Grand Forks is to have an antispit-
ting law. At the meeting of the city
council an ordinance passed its final
reading that any persons splitting on
the sidewalks should be guilty of 4
mlsdemeanor and fined accordingly.
The ordinance is the direct outcome of
an agitation which was started by a
number of the ladies. The ordinance
passed with ten votes in favor and one
against.

MENT OF AGRICULTURE AD-

VENTION. w..
One of the most interesting speakers
of the Tri-State Grain and Stock Grow
ers' convention was M. A. Carleton,
cerealist and direct representative Of
Secretary Wilson of the department. Of
agriculture at Washington. He ad-
adressed the convention on 'Drouth Re-
sis9tent Cereals" and spoke of his ex-
perience in Southern Russia, which he
described as very similar in topog-
raphy and climate to North and South
Dakota. Over there it has been bait
tie to grow grain there, therefore it is
not to be wondered at that some splen-
did species of wheat come from that
section, and which are especially
adapted to the countries subject to
drouth or partially so. He has found
Arnautka, or macaroni wheat, one of
the best of these grains, and the tests
of this grain that have been made in
this state have been SO satisfactory
that the department at Washington is
doing all it can to introduce and en-
courage the growth of this wheat. He
stated 21,000,00O pounds of macaroni
wheat were imported into the United
States last year, which should have
been supplied by our farmers. Hun
dreds of thousands of bushels of mac
aroni were used in this country annu-
ally in the manufacture of an inferior
quality Of macaroni. which undoubt-
edly would be made from arnautka
wheat, which makes the best flour for
that purpose, if it was to be had.
He Thought winter rye could be
grown here successfully, the same be-
ing true of winter wheat of the Turkey
variety, which was a product Of the
Volga valley in Russia. He said
North Dakota oats were known every
where as of superior quality, therefore
the grade should be jealously guarded.
He warmly recommended the grow
ing OF emmer, commonly known as
spelz. In Russia this is known as
| polva and used as a breakfast food.
He was Of the opinion that the i'm
portance of broom corn millet was not
appreciated as it should be in the west
He considered it one of the best forage

OPPOSE NEW PLAN
OPPOSITION DEVELOPING TO
PLAN OF LEASING INDIAN RES
ERVATIONS BY ACREAGE.


A Washington special says: Oppo-
sition is manifested by the South Da-
kota delegation to the new leasing reg
ulations governing the grazing of cat
tie on Indian reservations in the state.
Indian Commissioner Jones has just
called for bids on several thousand
acres of grazing lands on he reserva-
tions comprising the Cheyenne river
and Standing Rock agencies: It is
proposed to let the land at about 4
cents per acre, or as much as may be
offered. ~
Representative Burke of South Da-
kota said today that the leasing policy
is prejudicial to the development and
interests OF his state. He said that
under the regulations it would be pos
sible for large company to secure
permits for all the lands to the exclu-
sion of the small stockmen in the state.
Another objection urged by Mr.. Burke
is that there is no restriction as to the
number of cattle that may be grazed
on the Indian lands He says that
this would make it possible for the
lands to be permanently injured fo1
pasturage. Mr.. Burke says further
that the policy of permitting long time
leases would deter the making of allot.
ments and the opening to settlement
of the lands included in the South Da-
kota reservations. Mr.. Burke pro-
poses to confer with his colleagues
with view to having formal protest
filed with the commissioner of Indian
affairs against the leasing regulations
| about to be put into force on Indians
lands in South Dakota.

HOW HE RECALLED A FACE HE

YEARS.
Minneapolis Journal: J. j. Hills
masterful mind for details and his
marvellous memory were never SO fore
IDLY demonstrated than for one brief
hour yesterday, when he clasped hands
with a man whom he had not seen in
more than thirty years and talked fam
iliarly of frontier persons and events
that might easily have faded from his
recollection. The circumstance was
all the more remarkable because every
other consideration seemed secondary
when Mr.. Hills attention was riveted
with sall-absorbing interest upon the
states preliminary move at Washing.
ton against the Northern Securities
company.
At the busiest moment Of the after.

world craved an audience with Mr.. Hill

trapper, scout, guide and frontiers
man.
| Charles Bottineaua brother of tht
late Pierre Bottineau Of Minneapolis
whose name is SO closely identified
with the early history OF the state
had met Mr.. Hill thirty y-two years be
fore on the formers farm, on the west
ern edge Of the Red river valley. nea,
the international boundary line. Hill
who was then only dreaming Of fttur,
empire, had come down from Winnipe,
on snow shoes, on tour Of inspection
through the Red river country, and llat
made the acquaintance OF Bottineau
on whose farm he camped en- route

