THE Fargo Republican calls on the

nothing to do with the preparation of
the document. The Alert answers as
follows:
"The authors of the "Prohibition Com
mittee" letter are of the right stuff
they are willing to be stood up and shot
at, if necessary. They are bona fde

doubt be disclosed at the proper time,

ACCORDING to the statistics compiled
by the commissioner of agriculture and
labor there are 100000 acres of wheat
in North Dakota nov whiting before
the army OF self binders. This means a
yield of at least 100000 bushels of
grain. This is not an extravaganza esti-
mate. 1t is less than an average of
seventeen bushels to the acre, and who
knows of a township in all this broad ex-
tent of countrywide by 400 miles
where the wheat will not average over
seventeen bushels? From this take say
100000 bushels for home consump-
ton and seed and we have 100000
bushels for export. At 80 cents-and
wheat may sell for $1-the farmers of
North Dakota will realize $36,OOO,OOO
from this one cereal alone. It is safe to
say that at least one-quarter of this
amount will be realized from the sur
plus other crops and live stock, making
at least $45,O0O,OoO of gold or it's equiva-
lent that the farmers of North Dakota
will realize from this years products.
How's that.

WITH a population of 1876 people,
Emmons county will compare favorably
with any county in the state, and it is
doubtful if any of the new counties can
show a better financial condition. Edi-
tor Streeter of the Record has figured
out from the assessors books the &C.
reage of grain Gown this year, the
probable yield and value of the crop,
and estimates that the amount the farm
ers will receive for their steers, wool,
wheat and flax alone will exceed the en-
tire county and private indebtedness by
$150,000. Besides these sources of
revenue, the people have their rye, bar
ley, oats corn, potatoes, butter, eggs and
poultry, marketable horses, pork, etc.
AS to the healthfulness of the county,
the Record says the death rate is less
than one in a hundred, and adds that if
the present crop prospects "pan out"
there will be fifty marriages this year.

liant examples of prohibition inconsist-
ency and downright %imbecility.

The sudden death of Hon. John D,
Gamble, so recently elected representa-
tive in congress from South Dakota, re-
moves n of South Dakota's Oldest,
ablest and most prominent citizens. In
all the fights that characterized the
meeting of the forces from the North
and from the South in old territorial
days-in legislative assemblies and in
political convention-Mr. Gamble will be
remembered as a South Dakota leader
worthy OF the most sturdy Northman's
steel. But in all those fights Mr.. Gam
BILE retained the personal friendship and
admiration of the people Of North Da.
kota and outside of politics MI. Gamble
entertained no sectional feelings. The
people of North Dakota regret this death
for it takes from the halls of congress a
loyal friend of this region and an able
statesman who would have more than
filled the expectations of his most ardent
friends. His death was caused by heart
failure and occurred at 5 o'clock Friday
morning at Yankton. His death will
cause political chaos in South Dakota
and it is not at all likely in the present
unsatisfactory condition of politics in
that state that a man of his ability can
be chosen to fill the vacancy.

The press of the state appear to be
divided on the elevator question. Some
blame the commissioners, and think they
might pursue a milder course to carry
out the law. The commissioners are
simply enforcing the law in letter as we'll
as spirit-and no blame can attach
to them. Dakota grades and Dakota
inspection of grain should and eventu-
ally will prevail. The only question is
whether or not the immense crop of the
state can be handled successfully this
fall without the aid of the elevators. At
the meeting of the commissioners at
Fargo Saturday J. F. Mckee of the Ma
tional Elevator company attacked the
constitutionality of the elevator law and
wanted to make a test case to establish
its validity, and that pending the deci-
sion, the elevators do business az hereto
fore. The commissioners we're willing
to test the matter, but declared that the
letter of the law must be carried out in
the meantime. This is the way the
matter stands at present. If the eleva-
tor companies close their houses, then
the practicability of enforcing the law at
this time can only be ascertained by an
attempt to market the crop this fall.
The enforcement of the law will un-
doubtedly work some hardship to the
farmers this year, but it must come some
time and it is a question if the farmers
would be in any better condition to fight
for North Dakota's supremacy next year
than this and it is believed there is a
general feeling in favor of sustaining the
course of the railroad commissioners,

Ex-ArToRNEY-G GENERAL GOODWIN is
out in a letter expressing the hope that
prohibitionists will not be hoodwinked
atthe jamestown prohibition convention,
which seems to have been gotten up to
give Hon. Samuel Dickie-who once ran
for president on the national prohibition
ticket-a little boom. He denounces it as
a scheme of the whiskey interests to
weaken the republican party by getting
the prohibitionists to organize. MI.
Goodwin favors the organization of an
enforcement league, but doesn't want
any prohibition third party.

