on Display.

Buffalo, Oct. 23.-(Special-The
debonair editor of the Tribune ought
now TO feel happy over the fact that
the Slope is being widely advertised
ait the North Dakota booth by the fin
est lot of vegetables that eve came
over the pike. The sample of wheat
that came from the Washburn coun-
try is the best shown here of the crop
of 1901, and so it is demonstrated to a
certainty that the Slope is again on
the map as an agricultural district,
and if all the ranges are gobbled up
by hardy husbandmen next spring the
cattlemen can wreak vengeance on the
fellows who will insist on growing
and showing such wonders of the vege-
table world.
This reminds me that proper credit
has NOT been given Commissioner
Turner for his good work in getting
the vegetable display from that and
other sections down here. While it is
true that the farmers grew the stuff
it is also true that had not Turner got
ten out and made a hustle probably
little, if any, of it would have been
sent down. as the producers seemed
to have gone to sleep so far
as the exposition was concerned.
We are indebted to him and Prof.
Waldron for about all the exhibits Of
this years crop that we have and are
full OF appreciation for the hustle.
Turner and Mikelson arrived safely
last week and M. was shown how the
ladies of the far east dance the two
step, and Judging from the grin UPON
his mobile countenance l judge that
he thought it an improvement on the
American way, though he did say
something about their bad judgment
in carrying around so much clothing,
remarking that he was a little disap-
pointed in that respect, otherwise it
was all right. At the end he and Tur-
ner sat half an hour waiting for the
show that had been announced "for
men only" only to find that 1T had
been postponed on account of the
cold weather, the ladies Directing to
run the risk of getting pneumonia 1t
was a grievous disappointment that
was only assuaged by seeing at another
show the famous LADY Hamilton" do
the living picture act, there being
stoves in that place and the lady not
being Inconvenience with surplus
clothing. .
1t is a matter of great disappoint-
ment to the North Dakota. push that
OUR butter makers fell down. at the
last of the butter competition and
, failed to keep UP the supply to the
end. In the October scoring all but
one failed to get their samples here
in time for it to be judged by the Off
cial Judges and it had to be scored by
an unofficial gentleman and doubtless
did not fare as well as it otherwise
would have done. There was but one
tub ait this scoring, consequently those
who dropped Out have lost the benefit
of the general average for the entire
season. All butter sent down aver
aged away up with that shown by
other states and it was a matter OF
comment that SO young an industry
should make such a good record. The
superintendent of that department was
much interested in our exhibit and
was as much disappointed in the mis-.
cue at the last as we. -
We are having a great time over the
big pumpkin Turner bought at the
