STATE GETS GOOD SPACE.

Manager Bartlett Announces that the
State Has Been Awarded Space
That 10 Satisfactory.
Executive Manager Bartlett of the
state display at st. Louis says he has
heard that North Dakota has been al
lotted very satisfactory space in the
agricultural building at st. Louis 1922
x40 feet in the main aisle Of the build
ing. The space in the mines and min.
building had not yet been allotted,
but he has every reason to expect
an equally satisfactory assignment Of
space. Professor Waldron reports sat
isfactory progress in the preparation
of the grain exhibit, by number OF
young women at the agricultural COL
lege. When Mr.. Taylor, chief Of the
agricultural department, was here a
week or two ago, he particularly urg-
ed an attractive exhibit Of macaroni
wheat -four and the products which
are made from it, upwards Of dozen,
including bread and biscuits and ar
rangements have been perfected for
that so that fair visitors will be able
to eat their macaroni and cheese, etc.
made from North Dakota product
right on the ground and the cooking
will be exemplifted at the headquar-

In a statement Of interviews quoted
with prominent republicans at Wash

campaign next year, Senator Hans

"The time has arrived when the op-

Of less than $4,000. One bank was

Of North Dakota shall be used in
other states until it is shown they
cannot be expended in this state with
profit, claiming 1t would not pass. II
this money is to be used in the south
west, instead Of in the state from
which it Is accrued, 1t looks as though
the northwest was playing the part of
tail to the southwestern kite. It is
unlikely that North Dakota would OBJ
ject to the use Of this fund in other
states II 1t were conclusively shown
that it cannot be used in North Dako-
ia. But 1t has been conclusively
shown by private enterprise that irri-
CATION is practicable in North Dakota,
and further than this the census re-
ports show that the average cost Of
irrigation per acre in this state is less
than in almost any other state All
North Dakota asks is fair considera-
ton. But before the subject has
been carefully Investigated, it dislikes
the attitude of those in charge Of the
reclamation service who claim loftily
that the North Dakota delegation
might as well stay at home as appear
before the government irrigation Of
ficers. This is not such treatment as
the representa- tives of this state are
entitled to. It appears that the gov
ernment officials have made plans
calling for the expenditure Of the en-
tire irrigation fund without reference
to NORTH. Dakota at all, and their aim
now seems to be to prevent the use of
funds in this state, lest it interfere
with other plans.

department Of the interior. We are
now securing a vast amount of data
to show what car be done The Unit
ed States census, for instance, shows
that 1880 acres Of land have been ir-
rigated in North Dakota at q rate Of
$3.49 an acre, the lowest cost per acre
of any state in the west.
"Tke engineers Of the reclamation
department have been in our state
from early summer until fall, but they
have never arrived there early enough
in the spring to get any idea Of the
amount of water which could be saw
ed by the construction Of reservoirs.
They do not seem to realize what the
state really needs.
I'VE do not have to get all our wat
er by irrigation. All we want is a lit
tie to supplement the rain we get. Our
land Is only-semi-arid, and If we can
secure Just one-tenth of the water
needed IN the arid belt our crops
would soon become far above the av-
erage.
Irrigation in North Dakota means
much to the Twin Cities, for they will
get much ON the commerce which the
increased availability of our state
lands will make. The people Of North
Dakota are most enthusiastic over ir-
rigation. Our people are also gener-
ally in favor of saving the public
lands for the homemakers."

INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
During the month, there has been

One person visited the quarantined

The offender was strictly quarantined

On
COLOMBIA.
BY N. n. JEWELL.

The National Geographic magazine.
published by the National Geographic
Society of Washington, contains the
following interesting data regarding
Colombia and Panama:
The people Of Colombia are a mix
ture of races. At the time of the
Spanish conquest the population of
Colombia was estimated at eight mil
lion. Wholesale butcheries and en-
slavement in the mines reduced the
number in q few generations to less
than million. Most of the natives
were too helpless to resist, but some
retaliated and. in the AntioQuia dis
trict poisoned the salt springs so ef-
fectually that they remain poisoned
to Ibis day" The present Colombian
nationality is a fusion in varying pro-
portions of :he aborigines with the
whites from various parts of Spain.
including a considerable number of
baptized Jews. This Hebrew element
is quite noticeable, especially in the
province Of Antioquia, which is the
wealthiest and most prosperous of the
departments of Colombia There is
also considerable African element
in the population.
Colombia, exclusive of Panama. Is
as large as the two states of California
and Texas combined. Three high
mountain ranges cross the republic
from north to south, making high
table lands between, where the days
the year round are scarcely hotter
than those of temperate zone. On
the Bogota table land the glass oscil-
lates between 80 deg. and 78 deg.
Fahr, while the annual rainfall rarely
exceeds 45 inches In the lowlands Of
course, the tropical sun beats down
with an intensity that makes those
sections uninhabitable by the white
man.
Colombia has more than ten times
the population of Panama. The last
census was taken 80 years ago; but
an official estimate made in 1881 give
her about 3,6n0.0c0, not including the
people of Panama Colombia has no
army to speak of, no ships, no money,
only few miles of railway. AM hence
no means Of sending a good force
against Panama.
Bogota, the capital, is called the
Athens of South America, and has a
population of 125.O0o. The national
university is located in the city and
there is valuable library Of $4,000
volumes, an observatory, picture
gallery, and several learned i.stitu-
tiOns.
An intending visitor to Bogota is
landed at Barranquilla, at the mouth
of the Magdalena River; thence he
proceeds by steaToer up th" river for
1924 miles to Honda, then by rail %
miles to La Dorado, then by mules As
miles to Facatativa, and thence by
rail "a miles, when he finally reaches
the Colombia capital. It takes II
days to get from the coast to the
capital.
Colombia has great wealth lying un
touched on her plains and in her for.
ests and mountains.

THE MURPHY CASE

Mrs. orinnei One Of the Principal
witnesses for the Government.
In the trial of the case against Maj
or Murphy at Grand Forks, Mrs. jose
phine Grinnel, was one Of the prin-
cipal witnesses of the state. She told
of the death Of her husband, Grinnell,
in 1888, and then told Of the applica-
ton Of Major Murphy for . pension.
She detailed the incidents of her Sec
ond marriage and the divorce that
followed, and stated that Major Muir
ply had written to her after her d.
vcrce, asking her to come to MinOt
SO that he could secure her pension
for her. Her father had told her that
she was not entitled to q pension af-
ter ne" second marriage and she
claims to have paid no attention to
the letter. Major Murphy then sent
her a message through relatives and
she went to Minot, claiming to have
told Major Murphy then that her faith
er had contended that she was not en-
titled to q pension On account Of her
second marriage She claimed that
the major assured her that this made
no difference. She remained at Min.
ot nine months, employed as a domes-
tic in the home Of Major Murphy, and
during that time he secured for her
a pension.
The state has several more witness
es and it Is hardly expected now that
that case will reach the jury before
some time Saturday. The attorney for
Mr.. Murphy. 1t is claimed, will at
tempt to show that Major Murphy was
not guilty of a crime, owing to the
fact that he lad no personal knowl-
edge Of the marriage and subse-
quent divorce of Josephine Grinnel
