There Is no doubt that, to puote the
very words Of the report:
1.-The hard wheat Of the Northwest
has furnished the country with q finer
flour than it ever before possessed"
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH NORTH
DAKOTAf

The state commissioner Of agriculture
and labor has issued an official bulletin
compiled from reports made by him,
and from estimates conservatively
made, showing that the value Of farm
products in North Dakota for 1897 is
$GC, 04O,O00, or $3.50 per capita, or $500
for the head of each family in the state.
These are the figures: 4O,OOO.OOO BUSH
els of wheat, $$335.O0O,0OO; 4,5OO,OOO
bushels flax, S ,5OO,OOO; 100000 BUSH
els barley, $3,OOO,OO0; 100000 oats,
$500, 600; 100000 bushels potatoes,
81, 900; 100000 pounds wool, $780,
600; poultry and eggs, $1,S00,OOO; milk
and milk products, $2,5OO,OOO; live
stock, $1O,O0O,O0O. Ninety per cent Of
the population Of the state belong
strictly to the agricultural class, and it
will be seen among whom this vast
amount Of wealth is distributed. The
above figures do not include the fin
ished products Of manufactures or the
revenues from the coal mining in the
western part Of the state.
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1899-05-12
A GRADE UNTO ITSELF.

At the New Orleans exposition the
wheat Of North Dakota came in com.
petition with wheat from all over the
word and experts decided in it's favor.
1t was wheat grown in the Turtle
Mountain country that took the first
prize. This wheat is known as "No.
1 hard" a grade unto itself, as it is
not grown in the country at large.
Wherein is it's superiority may be
asked? The second report of the bu-
reau of chemistry of the United States
department Of agriculture contains the
result of an analysis of 2.7GO specimens
of wheat, among which were included
samples from all parts of the United
States and many foreign countries.
The result of that analysis is to es.
tablish, beyond all question, the fact
that in the two most important desid-
crata, dryncss and richness in albumi-
noids, Red River valley wheat is the
best wheat grown on American soil,
and among the best in the world. The
hard wheat belt extends west and
north Of the Red River valley.
1t was shown, too, that a given
quantity of flour, made from Red River
valley wheat, will make Il larger
amount of bread than the same guam
tity of flour made from any other
wheat. that is to say, Il barrel of flour
from No. 1 hard wheat will make

ARTEsIAN wELLS.

North Dakota has two well defined
artesian basins, one of which extends
through both Dakotas, and is known
as the Dakota Artesian Rasln." the
other the "Red River Valley Basin"
and evidences are multiplying tending
to prove the existance Of the devils
Lake Artesian Basin" The wells In
use number hundreds. Of varying force
and volume. In the first named basin
water comes to the surface with a
pressure as high rs ITO pounds to the
square inch and spouts from 100 to $50
feet In the air, furnishing fire protec-
ton in the towns, water for irrigating
purposes and power for mills and fact
cries. 1t has the strongest wells on
earth. The Dakota basin overs q large
part Of North and South Dakota, ex-
tending north and south nearly $50
miles, and some biologists claim 400
miles, and at least 100 miles from east
to west. Investigations up to the pres
ent time indicate the boundary to be as
follows: It's eastern border is the east
ern part Of the Dakotas, involving the
western part of Minnesota and its
western limit is the foothills Of the
Rocky mountains. The eastern border
Is as yet imperfectly defined. The
same Is true as regards it's northern
line.

HOW MUCH MONEY SHOULD 1 HAVD
TO START WITH.

This question is often asked us by
intending settlers, and it is impossible
to frame an answer that will meet all
varying circumstances.
Some Of our most prosperous farm
ers Of to-day came with little or no
means. North Dakota soil Is prolific.
and the opportunities offered to an en-
ergetic, pushing man are, we believe.
better than anywhere else in the
world, yet u advice is to come pre-
pared for any possible emergency.
Any man, the head Of a family,
should not come with less than sufi.

til his first crop is produced; even
then, to succeed, he must have push
and energy, which will often help
along to success quicker than capital

MILLS.

There are GO Touring mills located at
various points Throughout our state
and every one is a prosperous enter
prise. There are q number Of good
openings at the centers Of trade in pro-
ductive wheat growing districts where
additional mills m needed. Conditions
are such that a Touring mill is one
thing desired by a town or community
who are remote from one, and practi-
cal millers can always find a number
of towns ready to cooperate in the or
ganization and establishment Of a
home mill, knowing that the addition
to the town is Of great benefit as O
market for the farmer who prefers to
hold a portion Of his crop to sell to his
miller during the season between har-
vests. The farm community foster and
patronize it for this reason, the mer-
chant or tradesman to increase his
market, and the double interest is one
which is a sure stay to the miller, as
suring him from the start a sure sue
cess. The milling quality Of our grain
Is so we'll known throughout the world
that the miller always has a ready
cash sale for his product.

HOME STOCK MARKET.

The Fargo Packing and Cold Storage
company was established in Fargo in
May. 1896, with a paid-up capital Of
$4,000, all subscribed by local capital
lists. The wonderful strides being
made for a few years prior to their or
%ganization, in the stock business of the
state, seemed to promise well for this
institution, the doubts entertained at
the start having been dissipated thor
oughly. and it is to-day II of the most
successful institutions in our state.
They have purchased in our home mar
ket since organization over 100000
worth of live stock, selling it after kill
Ing and manufacturing to consumers
Of the state, thus furnishing to the SELL
er and buyer alike the same prices and
facilities as are enjoyed by those living
near the large cities Of the West.

twenty-five or more loaves of bread
than any other kind of flour. But
what about it's richness in albumi-
noids, the materials from which the
human body is nourished and built
up?
The average percentage of these all
mentary principles in American wheat
is about 1915. In North Dakota, how
ver-and Northwestern Minnesota is
similarly CONFERENCE.-The average per-
centage is found to be 1914, while in
the two specimens that stood ut the
head Of the 2,7GO analyZed-both Of
them raised in the Red River valley
and on different far1ns-it reached
1898 and 1888. The specimen con-
tanning 1903 per cent is the richest
that has yet been analysed in the
United States. The poorest specimen
from the Red River valley yielded a
percentage Of 1913. When it is re-
membered that these substances are to
the woven fabric, the significance of
the figures quoted cannot fail to be
appreciated.
Pursuing the analysis still further,
the report also shows that Of the vari-
Gus brands of flour analysed, q Mime
sofa product contained the highest
percentage both of gluten and nitro
gen. The former goes to the making
Of muscle, while the latter, a non-com.
bustible element, enters largely into
the composition Of the more enduring
parts Of the human body, to which it
has been said to have q relation much
the same as that Of iron to the stove.

ON the proposition to divide Willard from

Hon. Charles II. Libby and ID. A. Meaher,

MIR. Libby opened the case. He told
the committee about the complex situation

sents practically all Of the residents Of the
village of Willard. Mr.. Libby gave the
members Of the committee history of
the division of the old town Of Cape
Elizabeth and south Portland, the latter
having become now a city. The ques-
tion at issue is one relating to the needs
of the people in the section which desires
to be set of. The legislature has recog
nized the fact that the system of towns
are to be changed when the needs of the
people make changes desirable. Thus
at this session, the Legislature has created
the Greater Portland. There is now be.
fore the committee proposition to annex
South Portland to Portland. The village
of Willard is one inhabited largely by
fishermen. 1t always has been. 1t does
