Fencing Against Cactus.


w. w. Barrett, commissioner OF irri.
CATION and forestry, in a letter to the
Alert, makes the following suggestions
on this subject:
II am confident the tree hedge system
for the exclusion of the cactus from the
grain fields is cheap, sure, practical, and
within the means of the majority Of the
farmers of North Dakota, aud that it is
certainly deserving OF the best attention.
For their own benefit and the COM
munity at large, they should not be
backward in their application Of the
common sense idea.
"Millions Of property are at stake even
in North Dakota, and the wisest and
best methods should be devised to pre-.
vent the spread of the cactus and to
bring 1t under such control that each
individual farmer may successfully sub
due or eradicate it on bis own land. and
the tree hedge system will enable him to
do so. T. would not discourage any prac-
teal system for the subjuRatlon OF the
cactus but claim the planting OF hedges
is one that should be encouraged.

Advance In Fat Cattle.

The past week brought about some
changes IN the Chicago cattle market.
The best fat cattle or cattle worth 50
per hundred or upwards have advanced
Is to 25 cents per hundred while the
common cattle, this includes butchers
stock Of all kinds. grass cattle and all
grades of Texans, except a few choice
drv fed, are 25 to IS cents lower chan
week ago, and the general tendency OF
the market running that way. The best
cattle will undoubtedly sell higher but
no prospect for any improvement in the
common and grass cattle in the near
future.
The western range cattle will begin 20
arrive early in July. They will un-
doubtedly be of good quality and bring
higher prices than last year, but shippers
should send only their fattest cattle
early in the season and let the others
remain ultil fall, when the best steers
will sell for beef and the balance will
sell for feeders.
The present prospect for good corn
crop is very hatterlng in Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas and South Dakota, and there
will undoubtedly be good demand for
feeders the coming fall.
Sheep market lower and in most cases
unsatisfactory, as we are getting too
many common sheep, which IN some
cases are almost unsalable.

Code Award Sustained.

Judge Templeton has ordered dis
solved the temporary Injunction against
the codifying commission awarding the
contract for printing the code, to the
Bismarck Tribune, the judge says:
II express no opinion upon the merits
of the principal question in controversy.
The act Of the legislature which defines
che powers and duties Of the revision
committee provides that the making of
the contract for printing and binding
the laws shall be subjected to the ap-
proval of tho governor. The power thus
reposed in the executive is greater than
the courts possess with respect to this
particular matter, for be can control
even the discretionary acts Of the COM
mission.
IF the commissioners have exceeded
their powers in inviting proposals,
awarding the contract, or have other
wise committed errors detrimental to
the public interests, the conclusive pre-
sumption Is that the governor will faith
fully discharge bis duty and refuse to
approve the proposed contract.
LET the temporary injunction be dis
solved, without prejudice, however. to
the relator's right to renew his applica-
ton, or otherwise test the legality Of the
acts complained Of"
The Argus demands that the governor
now disapprove of the contract and that
the commission re-advertise for bids and
save the state from $1,000 to $1,000
and get the codein three months, instead
Of some indefinite period.

Unite Reform Friends.

A. E. Fenton of Csss county, one Of
the best known farmers Of the state and
leader IN the independent state con-
ventlon last year, has spent the winter
IN Ohio, and made trip through Kan
sas, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. He
reports political agitation at fever heat,
with "Coin's Financial SCHOOL, the most
potent force at work.
Mr.. Fenton is a practical man, with
out consuming personal ambition to
hold Office. Interviewed by the Inde-
pendent regarding the future political
outlook, he gave his views as follows:
"As yet the future Is too uncertain to
guess at, but there is a strong movement
vmong all elements toward getting all
the reformers together, and that is
something that must come or our
enemies will certainly win by keeping US
divided. Now IN Ohio that element Of
the democratic party that Is led by
young Allen w. Thurman is all right.
The last Ohio democratic platform was
as strong populist document as pop
convention could draw up.
Il believe the gold democrats will
nominate Cleveland. If the silver demo-
Gratis are in a majority the gold fellows
won't go IN the convention, but hold a
convention of their own. In either case
the democratic convention will split.
The republicans will straddle, as
usual. Then the populists, the re-
form democrats, the silver party,
and all :he other reformers will get to-
gether; and don't care what the rest of
the popullsts do am gong to vote for
that candidate for president who is first
Of all right on the silver question, even
if that man should be democrat. If
the democrats will work with the popu-
lists and we can elect an honest silver
democrat of our views, who can show
evidence of good faith, I am for that
man heart and soul. In that way we
will force the gold men to put up Cleve-
land or go into the other camp, and then
we have done what we want to do, send
all the goldites into one camp, and
united all the friends of reform.
