redistricting will mean an increased

E. B. GOSS
FOR JUDGE
The Bottineau Man Wins Out
in the Judicial Contest in
this District.

The republican judicial convention
held at Minot Tuesday evening for the
Eighth Judicial district resulted in
victory for E. B. Goss, who landed the
nomination for the district judgeship.
The convention was called to order
by E. B. Goss. A temporary organ
ization was effected by the election of
H. S. Blood as chairman and Bertel
Nelson of Flaxton. and J. A. Bird of
Balfour. as secretaries. This organ
ization was made permanent.
The report published by an unre-
liable paper in Bottineau county to
the effect that the re-organizers OF
Ward county were seated and that
Major Murphy and his friends had to
be co ntented with being spectators.
is misleading. There were no contests,
only one delegation from Ward county
asking for voice in the deliberations
of the convention.
Ward county stood solid for Attor
ney Blaisdell as first choice; some of
the delegaes from that county would
have taken up Judge Palda as second
choice.
McHenry county was present under
the unit rule, which meant Is votes
for A. M. Christianson, as the ma
iority of the delegates favored him.
HIS. Blood. who had received con-
siderable encouragement in his can
didacy for the judgeship, withdrew
from the race Monday evening, which
caused a solid ''signing up of the
Bottineau county delegation for Goss.
Bottineau and McHenry counties
signed an agreement to entertain the
candidacy of no candidate from either
Ward orWilliams counties, and as they
had majority of the votes they held
the key to the situation. 1t then be-
came matter of choice with Ward
county, as to which one of the candi-
dates from McHenry and Bottineau
counties it, would prefer. and Ward
concluded to cast her solid vote for
Goss, which settled the contest, no
other name being presented. Williams
county also went solid for Goss.
The new republican central COM
lnittee for the Eighth judicial district
is composed of one member from each
county and one at large. The member
at large. Attorney A. NJ. Christianson
of Towner, was chosen chairman.
The other members of the committee
are H. S. Blood, Bottineau; H. S.
Kline, McHenry Bertel Nelson, Ward.
and N. A. Stewart, Williams.
1t was agreed upon that in the event
of the election of Mr.. Goss, the cham
bers would remain at Minot.

A Race Between The
Crops and the Rust.

"Million dollar weather prevails
over the northwest and more of it is
expected. Neck and neck, the wheat
crop and the rust have been racing for
the supremacy. Sunday and Monday
the crop made tremendous forward
pull, out-stripping the rust and run
ming close to maturity in many of the
backward counties.
Black rust, having struck hard in
North Dakota, has been steadily NOV
ing on, covering new fields to the
north and west. Wheat in the milk
formation stage it strikes dead; that
full in the milk it checks where it
stands; wheat in the dough it stints
and shrivels, but cannot destroy, and
wheat in the hardening and ripening
stages it Injuries only slightly. Thous-
ands of acres of wheat late in seeding
and terminating and held back by the
unfavorable weather of June and July,
as yet untouched by the blight, stand
in the stage where black rust could
almost annihilate it, and other
thousands are still in the condition to
be injured. The lust is bearing down
upon this wheat, but faster-much
faster than the rust can spread-the
crop is forging ahead toward i'm
munity. Every hour, every minute,
of this weather is worth golden
dollars to the northwest.

Henry jacobson of Kenmare, one Of
the first settlers in the vicinity of
Kenmare, is stopping with John Ehr
and family here, while he is in town
serving on the jury.
jacobson has been out around Minot
looking over the grain, and says that
the most of the grain, especially in the
valley, is worth travelling good dis
tance to see John Ehr's wheat field
gives promise of fifty bushels to the
acre if the filling goes on satisfactorily
and the present indications are that it
will. Mr.. Ehr's seed was bought in
the spring from Henry jacobson. 1t
is Russian macaroni wheat which
yielded forty bushels pei acre last
year on Jacobson farm near Ken
mare. jacobson got his wheat two
years ago from the agricultural de-
partment at Washington. The gov
ernment imported said variety for
trial in several of the states. Mac
aroni wheat is distinctly hard wheat
raised in the black sea district. cap
able of withstanding drought, to such
an extent, that it is almost sure
crop when well rooted in the spring
jacobson is certain that macaroni
will be a great favorite in this
country. Its hardness together with
it's nutritious value will be established
in few years. Its productiveness
is also tested beyond a doubt. This
will be one factor greatly in its
favor. It's object is not to take the
place Of our common wheat, but to
add greatly to our reputation as a
worlds food market. -- M j n 0

people Of one of the prime necessa1ies
of life. The New York Journal of
Commerce in its crop column says: {:
"In view Of the sensational reports
that have ben current for more than a
month, the department statement
may be said to be much above ex-
pectation. This has compelled more
sensational reports brought up to
date, and coupled with prophecy Of
disaster for the weeks ahead, in order
to break the force of the government s
statistics.

