railroad will begin Is not definitely fixed. hut that the nearest estimate

pushed with all possible speed and IT Is probable that before the end of the
next month grading from Gardner will be well under way and the new road
assuming the appearance Of reality, says the Ration Range.
It is thought that the most feasible plan is to grade the western portion
Of the road In order that the easily procuraMe ties from the Cimarron
canyon may be utilized. However. the activities shall not be confined to this
section alone. but will be carried on all along the route Of the proposed

DIR. Harper
Will Recover

New York, May DR.. Will
liam r. Harper, president of the
University of Chicago, is said by
his physicians to be on the high
road to recovery from cancer, a
disease heretofore pronounced as
incurable. Il
DR.. Harper arrived in New
York from Chicago recently in
company with Dr.. Frank Bill
.lings, his physician. For two
long hours DR.. Harper under
went an examination by Dr..
William J. Morton at the latter's
Office, 10 East 18th street, and
awaited the verdict of the ex-
pert with unconcealed anxiety.
The result of the examination
exceeded even his fondest hopes,
and he walked out into the sun
shine with step as springy as
a boy. Later at the Manhattan
he received the congratulations
of scores of friends. vs
DR. Morton found that not only
had the growth Of the cancerous
tumor been arrested, but it lal
decreased nearly two-thirds Of
its original size. Three weeks
ago the growth covered an area
of more than eighteen square
inches Today the X ray showed
that the disease was confined to
an area Of hardly seven square
inches.
DR.. Harper spoke enthusiastic
cally of the progress which had
been made. In March he came
to New York and placed himself
under the care of DR.. Morton,
the K ray specialist.
The process by which the cure
is being effected is based on the
theory that disease can be cured
through the destruction Of the
microbes by means Of light.
The treatment consists in adj
mlnlster1ng to the patient a cer-
tain fuid solution which has the
property Of becoming fourecsent
when struck by radium rays.
When the whole system has
absorbed this solution so that it
may be found in all the blood
corpuscles. especially those
! affected by the cancer, the X ray
or radium ray is turned on tine
seat Of the trouble.
AS the rays combine with The
fluid solution a faint light il
produced which is destructive to
the germs of disease.

SOME IOWA CONDITIONS

The census being taken in the
state of Iowa shows a market de
crease in the population of many
Of the counties and the explana-
ton is made that the decrease is
due to the large emigration to
North Dakota. There is a valu-
able lesson in this for the man
who desires a home in this state
while lands are yet cheap. Those
who went to Iowa in the early
days procured land just as
cheaply as could be done in this
state ten years ago. The con-
ditions now are differest and the
lands that were homesteaded
and those purchased for almost
nothing are now beyond the
reach of the man of ordinary
means. The profits derived from
Iowa lands are not equal to those
derived from North Dakota
lands. Hence, the latter must
increase in market price much;
more RAPIDLY than did those Of
Iowa. The opportunity to pro
cure lands at Iowa prices is pas
sing rapidly in this state, and
within ten years with the pres
ent rate of increase in population.
maintained, there will not be an
acre of first class land purchased
below SIS an acre. No man in
ordinary circumstances can pur,
chase at this price, and that is
why they should buy now.
Otherwise the present condition
in Iowa will be repeated in
North Dakota.

FPICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY AMI
THE CITY OF DEVILS LAKE.
WHY TOGO DELAYS.

Those who believe the Japan
csc navy is showing the white
feather in the present naval sit
uation in eastern waters, are GER
tainly not studying the situa-
ton. The present delay on the
part of Admiral Togo is one of
the most strategic moves Of
modern warfare. The world
knows, and so does Togo, that
the defeat of Rojestvenski means
the destruction of Russian naval
power in the Pacific. 1t is there
fore, an important as we'll as
critical situation. A battle at
this time, or before this time,
when the coal supplies of the
Russian fleet were good. would
have meant an uncertain contest.
But the delay Of Toga to attack
and his maneuvering to keep out
of a general engagement, shows
that he means to compel the
Russians to exhaust their coal
in avainless sailing of the sea.
It is reasonably certain that
France will permit no more coal
ing at her ports and with these
out, Russia has only Viladvos.
took open, and with the Japanese
army hammering at it's southern
gates, that port offers little hope.
Without coal, the fleet will be at
the mercy of the enemy, and the
battle when fought will be one of
certainty for Togo instead of one
of uncertainty. The Japanese
fleet is near it's base and will al
ways be able to have it's bunkers
filled. It may be that no move
will be made until the army has
either cut off the railroad to
Vladivostock or captured the
place, so that the feet will have
no refuge, once the attack be-
gun. The plan is simple, yet
comprehensive, and the slowness
of the preliminary work are in
dicative Of its thoroughness.
