a NEW GEOLOGIC FOLIO.

The area described in the Casselton-
Fargo folio, just published by the
United States Geological Survey, is Of
special importance, as it represents a
typical section across the famous val
ley of the Red River, including a
small extent of prairie upland ON the
west. The Casselton and Fargo quad
rangles embrace portions of Cass,
Richland, and Ransom counties, North
Dakota, and Clay and wilkins coun-
ties, Minnesota. Each quadrangle is
about 341s miles long from north to
south and little less than "a miles
wide from east to west, and together
they have an area of about 1910
square miles. Fargo, which has
population of about 10000 and is the
largest city in North Dakota, is the
center of trade for the Red River
valley. It. is located in the eastern
part of the area, where the main lines
of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railways cross the Red
River into North Dakota.
The water resources of this area
make it especially worthy of study.
1t includes the eastern margin of the
Cretaceous artesian basin, where the
water-bearing formations rise to with
in 200 to 300 feet of the surface. and
yield supplies to numerous flowing
wells. 1t exhibits also Che character
istic features Of the Quaternary artes-
ian we'll areas so frequently found
within the Cretaceous basin in the
Red River valley. Within it are also
found water horizons that yield only
tubular or dug wells, and that con-
stitute the only source of water
supply over large part of eastern
North Dakota and western Minnesota.
The description of these water re.
sources applies to large extent to
the entire area from Bigstone Lake
to the international boundary line.
During the later part of the Glacial
epoch, the Red River valley was a
lake, which has been called the
Glacial Lake Agassiz.. The topo-
graphy OF the region is therefore ex-
ceedingly simple, two-thirds of it be-
ing level plain. The general altitude
Of the level plain is about 900 feet
above tide. The highest part of the
area discussed is in the northwest
corner OF the Casselton quadrangle,
where the elevation is 1900 feet. The
drainage Of these quadrangles is ac-
complished by Red River and its
tributaries the Buffalo on the east
and the Wild Rice, scheyenne, and
Maple on the west.
After describing the general geo.
logy OF the area, Messrs. Charles M.
Hall and Daniel E. Willard. the
authors Of the folio, discuss its soils
and water supply, which are its chief
economic resources.
Probably there are few regions il

A Wise Suggestion

To try to set the farmers organiza-
ton at the rather formidable task of
correcting all the real or supposed
evils of our social system. says the
Country Gentleman, is about as judi
cious a proceeding as if the Methodist
or Presbyterian members or the Repub-
licans or Democrats. for that matter
should want to dragon the whole Or
der into the ranks of their particular
churches or political parties. Let the
grange stand for agriculture and ag-
rieultural interests. ever ready not only
to defend these from attack in any
quarter, but actively to promote every
measure that is for their benefit, at the
polls. in the state and national legisla-
lures and everywhere else. Let it
stand for nothing else and undertake
nothing else. To tackle the job of re-
forming the political. financial and jul
dicial methods of the country is SIM
ply to invite dissensions within the Or
der and ultimately to disintegrate and
ruin it.

The first duty of the farmer is to pro-

and protect his stock and his third to

he works. Most men will do the first,
only few are iemiss in regard to the
second, but there is a raft of sinners
concerning the third. Men go on year

Many of the bank failures of the
west are attributable to the feeding of
cattle for beef, more, it is said, than to
any other one cause, but we have yet
to hear of a single failure either of the
dairyman himself or the bank which
lent him money where the cow took
the place of the steer. Dairying is
about the safest business take it all
around, which any farmer can take up.
The price of butter fluctuates less from
year to year than almost any other

The supreme court of the United
States in its recent decision sustains
the grange contention that palm oil
coloring in oleomargarine subjects it
to the legal tax of 10 cents per pound.
Evasion of the law has proved abor-
tive, and now herculean effort is be-
ing arranged by the oleo people to re-
peal the Law. The grange editor of the
gained agricGlturists should improve
the intervening time in recruiting and
disciplining for a stand by the guns
when the contest opens in earnest.

