POT4TO SHORTAGE.

If North Dakota's surplus potato
crop could be gathered and sold it
would make this year a big il
crease in the farm income. North
Dakota has an abundant crop of
the finest kind of potatoes-rich,
mealy, large.size food chunks,
wanted by the millions of consum-
ers of the east, where the crop has
been nearer a failure than in any
year since 1892.
Compared with last years good
crop there has been falling off of
80 per cent. In the potato grow
ing states the yield for 1895 is
given at 2S6,0O0,000 bushels; for
1896, 245, 100000 bushels and 1897
estimated at l74,000.00O. The
light yield of 1892 was Isl, 100000
bushels.
The two chief causes for the light
yield in 1897 are given as Blight
and rot due to the weather ex-
tremes. The quality is also defci-
ent. Canada also shows large
shortage.
There is something radically
wrong with the transportation
system, as it applies to the public
and with the business of railways,
that in years of shortage of a
has special crop where one locality
good yield the deficient points
can not get the benefit by decreas-
ed rates. In North Dakota there
will be thousands of bushels Of
potatoes not dug, or if saved from
frost, allowed to waste because the
rates prevent shipments at a time
Of the year when such shipments
can be safely made.

COWAN'S DECISION.
Ruling That A Tax Sale Should
be Held Throughout The
State For 1897.
NO PENALTY FOR 90.
The Law Given on Six Disputed
Points by the States At
torney General.

On the Sth of last March the
legislature repealed the revenue
law of 1895 and enacted q new law.
making important changes in the
collection of taxes. Under the
old law taxes became deliquent on
the first day of March and 5 per
cent penalty was added on the LIST
of June. As the law was passed
between these times, it has been a
question whether penalty and in
terest should be added to the
delinquent taxes of 1896.
Attorney General Cowan, in
response to requests from num-
Der of county auditors, has just
rendered All opinion on the ques-
ton, as follows:
First, that tax sale should be
held for the year 1897.
Second, at said sale lands should
be sold for the real estate tax of
1896 and all prior unpaid real
estate taxes, not including taxes on
which lands have been sold to the
state or actual purchasers at tax
sale.
Third, no penalty or interest
can be charged on the taxes of
1896. Penalty and interest on
taxes Of prior years ceased to &C.
cumulate from March s, 1897;
after the tax sale of 1897 should
be added to the tax roll of 1897
the penalty is 5 per cent and the
interest 2 per cent month.
Fourth, the cost of sale are to be
added to the amount necessary to
pay taxes after advertisement.
Fifth, no personal taxes can be
Included in the tax sales for 1897.
Sixth, unpaid personal taxes
prior to the tax of 1897 pursuant
to section 100 of chapter l26.

HE elevator companies in Mani
toba have everything their own
way. According cto reports they
recently put into effect regulations
so restrictive that farmers have
no option but to sell their grain
on the street, as the elevators re-
fuse to store it for them; and any
wheat which they may have in
store in elevators cannot be ship
ped until the elevators are depleted
of grain. The Winnipeg Grain
Exchange will take up the matter
in the interests of the general
good. At the last weekly meeting
of the exchange the motion that
the Canadian Pacific railway
should be asked by the exchange
to abrogate it's present regulations
which prohibit farmers and others
from loading grain direct OH cars
at elevator points was lost by a
vote of % to 9. The resolution
was brought up because it was
considered that the elevators
monopoly, existing in the Canadian
northwest, was prejudicial to the
best interests of the farmers, but
the Winnipeg board of trade
seemed unable to even pass re-
solution on the subject.

The breaking up of the great
Dwight farm, one OF The old bon
anzas of the Red river valley, is a
sign of the times that cannot be
ignored. It will be a happy day for
North Dakota when all her bon
ANA wheat fields are owned in
small tracts by individual farmers,
who will live where they farm
and raise something besides wheat.
The lands comprising the Dwight
demesne were bought, as were
those of most of the other big
farms, by the par exchange of
Northern Pacific bonds, purchased
far below par, for tracts that would
have been cheap if the bonds had
cost 100 cents on the dollar. The
land company is probably making
great fortune by selling out at
$25 an acre on the crop payment
plan. It is worthy Of remark
that, so far as we are cognizant Of
farm values, that price is the
highest yet paid for any very con-
siderable area of North Dakota
lands, though $40 and $50 per acre
have been offer for smaller tracts
in some of the more favored
counties farther down the river.
The Dwight farm comprises about
$500 acres, a magnificent domain,
and there could be no more strik-
ing proof Of the change in condi-
tons among the farmers of the
northwest than the sale Of this
area of ten square miles Of level
wheat land in plots Of l60 acres or
Whereabouts to practical farmers,
most of them already landholders
in the vicinity. These lands have
been in the possession of the
Dwights for some sixteen years
and the present selling prices are
not so far from twenty
times their actual cash first cost.

THE ELECTION.

Election excitement in Cavalier
county this fall was confined to
those precincts composing the
Third, Fourth and Fifth commits
sioner districts. The vote was not
large, being probably due to the
pleasantness Of the day.
Third district reelected Com'r
Weir giving him majority of
40, showing that Jno. R. Mears
had his hustling clothes on all the
time although his chances were
been placed in the doubtful column
from the start. The vote was:
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1897-11-04
necessary.

IT may look absurd to say should
we continue to export wheat from
this country at the rate existing
at present we will be competitors
with Europe in importing from
Argentine for part Of our supplies
during the months Of May and
June Of next year. An exporting
country is more apt to exhaust it's
supply Of a staple commodity than
an importing country and this is
fully verified in Argentine, India
and Australia.

sunny side of easy street, although
he failed to pick up a single vote

as many votes as Fremont polled
in all. Golf takes the cake this
year in the line of majorities or
