THE North Dakota farmer who
pinned his faith to flax can shake
hands with the potato belt farmer this
year. It is said at points in North
Dakota where flax has been raised to
any great extent that the farmers are
rolling in prosperity, and the banks
are afraid that 1.-THE poor farmer' will
drop in and take up all his paper this
year. The fax movement in the north
west this year has been the heaviest in
the history of the country. Last year
lis stations in North Dakota shipped
1850, 900 bushels of faxseed. This year
it is estimated that the same stations
will ship 100000 bushels These sta
tions are on the 500, the Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific roads.

THAT the United States is assumi

THAT the United States is assuming
an important position among the pow
ers of the world and is no longer a
domestic nation is very clearly pointed
out by Walter Wellman, the Wash
ington correspondent of the Record
Herald of Chicago, who gives some of
the very important questions of world
wide import that will engross the at
tention of congress. They are the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty and the con-
struction of the isthmian canal, the
reciprocity treaties with foreign pow
ers, our colonial policy and its relation
to our domestic and the worlds trade,
the proposition to abrogate the old
Rush-Bagot treaty with England for
bidding the building of warships on
the great lakes, the proposed purchase
of the Danish West Indies, the renewal
of the Chinese exclusion act, the con-
struction of the Pacific cable, and the
most important of all, the precise scope
of the Monroe doctrine. There is
plenty of food for thought for the
American statesman.

REV. CHAs. H. PARKHURsT, the
New York divine who has won a great
reputation for his crusades against
vice in that city, now comes out in favor
of keeping the saloons open certain
hours on Sunday so that the German
can have his lagerbeer for himself and
family. The New York divine has
come to the conclusion that the way
to the Germans heart is through his
stomach on schooner of beer. DR..
Parkhurst says: "The German is a
man of family and man of self-respect.
He would be the last to stand for what
we have undergone. I, for one, want
to convince him that we mean to look

MITIGATION ON RED RIVER.

In his annual report to the war de-
partment General Gellispie, chief of
engineers of the us army, makes
report on the improvement of the Red
River of the North for navigation pur-
poses. To improve the Red River of
the North where navigation is con-
fined to comparatively short reaches
north and south of Grand Forks, an
appropriation of S16,320 is asked and
for completing the existing project
$4,000 is asked for next year. It is
said that it is the intention OF the war
department to make free channel for
navigation from Breckenridge to the
Canadian line, distance of nearly 400
miles. The work will be planned as
follows: Between Breckenridge and
Moorhead, 81 miles, the plan is to de-
velop channel which may be navi-
gated during hig b and medium stages
of water; between Moorhead and Grand
Forks, 155 miles, a channel so feet
wide and three feet deep at low water,
and from Grand Forks to the Canadian
line 1881 miles, a channel fifty feet
wide and four feet deep at low water
Incidental to this general scheme the
department proposes a three-foot open
channel improvement for the Red Lake
river and Red Lake from Thief River
Falls, distance of 1876 miles.
The government has so far expended
on the work of maintaining navigation
on this and Red Lake river nearly
5000, 900 which it is said is little more
than one-half Of the total cost as orig
inally estimated. Open and navigable
water courses in northern Minnesota
rivers may be little expensive at the
start but they will prove of great value
in many ways.

AGRICULTURAL WEALTH.

The American farmer has not been
far behind the band wagon of prosper.
ity these last few years, and he has
kept right in the procession. Our
agricultural wealth is simply i'm
mense." The Orange Judd Farmer
has been making a few observations
and it's conclusions are as follows:
''The cereals, (wFeat, corn, oats, rye
and barley raised in the United States
during the past five years represent
value to the farmer of $3.50 millions of
dollars, or an increase of nearly 1000
millions over the preceding five years.
"Cotton growers have Melted 400
million dollars more for the past five
crops Q90l crop estimated) than for
the previous FIVE. t.
''Taking 1896 as a fair basis of values
during the late agricultural depression,
nine staple crops for this year repre-
sent an increase in value of over 700
millions of dollars. Live stock is worth
], 1000 millions more now than then. :.
''During the past five years agricul-
tural exports have been 1913 millions of
dollars greater in value than for the
preceding five years, a gain of 80 per
cent. while exports Of manufactures
have almost doubled in value. The
excess of exports over imports is nearly
threefold that of 1926. Whereas in
the former period the United States
lost 220 millions of dollars in gold, dur
ing the past five years it gained 1872
millions, or net addition to the ma
tion's gold supply of 412 millions. The
total stock of gold in the United States
now (l125 millions) is double what it
was five years ago, and the per capita
circulation of money ($28) is SO per
cent. greater now than then.'
The wheat crop alone is worth $50
million dollars more than it was last
year, and the total value of farm pro-
ducts is 400 million dollars greater
than last year. It is wonderful, the
story the figures tell, but they are the
result of the trade conditions, both
foreign and domestic. At home we are
living better and consuming more
right along, while favorable trade con-
ditions enable us to export large guam
titles of our products. These figures
do not sound soothing to Populist,
we admit, and he doesn't paste them in
his scrap book.

