Argus: The Fargo Roller mills ship
ped out train load of -four yesterday,
consisting of twenty-three cars, billed for
New York, Washington and Baltimore,
over the Northern Pacific to Duluth and
thence by water to Buffalo and Erie.
The shipment comprised $3.50 barrels
and is probably the largest ever made
from North Dakota. The product of the
Fargo Roller mills is in demand wher-
ever it has been introduced. Manager
Shotwell has reason to be proud of the
record of the mill, and certainly the citi-
zens of Fargo are pleased with the name
the Fargo mill has secured in the bust
ness world.
There was another turn yesterday in
the intermlnable Argus case. The stock
holders met to elect officers, but we're
served with an order from Judge Rose
enjoining Faulkner either in person, by
agent or by proxy from voting the stock
held in his name claimed by Edwards.
and also enjoining Griggs. Edwards and
the others from receiving or accepting
any votes on such stock. On the advice
OF an attorney this order was disregard
ed, the stock voted and Hill board Of
directors and officers were elected. The
Argus says: "The next move will prob
ably be to have those who disobeyed
Judge Roses order, to appear and show
cause why they are not in contempt.
Stephens and Faulkner being non-resi-
dents, may escape jurisdiction of the
court, but Captain Griggs and his legal
adviser cannot"

That is What North Dakota
Presents to Beet Sugar
Manufacturers.
State and National BOunties
Almost Equal to Cost Of
Manufacturing.
Manager OXnard of Nebraska
Coming Here to Investigate
the Matter.
Oxnard Coming Next Month.

Senator Casey is IN receipt OF letter
from H. T. Oxnard, manager of the
Grand Island. Nebraska, beet sugar fac
tory. IN which that gentleman states that
he expects to visit jamestown next
month. Mr.. Oxnard told Senator Casey
in Washington last winter that he believ-
ed North Dakota was especially adapted
to sugar beet culture and it is we'll
known that for some months he has con-
templated visiting the state for the pur-
pose of Investigating thoroughly the
adaptabillty of our soil for that purpose,
with the ultimate object of establishing
factory. In case such factory should
be established jamestown is the natural
place for it. That beets can be success
fully grown in the James river valley Is
an assured fact. The quality of the
product has been determined by analysis
and the percentage of saccharine or sugar
producing matter has been found to be
unusually high. The quality of the
beets grown here is one consideration
that would weigh heavily in deciding the
location Of such a factory. Another
would be the willingness of our farmers
to engage in their culture. Beets in this
latitude and soil are a more certain and
profitable crop than wheat. They are
profitably raised in localities where they
yield less heavily. There is no doubt
about the willingness of farmers to raise
them. a number of farmers this spring
made inquiry Of The Alert as to the
prospect Of the establishment Of such a
factory and expressed desire to devote
a part of their land to beets if they were
assured of market for the crop.
Sugar now sells at wholesale at cents
per pound and the bounty on it in this
state is almost if not quite equal to the
cost of manufacturing. Senator Casey
Gays sugar IS now made from beets in
California for cents per pound. The
bounties are cents from the state and a
like amount from the national treasury.
There should be money in a beet sugar
factory when the bounties pay the cost
OF manufacture. 1t ls an opening for
capital that will soon be taken advantage

BETTER STAY RIGHT HERE.
That is Col. f.. s. NIiller's Advice
tn Those Contemplating
Going West.
After an Absence Of 15 Months
he Returns Satisfied With
North Dakota.
Wages just as High and Living
Cheaper Here Than in
Washington.
Col. Miller Returns to jamestown.

Col. Miller Returns to Jamestown.
Col. E. S. Miller and family returned
Saturday from Tacoma, Washington,
and will again make their home in James
town. A residence of Is months on the
coast was enough to convince the colonel
that North Dakota is the better country.
He says Washington is now feeling the
bad effects of OVERLOOKING and that the
inevitable crash is near at hand. There
is considerable building going on there,
but the country is over-crowded. In
Tacoma, he says, there are thousands of
men who don't know where their next
meal is coming from. People are leaving
the country now as fast as they are com.
ing. Col. Miller thinks North Dakota is
better country than Washington for a
poor man. Wages, he says, are about the
same here as there and the cost of living
here is much less. Even Washington
fruits can be bought cheaper here than
there where they are grown, and salmon
is the same price. Everything IN WASH
lngton is sold by the pound. Cabbage Is
5 cents per pound, apples from to 10
cents, and potatoes $1.75 hundred. He
says the cheapest apples sold last year
was 5 cents pound, or $500 bushel.
If the working man had plenty of work
which he can't get nowhere is a plain
advantage for him IN North Dakota in
equal wages and cheaper living.
The colonel does not seem to be much
infatuated with the much. .boasted eli
mate of Washington. The rainy season
there lasts about half the year and is a
terror. 1t generally ends in May, out
Mr.. Miller says 1t rained "a days in June
last year. He says it makes one feel like
a new man to get back to this pure. dry,
bracing North Dakota ozone.
There are quite number of former
JamestOWnites in Tacoma. 1t. Governor
Diokey is located there, engaged in the
life insurance business and doing we'll.
DR.. Cloes has opened dental Office and
is working up good practice. Charley
Manley ls still making money IN the
cigar business and with him is his
brother-in.law, Henry Dennieon. John
Mahoney, who recently left here, has q
position with the Tacoma Light & Water
company at $40 a month. Phillip Plet-
tenberg is contracting. Major Lyon has
established himself at Centralia in the
insurance business and carries large
line of good companies. Islah Windover
is also at Centralia. He is in the confec.
tionery business.
Col. Miller expresses surprise at the
encouraging outlook here and is begin
ming to fear that there is not an empty
house in the city. When he went west
he rented his residence and it is still oc-
cupied. This morning he started ouc to
find house. but when The Alert man
saw him had not yet heard Of a vacant
one.

