horses. Speaking to the Alert of the
advances made in conditions from the
stock business he said:
The stock business is bringing the
people of that so-called dried-out, hot
wind county right to the front. I
have a farm Of $500 acres near the
town where I keep what stock l take
in trade until I turn it'off again; also
farm about 600 acres. I feed up every
thing-straw, hay, corn and grain if
necessary. Turn every kind of farm
product into something that will bring
in money. can afford to give credit
to a nan with a few young cattle,
horses and sheep growing up, where
a Wisconsin or Michigan merchant
can't safely trust a la who expects
to pay from the proceeds of his share
of a high price rented farm of old
land. Our grand Dakota country is
far ahead of the eastern states for
money making prospects. Last fall
l could take a field glass and count
10000 head of cattle from the second
story of my building.
Zone head, of stock at present prices
will pay quite a grocery or store bill.
In the summer we range stock in the
hills a few miles west and round them
up on the farms for wintering. This
has been brought about in the last
few years, and our people are getting
well-to-do who have quit depending
on grain alone.
Corn is coming to the front with us.
A few years of c%ultivating the fields in
corn seems to take the wildness out of
the land. The breaking up of the
surface by the cultivator keeps the
moisture underneath. This can not
be done so we'll with grain. We are
now raising as good corn in Faulk
county as they do in Iowa.

The Northern Pacific is preparing a
statement upon scientific authority to
refute the story that lac geysers of the
Yellowstone National park are dying
out. Capt. H. H. Chittenden, the Off
GER in charge Of the improvement of
the Yellowstone National park, says
that the present condition of the res
ervation is as promising as at any time
in it's history. The activity of the
various geyser basins shows no signs
of diminution. There are some changes
but of no Importance. The various
features of interest are more Access
sible to the public than ever before.
The game in the park, with the pos
sible exception of the buffalo, is con-
stantly increasing.

fortunate that the choice falls upon

Now that Major White is in politics
a Wheatland man arouses the prohi-

major who introduced the bill for the

bill in question was a house bill, and
Major White was a member of the

The following characteristic tele-
gram from Mandan shows how even
the water in the Missouri river is
better on the Mandan side-in the es-
timation of the Mandan people:
The Northern Pacific company has
installed it's new electric pump east
Of Mandan about a mile, power to
which is conveyed on wires. The
pump is run by a 20-horse power cleo
trio motor, and it works smoothly.
Locomotives engineers who are using
the water from the new well say that
it is excellent, better and clearer than
Missouri river water taken from the
Bismrck standpipe. The Bismarck
water is pumped from the river and
then allowed to settle in the large re-
servoirs of the Bismarck water COM
pany. The water now being used by
the railroad from it's new well is Mis-
souri, river water filtered through
about a half a mile of sand that separ-
ates the we'll from the river.
Thus we see that the magnificent
system of waterworks owned by Bis
marck is all a mistake. We should
have simply dug a hole in the sand
somewhere and allowed the water to
filter through and then gone down and
dipped it with buckets and carried it
home when we needed it.

Editor Shiels of the Edgeley Mail
has lost his postofice at Edgeley. A
dispatch from Washington says:
Representative Spalding nominated
Charles Gunthrop for postmaster at
Edgeley, LaMoure county, N. D., In
place of Shiels, removed. Some time
ago complaint was made that Post
master Shiels had removed to Fargo.
An inspector was sent to Edgeley to
Investigate. He reported against
| Shiels, and MI. Spalding was asked to
recommend a successor. Shiels, how
ever, promised to return, but did not
do so, and the department again asked
Mr.. Spalding 20 make a recommends
ton. This he did To-Day.
Editor Shiels has gone into the mag.
netic healing business at Fargo, and
it is probable that he finds that much
more remunerative than pounding
stamps.

