fatigue. make him an almost heroic
figure.
Unaccustomed to what he would
consider ordinary comforts. he does
not miss them: knowing nothing bet
ter. he is contented with his lot. Per-
haps il is his deeply religious nature
that enables him to bear so well the
hardships put upon him. He would
rather enter battle without food than
without the blessing of the regimental
priest. whose picturesque flowing
robe and long. uncombed hair are to
be met even on the firing line. Many
priests wear the St. George cross,
given only for gallantry under fire.

tions and the manual of arms. for

been noticeable that such infantry

RUSSIAN RoTTENNEss.

Time and association reveal more
clearly the inner rOttenness of Rus
sia. As Americans familiar with that
( government and its rulers, find cour-
age to give their testimony TO the
world. darker and darker becomes
the prospect for a firm and civilized
government ON the chaos of the Slav
empire.
The present form of government is
founded on principles inherently rot
ton at the core and is administered
in turn by tyrants and imbeciles.
Andrew d. White. former American
minister to Russia, has dared to give
To the world the most startling truths
concerning the utter weakness and
instability Of the empire and its rulers
in an article in November Century.
The one instance cited giving an
outline of Russia's treatment of Fin
land is sufficient to turn aside the
last lingering spark of sympathy for
the present imbecile czar. of this
subject DR.. White says:
Take Russia's dealings with Fin
land. The whole thing is monstrous.
1t is both comedy and tragedy.
Finland is by far the best develop
ed part of the empire; it stands on a
higher plane than do the other prov
inces, as regards every element of
civilization: it has steadily been the
most loyal of all the realms of the
c:zar, nihilism and anarchy never hav-
ing gained the slightest foothold
there; yet sundry bigots. both military
and ecclesiastical, have led the car
to violate his coronation oath with
Finland: TO make the simple presen-
tation of petition for re-
dress of grievances, treason. the
grievously wrong and grossly insult

DR.. White says: There is no chance
for really strong man to enforce his
ideas. One day he may be in the
ascendancy with the autocrat and the
next. through the duplicity and in
fluence of grand dukes, women,
priests or courtiers the very extreme
ly opposite ideas may become .domi-
nant"
OF the present czar it is said by
high authority to DIR. White: He
knows nothing of his empire or his
people He never goes out of his own
house If he can help it,"
This is the source of the blindly

RUST CAUSED By PARASITE.

Professor H. L. BolIey of the State
Agricultural College Tells Cause Of
Rust.
Various are the causes given as pro-
ducing rust in grain, which has done
untold damage to grain in the state
this year. Some have stated it to be
merely breaking of the plant fibre
due to heat and hot weather. Before
the Millers Association Of the state at
Fargo recently, Prof. H. l.. Bolley of
the state agricultural college gave
talk on rust and thus explained the
nature of the disease:
Rust on grain is caused by dis
tinct plant parasite. The parasitic
plant which causes rust is miscroscop
in size, and grows from spores, small
seed like structures. 1t is these which
form the pustules or rust spots, red,
brown or black, seen en- masse, on the
leaves, sheaths and stems of the grain.
which attack wheat, both of which pro-
d,rce first red spores, which make the
red spots, and later on produce the
black spores which turn those spots a
black color. There is thus no such
thing as red rust and black rust, but
rather the black rust is only an ad-
vanced stage of the red which pre-
cedes.
Red rust spores form first in count
less numbers and blow about in the
slightest breeze. If one falls upon a
wheat leaf or lodges against rough
place on q wheat stalk. 1t remains In
q resting condition until light rain
or slight dew furnishes fllm Of moist
ure upon the wheat, when it germi-
mates at once, sending out a small
thread or filament. This filament

ENGINEERS CONSIDER
RIVER IRRIGATION.

