LOOKS LIKE JAMES.
He May be a Delegate at Large
From Kentucky.

1t is generally believed that the
Gibraltar of Kentucky Democracy,
the First congressional district,
will be allowed to name one of the
four delegates at large from this
state to the national Democratic
convention at st Louis. 1t is gem
orally conceded that Senators Nc
Creary and Blackburn will be two
of the delegates, and Gov Beck
ham is often mentioned for the
third place. Sentiment appears to
be in favor of comforting the fourth
place on man from one of t h Q
thirteen counties composing this
congressional district. Thus far
three names have been mentioned
frequently In connection with the
place-Congressman Ollie James,
of Marion; ex.Congressman Chas.

Mr.. James is willing. it is said, to
be one of the delegates at large.
A boom for him was started by
the First district committee when
it met at Paduoah in March, and
now the movement is receiving q

Washington says:

, Minot, seat of Ward county, is one
OF the most prosperous cities in tho
west. The past two years have wit
messed q remarkable growth in Minot,
and this year has been record
breaker. More elegant residences have
been constructed in Minot this year
than in any three years preceding.
Thus far in the season over eighty resi-
dences have been built, and enough
others are building or are planned to
make the number over one hundred.
The business development has been even
more remarkable.
This hustling young giant is already
the third city in the state. Most of its
growth has come since 1900. When the
empire about it is settled and devel-
oped it will become one Of the foremost
cities of the great plains Of the west
+ -Four years ago Minot had common
school with six or seven departments in
operation, with teachers with little or
no professional training. Today it has
one Of the best-equipped high schools
in the state, with a corps of fifteen in
structors, each of whom is professional
ly trained and selected for the especial
character of the work he is to do This
change has been brought about with
the binding swiftness of enchantment,
and it is doubtful if any county in any
state in the union can duplicate this
accomplishment.

WARD COUNTY AND ITS DEVELOPMENT;
-:: SPLENDID OPPORTUNITIES FOR POOR MEN

Ward county, North Dakota, is gen
orally called the "empire' county, be.
cause it occupies one-twelfth the area
Of the state. Excellent water can be
found anywhere in the county at IL
depth Of from twelve to fifteen feet,
and fuel abounds in every section. Lig-
mite coal, Of which there is an album
dance, is tributary to Minot, and is
shipped extensively thru the state, and
there are few farmers or ranchers who
are not located close to coal vein and
can get their winter supply very cheap
at the mines, and many of the farmers
dig it. out of the ground and haul it TO
their homes.
The eastern half of the county is gen
orally level, while the western half is
much more rugged ard more suitable
for diversified or mixed farming and
ranching, altho there are many fine
farms and an abundance of farming
lands in the western part.
Ward county is the largest county in
North Dakota, and is larger in area
than Rhode Island, Delaware and the
District of Columbia combined, and con-
tains $500 square miles. The Fort
Berthold Indian reservation lies in the
southeast corner and is not counted in
the area of the county. 49,.

An Interview with Grettum.
G. A. Grettum of Fargo, well-known
ago this state was one vast expanse
! of prairie grass, the home of the buffalo
and Indian. When you come to this
state you should bear this in mind. !
ILLINOIS was better settled in l948,
Iowa in 1856, Wisconsin in 1850, and
Minnesota in 1850, than North Dakota
was in 1879-twenty-fv years ago.
| "In the early days of our state, peo-
pie of the east considered it as the
and the land of the blizzard, but it Is
now rightfully considered as one Of the
most prosperous of the states.'' =.
Mr.. Grettum has resided in North
Dakota for twenty-five years. Speak
ing of land values, he insists that they
must advance, and says: "The popu-
lation Of the United States is increas.

Stock raising in the western part of

Stock raising in the western part Of
the state has been from the first the
important industry. The first to engage
in breeding cattle in this section were
men who were connected with the va
rious military posts along the Missouri
river at Fort Buford, at Fort Lincoln
and other points, in the seventies. The
character of the land and the sight Of
countless buffalo which roamed over the
prairie doubtless convinced them of the
superiority of that section as a stock
growing country.
Do not be preiudiced by any talk you
may have heard about North Dakota
blizzards and the length and severity of
North Dakota winters. The fact is
that those who come to North Dakota
from states further south universally
admit that they suffer less from cold than
in their former homes. The winter is
cold but clear, the air dry and bracing,
and billiards. are very rare indeed, oc-
curing only at intervals of three or
four years, and even then they are no
worse than storms in the eastern states.

ty-fve acres to each animal.
Professor Waldron also makes the
statement that of the 5000 or more spe-

eighty are natives. States having
more varied vegetable conditions. like
that Of New York, have much greater
number Of species, but no state contains
