Need to Get Busy.

The Northwestern Agriculturalist.
in short article about the irriga-
ton convention held at Bismarck a
few weeks ago, says, concerning the
work along the lines of irrigation that
is contemplated for the state Of North
Dakota: THE topography of the dry
belt of the state is such that an frri-
CATION plan can be carried along with
out great expenditure. The streams
and coulees can be damned suffi-
ciently to hold the annual rainfall, and
a system of bitches can be used that
will serve the purpose as well as
more elaborate plan. There is $1,000
900 in the United States treasury for
the state, and if North Dakotans do
not use it the funds will be diverted
to the states where greater activity
is being shown, and this state will be
compelled to wait for some years to
secure the advantage of an irrigation
system"

Northern Pacific west. The era of
railroad building has not ended, for
Bismarck is promised a road to Rug
by. Pierce county. to connect with the
Washburn line That line will also
be extended to Fort Stevenson anoth-
er year.
Bismarck is the natural center for
the traffic to all of these slope points.
That is proven in the large increase
in transient visitors who come here
to take branch line trains from various
points in Mclean or Emmons county
and down along the 500. When the
long distance telephone line is com
pleted from jamestown to Bismarck
the residents Of this city will have tel
ephone connection with all parts OF
the state.

Varilla. accompanied by Secretary of
State Hay, in the latters state car
riage, arrived at the White House
and were shown into the blue room
They were Joined almost immediate

Exchange of Addresses.
Secretary Hay formally presented
N. Bunau-Varilla to President Roose-
welt as the accredited minister of the
republic of Panama Minister Bunau-
Earilla, in presenting his credentials,
delivered a brief address to which the
president flttingly responded. The ex-
change Of addresses was impressive.
by reason of the circumstances, and
the addresses themselves are regard
ed as felicitous and patriotic Minis
ter Bunau- Varilla spoke as follows:
'Mr. President: In according to the
minister plenipotentiary of the repub-
lie of Panama the honor Of presenting
to you his letters of credence you ad.
NIT into the family of nations the

publics of the new world.

Grating it's right to exist. Mr.. Presi-
dent, you put an end to what appeared
to be the interminable controversy as
to the rival waterways and you defn-
itely inaugurate the era Of the
achievement of the Panama canal.
From this time forward the deter
mination of the fate of the canal de-
pends upon two elements alone. now
brought face to face, singularly unlike
as regards their authority and power,
but wholly equal in their common and
ardent desire to see at least the ac-
complishment of the heroic enterprise
for piercing the mOuntain-barrier OF
the Andes.
"The highway from Europe to Asia.
following the pathway OF the sun, is
now to be realized.
THE early attempts to find such a
way unexpectedly resulted in the
greatest of all historic achievements

les have since rolled by but the path
way sought has hitherto remained in
the realm of dreams. Today, Mr.
President. in response to your sum
mons. it becomes a reality"

GROWTH OF THE SLOPE.

Retrospect of the Improvements in
Transportation in the Past Few
Years-Long Wagon Journeys No
Longer Necessary to Reach Outly-
ing Points-TeIephone Connections
With Many Long Distance Points.
The telephone line from Linton to
Hazelton has been completed and an
other year the line will be extended
to Bismarck This will give direct
connections with the Emmons county
capital. Remarkable strides have been
made in the past few years on the
slope. as the building Of railroads and
telephone lines proves. Not many
years ago a trip to Washburn, Linton
or any of the intermediate points
meant a long and tiresome journey
by wagon. Telegraphic and telephone
communication were impossible and
the most rapid communication was by
Uncle Sans star routes. which ran
sometimes every day and some times
every other day When the Spicer
murderers were lynched at Williams
port few years ago, a mounted mes
senger rode post haste to Bismarck
to convey the news, and although the
lynching happened in the wee sma'
hours it was not until late the follow
ing afternoon that the news was re-
ceived in the city.
With the building of the Washburn
line several years ago the improve
ment in transportation routes began
Soon it was possible to make the trip
to Washburn and return by rail on
the same day Telephone communi-
cation with Bismarck was established
Then came the installation of fine
modern telephone system in Bismarck
its extension to Mandan, and finally
direct communication with Dickinson
which is in service now. The 500
followed the procession, and built w
from the southeast to Bismarck, and
now railroad communication is open
TO the southeastern part OF the state
Braddock, Wishek, Kuhn. Ashley
Oakes and Hankinson. Following this
came the building of the Northern
Pacific branch to Linton. which gives
he train service to all the better set

phonc line to Bismarck will connect

The president has deemed the sub
ject of sufficient Importance to con
vene an extraordinary session of con
gress in order that the convention
NAV become effective before the com
mencement of the harvest of the new
sugar crop in December.
This legislation will result in nc
harm to any American industry. Arti

the articles embraced in this conven
ton now imported from Cuba. re
ceive the very highest protection 20
any in the same schedule. The duty
on sugar was placed above the pro
tectve point for the purpose Of rev
enue. The house tariff bill provided
expressly for reduction in the in
terests of reciprocal trade agreement
which it authorized the president II
make. The duty on tobacco has TO
years been much higher than an.
necessity required on account OF th'
competition Of Cuban tobacco. Th'
reduction in this bill leaves it ampl
protected"
The report closes with an argdmen
setting forth the advantages to bot
this country and Cuba which will re
suit from reciprocal arrangement
provided in the legislation.
