measures 3 feet ii inches around. It
IL the largest specimen OF the turnip

Will only be able to bring down a
small portion Of the crop raised in the
up-river country, through every effort
is being made to get as much Of the
grain down as possible
We have seen it stated that the
Missouri river was drying up and
that navigation would soon cease
Capt. Grant Marsh who has spent a
life time on the Missouri river, said
that in all his experince on the river,
he has never seen better stage of
water. The drying up cry is probably
raised by some one who does not
know anything regarding the stages
of water in the river. We will bank
on the experience of an old river pilot

of II 900 bushels of grain by boat on
river that is claimed to be fast disap.

ment. There is great area tributary to
the upper Missouri and the produes
tive quality of the soil is just as great
as anywhere in the United States, anG
the river affords these people greaS
natural highway for getting their pro.
duce to market, and money spent by
the government in assisting navigation
by the removing of says and other
distractions, would be money wisely
spent

Java, the land of the famous and
much exaggerated Death valley, has
many wonderful curiosities, the prin-
cipal one being the kali mujah, or
death plant. 1t grows only on the
sterile soils Of the volcanic regions of
Java and the adjoining islands and is
even there reckored as a curiosity on
account Of it's extreme scarcity. It

stems, well protected by stout thorns
nearly an inch in length. The ground
leaves are of delicate, satinlike
smoothness, heart shaped, emerald
green on one side and blood red,
streaked and veined with light buff, ON
the other.
The flowers of this death dealing
beauty are even more beautiful than
the plant itself, being very large and
cup shaped and of a color almost
deathly in it's whiteness. The name Of
the plant is from a characteristic Of
these splendid flowers, which, beauti-
full though they are, continually drip
with a deadly poison.
The poison, which IS distilled in the
bottom Of the cup shaped blossom. has
the sickening odor of chloroform in

full enough to overcome a full grown

such a pungent odor can properly be

face, especially the mouth and eyes,
into a horrid. crazy looking grin. Re
covery from the effects of inhaling this
odor is said to be very slow. ,s

IRRIGATION IN THE WEST.

Synopsis Of Address by Guy e. Mitch
ell, Secretary Of the National lrri-
cation Association, Washington, D.
c., Delivered at the Fl Paso Meet
Mig. -. %....-
The irrigation movement which is
sweeping over the country is pregnant
with vast possibilities for good in the
United States. Irrigation begets small
farms and no country is prosperous
so stable, as that which has for it's
basis a multitude Of small farms. @
Starting with the greatest bonanza
farms in the world, the west, declared
Mr.. Mitchell, will become in the next
gene, a:ion q region Of small farms.
with units Of 100 acres, 80 and even
40 acres to the family. .E
AS the magnificent results Of irri-
cation become more widely known
throughout the country, the practice
will invade the east, even to the At
lantic coast, until in time every water
supply from ocean to- ocean will be
utilized for irrigation, and with this
will come the subdivision Of hundreds
sof thousands OF farms into smaller
tracts more carefully titled and more
productive. 3ssSs 555
The question at present Of whether
the western public lands shall become
settled and farmed In small tracts. or
whether they shall continue to be OF
easy requirement in large tracts Is
one Of vital interest to the entire
alton. 3ss 81 81

Increase of ten millions over last year.

gagged for export; but although the
movement is unusual at this season,
it is of little consequence in view of
our large present holdings, our in
creasing production and arrivals at the
Pacific coast. These shipments are,
in reality, beneficial, reducing none
tary redundancy here and affording
strength where it is most needed.

Washburn Leader: There arrived
in Washburn from Mannhaven Thurs
day 1000 bushels of wheat and flax
bought down by boat in one day. This
marks another record for the river
traffic. The grain fleet arrived during
the day and by daylight the next morn
ing the boats started for Mannhaven
for another load of grain. It is hard
to realize the amount of work neces-
sary to handle this vast amount Of
river traffic which is brought to this
point daily. Three boats with barges
ply between here and up-river points.
The grain crops around Mannhaven
was the largest yield ever raised in
that section and the river is the great
natural highway for the people of that
section and will be for years to come,
and with the many Improvements at
this port in the way of handling grain
and freight, Washburn is destined to
develop a great river traffic and we
look forward to a greater record than
the present one.
1t will be hard for the people of the
cold and stormy east to realize that
away up in North Dakota, where the
blizzard is supposed to roam from the
first of September to the first of June,
that on the 18th day Of November,
1904, boats on the upper Missouri,
were still in commission, with a good

