White has given the railway merger

that he is just as likely to be right in
his conclusions as TO what the people

UNDERWRITERS ASSOCIATION.
Secretary Wasem of the u~ndertakers
association sends the following to I'M
dertakers through the state:
October 1, 1901, a number of under
takers met in the city of Fargo and Or
ganized an association. There were
but few present, and the matter OF call
ing another meeting was left with the
executive committee. Before doing
anything. w want to know whether
you will become a member, and if a
meeting is called at some convenient
point during the months of February
or March, would you attend? Also, if
you r in favor of having an instruc-
tor and a two OF three days school.
If a sufficient number will pledge
themselves ID become members and
promise to pay the admission fee Of S.,
the committee will feel warranted in
taking steps to secure a competent in
structor and arranging for the meet
ing. We feel that a good organiza-
ton will be of great benefit to those
engaged in our business in this state,
but we must have the hearty support
of at least a majority of the undertake
ers, if we make it a uccess and get
the price out of it that we should.
The world is on the move, and we must
keep in touch with the new ideas if VIZ
wish to be in the procession.

WASHINGTON ADVICES SAY
THERE IS A DISAGREEMENT AS
TO HOMESTEADING IRRIGATED
LANDS.
A Washington dispatch says: The
members from the arid land states in
terested in irrigation legislation will
meet tomorrow to resume consideration
of plans for pressing the subject at the
present session.
Differences of opinion among the ir-
rigation advocates have arisen which
add interest to.the situation. Senator
Warren is opposed to the proposition
to open the reclaimed sections under
the homestead law. Senator Hans
brought insists that his bill, which has
been adopted as the basis for irrigation
legislation, shall provide for the Open
ing Of the lands affected under the
present homestead laws. The bill, as
it now stands, provides that settlers
shall pay S. an acre and no entryman
allowed to take more than eighty acres
There is a feeling in favor Of adopt
ing a sliding scale SO as to allow the
entry OF 100 acres in the agricultural
Northwest, and to permit the secretary
OF the interior to fix a maximum in
other localities. In Arizona, for ex-
ample, twenty acres of good fruit land
with plenty Of water is considered suf-
ficient for one family. A suggestion
has been made In this connection by
southern senators that all the public
lands reclaimed shall be turned over

sell the land again to actual settlers
at little more than the cost with i'm
provements. The property, it is said,
was secured at a cost of 100000 and
offers room for from 5000 to 5000 set
tiers. The irrigation works will be
completed and the land will be offered
for settlement as soon as water is
again flowing through the bitches.
The purchased ssaid to be an expert
ment to establish the value of irrigated
lands in that section and to develop a
district that has prospects of becom-
ing productive of much freight. .

The Jamestown Alert thinks there
is a valuable market for North Dakota
butter and eggs in Montana if the rail-
roads would assist the farmers and
producers of this state by giving them
railroad rates. Butter and eggs in
Montana i both selling at a high fig
ure and there is a scarcity of both
products. North Dakota raises the
grain and feed that would make it q
center of supply for these products il
arrangements could be made for thei,
regular shipment. .

settlers private use, as much land as
that settler shall need for the pasture
of his cattle up to the number Of 100
head, and that this preserve shall be
adjacent to the settlers home. AS to
the outside line fence. as that is mostly
for the protection of the lessee and not
OF the Indian, it might be safe enough
to leave to the lessee the option of
building it or not.
1t is said that the agitation against
contamination Of the leasing project
was started by some of the squaw men
on the reservation, who for years have
been using the pasture lands as if they
were their own property, one of them
having gone regularly into the business
of pasturing $4,000 cattle OF his own
there without paying the tribe a penny
of rent, and also slyly renting to out
side cattlemen the grazing privileges
on large tracts and pocketing the pro-
ceeds.
AS it was doubtful whether there
was any legal way of reaching this vi
cious practice and protecting the red
members of the tribe against fraud,
Commissioner Jones hit upon the plan
Of leasing, as already described. He
has what purports to be written au-
thority from a sufficient majority of
the tribe, given him as the result of a
regular council, to enter into lease in
the tribes behalf.
The opposing parties claim that this
authority was given, not because the
Indians wished to have their lands
leased, but because they saw that the
commissioner was bound to do some
thing to break UP the existing system
and concluded that they would better
come to terms and range themselves
on his side. Be this as it may, the
commissioner evidently believed that
he had the authority, and his purpose
in attacking the present practice, from
which the unhappy red man gets moth
ing and the white squaw man grows
rich, is to be commended. If he has
erred in the matter of the fencing,
there is still time to correct the mis-
take. The invitation to bidders spe-
officially reserved the right to throw
out all the bids; several Of the six
which were opened on Friday are i'm
perfect either in making an offer lower
than the upset requirement, or in at
taching certain unreasonable or i'm
practicable conditions. The best
thing to do under all the circumstances
is to advertise anew, and with an
amended program. Meanwhile the
commissioners can ~forestall the senate
committee investigation by sending for
all parties in interest to state their
grievances to him and give him ali the
light possible on the subject.

