Mr.. John McMartin passed very
quietly and without a struggle or pain
from this life during the night of
Friday, Aug. 18th. He has been an
invalid and very feeble for several
years but still the angel of death came
so sudden and so quietly as to cause
surprise. The funeral was held Sun
day at 2 p. IN. and U. B. church was
not nearly large enough to accommo-
date the audience that gathered to
pay the last tribute of respect to their
old friend and neighbor for so many
years. Rev. Ross preached the funeral
sermon-a heart to heart talk-that
was full of sympathy and love. Mr..
McMartin was born at st. Andrews,
Province of Quebec, Canada, Sept. 20,
1897. He came to Wisconsin in lS49
and moved from there to Iowa in 1858
where he had resided up to the time
of his death.

Prosecutions Begun.

Pure Food Commissioner Ladd has
filed complaints against two merchants
of Grand Forks county, charging them
with selling %adulterated articles. l.
Stern, Of Larimore, is charged with
selling an imported French cherry

with selling Minnesota Favorite" cat.

ANALYSIS made of the two articles by
Professor Ladd. Complaints were made
against the merchants before Judge
Mclaughlin, of Grand Forks, and the
merchants will be given a hearing In
that court. A wholesale house hand.

of has ordered all Of this stock of the
market, and whatever fine is imposed

Montana where the grade of the riV-
err is greater than in North Dakota.
A preliminary survey has been made
showing that such diversion on the
north side of the river might possibly
be made to reach some Of the lands
along the stream. but would he very
expensive; a detailed survey must be
made to settle that fact.
While the Missouri may possibly
not be utilized by gravity, it is be-
lieved that some of its water can DE
employed advantageOusly by pumping.
There are throughout North Dakota
vast areas of impure coal, Or Ignite;
it may be possible to utilize this Zig
mite in the creation of cheap power
to be used III pumping the waters OF
the Missouri river on a large scale.
This matter Is under investigation,
preliminary work being begun during
the summer of 1902.
The total area irrigated in North
.anota in 1899 was 4,S72 acres, only
81 acres of which were reported as
being watered by mean Of wells. In
1889 there were irrigated in all only
445 acres. Settlement is rapidly in
creasing in the western or arid por-
| ton of the State. and there has been
a succession of years favorable to
agriculture, so that the new corners
are encouraged in their efforts. II,
however, these years should be ex-
ceptional as regards the mount OF
moisture available, there will result,
AS in Western Kansas and Nebraska,
great suffering and h%ardships from
the failure of crops. 1t will be remem-
bered that in these state a wave of
settlement advanced toward the west
during the period of unusual summer
rains, and %retreated. with great disas-
ter to individuals, following the return
to natural climatic conditions. Thus
it is in western North Dakota; while
at present the settlers, inexperienced
in irrigation. do not appreciate its ne
cessity, later there may be an urgent
demand for its speedy introduction.
The way in which this can be done
successfully is not at first obvious,
and will require very careful consid-
Grafton of methods and cost.

Pasture Going TO Waste.

