Iboundless west in which to locate.
How is it today. States which few
years ago were parts Of the unsettled
and almost unexplored west are the
homes of millions. The sons and
daughters of the pioneers are going
out to find for themselves homes
where? In all this broad land there
is no 'boundless west. no terra incog-
nita today. We have no wilderness,
no frontier. and of all the millions of
acres which, butt a, short time ago, in
vited the settler, the agricultural! lands
Of North Dakota constitute the only
great area left to be appropriated at
anything like pioneer prices. ~"
"The man who buys North Dakota
lands today may not be able to sell at
an advance tomorrow, or next year.
The prospects are that he will. but
there may be temporary crop and bus
mess conditions which will prevent
an immediate advance, but I am sat
isfied that the field for the man who
wishes to invest money where it will
be absolutely safe, and where it will
yield handsome profit to him few
years hence, and to the children who
survive him, is not on Wall street, but
right here in the state of North Da-
kota.'

contract of % miles on the Oberon ex-
tension, went north today where there
are about 200 teams at work Fifty
five of them belong to the contractor,
the others are from Minneapolis and
Duluth No farmers teams are en-
gagged as the horses are not in condi-
ton or heavy enough as rule for the
work. Most of the grading has been
sublet by the yard, and grading will
be completed by July Is and the line
ready for business about August 1.
There will be one good town about
half way between the end of track and
Oberon. 1t has not yet been located.
The extension will draw trade from
Oberon, Minnewaukan, Fessenden
Harvey and other towns on the 500,
There is quite a rush of people looking
for the future locations of business op-
portunities in the towns to be on the
new extension.

INSURANCE LAW.
Minneapolis Times: Elevator and
grain men operating in North Dakota
are interested in new law enacted at
the recent session of the North Dakota
legislature. The grain men, as a rule,
insured their property with companies
having agencies at central points. The
fiickertail insurance men objected and
as result a law was passed forbidding
the practice. But the grain and ele-
vator men have hit upon an idea that
if carried out will enable them to es-
cape the workings of the new measure.
1t is reported they propose to establish
an agency of their own in North Da-
kota and in this manner will not be
compelled to contribute premiums to
the many agencies throughout the
state.

The Wheel Problem.


= Which, at any given moment, is NOV
ing forward faster-the top of coach
wheel or the bottom? -: W. /. 2,
The answer to this question seems
simple enough, but probably nine per-
sons out of ten. asked at random.
would give the wrong reply. 1t would
appear at first sight that the top and
bottom must be moving at the same
rate-that is, the speed Of the carriage
But by little thought It will be dis
covered that the bottom Of the wheel
is In fact, by the direction Of. its mo
ton around its axis, moving backward.
IN an opposite direction to that which
the carriage is advancing and is con-
seauently stationary in space. while
the point on top Of the wheel is NOV
ing forward with the double velocity
Of its own motion around the axis and
the speed at which the carriage moves.

JUDGE WINCHESTER DENIES THE
APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF
MABEAS CORPUS IN THE CHAP

After the conclusion of the argu-
ments in the Chappelle habeas corpus
case Judge Winchester denied the ap-
plication for writ, thus holding
ChappelIe for trial. After hearing the
evidence in the case and the argu-
ments of the legal points in the case,
the judge decided that there was evi-
dence enough to warrant the presen-
tation Of The case to the jury. 1t is
admitted the evidence in the case that
is of a direct nature is not strong, but
the judge holds it should go to the
jury, An appeal will probably be
made to the supreme court at once,
and they viii be asked to issue the
writ Of habeas corpus: Attorney Mil
Ter is confident the supreme court will
grant the writ. .

WOULD BUY LAND.

SUPERINTENDENT DEVINE HAS
LITTLE FAITH IN WALL STREET
BUT PLENTY IN NORTH DA-

State Superintendent Devine was IN
at Grand Forks the latter part of the
week in attendance upon the tri-county
teachers association meeting. In
speaking of the recent furry in Wall
street the state superintendent said he
had been overlooked when the specula-
ton pointers were distributed and
hadn't got on the right side of N. P.
OR any other stock. Further he said:
I'll tell you, though, what I would
do with money if had it to invest.

opinion there is no investment in the
world which for safety and certainty
O. good returns compares with that in
the lands of our own state. I have
thought a great deal on this subject,
and have dipped q little into the his
tory of the thing, and I find that the
figures prove early land investments
to have been always good. They may
not have been Immediately profitable,
but they have been ultimately so. This
is shown by the history of all of the
eastern states, and at a later period by
the history OF the settlement Of Ohio,
Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota. Com
