by townspeople
assembled to greet him. He said he
would spend about three hours there
resting. He seemed weared, but reit-
Grated his determination to continue
in the race.
Residents of Evansville paused in
their routine tasks to welcome the sew
en- leaders due to arrive here early this
afternoon. Six of the teams, driven
by Bill Graysons, Hyurtur Hanson,
Gunnar Thomasson, Mike Kelly, Joe
Metcalf and Gabriel Campbell left
Ashby at 9:40 a. m. and the seventh
driven by Albert Campbell, departed
shortly after.

Mrs. Dennis Dies Suddenly.

Mrs. Dennis, wife Of Dell Dennis,
engineer on the 500, died at their APP
artments in the Ellison flats Tuesday
afternoon. Mrs. Dennis had been suf-
fering from the grippe, but her condi-
ton was not considered dangerous.
Complications, however, set in and the
end came suddenly. Besides her hus-
band, Mrs. Dennis leaves a daughter,
graduate of the Minot Normal and
now teaching in the public schools OF
Steele, and son ten years of age. AS
we go to press we learn that definite
arrangements regarding the funeral
have not been made, as the family are
awaiting word from relatives who live
at distance. The sympathy of all
goes out to the stricken husband and
children in their bereavement.

new OIL COMPANY
FOR WONDER CITY
Cleveland, Ohio, Oil Company Will
Use MinOt AS Distributing
Center.

Mr.. J. F. Collins, of Cleveland, o.,
has arrived in the city, and will es-
tablish a branch for the Inland Oil
Works Company, of Cleveland.
This company has been doing a
large carload business in western
North Dakota and eastern Montana,
but found that in order to get the bus
mess they were entitled to it was nee
essary to secure a location for a
branch house handy to the territory,
and after considering the merits of
Fargo and Minot, decided on the Won
der City.
This company will build large
warehouse as soon as possible along
the 500 tracks southeast of the Rus
sell-Miller Milling Co., and full line
of their oils will be handled from the
start.
Mr.. Collins visited Minot eight years
ago and was so impressed with this
city's natural advantages as distrib-
uting point that his counsel prevailed
when it came to making selection for
this new branch. He is a hustler in
the true sense of the word, and will
be splendid addition to the business
life of this city.

isn't it possible to amend
the constitution -.
Mr.. Townley-"Yes, but it would
take about four or six years."
Peter Vandenoever-M am a grain
grower and I would like to know one
thing. Haven't the grain growers the
right to build their own elevators :?
Two years ago l offered to subscribe
5000 for an Equity mill located in the
state"
Mr.. Townley-"The farmer is pc
culiar animal Of his own volition he
does very little good for himself. He
woke up one morning and found that
he was organized. The trusts are not
afraid of large cooperative concerns.
The Equity Exchange has no reserve
and is up against it all the time. Then
the managers of the cooperative con-
Germs are often bought up by the
trusts"
Mr.. Vandenoever-"We grain grow
ers lost as much as $76,000,000 in
North Dakota last year from our
wheat crop, when we consider that it
takes IL cents a bushel to carry the
wheat to market and the mills get US
to the tune of 40 cents bushel. Let
us put half this amount into mills and
packing plants. One of our Minot
mills erected at cost of $250,000
makes 1000 barrels a day. Mr.. Town
ley, don't you think we could raise the
money among ourselves?"
Mr.. Townley-"We have trouble in
getting SIG apiece"
Mr.. Vandenoever-"We had the
wheat. Why did we let them do it,"
Mr.. Townley-"Did you ever see a
lawyer and sheriff work together ?"

Burlington Camp M. w. A. Will Init
late Class of rs.


