lmported Meetlno.


An important meeting of cattlemen
was held at Dickinson for the purpose
of taking action against the importa-
tion of cattle afflicted with scabies.
DR.. IIickok of Salt Lake City. spe-
cial federal agent for the bureau Of
animal industry, DIR. Van Els, state
veterinarian, and many district veter-
inarians were present.
DIR. Hickok has asked for fifteen
federal inspectors to come into North
Dakota to look after the dipping of
affected cattle. The government will
also be asked to change it's ruling in
respect to scabby cattle. SO as not to
allow the shipment of any cattle
which are not entitled to clean bill
of health. This will compel every
owner to see that his cattle are clean.
The cases of scabies now in the state
are directly traceablc to Eastern
states and growers are compelled to
take up the work of it's eradication in
most thorough manner.
May start Suits.
Another effort will be made May
10 by the state railway commission
to enforce the maximum coal rate.
The railroads have so far fatty re-
fused to comply with the law and
ignore the repeated demands of the
commission. The commissioners i'm
sist that the law is not as drastic as
in other states and it is intilnatcd
that if the railways persist in their
refusal to comply actions will he be-
gun in the courts.

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS
The Raoioa Red.

-s-t, The Raging RED.
The war department has started
more trouble for itself by Directing
to the Red River of the North being
declared n0n-naviga BILE above Fargo.
4 quarter of a century ago Fargo was
a port, and boats, piled between here
and Winnipeg and intermediate
points. As the country became more
thickly settled, the tributary streams
to the Red river dried up and the wa
ter became too low for navigation. In
the last fifteen. years nothing larger
than canoe has come up the river
nearer than fifty miles of Fargo.
All the municipal. railway and 9TH
er bridges must still he constructed
with a draw attachment. at great eN-
pcnse. and the citizens endeavored to
have the stream declared unfit for
navigation. so bridges could Ike more
chcaply constructed. The war depart
ment objected because of the fact
that the stream might some time be
converted into canal and used for
the transmission of war supplies it
there was Il war with Canada making
Fargo base.
This has started the bee i'm Fargo's
bonnet. and Il movement is on foot to
have the department make good by
granting Fargo a military post.
Up to the Druggists.
That formaldehyde solutions for the
treatment of wheat for prevention of
smut do not lose strength by cvapora-
ton. but increases, is Il discovery by
Professor II. L.. Bolley of the North
Dakota Agricultural college. The
method of treating wheat is general
planned of it's lack of success because
of the poor grade of formaldehydc
sold by druggists. The latter assert
ed that the farmers were to blame. as
they permitted the solution to stand
too long before treating all their
wheat and the strength evaporated.
A series of tests by Professor Rolley
demonstrated that the strength is in
creased by evaporation and the drug
gists will have to fall back OH some
thing else for an excuse. Large guam
titles of the formaldehyde are far
below the 40 per cent grade supposed
to be'used.
The state pharmacy board Is call
ing attention to the fact that formal
dehytle is Il poison, and as such only
druggists are permitted to sell it.
This gives the druggists monopoly
and leaves the farmers at their mercy.
=. Blind Pigs. VIM
A general clean up of illegal liquor
traffic in the county was i'm progress
at Wahpcton. The city was raitled
with great success by process issued
from the Office of the attorney gem
cl1l.
Another surprise was sprung when
the attorney general had papers serv-
ell on q. +. Moody, the sheriff of this
county, to remove him from Office
on the charge of shielding offenders
of the law and for general lack Of
enforcement of the law. The COM
plant alleges that there are forty
blind pigs in the county to the knowl-
edge. of the sheriff and that he ac-
cepted money from them for protec-
ton. Another allegation is that the
sheriff himself was Interested with
others in running blind pig in Wah-
peton.
An application has been made to
suspend him from office during the
pending of the action. This will he
heard in ten days.

EFINITE.

The solemn clans in West river smiled yesterday when they heard of the decision that a lift bridge must, within one year, replace the present structure over West river on Kimberly avenue. They smiled because there have been so many antics about that bridge that they have got into the habit of smiling when there is anything especial ly definite and final said or done. This time perhaps they have blundered in smiling, because the decision made by Judge Thayer appears to be really de- cided and deciding. It says that nov able bridge must be built, and it further says: Unless. therefore, the city of New Haven and the town of Orange, parties to this proceeding, shall on or before the 18th day of the present month of March, 1904, agree and undertake to construct within one year from this date a lift bridge in said Kimberly ave- nue across West river, or main branch of said West river, with draw or open ing having a clear width of at least 45 feet, at any stage of the water, measur- ed perpendicularly to the current. and notice of such agreement and undertak- ing shall be filed with the clerk of this court on or before said day, this court will appoint a suitable person to con- struct such bridge at the expense of said towns, pursuant to the provisions of the statute under which this proceed ing is brought"
 That reads like business. and if the long-drawn out squabble is really about to end we congratulate those who want to see it end. Nothing has. we believe, exceeded it in length and talk since the old State House matter

The plan to authorize the Philippine government to issue five per cent. bonds not exceeding ten million dollars in amount for purposes of island improve ment is interesting and probably nec- essary. Up to the present time all pub lie improvements out there such as schoolhouses, roads. bridges, docks and breakwaters, have been paid for out of current income. But this income is now falling off rapidly, the loss for Jan uary alone having been two hundred thousand dollars. and it is clear that money must be obtained in some other way if the efforts to supply the islands with the necessary facilities for civil ized commercial life are not to be aban- doned, or at least greatly hampered- Of railroad construction in particular there is urgent need, not merely for the promotion of commercial progress, but for the firmer establishment of peace and order as well, and the impos- sibility of making railroads pay in the first years of their operation forbids the hope that they will be built without government help.
 Philippine bonds will be an attractive addition to the investment list, and in the end there will probably be more than ten millions of them.

spring-rhis spr,ng.

The blazing crocus soon will bloom At least we think it will Unless the weather takes a turn And checks it with a chill. The bluebirds soon will sing their songs At least they want to, though The chances are they'll be delayed
 By dilatory snow. The brown earth soon will turn to green Warmed by the springs soft light, Unless a snOwstorm comes along To paint the whole thing white. The laughing brooks will babble soon By field and forest if An April blizzard doesn't come
 And freeze their waters stin'. The breath of spring will soon exhale From earth and sky and air; At least, it ought to, though perhaps The frost will ni3 it there. Come, come, Ethereal Mildness, come, With all your harbingers, But don't you come unless you bring Your heavy wraps and furs.
