terest of o matter Of fact the original bill
of this session for repeal of the timber
culture laws was house bill No. 54O4, intro
duced by Congressman Picker, of South
Dakota, January 20, 1890. The bill that
passed the senate, referred to, was Senator
Plumb's substitute for house bill 54O4, and
was passed Sept. 18th inst. Another par
agraph going the rounds says that This
(Hansbrough's) bill has passed. after a
great struggle on his part to create an ad-
ditional land Office ia North Dakota. This
bill was introduced by Senator Pierce and
passed the senate months ago, and it was
through his efforts among the house men,
bers that Speaker Reed allowed it to be
considered in the house when it was done.
The courtesy of making the motion was
given Hansbrough-that was all.

Stanton Pilot: G.. P. Thurston, who
lives at the Gordon ranch. in Oliver county
was a victim of the recent heavy storm
that passed over a portion of that county.
His buildings are situated in a narrow val
ley and when the cloud burst the water
came down with terrible force tearing out
an end of the house and destroying his
grain stacks. He and his family were
compelled to leave the house and wade
through 4 feet of water. As the storm came
at night it was impossible to save any
thing that was in the track of the food.
Mr.. Thurston's loss is heavy and will be
more severe coming at this season of the
year. Mr.. Thurston and family have the
sympathy of his friends in their loss.

Uncertain crops are bringing the raising

Uncertain crops arc bringing the raising
of wheat into disfayor, and farmers are
looking for other eud surer crops. A
farmer near Sioux Falls raised this year
twenty acres of sugar beets. The yield wa
twenty tons to the acre, worth where
manufactured into sugar 81 per ton. This
makes $50 per acre, or four times as much
as can be made out of wheat, ever with
good crops and good prices. An expert
ment with the sugar beet in Stutsman
county resulted i'll beets twice the size of
those ordinarily grown, and it is believed
that Dakota soil is peculiarly adapted for
them. The sugar beet industry is bound
to grow.-Edgeley Mail.

Judging from the following letter from

the general land Office, Colonel Louns-
berry's work as a special agent of the Office
is appreciated at Washington, as we'll as in
Dakota:
Department of the Interior, General
Land Office, Washington, d. c., Sept. 8
1sso,-Col. G. A. Lounsber1y, special agent
g. L. O., Fargo, N, D.-My Dear Sir: Per-
NIT me to again thank you for ne efficient
manner in which you have sustained this
office in its efforts to straighten out land
matters in the two Dakotas. The results
will demonstrate that it was no mistake to
put that entire work in the field under
your supervision. Though at first you ex-
pressed some doubt (arising from your
modesty undoubtedly as to the advisable
ty of such a course, they would all be GER
tainly removed were you able to view the
whole field of the land matters in the sew
eral states and the work of the eighty
agents in the field as I do, and make com-
PARSONS. Integrity, capacity, with fine
discriminating judgement are essential to
the man who represents the government in
your capacity. That we had it in you I be-
lieved from the first, and it is now beyond
question.
These qualifications, together with your
industry, make you SO valuable that work
without end is given you, and while you
bear it without a murmur, l feel that it is
due to justified upon the willing principle
of depending upon the willing horse when
the load is heavy
You have made a magnificent record as
IN agent, for which you can only find your
reward within your own conscience, in the
appreciation of your superior officers
(which I hereby expressly, and the gratitu-
de of the people of the state in which your
field of operation lies.
You know as we'll as I the terrible condi-
ton in which land matters in Dakota were
when you took hold of them, and you know
as we'll as I the vastly improved condition
of things; now I have two other states in
which land matters are in about the same
condition as the two Dakotas were, and
unless I find another Lounsberry, I think
what I have said before will be sufficient
justification for utilizing your executive
ability next winter, or in the early spring,
to straighten them out for me.
Thanking you again, I remain, most
truly your friend. j. H. High.
