THERE is strong talk of establish
ing a sanitarium at some point be-
tween Brainerd and Missoula by the
N. p. M. B. A. If those having the
matter in charge decide to build they
shouldlook into the advantages offered
by Dickinson for such an institution.
The extreme healthfulness of this
location has never been questioned.
We have pure water, almost entirely
free from alkali; cool nights in sum.
mer and escape the severe storms of
winter which sweep over the country
farther east. Dickinson is about
midway between the two sanitariums
already built, is division headquarters
and has many advantages over other
towns for the location of such an in
stitution. We invite those who have
the matter in charge to look the 10.
cation over.

State Farmers alliance, to be held in St.

AT some near future time u large
amount of surveying will have to be
done in this portion of the Missouri
slope, especially to the south on the

boundary line between the Dakotas,

This will come under Surveyor +. A.

no new work can be commenced I'M

ABOUT BINDING IRVINE.
Committee Report to Governor Mcrr,a

Committee Report to Governor Merriam
Recommending the Manufacture.
ST. PAUL, June 19.-The committee to
investigate the binding Irvine question
has laid its report before the governor.
1t is different in some respects from
what was first given out. Instead of
saying that the making of flax Irvine
for binding grain is no longer an expert
mont" the report recommends that the
state purchase machinery for expert
mental purposes" The cost of machine
cry for a daily product of $500 ponnds
is placed at $4,000. In conclusion the
report says:
Your committee unite in the recon-
mendation that the state purchase. rs
o as practicable, one, two or three
sets of machinery for experimental pur-
poses, that Il thorough practical test of
the manufacture of binding Irvine be
made by the state of Minnesota. With
out this practical demonstration it is i'm
possible to arrive at any conclusion
hearing upon this important subject
that can be regarded as ut all definite.
1t is due to our agricultural producing
classes that their interests be regarded
to this extent, and in this view we re-
specially submit recommendations
as above stated.
Governor Merriam was seen and said
he should lay the matter before the at
tention of the prison board in a few
days. This board has power to act
without any further legislation. as there
is already a state fund of $50, 900 for ex-
periments in manufacturing at the state
prison. The governors letter will be
made public, and in that his views will
be expressed.

ing is said to be as follows:
Over a month prior to the beginning
of the census enumeration a citizens
committee was organized for a prepara-
tory survey Of the field, C~anvassers
We're sent out at Sc a day over the entire
city, and the location of every vacant
house, the character of tenants

Lists OF names We're prepared in the
foreign languages most likely to be met
with. the christian name being arranged
in one column and the surnalnes in an
other. tests being frequent in the
English, German and Swedish Ian
guages.. With these sheets it was a
matter of ease to shift Christian names
from II surname to another and thus
create a fictitious parsonage, supply him
with a wife and if desirable, with a
whole family. With the list Of vacant
houses and unoccupied rooms it was a
matter of tritiing moment to furnish
him with u home and in some cases he
was located among a family already of
normal size sc that one case is brought
forward where a house containing six
teen people has been raised to twenty
SlA by CnlS patflOtlc Dut lily designed

In this way the returns from some dis
trictS were a thousand names above the
proper returns, for it was easier for emu
merators to make their salary by writ
ing out lists in an Office than by drudg-
ing from house to house. They were
pitiless enough in some instances to pro-
vide the persons of their creation with
intirmities. Then there are the employ
ment agencies, from one of which 1000
names of men who had applied for
work within six to eight months We're
obtained. From atramps lodging house,
whereat "sleepers" We're required to reg

The Famous Des Moines River Cases De-
cided by Judge Sl,iras.
Fort DODGE, Iowa, June 1G.-The
Des Moines river land case has been de-
cided by Judge Shiras. The opinion
filed by him dismisses the case of the
government against the river land COM
pany and confirms the company's title to
every odd section for five miles on either
side of the Des Moines river in the state
of Iowa. Much of the land has been
sold to settlers by the company on war
ranty deeds and they will not be dis
turbed. Seven hundred settlers who,
through mistake, got their patents from
the land office, and who occupied 20O,-
900 acres must move off. Trouble is ex-

TIE farmers are jubilant over the

economy and prudence, so forcibly
taught by the smother of necessity

prosperity has proved the ultimate
financial ruin of many people in past
history, and history often repeats
itself. Go slow, and see that you are
not taking too great chances on the
years earnings by placing your eggs
all in one basket. In times of pros