Such candies as peanut brittle are far
less Injurious than fancy mixtures, as
they are made by simply melting sugar
and are without acids. Acid In the

into two forms, dextrose and levulose.
These are both deadly sweets and much
more prone to fermentation than real
sugar. This is the reason why 50 many

book, and Hill was quick to turn this
knowledge to his own account.
Charles had all the difadence and
love Of solitude that distinguish the
typical pioneer. He loved the free life
Of the plains, and there he has re-
mained, scarcely keeping pace with the
events which have
marked the winning Of the west. Only
occasionally does he venture into the
city. He came to Minneapolis few
days ago to visit his nephew, ]. B. Bot
tineau, son of Pierre. In talking
over the old days, the name Of Mr.. Hill
came up, and the nephew proposed that
Charles pay his old friend a visit.
'I guess he's forgotten all about
me-" was the reply. "He's lost all
track of Red river carts and dog trains,
and amt in his class>a any more.'
The younger man expressed the 5a-,
lief that Mr.. Hill would be glad % sse
his former acquaintance, and became
insistent that Charles Bottineau Glally
consented to seek an interview with
Hill.
The word t.Bottineau' had mag
netfc effect upon Hill when the visitors
requested admittance to his Office in
the Great Northern building. All af-
fairs of state were thrown promptly to
one side. The storm and stress Of a
legal battle hostile to Mr.. Hil1's vast
interests were forgotten in the pres
ence of the gray and grizzled compan-
ions Of other days. N
"Hello, Charlie, how are you? 2" was
his hearty greeting as he grasped the
others hand in grip that caused even
the plainsman to vince.
The callers then explained that they
had just dropped in to pay their re-
spects, and that they had no intention
of trespassing on Mr.. Hills time. He
insisted on their being seated, and re-
preached Charles for not having looked
him up in all the years since they had
met on intimate terms in the wilder
ness. Then Mr.. Hill became reminis-
cent and allowed his memory to rove
over the Red river valley of the past
Without any prompting from Bottineau
he asked what became of Joe Hamlin,
whose Indian name was Cacho, and
who had acted as Mr.. Hills guide in
their trip overland from Winnipeg.
II remember" said Mr.. Hill, "that
it was in the winter, and was pretty
badly used up with NAL de raquet
(snowshoe sickness)'
Then he went into the particulars
about the Red river country and be-
trayed a more intimate acquaintance
with the geographical details of that
section than even Bottineau boasted.
Neither had the big railroad man for
gotten a single name of fur trader or
voyageur with whom he had come in
contact in the old Red river cart days.
| The hour hand had made the circuit
before they arose to go, and even then
Mr.. Hill wanted to prolong the conver-
vation '5G- s.

The Grand Forks Herald has been
Investigating land sales in the Red
river valley and finds that the land
companies are now paying more atten-
tion to the improved lands in the val
ley counties and the great influx Of
settlers will be more noticeable in
those sections than for many years
past. In Grand Forks county, for in
stance, the large land companies are
buying thousands Of acres. One COM
pany in Iowa has agents there at the
present time negotiating for the pur-
chase OF block of 10000, and has so
families ready to take every acre Of it
and come to this state in the early
spring. Many Of the larger farmers
have determined to cut up their i'm
mense tracts in small 100 acre farms
and dispose of them to small, but sub
stantial farmers from Indiana, Iowa
and Illinois. J.. H. Mathews, one of
the large farmers near Larimore, is
among this class. He has spent some
weeks this winter in Indiana, and will
return south again on the 10th of this
month in the interests of immigration.
He has a farm of 5000 acres, and will
divide it up into 100 acre farms and in
tends to dispose of it all before he re-
turns in the spring. He is aware of
several colonies Of from 40 to 60 fam
lilies that are intending to come to
North Dakota in the spring, and the
greater portion of them are looking
for small but improved farms in the
valley counties They do not intend
to go into wheat raising extensively,
but will engage in diversified farming
such as they have been pursuing in the
older states. For this reason they
will be the most valuable class of
farmers that ever came to the state
They are men of means, who will be
able to pay cash for their farms, will
bring good stock with them and wher-
ever they locate will in measure
transform the methods of farming that
have predominated in this state, and
in the entire Red River valley since the
development of the country first began
about twenty years ago. One of the
great reasons for the influx of farmers
from the southern states, or the states
of the middle west, is the fact that the
prejudice that has always existed
against North Dakota on account of
! the alleged rigor of the winters here,
is gradually waring away. For in
stance, taking the present winter as an
example, there has not been a solid
week of cold weather thus far. Dur
ing the cold snap that prevailed in
many Of the states farther south few
weeks ago there was more suffering
than there will be here in the entire
winter. During the month OF Decem-
ber, official reports were made that ~
deaths occurred In Indiana alone as a
result Of the cold. Such a record in
this state would considered appalling
There has not been single fatality
in this state this winter on account on
the cold. While the thermometer has
I been as low here as farther south, and
perhaps a trife lower. the dryness oil
the atmosphere makes the cold felt less
+ than where the air is laden with moist
ure such as prevails farther south.

