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-
lature.
Fargo and Grand Forks are the only
cities in the state in which the pri-
mary election law affects municipal
elections. The law provides that the
provisions 80 far as pertaining to mu-.
nicipal elections are only applicable in
cities in the state containing popula-
ton of 5000 or more according to the
last government census. 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 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 afi-
davits to the city auditor. For Offices
at large in the city such petitions must
contain at least per cent of the votes
cast for mayor at the preceding cleo

more than one petition for each Office.
In cases Of ward offices the petitions

South Dakota Sheep King Goes to
Land of His Birth.

Martin Johnson, who fifteen years
ago was a struggling farmer in Brule
county. by close attention. to business
has become one of the wealthiest men
IN South Dakota and is entitled to
bear the name of being the sheep king
in western South Dakota.
When 100000 acres of the Great
Sioux reservation wereopened to SET
Element; Feb. 10, 1890, Johnson went
to the vicinity of the Bad Lands, be-
tween the Missouri river and the Black
Hills, where he established sheep
ranch. He devoted his personal atten-
ton to the business, with the result
that he is now one of the big sheep.
men of the Northwest.
In the last six months he has sold
sheep and wool to the value of nearly
$4,000, and still has thousands of
sheep left, in addition to large herds
of cattle and horses. Johnson recent
ly decided he was entitled to a vaca-
ton, and with his wife, left a few
days ago for a visit to his old home in
Norway. 1t will be the first time in
thirty-seven years he has visited the
land of his birth.

CITY JAIL BLOWN UP.
Only Prisoner MiracuIousIy Escapes
Death.

Hamilton, Iowa, Dec. 12.-By an al.
most miraculous occurrence the life
of w. ]. Davis, a prisoner in the city
Jail here, was saved when the build
ing was almost totally wrecked by
dynamite explosion late Saturday
night. Davis escaped with slight in
juries. Cnriously enough he himself
was under arrest on suspicion of hav-
ing blown up o restaurant building
week ago. He was the only prisoner
in Jail at the time of the explosion
there. The work is credited either to
friends Of Davis who wished to prove
him innocent of the first outrage, or
some one having mania for such ex-
PLOTS.

Tree AND. FRUIT GROWTH IN \, D.
French Gives Some Interesting and Valuable Information
on This Subject. - A a MN

NJ 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" Now If there are
any who are thus situated, let me i'm
plore them before they burn it all to
save out just 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 our
friends, and what one thing Is there
that will benefit, beautify-yea, glorify
"a prairie home like nice grove of
trees? The man who plants and cares
for grove had builded for himself
| 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 fax
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 recent issue of the Edgelty
Mail appears the following: Hon. l..
A. Iceland 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
ures twelve inches In circumference
and several of the others are nearly as
l;lrge. Mr.. LELAND picked over twelve
bushels of apples this year and is we'll
pleased with his experiment in the
! fruit line. He has demonstrated be-
yond doubt that apples can be sue
cessfully grown in North Dakota"
Here is sample of what one man
has done, and there is no truer saying
than this: What man has done, man
may do" Many others may have done
as we'll and perhaps better. simply
mention him as an example because
he is a neighbor of mine and I know
somewhat of his successes and also
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 trial
and propagation.
The rainfall at Mr.. Ueland's farm
averages less than twenty inches Der
year, but cultivation in summer and
mulching in winter have saved his
trees, as it will save yours if you plant
them right and see that the work is
done at the right season and in a
proper manner.
If in doubt as to what to plant, write
your experiment station or consult
with the horticultural societies of Min
nesota or the Dakotas, or write to the
forestry division of the agricultural
department at Washington, D. C. They
will not only tell you what to plant,
but how to plant and how to care for
them after planting-in short, how to
raise forest, for strange as it may
seem to some, there can be and will
be more than one forest raised right
here in the Dakotas. If you buy your
seedlings-which is usually better
plan than the planting of seeds-buy
of about the nearest reliable nursery

DYNAMITE HURTS THREE.
Men Are Blown Up While Thawinq
Out Explosive

Duluth, Dec. 1O.-While engaged at
thawing out some dynamite at noon
yesterday, three drill operators work
ing one mile north of Grand Rapids,
had narrow escape from death as a
result of an explosion. They are all
in the hospital, Hugh McNulty with his
left leg shattered, John Peavey with
his left eye gone and terrible burns on
his face, and Tom Benton with his
throat lacerated and body bruised. The
boiler used with the drill was blown
fifty feet. They were working for the
Oliver Iron Mining company.

cept trees that were raised over 300
miles away.
very carefully all instructions that the
murseryman Elves 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 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 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
eneds 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, 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
the rise or set of sun are there any
nobler, any grander ones than the pic.
neer women of the Northwest. We
have done the Dragging, but the wom-
en- have done much of the work that
has brought the upbuilding of our land.
They are the salt of the earth. There
good for them.
Over half a century ago a vine was
dug up in the woods and set out in
garden by 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
q 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
c. him who first transplanted this
grape and gave it to a waiting world.
| The grape itself is finer monument
| than any that man can build, but, il
| good old Ephriam Bull had seen moth
ing but money, We might never have
! had the Concord grape.
The Wealthy apple, the pride Of the
Northwest, was not originated for
money. Plant trees for the benefit of
others rather than to fill your own
pocketbook. Such men as Peter eide
on and Ephriam Bull have by their
work benefited you, as we'll as millions
o fothers. Then do your duty as a
man should and pass these benefits on
| to those who will travel the road when
your feet shall be cold and still. You
| may not succeed in doing as much as
these two men, but you can show your
| good will by trying.
