90. WADE, we'll known all over the
Dakotas as authority upon matters re-
lating to cattle, writes the following let
ter, which should be read and needed by
every farmer:
Some three months ago, I prognosticated
a rise in cattle. To-day good cattle are
selling from rs to so per cent. more than
last fall. We Of Dakota can rest assured
that there is still further advance coming
to US on cattle. Cattle are being picked up
all over the United States at fancy prices,
j. g. fancy as to ruling prices the past three
years.
Within the past sixty days, Armour &
Morris, of Chicago, have picked up all the
distillery fed cattle of Canada and over go
oO0'in the Panhandle Of Texas. Why this
extra purchase unless they are sure cattle
will still further advance? Every calf
born in Dakota ought to be kept this spring
nothing will pay better. From now on
stock can pick for themselves; in fact, my
Dakota Valley herd of pure breds have
picked the most Of their feed all winter
and they are healthy and lively.
&c. WADE.

Hon. r., H. H%ANK1NsoN introduce d
House File 29 in the first Legislative
assembly of North Dakota, to encourage
the manufacture of starch, and it be-
came chapter SO of the session laws of
1880. This gives a bounty of 81 for every
100 pounds of starch. made from potatoes
grown in the state. The first fruits of
this are now seen in the establishment at
Hankinson, Ricbland county, of a starch
factory by G. A. Frey of Sherman, Me.
Wells are being drilled and foundation
laid for the building and it is expected
a large business will be built up. Farm
ers are already arranging to put in quite
an acreage in potatoes and a good home
market will be built up for this pro-
duct.

BISMARCK will be a wool market under
the state law from and after May 18th,
the city council having completed
the arrangements. A competent
man will be placed in charge and every
facility offered to safely and expeditions
ly dispose of whatever amount of wool
may be placed in the market. It is to be
hoped the owners of sheep on the slope
will avail themselves of this, and the
larger number doing so, the better
chance of a sale, as the buyers will be
more numerous. Commissioned .Helgesen

mills in the east, and it remains for the
sheep men to do the balance.

Is THERE no way to remove the rem

Main street, but no small amount of dan.

his failure, the city council might with

county commissioners, leading lawyers

lied delegations and waited upon Mr..
Kelly, beseeching him to withdraw from
his prison abode and bask in the SUM-

taste, and has discovered that the Jail is
the most attractive place in the town.

made the first detail as follows: Pembi-

A THRIFTY farmer near Pembina has
grown two apple trees from slips to a
height of eight feet. Last year for the
first time they bore fruit, half a d.zen
fine hard specimens. The trees were
surrounded on every side by pine and
birch trees, affording winter protection.
While the growing of apples is not likely
ever to become general in this country,
there is no doubt that with proper care,
each farmer can grow enough for his
own nse and need not fear winter freez-
ing either.

THERE is some talk among the Grand
Forks papers regarding the location of
the Catholic See in that city. While
Bishop Stanley may have the matter
under consideration, the same is not yet
contaminated. The permission of the
Vatican authorities at Rome is absolute

formed that the request for the change
has not as yet been forwarded by the
bishop. It is safe to say the new depart
ure will not be made for some months
yet, if at all.

DEPUTY Supt. of Public instruction
Cathro is in receipt of a letter from the
board of education of New York City,
which is quite complimentary in terms
and shows that North Dakota is laying a
good, substantial foundation in educa-
tional matters. Speaking of some of the
recent publications by the department,
they say:
Il have examined the contents with
great interest, as they so well mark
the thorough manner in which your people
have laid tue educational foundation of q
great state. Your people will not appreci-
ate to-day the inestimable value of ali this
preparation and forethought, as will their
children III the coming years. We in the
older states, with systems ~moss.grown
spirit and letter of our institutions. can ap-
preciate them at their full value. THANK
you particularly for sending me the pro-
pramme of your teachers institutes for the
spring Of 1891. 1t is filled with vital Truths
admirably presented, and really, in its
scope and breadth, puts to shame many of
the narrow, short.sighted and thoroughly
Illogical methods followed to-day in
many OF our schools in this city. The sew
enth paragraph particularly, aimed at the
low value put upon the franchise by many
Of our fellow citizens, seems to me to be a
move in a direction too long grossly neg
lected.
1 am particularly rcjoiced that one state
has undertaken to officially call the atten-
ton of its teachers to a sense Of their great
responsibilities in the matter Of patiotic
training for citizenship, and to formulate
its views of its Importance in the curricu-
lum Of the institute. 1t greatly pleuses me
that North Dakota should be the first state
il! the union to do this, and in my statistics
OF the state l shall take pains to make this
fact prominent, that the rest of the states
may follow in the good work."

hour in militia circles. While at Grand
Forks last week, DR.. Bentley requested
the records of the Office from Mr.. Dewey,
but was met with the information that he
-DeVoy-had concluded Gov. Burke's
appointment was no good and the only
simon-pure, blown-in-the-bottle official
was the said DsVoy. His position is
that Chap. 100 of the laws of 1887, which
chapter was the military code, provides
"that the governor shall issue all com-
missions, and they shall continue during
good behavior or during the pleasure of
the governor" Sec. 10 of. the same act
provides for and creates the Office of ad-
iutant-general, which law was approved
April II, 1887. Subsequently, on Oct. l,
1889, the state constitution was adopted.
Sec. 1872 of article 8 reads, "the COM
missioned officers of the militia shall be
commissioned by the governor, and no
commissioned officer shall be removed
from office except by sentence of court
martial pursuant to law"
From this Mr.. De Voy is of the opin-
ion that this section fixes the term of
office of the commits toned officers OF the
militia; and section six of chapter 100, of
the laws of 1887, being repugnant to and
in conflict with the foregoing provisions
OF the constitution, was repealed upon
the adoption of the constitution, and the
term Of all commissioned officers be-
came fixed under the constitution. The
first executive of the state made the ap-
pointment of adjutant general and issued
a commission to that officer. At the
time the commission was issued the
term of Office was fixed by the constitu-
ton, and he does not see how any subse-
quent legislation could change it. The
recent military code, b B. $50, is simply
a revision of the military code, which
was in existence, and was the law govern
ing the militia at the time he was appoint
ed. The Office of adjutant general was
i not vacant when that act became a law,
and the governor had no right to make
an appointment to that office. This is
De Voy's view of the matter and under
that he proposes to hold the Office until
receiving light that his position is unten-
able.
just what spirit has come over the
dreams of Mr.. Dewey since he made ap-
plioation to Gov. Burke for the appoint
ment which DR.. Bentley received is not
known. Some 80 days ago, he was
of the opinion his successor would have
to be named-see application on file
in the executive Office from Mr., DeVoy.
{ He did not receive it and it is all at once
made manifest that he holds over. If he
holds over, what is the term of his
office? His commission reads: "During
the pleasure of the governor for the
time being" If this is in violation of
the constitution, Dewey is practically a
life officer of North Dakota. Will any
one soberly say that our constitution
makers intended such a thing? Mr.. De-
Voy's position is open for argument, of
course, but it hardly seems as though
his construction could be adopted by the
courts. DR.. Bentley may have to wait a
time, but he will be adjutant general of
North Dakota or we are no prophet.
