We are not afraid of the light.
The fabric our fathers builded will

the right to anticipate work not less

IRRIGATION In NORTH DAKOTA

H. A. Hoadley, who is doing the state
in the interest of the National Irriga-
ton Congress at Ell Paso, says: in
North Dakota there has already been
appropriated 81 200, 200 to be used in
the construction of works involved in
the Fort Buford proposition. A seventy
mile canal will convey water from the
Yellowstone river to where it is needed
in the irrigating of some 20, 900 acres
Instead of being limited field for ex-
tensive irrigation as certain interests
would have us believe North Dakota is
rapidly disclosing possibilities which are,
both in magnitude and cheapness of con-
struction, possessed by no other state in
the arid regions. The broad terraces
lining the Little Missouri on either side
north from Pretty Butte, await only the
irrigator to convert them into veritable
hanging gardens of fruitful productive
ness. The Heart river is another stream
affording the most excellent possibilities
for irrigation. Hundreds of thousands
of acres lie on either side of the Mis-
souri, between Fort Berthold and the
junction of the Little Knife river with
the Missouri. South of Bismarck, Apple
creek presents good possibilities Wher-
ever there is coal and water in North
Dakota irrigation is sure to come. Con-
trary to common belief, pumping is
highly practicable and carried on with

HOLD UP ARTIST KILLED.
Disastrous Result Of an Effort to Hold
Up Boys in a Freight Car.

Up Boys in a Freight Car.
A hold up artist was killed on a
freight at Valley City. Robert Kranz,
a 10 year old boy from Pittsburg,
Penn, and six other boys were in a
car. They boarded the train at
jamestown to ride east. Near Ezekiel
son three men climbed into the car to
hold up the boys. One man kept
striking matches so the other two
could not see their victims. Kranz
sprang on him with a knife and stab.
bed the match striker to death. He
and five of the boys with him are
held there pending an investigation
One Of their party and the other two
hold up fellows escaped. The people
feel that the hold up man got what
he deserved and are inclined to en-
thuse over the excellent work OF
Kranz and his knife.
The coroner's inquest was a verdict
that the killing was justified. The
dead mans name is unknown.

ing what to do in this particular case
is about as follows: Select the very
best piece of wheat which you have
raised, thresh when it is dry; store it
dry, grade out all of the small and
shriveled grain in farming mill. Sell
the screening and keep the plumpest
stuff for seed next year. If you know
that your neighbor has much better
seed grain than you have it may be a
wise plan to buy some of his best for
seed. Shriveled wheat which is due
to immaturity whether caused by rust
or because cut too soon always germi-
mates quite freely if it has been kept
dry and not allowed to heat. 1t is
not necessary that a sample of wheat
be thoroughly smooth and plump as
to it's individual kernels in order that
a large crop may be grown from it
but it is quite necessary that the indi,
vidual grain should be reasonably
heavy, so as to insure a good first
growth in the spring.

PROGRESS OF THE
CAPITOL BUILDING
Interior Work On the Old House Chamber
Nearly Completed and Addition Walls
Roof High.

The work of repairing and re-
modelling the interior of the old house
chamber at the state capitol has been
nearly completed by Contractor Rhud.
Those who remember the old room
and have not since seen it, would
hardly recognize it now, so greatly
has it been changed, since the begin
ming of the work. The new rooms are
intended for the state law library and
the Judges and employees of the SUI
preme court, and it will supply them
with more comfortable and commodi.
GUS quarters than they have enjoyed
since statehood. The interior of the
room is largely devoted to space for
the state law library The quarters
are so commodious that there will be
better opportunity for distributing the
many volumes in the library that they
may be more easily accessible AT
the ends and west side of the chamber
are apartments and Offices finished of

enced in this war General Kondrat-
zvitchs division bore the brunt and
suffered most. Bayonet charges sue
ceeded each other in rapid succession.
while the artillery duel never ceased
for moment.
Today's dispatches indicate that the
tide of battle around Liaoyang has
turned appreciably in favor of the
japanese. With tremendous and sus-
tanned assaults on his right and center
and threatened in his rear by heavy
force which has crossed the Taitse
river, Kuropatkin has been forced to
fall back from his position.
He changed his line of battle to a
fortified position he had established in
the town of Liaoyang and its immedi-
ate environs. Russian official ad
vices say General Kuroki, who was re-
ported as moving northward an the
Russian left has thrown pontoons over
the Taitse river and has crossed with
one division while others are follow
ing.
Kuroki's object is obviously to inter-
pose his force between Liaoyang and
the Russian base, and the north move
ment, which. if successful, would cut
Kuropatkin's rear and command the
railroad leading from Liaoyang to
Mukden.

The question as to what shall be
done for seed next year will however,
be a serious one to many of the farm
ers of the state. 1t is hardly probable
that any farmer has failed to raise
seed of such quality that reasonable
crop may be expected from it, provid-
ed it is cared for and properly prepar-
ed for seeding. This article is written
to call the attention of those farmers
who have badly rusted grain to the
fact that any slight injury of seed
grain such as shrinking, whether due
to being cut too green, to rust or to
frost, results as weak termination
and first growth. If bad weather pre-
walls Immediately following seeding
time, such weak shriveled seed grain
will be sure to give poor crop. Rust
does not propagate by way Of the seed
grain. There is thus no method of
treating the seed grain which will pre-
vent the occurrence of rust in the
crop. Because the seed which one
sows was grown upon a rusted crop
is also no sign that rust will follow
its use. One need have slight fear Of
rust from this cause but it is certain
that there may be great loss to the
farmers of the state in the crop Of
1905 If they do not make special pro-
vision just at this time to procure
proper seed. Experiments made here
at the experiment station show that it
is bad plan for farmers to continue
exchanging seed grain or to buy from
distant regions. This statement, of
course, only holds true in case "A

mature and strong. It is bad plan

KEEP GOOD WHEAT FOR SEED.

