Modern Man Is More

Despite the theory that luxury

of work-reducing devices are max

cally than were his ancestors, &C
cording to Herbert c. Hooks, secre

Scientists declare our ancestors
were shorter in stature, had brittle
bones and other physical defects
and were much more susceptible to

Modern man is healthier be-

losses or trouble from, digestive
arrangement occurred.
Officials of the bureau of animal
industry who have been co-operat-
ing with the Idaho board of sheep
commissioners in a study of the
causes of mortality among sheep
point out that proper diagnosis OF
sheep diseases is essential in all
cases. They also are confident that
greater attention to feeding, man
agement and sanitation will greatly
reduce the loss both from diseases
and other causes.
DR.. F. E. Murray, in charge of the
bureaus office at Salt Lake City
estimates the preventable losses
which are we'll within the control
of sheepmen themselves, at about
S250,000 annually in the inter
mountain region. This is a con-
sentative appraisal of the annual
toll aside from the hazards that
are difficult to prevent, such az
those caused by predatory animal:
and exposure.
In the opinion of department spe-
cialists, fully Is per cent of the
preventable losses are due to I'M
proper feed or feeding conditions
The remaining 25 per cent of tbs
losses are accounted for by dis
eases, parasites, poisonous plants
and miscellaneous causes.

The cattle market this week de-
veloped considerable activity at
strong to higher prices. This is
the first material improvement in
the trade for some time past, and
conditions are favorable for con-
tinuation of strong demand for
classes that show any material
amount of dry feed. The prime
yearlings and light weight classes
continue to meet an urgent demand
The hog market, though still unset
tied, developed smaller price fluc-
tuations than last week, and to
that extent the trade is more set
tied. Sheep and lambs were sharp
ly lower.
This weeks receipts: Cattle, 26,

mixed were 35c to SOC higher this
week. The good to choice kinds
were up 25c to 35c, and plain to
fair classes were only slightly

the weeks trade centered around
the yearling classes and the active

Beck, musician and leader Of boys
orchestra here, convicted Of statu-
tory offense in district court here
and who this week began serving a
2h year sentence in the state peni-
tentiary at Bismarck, is innocent if
facts are true as set forth in an af-
fidavit signed by a woman and. chief
witness in the case and WHICH docu-
ment has been presented to States
Attorney C. E. Lounsbury. The wo-
man, married and living in northern
Minnesota, says in the affidavit that
she was induced to testify falsely
against Beck under threats. Those
accused of threatening her denied
her charges.
The Beck case went to the state
supreme court, which upheld the dis

the case upon effort Of Beck's wife
who had sworn to the original COM
plant against him.
Officials are further investigating

TROOPS START
MIMIC BATTLE
Army and Navy Forces Open
"Hostilities'' For Island
(Rv The Associatad prassl

(By The Associated Press)
Honolulu, April 25.-The battle for
possession of the island of Oahu,
goal of the joint army-navy maneu-
vres, started at 6:15 this morning.
Contact was established, when a
contingent of the "blue" attacking
forces, rushed fortress held by the
'black" troops defending the island.
The cruisers and destroyers form
ing the fringes of the "blue" fleet
were sighted by observers for the
"black" forces off the island in a
general southeasterly direction. The
"blue" attack signalized the start of
the most extensive peacetime ma
neuvres ever staged by the United
States army and navy.
For purposes of the military exer-
else, it is assumed that the Hawaiian
Islands are in possession of another
power and that the United States
is trying to capture them. The
islands are defended by military
forces already there, including the
territorial national guard. The at
tack is being made by the United
States grand fleet which also carries
a landing force of United States
Marines.

Wadena, Minn., April 25-With
completion of jury at a night ses-
sion Friday, witnesses were placed
on the stand today in the murde r
trial of Buck" O'Connors, convict
charged with the Staying of John
Goings of Darlington, N. D..
Five women and seven men COM
prise the jury.
Four witnesses were called By the
state at this mornings session. Tes-
timony included for the most part
circumstances surrounding the find
ing Of the body Of Goings in corn
shock near here and the cause of the
death. The first witness was a Mr..
Murphy, banker of Darlington, who
told of the issuance of cashier S
checks to Goings before he left Car
rington, and the subsequent arrival
of the vouchers with forged sigma
lures.
O'Connor is serving time in Still
water for the forgery of Goings'
name to the checks. He was brought
here for the trial. The other wit
nesses were DR.. J. J. McKinnon, Wa
dena county coroner, and Paul keny-
on, who assisted DR.. McKinnon in
the autopsy, and w. w. King, farm
er, who found the body of Goings.
The defense is expected to be bas-
ed on a story told to authorities

O'Connor left the Goings machine
when they were stalled without gas
in "some Minnesota town." and found
the car gone when he returned. In
the machine at the time, according

MEN TRAPPED
IN SHAFT BY
FLAMES SAVED
Fourteen Miners Fight Way
Through Fire to Safety
BY Own Efforts
REACH TOP UNHURT
Battle Way to Main Shaft
Through Blaze and Calmly
Ring For Cage
REACH TOP UNHURT
(By The Associated Press)

