Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 9. The State Board of Regents is in session hei*e. It is the second meeting of the board and a large number of the heads of the educational institutions of North Dakota are in attendance to dis cuss matters relating to their schools. Committees of the board, accompan ied by the secretary, have visited each state school since the last meeting and considerable information relative to the physical properties and the busi ness methods of the different institu tions has been obtained. This will be useful in the effort of the board to cre ate a uniform system of reports and accounts. On the recent tour of the state noth ing was done along educational lines and it is presumed that all matters of that nature will be left until a com missioner of education is selected. As the former boards of each school se lected the heads of the institutions and the members of the faculty, it is not likely that there will be any radical changes dnring the coming scholastic year. An educational expert may be selected scon to make a survey of the different state schools. His report will show the efficiency of the members of the faculty, the maximum number of hours each class room is used, the rel ative value of each building for edu cational purposes. His report may lead to a reclassification of some of the institutional work to secure the greatest possible results from the present existing conditions. The members of the board are ap parently greatly in earnest in their ef forts to give the people of the state as nearly as possible 100 cents on the dollar for the money spent for educa tional purposes in North Dakota. If the future commissioner of education should find there is needless duplica tion in the different institutions, the board will no doubt eliminate it in a prompt and decisive manner. There seems to be a disposition on the part of the members to insist upon each institution confining its activities with in the prescribed limits of the law creating it. WILL ASK TO SPEAK IN THE FARGO STREETS. Fargo, N. D., Aug. 9.—If the city commission does not recede from its stand taken against the "soap-box" orators, it was predicted at a mass meeting held last night that I. W. W.'s might come here and serious trouble result, and if the commission refuses to grant privilege of free speech on the streets, an ordinance will be initi ated. This gathering grew out of the ac tion barring Harry Rice, a Socialist, from conducting open-air meetings on the streets here under the auspices of the Fargo Socialist local. Three hun dred gathered at the hall. Resolutions were adopted urging "the inalienable rights of free speech be restored to citizens of Fargo." Among the speakers last evening were H. H. Aaker, former candidate for governor Atty. William Lemke, Attorney Harry Lashkowitz, A. T. Cole, editor of the Searchlight, and P. Myrvold, editor of the Fram. FREEZING OF ENSILAGE. Ensilage freezes mostly from the top and very little from the sides. The material of which a silo has been made ^has been found to make but little dif ference. Mr. Peters, Animal Hus bandman at the North Dakota Experi ment Station, states that the preven tion of freezing of ensilage consists largely in keeping out the cold from above first, by a good, tight roof (ventilator not needed) second, keep the doors closed third, place a cover over the ensilage. This can be made of bran sacks or whatever material is available. On top of this place*ight or ten inches of flax straw or hay. When removing ensilage fold back a part of the cover, as it is not necessary to take the ensilage from the whole surface each day in cold weather when it is protected in this way. Taking from a third of the surface each day will remove the whole layer in three days. It is also a good idea to have the ensilage sloping towards the sides of the silo. Frozen ensilage can be fed but it should be thawed out first —this can be done by leaving it in the barn for a few hours or else by spreading it near the center of the silo and covering it with the cover just described. An Early Mouse River Dam. The writer visited an old historic spot along the Mouse river on the Wm. Hecker farm Sunday, nine miles southeast of the city. Nearly twenty years ago, Albert Hay owned a por tion of what is now the Hecker farm and he conceived the idea that by dam ming up the Mouse river, he might ir rigate a few hundred acres of the val ley land. He built a large dam across the river, dragging in an immense number of great boulders and logs. The dam wasn't a success for the first flood washed it out. About half of the dam remains.

