sion Of the practical subject of "T'he
Best Way to Work the Ground for the
Wheat and Oats Crops" was very inter-
esting. The general conclusion arrived
ut was that ii is not necessary to plow the
ground oftencr than once in two years,
in the alternate years using the harrow
merely being all that is required. One Of
the reasons for this method is that by
merely narrowing the ground it is left
more compact, and thus will better retain
moisture.
The following resolution was adopted
Resolved, That after this date, except
when otherwise ordered, only members
in good standing whose dues arc fully

should be chosen as Our representative to
the constitutional convention. Not be-
cause l think he is the only man there is
in our county who is capable of repre-
sentiug US; not because think he under
stands the Fundamental, principles of u
state constitution any better than dozen
men whom l could name ; not because |
have any selfish ends l expect to gain by
his being delegate, but simply because 1
think MIR. Clayton has an education second
to none in our county. He was the first
settler in this county. and the county
should have been named Clayton instead
Of Emmons. as one was hardy pioneer
clearing the way for civilization, while
the other was a saloon keeper and was
only known as "The- Youn Man Not
Afrald-of His Whisky" Mr. Emmons
was nevera resident of thus county but
at one time he had to be bought by poll
licians, aud this was the price paid. His
name was attached to one Of the best
counties in Dakota. Now, Mr.. Gayton,
like every one, is fast advancing IN years,
and in short time he, too, must go the
way Of all old timers. Now, If it is an
honor to be delegate from this county
to the state constitutional convention,
who is there more deserving of that
honor than the gentleman in question:
If we have to look to the man who can
start out with the most friends, who is it

voters of this county consider the matter
thoroughly, and lay aside all little, petty,
selfish schemes, which WON'T t work in this
case, they will come to the conclusion
that James B. Clayton ought to be our

man seated without we all push together.
So let US get down and push like trained

/ONE of the saddest features of the re
cent prairie fires was the destruction of
Leola, the seat of government of the
neighboring county of Mcpherson 1t
occurred on that windy Tuesday, and the
town was practically wiped out. The
Offices and material of the Northwest and
the Blade, two of the best country papers
in Dakota, were complete loss.
Property to the extent of 500, 900 was
destroyed at Leola, and two men were
burned to death near the town.

As in rounding out most long winded
screeds there is a frantic effort to point
moral, we shall not be classed with the
exceptions. In the Steele papers (though
nowhere else) it is stated that Emmons,

to form convention district. Emmons
at the last election cast 467 votes for dele

If only for time, and then look for
strong friends. If you can't get there
yourself, don't place obstacles in; the way
of your neighbor who can. Tha, is the
height of meanness, and 1t wlllreact when
you least expect. OF one thing we may
be sure If the district prove to be us
named by the Republican aud Ozone. the
county with contestlng delegations will
drop into the porrldge.

THE county of Kidder seems to be en-.
joying great newspaper boom. Repub
llcan journals three in numbel she now
has. There is the Steele Republican and
the Ozone, and the Dawson Times. The
first seems to have been started 'te fill
long-felt want t'-simply--for, although
ably edited, its publisher certainly cannot
expect to scoop in great chunks of mate
rial prosperity with two wide-awake ri
walls in the field. The Ozone has just
been sold to stock company of Republic
cans, and Major Cerwln, the old editor
whose party was recently snuffcd out, is
retained IFS mechanical majordomo. Some
pessimistic editors say that Franks meth
ods in this instance are like unto All
SIMS, and that in things political the
major hath roon,y sleeve and beeswax
on his nails. They claim, in fact, that
the Ozone has Topped. But we have
seen no proof. 1t seems that a Dakota
democratic editor with wisdom would
want to sell out # Mr.. q. acts as me-
charical manager only, nobody is "out-
ragged" A printers or reporters politics
are not asked in newspaper office. If
the new company should let Frank slosh
around IN the editorial columns, then in
deed would the figure of long. wooled
Senegambian be distinctly visible at the
apex of the wood-pile. A paper reaches
us every week with smoke issuing from
the wrapper. 1t is published by gentle
man whom the Ozone speaks of as "Old
Hi" It is the Times Of Dawson, and the
"Old Hi referred to is Merchant Ray

agraphs III the Times which we thought

To the Editor Of the RECORD.
DEAR SIR: The impression seems to
prevail among the settlers of your county
that the present land-off1ce rules require
that all entries of land in Emmons county
must be made before the officers of the
county. This Is erroneous. The late
rule requiring FINAL PROOFS to be so made
has been rescinded, and now not only
final proofs, but all original entries, may,
in the option of the settler. be made at the
land Office. Please give this publicity.

the success of the farmers this year. If