Wallace, Idaho, April 25-Fourteen
miners. who subdued fire on the
1900 foot level Of the Hecla silver
lead mine at Burke, seven miles
from here, and escaped by their own
efforts late yesterday afternoon af-
ter being trapped in the mine for
more than twelve hours are the
heroes OF Burke today and many
stories are being told of their brav-
cry and resourcefulness in the face
OF the danger which threatened their
lives.
After battling smoke and flames
for several hours, the men reached
the main shaft and calmly rang for
the cage. They were hoisted to the
surface, hungry and tired from the
strain forced upon them, but other
wise unharmed.
When the alarm was sounded all
men working in the mine were soon
hoisted to safety except the fourteen
who were two miles away in the Star
workings, with the dense smoke and
flames barring their way. The men
first learned of the fire which broke
out in the pumping plant near the
shaft on the 1000 foot level short
ly before midnight Thursday. They
were able to get fairly close to the
fire, as the draft was taking the
smoke away from them. shift boss
Herbert r. Uhotf, in charge of the
men in the Star workings, declared
last night.
All day long yesterday while anxi
Gus relatives and friends awaited
word from the miners, United States
mine rescue crews poured water
down the shaft of the mine upon the
blaze that had broken out shortly be-
fore midnight in the pump station of
the 1000 foot level.
Meanwhile, helmet crews, equipped
against the dangers that lurk in the
underground borings Of the mines,
waited impatiently at the head of
the shaft, until the flames had been
sufficiently controlled and the shaft
had cooled enough to permit them to
enter the tunnel in search of the i'm
prisoned workmen.
Yesterday afternoon, they sent the
mine cage to the 1000 foot level and
it came back only warm. Then three
of them went down, under command
of Karl T. Sparks, chief engineer of
the mine rescue crews of the Couer
D'Alene Mining district. 1t was not
long before they came up again and
reported conditions improved. Soon
the entrapped miners themselves
came up the shaft.

LAND SALES
REPORTED IN
THIS COUNTY
Farm Property Near This
City Changes Hands in
Past Few Weeks

Indications of prosperity among
the farmers of Burleigh county
and that they are aware Of the op-
portunities to be had here are seen
in the number o. recent land sales
made in this county.
Among the sales of the past
week or so have been that of the
Cochrane place, south of Fort Lin
coin by P. B. Webb tn Ralph and
Joseph Buckmyer. The purchas-
ers will improve the buildings now
on the place and will make it their
home and within another year or
so expect to have one of the incest
farms close to the city. The De-
troit Loan and Investment COM
pany Of Detroit, Minn., has sold to
Kustaa Lehot quarter section
near Wing and Mr.. Lehot Las also
bought another quarter section in
the same neighborhood from D. E.
Worthley while Mathew Nicholson
has sold to Will Bank another
tract near Regan. Simon Cough
nour has also purchased tract
near Dry Point from H. H. Steele.
More land sales have been made
since the first of the year than in
two or three years together before
that and every sale has been made
to an actual farmer who wants
some particular piece of land ad-
joining his farm or perhaps for
one of his boys.
To those who are familiar with
the land business in the west, such
sales as are now being made are
the first signs of revival in busi-
ness in that line and are the first
signs of good movement and in
crease in values.
Those who are familiar with val
ues over the state unite in saying
that prices are cheaper in Burleigh
county than in any county in the
state, and this is especially true
when it is considered that Burleigh
county is one of the banner corn
counties of the state and that corn
has been, for years, the best pay
ing crop the farmers have raised.
Corn at 75c per bushel is q better
crop than wheat at $1.25 per bushel
as corn puts the land in excellent
condition for the succeeding crop
Of small grain.

EARLY SPRING
BRINGS GOOD
CROP REPORTS
Farmers in Northwest Grain
District Are Optimistic
Over Prospects

! Conditions throughout the foI1
northwestern grain states during
the past week continue to point to
a very favorable crop season, ac-
cording to reports reaching here
today. General rains are reported
over the entire state o. North Da-
kota and portions of Montana, and
local rains in Minnesota and South
Dakota. There is now ample mois-
ture over the whole territory to
germinate and start the crop sat
isfactorily.
Spring seeding in Minnesota and
South Dakota is finished and much
CT the early sown grain is we'll
above ground, showing good stand
and color. Flowing is generally
completed and farmers are prepar-
ing the ground for corn. Planting
will probably start about the first
Of May. No scarcity of seed corn
is reported and the intended acre
age is apparently about the same
as that of last year.
Reports from North Dakota in.
dicate that seeding is practically
completed, with the exception of
the northwestern part of the state.
In the central and southern dis
tricts some OF the grain is already
coming through the ground. There
is a noticeable increase in the acre
age sown to oats and barley, and
farmers are anticipating planting
more sweet clover and alfalfa than
in past seasons.
The early spring and generally
favorable conditions, have been
particularly beneficial to Montana,
and all farm work is much further
advanced than is usual at this time
of the year. In the eastern part of
the state 1870 of the seeding is
completed. while in the northern
areas it varies from 40 to 6Oee.
There will be a large increase in
spring wheat in the central and
southern districts due to the plow-
ing up and reseeding of abandoned
winter wheat acreage.
Most o. the fall sown rye in the
northwest seems to have come
through the winter fairly well, but
is rather slow to start, and pres
ent reports show it to be some
what spotted and uneven in devel-
opment.
Present indications point to an
increase in the flax acreage, both
in North and South Dakota, partic-
ularly in the districts west of the
Missouri river, where much new
ground is being broken.
Farmers are optimistic as to the
crop situation at this time. Seed
ing will probably be completed
from ten days to- two weeks earlier
than last year. If conditions fol
the next few weeks continue as
favorable as at present, it is prob
able that the total acreage cropped
in this territory will be the largest
for several years.
