CATTLE SCAB
Easily Rlnhlci II Taken in Time.

dickinson, N. d., Dec. Ia, 1903.
To the Editor:
Ca;ftc stab has prevailed cas-, nf the
Missouri river for several years. This
summer it appeared north of the reser.
walton in Morton county. The Baker
Co. recently dipped all their cattle, en-
bracing several hundred head. Two
years ago | had a case Of scab in a bunch
Of cattle ear Hebron and the spread
was prevented and those afflicted cured
by the use Of crcolium and sulphur, and
the same cattle were shipped this year
and sold at S4.2o to $3.50. Though the
main portion of this herd were native
cattle; they were roped one by one and
snubbed, and the dip rubbed from horns
to butt of tail along the back bone and
down several inches on the sides with a
paint brush and rubbed in with a scrub.
bling brush. AS soon as rubbing COM
menced cattle stood comparatively quiet
for the application. The dip was pre-
pared by placing a quart of creolium in
a pail, t%hickening this to a paste with
sulphur, then filling the pail with boiling
water, making it 10 to ! or better and
very strong. A branding schultz is the
most convenient way to handle a bunch
and $40 worth of lumber, a few posts
and one-half days work will build one
with a good squeezer.
Any good sheep dip will be effective.
Creolium can be procured by dealers
from The Chemical Mfg. Co., Minneapo-
lis, Mimi, and retailed at sI.oo to 81 IS
per gallon. Five gallons with 50 pounds
of sulphur will answer for a herd of goo
head.
am no more afraid OF scab than !
am of lice on cattle, but dread its ap.
p%earance in a herd because it means
strenuous work.
urge all ranchmen to dope their
herds where they cannot dip them.
The practice TOY going on of chasing
stray scabby cattle from one neighbor's
herd to another should stop. A few
minutes work as above indicated will
cure the ailment in such a stray and pre-
vent the spread Of the ailment.

Sound irrigation Talk

The people of this state are not inter-
ested in any irrigation projects if the
money which rightfully belongs to North
Dakota, is to be expended in such arid
states as Montana, Arizona and Nevada.
Our interest in the subject arises from
the supposition that the rivers flowing
through our state are bearing to the sea
waters that can proftably utilized upon
our own lands. To read tho letters
written by the veracious correspondent
at Washington, mi would suppose that
this has been rel run by government
experts who have looked it all over, and
decided that there is no land here that
can be properly and economically irri-
gated by any of the rivers that we have.
1t is wonderful with what marvellous
expedition this has been dene. Major
Powell of the Geological survey, knew
something about this subjective always
thought, and in the speech he made to
the constitutional Convention in 90, had
an idea that a great deal could be done
with irrigation in North Dakota. AT his
suggestion section 2Io of the constitution
was inserted, reading as follows
"All flowing streams and natural water
courses, shall forever remain the proper
ty of the state for mining, irrigation and
manufacturing purposes" Such practi-
cal men as Donald Stevenson can point
out thousands Of acres of land that could
be irrigated from the swift and copious
Cannon Ball river. But with one fell
swoop the experts that have seen the
state through train windows, assert that
there is nothing practical here. One
often wonders whether a great many Of
these experts and inspectors are not
furnished with instructions before they
leave Washington conveying to them
orders as to what they must not find in
the state where they are making investi-
cations. One looses faith in their ex-
pertness or their honesty when they
assert that they have looked over the
entire field and find that irrigation works
here are impracticable.-Pioneer.

GRAFToN's new state building
for the feeble minded is complet-
ed and will be ready for the re-
ception of inmates on March 1.
The News and Times issued aspe-
cial illustrated edition last week
and gave much useful and inter-
esting history regarding the insti-
tuition. Many readers are not ia
miliar with the early history of
this institution and will read the
following with interest: "Under
Section IS of the enabling act, ad-
hitting us to statehood, the wing
to the penitentiary built at Sioux
Falls, costing 100000, vas granted
to the state of South Dakota, and
a like sum, for a like purpose, was
granted to the state of North Da-
kota.
By a subsequent act of congress,
the building was located at Graf
ton, and the secretary of the inte-
rior purchased forty acres of land
for a site and called for bids for
the building. In the meantime,
the people were under the impress
sion that it Vas to be a United
States penitentiary, but prior to
the 1893 session of the Legislature,
the fact became known that it was
to be a state %penitentiary, the
property of North Dakota, thus
practically throwing away thirty
thousand dollars for a building
for which the state had no use, a
penitentiary having already been
built at Bismarck that would serve
for generations. In Supt. Archi-
bald's report to the governor in
1892, he stated that there were I25
feeble minded children of teacha-
bic age in the state, and recon-
mended a separate building for
them. From that report Sena-
tor John l.. Cashel conceived
the idea of locating the insti-
tuition at Grafton and utilizing
the donation procured from the
federal government. under Sec
tion IS of the Enabling Act. and
at the session of 1898 he accord
ingly introduced an amendment
to the constitution. locating the
institution at Grafton"

MESSRS. SIMPSON AND Mc6llllVRAY
10 Have the New Land Office at Dickinsos

10 Have the New Land Office at Dickinson.
Washington Leader: On the first of
December, after four and a half years of
service as register of the United States
land Office at Bismarck, MIR. A. c. Nc.
Gillivray, of Dickinson, retired from
that position. MIR. MEG illiyray's inter-
ests at Dickinson, where he owns valu-
able property and near which place he
has a ranch covering a township and
stocked with hundreds of head of blood
ed cattle, made it difficult for him to re-
main in a position where he was kept so
far from his business and he did not
desire longer to fill the position which he
held during the four year term. At the
present time congress is considering a
bill providing for the division Of the
Bismarck land district and the creation
of a new district at Dickinson, where it
is understood that, in case the bill is
passed, Mr.. McGillivray will be the re-
ceiver and MIR. L. A. Simpson of Dickin-
son, the register. Thus the two rcpub.
lican war horses of the western part of
the state will be yoked together in a
strong team. MI. McGillivray is we'll
known to old timers in this section. He
got his early political training in Nc
Lean county, where he was a merchant
for some time, although he was on the
losing side of the Mclean battle, the
experience and valuable information
regarding politics he got in this county
has enabled him to remain on the top of
the heap in politics ever since. He has
a host of friends in the western part of
the state who will be glad to see him in
the new position. Mr.. Simpson has
also been prominent in politics, and is
a leading Republican of the western.part
of the state and his appointment will
be a deserving recognition of his work
in the republican ranks.

HoIbrook Jail Delivery.

Sheriff G. l. Houck, Of Holbrook,
was here Monday looking for a couple
of escaped prisoners. Their names are
VIM. O'Malley and J. T. Cahill. and
were held to the grand jury on the
charge Of stealing a case of jewelry
from a passenger on No. Q at Wins
low. In making their escape they
sawed off four bolts and cut a hole
through the brick wall. The Holbrook
jail is supposed to be the best and
strongest cage in Arizona, and the
prisoners must have been supplied
with tools by some one. The sheriff
left here last night, going east or a
freight train, and o~verhauled his men
at Gonzales. They were unarmed and
surrendered without any trouble, but
both are rated as bad men, and would
no doubt have put up a good fight had
they been prepared. The prisoners
are being held in the city lookup and
will be taken to Holbrook on the first
train going west.-Gallup Republican
