Jamestown. N. D., April 13.--The pre-
vention of prairie fires for several years
in this county is having noticeable effect
on the lands, both in crop and unbroken.
The ground IS moister and plOws easier
than when the grass has been burned
over. Then the sod is hard and it is dry
beneath the surface. The SHOWS do not
catch and remain on the surface, evenly
distributed, but blow off into coulees, and
leave the ground black, bare and hard.
With no fires to take the grass, all the
water from the usual heavy snowfall
melts and soaks into the soil. gradually
giving back moisture at the time when, 1t
is needed in the summer
Several farmers who have SOwed alfalfa
and that the plants stand the winter re-
markably we'll and that the grass is al
ready sprouted several inches at the top
of the ground. There is no reason why
the plant will not be a great success for
hay. B. w. Fuller Of Jamestown has a
fine alfalfa field near the city.
The county commissioners have bought
all the land in the courthouse block. and
after the houses and barns are cleared
away. the erection of sheriffs residence
and Jail, as part of the county property.
will be commenced.
City Attorney Thorpe holds that the
school board holds over for another year.
The city recently voted to change the sys-
tenn under which the schools are operating
school law and that law requires an cleo
ton for new trustees on the Goth. but the
opinion is that the time is too short for a
legal notice to be GIVEN after the election
on the 9Th inst. and so the new directors
will not be chosen until next year.
At the meeting of the state asylum
board Superintendent Moore was re-elect-
ed and all the old officers Of the institution
as we'll. Trustees Ingalls, of Jamestown
and Hackney of New Rockford, the new
members Of the board. took their seats
Plans for building large ward building
for female PATIENTS were approved.
1t is reported that branch of the Yerxa
& Co. grocery houses will be started here
and at Denhoff, on the Northern Pacific
extension.
At the last leasing of school land hay
permits in this county, the average of 81
a quarter for a fiveyear lease was OBJ
tanned. Some sold as high as So, and one
tract went for $43.
