estimated that an acre Of ground on
one Of the old farms is worked from rom
six to eight days, the blowing, cutivat-
ing, narrowing, ETC., being muehSmo
carefully looked after. Two and q
half days work on an acre of Dakota
soil is about as much as it gets, and
the yield is generally greater than t the
old farms produce. With the same
time and work spent on the Dakota soil
it will produce much greater results
than in Iowa and Minnesota, and the

There seems to be abundant proof
that newspaper publishers are their
own worst enemies, when they resort
to rate cutting for spite or to crafty
some personal animosity towards fell
low publishers. No publisher In this
state is making money commensurate
with the capital and energy involved
and many are losing money simply be-
cause they choose to publish legal n
other advertisements below legal or
commercial rates-to get even with an
unfair competitor. A fragrant case
in point is shown by the following,
taken from the Pioneer Press query
column:
20. There are two papers in
Lakota, N. D.-the Nelson County OBJ
server and the Lakota Herald. The
Observer offers to advertise final proof
notices for 81, whereas the Herald
charges SIS. The register Of the land
Office at Grand Forks owns the Herald,
and sends all notices to that paper and
refuses to accept proofs advertised In
| the other paper. The. question is
Has a man a right to advertise in any
paper he likes, or must he put it in the
| registers paper? A. This question
was referred to Commissioner Her
mann of the general land office al
| Washington, who replies that, in re
Spouse to a similar complaint last year
Register Kent of the Grand Forks land
office, said that. he was not the owner
OF the Lakota Herald. The commits
sioner adds: "Under the law Is il
now stands, congress has vested in the
register the power to designate ths
paper in which final proofs shall b
published, subject to the mandator!
direction that such notices shall b.
published in the bona hde newspape

In October last, Henry Clews, the
New York banker, published the fol-
lowing statement: The present
strong market only represents the gem
eral confidence in MI. McKinley's re-
election; but when his election shall
have been announced four prospective
years CT the greatest prosperity for this
country that any nation has ever wit
messed will furnish ample Incentive to
boom the market, and I expect to see
for a prolonged period the most active
markets Wall street has ever enjoyed.
The eyes of the world are upon this
/ country-upon its vast resources that
are being developed by such resistless
energy as builds Russia's Trans-Siber-
ian Railway and England's Atbara
bridge. The moral force of our peo-
pie will command the markets of the
| world, and when the seal is set upon
confidence in the stability Of our fin
ances, what better investment can be
| found than in our great railway and
Industrial enterprises?" Mr.. Clews
was an accurate prognosticator. Last
week witnessed the most gigantic spec
ulative' trading in the history Of the
world. The total number Of shares on
stock sold on the New York stock ex.

The board of education Of the city
has signified it's appreciation OF the:
work done in the public schools by the
reelection OF the entire force Of teach
ers for the ensuing year. Doubtless
this will meet with the approval Of the
residents Of the city who are inter
ested in the schools. Under Prof.
Moore and his corps Of assistant teach
ers the public schools Of the city have
made rapid forward strides In the past
few years. The course in the, high
schools has been enlarged and brought
up to standard and the work in all de-
partments has been thoroughly graded
and classified. The residents of the
city have a to be proud OF the
schools, and it is one Of the greatest
benefits to the rising generations in
even the smaller cities of the country
that theymay be equippedf for the bat
tic of life with a thorough and com
prehensiVe high school education, sufi-
Client to the needs Of persons outside
the lines of special or professional
work. The teachers in the schools
are hard working and conscientious.
While at times there may be slight
friction, IN the end it is well for par
ents and pupils to lend their willing
cooperation in the enforcement of dis
cipline and the incubation OF knoWl-
edge. The public school force is to
be congratulated upon having done its
work SO Wellthat its retention by the
board, without the exception Of single
teaches, was tremendously agreed
upon.

TIE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
CENTER OF POPULATION.

