Flax a Promising Crop.

John Niemeyer, who is travelling for
Blood & Co., the we'll known northwest.
ern oil and paint firm, says Gil has ad-
vanced y cents since he left for this trip
and the price is now $l.35 bushel. The
high prices are owing to shortage in
flax seed. The market reports that the
supply Is 100000 bushels short and will
be more than that when the seed for the
new crop is deducted. Flax seed has
brought good price for over a year, and
promises to be worth so cents il not 81 90
a bushel for the next crop. Farmers
here ought to SOW a good deal more than
usual. Mr.. N. states he got more money
out OF 80 acres OF land in fax in one year

LARGE SAILING SHIPS.

The largest sailing ship afoat is the
French fve-master La France, launched

possess large fleet of sailing vessels.
In 1891 she came from 1quique to Dun
kirk in 1O3 days, with 5000 tons Of
nitrate. yet she was stopped on the
Tyne when proceeding to sea with $500
tons of coal and compelled to take out
500 tons on the ground that she was
overladen.

Hicks March Forecasts.

About the 3rd, by falling barometer
and rising temperature, the beginning of
storm period will show itself in west
erly regions. The winds will shift to
souther]y and violent storms will be de-
veloped and start eastward. The new
moon falling on the 7th, and the COM
blned disturbing powers of Mars, Earth
and Venus being SO near the crisis, a
series of hard and dangerous storms will
most likely center about the 7th, with
continued stOrmlness past the reaction
ary disturbances, central on the Sth and
9th. During these disturbances there
will be violent conflicts between the
tropical and polar storms. Blizzards and
snow blockades will probably prevail in
the north. On and touching the llth IS
the annual crisis for magnetic and cleo
trical disturbances.
From the 18th to the l4th, the indica-
tions in the western part OF the continent
Will show that energetic storms are brew
ing. During the 18th and 18th the
storms will reach their crisis and sweep
from the western to the eastern extremes
OF the continent. At the close OF storms,
each section in It's turn will be struck
with polar wave of great severity for
tue season. Centering on the Goth, 2lst
and 22nd, there will be a com bining OF
disturbing influences and much violent
phenomena may result. Expect bliz-
yards in the north, all to be followed bv
cold wave that will be felt to the coasts
OF Florida The last storm period will
run from the 25th to the 29th inclusive.
The month will close cold and generally
fair.

Wheat.

Last week showed Il small advance
from the lowest figure reached in many
years. The conditions OF the country do
not promise any where near the high
prices Of other years. but the advance
seems to be absolutely necessary on &C
count ot the reduced stocks on hand.
May wteatin Chicago last week was as
low as 571ll, and in Duluth 5S4. In
Chicago the advance was cents In
Duluth 2 cents. II the exports continue
at the present rate by August first the
amount Of wheat left in the country wills
be the smallest ever known. The de-
mand is increasing for hard milling
wheat, and the remnant that now re-
mains IN the farmers hands ought to
bring fair price il II can be held few
months longer.
The foreign crop is not increasing il
the latest statistics are indicative. Aus.
tralia has small crop this year, scarcely
to be figured on. Argentina, South
America, 10 the only country increasing
its wheat production in the past ten
years, and Illinois alone has decreased
the wheat yield more than Argentina
has increased it,
Wheat is now raised largely where
there are no granaries on farms TO store
it, and farmers market in four months
what it takes the world II months to
buy and consume. The big elevators
instead of the farm granary hold
the wheat all in sight. This
bears the market OF itself. The
crop is not sold at intervals through
out the year as formerly. 1t is plain
enough that had farmers kept $4,000, 600
bushels back out of the visible supply
they would have got s5c for the balance
and could have afforded to burn up the
100000 bushels. Not over. production,
but uneven distribution, ails the wheat
prices.
The North Dakota farmer need not be
discouraged over his wheat prospect. 1t
is as bright as that Of any other farm
product aud is still the chief hope OF his
getting share OF the ready cash OF the
country for his labor and capital. Diver
sitied farming is all riRht--and ought to
be more generally followed for safety
and good living on the farm il for moth.

Rounding School Bonds.

The statement has gained ground in
some places that the board of education
of this city we're to issue bonds in the
amount OF S25,O0O to refund debt of
but 100000. Such is not the case and
could not be, for section one of chapter
SO, of the laws of 1891 states explicitly,
provided, that such issue of bonds
shall not exceed in amount the face value
of the bonds they are issued to replace"
The board is about to issue $4,000
worth of bonds to refund the same
amount.
By the manner in which the board is
handling this Indebtedness Of S25,O 600,
incurred by their predecessors for needed
improvements, ETC.. they are deserving
OF much commentator. The board IS
saving $3.50 annually in interest alone,
the new bonds bearing one per cent less
than the old, while comparatively no ex-
pense is incurred in the disposal of them.
The task of floating the bonds ten years
ago, bearing z per cent interest, was ore
which occupied much time and cost the
board q considerable sum OF money. BY
making the bonds payable ION or before
twenty years the board will be enabled,
by establishing sinking fund, to retire
a portion OF the indebtedness from time
to time as opportunity permits. The e1-
tinguishment Of the debt will therefore
be accomplished by degrees and with the
greatest economy of the funds lntrusted
TO their care. The members of the board
have rather a thankless position to fill
receiving no compensation for their SER
vices and when, through mismanagement
or error Of judgement the affairs en-.
trusted to them are not conducted in
the best manner, are quickly condemned
by the public.

attention Of the public and Justice court
for several days past came to an end,
temporarily. Three OF the prisoners
were discharged and Frank Wisniswski

moved for tho discharge of the prisoner
on the grounds that tho warrant does
not sho~ that the ofKense We committed

or IN the county OF Stutsmsn and state
Of North Dakota; that there was nothing

The same motion was introduced in
the cases OF the other prisoners, Clifford
Brown, Chas. Hanks and Albert WIS
niewski, with the additions that the dis
charge of the prisoners was asked for on
the grounds that they were illegally ex-
amined by Marion Conklin, a paid attor-
ney of the Northern Pacific, and John
knauf, an attorney that is neither states
attorney nor was appointed by the dis
trict judge or the county commissioners,
to prosecute the action, and that he was
objected to by the defense before
the examination was commenced; !;
also that there is no evidence to show
that the Northern Pacific is corpora
ton, or that they owned the car broken

except by oral testimony, objected to by

not show that the defendants broke into

any OF them. or that they bad any

why. Farmers have not been in the
business all their lives, without finding

hogs, will come out as those who went