Burlington Camp M. w. A., at their
meeting January %, appointed Joe
jacobson and George Tiller captains
to secure new members. Each captain
heads squad of workers and the side
winning enjoys fine banquet at the
expense of the losing side. Already
nearly rs new members have been Sc
cured and the race promises to be an
event of considerable magnitude and
interest, both to the Camp and to the
public. At special meeting held on
Thursday evening of this week, a COM
mittee on membership will be appoint
ed to consider all applicants for mem
bership. On February 9Th the new
members will be balloted for and on
the 10th of February the Camp will
hold their initiatory services, using for
the first time the beautiful new uni
forms and lodge regalia recently pur-
chased. Upon this occasion banquet
and general social time will follow the
meeting and special committee hav-
ing matters in charge are said to be
making preparations for one of the
best entertainments ever staged by a
fraternity in Burlington. The banquet
will be prepared by the Royal Neigh
bors and this is sufficient guarantee
that the inner man will be we'll pro-
vided for. AS many of the members
of the Burlington Camp have excep-
tional talent as entertainers this fea-
ture of the evenings amusements will
/ lack nothing in the way of novelty.

was secured, but her recovery was not
to be.
The funeral services were held from
the Presbyterian church Monday aft
renoon at o'clock where for the past
seven years Mrs. Erickson had been
one of the familiar ministering spir-
it's for mercy and good. The services
were in charge Of Rev. D. M. Mcintosh
of Grand Forks, Synodical Missionary
of the Presbyterian church in this dis
trict. The body was taken to the old
home, Casson, Mimi, where interment
was made. The funeral arrangements
were in charge of the J. D. Van Fleet
undertaking establishment.
Mrs. Erickson leaves husband
and son, Donald, six years of age.
Minot bows in sorrow over the death
of this good woman. She appeared pc
culiarly fitted for the life's work she
had chosen, that of being a helpmate
of minister Of the gospel. She was
interested in all that was good for the
church and the community and she de-
serves credit for much Of the growth
and development of the Presbyterian
organization in this city.
She had done much in a musical
way with services connected with the
church and her rich, well cultivated
soprano voice was heard in the church
choir less than a fortnight prior to the
time her Savior called her hence. Mi
not will long remember Mrs. Erick-
son for her unselfish, noble acts. The
sympathy of the entire city goes out to
the bereaved pastor and the little son.
Peter Ferguson, Of Drayton, a
grandfather Of the deceased, with
whom she made her home for many
years; Guy M. Jameson, brother, OF
Crystal, and Sivert Erickson, of Cas-
son, Rev. Erickson's father, who ar
rived before death took place, with
DR.. and Mrs. A. D. MCDANIEL, accom-
panied Rev. Erickson and his little
son to Casson, where the body was
inferred.
Officiating as bearers at the Minot
services were Messrs. c. A. Johnson.

Bad Freight Wreck on the 500.

A bad freight wreck on the 500 near
the G. N. nursery west of the city
piled up about twenty carloads of
freight and tore up the track for a
considerable distance, delaying traffic
for twenty-four hours. Trains from
the west were obliged to transfer their
passengers and baggage past the
wreck meantime. We understand the
cause was due to the spreading of the
rails, caused by the intense cold dur
ing the past week.

QUIT BROOKLYN TEAM
Zach Wheat Is Talking About Getting
Out of Baseball and Remaining
On His Farm.

New York. Jan. 26.-The difference
between the Brooklyn club and its
champion players has reached the
breaking point. according to the news
that has just leaked out.
1t is said on God authority that
Zach Wheat. the star left fielder of
that organization, has about decided
10 quit the game unless certain
changes are made in his contract for
next season.
Zach is of a highly nervous tenn
permanent and has probably felt the
strain of the game more than any
man In the league. This Is no dis
credit to him. but an explanation of
his mental attitude.
He lives and breathes baseball, and
every contest is a sort OF life-and-
death matter with him. He has fire.
quently said that 1t would not require
much provocation for him to retire
to his farm at Palo. Mo-. and add
years to his life by cutting out the
excitement of baseball.
The owners of the Brooklyn club
are out of town. but they left words
fcheer for their Office force. the
burden of which was that If the old
players did not come into line young
players would be engaged in their
stead.
