the practicability of pumping out
the waters of the Missouri onto the
vast bench lands which lie along it's
course. There are several of these
benches. OF the lower benches
lying between the bluffs of the
Missouri and ranging anywhere
from 20 to SO feet above the river,
there are tens of thousands of fer
tile acres. This great basin ranges
from a mile and a half to three
miles wide, the greater part of the
entire length Of the Missouri as it
flows through North Dakota, and
it is probable that there are hun
dred and fifty thousand acres Of
such lanG- To irrigate this would
be a great thing for North Dakota.
But this is not all. The govern
ment is figuring on lifting the wa
ter to a height Of even $50 feet,
possibly 200, out onto the high
benches behind the bluffs which
may be possible with unlimited
supplies of Ignite at less than a
dollar ton.

SIXTY FEET COAL VEINS.


SIXTY FEET COAL VEINS.
The Ignite veins are of enor-
nous size. Engineer Samuel B.
Robbins of the Reclamation Ser
vice told me of a 6O-foot Ignite
vein which he ran across in re-
connaisance of the Little Missouri
River, in the western part of the
state. In trip up the Missouri,
1 observed great seams in the bluffs
which held thousands and thous-
ands Of tons.
The governments plan would
probably be to establish enormous
pumping plants at some of these
outcropings-probably the largest
pumping station in the woodland
perhaps go into the coal mining
itself on vast scale and pump real
rivers of irrigation water out onto
the higher benches and perhaps at
the same time generate great cleo
trical power from this central plant
which could be transmitted fifty
miles up and down the river for
the operation of smaller plants to
water the lower bench lands lying
between the bluffs.
FINE HOMEMAKING CHANCE LOST.
I was particularly taken with a
splendid lower bench of some forty
or more thousand acres of what was
Ft Stevenson Reservation, not far
from the terminus of the 500, which
runs through Washburn. This was
thrown open a few years ago under
conditions which now prove great
misfortune. Were it still govern
ment land, it could be irrigated by
the government and would furnish
q large number of settlers ideal op-
portunities for homes. Great un-
wisdom was displayed in the han
ding of this magnificent tract of
land. Itwas not even thrown open
to homestead settlement, but was
put up at auction, with the result
that the settlers had no chance to
secure it, and it was absorbed by
one large corporation located in
Cincinnati. It is to be hoped that
if any more such opportunities
come to. North Dakota, the people
of thevstate will more closely watch
their real interests.
AT some future time, when land
and water values shall have i'm
pressed themselves upon Dakota
farmers, the latter for what it is
really worth computed upon the
basis of what water will make land !
produce with careful farming, it
may be possible to even build a
great dam. five times the size of
the Nile dam, and thus spread the
Old Muddy out upon the lands in
a vast yellow, fertilizing, vitalizing
flood, and to reclaim an empire;
at present we may see plants per-
fected for the watering of num-
Der of hundred thousand acres
tributary to the Missouri by utiliz-
ing that cheapest of fuels, Ignite.
Certain it is that there are great
of smaller propositions
throughout the state where pump
ing for irrigation by Ignite can
be made most profitable. Guy 3.

Grand Army encampment in this
city for the week of the 18th 81
August.
You may be. assured, that you.
and your friends, my comrades
of the Confederate Army, will be
heartily welcomed, in Boston, and
we will do our best in giving
them places in Faneuil Hall at the
reception of the Kins1ey Post
No. 113, on the evening of the
18th of August, but l must say.
that as the information you gave
me comes so late in our arrange
ments, | regret that we are not
at this moment positive that we
can give all of the delegates seats
on the main floor. You may rest
assured, however, we will do all
that we can, to nave them there.
The Post, as you will under
stand, has room for but twenty
five ex-Confederate on the main
floor and twenty-five of the invi-
tations sent out have already sig
nified their intention of being
present, this leaves but three
seats upen and there are still five
invitations out.
I realize, however, that it is
possible that some of the gentle
men who have accepted, may find
it impossible at the last moment
to come aid further it may be
possible for the Post to arrange
two or three more seats; this
surely is our wish and in that
case, we can provide for your
friends on the main floor.
Very truly yours,
E. c. BRUSH.

Misses Alma and Cora TOWne Entertain
Their Friends in Delightful Manner
at Their Suburban Home,


