sDEp1Na FLAx.

The editor of the Langdon Republican
is somewhat of farmer himself and
gives his experience and ideas for the
many who will this year seed flax for the
first time. From his ideas and exper-
ience we condense the following:
Flax is better in the granary than in
the ground during the month of May.
Because danger of frost until June LIST.
The latest time to plant fax is not later
than June 18th. Later seeding may grow
but frost is likely to catch it in the fall.
The best time to sow flax is the first
week in June.
A half peck is about right per acre tor
seed and three pecks have brought good
results.
Flax should be seeded as soon after
plowing as possible as it is poor weed
killer when young, and if weeds get the
start, the fax will be poor. Every
dollar expended in narrowing fax will
bring good profit.
Flax is good crop to raise on old
wheat lands. 1t also does quite well on
breaking, but that means lots of labor
getting the ground into condition.

"Fair Play in the Grand Forks Herald
suggests to some people who sneer at the
fact that Hon. Jud LaMoure heads the
Pembina county delegation, that Pembina
is quite a populous county, whose people
are equal in intelligence to those of other
counties, and If Mr.. LaMoure heads the
delegations, it is quite probable that
there are pretty good reasons for it, and
Fair Play enumerates some of those
reasons, which we need not repeatto our
readers in this county who know Mr..
I.aMoure tso we'll and-to the other
people-if they would just use common
sense, they could see how it all comes
about themselves. But lots Of them use
other faculties, which bias their common
sense. There's nothing so uncommon as
common sense.

.Boer war news is somewhat desultory
and scarce these days. Evidently Lord
Roberts is getting himself into scondi-
ton for. gradual and sure advance. There
is considerable skirmishing and some
times more, but nothing Of decided ad-
vantage!
In this waiting" game it looks as il
the British could stand it better than the
Beers. England has the whole world to
draw on for supplies. and her own re-
sources are very great. The Beers,
Notwithstanding immense accumulations
Of war material, must necessarily run
short sooner or later of some things
necessary in modern warfare and beyond
their resources or manufacturing ability
to replace. We think that the Beers
must already have had practically all
their fighting force in the field, and
armies have to be renewed about so often.
It looks like repetition Of the fight of
the Southerners in the War Of the Re-
bellion. At the last there was grand
collapse of men, material, money; and
tor the last year Of that war it was a
hopeless fight except the hope of foreign
Intervention.
The Beers can hardly prolong their
fight as did the Southerners, because it
took the North three years to surround
the South by a blockade; while the Beers
by their geographical position have. so
far as getting in supplies is concerned,
been blockaded from the first.
Another thing, which is no small mat
ter, is that the Boer is teaching the
!: :Englishman how to fight. By this we do
not mean how to be brave; that quality
is accorded the English by even their
enemies; but it takes hard knocks and
defeats to teach the London clerk, the
Manchester weaver, the Lincolnshire
farmer and Newcastle collier to be a
soldier, and particularly South African
soldier. And by all accounts the Boer
has SO far been a good school master,
and the British. though slow, must neces-
sarily have learned something and as
We said lin time, he will learn to get be-
hind stone Just as aptly and shoot as
straight from behind it as his teacher.

Fires.

The dry weather has made conaagra-
tons very possible during the last week.
and from all sides we hear of severe
losses.
The greatest of these was at Edinburg
last Friday, where the entire business
portion of that village was burned. A
strong wind was blowing, fire started in
some unknown manner in drug store,
and in few minutes half dozen build.
ings were burning and all went at so
rapid rate that almost everything was
burned, without opportunity Of salvage.
The total property loss is in the neigh
borhood Of s2oO, ,O00 with about 800, 600
insurance The loss of two lives, Mrs.
Jacob Lindal and Mrs. B. Bjornson, were
terrible incidents, and go to show the
rapidity with which the fire spread. The
two ladies stopped to gather valuables,
were surrounded by fire, their light cloth
ing caught, and their screams Of agony
could be heard, but no help could be
|given them.
At Devils Lake three fires occurred
within twelve hours. The first consum-
ing large livery barn occupied by c. A.
Prince. The second was in a hotel,
caused by the dropping of lamp, but
this was extinguished without much
damage. At about 11:45 fire broke out
again; this time the Tower Hotel was on
fire and from this the LaRue mill and
elevator caught. and at one time thirteen
buildings were on fire at once. The loss
at Devils Lake aggregates $4,000 with
about 81, GOO insurance.
Forest fires on the Southeastern line
from Winnipeg burned a large amount of
forest and cord wood, and for time en-
dangered the lives ofa large number of
lumber men.
Similar fires are reported on the Cass
Lake branch OF the G. N, several towns
narrowly escaping being burned from
the fires in the forest. Many narrow
escapes from death are related, but ex-
cept for the two victims at Edinburg no
loss of lite is reported.
Quite number of isolated losses from
prairie and bush fires also occurred all
over Northern Minnesota and North Da-
kota. 1t was bad day for fires.