 Altogether the prospect, of meeting an interse citing collection of men was alluring, and I wished to see them, not individually, but collectively; to see how such medley of humanity would appear when shut up in a railroad train together. To do this journeyed eastward to Rat Portage, on the Lake of the Woods, that l might ride back to Winnipeg on harvest excursion train.
 There were Ii coaches immigrant carson the train I caught at Rat Portage. Into that train was crowd ed more than 1000 men with lunch baskets, bags of baggage and not few bottles. A walk through the train was accomplished with considerable diff culty, but it repaid the effort. Books and papers were in demand. In one seat, into which five men were crowd ed, noticed one Bible, one wild west story. one weekly newspaper from a small town in Ontario, and one of the popular novels of the year. The three books and the newspaper told, in a way, the character of the four men reading them. The man with the Bible was a Church of England minis ter, clerically garbed. I asked him if he expected to go into the fields of the west, and he replied that he did.
 ssMy salary is small,'' he said. ssToo small to permit of vacation without work, only s2o per annum." He had been in Canada less than six months, coming originally from England, and had not yet gotten into the way of dollars and cents. q get vacation, but I cannot afford to play when play is expensive. I need the open air ex- ercise; my muscles are good, and why should not find place in the wheat fields?''
 Tn another car I found another min lister of much the same type, and go- ing west under the same circumstances and for the same purpose. He had gathered about him a number of the better element that the car contained, and was drawing for them a Biblical lesson from the story of Joseph and his translation of Pharoah's dream. In the other end of the same car a game of draw poker was holding the atten- tion of not only the players, but a number of on-lookers as well.
 The most ble crowd in another car were a dozen and more college boys, sturdy undergrads, who talked of football and cricket, smoked briar pipes and kept the whole car in good humor by singing rollicking songs and making jokes at the expense of each other.
 Say, Jack" said one, your ma won't know you when Farmer Jones gets through with you.'
 Did you bring your dress suit along Billie?' queried another. sThey tell me the farmers of Manitoba are so- cially inclined when work is oyer at nine o'clock in the evening. z
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-08-04

Every one of those Il cars was oc- cupied exclusively by men, save one. In the last car of the train I found two rosy-cheeked girls. Farmers daughters going west to join broth CT. who was making a home in Alberta territory. The orderliness of that car was a distinct tribute to womanhood In every other car bottles of liquor were much in evidence, pipes, cigars and cigarettes kept the air blue with smoke, card games were numerous, and profanity seemed the order of the day. In the last car not a bottle was in sight, not pipe, cigar or cigarette were lighted, not card game was in progress, not word of profanity was to be heard.
 They were pretty girls of the farm type, and were attracting the atten- tion of score of admirers One of them confided to me the fact that she had received five offers of marriage since leaving Toronto. s'But,'' she added, sswe are both engaged"
 The lack of snccess had not prevent ed the admirers from spending their money for the comfort of the young ladies. Practically the whole stock of the train boy had been laid at their feet, and the best that could be bought at the hotels and eating houses along the line were offered to tempt their unfailing appetites.
 In every car wereto be found a good ly sprinkling of farmers of all ages. Many of them were taking this way of seeing the western country with the object of settling there, if desirable locations could, be found. With them the conversations turned naturally to methods of agriculture. But they knew little or nothing of the agricul- tural methods of the west. Steam gang blows and steam harvesters were novelties to them, as were farms of

1,00O acres, on which wheat is the only crop. Many of them talked as though they expected to instill need ed reforms into western agricultural methods, but the first sight of the broad Manitoba fields convinced them there was a farming of which they knew but little.
 Winnipeg is the first destination of all the army of harvesters. There the government runs a great employment agency, under the direction of MT. Smith, the immigration commissioner At this agency the farmers of all the western country list their needs for help; they state the number of hands wanted, about the number of days of employment they can offer, the wages paid, and add any little Inducements that might prove attractive, such as ''good board, good beds in the house, free washing" etc. With the arrival of each harvest excursion train an army of clerks are prepared to give desired information and direct the harvesters to the different localities where work may be had. Each excur- sion train takes into the city cer- tain percentage of men who make the trip because of the low rate of fare and who are not really looking for employment, but the percentage is small, and inside of ten hours after the arrival of train the great ma ior- ity of the passengers are being dis tributed among the agricultural cen ters stretching from the, eastern boun- dary of Manitoba west to the Rocky mountains, and from the farms of northern Minnesota and the Dakotas north to Prince Albert and Edmonton. At each little town on the western prairies the arrival of the seasons | harvesters. is an event of considerable importance in the years history, and the entire neighborhood turns out to give them royal welcome.