ArbOr Day,

Editor Alert: By the law relating to
irrigation and forestry, it becomes the
duty of the writer to foster and encour-
age all desirable and practical matters
or movements calculated to promote
forestry in our common wealth, and there
fore respectfully urge all citizens to
heed the earnest suggestions and in
structions as given by Andrew H. Burke.
our worthy executive,in his proclamation
fixing May 6 as Arbor day.
And it also becomes matter of pleas
ure to commend the call made by Prof.
John Ogden,superintendent of public in
struction, whereby he urges the teachers
and pupils Of our public schools to CO.
operate in the glad and fitting observ-
ances of the day.
Arbor day has become the first school
day for the. study and cultivation Of
flora. This is made PLAN by the words
Of our wise and good governor, who in
said proclamation says: "Ehe present
gives evidence of q more prosperous
development of the resources Of this
state; and I would therefore urge all
citizens to make this day the commence
ment of thorough and continuous
study of arbor culture and forestry"
1t ia clearly evident to the most OBJ
servant and thoughtful that the soil and
climate Of our state are favorable for
the raising of trees. The chief hln.
drance to this is the absence of needed
moisture, but it becomes a conceded
fact that arteslan waters, intelligently
or scientifically applied in connection
with wise cultivation, give unmistakable
assurance that trees and forests can be
successfully developed in all parts of the
state and throughout the extended wilds
of the western country.
respectfully urge, in the observance
of Arbor day, that "trees and their seeds
together with shrubs, vines and beautiful
flowers" may be planted by the old and
young IN public and private places. And
it seems fitting that the occasion be
made one of instruction and pleasure;
hence I would urge that time be given to
social and literary exercises to enlighten
and cheer; to the formation Of arboral
improvement associations; to instruction
of such culture; and to the planting and
QoQlcatlOn OF Trees, planCs ana mowers IN
commemoration of the benefactors of the
race. These, with other agreeable exer.
cisee, cannot but exert favorable and
pleasant influences for the best welfare
and happiness of all.
As it is done in other states for future
statistical Information, I respectfully
ask that the number of trees which may
be planted in each county on Arbor day
may be faithfully reported at this Office,
in the interest of forestry, will the
papers of the state please publish bis
letter w. w. BARRETT,
State Superintendent Of Irrigation and
Forestry.

A Breeze at Bismarck.

Editor Alert:-A lively breeze was
stirred up III our town by the publication
in this mornings Tribune of the resolu-
tions adopted by the executive commit
tee Of the North Dakota W. G. T. u, de.
claring vacant the offices of superintend.
ent of the departments of Charitable
work. and of "the relation of temperance
to labor" because, as they alledge, it
had appeared since the state convention
at Jamestown that Mrs. L. w. Slaughter
of this city, was not member of the w.
G. T. U. at the time Of her appointment
to those offices.
Mrs. Slaughter was for years the su-
perlntendent ofpress work of the territor-
ial union and has long been known as a
hard working member of the temperance
fraternity. Being also vice president for
North Dakota Of the Woman Press assc-
ciatlon; her pen has long been a power in
the state for the W. G. T. U. and other
reform movements.
This action of the state union IS inter-
preted here as meaning that the state w.
G. 7. 0. have taken up the personal fight
against Mrs. Slaughter of one of the
local w. g. 7. US of this city, that has
kept the town IN turmoil all winter
and in view Of the intended visit OF two
Of the officers of the national w. CT. U.
to Bismarck next week, creates much
interest, it being the common opinion
that should the national officers also de-
eide to take hand IN the local quarrel
the outcome will be the organization in

had lett Mare island for gun practice, and
had been placed by orders of the navy de-
partment at the disposal of the committee
having in charge the obsequies of Minister
Swift. In event of orders being issued
from Washington City to pursue the Itata,
they would be received in cipher, and
nothing would be known as to the vessels
destination until she was well under way.
