No Disbursement Seen.

The deputy state land commission
er has returned from trip through
the Red River valley, where he has
been leasing lands. Notwithstanding
the fact that there have been poor
crops through the valley this season,
there is no encouragement among the
farmers and they are preparing their
land this fall to SOW big acreage in
the spring, looking forward to a good
crop year. The leasings this fall will
fall about % per cent below'the figures
Of last year. But it must be remem-
bered that last year the amount re-
ceived by the state from leasings was
the largest in number of years. Con-
sidering the fact of the poor season,
the figures this year are gratifying.
The farmers have cash to lease land
with. One man in Traill county paid
down $500 cash for the lease of one
quarter section.
Threshing through the valley is
badly delayed by the continuous rains
Flax is rotting in the fields, the ber-
ries dropping off the straw and falling
to the ground. This will reduce the
yield of flax that it was hoped would
be gathered.

The committee elected A. w. Cum
ningham Of La MOure chairman.
SKETCH OF THE NOMINEE,


Marion Conklin, the independent
democratic nominee for district judge,
is a native of the state Of New York,
where he resided until the spring of
1883, when he removed to jamestown,
N. d., where he has since lived with
the exception of about two years, 1885
and 1886, when he was located at La
Moure, this state. Mr.. Conklin read
law in the Office Of A. S. Wood, a prom
inent lawyer of Wolcott, N. Y. He
was admitted to the bar in 1871, and
was several years thereafter partner
of Mr.. Wood in the practice1f law at
that place, under the firm name OF
Wood & COnklin. Mr.. Conklin has
always been d democrat, and for many
years before coming to this state rep
resented his town on the county board
of supervisors, and was also employed
by the county as special counsel in sew
eral important cases. Mr.. Conklin
has been engaged in the active prac-
tice of law in this state since 1890,
during which time he has been twice
elected states attorney Of this county,
the first time in 1890, when he ran
against his present opponent, the Hon.
S. L. Glaspell, and defeated him by a
handsome majority. His administra-
tiOn as states attorney was ecOnOm-
Ical and highly satisfactory to the res
idents and tax payers of the county.
Mr.. Conklin's qualifications for the
office are excellent. He is regarded as
a safe counsellor, faithful to his clients
and during the long practice of law
has made few or no enemies: is man
of even temperament and has keen
sense Of right and wrong, not easily
warped by prejudice. His legal Opin-
ions are respected by members of the
bar, generally. If elected judge, it is
predicted that he will make one of
the most satisfactory judges the dis
trict ever had.

Reclaiming AlkalI Land.

water from artesian wells, has been one
Of the problems Of farming in the west.
II. l.. 1Jossem, a farmer living In the
state OF Washington. Is said 10 have a
plan which has worked admirably, and
which has been called 20 the attention
Of government agricultural experts.
The method Is q system OF subdrain-
age, for the speedy and economic intro
duction of which he has invented u ma
chine. What the system will do has
been shown In a field OF alfalfa and
clover now growing on land that
two years ago was a bed Of alkali upon
which salt grass would scarcely grow.
About Gfty acres have been treated and
fifteen acres have been seeded. This
year six large haystacks adorn the
track. The first cutting Of mixed
clover and alfalfa yielded three tom To
the acre; the second Is yielding two
tons, and IL Is said a finer quality Is not
TO be found in the state.
The drainage tiles are laid four feet
below the surface by an implement re-
sembling u great pillow, which Is drag.
ged by a wire cable, working around q
winch, operated by two horses. The
investigation and government report on
this plan will be awaited with interest
by farmers throughout the entire arid
