Take Hold and Push.

Fargo Forum: The State Irrigation
Congress has been held. The object
in calling it was simply to arouse an
interest on this subject in the state
and to show those in authority that
North Dakota desired to have mon
ey obtained from the sale of govern
ment land in this state, used for the
benefit of the citizens of the state.
Tt is believed that there are very few
people in North Dakota who will not
consider that the expenditure of So
00C, 900 would sl.. benefit our com
monwealth, and that tangible results
would not be secured from the same.
The State Congress is yer and it
was an enthusiastic meeting of rep
resentative men in all lines of life in
this state. If Nortn Dakota desired
to, obtain these funds the necessary
work has just been commenced. Only
a few can realize the amount of pres
sure being brought to bear by the
states and territories Of the arid west,
looking to secure some portion of the
funds of this state to assist them in
the enterprises proposed in their own
domain. It will be necessary for the
state to continue this agitation, and
the state needs the active assistance
of every one in Norh Dakota. The
congressional delegation are more
than willing, and in fact are anxious
to do everything to bring results to
the state, and they need your help.
Write them at once, showing the ur
gent needs for the use Of these funds
in the state; keep this agitation up
in every way possible. Those living
in the west and northern parts of the
state where they have a chance to test
irrigation should at once take up en-
terprises on a small scale and do what
they can to show in a practical man.
ner what the effect will be Of a per
manent supply of water on the land
Intensified farming is needed from
one end of North Dakota to the 9th
err, and If this movement is started
with the energy that North Dakotans
usually exhibit the results will be ex
tremely beneficial to this common
wealth.

Thew ashburn mill has been run
ming overtime the past month to
keep up with the heavy demand
for -four and feed. The mill was
completely overhauled the past
summer, many new and expensive
improvements being added to the
company's property until now it is
one of the best in the state. 1t
now has a reputation that is second
to none in the state for the quality
Of the -four that is being made and
the extra rush of orders is proof
positive of the statement. The
mill is one Of the many industries
that we are proud of and one that
should have the support Of our cit
liens, and the way the orders are
coming in they are receiving a
share of the milling trade.
The brick industry is another
one of the industries that has found
a resting place here in Washburn
and during the summer months
gives employment to a number Of
men and means more money being
spent here. A good class of brick
was made the past year, and next
spring the yard will be enlarged,
giving employment to more men
and turning out more brick to meet
the large and increasing demand
for the same. Up to a year ago,
it was felt that it was impossible
to make brick that would stand the
test of time, but hard work and the
investment of money has proven
that as good a class of brick can be
made here as anywhere. The de-
mand for the finished product has
been good the past few months,
and the company has on hand a
kiln that has not been opened, be-
ing but recently burned. The yard
is under the management of fore
man Cross, an experienced brick
maker. This is another industry
that has found a home in Wash.
burn, and it means that many more
will eventually seek a place for the
investment of capital, and with a
little encouragement on the part Of
our citizens, Washburn will be.
come a place of many industries.

Looks Like Broken Pledee.

WASHINGTON, April 25.- Minister Conger at Picking has cabled to Secre- tary Hay a synopsis of the demands made upon China by Russia respecting control of Manchuria. This account agrees precisely with the full and ac- curate press report of Russia's last coup from the Chinese capital. Secre- tary Hay will take no action in the matter until he has communicated the facts to the president and has learned the latter's wishes. The present im- pression here is that the Russian ac- ton is distinct breach of faith with the United States. The Russian gov ernment pledged itself three times formally, and the documents are of record, that the 4open door, should be maintained in Manchuria and that the Russian troops would be withdrawn as soon as peace was restored.

POWERS TO PROTEST;
Great Britain, United States and Japan
 May Unite.

Great Britain, Un1ted States ana Japan
 May Unite.
 LONDON, April 25.-It is learned that there is in contemplation a forci- ble joint protest on the part of Great Britain, the United States and Japan against the Russian demands in the matter of the sovereignty of Manchu- ria.
 Sir Ernest Satow. British minister to China, in dispatch to the foreign of flee has confirmed the published synop- sis of the note addressed to China by M. Plancon, Russian charge d'affaires at Peking Further official advices re- garding the intentions of the Chinese government and explanations from St. Petersburg are awaited anxiously.
 In the meantime the British govern ment is not taking active measures, al- though Foreign Secretary Lansdowne intends to circulate pour parlours look ing to joint action from Washington, London and Tokyo provided further information sustains the present ab- stract of the Russian demands.
 The statement is authorized by the foreign office that if the Chinese gov ernment correctly represents Russia $ claims these claims constitute an abso- lute breach of all the undertakings given in connection with Manchuria and utterly abrogate the principles of the open door, territorial division and international conity to which the British government constantly and publicly has committed itself
 It is added that in these principles Great Britain always has acted in con- cert with the United States, and it is presumed that similar feelings exist at Washington. Nothing, however, is def nitely known, as. with the exception of the British minister to China, no Brit ish ambassador has yet reported
 It Is pointed out that Russia's expla- nation may throw a different light on her demands, although in official cir cles here there is frank expression of the belief that Russia has no intention of evacuating Manchuria and that she hopes after demanding the maximum to secure a compromise.
 Both on account of interna tional DO LAGAGA4 Ol TAIuS hOWd E approaching visit to Paris, where Rus sian sympathy is strong, the announce ments from Peking came like a bomb shell to London. It is discussed with considerable reserve. No attempt is made, however, even by the most care full students of far eastern conditions to underestimate the gravity of the sit uation.
