Thursday, April 24, Ifli. N.D. FARMER LOSES IN OREGON INDUCED TO MORTGAGE FARM IN THIS STATE AND BUY OR CHARD LAND AT BIG PRICE Grand Forln, April 24.—Another North Dakotan ha* found that the pot attached to the lower end of the rain bow contains—not gold, but ashes not future hopes but disappointment and loss. A recent issue of the Melrose, Oregon, Press is quoted as follows: "Alleging that he was hoodwinked as to climate and soil conditions, qual ity and value of soils, and earning op portunities, Wm. E. Plaman, of Mc Kenzie, N. D., has filed an action for $4,000 damages in the circuit court here agaist the Southern Oregon Or chard Company, which in June, 1910, sold him nineteen acres of Melrose or chards, Plaman say? the land cost the company $7.50 to $30.00 per acre, but that under false representation, in veigled him him into going into pur chasing agreement at $150.00 per acre, on which he paid $5,000 down. To make this payment he says, and to pay the expenses of hifiiseif and fam ily in coming here, he mortgaged his $8000 farm in North Dakota for $1000 and he is about to lose this on a fore closure. Among other things which Plaman says the company told him was that the land at Melrose would yield in the apple crops an average profit of $791 an acre for seven consecutive years, that a railroad line was being built past the place and that the lands in the neighborhood were advancing in price as high as $250.00 an acre. Up on personal investigation he says he found these assertions to be gross falsehoods and same location could be bought for not over $25.00 an acre. ANDERSON TO DISTRICT COURT MAN ALLEGED TO HAVE KILLED BANKER AT WASHBURN WAIV ED EXAMINATION Washburn, N .D., April 18.—When W. T. Anderson was arraigned in justice court this morning charged with first degree murder in connec tion with the death of F. E. Funk, cashier of the First National bank Monday evening, he waived examina tion and has been held to the district court for trial. The court will con vene on June 9 and it is probable that Judge Nicholas of Mandan will preside. When Anderson was brought into court it was evident that he and his attorney has prepared their course and were ready to waive examination and in fact Anderson stated that he did not want to hear the charge read. Anderson will have to remain in jail until the court convenes at those charged with murder in the first de gree are not admitted to bail in this state unless on an appeal to the su preme court and that will not be tak en in this case. Justice of the Peace Karl Klein was the magistrate before whom the preliminary hearing was held. There appeared to be no new devel opments in the case up to the present time. Of course there is a lot of idle gossip about the streets but there is nothing to base most of it upon. The circumstances as they were first brought out continue to be about the same. Anderson refuses to talk and simply declares he is innocent of any crime but refuses to state what his theory is. AGRICULTURE IN SCHOOLS Grand Forks, April 24.—There is a very strong movement upon foot which has for its aim, the introduction of Agricultural instruction in our country schools. It is important that our boys and girls stay upon the farm and to aid in this, the country school should add its far reaching influence. In discussing this matter before the Grand Forks Commercial Club re cently, a prominent Educator said: "Advocating that the boys and girls stay on the farm, and at the same time teaching city subjects in the rural schools, is contradictory. If the boys and girls are taught one thing, they cannot be expected to want to do something else even if they are ad vised to. A few years ago the ques tion was asked the boys and girls in thirty-four schools in Wright coun ty, Iowa—"What do you want to do?" Of the 164 boys, 157 wanted to leave the farm and 168 of the 174 girls wanted to do likewise. After agricul ture and home economics had been taught for three years, the same ques tion was asked in the same schools. This time 162 of the 174 boys and 161 of the 178 girls wanted to stay on the farm. This changing an almost unanimous desire to leave the farm to an almost unanimous desire to stay 0* the farm seems miraculous yet it News of the Great Northwest was done through making a little dung* la the course of atady. It is simple, however, for the hays and girls will want to do the things they have beta taught to do. Their in terest wil be developed in thing* they are taught. They will see more in •them than in things they know less about. Mandan, N. D., April 23.—The men engaged in burrowing the well at the Experiment Station, completed their ta»V today.

D., April 27.—A long string of black beads with an ani mal claw between each six was found by Judge Curley in his garden here. It is supposed to have originally been the property of some Indian chief ana the judge has been offered a nice price for the find but refuse to part with it.

The great cantor deplored the fact, that the pianos of his time were deficient in this, and his constant endeavor was to overcome this deficiency by his technique that is, to play the pianoforte as much as possible in a sing ing manner, and to compose for it accordingly.
