BURLINGTON

A party OF motorists from Los An
geles, California, cnroute home from
a trip to Chicago passed thru Bur-
lington Sunday and stopped at the
Harthouse Cafe for dinner. Asking
for chicken dinner they we're served
one that tickled their palate, to such
an extent that they told E. A.. that
his chicken dinners were the best they
had enjoyed anywhere along the road
and they would recommend his place
to all motorists they met. % ...t
Christina Perlichek returned to
Grand Forks Sunday where she will
complete her school work at the end
of the first semester. Be-
Mrs. Kirklie, mother of Charlie
Kirklie, fell down the cellarway at
Art Volkman's one day last week and
broke her leg. $
Messrs. Tralen & Peterson started
seven new men to work at the Union
Mine Monday This mine is now pro-
ducing in good shape and the quality
is first class. ~
Messrs. Thorson & Bogard have bot
the Kaufman mine at Foxholm and
will mine Ignite on an extensive scale
this fall and winter.
The Burlington City Mine is work.
ing both day and night shifts at their
mine south of town. At this mine
new entry is being driven into an i'm
mense body Of Ignite on the Foote q.
Drummer property south of the mines
old entry.
All the mines in the Burlington dis
trict are said to have signed the union
scale of wages with the exception of
the Midway. This mine will be oper-
ofoI
of the consequence. -
E. A. Harthouse has purchased
new Chevrolet business car to do his
trucking from Minot. The car is
dandy and it is said that E. A. can
make better time than ever on his
trips to the Wonder City. @a
One fact that should be borne in
mind by the Minot people and that is
that they should take steps to see that
the crawling on the federal highway
is completed from the end of the
gravel on the Burlington road, at
least as far as the coal mines. The
indications now are that this matter
will be neglected until it is too late.
A petition to the Board to do this
work at once may relieve considerable
suffering in case of fuel shortage
which now appears imminent.

Will Experiment With Winter Wheat
c. K. Christensen, we'll known
Ward county merchant, received a
shipment of winter wheat from Kalis-
pei, Montana, the first of the week
which he will seed on specially pre-
pared field at one of his Carpio farms.
G. X. purchased 1000 lbs. which he fig
ures will be sufficient to seed 10 or II
acres. This grain cost him $1.45 per
cwt. at Kalispell and the freight was
SLID per cwt. from Kalispel to Minot.
c. K. says that this grain grows from
eight to ten rows and yields in some
instances as high as 60 bushels per
acre. The normal yield, however, is
around 40 bushels per acre. In Mon
tana the flour mills use Is percent Of
winter wheat to rs percent of spring
wheat in the manufacture of the best
grades of -four. Custom grinding Of
wheat is compulsory in Montana. The
mills are allowed 35c per bushel for
