PRIMARY LAW WILL APPLY.

City Elections in Fargo and Grand
Forks Will Be Held Under the New
Primary Law.
The fact that the next city election
in Fargo will be conducted under the
primary election law is resulting in.
early political talk. inasmuch as it will
be the first test of the bill which was
passed at the last session of the legis-
Iature.
Fargo and Grand Forks are the only
cities in the state in which the Dri-
mary election law affects municipal
elections. The law provides that the
provisions so far as pertaining to mu-
nicipal elections are only applicable In
cities in the state containing a popula-
ton of 5000 or more according to the
last government censu According to
the state census jamestown also has
over 5000 population. but the fact that
the law expressly designates the gov
eminent census bars jamestown from
the privileges of the new measure.
The nominations for all city Offices
will be made at a primary election to
be held on Tuesday, March 6. The
municipal election will be held on
Monday, April 2.
Candidates for nominations shall,
not more than twenty days nor less
than ten days before the primary cleo
tion day, present their petitions or afa-
davits to the city auditor. For Offices
at large in the city such petitions must
contain at least 5 per cent of the votes
cast for mayor at the preceding cleo
ton, no elector to be allowed to sign
more than one petition for each office.
In cases OF ward Offices the petitions
must contain 5. per cent of the vote

: Time was, with most of us, when
Christmas day encircling all our linn
tied world like a magic ring, left moth
ing out for us to miss or seek; bound
together all our home enjoyments, af-
fections, and hopes; grouped every
thing and every one around the Christ
mas fire: and made the little picture
shining in IL bright young eyes, com
plete.
Time came, perhaps, all so soon!
when our thoughts %overleaped that
narrow boundary; when there was
some one livery dear, we thought then,
very beautiful, and absolutely perfect)
wanting to the fullness of our happi-
ness; when we were wanting too Cor
We thought so, which did just as well)

some one sat; and when we intertwin-
ed with every wreath and garland of
our life that some ones name.

bands of children, not yet in being nor
for ages yet to be, arise, and bloom
and ripen to the end of all!
Welcome, everything! Welcome,
alike what has been, and what never

your shelter underneath the holly, to
your places round the Christmas fire,
where what is sits o~pen-hearted! In
yonder shadow, do W. see obtruding
furtively upon the blaze, an enemy's
face? BY Christmas Day w forgive
him! If the injury he has done us
may admit of such companionship, let
him come here and take his place. If
otherwise, unhappily, let him go hence,
assured that we will never injure nor
accuse him.

man or tree raiser, and in no case &C
cept trees that were raised over 800
miles away.
And wherever you get them, follow
very carefully all instructions that the
nurseryman gives you. The advice
and experience of your nearby neigh
bors who have raised trees with fair
success is also worthy of careful con.
sideration.
Prepare the ground very thoroughly
by deep blowing and ~sub-surface pack
ing, with a common disc or a regular
subsurface packer. Fall blowing is
best. but early spring will do. Always
set your trees out in the spring, never
in the fall, here in Dakota.
This is usually the first question in
every new enterprise, but this is a diff
ferent proposition altogether. We
should not-we must not-look at it
only for the dollars we can see in It,
though the raising of fruit will bring
many dollars in better living and less
! ened doctor bills. But for the lands
sake, plant trees, and for your chill
dren's sake, and your wife's sake, and
your own sake, plant trees!
One of our most gifted lady writers
in Dakota Farmer, a month or two
ago, in a beautiful little poem on "The
Coming of the Trees" gave voice to
the feeling of her heart in words that
should find an affirmative response in
the heart of every woman who reads
them. All women love trees, and why
not give them the things they love?
Generally speaking the women of this
earth usually deserve far more of the
good things than they get. There are
good women, deserving women, in all
of earth's corners, but nowhere 'twixt
nobler, any grander ones than the pio-
neer women of the Northwest. We
have done the Dragging, but the wom-
en- have done much of the work that
has brought the u%pbuilding of our land.
They are the salt of the earth. There
is nothing on earth, nor in haven, too
good for them.
Over half a century ago a vine was
dug up in the woods and set out in a
garden by a humble working man,
who just wanted to see what it was
like. In the years since then every
man, woman and child that has eaten
a Concord grape has felt that they
would like to thank him who gave
them so grand a fruit. And now, after
he has been years in an unmarked
grave, it is said that a grand monu
ment is to be erected to the memory
g.. him who first ~transplanted this
grape and gave it to a waiting world
The grape itself is a finer monument
than any that man can build, but, i
good old Ephriam Bull had seen moth
ing but money, we might never have
had the Concord grape.
The Wealthy apple, the pride Of thu
Northwest, was not originated fol
money. Plant trees for the benefit o.
others rather than to fill your OWL
pocketbook. Such men as Peter Glide
on and Ephriam Bull have by theil
work benefited you, as we'll as millions
0 fothers. Then do your duty as 3
man should and pass these benefits or
to those who will travel the road whe1
your feet shall be cold and still. You
may not succeed in doing as much az
these two men, but you caneshow your
good will by trying.

by way Of Candy and Marshall, MINI.
This town has only n railroad, the
Chicago & Northwestern, and the
withdrawal of the trains mentioned is
proving a hardship upon the people Of
Castlewood and vicinity. The purpose
of the business men in petitioning the
superintendent of the mail service at
st. Paul is to have a passenger train
put on between Watertown and Brook
ings, this place being situated between
those points. If this is done the mail
facilities will be materially improved
and the people would be satisfied.

N. S. French, Berlin, in the Dakota
Farmer: The statement is frequently
seen in the secular press that "the
farmers of the Dakotas will have mon
ey to burn this fall."s Now if there are
any who are thus situated, let me i'm
plore them before they burn it all to
save out Just a small amount with
which to provide for the planting Of a
few trees.
Money is of no earthly use except to
exchange for something that will bene-
fit ourselves, our families or u
friends, and what one thing is there
that will benefit, beautify-yea, glorify
"a prairie home like a nice grove of
trees? The man who plants and cares
for a grove had builded for himself a
monument far grander and far more
enduring than any ''storied urn or pol
ished marble" And, he may live long
enough to enjoy it awhile himself. A
tree crop may not turn into cold cash
quite as quickly as a wheat or a flax
crop, but there is money in it just the
same. And even if there is no cash
value in trees, is cash all there is in
this world worth living for?
In a recent issue of the Edgelty
Mail appears the following: Hon. L.
A. Ueland brought in samples of the
different varieties of apples grown on
his farm this year. They are on exhi'
bition at the Office Of Shells & Weaver.
Among the varieties are the Duchess,
Hibernal, Kaump, Wealthy, Virginia
and Dakota. One of the apples meas
Tres twelve inches in circumference
and several of the others are nearly as
l;lrge. Mr.. Iceland picked over twelve
bushels Of apples this year and is well
pleased with his experiment in the
fruit line. He has demonstrated be
yond a doubt that apples can be sue
cessfully grown in North Dakota"
Here is a sample of what one mar
has done, and there is no truer saying
than this: What man has done, mar
may do" Many others may have done
as we'll and perhaps better. I simply
mention him as an example because
he is a neighbor CT mine and know
somewhat Of his successes and alst
of the difficulties that he has over
come. Besides The apples mentioned
above, he has in bearing several kinds
of native and wild plums, at least one
of which seems worthy Of general tria
and propagation.
The rainfall at Mr.. Ueland's farm
averages less than twenty inches pc
year, but cultivation in summer ant
mulching in winter have saved hi