The Scare In Wheat.

Boston Transcripts: The price of
flour naturally follows the price of
wheat, and upon -four we depend for
the staple of living, the staff of life.
The tendency Of that article is just
now steadily toward higher prices.
Wheat has passed the dollar marx.
This means much to eastern consumers
and indeed to consumers everywhere,
who derive no direct profit from these
soaring prices. If the farmers of the
west received the benefit of the up
ward movement or even their proper
tional share we might feel that large
and worthy class in the cou ntry were
making legitimate gains, even if at
the expense of the consuming public,
but we doubt whether this generally
happens. It seems to be hardly recog-
nized as the result in the wheat belt.
An Omaha paper says that disasters to
the wheat crop are rapidly maturing
in the Chicago board of trade. We
have heard great deal about rust,
but official reports from the depart
ment of agriculture, as of Aug. 1,
says it is too early to estimate the
damage due to that cause. But the
bears on the market gayly counter on
that report by declaring that most of
the damage occurred since the first Of
the month.
The acreage of wheat is not as large
as it was year ago, but the yield.
as estimated by the bureau Of stafis-
tics, Aug. 1. was only trife less per
acre for winte" wheat than year ago,
while spring wheat was 1914 better
than at the same date in 1903, and 6. 3
better than the ten year August aver
age. Moreover the state grain inspect
ors on the Pacific coast are reporting a
good average wheat crop, in some
places yield of fifty bushels to the
acre being claimed. 1t is a very
suspicious circumstance when the sem
sational stories about a phenomenally
! SNORT crop are not supported Dy gov
ernment statistics, and when the
"blight" is worked between reports
for more than it is worth, to lift the
price of this staple.
The highest price paid for wheat in
the Philadelphia market Tuesday was
! seven cents bushel above an export
price, and the higher glade of wheat
in New York was seventeen cents
above the same grade in European
markes, and it was said that ''the in
fluence of crop damage reports suggests
belief among spectators that this
country will consume it's entire wheat
production. The alleged belief Of
spectators is not satisfactory basis
for the adjustment of the cost to the

Wheat was worth $1.01 in West
hope on Saturday and indications point
to a continuance of a high price fol

Actual 3'Residence''
Defined by Officials

"The establishment Of residence, -
says Acting Secretary Ryan, for the
Interior department., in North Da-
kota case, the decision in which is
just made public, "cannot be proved
by showing merely that an entryman
has been on the land any given num-
Der of days or nights, and, in going
upon the tract of land, the act Of the
entryman must concur with the intent
to make it his permanent home, to
the exclusion of any home elsewhere.
The construction thus placed upon
the homestead law as to residence grew
out of the contest of A. L ALLEN of
the homestead Of F. A. Maley, for a
tract of land in the Devils Lake dis
trict, North Dakota. The defendant,
Maley. as shown by the evidence, had
built small, rough board shanty upon
the land, had slept there, at the time,
some three or four nights, had again
slept there. month or two after
wards, was there couple of days more
on the land, at the expiration Of six
months thereafter. He had never had
any article of furniture in the shanty
save a bench and ia BILE and had never
cooked a meal on the premises. On
the other hand, he had caused about
six or seven acres of the land to be
broken for him by another party, who
cultivated flax thereon, taking it in
payment for his labor.
What is residence in the contem-
plation of the homestead law, was
thus expounded by the acting secret
ary. mo residence can be established
in good faith, without the existence is
shown Of the intent to make it home
Under certain circumstances the pow
erty or sickness Of an entryman or his
inability to secure employment in the
vicinity of the tract entered by him
may excuse temporary absence there
from-provided residence thereon has
once been established even such
causes can rot be accepted as excuses
for failure to establish residence with
in the statutory period when such de-
fault is charged and proved by an
entering contestant -
The tract of land involved in the
case was the southwest quarter of Sec
tion 80. township 152, north, range TO-,
west, Devils Lake land district. In the
evidence filed in the case. it was shown
to be worth 81, 200 to 81. 5OO Besides
breaking and cultivating the land. the
defendant proved that he had sunk a
we'll on it.
