investments; so that while the gen.
eral situation continues satisfactory
and sound the market was totally I'M
able to resist such combination of
unfavorable influences. The financial
situation abroad is also satisfactory,
foreign markets being generally on
sounder basis than for some months
past and American securities steadily
rising in favor. The great increase in
gold production in South Africa is al
so having a stimulating effect. Our
foreign trade shows reviving ten
dency, especially in exports, which in
April rose to $134,OOO,0O0, an increase
of S17,000,000 compared with last
year. This gain was almost equally
divided between agricultural products
and manufactures; the latter a most
encouraging demonstration of our
growing capacity to enter into compe-
tition with other nations in the
worlds markets. Our imports during
April rose to $4,000, 900, an increase
of S19,0O0,000, which chiefly occurred
in food products and in materials for
cse in manufacturing, and is, there
fore, to be interpreted as an indication
of home prosperity. The foreign stu
alton is, of course, still complicated
by the war between Russia and Japan.
There is good reason, however, to be-
lieve that peace negotiations have
been quietly renewed, backed by
France and the United States. These
would undoubtedly be hastened by a
decisive naval battle between the two
fleets now opposing each other in Far
Eastern waters. At times it almost
looks as if their commanders were
evading actual battle in order to allow
negotiations fair chance; but Japan,
encouraged by past success, has now
taken such an emphatic stand that it
seems hardly possible for Russia to
enter peace negotiations without
making a final effort to avoid COM
plete humiliation. For Russia there
is vastly more danger from internal
dissensions than from her futile strug-
gle with Japan"

Mandan's School Trouble.

For some time rumors have reached
this city that there was a sort of
fight on in the Mandan school board
and that 1t savored of sectarian
nature to the extent that some teach
ers could not be good teachers" be-
cause their religious belief was not
along desirable lines.
The following is taken from the
Mandan Republican: 5
AT the special meeting of the
school board the chairman was read
ing about lot of applications for the
places made vacant by the action of
the last meeting when the statement
made by one, in the usual form of
answer, that she was protestant"
caused Mr.. McGillic to remark that
that was enough to know of her and
the reading of this application was
discontinued. We do not believe the
Catholics of Mahdan sanction any
such thing as this and we have further
to believe that they with the protest
ants would like to see our teachers
employed solely with view to their
qualifications yet this "bull in the
china shop" is suffered to dominate
our school board in this manner.
1.-The Republican in the discussion
OF the issues raised by the recent
action of the school board, purposes
to handle the subject purely upon it's
merits, from the standpoint of a
patriotic citizen; to deal \ with the
truth as it sees the truth; to seek the
greatest good for the city at large;
and it does not propose to permit it.
self to be diverted from the issue, nor
to be dragged into a sectarian strife.
It would be extremely unfortunate if
the citizens of Mandan should prove
themselves to he unwilling or unable
to master the situation without drag
ging religious matters into the contro-
| versy." . .:.

GO HAND IN HAND.

Drainage and Irrigation Good For the
State and Do Not Affect Land
Values Adversely.
In speaking of the idea that irri-
cation agitation would depreciate
land values in this section of the
state Auditor Holmes said he could
not view the matter in that light.
I'm the Red River Valley" said he,
1--WE are as much interested in drain
age as this part of the state is in
irrigation. The several counties have
appropriated $500 each through their
boards of commissioners and the gov.
eminent will spend a like amount for
the purpose of having a general drain
age survey of the entire valley made
in order that the work can be carried
on Systematically, it being proposed
to use some of the irrigation money
in this drainage work. Everyone
realizes that drainage is a necessity
with us, and while there are kickers
on every project that ever was pro.
posed, the drainage will be accom-.
plish in time and great good will re.

affected land values adversely because
every reasonable person knows drain.
age will be an advantage, just as all
must admit irrigation here will add
to the productiveness of the land"
Frank Fox of Fox & McGinnis Land
Co., is one of the few real estate men
who favor irrigation for this section.
In speaking of the matter he said:
Il can see no danger to land values
as a result of irrigation; on the con.
trary, irrigation will stimulate values
all around, more particularly, OF
course, in the watered district. II
the proposed irrigation goes through
it will certainly be a good thing for
this city and ought to stimulate the
realty business greatly

GETTING THE SENTIMENT.
State Engineer Fellows made tri

State Engineer Fellows made trip
over the proposed irrigation district
yesterday for the purpose of in
speeding the lands and incidentally
meeting the resident farmers. He
was greatly pleased with the lay of
the land and said the project was per-
fectly feasible and the land capable,
under irrigation, of producing wonder
full crops-crops undreamed of by the
farmers who have cropped the land
and have been satisfied with what, in
this section, have been accepted as
good yields.
Among the farmers actually resi-
dent on the land, he found some op-
posed to the irrigation project. Some
of them were men who had given the
matter considerable thought All of
them agreed that water on the land
fould at the critical time work won
ders as to yield, but the idea of plac-
ing their lands in escrow to secure
payment of water rents, etc., was re-
pugnant, though all acknowledged that
is what they practically did when
they voted school, county and state
taxes, or made loan on their lands.
1t was apparent that few had given
the matter the broad consideration,
from all points due to be in accord
with the accepted view as to irriga-
ton as applied by the government to
lands in private ownership. It was
evident that many of the farmers
were content with present conditions
that an actual demonstration of the
increased land values and production
must be made before they would be-
lieve it to their interest to conform to
the requirements of the reclamation
:act. 1t was also evident that advance
agents of anti-irrigation had been in
the field ahead of the state engineer.
In contradistinction to the sentiment
of the few farmers, who personally
titled the soil, is the marked favor

ment to become members of the water
users association of men who repre-
sent considerable proportion of the
land involved, many owners, who are
known to favor irrigation not being
seen in the short time given to this
work before leaving for the drive.
1t cannot be expected that so i'm
portant a matter should be agreed
upon by all in moment, though Mr..
Fellows, in his experience in states
where irrigation has been a demon
strated practicability, is surprised all
do not appreciate it's value on sight.
The fact that so many have with
out personal experience, and who only
know of irrigation's benefits from
seeing 1t in actual operation, or from
miniature experience in gardens at
home signed up their lands for this
project certainly ought to have weight
with those who hang back.

Henry Clews, in summing up the
financial and trade situation says:
"The stock market has been democrat
lied and at times almost panicky.
After drop of 10 to 20 points periods
of upward reaction were to be ex-
pected, but the speculative situation
was such as to accelerate rather than
check the declining tendency. Dis
trust appears to have been at the bot
tom of the break in vaIues-distrust
caused by variety of disturbing in
huences. The most important of
these was the large bank defalcation
at Milwaukee coming after the un-
easy feeling created by the Equitable
squabble. Next came the collapse in
the wheat speculation, resulting in a
decline of about 35c per bushel within
80 days. These outside facts alone
were sufficient to cause an important
decline in the market; but the techni-
cal position was also such as to en-.
courage weakness. Some very i'm

ton OF the crops as well as the ex-
pected naval battle between Russia

quota OF depression. To these adverse