A Question That Troubles Literary People,

A Question That Troubles Literary People.
A crucial question is, "Typewriter, or no
typewriter" At a "symposium" on this
subject, George Spinney, of the New York
Times, said, "Typewritten copy is much
the easier to edit" Ballard Smith, the
managing editor of The World, agreed
that Typewriter copy is the only perfect
copy to have" Richard Watson Glider, of
The Century, replied: II much prefer type
written copy. It is better for the eyes and
more pacifying to the nerves." MI. Car
rington, of S%cribner's, although he admires
the fine old Italian hand in vogue among the
older authors, says that ever a thoroughly
legible hand and clear copy is not so well
come to the editor as is a typewriter MS.
The Dramatic Development society of
New York demands that all manuscripts
examined by it's readers shall be typewrit-
ten by it's own t~ypewriters. Mrs. Mary
Mapes Dodge, the editor of St. Nicholas, is
reported now to refuse all manuscripts ex-
cept such as is typewriter. Kipling, al
though a most rapid writer with the pen,
has been recently introduced to the ma
chine and has knocked off some of his most
telling verses with it's aid.
Still, one can scarcely imagine Haw-
thorne pounding out "The Scarlet Letter"
on the typewriter, or Keats pouring out
"Endymion" to the clicking accompani-
ment of the noisy machine.-Emily A.
Thackray in New York Epoch.

Major Foster in Fargo Republican:
Yes, we located the soldiers home at
Lisbon at the last meeting. The site we
selected wa the Cramer place, east of
the depot and north Of river, running
down to the bank and taking in some
fine trees. W. bought eighty acres at
$4,000. The site is a beautiful one, all
shaded by trees and we'll sheltered. The
property of Hon. r. N. Stevens would
have made a fine location, but it did not
consist of enough land, as we wanted
some that could be farmed if necessary,
and everybody in that vicinity put their
land up in price when..they thought we
would take the Stevens land, though he
Was reasonable in his price. Our pres
emit site has splendid natural drainage,
and is superb in every respect. It is
doubtful if we commence building before
spring.

The surplus cereals and live stock in
North Dakota this year will be sufficient
to pay off every obligation. OF course
all the debts will not be paid because
many improvements are necessary to in
sure the comforts of the prairie resident,
and while interest and short time high
rate of interest loans will be paid, the
farmers will take advantage of the pres
ent circumstances to repair their houses,
build additional barns, sheds and other
farm buildings. The wise farmer who
owes more than he al pay this fall will
see that a new loan is made at a reason
able rate of intererest with coupons
coming due at times when they can meet
them.

A FIRM in Kansas City are about to
try the experiment of furnishing cool air
to business and residence houses. They
argue that if hot air can be conducted
through pipes, and used to heat build
ings, cold air can be utilized in the same
manner to cool buildings. At the cen
trail station will be ammonia and air
compressors, brine and vocuum pumps,
brine and air cooling tanks and receiv-
ing and ~discharging connections. With
pneumatic tubes to carry parcels, cleo
trio wires to transmit music, hot and cold
air pipes for heating and cooling build,
ings, a portion at least of Bellamy's
imaginative theory will soon be realized.
Truly, the world do move.

NACuTe'S meCnOQS OF scattering Seeds
The methods by which seeds are distrib-
uted are most curious and interesting. The
legume of the pea splits along its two mar
gins, the two halves falling away from
each other and throwing off the seeds in
various directions. The seed cases of the
pansy and of the violet explode, scattering
the seeds forcibly.
In the gorse and the broom a sudden
burst u the pods and a springlike twist of
their two halves effectually disperse the
contents. On sunny July days the crack
ing sounds produced by the bursting peri
carps may be distinctly heard. The ma
ture fruit of Ecballium elaterium separates
from its stock and elects its seeds with
great rapidity through the orifice left by
the rupture. The sporangia of many ferns
(bracken) nave an elastic ring, which is
probably intended for the energetic dis
persal of the spores. In certain pines the
scales Of the cone, when thoroughly dried
by the hot days of the summer following
that of it's production, open with a jerk,
forcibly ejecting the winged seeds. Ere
quently a number will burst together, and
then the sound may be heard alta great dis
tance.-Knowledge.