Joe Manley, national republican
committeeman from Maine, speaking
of candidates for the vice presidency,
says. "Ex-Senator. w. D. Wash
burn Of Minnesota would be an ideal
candidate. He has the advantage of
having been born in Maine, and of
having been a member of one of the
most famous and distinguished of our
great American families. Washburn
has served his country, and we'll, in
the United States senate. But I I'M
derstand MI. Washburn does not care
to again enter public life, as he is I'M
mersed in his large business interests,
I'll. Washburn is very strong in the
northwest and throughout the coun-
try with business interests, and would
no doubt add strength to the repub.
lican ticket should he accept the nom
nation"

Senator Hoar is an able man and a
great man but he is the representa-
tive of a policy that is behind the
times. 1t would be no more possible
to restrict the growth of the United
States than it would the growth of a
healthy child. The logic of public
events demands that this nation take
it's place with the nations of the earth.
There are countries that are not quail
flied, because of environment, to gov
ern themselves. The best political
policy demands that they be governed
by the nation best fitted to govern, and
that will give them the wisest and best
government. Theoretically, all per-
sons are free and equal, endowed with
the same aspirations and fitted for the
enjoyment of the same liberties. Prac-
tically, the condition does not exist.
Peoples whose self-governmeht would
mean internal warfare, rebellion, de-
struction and neglect of the natural
resources Of their countries, would,
under the guluing hand of a stronger
and ADLER power, flourish and produce
goods for the worlds use. Senator
Hoar:s speech favoring immediate in
dependence for the Filipinos was
good, but independence for them at
this time would mean merely that
within a chort tin,o como othor po,,,o,,
would step in and conquer them.

The Grand Forks Herald sees where
the settlers who came into North Da-
kota this year will have n great adj
vantage over those who came II or 20
years ago, in that they will be able to
raise a remunerative crop the first
season. Farmers who came here
years ago occasionally planted a little
wheat on the newly broken sod, but
the results were scarcely ever salts
factory. Wheat needs a finer seed
bed than that furnished by new break
ing, and the plan generally adopted
was to spend the first summer blowing
and back-setting for the next years
crop. There was thus no revenue the
first year.. Now that flax has come to
be a crop of prime Importance a large
area of new land will be sown with
this grain which thrives we'll on sod
ground, and which rots and mellows
the sod as no other grain does. Many
of the new settlers will thus more than
pay expenses the first year.
The new stamp books that have beer
issued by the government go to show
that the government. works with al
eye single to the comfort and welfare
Of it's people. The books have stamps
inserted between sheets of waxet
paper, that they may not stick. Ev
eryone may not appreciate this con
yenience, but the man who has sat IL
until the small hours Of the mornin
soaking a stamp off the blank page Q
a memorandum book in order that h
might write home for money will sc
where the government is in this in
stance a public ~benefactor. We do nc
think of anything that will site
tighter than a stuck postage stamp III
less it be poverty. Once let a health
? postage stamp adhere to a pocketboo
or a memorandum book and it is the,
5 to stay. It cannot be coaxed, soake
pulled or torn away. We beg to col
e graduate the government upon tt
new stamp books.

armed whatever feelings Of apprehen-
sion may arise within him and then
you grasp him firmly by the tail, being
all the time fearless and firm. Hav-
ing secured a firm tail hold, you
strike him back of the ear with an
axe or whatever weapon comes handi-
est and the thing is done. We have
never seen the success of this method
demonstrated, but have no doubt of it's
efficiency. Some method like this for
charming skunks has been a necessity
for many years. We have seen a man
o%stracised from society and become an
enforced hermit for the simple reason
that he had attempted to handle a
skunk in an unskillful manner. This
new method will revolutionize. the
skunk business. 1t will no longer be
necessary for the humble citizen to
make a long detour and sneak home
by a circuitous route when he describes
a skunk in his pathway. He will
simply have to walk up and stroke
him gently, according to plans and
specifications, grasp him firmly by the
tail as laid down in the manual, and,
if he has bad luck, go off and bury
himself until winter comes again. If
you are in doubt as to the efficiency
of the method. try it the first oppor-
tunity that presents itself.

Every once in a while he goes to New

Land seekers and buyers have been
numerous in the city for the past
week. They have not been brought
out by any company but take advan-
tage of the low rates to come to this
vicinity and investigate the opportun-
tiles in the way of cheap lands. Wise
men of the eastern states are begin
ming to realize that farming land is
II of the properties in the United
States that is certain to increase in
price. The population of the country
is increasing and the demand for land
is growing. Land which lies at pres
ent uncultivated throughout the state
will in a few years be all taken up and
cultivated. Opportunities for the
raising Of crops cannot longer be ne-
elected. The available farming land
in the United States must come to be
used. Those VINO buy land at the
low rates prevailing now will find the
investment highly profitable. Land
in the past has been lower than it will
ever be again. Sagacious men see
this and consequently they are buying
wherever possible at low prices, of
the arabic land in the state.