The committee on manufactures of
the senate, of which Senator McCum-
Der of North Dakota is chairman, has
prepared a digest of the pure food and
dairy laws Of the United States. The
committee says: "Since the commit
tee on manufactures investigated the
question of food products the subject
has become a vital one in a large num-
Der Of the states, the legislatures OF
which have passed laws prohibiting
the adulteration of food and drugs.
Every state in the union has some gen
eral or specific law upon the question
of food and drug a~dulteration. The
bill recommended by this committee,
known as the flour bill, has been Of
inestimable value, and the committee
can safely state that it has practically
ended the adulteration Of American
flour, which, at the time of the pas
sage of the bill, was a most common
practice. Thousands of barrels of
mixed flour were confiscated during the
first year of the enforcement of the
act. Every flour mill engaged in
grinding white earth as a substitute
for flour has closed its business. The
health Of the people has been protected
thereby; the honest manufacturer has
been relieved Of the unfair competition
which he had to meet with those who
aduIterated their flour; the reputation
of American flour increased at home
and aboad; the export of American
flour the first twelve months after the
passage of the bill increased from TO-
100000 to 100000 barrels, which, in
the opinion of the committee, as
shown by correspondence with the
leading exporters, was largely due to
the fact that every barrel of American
flour is guaranteed by the government
to be. pure. This instance is cited to
encourage further proper pure food
legislation, in accordance with bills re-
ported by this committee. The COM
mittee is of the opinion that there
should be national legislation upon
this subject, as that would control in
terstate commerce in ~adulterated foods.
1t is the only way to guarantee uni
formfty of legislation, and will sub
stantially help our American products
in foreign countries by giving it the
p~ovarnmant on1oranty urh;cb Sc ,roo1x,
demanded by our customers abroad

to the states, but this will undoubtedly
be opposed.
The irrigation advocates have nearly
completed their plan of campaign.
They intend to urge the bill on it's mer-

found the opposition is so strong as
to defeat affirmative action on an in
dependent measure it will be offered

EDMONTON

FORMER RESIDENT OF NORTH
WRITES TO PROSPECTIVE
HOMESEEKERS OF THE CONDI-
TIONs THERE.
With a view to correcting the pre-
vailing idea of what are the conditions
OF the western provinces of the North
west Territories, viewed as a grain
growing and stock raising region, the
Langdon Democrat has obtained for
publication in its columns a letter writ
ten by an ex-Cayalier county resident,
who has now made his home in the
Canadian Northwest for several years.
There have been inquiries upon this
subject frequently and the appended
letter gives all the information likely
to be desired:
Replying to yours of recent date as
to how I like the Northwest Territories
will try Ito give you a description Of
the section of country in which I am
located, and how myself and neighbors
have found things, particularly as re-
CARDS grain and stock farming. What
have to say below is based upon ac-
tual personal experiences, entirely
without color either in favor or against
the country, and may be taken as Cos
pei truth by those from your section
OF country, who may be thinking &.
making a change from North Dakota
to the Northwest Territories:
The Edmonton district is a very level
country. The town is located on the
north side Of Saskatchewan river,
three miles north of the G. &. E. rail-
road station, Strathcona, which has a
population Of 1900: the population of
Edmonton being about 1000. There
is no enterprise in Edmonton except
electric lights, and one -four mill and
one saw mill. The chief crop is oats,
when it ripens it yields Go to 100 bush
els to the acre. Wheat seldom ripens
on low land. Barley is generally a
good crop Of from 40 to IS bushels per
acre on high rolling land, but such
land is very scarce. The soil here is
a very Light black loan, with a gumbo
or heavy clay bottom. The timber is
poplar or willows, that grow on the
tillable land. Timber used for build
ing purposes, in native spruce ana tam
arac. is shipped in from British Col
umbia. There is no prairie land in
this district to speak OF. 1t is brush
and poplar. There is a large prairie
county fifty miles east, but is poor
prairie land. Some parts are claimed
to be good for stock. IA large per cent
OF cattle die here every winter: the
supposed cause is the water, which all
over this country contains much alkali.
There is not a well in this town that
contains water fit for household or
cooking use. The water used BY the
people OF Edmonton is hauled from the
saskatchewan, and six barrels sell for
$1.00. Horses have died by the hun-
dreds this season. There have also
been a large number Of hogs die. and
IN both cases the cause is attributed to
the alkali water. There are very few

sheep raised here. Potatoes as a crop
are bad here. except where they are
raised on sandy soil, under other con-
dlt1ons they seldom ripen, as the sea-
son is too. short. Onions cannot be
raised for winter use; cabbage is good
and there is plenty of it; beets only
medium, except those of the two-legged
variety; carrots have been found a
good crop. Hay is disappearing, it
being usually but a poor crop. Grain
d a don't ripen is the principal for
age for stock. There is no fall plow-
ing here, it is all done between the list
OF May and the 10Th OF June. Har-
vesting OF wheat and oats is started
between September 5 and 10Th. Last
fall we had a heavy frost on September
9th that destroyed all vegetables. Hail
storms are numerous and severe all
through this section. In the past sea-
son We were visited with ten inches of
snow on September 21st, and at that
time over forty per cent of the crop
was uncut and it's condition afterward
was so bad that it was impossible to
cut it with a machine. Threshing
commenced about October Sth.
There have been hundreds of home
seekers here from the states within
the past three years, but since that
time at least IS pei cent of them have
returned from whence they came. and
the balance are crazy to get back as
soon as they can arrange matters. We
have had snow on the ground for
eleven months during the past year.

August 9th, which.it is claimed dam
