ROOSEVELT'S MAJORITY
~ in NORTH DAKOTA
President Roosevelt Has . Majority Of
More Than $1,000 ID the State Of
North Dakota. ~ 4. T.

Roosevelt received nearly three
times as great majority as Parkers
total vote in the state. 7s5
Ward county takes the banner for
size of republican majority, giving
Roosevelt a majority Of about 3,400.
Cass comes second with a majority OF
about 3,1O0. The republican banner
therefore passes from Cass to Ward.
Ward also cast the largest total
vote in the state, casting total OF
$500 votes to about 4,400 by Cass.
Richland gives Parker his greatest
total vote with Lis, Walsh following
with LILA. Mercer gives Parker his
smallest vote, II.
The total vote on president in the
several counties in the state is given
in the preceding table. The figures
ON Roosevelt and Parker are complete
from the official returns made to the
secretary of state. Two small coun-
ties are missing from the vote on the
other three candidates, but they will
| make little change in the total vote.
Several counties are still missing
from the returns on state officers, but
they will be received in a day or two.

sisted in a short talk to the teachers
on the teaching of elementary agricul-
ture by Prof. J. G. Mcdowell Of the
agricultural college which was fol-
lowed by a talk to the boys by Prof.

ested in farmers institute work the
interest and enthusiasm manifested by
these teachers, the boys and their par

inauguration Of this contest, Superin-
tendent Heller is entitled to great
credit for holding the first contest and
institute of its kind held in the state,
in addition to popularizing the move
ment of teaching agriculture.

PALEFACES ARE BAD MEDICINE

At an Indian gathering in South
Dakota, Yellow Owl spoke as follows:
"A paleface takes land; he finds
there many prairie dogs. He and the
dogs cannot agree on the same land
so he feeds them bad medicine He
tries to kill all the prairie dogs and
does kill many. The rest go into their
holes and remain there. They are
afraid to come out of their holes be-
cause of the paleface and his bad
medicine. And now we are all
grouped together on the reservations.
We are afraid to come out and speak
of our wrongs for fear of the bad
medicine Of the paleface."
At the campfire that evening Mrs.
Owl is reported to have addressed the

formed that the poultry exhibit and
annual meeting will be held on these
days and it is quite likely that the
Red River Valley potato growers asso-
citation and the macaroni wheat grow
ers' association will also hold their
annual meetings this week.
The railroads have granted a one
fare rate for the round trip from
points in North Dakota as far east as
Brainerd in Minnesota. Suggestions
as to program will be gladly received
and any farmer who will volunteer his
services to prepare ten-minute paper
on any of the topics to be presented
on the four days of this convention, is
urged to notify me at the earliest pos
sible moment in order that the pro-

are urged to plan their work so as to
attend this convention.

The Stock Nuisance.

1t seems that Bismarck is not the
only city that is having trouble with
the stock nuisance. Here is what the
Towner News and Stockman has to
say:
Numerous complaints are still in
the air regarding the rinning of stock
at large in the city Of Towner.
Who is to blame?
1t cannot be the city council, as
that honorable body has passed an
ordinance prohibiting such a nuisance.
Who is to blame?
1t cannot be the mayor, because he
has ordered the chief of police, or
pound master, to capture every critter
that makes it's appearance on the
streets or alleys of the city, and i'm
pound the same.
Who is to blame?
First-The owner who has no re-
gard for either law or neighbor,s
property. .s
Second-An officer who is indiffer-
emit or else afraid of offending some
body.
Third Former conditions which
they think should last always.
These are to blame. ~.
Will the city council be openly slap
ped in the face by a continuation Of
the violation of this ordinance?
We think not!" N .}s$

Grain Growers Meeting,

Editor Tribune: While it is quite
we'll known that the annual meeting
of the Tri-State Grain and Stock
Growers association will be held in
the Armory, Jan. II to 20, there are
number of items with reference to the
program in which the farmers of the
state are greatly interested.
AS voted at the last meeting, the
program and the publication Of the
proce edings is now in the hands of
the Farmers Institute Board of North
Dakota. Plans are being made to de-
vote one day to general farm crops,
one day to dairying, one day to live
stock and one day to horticulture. The
program for the horticulture day is
largely in the hands of the Horticul-
ture society and Prof. Waldron as
secretary is now at work on the de-
tails. The program for livestock
day will be prepared by the president
and secretary Of the LIVESTOCK asso-
citation. 1t is hardly necessary to
state that it will be good one as it
is planned to have some Of the best
stockmen in the state and adjoining
state present. For dairy day two or
three experts from adjoining states
will be present in addition to promi-
nent dairymen and buttermakers from
North Dakota. The program for the
day devoted to general farm crops
will, as heretofore, consist Of talks on
grains and grasses, seed selection, cul-
tivation methods, potato culture, etc,

the corner Of the cabin caught the
eyes and was Immediately
recognized by him.
The president looked lougingly at
his old Sharpe's rifle that hangs on
the wall, and that was carried by him
nearly all Of the time that he was in
the state. He stated that it was with
this rifle that he killed his first deer
in North Dakota. In response to
questions from Mrs. Roosevelt and
his daughter, Alice, the president re-
lated several incidents connected with
hunting trips that he had taken dur
ing his life in the state.
President Francis, of the Exposition
Company, jokingly asked the president
If it was fact that the logs which his
cabin was built of were purloined
from quantity of logs that had been
cut for other purposes. t'That's a
leading question:" laughingly an,
severed the president. Not to my
knowledge, however. You'll have to
ask Sylvane and Joe Ferris about that.
They we're my foremen and I gave
them instructions to build me cabin,
and they built it in short ORDER"
The fact that the interior of the
cabin does not contain single spot
where there is not some name signed
seemed to please the president very
much. He looked eagerly at the great
number Of signatures and called at.
tention to the great number.
The little room on the west end of
the cabin which was used by the
president as bedroom has been
mailed shut and used as a storeroom
for supplies connected with the North
Dakota exhibit. When the president
noticed the door to his bedroom he
made an effort to enter. Lieutenant
Governor Bartlett explained that il
was now used as a storeroom and
kept closed. ooh, want to see that,
exclaimed the president, and he i'm
mediately entered.
A great many members of the presi
dents party asked him questions
while he was at the cabin concerning
his life on the plains and incidents
connected with it. To all of the ques
tons the president related some in
tensely interesting incidents.
After spending fully fifteen minutes
in the cabin the president took a re
luctant leave and passed down thu
aisle. On his way to the door hi
passed the butter exAibit which hi
had made a request to see. When hi
spied the North Dakota section witt
the equestrian statue of himself mad.
Of butter he exclaimed to Mrs. Roose
welt, There it is in butter" !.
During the entire time he was a;
the North Dakota space he was jus
like school boy. He wore his fam
GUS smile all of the time and wa.
laughing most of the time. H,
seemed to be running over with joy
The exuberance and spirit of the mai
came out every minute of his visit.
The presidents visit to the cabil
has put aside all the doubts as to tn,
genuineness of the cabin. He recog
nized it Immediately and pointed GU
several familiar marks on the interio
! and on the logs on the outside.
