Magnificent Showing,

geographically North Dakota
is a favorable land. Comparative
ly a very small portion Of its area
of 10000 square miles is waste
land. At a conservative esti-
mate, 95 per cent of the total
area is susceptible of cultivation
and improvement.
North Dakota is the wealthiest
state in the union in proportion
to it's population. 1t has no
millionares and it has but a score
or so of individuals who count
their wealth in six figures but
on the other hand, it has very
few who belong to the poor and
INDECENT class. Three-fourths
of the population are ruralists
and the farm products, raised in
1908 were large enough to give
every man, woman and child $500
il it we're equally divided. The
average of farm products raised
in the state was about $1,000 for
each farm last year.
The incomes of the people OF
this state average larger than
any other state in the union.
The assessed valuation of the
real and personal property in
the state for taxation purposes
in1903 was $146, 537, 444, less than
20 per cent of it's actual com.
mercial value. The estimated
value of the agricultural products
in the state in 1908 was $135,0Oo,'
600. The manufactured pro
ducts of North Dakota aggregate
about $40, 900, 900 annually.
There is room for others,
North Dakota is a state of oppor'
tunities. Her portals are oper
to all good citizens, and she stand:
ready to extenda hearty welcome
to all who would take advantage
of the grand opportunities SIT
has to offer. North Dakota ha'
room for a population tenfolt
greater than it is at present.

Burned to Death.

Word has been received of the death
of Alvin Carlin of Havana, from the
effects of burns sustained a few days
ago. The young man was building a
fire at his home, and used kerosene to
hasten it. There were some shoulder
ing embers in the ashes which he had
not noticed, and these converted the
oil into gas which exploded, setting
fire to his clothing. His father and
others arrived at once and s%mothered
the flames in a quilt, but he had been
burned inwardly.

the land in the state is under cul-
tivation at the present time and
and millions Of her broad acres
never yet turned by the pillow are
waiting to yield up the riches
lying dormant in their prolific
soil. Homeseekers will find here
opportunities for establishing
new homes under almost any
conditions they could ask for.
Verify North Dakota is a state
of golden opportunities, Thous-
ands of men and women through
out the overdone east can begin
life anew and makea newsuccess
Of life by taking advantage of
some Of the openings awaiting
them here.
In the production of fax the
state leads the union, while it's
rank in the growth of wheat is
third. The average yield of fax
a year ago was twelve bushels to
the acre which at Sta bushel in
Many cases paid the entire ex-
pense of making the crop, besides
paying for the land. While the
state was long considered too far
north to raise corn successfully,
yet varities are being developed
suitable to the climate and which
compare in nutritive properties
with the celebrated hard wheat
which ranks the best in the
world. North Dakota corn won
second prize, silver medal, at the
Pan-American exposition, in COM
petion with the great corn states.
While land values have not
yet been affected to any material
extent by increased settlement
and prosperity, there is every
reason to believe that prices will
very quickly respond to the in
creased demand and that land
will attain it's true value. The
true value is many times its
present selling price. The
neighboring state of Minnesota
furnishes an example ofwhat one
may expect in northern NORTH
Dakota.

He Met Wolves.

Martin Hcisler of Balfour, went out
hunting for chickens. He came across
a couple of wolves, and not having lost
any wolves he was quite taken by sur
prise. The wolves were as greatly sur
priced as he was, and they and the
mar stood looking at each other for
some time. Finally tho wolves conclu-
ded that it was time to go, and started.
By this time the hunter had come to,
and he shot one of the animals, the
other escaping.

Busted Straw.

The question has been raised as to
whether or not rusted straw could be
fed to cattle with safety. An expert
of the Minnesota agricultural college
says that some rusted straw has been
fed every year and he has never been
able to trace any bad effects to it's use.
He recommends that the straw be fed
this year as usual, but with some care,
and close watchfulness as to results.

Fires.