SOMEBODY should head off Professor
Dyrenforth, who is said to be on his way
from Texas to North Dakota to try his
experiment Of producing rainfall by ex-
ploding balloon bombs in the air. He
reports that it has been a success in the
arid regions of Texas. If he has got a
sure-enough rain-producer, he should
wait till after harvest before commencing
operations in this state. Besides it is
an Infringement on Professor Barrett's
rights, and that gentleman should see
that he makes his experiments at the
proper time,

The editor of the Mandan Times has
again been reading over the prohibition
law and finds a ray Of light. He has dis
covered that the sale of liquor for Gull
nary purposes is not prohibited and
therefore brandy for mince pies can be

this discovery with a column editorial
and does not hesitate to declare the pop
ularity and healthfulness of mince pie,

yet discovered.

Capt. M. L. Mccormack in Grand
Forks Herald: Now is the time when
the farmers should stand by the people
of North Dakota and sustain the railroad
commissioners in the stand they have
taken in regard to the inspection and
grading of wheat in North Dakota. I
can remember the time, and so can you,
when the elevator companies of Milwau-
kee and Chicago made the same kind of
a howl against Minnesota that Minneso-
ia is making against North Dakota at
this time.
Senator Hansbrough in Grand Forks
P~laindealer: I noticed on the Dacotah
bill of fare to-day "Akron rolled wheat
and "Akron rolled oats" Grand Forks
ought to be substituted for Akron.
North Dakota wheat and oats are the
finest in the world. It is poor economy
to ship grain a thousand miles to have
it rolled and than ship it back for con-
sumption. Another thing, it is rank OK
travagance for wool raisers to pay freight
on one pound of wool and two pounds of
dirt. Some one ought to have enter
prise enought to put in an apparatus for
cleaning and carding the North Dakota
wool product which will this year amount
to Q than a million pounds Of pure
wool in marketing which the producer
will pay freight upon two million pounds
Of dirt.

The railroad commissioners are daily
receiving letters from farmers telling
them that they are building granaries,
and will take care of their wheat all
right, even if they have to pile it in the
field and put a straw stack on top of it
to protect it. This will encourage the
commissioners in the stand they have
taken, and if the farmers do not rush
their wheat into market too fast,
it can be inspected and no blockade

THERE are three characteristics of
Hon. @. A. Pollock of Fargo. He is
a republican, a prohibitionist and
thoroughly independent. He did more
for prohibition than any other 100 men
in the state and now the prohibitionists
are trying to sit down on him because
he don't favor the scheme proposed of
"sweeping the state with a prohibition
party, pure and simple" Pollock has
what the rank and file of prohibition
leaders have not-good sense.

In a long exhaustive report to Cover

Brewer states that Itasca lake is not the
source Of the Mississippi. He says that
that the father of waters takes it's rise

flows through Lake Itasca as it does
through Lake Pepin. Minnesota wants
to set aside a piece of land for a state
park at the source of the Mississippi

The Normanden under date of August
18th, publishes a very sensational pro-
hibition article in which it outlines the
course that Attorney General Spencer
must follow. The Normanden is I'M
doubtedly sincere in its prohibition be-
lief, yet there is a question in the minds
OF the more conservative as to the benefits
to be derived from such sudden enthu-
siasm and the insult to the attorney gen.
eral attached thereto. Every loyal citi-
% believes in the enforcement of all
laws on the statutes of the state; It is
probable the policy being pursued by
Mr.. Spencer in this matter will
eventually result in a better enforce
ment Of the prohibition laws than the
style proposed by the Normanden. The
Normanden says: "That if the said at
torney general fails to comply with our
orders inside of thirty days, we will
go to Grafton ourselves, organize
an army of lovers of the home, take
the law and our lives in our hands, turn
every blind pig upside down and drive
the rebellers out" This would be very
foolish movement. It is not necessary
to resort to any such rush means to
enforce the prohibition law. If the peo-
pie of Grafton are allowing the sale of
liquor to go on, there are no farmers
lives in danger. In the enforcement of
the prohibition law the same Judgment
must be exercised as in the enforcement
of any other law. The TRIBUNE does not

A Menu Card Made by the Camera.

An enthusiastic amateur photographer
employs a pretty process in producing a
Photographic menu card, so that when he
gives a dinner he presents to each guest q
photograph of the house in which they are
sitting, or, if a picnic, a photograph of the
scenes they are going to visit. On this
card also appears the menu and the name
of the host and hostess. All that he does
to obtain this result is to leave on the card
a sufficient space to write the menu, and
then prints the negative on a paper that
takes ordinary ink. The cards are neat
and instructive, and form valuable me
mentos for each uest.-Cincinnati En-.