Prof. Thomas Shaw calls attention
to the enormous amount OF excellent
pasture he saw going to waste while
passing through the country east OF
the Missouri in North Dakota recently.
While there are some portions OF the
range country sadly over ~pasturcd. 1t
is true that vast stretches of the most
valuable past Ire in the world is never
touched in both North and South Da-
kota. The reason for this seems to
be largely that most of this unused
pasture lies too ear settlements. or
scattered settlers, to make it available
for turning on large herds of cattle
without constant watching. We be-
lieve, however. with Prof. Shaw, that
farmers in the more thickly settled
sections just east of this land, could
do we'll to club together and take out
punches of cattle made up from the
small farm herds and pasture them
here from four to six months to good
advantage. 1t would not be necessary
for permanent yards or sheds to be
put up-a tent or small portable cabin
would do for the one in charge, and
a roomy portable wire net yard could
easily and cheaply be arranged for.
If the undertaking was sufficiently
large to warrant it, a covered wagon
would do for the herder and the not
necessarily expensive team to go with
it, could be utilized to 10Y the fence
when change of range required 1t, to
go after supplies, etc. Nor need these
cattle be loaded onto trains to get
them to and from these pastures. 1t
seems to us that we farmers and
stockmen are all too ready to load
things into cars in these modern
times. A hundred or so miles can
before the crops get too far advanced
be covered by young or thin stock
fully driven by one a little experienced
in handling stock, they need not fal
away in flesh, rather should gain, ant
the cost of driving them need MOI
much, if any, exceed that of herdins
the same length of time. Many o
these would doubtless be shipped di
rect from the range to the market
either as beef or feeders, but thos'
returning to the farms would find goo,
pasture all the way back, and passing
over long stretches of stubble field
would doubtless gain in flesh on tn
way. To be sure most of these land
are no longer free but a very nomina
amount in many parts would secur
the use of them for the season.
all pasture necessary could be secure
on n range, the portable wagon an
yards would enable the stock t
utilize a number of pieces to advan
tage both to themselves and tn
!, pasture.

NURTH DAKOTA MUST ASSERT
HERSELF.

The Fargo Call says that it was
not an advocate for an appropriation
for the St. Louis exposition in the
first place, but inasmuch as it was
made it now favors putting forth ev-
cry effort to make North Dakota's ex-
hibit a success. The Bismarck Trib-
une on the other hand did favor an
appropriation for the Worlds Fair but
it now opposes a display from this state
unless the management of the D O
ton a be prevailed upon to give
North Dakota more space than Gov
ernor Bartlett, of our commission, re-
ports has been allotted to us. It is
quite apparent that the Northwest is
being Disseminated against in the
matter of space and it requires but a
moments consideration to convince
the citizen of this state that a space
3Ox45 is entirely beneath the dignity
of this commonwealth. The St. Louis
exposition will be the most stupen-
dous display of the advancement Of
civilization and the of every
part of the world ever conceived by
a and North Dakota ought to be
properly represented. We have the
material and we have the inclination;
all that is now needed is to bring suf-
ficient pressure to bear on the man.
agement to grant us reasonable space
1t seems that originally we were alot-
ted 62x90, but now 1t is proposed tc
cut this down. While our %appropria-
ton is but $4,000 we are a part Of
the great Louisiana Purchase, the
wonderful development of which this
exposition is expected to especial!
typify and we must make a prope1
showing. We cannot do 1t in a space
of 3Ox45 feet. A combined effort mus
be made and our commission shoult
be backed by the energetic and dip
lomatic efforts OF our leading citizens
There can be no delay. Better tina
we remain away from the exposition
than accept the insignificant space
allotted.

SUGGESTS AN INDIAN COLLEGE
senator McCumber Introduces . Bill
For the Establishment Of an Indian
COLLEGE at Wahpeton.

For the Establishment Of an Indian
College at Wahpeton.
On Tuesday of last week Senator
McCumber introduced a bill in the
senate for the establishment of al
Indian agricultural college or school
at Wahpeton, North Dakota. The bill
carries with it an appropriation of
$780, 900 which is to be used as q
starter for the school, and the pur-
chasing of a suitable site. This is
practically the same bill that was in
troduced at the last session, but failed
to pass on account of the time of the
senate being taken up with the state
hood and Panama bills. Senator Nc
Cumber has had the assurance from
the leaders of both houses that the
bill would pass this year and is OF the
opinion that the money will become
available the first of July next. The
object of the school as stated by Mr..
McCumber is to furnish a school where
the boys of the various Indian tribes
in North and South Dakota, Montana,
Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa.
Minnesota and Wisconsin, may be
sent to receive an education and in
structed in the art of farming. In a
recent interview the senator stated
that experience has proven that the
Indian Is not adapted by nature to
business or mechanical pursuits. BY
nature he prefers an outdoor life AMI