For many years fires swept over the
prairies On the west side of theJ amcs
river. In many cases these fires de-
s%troyed, not only the grass, but the
vegetable mould which constitutes
one of the most valuable properties of
the soil. This rendered the land undc-
sirable, but it would not Withstand
drouth as well as lands which had not
been burned over SO regularly. AS the
country has settled fires are less fire.
quent, and this land, a large portion of
which has been considered worthless,
is now coming into the market, and
good prices arc now being paid for it
by men who expect to make their
homes on it.

Apples.

0pp-eSs
The finest looking apples that have
been seen in Grand Forks this year
were not raised in Washington, Mis-
souri, or New York, but came from the
orchard of Oscar Wick, about a mile
from the city. Mr.. Wick packed a col
lection for shipment to the Worlds
Fair at st. Louis, and he brought q
basketful to the city to exhibit. He
had several varieties of apples, three
or tour of crab apples, ani a number
OF tine plums. The Wealthy applss
were particularly fine, being larg@
perfect in form, beautifully colored,
and ripe. He had a number of Duchess
apples, but the season is q little too
late for them, and those that he had
were not as fine as some which had
been picked earlier.
Mr.. Wick has been raising fruit
there for several years, and he finds no
difficulty with it. His experience is a
perfect refutation of the theory that
this is too far north to raise fruit. To
do it successfully requires care as it
does anywhere, but if the care is given
the results will follow. Mr.. Wick pro-
tects his trees by wind breaks, which
he says is very important. 1t will be
news to a great many people that in
case of apples the protection should be
on the south rather than on the north
side of the trees. This is the experi-
ence of Mr.. Wick, who explains it on
the ground that unless the trees are SO
protected, the spring sun will force the
How Of sap too early, and freezing
nights later will ruin the trees. An
mother reason is that during May,
when apple trees are in bloom there
are almost invariably high south
winds and these will destroy the bios
som unless there is protection.
Fire Bugs.
Landlord O'Dowd, of the Great
Northern hotel, Grand Forks, is con-
vinced that some malicious person
planned to wipe out his hotel and
oil other buildings in the block.
On the evening of the fire it seemed as
though it might had been a blaze acct
dentally started but an investigation
showed Mr.. O'Dowd and the aubhori-
ties that some n had planned to des-
stroy all the buildings. The fire was
discovered in a small woodshed back
of the Great Northern hotel. Hay had
been carried from the south and placed
so that the draft from a large opening
would fan the flames quickly. Had it
not been discovered promptly by a
messenger boy the plans Of the firebug
would have been successful. There is
no clue the identity of the guilty per-
son.

Look Out For it.

Local physicians report an extraordi-
nary large number Of cases OF illness,
Most of them are modification OF the
grip, but the modification does not help
matters much. The first symptom is a
succession Of chills with feeling OF
weakness. Look out for it then and ap-
ply the old fashioned remedies or you
will be in bed the next day.
II the disease progresses, violent head
aches and pains in every bone make you
think you are doing penance. Then fol-
lows a sore throat, OF the nature In
tonsilitls. To make it complete high
fever sets in and the patients pulse goes
to something like ITO.
IL this stage is reached, a physician
should be called. Other members OF the
family should be careful, as the malady
always effects the whole household
Babies and grown folks are treated alike
by the disease. 1t usually requires from
a week to ten days to over,--Virginia

Looks Good.

This section has received supply OF
water the past two months that has
thoroughly soaked the ground several
feet from the surface. In number Of
localities where springs dried out dur
ing the past few years of dry weather,
have again come to the surface and are
now flowing water. Parties who have
had to excavate for any purpose, states
that the water line is but few feet be-
low the surface and in some places with
in few inches of the top of the soil.
This was brought about by the Pc
culiar condition of the winter. When
the cold weather came, the ground was
free OF snow and when the storms did
come the ground had thawed out, allow
ing the moisture to soak the soil to a
depth rarely attained in this section,
where the winter usually froze the
ground to a depth that caused the warm
rains of spring to run off. Ifwater is all
that is needed by the ranchers, there is
plenty in the ground and all kinds Of
snow in the mountains to draw from.