Government Engineers In the City to
Begin Upon an irrigation Reconnais-
ance Of the Missouri River.
Messrs. H. A. Storrs and P. M.
Churchill Of Denver, Colo, government
irrigation engineers attached to the
reclamation service are in the city to-
day for the purpose of making a pre-
liminary reconnaissance of the Missouri
river with reference to the feasibility
of irrigation by pumping Of water from
the river to the adjacent lands. They
are in consultation with President Will
liams of the state irrigation associa-
tion today, and this morning. in COM
pany with Messrs. Williams and Guy
E. Mitchell, secretary of the national
irrigation association, they visited the
local water works pumping plant and
reservoir, and the bottoms south of
town with view of getting better
idea of the means of pumping water
from the river and the lay of the land
They will make trip up the river
probably as far north as Williston and
then work down the river, observing
the nature of the river and the high
lands, and making a preliminary note
of lands that offer an opportunity for
irrigation. These may be more par
ticularly explored by surveying parties.
Messrs. Williams and Mitchell re-
turned last night from a trip up the
river to Expansion. Mr.. Mitchell is
enthusiastic over the irrigation posi-
btlities of the river and believes the
government engineers will find ample
opportunity for irrigation by pumping
from the waters of the river. He
noted many particularly fine river bot
toms where there are thousands Of
acres of land that he believes may be-
irrigated at slight expense.

for his health, Mr.. Roosevelt, then a
young man, became fascinated with
ranch life and the big game about
there, and with his characteristic
celebrity about all things, he bought the
Maltese Cross brand of cattle from
Sylvane and Joe Ferris, and retained
the brothers in his employ as assistant
managers.
THE first thing Theodore Roosevelt
did was to order a new log cabin built,
and Sylvane Ferris was put in charge
of the building. 1t was necessary to
hew a number of logs for the house,
and Sylvane and his gang started out
to do the work. In hunting for suit
able trees along the bank of the Little
Missouri, they Unexpectedly ran across
number of logs which had lodged in
| the Willows along the bank, a part of 4
| raft which had been floated down from
the headwaters of the stream by q
tie contractor, who was disposing Of
them to the Northern Pacific Railroad
1T was easier to take those logs
than it was to hew Others" remarked
Sylvane Ferris to me, land we fshed
enough of them out to build the cabin.
The logs were hauled to the site where
the house was to be, and in a short
time the work of building had been
completed. President Roosevelt NAV
have thought we worked pretty rapidly
to hew the logs in so short a time. but
if he had any suspicious he never COM
municated them. No one mentioned
the matter to him. because we all knew
the logs would have to be returned
and new ones 'hewed if he knew how
the material for his cabin had been
procured. We never struck a lick of
work on the logs in the Roosevelt
cabin now being exhibited at the
Worlds Fair but, as l said, the presi-
dent didn't know it,

PRIVATE IRRIGATION PLANT.

fishes a Lawn and Garden irrigation

e. A. Grain Of Emmons County Estab-
fishes Lawn and Garden irrigation
System.
Emmons County Record: Mr.. Grain
now has perfect irrigation system at
his pleasantly situated residence
grounds in the old town. A hole was
dug a short distance from Spring
Creek, which runs through his land.
Then an inch and half pipe was
driven from the bank of the creek to
the hole or we'll. the creek being
slightly damned to raise the water
above the intake end of the pipe At
the we'll a pump and vaneless wind
mill were placed, the pump being con-
nected with piping that reaches the
garden and lawn. With hose attach
ed to the pipe, all parts of the lawn
can be reached, and water to be dis
tributed through the garden by means
of bitches can be taken from the pipe
direct. A. L. Abel and Joe Fuller did
the work. From several years expert
ence with a garden irrigation plant,
the writer can prophesy that Mr.. and
Mrs. Grain will find that their plant
will we'll repay them for the outlay, as
they will be entirely independent of
rainfall in the matter of raising gar
den stuff and establishing lawn and
flower beds. Furthermore, the creek
waters are much better for irrigation
purposes than the water taken from
the average we'll, as the latter is too
cold for direct application and in many
wells there is too strong a trace of
alkali and other mineral salts, and,
after a while, too great a proportion
of these elements gets into the soil.
Two most capable carpenters re-
quired Immediately. Highest wages
will be- paid.
