CROP TALK.

A heavy wind storm on SUNDAY
raised clouds of dust and made farm
cr's hearts quail for fear OF uncover
Ing the new-sown wheat. There wa.
ON Saturday night probably three
fourths Of the wheat sown. But the
season being early, the drills have
placed the wheat deep, close to the
frost, in damp earth, hence except In
spots, no material damage was done
On Mondaya fine, warm, refreshing
rain followed and did much to repair
any damage from uncovering by the
wind and Of course was just the thing
for the newly sown grain.
This carly seeding OF wheat, alse
presages u large acreage Of othel
grains, flax, potatoes, etc., it gives s,
much more time for spring blowing
There are already some fields Of earl,
sown wheat showing green, though
the bulk Of the wheat was sOwn las
week.
The Present spring prospects ar
bright and the farmers will have thei
seeding done aud out OF the wa
earlier than any year since the coun
try was generally settled.

AXE MEN DETERIoRAr,Nc,

Mr.. Taylor in his lecture made the
statement that the college reports
show, that In the highest educat ion
] men are dcteriorating while the
women are advancing.
We believe the latter statement is
true. but with the qualification that
as vet, 1t is mostly the strongest. brain.
ed women who seek the higher educa.
tton; that comparison OF these few
select females with the many males is
not fair.
Again, VIC do not believe it fair to
compare the education of III, present
day with that of old times. Iii on
entirely different llues. We believe
that the college graduate of the pres.
ent day Us better fitted to fight the
battle OF life than the graduate Of
fifty or ii hundred years ago Perhaps
no knows less Greek anu Latin, and
knows less Of the dead aud gone, but
Of the living present. it's progress and
possibilities he is us FAR ahead, as the
soldier In his blue blouse ana repeat
Ing rifle IL ahead of the oldcn knight

weapons. Like little David, the
sword aud armor of the old warrior
Is discarded as too heavy and cumDer.
some: lattcr.day science teaches him
how to select the smooth pebbles of
nature To fit MS sling.
The proof OF this is in results in all
departments OF science and art; man.

and especially during the last half,
than in q dozen centuries together

THE APPOINTMENT,

Governor Allin on Saturday appoint
ed Mr.. Sautcr Of Grafton as judge fol
this new, seventh judicial district.
or Mr.. Sauter personally we have nc
adverse criticism. lie will have dur.
ing the next year and a half ample
Opportunity to prove or disprove the
governor's judgment Of his ability
and qualifications for the high Office
to which ne Is appointed.
We do believe however that ia this
case, Governor All.n has considered
his own judgment of .:.ore value, and
allowed his personal friendship to have
more weight In the choice, than the
Judgment and preference NJ the peo-
pie aud Of the republican party In the
new judicial district. In Pembina
and Cavalier counties the choice was
either Kneeshaw or Young with eth.
or Of them as sec"nl choice. In
Walsh county very large part ri the
republicans preferred son,e other than
Mr.. Sautcr and many we're favorable
to Mcssrs Kneeshaw or Young.
These to us seem pain facts. We
do not contend that this argues any
thing against Mr.. Samtcr's character
or ability. "Some there are that can.
not abide the harmless necessary cat''
said Shylock. We only state it as u
fact, that Gov. Allin has seen fit to
make this appointment upon his own
personal preference, and against the
well kn ,wn and expressed preferences
of the other friends to whom he is US
much indebted for loyal, hearty and
effective support as from any one, or
any number of persons in his homo 10.
cality.
We have In our possession, q letter
from the secretary Ut the state, re.
publican central committee, written
some time before election, saying that
the committee felt secure OF success
all complications, of which there were
many. that We thought Pembina
would increase her republican vote;
and she did increase her republican
vote, and did not have the benefit OF
the recoil OF a tidal wave in the other
direction Of two years previously, to
help the increase. as many OF out
neighbours did.
On the roll OF appointments in the
gift Of Governor Allin, who is our i'm.
mediate neighbor, the name of only
one Pembina county man appears,
that Of DIR. Stinson of Crystal, us dis.
trict veterinarian.
We should mt deem it remarkable
Ii the state Committee ut the next
general election might again be able
to think OF reasons to fear the result
in Pembina county.
Inherent political principles are
good bulbs. Without them there can
be no plant. Luxurious vegetation
however needs sunshine, moisture and
cultivation. Aud Governor Allin has
at least always been credited with the
reputation Of good farmer, and
doubtless knows more about political
crops than we do, SO we wait to see
what the harvest will be before we
make more observations.

TO TEACHERS AND SCHOOL BOARDS.
The second meeting Of the tri.county
Educational Association will be held
at the city of Grand Forks, ON Friday
and Saturday, April Goth and 9th.
The first meeting held ut G fton last
fall was decided success and as much
good resulted from it as often results
from an Institute. Every teacher in
the three counties should lie present
at the coming meeting. and it is urg-
ed upon school boards and teachers to
work to this end. School boards, you
will not be losing anything by grant.
log the day to your teacher to at tend.
The teacher will come back with new
vigor and new ideas, ready to do bet
ter work that She has done in the past.
Teachers, you will be we'll repaid for
the small outlay that will be neccs-
sary for the meeting. Teachers are
now becoming so plentiful In these
counties that only the most progress.
sivc can hope to hold positions. School
boards and county superintendents
are looking after the wide-awakc ones
who grasp every opportunity to quail.
fy themselves for their work.

BOATING THROUGH SOLID ICE
The Ice.CrushinE Steamboats, That
Gross the Straits Of Nackinac.


The Ice-CrusbinE Steamboats, That
Cross the Straits Of Mackinae.
The most wonderful icc-crhhing
steamboat in the world Is built to carry
trains Of cars across the Straits Of
Mackinac, from AIackinnw City % st.
Ignace, Mich, in connection with the
Duluth, South Shore AMI Atlantic rail-
road, along the southern shores of Lake
Superior. In those straits the ice In
winter Is protliglously thick, and when
there ls not q sglid bridge Of gassru blAs
that carry the heavy trains across this
piece Of water ARE obliged to be power.
ful Ice fighters, and they are built In
q peculiar way to do their fighting.
Their bows. which are us solid and
strong us a naval ram, are built to slope
inward and downward. SO that the
bouts climb up on the ice and beat. or
crush 1t down. The enormous weight
of the newest boat, the Ste. Marie.
which Is 100000 pounds, will crush
any ice that 1t rests upon. Under the
bow is propeller screw, which not
only pulls the boat ahead, but sucks
the broken ice away and casts It be-
hind rs the boat pushes its way along.
This new boat cost more than a third
of a million dollars. She can carry
eighteen loaded cars on her three
tracks, and can make fifteen miles IN
hour. Her side planks are six inches
thick, and the sides Of the vessel are
nearly three feet thick toward the bot
tom Of the hull. She is all coated with
quarter-inch. steel. except at the bow
and stern, where the steel plates are
two inches thick. The two ends of the
boat are almost solid timber to make
n battering ram Of her. Her bow screw
is smaller than that in the stern, but
with both Mt work she can make eight
miles IN hour through solid blue ice
two feet thick, and when she encoun.
tiers soft or drift ice ten feet thick her
forward screw will bore through It and
