Mr.. Watson pointed out that it was
three years after gold was discovered
in the Yukon territory that Great Bra-
ain made her first formal notification
that she would question the title OF
the United States to the heads of in
lets. The correspondence prior there
to referred to the actual demalkation
line on the ground, but no question as
to the accuracy OF the boundary
claimed by the United States. as uni
versally shown by the maps, had ever
previously been formally raised by
Great Britain.

Build Up the Home institution.

St Thomas Times: For some un-
accountable reason the graduates of
the ST Thomas high school who are
attending institutions of higher edu-
cation are not pursuing their work in
the University Of North Dakota. Dur
ing the past five years number of
our graduates entered colleges, but of
the number six have entered the Uni
versity of Minnesota. one MacAllister
college and but one the State univer-
sity. The Times believes this is a
mistake Our own institution is well
equipped both in the regular college
courses and in the technical branches.
North Dakota boys and girls can Sc
cure just as thorough, just as broad
and Just as good an education in the
North Dakota university as in any in
stitution in the land doing similar
work The Times hopes that in the fu-
ture the teachers, parents and other
forces in our city will aid in sending
our graduates to our own state insti-
tuition for their higher education.

Il have room wherein no one enters,
Save | myself alone;
There sits blessed memory on throne,
There my life centres"
Flickertail Flicker: Much interest
is manifested by people all over our
state in the present visit of the Mar
quise de Mores and her children to
Melora. a place made historical by
her dearly beloved husband.
Perhaps the most romantic and
heroic person in our states history
was the rash but brave young marquis
Against stupendous odds he spent a
vast fortune in attempting to establish
great packing industry west of the
Missouri on the Northern Pacific rail
way Instead of receiving the support
and encouragement of the people OF
the state, which he should have had
he was looked upon as an interloper
He was imposed upon and robbed by
other cattlemen and their cow punch
ers until finally in an attempt to pro
tect himself and his property ne killed
one of the offenders This made life in
our state impossible for him, so the
state lost one of the most enterprisins
men who had ever entered it.
We can not but admire the sweet
motive of his widow in once more re-
visiting the place hallowed by so many
endearing recollections or her depart
ed husband; her desire to revisit Me-
dora with her children, now grown
to the estate of man and woman, to
bring them directly in contact with
scenes of her early married life, can
not but instill into their young minds
and hearts reverence and love fol-
their dead father. and such delicate
compliment to that father could be
/ conceived only by such loyal wife
1 and true mother as the most admirable

LAUDER ARGUED HIS CASE.
Judge Lauder Argues Appeal in His
Own Libel Suit Before the Supreme

Court.
Grand Forks Herald: For probably
the first time in the history of the state
of North Dakota, judge of the district
court argued a case in the supreme
court of the state Yesterday
The case was that of William s
Lauder against Evan S Jones. and the
argument for the plaintiff respondent
was made by Judge Lauder or the
Fourth Judicial district, in his OWE be
half
The action was brought by Judge
Lauder to recover damages on a
charge of libel, and in the district
court, Judge Cowan presiding. a jury
brought in a verdict for the plaintiff
and fixed his damages at $1,000 From
this verdict an appeal was takea tc
the supreme court by the defendant
appellant, Evan S Jones
Owing to the prominence of the par
ties interested, the case has attracted
wide attention The alleged libel con
made and sworn to by Rev. Wendall
pastor of the Methodist church al
Lidgerwood.
In this affidavit the pastor set forth
the existence of blind pig establish
ments at Lidgerwood in buildings
owned by Ralph Maxwell. Through
the efforts of the pastor a blind pig
spotter was secured and evidence
against the places was secured. Search
warrants were secured and the affi-
davt further claims that Judge Lauder
declined to sign the warrants or paper
on the grounds that Deputy Sheriff
Jones was not responsible The after
noon of the day on which the judge
refused to sign the documents the
stock of the pigs was moved, the in
ference being that some one had in
formed the proprietors that search
warrants had been issued or asked
for In his affidavit the pastor admits
that he wrote several letters to Judge
Lauder and that he found later that
copies of these letters had been de-
livered to Ralph Maxwell. in whose
buildings the alleged pig establish
ments We're located The inference
was that Judge Lauder had kept Max
well posted.
The Objectionable affidavit further
set forth the charge that Maxwell paid
to Mr.. Divet, Judge LADDERS stenog
rapher, the sum of $500 for keeping
him posted Numerous other charges
were set forth in the affidavit. and in
his answer Judge Lauder denies the
truth of any of them which referred
to himself.
The case was tried during the win
ter. and the jury found a verdict fol

PORK in BusheI of Corn.

