ARMY TROUBLES
AGAIN CROP OUT
Deep Interest Manifested in
Assignment of Col.
J. N. Story.
Was Leading Spirit in Ordnance Bureau
Fight-Department Now in the
Foreground.

Officers of the army stationed in this
city conversant with the details OF the
fight between the Board of Ordnance and
Fortifications, of which General Miles is
president, and the Ordnance Department
are awaiting with interest the appoint
ment by the Secretary OF War of a sue
cessor to Col. J. p. Story, recently re-
lieved a member OF the board.
That there is a significance in the order
assigning Colonel Story to duty solely at
Fort Monroe as president of the Artillery
School is readily admitted. 1t is well
known that he has been a leading spirit
in the fight OF the Board OF Ordnance
against the Ordnance Department
Bitter Feeling Exists.
For many years bitter feeling has ex-
listed between the two. 1t is claimed by
the former body that when Congress Gre
ated the board it was with the express in
tention that it should determine all ord
nance types for adoption by the army
This contention is denied by the Ord
nance Department, under whose auspices
tests of new ordnance have been made
and reports submitted to the Secretary
OF War.
In Foreground.
Before General Crozier was appointed
Chief OF Ordance, Secretary Root appar-
emily favored the claims of the board, but
since that time he has never acted in any
manner upon the proceedings of the board
in which important recommendations are
made and funds allotted for the testing
of new and improved ordnance. The Ord
nance Department is now in the fore
ground. much to the thagriE OF the board
presided over by General Miles.
1t is believed at the War Department
that Secretary Root will assign to duty
on the Board of Ordnance and Fortiica
tions to fill the vacancy created by the
detachment of Colonel Story an officer
friendly to the Ordnance Department.

Surprise for Music Lovers.

Inasmuch as the lovers of symphony
music have so few opportunities to graf
ify their desires in Washington. the Her
bert concerts are always literally pat
ronized, and yesterday was no exception,
a generous portion of musical and social
Washington being in attendance at the
concert. The public here knows Victor
Herbert and the able musicians under his
direction, but a surprise awaited them in
the assisting soloist of the afternoon,
Miss Julie Geyer, young pianiste OF
whom the local public knew compara-
lively nothing until she appeared on the
Columbia stage yesterday.
With all their liking for good music
and their keen appreciation of the g,eat
masters. the people of this city are in
dulgent and their generosity toward in
different young musicians, particularly pi-
anists. probably led them to greet Miss
Geyer with cordiality. and to regard her
efforts to make herself comfortable on
le piano stool, or rather chair, wlth

three measures Of Tschaikowskis con-

had the undivided and most rapt attention
of everybody in the house. With the first
note she struck her apparent nervous

With First Note-A Brilliant Artistic
Entire Programme Finely Rendered.

An audience of large proportions yester-

given by the Pittsburg Orchestra at the

strictly up to the standard which was

farm and low-priced adjoining and in
the wheat growing section of the
northwest territories is certainly
alluring at first sight, but with
everyone able to take up a homestead,
where will the farmer get sufficient
help to harvest his crop2 Then, after
he has a wheat crop ready for market,
where is it to be sold? The markets
of the United States are practically
closed to Canadian wheat and the
farmer must look to the other side of
the Atlantic a wide outlet but re-
strlcted so far as competition buying
is concerned.
American farmers who want to
move to cheap land can find it in var
ious parts of the country for i .25 to
$40 per acre. Add to this the fact of
it's being in or near settled comm uni
ties with social, educational and other
advantages, to say nothing of quick
market and transportati on facilities,
and a climate much nilder than the
Canadian northwest. Unless a farm
or can find better pay for his labor
than his present condition and situa-
tion affords, a mere gift of 100 acres
of land will not necessarily be of any
material benefit to him or his family.
These hints are thrown out as worth
careful thought, not losing sight Of
the fact that without doubt the un-
developed Canadian northwest is a
land of rich natural resources and
great possibilities. Orange Judd

FUTURE OF THE DAKOTAS.

Mandan independent: There are
three reasons why the Dakotas have a
great future. The first is that many
people have discovered that these
states have good deep soil and rich as
that of any state in the union, that
they are banner states for wheat,
oats and hay, therefore they offer the
greatest inducements for the raising
of cattle. The poor man can buy
himself one hundred and sixty acres
of land, begin with a small herd of
cattle, pasture them on land which he
can rent very cheaply, feed them in
winter on hay which he made, also
on land rented for a song. The only
output of money which need be made
in raising his cattle is that needed
for a long shed to be used in winter.
If he exercises patience, economy and
stick-to-it-iveness, his herd will in
crease from year to year and enable
him to enrich himself, in the
country's land.

