TELEPHONE MANAGERS HERE

A. A. Purchare, manager of the
Grand Forks district, which includes
Pembina, and Division Manager L.
D. Richardson of Fargo, of the Nor
thwestern Bell Telephone company
were in the city Friday looking over
the lines and among other things
seeing what could be done to adjust
the tangle between the Bathgate-
Neche rural company and the Nor
thwestern with reference to the sub
scribers between here and Neche.
When the Neche line was constructed
into Pembina in 1906 the citizens of
Pembina donated to Mr.. Corson, the
promoter, something like $500 to con-
meet these subscribers with the
N. w. T. Co., here. This was done
and for several years they could use
the phones in the Pembina circuit,
which Includes Toilette, St. Vincent
and Humboldt without charge. But
in later years as the N. w. T. Co.
has been getting new managers and
the Corson lines sold to other par
ties these arrangements have been
objected to for it brings nothing to
the Northwestern for their services.
It is expected that the matter will
be amicably adjusted, but it may
take some time.

TURKEY PRICES BASED
ON BIRDS CONDITION

Because the price received by tur.
key raisers Of North Dakota on the
Thanksgiving market depends large.
lily on the condition in which they are
received on the market, turkeys that
do not grade No. 1 might as we'll be
fed for the Christmas market, &C.
cording to a statement made by O.
A. Barton, poultry specialist at the
North Dakota Agricultural College
this week in answer to inquiries about
marketing poultry.
"The old birds that are to be sold,
and the well grown young ones that
are not to be retained for breeding
purposes are best sold at Thanks
giving tine," according to Mr.. Bar
ton. ''They should be shipped early
enough SO that they arrive at the
market three to five days before the
holiday.
A little feed given to- the turkeys
now may mean several cents pound
more on the market, and more weight
for the dressed bird, says Mr.. Bar
ton. The best turkey raisers remem-
Der that turkeys are graded not only
on their f1eshed condition and size,
but largely on the condition of the
skin and the care that was used in
removing the pin feathers. No.
turkeys must be well grown and well
fleshed, free from pin feathers and
any blemishes on the flesh and skin.
"In packing turkeys for shipment
cracker and sugar barrels have been
found most convenient" Mr.. Barton
states. "The barrel should be clean,
however, and lined inside on the bot
tom and on top with clean paper.
The top can them be covered with
clean cloth and securely nailed. It
is always wise to grade turkeys care
fully, packing those of similar grade
in the same barrel and marking the
barrel No. 1. No. 2, or culls, accord
ing to the grade.
Turkeys are best killed by the
sticking method, then dry-picked
quickly. and thoroughly cooled for at
least "a hours before packing. The
beard and a slight ring of feathers
on the neck and on the wing tips are
usually left. Be sure the birds are
well bled, thoroughly cooled, free
from pin feathers, and the head care
fully wrapped in paper.

Among The
Game Birds

MI. Archie McDougall is back to
his run on the Canadian National
railway between Pembina and Win
nipeg after an absence Of month.
Most Of the time he spent at Brad
enburry, Saskatchewan hunting ducks
geese and chickens. Mr.. McDougall
said that he had the time Of his life
among the game in that section. It
was no trouble to get the limit the
law allowed any time he went out,
and the farmers in that locality were
pleased to have hunters come to keep
the game from destroying their
grain. They would dig pits in the
stouble fields after the shocks were
removed and lay there waiting for
the flights to come. He said that
the honkers decoyed well and the
mallards were so big and fat after
feeding ON the grain that they re-
sembled more a small goose than a
duck.
e . -
The honkers weighed on an aver
age from Is to 20 pounds and he
killed several dozen of them. The
grouse is more plentiful than the
regular prairie chickens we have here
and they can be hunted without dogs
on account of being so numerous.
To verify his statements Mr.. Nc
Dougall brought back with him some
of the birds, including an 18 pound
goose. When he left Bradenburry
there was nearly foot of snow on
the ground which came the last few
days and the game birds were leav-
ing for the south. That district is
full of sloughs and small lakes and
many of these birds hatch in the
neighborhood, said Mr.. McDougall.

NUMBER %.
Visit St. Vincent
Monday Night

Craftsmen entered the Great Nor
thern depot at St. Vincent Monday
night by way of a window and tap
ped the safe and looted the place in
general.
The work of tapping the safe was
that of expert hands, ,>who would be
rather disappointed with the contents,
as there was only about one dollar
left In the safe the evening before
and the revolver belonging to the
agent. The revolver was carried
away with the little bit of change.
Every freight and express package
in the depot was torn open and loot
ed, and considerable loss estimated,
Nothing was left untouched.
The work Of tapping the safe was
done with tools stolen from the ma
chine shop of Mayor Munro, which
consisted of hammers, pipe wrenches,
chisels, files, and the best drills he
had in the shop. The combination
tumbler in the safe door was pr,ed
completely from it's seat, and the
door opened by working back the
locking studs, through the space left
by the removed tumbler.
No clues as yet have been found
that might lead to the arrest of the
guilty parties. Railroad detectives
have studied the situation and are
at work patching odds and ends TO-
gether for a lead to identify the par
ties.

"BIG BEN" BUSY
Ringing of Bell Somewhere Among the Audience Attracts Considerable Attention in a Local Theater.

The women are still in the lead. They have often boasted that they have been the originators of unique and novel ideas to attract attention and probably the most novel stunt for attracting the attention of at least ,000 people occurred last evening in a local theater.
 A young woman on the stage was about to finish her song when sud- denly there was muffled "Br-r-r-r" in the audience. The actress had fin isned her song when loud "Br-r-r-r" of an alarm clock was heard to ring throughout the auditorium. Every ones attention had been drawn to one of the spectators sitting in the orchestra of the theater who was en deavoring to conceal the instrument which gave forth the loud ring.
 Hands were placed over the SUD- posed Big Ben," it was concealed un- der clothing but evidently nothing could make it stop ringing and until the time limit had been reached the theater audience was greatly amus- ed. When the clock had stopped ring ing the audience became settled once more and the people proceeded to watch the entertainers on the stage

SKELETONS SOLVE MYSTERY.
Couple Who Had Plenty of Money
 Missing for Years

Tulsa, Okla, Oct. 26.-Mystery surrounding the disappearance in March, 1887, of Eldon Wheeler and his bride, who were driving overland from St. Louis to Guthrie, then in Oklahoma territory, is believed to have been accidentally solved.
 In eXcavating for a warehouse at Slick, 35 miles west of Tulsa, work men for the Skelly Oil company found skeletons of a man and woman. But tons from the mans shirt and his teeth were found in fairly good state of preservation, and the blond hair of the woman also was we'll pre- served.
 Little Red Dog, a Creek Indian. 90 years old who has lived on Deep Fork, between Bristow and Slick, for 51 years, recalled the disappearance of the Wheelers when the skeletons were found. He said that they were en route to Guthrie to establish a cattle farm and had plenty of money. Ii is believed they were killed and buried, as their team and wagon aft erward were found near the Nuyaka Indian Mission
 A prolonged search from Sapulpa, where they were last seen in March, 1887, to Guthrie failed to reveal any trace of the couple.
