P. Baker is worth a million dollars.
At any rate, he is said to be one of
the richest men In North Dakota.
And how do you suppose Captain Ba-
ker made that much money—for he
made it all since he came to Bis-
marck? He made the beginning of It
running cUnunboaia on the Missouri
rlror. and he has been making money
with them ever since.
It isn’t generally known below
Rtoui City that the only regular navi-
gation on the Missouri at present is
west of Bismarck. That Is true, how-
ever, and Captain Baker's fleet is the
carrier of « commerce that frequently
runs an high as thirty thousand tons
in a season.
In fact, Captain Baker has serious- j
iy been considering the operation of j
boats through to Fort Benton. Years !
ago boats ran regularly to Fort Ben- j
ton. When the railroads went through |
Montana the business ceased, be-
cause the country was so sparsely set-
tled along Cue Missouri that there was
nothing for the boats to transport..
Now the valley Is being sullied up and
there Is a demand for transportation.
Captain Baker started in years ago
with one small boat. Now, through
the packet company, of which he is
the owner, ho operates a fleet of six
neats and several barges. Ail ex-

city. He covered a distance of about
25 miles in 54 minutes.
Very few people saw Ward begin his
flight from the aviation Held. News of

howeVer, and many roofs in the city
were packed when the airman made
his return flight. Leaving tiie aviation
field, he flew first, to the navy yard on
Cooper River, circling above the plant.
He then flew down the river and about
five miles to the city, over the upper
end of which be passed. Here he turn-
ed eastward, crossing the Cooper and
Wandc Rivers and the harbor al a
height of about 1,000 feet. Reaching
Rullivan’s Island, at the northern en-
trance to the harbor and on which
Fort Moultrie is siluatod, he ciiulcd
back over the harbor at a height of
about 2,000 feet, passing close to Cas-
tle Picnev. Heading seaward again,
he passed directly over Fort Sumter
at the entrance of the harbor and
swept about a mile and a half over
the waters of the open Atlantic.
Turning, he flew above the Isle of
Palms and Sullivan's Island and land-
ed on the beach in front of Fort Moul-

Arcadia, Tex.—It is impossible as
yet to name-the exact damage, if any,
to the orange-growing 'industry of the
Gaveston-Houston country as a result
of the recent extremely hard freeze
Monday and Tuesday. This was the
first, real test of the hardiness of the
trees since the industry has assumed
commercial importance,' and as far ae
can be learned no damage resulted be-
yond the placing of the trpe^ in a
somewhat dormant condition, which
merely incans that the trees will be
delayed a little in growth and that the
quality and quaniily of the fruit has
not been impaired. However, the fruit

providing experienced cooks for his

society who have much trouble with

ilniost ceased trading with him. jja i
j Inquired the reason and the woman
j told him wearily she would buy all he
^ had in hia store If he could got her a
I iook. -He promised to do so, and when
a weii-filied basket was deposited at
this woman’s door, a buxom southern
cook accompanied it. She said the gro-
cer had sent her, that she was n fine
I cook and would begin operations at
once, and she did with" most delightful