.os the changes in the center Of popula-
ton OF the United States has just been
sent out by Director Merriam. The
center OF population of the country is
the center of gravity, each individual
being assumed to be Of the same
weight. The most interesting fact
in this connection is that the center,
while travelling westward, as would be
expected, has veered little to the north
OF south but has closely chung to the
same parallel Of latitude.
In 1890 the center Of population was
about % miles east Of Baltimore. In
the following decade it moved to a.
point about IS miles west of Balti-
more. In 1910 it was about forty
miles northwest of Washington. In
1920 it had moved into Virginia. In
1880 it had moved westward and south
ward into West Virginia, This was
the most decided southwark movement
that it has. made during any decade.
IT appears to have been due in part to
the addition Of Florida to our terri
tory, and in part to the great extension
of settlements in Alabama, Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Arkansas, Or gener-
ally, it may be said, in the southwest.
From 1880 to 1910 it moved still far
Their westward, but slightly changed
its direction northward, reaching a
point sixteen miles south Of Clarks-
burg, in the present state Of West Viz
ginia. During this decade settlement
had made decided advances in the
prairie states and in the southern por-
tions of Michigan and wisconsin, the
balance Of increased settlement evi-
IDENTIFY being in favor of the northwest.
From 1910 to 1850 it moved westward
and slightly southwark again, reach
ing a. point about 2 miles southeast
OF Petersburg, in the present state Of
West Virginia, the change of direction
southwark being largely due to the an
on Texas. VIII ~ &,4z ~ ~
From 1850 to 1860 it moved west
ward and slightly northward,; reach
ing a point 20 miles south OF Chilli
Gothic, Ohio. Ill,
From 1860 to 1870 it moved west
ward and sharply northward, reaching
a point about 4S miles east by north of
Cincinnati, Chic. This northward
movement "a due in part to waste
and destruction in the south, eonse-
auent upon the civil a and in part,
probably, to the fact that the census
OF 1870 was defective in its enumera-
tion OF the southern people, especially
OF the newly enfranchised negro popn-
SIation.
In 1850 the center OF population had
returned southwark to nearly the same
latitude which it had in 1860. This
southwark movement was due only in
part to an imperfect enumeration at
the south in 1870. During the decade
from 1870 to 1sS0ssthe southern states
made large positive increase, both
from natural growth and from migra-
lion southwark
Ins 1890 the center of population had
moved northWard into practically the
same latitude II occupied In 1870. This
northwasd movement was largely due
fo the great development III the cities
Of the northwest and Id the state 81
Washington, and also To the increase

A GAME FOR FAIR WEEK
Match Wanted With the University
and Davidson College.
AN 0FfERhAs BEEN MADE TO THE TEAMS
The A. and NJ. Team Meets the University
Eleven Next week. Clemson HAS One
Of the Strongest Teams in
the South.

Raleigh is to be the scene of several
notable football contests this year.
Thanksgiving day there will be great
contest between the University and Glenn
son College on the grid iron here. This
news will be read with interest by foot
glad to have the opportunity of seeing the
Varsity football team. Raleigh was given
the game in preference to other cities,
and that a big crowd will witness the
game goes without saying.
In Clemson the Varsity will have
strong opponent A few weeks ago the
South Carolina boys played Gnilford Col
lega and defeated the Quaker boys by the
tremendous score Of 100 to O. Clemson
has one of the strongest football teams in
the South and the game here Thanksgiv-
ing day will be watched with interest in
the Southern football world.
The game here with Clemson will be the
final contest the Carolina boys engage In
before trying conclusions with their old
rivals from Virginia. The people here
will be able to get an eye on the char
acter of the Varsity boys game.
President Cox and Secretary Pogue, of
the State Fair. are endeavoring to arrange
a game of football here Fair week be-
tween the University team and the eleven
from Davidson College, An offer has been
made the two teams to rlay here Thurs
day or Friday and the matter Is now un-
der consideration. If game cannot be
arranged between these teams the Fair
authorities will endeavor to have game
here Fair week between two college
teams
The A. and M. football team will have
a weeks rest before tackling the Univer-
sity eleven. Next Saturday the cadets go
to CHAPEL Hill to try conclusions with
the Varsity. The A. and M. team this
year is undoubtedly the strongest that
has ever represented the college. While
the boys are not making any boasts they
say they expect to play their and to make
the contest at least interesting. The A.
and M. team this year is a heavy one.
1t will average $50 pounds in weight. No
little of the success of the team is due
to the efforts of coach Jim McRae, who
was for several years a star half back on
the versiiv team. Mr.. McRae has been
whipped out cf the raw material into
good shape in remarkably quick time.
1t has not been definitely decided that
the University of North Carolina and
University of Virginia will play in Nor
folk this year. An agreement has not vet
been arranged as to the charge for the
grounds.

RUSSIA PROVES A FRIEND
Her Ambassador to Turkey Supports
Our Demands.
HOPE OF MISS STONES EARLY RELEASE
Efforts Toward Opening Negotiations With Her
Abductors Are Proceeding. The RAN
sem Of the Lady is Nov, the
First Consideration.
(By the Associated Press.)

Constantinople, Oct. 12.-Since the bri-
gands who abducted Miss Stone were To-
Gated on the mountain of Gultepe, the ap-
proach of the troops induced them to
change their retreat. They are now hid
ing on the Turko- Bulgarian frontier,
ready to cross to either side as circum-
stances demand.
The decision to suspend the movements
of the troops was partially due to the
difficulties in operating in the mounta-
neous country and partly owing to fear
that a further advance might endanger
life of Miss Stone. hence the Americans
desire to try and negotiate for the pay
ment Of a ransom. 1t is hoped this will
result in the release of Miss Stone in a
few days
The officials of the United States lega-
ticn arc much gratified at the Russon
action in the matter. The Russian Am
bassador is supporting the American de-
mands and the steps taken by the Secre-
tary of the United States legation Eddy,
in every way possible.
