WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, SEPT. 2 1879:
BUILDINGS TO BE ERECTED.

BUILDINGS TO BE ERECTED.
Buildings for the occupancy of the
superintendent and rangers are to be
erected, if necessary, by the secretary of
agriculture upon the reservations. And
laborers are to be employed to construct
roads and for other labor necessary to
be performed in the proper administra-
ton Of the reservations.
These reservations are not for
aesthetic beauty, but strictly for prac-
teal economic purposes.
LARGE BODIES OF WATER.
There are many bodies of water in the
Turtle mountains, and by the construc-.
ton of a few dams near the foothills
very large reservoirs of water can be
maintained which can be- made to
irrigate many thousands of acres of land
on the adjoining plains. The signs Of
the time indicate that congress will
finally make large appropriations for
irrigation purposes in way of land or
money when the mountain waters will
doubtless be utilized. =
H BENEFITS TO ACCRUE FRoM THE NEW
This bill is carefully drawn, compre-
hensive and fair and markes provisions
for all domestic wants, and the great

matter of wood supply. It furnishes
wood for the settler, pasturage for the
stockman, makes provisions for the
hunter and the fisherman, and provides
material for the lumberman and
manufacturer. It allows the SETTLE
ment of agricultural lands, protects the
forests where needed and conserves the
waters for the support of grain, fruit,
and other forms of vegetation. Hence,
it seems, the new bill must receive the
unqualified support of the farmers, the
press, the legislators, and the members
of congress, which give assurance of it's
enactment into a law, for the great and
lasting benefit of the nation and the
people. W. w. BARRETT,
State SuptIrrigation and Forestry.
Mr.. Ruoker Talks.
H. P. Rucker discusses matters with
a st. Paul Pioneer Press reporter thus:
'The new appointed board of Worlds
Fair managers has entered upon it's
work in earnest, and our sister states
will not be ashamed of the exhibit from
North Dakota at the Worlds Fair. The
members of the board are all practical
business men and full of energy and
patriotism. MIR. Dickey has sent men
over the state specially adapted to the
work to gather grains and grasses. Wool
growers have been requested to reserve
specimens Of wool, owners of coal mines
to furnish coal, educators to organize
for IN educational exhibit, and the
women are organizing into Columbian
associations for the purpose of securing
an exhibit of the handiwork of women.
The millers representing the real manu-
featuring interests of the state are en-
thusiastic over the opportunity afforded
them to exhibit the products of their
mills, made from pure No. 1 hard wheat,
and will spend large sums of money to
make a creditable exhibit.
"The state university at Grand Forks
and the agricultural college at Fargo
are assisting the state board by sending
out some Of their professors who are
specialists on certain matters. Every
practical method is being adopted to
make up for the delay, and North d.
kota will yet make a creditable show

/. "a committee has been appointed to
20 to Chicago and let a contract for the
erection of q state building in Jackson

sheaves of wheat in raised designs, the

partment. The interior of the building,
instead of being kalsomined, will be dec
Grated with Flora, grains, grasses and
woods, and the topography of the state,
will be shown. Not only will this be
artistic and novel, but it will exhibit the
products Of the state ir an attractive
manner. E~'< S>~