Causes Excitement at Glendale.
Glendale, N. D., Nov. 17.-Much
interest is taken in the visit here last
Friday night of James Hill Jr., Gen.
Manager Ward and the general freight
agent of the Great Northern railway.
About thirty business men waited
upon them in their private car and
the officers granted the request of the
citizens to move the depot of the Great
Northern to a more convenient point
in the city limits. The managing Of
ficers left here Saturday morning for
an automobile trip west to the Mis-
souri, and thence north to Minot, their
car returning to Wahpeton.
j. 1t is readily conjectured from all
that is cleaned that the line from
here will be extended west to the Mis-
souri, in the spring to make connec-
lions with the Minot-Sioux City lines
that the Great Northern is now build
ing along the Missouri river, being
finished now for eighty miles south Of
Minot. Il. "a IS. lsE IS
Ellendale is promised the head Of a
division and the line that has SO long
been legally patented to cross the Mis-.
souri, at Fort Yates and has been oper-
ated at q loss. soon will be one Of the
most important traffic lines Of the sys-
tenn.
The officers were highly pleased
with the development Of this section
of the state.

dam will suffice to flood about hun
dred acres of the tract when there is
a considerable rainfall by turning the
water fom its natural course upon
the land, part of which. was planted
last summer to corn and alfalfa, both
of which yielded good crops. : &
The pumping is done by means of
an engine which drives an endless
chain, carrying fiat wooden paddles
thirty by inches. These are driven
down on the chain through the water
and bring it up through channel of
the same size, as a piston works in
an engine cylinder. An upright scat
fold with wheels and sprockets fur
nishes a path for the, endless chain
and the fiat paddles lift the water and
carry it through the enclosed reser-
voir. Each paddle lifts two feet of
water when the pump is working in a
full stage of water. This succession
Of paddles or buckets brings up a
continual stream of water thirty
inches wide by six inches deep. This
stream of water will fill trough 300
feet long, thirty inches wide and 61s
inches deep in a minute. The pump
lifts Is barrels of water every minute
and Mr.. Green says he can place
water a foot deep over an acre of land
in 2k hours with the pumps working
to their capacity, or he can cover IS
acres to the depth of an inch in ten
hours. fila .,a...
One man, so Mr. Green says, can
operate the engine by which the water
Is pumped and can also attend to the
bitches and drains on the land. The
cost of the scaffold, sprocket chain
and buckets, with the carrying reser
voir was about 5000. The cost of the
engine will be about $3.50. The total
cost of putting water on 200 acres Of
land will be about IS an acre.
The engine with which the water is
to be pumped is a gasoline engine that
can be operated at a cost of about 81
a day for fuel at liberal estimate
Another, year large tract Of the land
WILDE broken up and sowed to corn
potatoes and alfalfa. This will give
a practical. demonstration of the in
creased crops that can be grown wi&t
irrigation, the cost of putting water or
the land and the profit that can be
shown on irrigated land!

Herald: A. North Dakota farmer
has worked out plan for the state to
engage in the hail insurance business,
the plan also requiring every farmer
in the state to carry such insurance.
The plan is outlined in a prepared
bill, which is now in the hands of
member Of the legislature, with the
request that it be introduced at the
forthcoming session of the legislature.
The bill provides that. the assessors
of each township in the state shall
make report of the number of acres
cropped by each land owner. The
assessors shall report to the boards of
county commissioners in their respect
i've counties, and it shall be the duty
Of such boards to levy a tax Of five
cents for each acre of crop. The
amount of tax thus levied is to be
a lien on the land described, collect
ed in the same manner as other taxes.
At the end Of each month the county
treasurer in each county shall make a
report to the state. treasurer, showing
the amount Of money collected under
the act, and toward such amount COL
llected to the state treasurer, who will
set such amounts, aside as hail in

/ The board of county commissioners
of each county shall act as adjusters,
receiving as compensation for such
work the sum of SO per day and 10
cents per mile for each mile necessar-
lily travelled while actually engaged in
adjusting loss.
The commissioners who make ad-
justments shall report to the clerk of
court of each county, who shall report
the same to the state auditor, who
shall issue his warrant, payable out of
the hail insurance fund created by
the tax of five cents per acre on all
growing crops. In no case shall an
adjustment exceed 81 per acre.
The gentleman who has worked out
the plan, fearing a claim of unconsti-
nationality, has suggested that it
might further be provided that grain
growers should have the option of
taking. out hail insurance with the
state, each assessor asking each man
assessed whether or not he desired
hail insurance, his reply to become a
part of his report to the county audi
tor, and in turn by him reported to the
state auditor.
With provision making it optional
with farmers in taking hail insur-
ance on such a plan, it is expected
that the measure will be approved by
a large number of the farmers of the
state.

Demonstrations OF approval occurred
