One of the huge Mallet com pound engines which the Great Northern is having built for work in the mountains, passed thru the city last week and many Mi not people visited the yard to see the monstrous piece of machine ry. The engine is of the com pound pattern and is really two engines, two cylinders being used instead of one and having twelve drive wheels. It is one of the largest engines in the world, and can haul a. 1100 ton load over a 2.2 per cent grade. Its size can be judged from the fact that it weighs 350,000 pounds without the tender and with that tips the scales at 503,000 pounds. It is being taken west for work in the mountains where its type have proved their value as mountain climbers with heavy loads. Will Consider Amendments. Bismarck, Sept. 21.—Among the issues that will face the voter this tall will be two constitution al amendments pertaining to the investment of thecommon school !:unds. One which is to be voted upon this fall, which allows the board of university and school lands to buy, in addition to those securities heretofore pur chased, bonds issued by coun ties, townships and municipali ties in this state. The other amendment must pass the com ing legislature before it can go to the people. It adds to the list drainage bonds and the bonds of other states which have never repudiated their indebted ness. In view of the fact that there is lyincr in the state treasury over $."500,000 of this school fnnd uninvested, there ought to be no opposition to either of these amendments. Secretary of Board of Univer sity and School Lands W. L. Stockwell has addressed a letter to the state pres3, urging the adoption of these amendments. ttUfrPUfcHNfr MATCH Jealous Wife Follpws Rival to Minot and a Fierce Hgbt En sues—Victim Leaves the Ho tel Hatless Thru the Rear and is Seen no More—Re ward Offered. Miss Nellie Smith, aged nine teen years, disappeared mysteri ously from the Scandinavian ho tel Wednesday afternoon of last week, and all traces of her have been lost. Miss Smith arrived in Minot a few days before that time from Mooaejaw, Can., In tending to take up work at the Minot Business College. A re port has it that she was infatu ated with a married man at Moosejaw and wrote him asking him to meet her at the Scandina vian hotel in Minot. The wife of the man secured the letter and came down instead of her hus band. When the two women met at the hotel there was a genuine hair-pulling match and Miss Smith escaped after her clothes had been badly torn. This was the last seen of her. She went out the back end of the hotel. Miss Smith is described as be ing five feet and two inches tall, light hair and blue eyes and weighs 145 pounds. The police offer a reward of $25 for the young woman's ap prehension. Another Swindle. The farmer is always getting it. They are again victims of gross frauds. A few men have been reaping a rich harvest by going through the country repre senting themselves as govern ment agents and telling the farm ers the government will not de liver them their mail unless their boxes are numbered. The farm er, not knowing that it is a fraud, readily falls into the trap and pays the men the fee of 25 cents, or 50 cents or whatever the case may be. The rogues, however, made one serious mis take and that was not being familiar with the numbers to go on the boxes. A number of the farmers became suspicious and reported the matter to the postal authorities. A strict watch is being kept and should the men be apprehended, it will go hard with them, for your Uncle Sam will not trifle with those who violate the postal laws. North Dakota Lost Five Million A gentleman who has been in the northern portion of North Dakota recently stated to an In dependent reporter that the crop yield would hardly average ten bushels to the acre. He figures that the price of wheat at the present time should be at least 10 cents higher than it is. The present price is undoubtedly based on the report of Jones, the estimator, who says the yield for the state is 100,000,000 bushels, or about twenty bushels to the acre, The 10 cents a bushel, which this erroneous report has caused the farmers to lose, would amount to about five million dol lars. It would not be safe for Estimator Jones to show up in North Dakota at the present time, or at any other time as far as that is concerned.