ses her letter to the Princeton young
folks who are taken through the pic
turesque and historic streets of Hunts
vile to the kindergarten school where
the spirit of Columbus and Hiawatha

The editor of the Graceville Enter

The editor of the Graceville Enter
prise knows as much about the price
of beef cattle and the price of steak as
the proprietor Of junk shop. For
the instruction of his readers he prints
the following: with the Chicago
packers paying three cents pound to
the farmers for fat cattle, and retail
ing the steaks to the workingmen at
Is cents a pound, it does not take an
overly bright person to figure who is
getting the benefit of the full dinner
pail" If the Graceville editor ever
reads the papers he ought to know
that Chicago packers pay more than
three cents for fat cattle and he ought
to know that fat cattle at Chicago are
worth four to seven cents. A pretty
poor scrub will sell at three cents at
Chicago and any country boy who ever
reads the market reports knows this.
Then as to the Chicago packers selling
the workingman steaks at Is cents a
pound, what a lot of nonsense this is.
Any Intelligent person knows full we'll
that there are few choice cuts to
every beef that are worth considerably
more than the ordinary cuts, and that
only those who wish to be lavish with
their money buy this particular part
of the beef. We really think that the
editor of the Enterprise knows this to
be so, but he does not want to think it
is so as he is running the political end
of a newspaper that does not permit
him to think so. After citing the three
cent beef and the twenty cent steak
he exclaims 1T does not take an overly
bright person to figure who is getting
the benefit of the full dinner pail.''
Now if the Enterprise editor really
desires to find out who is getting the
benefit of the full dinner pail let him
stroll through some of the great manu-
featuring districts of our big cities and
see who is really getting the benefit of
the full dinner pail. All this Popu-
listic and Democratic rot makes an
awful lot OF people very tired at the
present time.

THE R.lILIV4Y ss1IERGER.y

The incorporation of the Northern
Sureties Co. in New Jersey for the pur-
pose of effecting the consolidation of
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern railway properties, and incidental
ly the Burlington, with an iron-clad
agreement with the Union Pacific rail-
road, is one of the most stupendous rail-
way consultations of modern times.
and here in the northwest it has arous-
ed much public sentiment, as it is quite
evident that the intent of the Northern
Sureties> Co. is to evade the State laws
Uncertain commonwealth against the
consolidation of parallel and competing
railways. Gov. Van SAINT has taken the
bull by the horns without any core mo-
ny whatever and says that the State of
Minnesota will not permit this merger
ofrailroad interests if he can help it,
and he has gone so far as to call on the
governors of all northwestern States to
join with Minnesota in trying to defeat
the consummation of this gigantic deal.
The legal Representatives of the roads
interested insist that the deal is only a
little harmless consolidation of stock,
and does not go so far as to particip ate
in the business management of the rail-
roads which will be conducted as here
tofore. But this the public will take
with two or three grains of salt, as it
is thought that the merger means a
consolidation of interests in way that
will effect some radical changes in the
operation of the two transcontinal lines
that will prove serious to business in
terests throughout the States traversed
by the roads. If the governor insists
on stirring up public sentiment on this
question which it will be an easy mat
ter to do, the State of Minnesota will
determine whether there is any relief
from possible burdens of the big rail-
way yoke. The gentlemen who are in
terested in this deal say to the people
that it will be a good thing for the pub
lie and that though Messrs. Hill, Har-
riman, Morgan, Rockefeller, ct al. real
ly did intend to give the public gen.
uine snap, these magnates must even
tually go the way of all flesh. and the
Northern Sureties co. goes on forever
and might develop into railway COM
bination that the people would be very
glad to get rid of.