Chicago papers, without exception,
are criticising the action Of certain
district judges in taking too active
and conspicuous a part in the late
election. There is nothing more re-
prehensible than a political judge.
The judge who besmirches the judi
cial ermine by dabbling in politics,
at once proclaims his utter unfitness
for the position he holds. The grow
ing disrespect for courts and judges in
this county is due largely to the
activity in politics Of those holding
judicial positions. The protest now
being made at Chicago is timely, and
it is to be hoped the remonstrance
will continue until every political
judge is driven off the bench. No
man who has a true conception of the
dignity surrounding the judgeship
will accept such an honorable and
responsible a position if he is not fit
ted to discharge his duties from that
high-minded plane demanded by the
public, and the mar who violates the
trust imposed in him by trailing the
sacred ermine he wears through poll
tics-and ward politics at that-can'
not hope to retain the respect of thu
public for the court over which h
presides, Or for himself personally.

SHALL AMERICAN FARMERS 90
TO CANADA?

Americans who are thinking of
emigrating to Canada to take up free
farm lands, or those at very low price,
should consider not only the present
and future possibilities Of Canadian
agriculture, but the political and
social condition of the section in
which they propose to settle. Tho
auses which induce large numbers of
Canadians to come to the United
States should also be given thoughtful
consideration. If the country does
not offer sufficient Inducements to
these people of English, Irish and
French descent to stay there and make
it their home, is it Likely to prove
mors attractive to native-born Ameri.

The Mandan Independent, a herto-
fore staunch Democratic sheet, but
which joined the fold of Republican
ism before the recent election, had an
sold subscriber stop his paper, be-
cause he is a Democrat. The indie

been a reader of the paper for ten
years, and that in all that time he has

Ignite COAL u

The Mandan Pioneer pays it's re-
spects to the Ignite coal trust. It
says:
"This paper has for twenty one
years been advocating the more gen
eral use Of Ignite, which is mined on
the Missouri slope. 1t has do-e it's
share in this work; has called atten-
tion scores of times to the enormous
ID foot vein of coal at Lehigh, four
miles east of Dickinson; to the eight
and nine foot veins at Sims; to the
millions Of tons of coal at New Salem
and in the region of the Blue Grass.
All this free advertising has been
given and the Pioneer articles have
been copied far and wide. Now what
is the situation? The coal business
west Of the Missouri river has become
becalmed. It has been struck by
something very much like the dold-
runs, which the sailors tell us about.
We have difficulty in getting coal
with which to run the engine that
prints this paper. We are rapidly
getting into a condition where We
don't care whether tho people of North
Dakota burn Ignite, anthracite or any
other foreign coal. When the Ignite
trust west of the river is so badly
managed that it cannot supply the de-
mands on its own side of the
Missouri, it will be a public advan.
tage if it would become bankrupt. II
has put the price up several times,
and it kicks about the freight rates.
Before the coming legislature does 8
thing about Ignite coal rates, il
should maze it a felony to be a party
to a coal trust and send the manag ger
to the penitentiary.
"Notice is hereby given to the
Cass county officials that they will be
exempt from criticism from this pape,
if they heat their buildings with
anthracite. Pending a dissolution Of

CROSS SECTION OF PIT FOR CELERY.
Of about twenty-four inches and three
feet wide and of any desired length.
Thoroughly loosen the soil in the bot
tom or shovel in loose top soil to form
a bed in which the roots of celery may
be set. Pack this trench with fully
grown plants, placing the roots close
together with considerable soil adher-
ing to them. AS the celery is placed in
the trench it should be well watered
and the trench allowed to remain open
long enough for the tops to become
dried off. Unless the soil is very dry at
the time of storing or extended warm
weather should follow, it will not be
necessary to apply any more water.
Place a twelve inch board on edge
along one side of the trench and bank
up the surplus earth on the outside.
Cover the trench with roof of boards,
sash, straw on poles or cornstalks from
which the tops have been removed,
placing the stalks across the pit with
one end resting on the board and the
other on the ground. Spread over this
a light covering Of straw or other
close packing material, and as the
weather becomes colder increase the
covering to keep out frost. Celery
stored In this manner will keep until
late in the winter, and while the meth
cd is too laborious for application on
large commercial scale it is to be rec
commended for the use of the farmer
and small grower because of its sim
plicity.
Almost without exception the larger
northern growers have found it I'M
profitable to store celery for late keep
ing, and those who still adhere TO the
practice do so In order that they may
control and supply a special trade.
Even under special circumstances there
is only a moderate profit in storing for
late marketing. Where these circum-
stances exist the best form of storage
is q broad and long structure with low
walls and even span roof coming al
most to the ground at the sides. The
roof should be of heavy planks, with
one end resting on top of the wall and
the other OH ridge pole supported by
line of posts through the center. The
cracks between the roof planks may be
battened with old celery blanching
boards and the whole covered to a
depth of four inches with earth and
sodded over or double rooted to keep
out frost.
The ends of the house should be built
double, with dead air space between,