How many pounds of pork will one
bushel of corn make?
This question is often asked. and
often the answer is a guess or an APP
proXimate estimate.
l will answer this question now
from an experience to the %exactness
of a fraction of a pound and to the
exact penny.

buy corn. or else being so fortunate
as to have hogs to buy corn for, on

corn. / also weighed the same day
81 shotes, which weighed 1910 pounds
The shotes had been fed but little
corn and some slop. of milk and dish
water from the house, but had the
run of a good blue grass pasture. AT
the end of % days l fed the last of
the 100 bushels to these 81 shotes,
this being the only grain they had
between the two dates.

day, between the morning and even
ing feed, | weighed them again, and
they weighed 4.s70 pounds, a gain OF
1860 pounds, o. 1876 pounds of hogs

N ON THE FARM.
A Few Figures Showing What Ag-
ricuIture Amounts to In h
United states.

Agriculture continues to be the par-
amount industry of the United States.
We read of strikes affecting 100000
miners, or 200, 900 laborers in textile
factories, or $4,000 or more railway
employees, and we wonder at the ex-
tent of these figures There are more
people engaged in farming than in all
other gainful industries combined,
and more than one-third as many as
are engaged in all other occupations
Over half the American people reside
| on farms, and these farms have a to-
tai value of nearly ST, 00o, 000, 900, ex-
elusive of farming implements and live
stock. which, if included, would add
S., 1000, 900. 900 more. According to the
latest census report the fixed capital
of agriculture amounts to $4,000
00o, 900. or four times as much as in
vested in manufactures of every kind.
The annual value of farm products
reaches nearly SIS, 600, 0o0, 900. Let us
see some of the items which make up
this grand total: Corn, $S2S. 000, 600;
hay. S4S4. 00o, 900; wheat, 1870, 900, 900;
oats, s217. 900 900; cotton, 1924, 900, 900;
animals sold and slaughtered, $780,
600, 900. Those who are inclined o
sneer at farmers and farming don't
know a big thing when they see it.
Agriculture is the life of the nation,
and anything government, state or
national, can do for its promotion is
of the nature of self preservation.
Our legislators should look into this
matter and accumulate some infor-
nation to guide them in their acts
when measures affecting the interests
of agriculture come before them.
There are chumps everywhere. You
will find them on farms doing but
little good to themselves or their
country. Like the poor. they are al
ways with us. These are but barnacles
on the hull of the ship that impedes
its progress. But the real farmer. he
who farms his farm and is proud of it,
and of his ability to make it do his
bidding, is the best specimen of
American manhood. He can Justly
feel an independence unknown to men
in any other calling. He fears no
strike and submits to no lockout. He
has no boss to placate, for he knows
none. His employment is sure. and
he can work IL hours a day if he
wants to, without the fear of a walk
ing delegate; or he can refrain from
work if he so desires. The business
be is engaged in is the greatest On

HERE AND THERE.

Absolute cleanliness in the dairy
is a large problem. but every dairy
man should try his best to attain it.
"A good way to fight boil weevils
is to destroy them with hogs. This
can be done by raising hogs and let
ting the weevils starve.
The German emperor has advised
German farmers to take lessons in
scientific farming from American
farmers, and then they will need NO
government aid.
One of the most frequent causes
of lameness and sweeney in horses is
bad shoeing. Any blacksmith can nail
on a shoe, but very few of them can
nail one right.
There is an affinity between the
hog and the earth that should not be
ignoreds Floors are all ught to feed
on, but hogs confined on floors are
in an unnatural position and viii not
do well. Floors are especially repug-
nanf to brood sows, both before and
after narrowing.
