WANTS A CHANCE.

Page Record: Valley City Nor NAL
School has an enrolment of over 200
and has also over 100 in the model
school, the latter taking studies in
five grades. With the continual COM
plaint of lack OF room to accommo-
date the increasing number of pupils
in advanced studies, it is strange
that this kindergarten adjunct, which
is doing the work of the ordinary
public school, has not been discontin-
ued before. Why not require students
entering the normals to first gradu-
ate from high school and not over
crowd the normals with work that
can be done in any country school.
The question of improving and sup
porting the state Institution is not sc
m uch a matter of appropriation as il
is of a little common business sense
in conducting them. What is true
of the Valley City Normal will apply
as well to the university or any OF
the others; money, time and room
taken up by preparatory course.
Let the common and high schools dc
their full work and there will be nc
necessity for the higher intltutions
being crowded.

The Journal vas started about
two years ago. About two weeks ago
it secured a great deal of mention as
a result of the destruction of type

ants who entered the Office at night.
Previous to that time it had incurred
the enmitv of the blindpig element
of Kensal oy denouncing their illegal

Editor Dudley, the proprietor of

in the theory that it pays a newspap-
er to distribute saccharine matter
plentifully in it's columns.

Low PRICES FOR FLAX
FLAX REACHES LOWEST POINT
FOR SEVERAL
YEARS.
BELIEVED 1904 ACREAGE OF
FLAX WILL BE DE-
CREASED.

Minneapolis Journal: Ninety cents
was the quotation heard on change
this morning for No. fax. Ninety
cent fax, long ago predicted, has at
last been reached. About two
months ago fax was forced into the
nineties and much comment was
then occasioned for the reason that
fax had not been at any such low
figure for several years and had long
sold In the ncighborhood OF $3.50,
touching Sl.87 at one time. Wet
weather and comparatively light re-
ceipts warded of the 90c figure at
that time and up to ten days ago
No. seed was selling here at $l.Oll-2.
Then the market began to break at
the rate Of lc day and in ten days
II 1-2c came of.
Locally there is good demand for
flax as there is not much coming.
In Duluth the futures are being de-
pressed and as Minneapolis cash fol-
lows Duluth October flax very closely,
the decline is felt here.
Competent observers of conditions
are inclined to Believe that fax grow
ing in the northwest has received a
setback. Thornton of Duluth esti-
mates that of 1000, 600 acres seeded
last year in North Dakota, 1900, 900
acres were harvested with an average
yield of about six bushels. At prices
that have ruled, this fax crop is
netting North Dakota about $40, ,OOO,-
600, but with fax now around 9Oc
and No. northern wheat about S3c,
the difference is vastly in favor of
wheat as to net results.
Linseed oil men say the prospects
OF a return to the former extreme
high prices appear remote. Indus
trial recession is fe.t in the oil trade
about as quickly as in any line, and
as building and new work generally
slackens, less paint is used.
If the low prices for fax shall re-
suit in turning roltion of the
coarse grain acreage back to wheat
as is now thought may be the case,
Minneapolis millers will be pleased, ,as
the northwest has not produced any
too much wheat for several seasons
past.

the law of compensation, and claim
to have watched the way that North
Dakota weather has been in other

stormy summer is generally c)mpen-

short winter and this is what is due

AS~'
A. L. Van Osdei. pioneer settler
of Dakota, who has attained oonsid.
cradle political prominence in South
Dakota, is gamer to a great extent
by the freakishness of the Missouri
River in occasionally changing its
course. During the last few years
the river has, by changes in its chan
mel, added 200 acres of land to his
farm in Yankton county. The owner
has recently decided to plant the
accretion land to cotton wood trees,
and in a few years the land which
was contributed to him by the river
will furnish thousands Of cords OF
wood, which always command good
price.

A partial settlement with the
Northern Pacific road has been Sc
cured by the general committee Of
engineers. A new list of engineers
including men on the Minnesota
main line and the Wisconsin branches
will be issued soon. This will equalize
the ranking of the old engineers on
three divisions and the men trans
ferred to the new division, created
by dividing the N innesota main line
and the St. Paul terminals into two
operating divisions. The men will
be given new numbers, and the for
mer relative rank Of the old employees
and the younger engineers viii be
preserved. The men in the service
are promoted BY lumber.
The committee has under consid-
Grafton matters relating to conditions
Of employment, working rules and
wages, and how to secure readjust-
ment of the wage schedules over the
entire system.
Members of the committees state
that there IS little prospect of disa-
grcement with the management and
that Grand Master Stones presence
does not indicate that they have
been unable to- come to an agreement.
