Hon. A. M. THOMPSON of Eddy
county has written an article for the
agricultural department at Washington
on "Tree Culture on the Western
Palms," which secretary Rusk will soon
issue in the form of a bulletin for gen.
eral circulation. It is said to embrace
not only the results of the writer's OBJ
servations and experience in tree growing
in North Dakota during seven years
residence, but to relate some of the mis-
takes made in tree planting also.

To Duplicate Columbus Voyage.

One Of the most recent of the novel sug-
gestions for Worlds fair features comes
from that distinguished Boston author and
minister Edward Everett Hale. The rev.
erend gentleman has addressed a letter to
Secretary Tracy, of the navy, in which he
says, speaking of the landing of Columbus:
Would it not be possible to detail a vessel
with steam power which might touch at the
point Of the first discovery-which Captain.
Fox has fixed at Attwoods Key-on the morn
ing of the 18th Of October, 1922 Then let tho
officer remain as long as Columbus remained,
and let him, fromday to day, follow his course,
which is given in great detail in the logbook of
Columbus, SO as to really repeat the voyage
from day to day, as Columbus made it. Where
Columbus caught q lizard, our expedition
could catch a lizard; where they caught q
turtle, they should try for a turtle; on the
day when he met the Cubans smoking they
might open q box of Havanas, and in impor-
tantt hingsor unimportant things they should
follow the detail which he gives of his great
adventure.

The commissioner of the Northern Pa
cifc road has completed his payments of
land taxes due from the company save in
the counties of Barnes, Mercer, Foster
and Mclean. OF these, all but Barnes
are having with the company and the
matter is now in the hands of the su-
'preme court of the state for adjudica-
ton. The company says it will not pay
in these until the difficulty is legally set
tied. In Barnes they claim an excessive
valuation by the county board and say
they will let the courts determine the
same. In the other counties they have
done just al they agreed-paid on what
was considered by both sides an equita.

The jury of the United States court
that was taken out from Fargo to Wells
county to make a personal Inspection of
the value of the property in dispute be-
tween Glaspell and the Northern Pacific
Railroad company, returned a verdict for
$1,120 in favor of the plaintiff. When
the case was tried before in the state
court the corporation was mulcted in the
sum of $4,000, which goes to show that
different jurors think differently.

The merits of the various sheep dips
are undergoing practical tests and vigor-
GUS discussions just now. The order
that all sheep infected or exposed to in.
lection must be dipped, has created a
big demand for that commodity, and
people naturally want the best. It is
said, on authority of those who have in
vestigated, that Cooper's sheep dip
which has been quite extensively adver.
tised and seemed to be a favorite, is in.
furious and it's use attended with dan.
gerous results. The best dip is said tc
be that recommended by Uncle Jerry
Rusk, in one of the publications of the
national agricultural department. This
is an easily prepared solution of lime
and sulphur.

for appointments by the civil service
commission and not a single eligible is
on the register. Salaries range from
5000 up. With the Minot land Office
going begging and no candidates for
clerkships, it would indicate that the
average North Dakotan was satisfied
with his lot in life.
