of honor at dinner at the Leland

Mr.. Worst stated that what we need
most in our state is to educate our
own people and make them realize
that we are far better off than the
residents Of other states and induce
them to write to their friends in the
east urging them to come o North
Dakota to participate in the many
good things we have to offer.
He stated that the state immigra-
ton department has received thous-
ands of inquiries. w. S. Shaw sug-
gested that Mr.. Worst allot those in
quiries to various sections Of the state
that the immigration publicity from
such sections may be forwarded to
them and this will most likely be

coulee. One of the wheels of the
plane was broken, the carriage was
damaged and the propeller blades
were broken when the plane struck
the opposite bank. The machine was
not seriously damaged otherwise. The
aviators were slightly injured, botf
suffering bloody noses, but they have
now fully recovered.
They came to Minot soon after
with B. G. Witham, a farmers living
near by. They have refused to give
their names or to tell just where they
were going or from whence they
came. They told several stories. To
one who inquired they said they were
travelling from Des Moines, Ia, to
Shelby, Mont. They said they had
sent to Garden City, Ia, for new
parts and would resume their journey
as soon as they arrived.
Sheriff Schofield drove out and Sc
cured the number of the plane to see
if it correspondent with that of a
plane which had been stolen, and
found that it did not. The Sheriff
has been unable to learn that new
parts have been ordered. One report
is that the lads were enroute to Can
ada for supply Of fire wser, but
this cannot be substantiated.
Hundreds of people out Of curiosity
have visited the scene of the accident
to view the wrecked plane. The avi-
ators hang around the plane during
the day and come to Minot at night.