scene, last week, of social event,
the equal of which, has not been
known in Fitzgerald in many days.
Unique invitations had been
issued, bidding six young ladies,
VIZ: Misses Claire and Sue Bone,
Eleanor and Ethel Marston,
Bertha Twiss of this city and
Marie Leedy, of Abbevi1le, to en-
JOY the week at a house party, to
be giver by the Misses Alma and
Cora Towne
The pleasant home, surround
ed by spacious lawns, all dotted
with well-trimmed trees shrubs
and vines, together with the ideal
home-life of the popular hostess
es, made the party one long to
be remembered, not only by the
fortunate six but by at least two
dozen of the cities beaux, who
made a practice of spending all
or portion of the evenings at
Rustic Rest" and occasionally,
in the afternoons, when driving
was on the program, they were
enabled to make a return for the
pleasures afforded by the young
ladies'.
While the entire week was one
round of pleasure, the palm
must be given to Friday evening.
Invitations having been sent out
to the number of forty, the
guests gathered early and all
agreed that the pretty scene was
one hard to be improved upon.
Many hands, guided by artistic
instinct, had, by the tasteful use
of ferns, vines, potted plants oak
boughs and Japanese lanterns,
transformed the place into a
bower into which the nymphs
might have been beguiled, there
to revel in their fairy dances.
In the summer house, which
was banked with boughs and
hung with lanterns, delicious
fruit punch was served through
out the entire evening. The
rustic idea was carried out in the
par1or and reception hall, where
the color scheme was green and
white and vine festoons were
draped in profusion. A large
white bell, suspended from the
center of the parlor, was con-
nected with the four corners of
the room, by crepe paper rib
bons. The same idea was car
ried out in the reception room,
where large heart, pierced by
Cupid's arrows, was hung.
Strains of sweet music brought
forth from the piano, by the
skillfu1 hands of Mrs. P. T. De-
Valid and several of the young
ladies', were waited to the happy
guests, scattered about the YER
andas and lawn, where ham
mocks and rustic seats had been
arranged for their comfort and
pleasure. Mr.. Frank Maddocks
favored the company with one of
his popular solos, beautifully
rendered.
A Star Wind" was one of the
enjoyable features of the evening
and the favors, won by Miss
Pauline Crawford and Mr..
George Hayde, were presented
by Mr.. Arthur Day, in his
usual happy vein.
At eleven o'clock, ice cream
and cake, with green iceing,
served in truly rustic style, on
wooden boats, was part of the
evenings pleasure, and was de-
serving of special mention.
The invited guests we're as fol-
lows: Mesdames TWiss, and P.
Il. DeVald, the Misses Mable
and Lucy Rogers, Mamie Hayde,

 If there is any class of youths who ought to show respect for the rights of others and respect for the law it is the students of our colleges and universities.

Russian Persistence.

Russia's answer to the insinuation that she cannot feed the troops al ready with Kuropatkin at the front is an order for another mobilization of reserves in seven military districts, the third and most extensive of the war If. as is planned, this force is placed in the field by spring there will then be an aggregate of nearly seven hundred thousand men ready to be advanced with perhaps the ire sistibility of an avalanche against the Japanese in Manchrria. This proof of the purpose of the RustF mi to employ the winter in strengthen ing their field forces certainly indi- cates no serious thought on their part of abandoning their announced inten- tion ultimately to drive the enemy back to their ships by sheer weight of numbers. If they fail it will not be for lack of persistence.

The Gould Hazing Affair

Kingdom GOuld's escapade with the sophomores> of Columbia university, New York. will be variously judged. He is George Gould's son and fresh man at Columbia. He is as yet a nsere lad, and of course, should not be permitted to carry a revolver. even to protect himself from the brutal at tacks of his college mates.
 But having the revolver and given the treatment he had reasons to expect if he fell into the hands of the sOph- omoric savages, no man with any spir- it can blame the boy much for dis charging the weapon with a view to jntimidating his pursuers. It appears from the dispatch that young Gould showed much more self-restraint than men under attack usually do when they have a weapon handy. He fled first and then, when escape was inn possible, he turned, faced his tormen- tors and repeatedly threatened them before he fired, and when the weapon was discharged nobody was hurt.
 We suppose the newspapers of the country will generally criticise young Gould. because he is the son of his father. We remember that some years ago an effort was made to haze a young Texan in one of the northern colleges. He stood off his tormen- tors with a revolver, shooting one of them seriously though not fatally. We also remember that the young Texan was generally regarded throughout the country at the time as a young man of spirit and it was intimated that if his methods could prevail the repre- hensible practice of hazing which col lege faculties had so long lamented, might be broken up altogether.
 College boys and some college men have a hazing code which demands acquiescence in any form of torture the hazers choose to inhict. As -prac- ticed sometimes it is just as mean just about as cruel, and certainly as lawless as dueling and lynching h view of what some victims of the nag

The total number of bushels of wheat exported in the eleven months ending with November, 1904, is stated by the bureau of statistics at 12,21o, 17s, as against 677Ss,7S1 in the cor responding months of 1903; of four. 1O,6S6.467 barrels, as against 17,102, 5S barrels in the same months of last year; of corn, 3S,314.984 bushels, as against S6,659,013 in the same monrhs of last year. and of oats, 1O26,245 bushels, as compared with 1,4l5 j75 bushels in the corresponding eleven months of 1903. This failing oG in exports of breadstuffs is believed to be due, first, to a slight reduction in the home production; second, 70 a material increase in home consumption and third to unusually large wiieat crops abroad which reduced the worlds demands for breadstufs 3f the United States.
