Bismarck arc N. D.

The Northwestern which is
conceded the largest circulation is the
Minneapolis Tribune. AS an all round
purveyor of information and entertaining
reading its popularity is the best proof Of
its ascendency.
What the Daily Tribune is to the city
people the Twice-a-Week edition of the
same publication, the Farmers Tribune,
is to that great majority of the people of
the state who are too busy to read a
daily paper. @t
The Twice-a-Week Farmers Tribune,
is, to all intents and purposes. the farm
er's daily. It is a condensation of the
news for the three days preceding the
date Of publication and it contains the
very latest news up to the hour of going
to press. 3
The Farmers Tribune does not pre-
sumo to take the place of the home
weekly, but it supplies the place just
outside Of the sphere of the home paper,
and in this capacity it is of the highest
value to a large majority of the people of
the northwest. -

engagements with the publishers of The
Farmers Weekly whereby it is enabled
to make the most liberal and astonishing
offer we ever made.
If you are now a subscriber for the
Tribune we will send you The Farmers
Tribune twice, week. with your paid.

the paper. You thus get the two papers
for Sl.25. No stronger inducemeni
could be offered. I'LL

subscribers.

offer. 1t will not be continued long
You cannot afford to let this splendie
opportunity slip by. Send in your sub
scription to the Bismarck Tribune anc

IRRIGATION.

The reclamation of arid lands, which
was a prominent feature of food-produc-
ing operations in India, China, Egypt
and Mexico many centuries ago, is now
receiving more attention from the Unit
ed States government than ever before.
In congress the house has appointed a
strong standing committee on irrigation,
with a chairman and a majority of it's
members interested in or representing
irrigable sections. In the senate the
committee on reclamation of arid lands
is similarly constituted.
These committees listen to the de-
mands of the people and formulate legis-
lation which is intended to add to the
resourcesof nature quite as substantially
as if large areas of prolific territory were
being acquired from the outside.
The officers of the geological survey
are making an extended investigation of
the quantity and constancy of water
supplies in irrigable districts, locating
and surveying sites available for perma-
nent im%pounding reservoirs, measuring
the wastes from seepage, evaporation
and unchecked floods, and generally de-
termining or comparing the values of
different methods of irrigation and the
utility of different sources of water sup
ply.
The census office, combining itself strict
ly to exact facts and conditions, is sup
Iplementing these efforts of the govern
ment by making a census of irrigation
wells, dams, reservoirs, springs, canals
and bitches and the cost and character
thereof; of ownership, volume and con-
stancy of water sources, of water rights,
sales and rates, of the acreage, quantity
and value of irrigated crops, of unre-
claimed but irrigable land areas, etc.
Most of this work is being accomplish.
ed by means of schedules sent through
the mails in advance of the main field
work, which the law says shall be done
in June, 1900. Director Merriam deemed
SUCH a course warranted by the estimat
ed increase in irrigation wells to 12,00(
and the bitches and canals to 1900 dur
ing the past ten years, which means that
probably more than 100000 producers
are now raising crops and herds abHnd

PEMBINA TO THE GULF
Proposed Scheme for a Water Route
From Red River to the Gulf,

Fargo Forum: The drainage canal
committee which wasss to havesslmet in
Wahpeton on Wednesday was prevented
by a quarantine against smallpox. DR..
Kelsy of White Rock, the energetic..chair-
man, will call the committee together in
a few days-possibly at Fargo-to de-
eide upon a general meeting ofIall who
are interested in securing cheaper trans
portation to tide water. 1t is proposed
to dredge the Ottertail and Red rivers
build a reservoir at their junction at
Wahpeton-canal the few miles beween
lakes hTraverse rand Big Stone and the
Minnesota river and thus make a water
transportation route from Pembina to
the Gulf of Mexico. The government is
already considering the reservoir at the
month of the Ottertail. By judicious
handling of the waters of this river the
Red can be kept channel deep and sus-
plus water turned south when necessary
BY keeping the Red in bounds-overfow
is prevented and thousands of acres of
overflow land now lsubject to high water
can be made to yield big crops. The
project is worthy of the attention OF
every resident of the Red river valley.
Mayor johnson is taking interest in the
matter and Contractor James Kennedy
of Fargo has examined the reservoir
scheme in years past and pronounces it
feasible.

SOME PRAIRIE BREEZES.
BRINGING OUR HEROES HON

BRINGING OUR HEROES HOME.
transports are arriving at San Fran
cisco with the bodies of soldiers killed in
the Philippines.}
Bringing our soldier home today-bring-
ing our hero home,
There's crepe on the door of the city hall,
and a flag flying from the dome,
Flying half mast, as though, like him, it
had only reached half way
To the heights it might have honored-
cut down in life's heyday.
Mute are the ringing bugles, futters the
mantling shroud,
The eyes of men speak sorrow and the
heads of men are bowed,
Bowed in a silent homage to Greatness,
dumb and dead,
That gave its life to ~Glory-She gave it
death instead.
A touch Of holy quiet the old house
seems to fill,
People come and look at him, lying so
calm and still,
Come and peer and drop a tear-come
and go away,
Greeting and saying Good bye" to the
boy they've brought us home today.
Lying there with his country's flag drap,
ing him all around,
Lying there asleep, disturbed by nc
single noise or sound,
His mother comes and looks at him
looks and kneels and prays,
Prays for strength to bow unto the
Lords mysterious ways.
Bearing away his coffin now, with mar
tial step and tread,
Laying him there in the ~churchyard, il
the dust with the dumb and dead.
Reading a verse of scripture, breathing
a prayer to God, 'T%
Cold, SO cold, is the damp and mould Of
the earth's uplifted sod.
Going away and leaving him-leavine
him there alone, ~
Going away and being brave-chokine
a sob and moan,
All for the love of country, and no maj
knows the price
Till he offers up his flesh and blood a.
an atrial sacrifice. +
Bringing hero home today, bringing
our hero home, g..
Crepe on the door Of the city hall, and
flag floating from the dome,
Only one of a thousand, he sleeps, no
stirs nor cries,
Only one Of a thousand for whom a dip
ped flag flies.
Glory is his, he earned it, the glory o
Greatness, dead,
Dead on the field Of battle flowers ar
strewn and spread,
But the glory of death is holIow-holloy
and cold, and flies
Swift, swift away from the darkene,
home, where the torn heart aches an,
cries.

Mr.. W. ]. Eldridge, claremore, l.
T.-Replying to your letter OF the
28th ultimo, asking information as
to your right to cut timber on
lands occupied by you and claimed
as your prospective allotment Tor
the purpose of erecting improve
ments thereon, you are respectfully
advised that ifyou are a recognized
citizen of the Cherokee nation, in
possession OF not more than your
proportionate share of the lands Of
the tribe which you intend in good
faith to take as your allotment,
and desire to procure timber there
from for the sole purpose Of erect
ing thereon such improvements as
fences, buildings, ETC., and for no
other purpose, you would be per-
mitted to do so; but it would be in
violation of law for you to sellor
dispose ., any such timber or the
lumber made therefrom, or to give
any of it to the owner Of any saw
mill for saving.
Respectfully,
