Many Settlers.

A train load of settlers from iowa
arrived over the James Valley branch
of the Northern Pacific this afternoon.
The train consisted of 3S box cars
loaded with machinery, household
goods, horses and other things neces-
sary to newcomers who propose toI
begin farming. Four coaches were
occupied by the settlers and their
families. A baggage coach was also
attached to the train.
The settlers are bound for differ
ent portions of the state. Cars were
sent to Heaton, Bismarck, Svkeston,
Darlington, Barlow, and Jessie.
Twenty seven cars were sent to Bis
marck from which place the. settlers
will leave for Mclean county.
About dozen cars were sent to
points on the ]. & N. One car was
sent to Jessie on the Cooperstown
branch.
All the settlers have money and
will be prepared to begin farming at
once with all the machinery and
horses necessary.
The train was in two sections
About three hundred people were on
it. Of these about two hundred went
to Bismarck, the remainder going to
places on the JAMESTOWN & Northern.
! r. w. Heaton was in charge OF the
settlers and went to Bismack With
those who were going to locate at
that place. Families of the settlers
accompanied them.
They were all tired after tile three
days ride and expressed themselves
as beng glad that their journey was
nearly completed.
Thirty more cars OF settlers and
their effects will arrive March 22

munism and the redistribution of
the assets of society.
The Presidents career in the
beginning is a striking illustra-
ton of the immense value of
pure, high. stainless personal
character as an element of sue
cess in public life. He wears
the triple armor of him who hath
his quarrel just. He has es-
capea calumny.
All our recent presidents. with
one exception, have been reput-
able enough. but Mckinley has
been more than this-he has
lived up to his ideal. He has
made the golden rule the law of
his conduct. He has been loyal
to his home, faithfulto his friends,
magEanimous to his adversaries
constant in his devotion to duty.
He has paid his tithes Of anise,
cummin; he has not omitted the
weightier matters of the law.
His defects and limitations are
recognized. but no one doubts
his patriotism, his sincerity. his
determination to do right, his
love of justice. He is safe and
sane; a planet and not a meteor
His opponents respect him, and
the people. regardless of party
honor and trust him.

Alert Farmers Are Keeping In Touch
with Their Local Scientists.
Farmers appear to be taking more
and more interest in the work done by
their state experiment stations. At the
appearance of new agricultural prob
lens. such as insect pests, plant dis
eases, etc. many of them look for adj
vice and assistance to their station.
The stations also keep them inform
ed as to new industries and improved
methods of carrying on the old The
value which progressive a~griculturists
place upon this experimental work is
Indicated by the alertness with which
they seize upon and probably employ
all valuable information disseminated
from these sources.
According to Secretary Wilson, 1.-THE
stations are to an increasing extent be-
coming centers of information and au-
thority on the lines of work in which
they have been engaged, with special
reference to the local requirements of
agriculture. = = There is no meth
cd of informing the tiIler of the soil so
valuable tt him as to have practical
scientists studying the conditions of
production in his neighborhood."
In order that the people whom it con-
cerned might be better acquainted
with the work done there the Nebraska
station last summer arranged a series
of excursions for farmers to the state
farm, which were largely taken adj
vantage of, and many farmers no
doubt received new impressions and
ideas which were turned to profit in
future work. The systems of work
and study and the facilities of differ
emit stations of course vary. But the