FOR HAWAII NEI
Professor KoebeIe Will Ship
Some of the Birds
Here.

ALAMEDA, Nov. 1S.-Professor AL
bert Koebele of 1926 Regent street, a
well known entomologist, who won the
gratitude of Californian horticulturists
by importing ladybug from Australia,
the vedalia criminals to prey upon the
destructive cottony cushion scale, re-
turned recently from the Hawaiian Is
lands, where he has been carrying on
his valuable scientific work on the big
plantations for some years. The last
time the professor went to Honolulu he
took with him quantity of tOads, an
insect destroyer unknown on the Is
lands. One object of his present trip to
this country is to secure large num-
Der Of woodpeckers for Hawaii.
The woodpecker is great insect
feeder and in the limited avifauna OF
the islands there is no bird which takes
its place. The owners of extensive
plantations believe that the woodpeck-
er will thrive in its new environment
and prove valuable aid in Kidding
I the fruit trees Of destroying insects
There are numerous species of wood
peckers and before undertaking the re-
sponsibility of shipping any of them tc
the islands Professor Koebele will Sc.
cure data on their food habits from the
Department of Agriculture.

NEW OREGON RAILROAD.
A Line Projected From Portland to
Nehalem Coal Fields.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 1s.-The Ore
gonian prints the following: The pro-
ject for a railroad from Portland to the
Nehalem cold fields is taking shape. 1t is
supposed that influences favorable to the
Great Northern are behind the present
Nehalem project. 1t is said that some
thing definite regarding the building of
the line will be given out in few days.
1t is expected to bring the Nehalem coal
and timber and agricultural products of
Tillamook country to Portland direct.
This route makes the distance from
Portland to Nehalem bay less than sew
enty-eight miles. 1t contemplates going
out few miles on one of two tracks al
ready bullion the Southern Pacific to
Hillsboro, or on the Northern Pacific to
a point near Holbrook. The Hillsboro
route, in connection with the Southern
Pacific would leave only fifty-eight miles
of new track to build to reach Nehalem
bay; from the Northern Pacific the mile
age would be a little more than seventy
three miles

AS TO THE
BIG CANAL
Interest in the Coming
Report.
BURGLARS SEEKING II
Probability That the Commission
Will Recommend the Nicaragua
Route to Congress.

. NEW YORK, Nov. 20-It was re-
ported in Washington, says a Herald
special, that burglars who were after
the forthcoming report of the Walker
isthmian canal commission had entered
the Corcoran building, in which the
commission had its offices, and had
broken open the desk of Lieutenant
Commander Staunton, secretary of the
commission.
Lieutenant Commander Staunton
said last night that when he tried to
open his desk day or two ago he dis
covered that the lock was broken. His
impression was that it was the work
of burglars, who for some purpose were
seeking to get advance information
about the conclusion of the report. He
sent for a locksmith, who persuaded
him that the desk had not been broken
open, but that the lock had become dis
arranged in the course of usage.
The incident created great excite
ment among the members of the COM
mission. The report of the commission
+, is being very closely safeguarded and
! IL is said some of the commissioners
are not yet acquainted with what the
report will contain.
| The best Information obtainable at
/ Washington is that the commission
certainly by a vote of five to four, and
possibly to six to three-will recon-
mend the Nicaraguan route. This is
based upon several differences as well
as upon statements from the commits
sioners themselves.
1t is said that President Mckinley
has received sufficient information
about the. report for use in his mes
sage. The message, If in line with the
rumor, will advocate the adoption of
the Nicaraguan route, the ratification
of the ayPauncefote treaty; the con-
struction of canal without fortifica-
tions and the adoption of tolls
discriminating in favor of the United
States, Costa Rica and Nicaragua only
so far as coastwise vessels are con-
cerned and leaving the canal open to
all the shipping of the world.
Final estimates of the cost of the
Nicaraguan canal have not yet beer
completed. The engineers are still
working on the figures.
Approximate figures of the cost of the
Nicaraguan canal are believed to bt
about $3.50, 600, 900.
The commission will resume it's ses
sion in Washington on Thursday and /
is expected to remain at work through
out the week.
