YOUNG WANTS
PRISONERS BR0T HERE

Washington, Oct. "a letter from
General A. P. Peake of Valley City to
Food Administrator Hoover suggest
ing the employment of German war
prisoners upon farms in the north
west was today delivered to Mr..
Hoover by Congressman Young of
North Dakota. Mr.. Hoover promised
to think the matter over. General
Peake stated that from Barnes county
total Of 700 men have thus far gone
to the military camps for service in
the war and that 400 of these were
from the farms, an additional 800
would be called this fall and he esti-
mated that at least 1890 more would
be called before harvest time next
year from a total population of co.
900.
Flowing for springs planting of
wheat, he wrote, was only yer cent
completed Oct. 1, and a serious Jan
ger was created by the increasing d.
ficit of manpower for farming. In
less Germans captured in the war
were sent to this country to help till
the soil particularly in the wheat
areas, General Peake believed spring
wheat acreage would be considerably
restricted, he wrote.

erly the Fargo Dairy and Produce
Co., corner First avenue and Third
street north, will erect a modern
creamery and storage plant at First
avenue and Fifteenth street north
the coming winter, it was announced
today.
The purchase of a half block Of
ground on the new site, and aljoin-
ing the Northern Pacific railway
tracks, was effected by C. J. Lee,
president, on Monday.
"Plans and specifications for the
building, which will be erected the
coming winter if the government
permits it's construction, are being
drawn" C. K. johnson, of the COM
pany. said this morning. 'This new
building, as planned, will be the
largest of it's kind in the state, mod
ern in every respect and will take
care of the company's needs for
years to come.
"The company has been very much
crowded for space, and trackage has
become imperative. The company
is now shipping two to three cars of
butter each week, and by next spring
expects to handle car day, in ad-
dition to eggs and other produce"
Officers of the company could not
say today how much the proposed
new building would cost.

NOT TOO OLD
T0FlCHT AT 60

R. P. Ramsland known as Snoose
Ras) and VIM. Hemmiger, got into
desperate fight on the river bank east
of town yesterday and were fighting
it out in regular ring style under
Marquis of Gooseberry rules when
Chief of Police Swanson hove onto
the scene and pinched both Of them.
They landed in Judge labels court
where Ramsland swore out a COM
plant against Hemminger for as
sault and battery. The latter plead
ed guilty, and Judge label tempered
justice with mercy and held him up
for five spot and costs which were
paid. Ramsland was out of Jail on
bail and in order to get protection he
returned to Jail. Both men are sixty
years old and over and are full of pep
and fight apparently. Sheriff Kelly
should induct them into the army for
special military service. The govern
ment has use for a few million good
fighters at this time.

tomobile mixes gasoline with air in
order to form gas which will explode
in the combustion chamber of the cy-
finders of the motor. It would have
been less dangerous had Mr.. Kretch-
mer applied the torch when the tank
was full of gasoline, then only the
gasoline escaping and mixing with the
air would have burned. 1t is very
easy to think of these things after
serious accident has occurred such as
that of Friday, when it is too late to
save the life of splendid young man.
but, this is a gasoline age, and gaso-
lene is being used on our farms in an
ever increasing scale so it is wise to
mention these things now while they
have been brought to our attention in
such distressing manner, and thus
save the lives Of others. When it is
necessary to mend a tank in this man.
ner, fill the tank with water, clear to
the top and thus force the gas out,
then allow the water to drain off anG
allow tank to stand a day. Common
laundry soap will hold gasoline. APP
ply the soap over opening where the
gasoline is escaping and it will hold
until it hardens and bakes. When this
occurs, use some more soap, repeat ap-
plications of soap until opportunity
comes which will allow sufficient time
to fix as explained above.
A subscriber of this paper thinks
we ought to give still more publicity
to the catastrophe which occurred Fri
day last at the John Kretchmer farm
north of Oriska, in this county, which
resulted in the death of Mr. Joseph
Kretchmer, son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Kretchmer. Mr.. Kretchmer was at
tempting to stop a leak in large gas
oline tank, wagon tank, and was US
ing blow-torch. The tank was empty,
but had been full of gasoline. It is
not the gasoline that explodes but the
gas formed from it. The empty tank
was full of gas, strong mixture. You

of the raise this ore body was very
small, only an inch or SO wide, and as
the raise continues it has widened and
seems to be getting larger as the work
advances.
After viewing this part of the mine
return was made to the shaft, and
another crosscut entered and followed
for about two hundred feet, where a
vein, presumed to be the San Jose vein
has been cut, and here also, is fine ore,
but not so rich as in the raise.
A drift is being run, which is now
in about 100 feet, and the vein shows
solid and clean. This drift will be con-
tinued to connect with the one where
the raise is, thus showing the vein for
about $50 feet. From where the latter
drift leaves the crosscut the main
crosscut continues several hundred
eet, the intention being to open up an
other vein which crops out to the
northwest.
There is vast amount of work done
on the property, but as the workmen
were about to blast, it was time to get
out of the mine, and further descrip-
ton must be postponed until another
visit.
Enough was seen on the trip how
ever, to convince the Revelile man that
it is about time for the company to
build mill, for there is enough ore
now shown to make certain returns
on such an investment, from the two
hundred level up. The great expense
of shipping ore to the smelters has
made it necessary to send only the
very richest, and the ore which runs
less than thirty to fifty dollars ton
must be thrown into the waste. There

MCDOWELL SENDS
SPECIAL AGENTS

Marion, N. D., Oct. 4.-Special
agents have been sent to Fingal,
Barnes county, and to Mcintosh and
Barnes county to "counteract anti
loan talk which is jeopardizing the
success of the Liberty Loan drive in
North Dakota" Wesley C. Mcdowell,
state Liberty Loan chairman, said
this afternoon.
II am not in a position to say how
extensive this anti-loan propaganda
u.s." Mr.. Mcdowell said, ''but it must
and will be checked. North Oak ia
is operating on such a small marg.r
of oversubscription in this four III
campaign, that if one or two counties
fall down, the state will fail to mike
it's quota.
"And person or persons, who by
word or action jeopardizes the sue
cess of the loan in the state, is as
much an enemy to the United States
as the Germans in the trenches in
France, and will be dealt with ac-
cordingly."
While 20 counties have reported
being over the top, reports continue
to come in slowly, Mr.. Mcdowell
said.
The counties that ore over the top
are Burke, Burleigh, Dickey, Divide,
Dunn, Foster, Griggs, Grant, Mercer,
Nelson, Oliver, Renville, Sargent,
Steele, Towner, Rolette, Sioux, Slope,
Wells and Williams. .
81 am confident North Dakota will
raise it's quota and it must. There
must be no letup till it has," Mr.. Nc
Dowell said.

ed total in the state over SIS 900 600,
