OUR INDUSTRIAL GROWTH.

The figures. which are being
Published by various statistical
bureaus representing the indus
trial development in progress in
North Dakota and other western
states carry with them an in
structive lesson. =,
It is brief time since we all
looked upon the Territory of Da-
kota as fated to remain a large
area for the cultivation of wheat,
with but few of the advantages,
climatic or otherwise, to induce
general settlement. We have seen
this wholly dissipated within ten
or fifteen years. The bonanza
wheat farm is as far from being a
permanent institution in North
Dakota today as is the cattle range
in Idaho or Washington.
An increase of 60 per cent in
the number of wage earners and OF
50 per cent in manufactured pro-
duction in North Dakota alone in
ten years tells a striking story.
In twenty-five years the entire
region OF the Northwest through
to the Pacific coast will be found
able to produce everything which
is necessary to the support of its
people and will moreover supply a
large proportion of the breadstuffs
and manufactured product neces.
sary to the Oriental market. The
steady inflow of population has its
own significance. Great natural
and economical forces are at work
producing the marvel of change
and Improvement which is going
on around US everywhere. The
wand of civil freedom and human
industry opens to its touch in this
great land vast fountain of sus.
tanning wealth.

The Commercial club Of Min
neapolis announced in the papers
last week, that at the banquet
rendered to Vice President Theo-
dore Roosevelt, on September LIST
prairie chicken would be served in
spite Of all the game wardens in
Minnesota. That is to say, the
game laws would be boldly violat-
ed that the club might give one
distinguished man chicken, and
me fact be made a boast of; but
when it comes to plain John
Smith shooting birds out of sea-
son, the law holds good. Tho
steward Of the club made arrange
ments to have the birds on hand
and glibly tells about it. If one
man can openly announce his de-
sign to have chicken dinner, in
spite of the law, why prevent
others from having them.

The Sunday Courier, of Buffalo,
N. Y, which is doing some great
feature work in connection with
the Pan-American exposition, de-
votes a page Of its latest issue to
the "Bread Basket Of the World"

North Dakota since the days Of its
immense hard wheat crops. The
article. does full justice to the

The price Of Cavalier county
land is going up and the big crop
now being harvested and thresh-
ed continues to give our farm
lands an upward tendency. People
outside the state who realize the
value of the soil and the extent of
the bargains to be had are raising
the price themselves. Land that
was not to be sold a few years
ago at any price is now selling for
from SIS to $40 an acre. There
are between 100000 and 100000
acres of school lands coming on
the market the coming month
and if the people here at home
do not pick it up or as much of it
as they can handle, the oppor-
tunity will not always be with us.

Our neighbors in the Valley
are willing now to admit that the
crops this year in this section OF
the country are ahead Of anything
that this heretofore favored sec
ton of the country has ever pro.
duced. We do not know of a
field of wheat that will yield less
than Is bushels to the acre and
have already received returns
from threshing that give machine
measure yield of from 81 to Is
bushels per acre. No flax has
been threshed up to the present
writing, but it is estimated that
it will yield from Is to 20 bushels,
Good judges say II bushels will
be the average. These figures are
not exaggerated and can be
verified by the threshing returns.

A FACT not generally known in
connection with the state teachers
examination lew, that went into
effect July LIST, is that two measures
of capacity have been determined
upon. One-the academic stand
ard - embracing the teachers
knowledge of the subjects laid be-
fore them-will be passed upon
by the state department. The
other, called professional qualiti-
cations,' which would include ex-
perience, capacity to impart know
ledge to scholars, alertness, and
general information, will be judged
by the county superintendent, and
a marking thereon given. These
markings will be returned by the
county superintendent with each
teachers papers. The state de-
partment will then pass upon the
written papers, add the result OBJ
tanned to the county superintend-
ent's marking, divide by two, and
the result will be announced as
each teachers rating. This result
may eliminate some teachers from
school life, but the net result will
be to greatly raise the teaching
standard of our state.