ENLARGED

President Hill Of the Great Northern
railroad is one of the leaders in the
movement for Oriental markets for u
grain products and his energy in set
ting forth the advantages of a western
as well as an eastern market for
surplus grain has done much toward
opening up this discussion and bring
ing to mind the possibilities of the
Asiatic trade. In a speech delivered
at St. Paul not long ago, Nh. Hill said:
If one-third of the people of the world
only are wheat eaters and the other
two-thirds live on rice or maize or rye,
we must find Our markets with people
who are not nov consumers Of our
crop. We must have more people to
consume the stuff we now produce. 1t
is not an experiment. / believe that
wherever wheaton -four has been intro
duced to any race, with the single ex-
ception of the black race, they are from
that time on ready to consume it. Take
our OWL American Indians. Once they
have had it the Indians want -four
more than anything else and will go
further to get it-except possibly fire.
water. The Asiatic rice eaters are as
fond of -four as the white race and as
ready to eat it at a fair price.
The question may arise, how can
people who work for wages of from
10 to Is cents a day and have lived for
centuries on just such wages-how can
they buy flour which must be carried
across the Pacific ocean? II they did
buy -four instead of four and One4half
bushels per capita, at the rate of n
bushel per capita, we in this country
would have to be eating corn pone. We
simply couldn't sell it to them. Sup
pose we could let them have 100000
600 bushels, which is a very large sur-
plus-the average for ten years has
been about 81, 100000 bushels. If we
could sell them one bushei per capita,
dt would take 100000 bushels to sup
ply China and Japan alone, to say moth
ing of the Straits Settlements and other
countries having a large population.
1t the home market, which we have
nursed 50 long fof our iron and steel
Industries, is OF SO much value, let lis

Edgeley congratulates itself upon a
supply of ice SO clear and pure that
objects can be seen through it. This
is a deceptive logic. We have been
led to believe that there was whiskey
in existence that objects could be seen
through-weird, impossible objects
with wings and feathers and feet like
centipedes, and it wasn't clear or pure
whiskey either. Seeing objects
through anything isn't absolute proof
Of it's purity. -,

it will not advance, and you will go on
hoping against hope. You will not
get a high price for your wheat until
wheat is made scarce. The figures /
have already given illustrate it per-
lectly. A shortage of only 70,0On,"00
bushels in Il years crop raised the
price of the whole many times the value
OF the shortage. s
If we could increase our export to
the Orient by 100000 bushels and
reduce our export TO Europe 50.0OO,000
bushels, | haven't the slightest doubt
that it would advance the price of
what we do send to Europe Is Or 20
cents.
In the first place. what we would
send to the Orient would 60 from the
Pacific coast. The Pacific coast is
handled in a manner entirely different
from that which prevails east of the
Rocky mountains. Having to cross
the equator twice, it must be carried
in sacks to prevent heating, not in bulk
in the hull of a ship, as on the great
lakes or the Atlantic. The grain is all
practically bought by three concerns.
two of them located in Liverpool and
also interested in the White Star line
of steamers, so that they furnish their
own shipping. 1t is sent to England
and sold for what it will bring. 1t
acts as a damper-a wet blanket-on
the entire market. The voyage around
the Horn is four months long, and by
the time the first cargoes are reaching
port the last are leaving. SO that it is all
afioat at the same time. The buyer
in Europe knows what is ahoat. Thus
the nj in which the crop is ham
died breaks the market down more
than twice the same amount from
Atlantic ports. There the buyer must
send over and place his order in adj
vance of shipment. With the Pacific
coast grain it must sell for what it will
bring. The ship cannot be delayed
and the grain cannot be stored in sacks.
You must excuse me if l digress
from the question of markets to take a
whack at the farmers. They certainly
ought to do better for themselves. In
England they have raised their aver
age from ten or twelve bushels a hun
dred years ago to . to 26 bushels. Ev-
cry intelligent farmer knows thai I'M
der fair conditions he is entitled to %
bushels to the acre, if cultivated prop
erly. On, they say, that is special Gull
%tivation- / would make it general
cultivation.
l notice that the senator from New
Hampshire has introduced a bill look
ing TO the appointment Of a commits
sion to Investigate our commercial re-
lations with the Orient with a view TO
extending Our markets. The new sem
ator from North Dakota in the first
thirty DAYS of his service has intro
duced a similar proposition. Both of
them to me to wander wide of the
mark They want two members of
the commission from the Atlantic
slope, two from the Pacific seaboard
and one from the middle west. The
Pacific slope, to be sure, raises 3.OOO,-
600 bushels of grain, but the people
whose interest is the greatest and who
will derive the greatest benefit are the
people of the middle west.
