FARMERS WELL SUPPLIED
WITH SEED IN COUNTY

stated that he believed every farmer
in the valley had a good supply, but
that there might be a shortage of
seed corn. although he was one OF
the fortunate ones in the county to-
have his corn mature before the
frost arrived and that he has a good
supply.
MT. Burney came to North Dakota
years ago from Illinois. He lived in
the vicinity OF Elgin and gave up
machine work 10 become a farmer.
Today he is the owner of 800 acres

RESIDENT OF
FARGO IS DEAD
Captain Capehart Lived
Here With Parents in
Early Days

Word has been received in Fargo
of the death Of pioneer day resi-
dent OF Fargo, Captain Edward E.
Capehart.
Captain Capehart resided in Fargo
when. in 1877, he entered the naval
academy at Annapolis, and spent his
vacations in Fargo up to 1890, so that
he was quite we'll known to old time
residents.
An article from the Army and
Navy Journal concerning Captain
Capehart's death, follows:
Capt. Edward T. Capehart, u. s.
n, retired, died at the Naval hospital,
Washington. d. G. Captain Capehart
was born at Bridgeport, o.. Feb. IS,
1859, and was the son of BreVent
Mai. Gen. Henry Capehart, u. ;.
Vols, and Elizabeth Adeline Kinsey.
He entered the Naval academy in
1877, and was commissioned ensign
(J.G.) July !. 1888 Captain Capehart,
among other duties, served in the
Lancaster, Of the European station,

MAIL VOLUME
Is TREMENDOUS
Enlisted Men at Jefferson
Barracks Have Difficulty
Getting Letters

The tremendous number of men
being handled at Jefferson Barracks,
No., has operated to play havoc
with the mail situation. according to
John H. Tucker, in a letter to his
father, w. r. Tucker, county audi
tor OF Cass county.
According to the young man there
are about 10000 men stationed at
the barracks, and floods of mail are
brought in daily. In several instances
recruits waiting for their clothing
have been without mail for a week,
and even for longer period, yet the
letters are at the barracks. Even
registry mail is held up by the
enormous volume pouring into the
small office. Mr.. Tucker writes that
just as soon as 900 or 700 men are
sent out from the barracks, a cor
responding number arrives, and that
in some instances men have folded
themselves in blankets and bunked
on the floor because of the crowded
conditions.
Cass county men writing to rela-
tives have told of the crowded condi-
tons. at Jefferson Barracks. One
young man writes that he stood in
line from 1 until o'clock one after
NUN SSAOhS h0 SUI ans 60
others have stood in line for longer
periods. Men are only too glad to
leave for their training stations, it is
said. Conditions are somewhat inn
proved now compared to what they
were during the period between Dec.
/ and Dec. Is, when the government
permitted registered men to enlist
provided they were not needed to fill
any of the deferred. quotas.
John H. Tucker enlisted in the
aviation section and left Fargo on
Dec. IL of last year. He is now
stationed as a clerk in the headquar-
tiers post. Registered mail and 9TH
err matter that had been sent to him
by his father had failed to reach him
until just recently. ... ..

HYDRAULIC MINING WILL BE RESUMED
 IN CALIFORNIA

GRASS VALLEY, Ore, Dec. 28.-- Hydraulic mining is showing renewed activities in the group of counties where once it flourished a quarter of a century ago. The use of ce ment in the construction of dams had, at least to large extent, solved the old and vexing problem of dis posing of the resultant debris, thus permitting the re-opening of dozens of old workings that once yielded good profits to the owners and Oper ators.
 In Placer, Nevada, Sierra and Yu ba Counties, preparations steadily have been going forward for two or three years past.
 In the vicinity of Dutch Flat, Plac- CT County, men are at work and nu merous old workings at Liberty Hill You Bet, Quaker Hill and elsewhere have been or are soon to be reopened The old ditches and fumes, in dis use for 9 years, have been rebuilt the brush-grown diggings cleared Storage Reservoirs have been con structed, for, under State and Fed eral laws, none of the refuse is per mitted to enter any natural water course.
