A petition signed by the business men OF
Hope has been sent to MIR. Allen Marvel, gen.
eral manager Of the St. P, N. l. NJ, request
ing the company to increase the present tri-
weekly train service to a daily during the
spring and summer months. There does not
appear to be anything unreasonable In this re-
quest, and compliance with it. We believe.
would lead to increased travel over tho line,
We have waited with patience now for two
years in The belief that an early extension of
the Hope branch would be made to some point
connecting with the western extension Of the
Manitoba, and that we should then enjoy the
facilities incident to being on one Of the main
lines of the system. Wo have seen surveying
parties come and 90; we have been told that a
profile had been approved and adopted: we
have seen party cross sectioping the line
thus approved. and our hopes seemed on the
very point of being realized, when 10, change
In the programme has been decreed and our
anticipations disappointed. But still We did
not murmur. We still had faith in the near
future bringing change for tho better. 1t is
because we have had this faith that the people
have raised no protest nor made any complaint
when our women and children have been COM
PEELED to ride in coaches the atmosphere of
which was thick with the smoke Of bad to-
bacco emitted from sinking pipes and redo

because they could not remain in the coach
and breathe its polluted atmosphere. Now,
when there 40 longer seems prospect Of an
early extension, the people believe they have a
right to aak for increased facilities of COM
municatiOn during the business season as
something to which they are OF right entitled.
We are perfectly we'll aware that delays on
railroads are sometimes unavoidable, and the
other things may be, and perhaps are, matters
OF which the general and division officers of
the railroad may be in entire ignorance
Of. But We cito them to show that there has
been no disposition on the part of the people
to be hypercritical. Aud for this reason we
hope Mr.. Marvel will give due consideration
othe request Of the people for Increased mail
and transportation facilities. We know that
railroads, like other business, are conducted
for the purposs Of ey-making, and that
the officers Of a roa1 are better judges Of what

Want the Hard Wheat.

The London Miller is an influential English
Journal published in tho interest CT the -four
mills of Great Britain. The following extracts
from a recent issue will interest all concerned
in the production of hard wheat:
"For more than year past we have urged
upon the mllers Of Great Britain the obtaining
by some means or other better values for the
money which they expend on the purchase
OF American Northwestern wheat **It is
difficult to compete with the flour mllled in
Minneapolis from wheat selected and, in many
cases. bought from the farmer direct. There
fore, we pressed opOn our milers the absolute
necessity Of taking steps TO place themselves
on even terms with their competitors in Min
neapols. To do 80 much they had, after all,
only to band together aud put themselves in
direct communication with the wheat growcre,
whether In the United States or In Canada.
$50 They hail the prospect with exceeding
Joy. To them, the appearance In Dakota OF
stbe agentsSof q ayndicate Of British millers
bondage to the elevator men and the great
merchant mills. We know that in that region
Is raised some of the most desirable wheat
grown on this earth. Here, II ever, is clear
case of exchange of mutual benefits. n
There is very little prospect OF the
millers Of Great Britain handling the
choicest wheats Of either Dakota or Manitoba
until they place themselves, either in person
or by some trustworthy deputy, face to face
with the wheat growers of thcGs regions Then
would they be able to purchase grain which
ARs no superior in the world, and probably at
less figure than they now pay for an inferior
article AS the difference between the price
Of what at Valley City and at Liverpool aver
ages 15 cents per bushel in addition to the cost
of transportation, the British miller will be
able to afford an advance of 10 cents to the
Dakota farmer, and yet keep margin for
fair profit. His gain would be cents on the
busheJ, plus the acquisition of No. hard in
lieu of wheat passes as that grade in London or
Liverpool. To our way of thinking the pur-
chase Of such wheat would alone compensate
the miller for bis journey West, for whatever
the British buyer paid in advance of the rates
now current in Dakota would necessarily be
paid by his American competitors as well.
Hitherto the miIlers Of Minneapolis and the
Northwestern states generally have enjoyed
the advantage of buying some Of the choicest
wheat grown on their own or any other cont-
nent at their own price, and that is the back
bone Of the american competition" which
has grown year by year more formidable on
our markets. Remove that advantage and the
American merchant miller will be in no better
position than his British brother, but rather in
n of huv ol,a @b.;
to Dakota aud Manitoba, and the shipment of
-four from the new world will shrink in all
probabilities 10 very modest dimensions.

About Tree Claims. :

With your consent will give nv exper,ence
and what have noticed in our country in re.
gard to timber culture. In the first place our
tree claims are nearly all treeless, and for this
our laws are to blame In a great measure.
great many take tree claims that never in
tend to grow trees; they are merely complying
with part OF the law to hold the claim until
they can sell or convert it into homestead or
presumption. This is great mist,ke in our
law. tree claim once should always be one.
and II sold the buyer should commence where
the seller left 1t and 60 on with the trees. II
1t were 80, we would see great many more
groves growing up on our prairies.
have noticed few mistakes in regard to
planting trees on our tree claims; the ground
not being thoroughly subdued before planting.
so the trees can be thoroughly cultivated as
they should be. There Is a mistake in plant
Ing seeds, for that has been thoroughly tried
here. The weeds come up with the plants
aud 1t Is hard to discern the plants from the
weeds, which makes proper cultivation i'm
possible, and consequently it is left over for
another year. I know Of some claims that
have been planted two or three times to seed
with the same disastrous result. would ad-
wise planting rooted trees or fresh cuttings,
and not allow weeds to grow among them till
they are large enough to take care of them
selves. Some have the opinion that the weeds
should be left to grow among the trees to pro-
tect them from winter killing. This is mis-
take. Give the tree the advantage of all tho
moisture in the ground and 1t will root down
and make strong growth to withstand the
winter, when II the weeds were left to grow
among the trees, the trees would be weak and
puny, and the natural result in the spring
would be dead tree, or 80 badly stunted that
it would take long time for it to recover.
planted five acres of cottonwood trees two
years ago this spring. Notwithstanding the
dry weather they made strong growth, some
making growth OF eight feet. That is as
good as ever saw in Iowa. planted five
acres last spring, mostly cottonwooda, some
boXelders and ash. The trees were in bad
condition when received. They were badly
dried out in the boxes; not over so per cent OF
them grew. The boxelders and ash made
very small growth. The cottonwood give the
best results. I have tried soft maple and wal
nut but they are not hardy. At this writing
my trees are green to the top and have not
suffered any through the hard winter.
Let US hope that every ono owning tree
claim will try and raise trees and not weeds.

From comparatively unknown factor in the
commercial world, it has been transformed to
an independent, influential, grand Through
