tied debate was called out on the final

OFFICIAL ADVISER.

North Dakotans Ask a United States
Senate Employe to Help Out.
Maj. ]. G. Hamilton of Grand Forks
was the recipient of token of appre-
citation by the house in a recent SEES
sion in the shape of resolution re-
questing him to remain during the
session in the capacity of advisor to
the speaker, the members Of the legis-
lature and the clerical force in matters
pertaining to the clerical work of the
house.
Hamilton is one of the attaches of
the United States senate, and that
body will probably grant him leave
of absence during the session of the
North Dakota Legislature. He is a
former chief clerk of the house and
well informed on all matters pertain
Ing to house work. During the last
campaign he was executive secretary
of the Republican state committee,
and he put in some good work for the
cause.

NO DEAD CATTLE.

Ranchmen Complained Before They
Were Hurt.
Riders from all portions Of the range
country bring reports which would in
dictate that with the heavy snowfall In
December the stockmen were some OF
them yelling before they were hurt.
The recent chinook wind materially
reduced the amount of snow and this
now followed by the thawing weather
which has prevailed for the past week
has opened up a large part Of the
range country which was covered,
leaving only small territory south OF
this city which is not now In excellent
shape, while in that section the tops
of the hills and the high places on the
prairie are open to grazing.
No dead cattle are reported and ev-
erything is in fair shape. II the pres
ent weather continues everything will
come through in good shape, and even
with more snow therewill be no mate
rial loss until spring, as February and
March are the months which tell the
tale of losses.

The authorities at Washington are
trying to untangle a skein in connec-

which seems to be badly twisted. Last
spring Henry Meyer, a well~to-do Ger
man farmer living near Dresden, Penn
oina county, N. D., sent transportation

WE from their home in Hamburg,
Germany, to Dresden, N. ID. The cou-
pie started and arrived at Quebec
ABOUT the middle of August. On the
way over the brothers wife fell and
injured her knee. At Quebec she was
treated for about month In the gen.
eral hospital.
While they were there there was
some question as to the propriety of
allowing them to proceed, but after a
good deal of solicitation and explana-
.on by the resident American consul

cScinc railway by way OF Winnipeg.

A ThIrteen-Year-old Boy at Miller
Threatens TO Shoot His Teacher.
Jay Pussey, thirteen-year-old boy
in the public school at Miller, was ar
rested for carrying revolver with the
intent of shooting the teacher, Mr..
Sheldon.
Sheldon is the principal Of the East
ward school. He had to call the little
chap above referred to down one day
recently for misconduct. Jay secured
a revolver somewhere and told Ole Of
the other boys that II Sheldon tackled
him again he would shoot him. Fur
thermore, the boy said II he told on
him he would also shoot him. The
boy went home and told his mother,
and the mother went at once and told
the teacher. The teacher compelled
Jay to give up the gun. Later the boy
was put in the care OF the sheriff.
There is talk of sending him to the
reform schol.

The third day Of the convention was
busy andinterestingone. The chief
event Of interest was the action over
the proposed Dakota and Wisconsin
grain inspection. The resolution com.
mittee presented a strong Endorsement
OF the plan, but there was objection to
the proposition fer the appointment of
a committee to visit Wisconsin, and
the MATES was referred back. Later
1t was brought up and adopted with
out the junketing features.
The discussions were interesting and
somewhat surprising, as the plan was
rather strenuously opposed by some
farmers who were supposedly for the
scheme, and strongly sanctioned by G.
S. Barnes. 4 well-known grain commits
sion man. Mr.. Crumpton of the Supe-
rior board of trade outlined the prop
ositicn and won over some Of the OPP
position. There we're evidences that
friends of the Minnesota inspection
had been active. The more conserva-
tive grain growers are immensely
pleased with the action of the North
Dakota legislature on the new inspec-
ton and did not wish to do more than
lend the Endorsement of this conven-
ton to the movement.
The committee on the proposed
transfer of the North Dakota state
fair from Mandan to Fargo made an
enthusiastic report favoring the plan.
Liberal appropriations were urged by
the legislature, to be made available
when the citizens of Fargo would raise
a $4,000 fund for the purchase Of
proper location.
President ]. Johnson of Fargo, Vice
President Hoverstad of Crookston and
Secretary Worst of Fargo were hon.
ored by unanimous reelection.
The special committee appointed 20

