more than the apples so far received
because of the fact that they were
raised in the northern part of the
state. Two more large shipments have
been received from Col. Hankinson OF
Hankinson and placed on display. The
apples are at present the feature OF
the exhibit, not so much on account OF
the excellence Of the apples as on &C
count of the fact that they were rails
ed in a state which people had sup.
posed a barren spot where nothing
but a little wheat could be raised. No
day passes without several people
making special inquiry concerning the
apples and small fruits.

tically complete and North Dakota has
cause for congratulation on the out.

the o. X. of the superior jury, but that

."The Mouse river project is one Of
those in the construction Of which the
settlers have been asked to cooperate.
Water for irrigating the land under
this project must be pumped from the
river, and the cost Of construction and
maintenance will be large. whether
or not the project will be pushed fur.
ther will depend upon the owners
themselves. II.
Engineers of the reclamation service
have been investigating conditions
along the Little Missouri with a view
to the construction of irrigation works.
The indications are, however, that
whatever projects are planned will
involve the use of pumping stations,
with the consequent high cost. For
tunately Ignite can be had in abund-
ance, and this will serve to keep the
cost Of operation and maintenance at
minimum figure; but still the cost
will be considerably in excess of that
for operating plants in the more hilly
country
Mr.. Newell reports progress in the
engineering work in connection with
the Fort Buford project. There is
some doubt in the minds of the Off.
Gals Of the reclamation service as to
whether there is sufficient authority
for damming the Yellowstone, which
will be necessary to supply the reser.
voirs. Whether or not additional leg.
islation will be necessary will soon be
determined. Meantime negotiations
with the owners of the land to be irri-
gated are in progress, but the results,
so far as the large owners are con.
cerned, are not encouraging. Some
of the private owners hold as much as
thousand acres. The law says that
no one settler shall have more than
100 acres. 1t will be necessary, there.
fore, for each one of the large owners
to dispose of his surplus land, and
that is where the hitch is just now
While they don't say so in words,
these owners want to get as much as
they can for their lands, and they
would prefer to hold them until the
works are completed and then sell to
settlers at the government price, or in
excess of that if it can be had. The
large owners are holding off from
joining the water users association
such as is formed where irrigation
works are established, to facilitate
government control of the land until
the irrigation works are paid for. The
association has absolute control, and
through it al! sales are made during
the construction of the works and the
ten years in which the government is
being repaid for it's outlay.
1t is believed here that large own,
ers will see the desirability of having
the project completed and that they
will join in the partnership by sub.
scribing to the contract which the gov,
eminent has adopted.

NORTH DAKDIAhS DELAY IRHCAH0N|
Not Willing to Have Works Constructed for Which
They Will Have @ Pay Large Sums.

8vorable to the. ablishment Of irri-
cation projects. but they are not eager
to pay the price necessary for the in.
surance Of crops 4
This is the sum OF the investigations
of r. III. Newell, chief Of the irrigation
service. who recently made a brief
tour of that state. Mr.. Newell's re-
marks on the subject are interesting
in view Of the coming convention Of
the North Dakota Irrigation associa-
ton. He said: 4,
All Of the irrigation projects in
which the government would interest
itself would require pumping to put
the water on the land. This is the
most expensive form Of irrigation con-
struction, and when constructed It
costs more per acre to maintain the
works than the high level reservoir
system. We are now preparing esti-
mates of the cost of construction of

be established in North Dakota, but

thing definite will be known. can
say now, and have told the owners of
the land which would be included in
some of the proposed projects, that it
will cost from $50 to $50 an acre TO
build the works, and the annual cost
of maintenance will be anywhere from
81 to IS an acre.
but 1t will pay, undoubtedly. have
told the settlers that, but they have
not entered very heartily into, the
spirit of the thing. They are now
planting their sections Of land, $40
acres, in wheat, and are getting a fair
return for their investment. They are
apparently not willing to have irriga-
ton works constructed for which they
will have to pay larger sums. Nor
are they inclined to go into intensive
agriculture, which would be necessary
if they adopted irrigation and would
mean departure from their present
method. Where they now raise wheat
they would have to turn to dairying.
This would mean getting up early in
the morning for most of the year to
milk the COWS, where now the bulk of
their work is done in nine weeks Of
the summer. 1t was generally agreed
that irrigation and the new industry
would pay, but it was a case of Let

demonstrated in California, where the
works cost as much as S1OO an acre in

conditions are different on the coast,
but it would pay to establish these

eminent can't do anything unless the
settlers consent. They ares to be the
ultimate owners of the works and the
government is asking their consent
and agreement to pay for them, as
prospective partners. If they will join

roses, and the beauty of the place was
remarked upon by a great many of
the callers during the afternoon Dur

Waukegon, ILL.,, Oct. 8.-Dr. Howe,
prominent young man of Russell,
and Miss. Rutlege, a popular young
school teacher, were married and re-
turned home Saturday. A crowd Of
friends started to make things lively
that evening and had a full-fedged
charivari launched. Suddenly the
front door opened and the expectant
crowd did not see the head of the
house, but the better half. She did
not give them chance to get away,
but waded right into their midst with
an upper-cut for one, a bat on the
head for another, punch in the solar
pleXus and so on until she had put the
whole party to rout.

OF this bridge entered into with the Engineer

says the demand of Commissioner Best is grossly
