EARL OF sucHAN's TRIBUTE.
Sent Washington Box from the WAL
lace Oak

lace Oak.
The New York Times published an
article in reference to the disposal of
the box made from the oak that shell
tered Sir William Wallace after the
battle at Falkirk. -Aand giving the let
ter OF presentation in which the Earl
of Buchan presented the box to Wash
ington. II seems that the Earl OF
Buchan, friend and patron of Robert
Burns, was so delighted with the
heroic part that Gen. Washington took
In the American War of independence
that he showed his appreciation in the
manner described.
The letter and box were intrusted
to the care of Mr. Robertson. a
Scottish artist. Robertson arrived in
New York in October, and in Decem-
Der went to Philadelphia to fulfill his
mission. This was in 1871.
On Friday, Dec. 10, of that year he
presented the box to the president.
He was much embarrassed he said,
ION being introduced to the American
hero. but was soon relieved by Wash.
ington. who entered irto familiar con
versation with him, and introduced
him to Mrs. Washington" The Earl
of Buchan expressed the wish that he
might have portrait Of Washington
and that Robertson might be the
artist Washington sat to Robertson
for the portrait in miniature, and
when that was finished the artist
painted larger picture from it in oil
for Lord Buchan
This picture was painted at the
close of May, 1892. when Washington
wrote to Lord Buchan thanking him
for the present of the box.
The box was taken to Mount Yer
non at the close of the session. where
II remained until Washington's death.

the following clause in his WILL

sions. It might be noted in passing
that the live insurance agants of Bis
marck published at their own ex-
pense the statements of their COM
panies on the fire. If the insurance
agents of Bathgate were as enter
prising, possibly the Pink Paper would
not be worried. 1t is not the province
of the insurance department to ad-
vertise the insurance companies as the
Pink Paper suggests. The department
endeavors by all proper means to
regulate the standard Of companies
that are permitted to do business in
North Dakota. 1t is safe to say that
no insurance department in the coun-
try has done better or more consist
ent work in this line than the North
Dakota department.

The Mayville Tribune says: Time
was when Trail county's delegation

fourth honors in size and Importance,
but the rapid growth Of the slope and
northwest part of the state has made
a vast difference in our relative
strength. There are now fifteen coun-
ties with a greater representation and
we are but one of the three counties
that have equal claims to sixteenth
to be brought into the production Of
us no more. Think of Ward county,

boy, with 81 to our 20 or nearly double
our representation!

The Devils Lake Inter-Ocean takes
occasion to deny the statement sent
out from there that there would be a
contest at the coming city election
between the conservatives and those
who favored wide open policy of city
government. 1t is unfortunate that
such a statement should have ema"
mated from that city, for the reason
that it's publication can do no good to
the city in question. The Inter- Ocean
says: "Only last Saturday Ave pig
gers were gathered in by Sheriff Rut-
tan upon warrants prepared by the
states attorney. Scarcely a term of
court passes that gamblers are not
brought forth to receive punishment.
Therefore, if an attempt should be
made to elect an administration favor
able to the "wide-open" policy, which
as matter OF. fact, is desired by no
one and could not be elected in any
event, is simply a waste of time. The
people of Devils Lake and Ramsey
county are for decency, law and order
and a strict and rigid enforcement OF
the law, and it is idiocy to suggest any
thing else. In the meantime, the ir.
responsible scandal monger is giving
Devils Lake some unwarranted and
undesirable advertising, which is re
scented by every loyal citizen of the
city"

The possibility of any portion of the
Orient ever Becoming a great wheat
producer, able to supply not only its
own neighboring districts, but to COM
plete with our own country, Russia,
Australia, Argentina, and India, in ex-
portation, seemed few years ago so
remote as not to deserve considerat-
ton, but the rapid growth of cultiva-
ton of this grain in the great Lioa
valley of Manchuria, district of g.
500 square miles of rich, level, well
drained, land, makes it not only pos
sible but probable that a new CON-
petitor is entering the field of the
grain business The entire valley is
about 1000 miles in length and is an
excellent wheat producing country,
having regular climate conditions and
a temperature about the same as in
the Dakotas; sowing season is in
April and harvesting in September
and October, with the rainy season
coming without fall in the growing
time. In addition to this large valley
there is also the valley Of the Sungari
In Manchuria, district larger than
that Of the Lao, but containing about
the same amount Of fertile land, as
well as the valley of the Amur and
Ussuri and the great plains of Mon
go1ia, total stretch Of country of
enormous proportions and almost sure
to be brought into the production of
wheat and -four. Consul Miller OF
Niuchwang has made a very thorough
investigation of the possibilities of the
country and is convinced that its de-
velopment will progress with great
rapidity. In Manchuria, by the early
part Of 1904, and within three years,
there. will be fourteen flour mills in
opration with combined capacity OF
5000 barrels day, and in the South
Ussuri district, near the Pacific
in the neighboring sections of Siberia
coast, there are twelve mills Of an an.
nual capacity of 433,344 barrels, while
several other mills are being con-
structed.