We doubt if there is another town in the Union where the common house fly is hunted with more direful ven geance than at Donnybrook. The cit izens and businessmen generally seem to have a relentless hatred of flies and with swatters, poison and various oth er means of destruction or torture, they are continually on the trail of some luckless fly. Speaking figura tively and with truth, there are no flies on Donnybrook. Jim McVeety of the City Market in augurated this war on flies and in con junction with Fred White, the drug gist, some three years ago advertised to pay a premium on flies and posted standing rewards of five cents per head on all flies caught in their stores. Never for a single moment has their vigilance relaxed and to this day you may observe citizens otherwise of a peaceful and staid character in pur suit of a lone fly, with hatred marked upon every liniament of his counten ance. McVeety is proprietor of the market that was awarded 100 per cent by the state inspectors. He is also owner of probably the most sanitary slaughter house in the state of North Dakota. Upon visiting it recently we were as tounded to observe but two hapless flies within the confines of the build ing. We were informed by McVeety that the building was constructed ac cording to plans furnished by the State Board, and it is perfectly adapt ed for the purpose intended. The floor and side walls are of cement, the floor sloping from each side to a gut ter which carries all the refuse liquids into a cess-pool located some distance from the building, a miniature railway carries the offal out into the hog pas ture a short distance from the house. The arrangement for slaughtering an imals is so perfect that one man alone can slaughter an animal weighing 1600 pounds. The animal is driven in to an enclosure where he stands upon a trap door and after knocking him upon the head, the butcher pulls a rope which opens a door into the slaughter ing room and at the same time tips the trap and the carcass is ready to be hoisted and dressed. An arrangement of tracks with roller bearing carriers are then attached and the dressed meat is then transported into the cool ing room—a room inclosed with wire netting, and here it stays until prop erly cooled before taken to the mar ket. In rooms opening off the main slaughter room is a room constructed of concrete for the reception of hides and another room in which the equip ment used in the slaughtering opera tions are stored. A convenient ar rangement is also provided for kill ing hogs, sheep, etc., a large table, mounted on heavy roller bearings af fords a means upon which the animal may be placed and taken to the im mense kettle of water kept at the de sired temperature for scalding, into which the carcass is doused by means of ropes and tackle, so arranged that one man can handle the largest ani mal. A deep well adjoining the build ing furnishes water which is pumped up into a large tank in the upper part of the building, and this is used to flush the floors, and other require ments. All in all, McVeety is to be compli mented for the advanced stand he has taken in the matter of sanitation in connection with his shop and slaughter house. It shows a degree of enter prise and a step in the right direc tion which is commendable. oline engine installed to operate it. with a steel dump tank, scales and every convenience that could be de sired. Mesdames April of Burlington and Schumann of Minot accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Falconer and chil dren of Minot, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Charles McKenzie from Fri day to Sunday. They came up to at tend the big dance given by the Mc Kenzies in the large barn which they have just completed on their farm. J. F. Chisholm has moved his large general store into the Barke-Wieman building and now has one of the finest and most up-to-date stores in the northwest. The building is ideally lo cated with large plate glass windows for display, and being a double store the several departments are separated and ample room is afforded to display the immense stock to the best advan tage. In addition the building has a full basement and has a modern steam heating plant. At the back of the store there is a rest room, fitted up with chairs, a couch and some easy chairs, making this one of the most popular features of the store. Mr. Chisholm does a large business in cream shipments, paying out over $800 for cream in June and an equal am ount in July. The shipment Saturday was 64 gallons, purchased from nine teen patrons. This department is in charge of John King. He has a room specially fitted up with tester and oth er equipment for testing and weighing the cream. Another department is to be added Sept. 1st. This will be a millinery de partment in charge of Miss Laura Pet ty, so long a popular clerk at the store of J. Schmidt & Sons. Miss Petty and Miss Christopherson of this store are now in St. Paul selecting a stock of milinery and equipment for this department. Miss Anna Christopherson of Carpio is clerking at the J. F. Chisholm store during the absence of her sister, Miss Hilda Christopherson, who is east on a buyine trip for the store. The Donnybrook schools will have two additional departments this year, giving the school a corps of eight in structors. A new superintendent has been engaged also.

John Sanden, formerly in the gen eral mercantile business at Donny brook, bought out the Workman store at Aurelia, restocking it with a fine assortment of general merchandise, and is doing a splendid business. Nick Nelson, so long with the Sanden Bros., is head salesman for Mr. Sanden and that in itself is sufficient surety of the success of the enterprise. Mr. Sanden informs us that he is enjoying a good trade in cream, handling immense quantities of that product, which is probably doing more as a side line to put farmers on their feet than any other phase of farming.

Wyndmere Pioneer: Many of our citizens very near became convinced Tuesday morning that the days of Adam and the palm leaf were really coming back in vogue when a man appeared on the depot platform clad in his birthday clothes plus a pair of pants which were facing the park in stead of main street. He was Alfred Inger, registered at the Hotel Wynd mere from Max, this state, and bound for Fergus Falls. Having failed to answer the call given him he awoke just in time to see the N. P. pull in and without whistling for crossings, stopping for water, paying his hotel bill or any further ceremonies, he hit the dirt for the N. P. with his shirt and other wearing apparel flapping in the breeze as though strung out behind a Buick six—and he made it, much to the entertainment of the on lookers.