ment station mad an extended report,
praising most things with the excep.
ton of the grades OF cattle there,
which were not though to be up to the
standard, and the lack of room for
the accommodation of the numerous
students was deplored The legisla.
ture was asked to be more liberal in
appropriations and the governor was
requested to make the most of his APP
pointments on the board Of trustees
actual farmers. The general resolu-
tions recommended a more liberal ap-
preparation for farmers Institutes to
be held over the state, placing the sum
at $1,000.
There were large number Of inter.
esting papers read before the conven-
ton and new features were introduced
in an exchange which was established
for the benefit of many farmers who
wished to exchange grain, seeds of va
rious kinds, and stock.
The concluding session was as inter.
esting end well attended as any of the
convention.
Among the incidents OF the morning
session was the adoption of a resolu-
ton indorsing the bill of Representa-
tive Leech of Fargo to make a state
appropriation for the North Dakota
poultry show. Mira Bertha Laws Of
Appleton, Mimi, spoke In the morning
and was followed by Prof. Bolley of
the agricultural college, Farmer James

Plan to Run Railway Trains Intact
 Frcm London to Paris.
 The French and English railroad companies are now jointly considering a scheme for cross channel ferry boats to carry the London and Paris trains intact, so a traveller entering sleeper at Charing Cross station in London or the Care du Nord in Paris will not be disturbed until he reaches his destina- ton, says 8 London dispatch to the New York World.
 The new boats will be 300 feet long and from thirty to fifty feet broad, ac- commodating train of sixteen coaches on two parallel sets of rails between the upper and lower decks. The trains will be raised or lowered at Dover and Calais on electric elevators.
 No fear is entertained of the unsea- worthiness of loaded ferryboats. In deed, they are expected to be far stead fer than ordinary packets. The scheme will save ninety minutes in the Paris London journey.

involve the entire orient. Japan is not afraid of Russia. Our soldiers had a taste of the Russians in the maFch to Picking from Tientsin. Russia thought she would be smart then and sent her troops forward to Picking two dave in advance of the other troops.
 "She wanted to take Pekfng herself. What was the result7 Her soldiers were defeated by the Chinese, and they had to fall back for protection on the Japanese. the Americans and the Eng fish. Your General Chaffee knows all about it. He also knows all about the barbarittes perpetrated on the Chinese by the Russians and some of the other nations. The Chinese learned to trust the Japanese then, and they haven't forgotten. When the Japanese troops go to China they will be well received, and they can get all the rice they want. The Russians can't live on rice like the Japanese soldiers"
 'But Russia has been preparing for this conflict as well as Japan?r
 'eYes. We know all about her prep arations. You can't. tell the ordinary Japanese from Chinaman If they are dressed alike. Japan has had spies as worlxnen all over Manchuria for eight years--in the mines, in the cities, on the railroad, the railroad which it has taken Russia over ten years to build and which is very little good at best.
 "The Japanese are a peace loving people, always have been. We are a nation of workers, of artisans. But this constant encroaching of Russia has kept Japan in a ferment for moro than ten years. She comes nearer and nearer all the time, and unless she is stopped she will swallow us up, as she has swallowed everybody else"
 You think she wants the earth?"
 Tt looks that way. The United States thinks Russia is a good friend of hers, but if she conquered Japan you would find out what she was. She would probably be looking for trouble with the United States then"
 "Do you think any other nations would be drawn into this war7''
 Well, France has interests in the east and she is friend of Russia, but England is with Japan. Germany also has interests, but can't say what she would do. Of course the Japanese never could take St. Petersburg any more than the Russians could take Tokyo, so unless there is some inter ference the war might drag out a long time.
 Tn these days don't think that it is possible where other countries have SC many interests. The United States has interests over there also. But the point is Russia can't be trusted. Her word is no good She doesn't keep her treaties and somebody has got to check her She has been seizing islands, I under. stand, all around Korea, along the eastern coast especially"
 Then you think war is inevitableY'
 'It looks that way to me, but o1 course don't know what the Japanese l government may decide. The people are anxious for 1t They feel that theil national life will depend on it, and l there isn't Japanese but is ready tc | give up at least half he's got to the | government if war is declared"

HOW to Plnnt NFautIatoa

Considering that we have really an enormous number of apple trees in this country, it is curious that it should be found necessary to go to Normandy for the great crates of mistletoe This par asitic plant is not a good thing to en- courage on trees, for, like all parasites.
 it is very injurious, but if 1t is wanted 1t is not difficult to grow. By lifting the bark from the wood of an apple tree branch and inserting the seed where the birds cannot get at 1t it may be induced to grow; only, as the male and female blossoms are produced as separate plants, failure is very proba- bic unless a good many are planted. Of course care must be taken to get berries that have not been roasted by g fortnight, exnoallre ta tue heat Of gas