Dear Sir:
Under separate cover | send you copy
Of my speech, published in pamphlet
form, which was delivered by me or
March 7th and appeared in the Con-
gressional Record of the 9Th. There
has been SO much that is unjust and un-
fair said about the State of Nevada in
the East and her resources and posi-.
bilities are 30 little known by the aver
age man in the East that l felt it was
my duty to bring this matter before Con-
gress in speech, which l did. II l am
to Judge OF the value Of the speech from
the way it WAS received | am to feel fiat
tered that it has been of value to the
State of Nevada, because have already
received letters from eleven states ask
ing for copies Of the speech and stating
that what / said was a revelation to
them. 1t has been copied and printed
in large number Of Eastern papers and
printed in its entirety in number Of
New England papers, 1t shows that the
attention Of the country is being direct
ed toward the State Of Nevada as State
where opportunity for industrial devel-
opment is unlimited and where the fu-
ture of her mineral production has hard
ly been told.

contains the following mention Of Nevada
and Mr. ferington:
"A movement has been started among
the State Commissioners to the Worlds
Fair for the organization OF an execu-
tive commissioners association, which
shall include the commissioners repre-
senting the various states and foreign
countries at the fair. A call for the first
meeting was issued a day or two ago
1t will be held In the administration
building on April 18th at Q P. M. An in
vitation has been sent to all state and
foreign commissioners, most OF whom il
is expected will be in st. Louis by the
date set. J. A. Yerington, executive
commissioners of Nevada, is the origina-
tor Of the idea and is conducting the pre-
paratorv arrangements"
In speaking Of the Nevada exhibit il
says: "Nevada's principal display at the
fair will be in the Palace of Mines and
Metallurgy, where will be shown in
various ways, 165 valuable minerals pro
duced by the state. A slab Of compress
ed lumber, which formed bracing tim,
ber in the Comstock mines, 1900 feet be-
low the surface, will be shown. The
tremendous pressure of the earth com
pressed the stick 30 that it now resem

Mother, Dear
Mother

Here are few words taken from ar
exchange which could be read with pro
fit in every household: A father: talk.
ing to a careless daughter said: II want
to talk to you of your mother. 1t may
be that you have noticed the careworn
look upon her face lately. OF course, it
has not been brought there by any ac-
ton Of yours; still it is your duty to chase
it away. want you TO arise tomorrow
morning aud prepare breakfast, and
when your mother comes and begins to
express surprise, go right up and kiss
her. You can't imagine how it will
brighten her dear face. Besides, you
owe her a kiss or two. Away back, when
you were little girl, she kissed you
when no one else was tempted by your
fever taiuted and swollen face. You
we're not as attractive then as you are
now. And through those years of child
ish sunshine and shadow she WAS always
ready to cure, by the magic OF mothers
kiss, the little dirty, chubby hands when
ever they were injured in those first
skirmishes with the rough world. And
then the midnight kiss with which she
routed 80 many bad dreams, as she lean
ed over your restless pillow, have been
on interest all these long, long years.
"Of course. she is not so pretty and
kissable as you are, but il you had done
your share for the last ten years the con-
trast would not be 80 marked. Her face
has more wrinkles than yours far more,
and yet IL you were sick that face would
appear more beautiful than an angels,
as it lowered over you watching for an
opportunity to administer to your COM
fort, and every one Of those wrinkles
would seem to be bright wavelets of sun
shine chasing each other over her dear
face. She will leave you one OF these
days. These burdens. if not lifted from
her shoulders, will break her down.
Those rough, hard hands that have done
so many necessary things for you will be
folded on a lifeless breast. Those me-
elected lips that gave you your first baby
kiss will be forever closed, and those sad,
tired eyes will open in eternity, and then
you will appreciate your mother; but it
will be too late.