Prof. H. L. BoIIey Of the State Aeri-
cultural College Discusses Matter Of
Good Seed Wheat.
Prof. Bolley of the state agricultural
college makes these suggestions to
farmers:
have been requested by number
of farmers to explain what effects may
be expected upon wheat crop of next
year because of the present serious in
jury caused by rust upon the grain Of
this years crop. There are numerous
other questions which have been asked
which most people can easily answer
for themselves, such as whether
rusted straw is poisonous when fed
to cattle;" whether badly rusted
straw turned under will tend to cause
the next years crop to rust" etc.
There is no information available to
Indicate that rust infected straw is
in any way poisonous in its action.
The straw stacks may, indeed, this
year prove somewhat more nutritious
to animals than usual because of the
fact that rust largely prevented the
straw from ipening the grain and
thus left embodied in it more actual
nourishment. There will also, in all
probability, be more shrunken and
shriveled grain in such stacks than
usual Thus, in general, we believe
that such wheat straw may furnish,
perhaps, more food for cattle than in
ordinary years. In regard to the ques
ton whether blowing under rusted
straw will tend to produce rusted
crop next year, I may say that 1t Is
4 against all present known facts to be
s.aalieye that such will be the case, pro.
Syided the soil is In such condition as
to produce thorough decaying OF the
straw. The new wheat crop does moi
\ become infected directly from the
black spores upon the old straw. \
seems probable that the new Infection
h comes each year from red rust sporee
which have blown from feld TO field

CONSCIENCE SMlTTEN,
An Old Northern Pacific EMPLOYEE
Confesses to False Pav-RoIIs.

ST. Paul, Aug. 31.-A letter has been
received at the Offices of President
Elliott of the Northern Pacific railway
from woman missionary in San
Francisco telling of the conversion of
man formerly section foreman on
the Northern Pacific road and his con-
fession to her that for several years
he regularly reported one man more
than he had on his force in his payroll.
When the check arrived he appropriate
ed the amount. The missionary says
the mans conversion is so sincere that
he wishes to return not only the mon
ey taken, but wishes to observe the
old Mosaic law demanding one-fifth adj
ditional in the form of smart money.
The letter asks that the records be
gone over and the amount ascertained.

St. Petersburg, September 1.-The
battle at Liaoyang last night continued
until midnight with frightful slaughter.
The Japanese succeeded in getting a
column across the Tatitse river, north
east of Liaoyang, turning the Russian
left flank. Kuropatkin gave orders to
fall back but owing to Japanese pres
sure the move was not executed.
The second days battle at Liaoyang
was of the most desperate character
and ragged continuously from dawn I'M

have been immense. At 8 o'clock in
the evening after holding his outer
positions all day in the most desper-
ate charges, General Kuropatkin gave
orders to retire upon the main works
about the city. The Japanese assaults
during the day had been directed
principally against the Russian center,
little east of Maietung Hill, near the
railroad and three miles southwest of
Liaoyang. Nothing approaching the

Mrs. ]. c. McClintock in the Kansas
Federation's Book of Quotations.
Mrs. A. H. Horton, president of the
Topeka Federation of Clubs announced
at the December meeting of the fed
GRAFTON at the state house Thursday a
business meeting for Wednesday, De-
cember IA, at half after o'clock at
Unity church. This meeting is called
mainly for the purpose of deciding the at
titude of the federation to the per capita
tax amendment of the state federation
constitution adopted at Emporia last
May and which caused some trouble
in the First district federation although
the action of the other districts was
favorable to it.
There are good many of the Topeka
club women, perhaps, who don't I'M
deTstand much about this per capita
tax question and there are more, no
doubt, who don't care anything about
1t. All it amounts to, though, is that
the state constitution which formerly
provided that all the minor organiza-
tions, district, county and city fedora
tions, federated with the state fedora
cents, was amended at the last meet
ing of the state federation and the per
capita. tax increased to Is cents. The
reason for the increase is the obvious
one that the expenses of the federation
have increased. The income has de-
creased somewhat for the reason that
while formerly there were many indi-
vidual clubs federated with the state
organization which paid 81 each an
nually these are now included in city,
district or county declarations and have
been paying only five cents per capita
tax into the state treasury. OF course
the correspondence of the federation
and all it's business has grown won
derfully in the past few years and more
money is needed to carry it on.
Mrs. James Lewis of kinsley, the
president of the state federation, has
prepared some statements and explana-
tions of the increased tax and club wo-
men who want to acquaint themselves
with the reasons behind the Emporia
amendment are asked to communicate
with Mrs A H Horton who can pre-
sent the administrations side of the
case to them.
In case the Topeka federation votes
against paying the increased dues 1T
will no longer be a part of the state
federation and the clubs will have to
1oin individually in order to have a
voice and vote at the annual meeting
in Topeka in May
Mrs. Horizons plan of having a bus
fness meeting apart from the program
meetings of the federation is a good
one. The meeting last Thursday was
the best in many months mainly be-
cause it was not taken up with trif1ing
and tiresome business before the pro-
gram commenced. And although the
