Soldiers May Attend Inauguration.

According to Gen. w. H Haynes, commander of the Arkansas state
 guard, there is a possibility that a portion of the Arkansas militia will go to Washington March next and take part in the inauguration of President Roosevelt. He says: Tt is possible that an entire regiment can be taken to Washington, although it may be that only one or two bat talions can be taken. In the latter case, of course, the best drilled. best officerai and best equipped compa- nies would be chosen. Preceding the selection of the companies an inspec- tion would be every company should begin to get in shape for the trip to the national capital, where they will necessarily have to show up with the best troops in the country. Arkansas need have no fears in this regard. however, since the Arkansas company carried off the honors at St. Louis. .

MONEY IN CANALS
Irrigation of Montana Desert
Lands Sends Prices Up.

1.-THE value of irrigation to the So
called desert lands of the West has
been well illustrated by sale of real
estate at Bozeman," said F. M. Good
win, OF Baltimore, a special agent OF
the United States land Office, located at
Helena, Monts who was in st. Paul
yesterday.
"In the Gallatin valley in Montana
irrigation has been applied to much of
the land originally supposed to be
worthless. There last week I saw an
efghty-acre tract sold in the partition
of an estate for $40 an acre. The land
was originally government land and
was entered under the desert land
laws. Water had been introduced to it
by an irrigation canal, and the land is
easily worth the money paid for it.
''The general government is planning
big things for Montana in the way Of
the development of the irrigation
scheme for the West, and thousands of
acres of lands now considered prac-
tically worthless will be reclaimed and
made as valuable as the lands in the
Gallatin valley, where fancy prices now
prevail"

CHEAP BEEF DOES
NOT BOTHER DAKOTA
Capt. j. w. Baker Says Texas
and Southwest Are the
Sufferers.

'sThe low prices prevailing for beef
cattle have not begun to hurt the
North Dakota stock raising industry,
as they have the grazing country in
Texas and the Southwest" said Capt.
j. w. Baker, of Bismarck, manager of
the Cannon Ball Creek Cattle Company
of North Dakota, who is a business
visitor in st. Paul
Suppose that tbs average beef ami
NAL has deprecated SIS per head. North
Dakota has only about 100000 head of
cattle, and the loss by depreciation will
amount to $4,000, 900. Texas, with
100000 of beef cattle, is hurt i'm
measureably more than our state. The
low prices are not a bad thing for a
man wishing to start in the industry.
He can now buy at a figure that will
let him into the business on the ground
floor, and as the low prices cannot con-
tinue indefinitely he will reap a hand
some profit in the end.
THE state of North Dakota was
| never in better shape than now. There
has been a big immigration, real es-
tate values have risen immensely in
the past few years, and the losses of
cattle and sheep in the past winter
have not been nearly so large as has
been generally supposed. Cattle losses
have been less than per cent and
sheep losses not much more than 1 per
cent. In some instances men who had
apparently taken every precaution to
save their animals from the rigors of
winter were the heaviest losers.
Lost All His Sheep.
"One man built last fall a big sheep
barn and went to bed one night with a
sense of absolute security. His thou
sand sheep were thought to be safely
housed, but lower board on the shed
had been removed to give the sheep
air. A blizzard came up in the night
and the snow blew in through the
aperture. The sheep on the wind
ward side of the building edged away
from the snow and crowded the others
into corner until the entire thousand
sheep persisted from the snow. cold
and lack of air. This was an isolated
case, however, and losses to the stock
industry last winter in our state were
not at all large"
Capt. Baker is a prominent Democrat
and said that the North Dakota Demo-
cratic delegate convention will not be
held until June 81. 1t is so late that
the factions in the party are making
no effort to secure the delegation of
nine for the st. Louis convention, as it
is generally conceded that the contest
for the presidential nomination will be
practically settled by that time. He
said North Dakota would send dele
cation that would cast it's vote for the
best interests of the party at large.

JUEB CHARGES TWO
WITH DECEIVING HIM
Complains That Defendants Had No
Title to Property Sold Him.

Herman Jueb began a civil suit yes
terdax in the district court against
Anastasius Golata and Theodore Ga
jewski. in which he asserts that Co.
lata and Gajewski entered into a con-
spiracy TO deceive and mislead him
and obtain money from him in a real
estate transaction by false representa-
lions.
He says in his complaint that he
made contract with Golata for the
purchase of a certain piece of prop
erty for $75S.S7, and paid $275 Of the
purchase price in cash, giving his notes
for the remainder. He asserts that
when he purchased the property Ga
Jewski gave him certain notes for a
half interest in It,
Mr.. Jueb says that he has since dis
covered that the defendants had nc
title to the property, or right to sell it.
and that the entire transaction was
for the purpose of deceiving him. He
asks that the notes he signed be all
Cancelled and that he be given judg-
ment for the amount he paid Golata In

BOOM IN BUILDING
Record for April Shows Bio
Increase in Permits.

Comparison Of the records In the Of
ice of the building. inspector shows
that in the month of April this year
there were 203 permits issued author
lzlng work amounting in the aggre-
gate to $441,080; and in the same pc
Rod of last year there were 1877 per
mits issued for work amounting to
$4S5,0S4. Although these figures indi-
cate a discrepancy Of $4,000 for the
April permits of this year, as compared
with last, that may be accounted
for in the fact that there were several
unusually large permits issued in April,
1903 among them that for the Foley
Bros. building. The number of per-
mits issued in April this year was
much larger than for the same month
last year, and the most expensive
among them was that issued yesterdty
for finishing the work on the new
armory which will amount to $4,000.
