Rob't Robertson, one of the officials of
Hope township and we'll known to all
old timers in letter of recent date says:
81 would convey my appreciation of your
editorial on noxious weeds in last weeks
paper This is matter that should be
rigidIy attended to by the county officials.
If it is not, large portions of the county
will be ruined. consider a man that
will not make any effort to keep down
foul weeds worse than the keeper of Il
blind pig, as in the case of the pig you
don't need to let it harm you, but you
can't prevent foul seeds from being
blown and carried onto your land. Con-
tinual agitation must be kept up against
the danger threatened cur farming COM
munity by noxious weeds.

The Notorious Hannah Wheat Buyer Now in the
Tolls at Last.
j. J. Dawes, formerly Great Northern
travelling freight agent, and later transact
ing in illegally purchasing of Canadian
wheat mention has frt quently been made
of late was arrested on Wednesday night
OF last week at Hannah by Deputy Uni
ted States Marshal Ryan of Grand
Forks. Since his warehouse was closed
last November Dawes has found the
climate of Manitoba more congenial to
him than that OF North Dakota, and he
has scrupulously refrained from crossing
the line. He has been engaged in some
sort OF real estate work during the winter
and it appears that in some way he got
into hot water in Manitoba. He Emade a
sudden trip across the lines back to
Hannah and ran tight into the arms of
Deputy Ryan. This case has been work
ed up by R. s. Forseman of Washington
special agent of the treasury department,
who has kept an ever vigilant watch for
his man, feeling confident that he would,
within short time, return to Hannah.
The offense with which Dawes is charged
is purchasing Canadian wheat, knowing
it to have been smuggled. The offense
is punishable by fine of $4,000 or two
years imprisonment or both. He was
taken through to Grand Forks on Friday
where he will be held pending trial at
the next term of U. S. circuit court.

'In reply 10 your question, Should
difficulties between the United States
and Spain be settled peacefully by
craftsmanship and diplomacy, in a way
honorable and satisfactory 10 both ma

way Of settling difficulties between in
dividuals and nations than that OF their
wholesome tribunals, equitable Law, and
sound, well kept treaties.

The reason that so many Cubans have
remained here during the war, u was
explained at the junia, is because It Is
absolutely necessary 10 have funds TO
carry ON the war for Independence, aud
these Cubans have by their work here
furnished large sums Of money 20 the
insurgents and thus enabled them TO
carry on the rebellion The further ne
cessity for their work here would be
done away with in the event Of war
between Spain and this country. and
they could then go TO the island and add