II GATE FOLK of Missouri en-
n joys Il most enviable position
and 4 most enviable reputa-
ton. The reputation gave him the
position. It is a great honor, especial
~ at his time of life, to be chief magis
trate Of imperial Missouri and to have
achieved that station by faithful and
vigorous discharge of official duties in
another office Already many persons
are thinking speaking and writing of
Governor Folk rs a possible president
in 1908. Far stranger things have hap
pened. TO Il large extent he holds his
destiny in his own hands
LII his inaugural he made one sug-
gestion which has attracted much at
tention and which is well worthy of
consideration 1t is this.
The state is entitled to have each citizen
vote in order that the result of the cleo
tons may be the just sentiment of the
people Of this state. 1t would seem to be
only just that those who do not prize this
privilege enough to exercise it ought to
forfeit it. The knowledge that failure to
vote would disfranchise them and make
them political eunuchs would bring home
to them a realization of it's supreme value.
When corporation obtains a franchise it
is forfeited by nonuse. Apply this prin-
ciple to the privilege of voting and it will
do more than anything else to remedy
the evil of civic indifference that is the
weakness of a republican form of govern
ment.
Does that jar you? Is there any
thing unreasonable in it? Did our
Revolutionary fathers fight and bleed
AHA die that we might stay at home on
election day and neglect our duties ?
10. On the contrary, they fought and
bled and died that we might have an
election day, and we requite their eff
forts and repay their sufferings in a
very shabby manner when we fail to
vote
On the subject of corruption Gov
ernor Folk said:
I have never known legislator to be-
come corrupt deliberately; his intentions
in the beginning are usually good The
moral collapse generally begins through
the seductive siren songs of past masters
in the art of corruption.
The legislator who sells his vote traffics
in the honor of a sovereign people and
prostitutes the trust reposed in him.
There can be no offense which, if allowed
to go on, is fraught with graver conse-
quences. 1t is more fatal to civic life than
any other crime, for it polIutes the stream
of law at its source.
In order to aid in the investigation OF
rumors of corruption laws should be en-
acted compelling witnesses to testify as
to their knowledge of bribery transactions
and exempting such witnesses from prose
cution for any matters directly or indi-
rectly growing out of such testimony.
In investigating legislative corruption
it has been my experience that the first
step legislator takes toward bribery, as
a rule, is the acceptance of railroad pass.
The maintenance of a professional lobby
breeds corruption and should not be per-
mitted. Professional lobbying should be
made crime.
These sentiments will be most heart
lily Endorsed by honest men everywhere
and Of all parties People will watch
with intense interest to see if the gov
ernor can enforce his reform ideas.

The grower of corn can well afford
to put in some of the spare hours of
the winter carefully sorting and select
ing his seed corn. If he will put in a
days work on each half bushel of
seed he will be making more money
than in any days work done during
the whole year. A two-thirds stand of
corn means two-thirds crop. Seed
weak in vitality produces either barren
stalks or Aubbins The man who will
cheerfully pay $3.50 for a bull can well
afford TO apply the same principle with
reference to his seed corn.

A Hard Road.

Hon. Joseph L. Bristow, ex-fourth
assistant postmaster general has found
the reform Jordan decidedly hard
road to travel Joe should have known
that when Republicans talk reform
their words must be taken in Pick
wicllian sense merely that and moth
ing more: but Joseph was Il yerdant
Kansan and thought to render himself
persona gratissima to the Republican
administration by doing a stunt at
genuine reform. BY making that mis-
take he got himself bounced, which
most probably settles his senatorial
hash, as the Jayhawkers will never run
the risk of going hungry by electing to
the senate man who is frowned on by
the powers that be. The Jayhawkers
have fine eye for pap. They propose
to have it, and they do not intend to
take any chances in losing it. Conse-
quently they will be prone to look
askance on Joseph L. when he asks
them to place the Burton toga on his
shoulders. No doubt Mr.. Bristow re-
calls the lines:
If so soon I am done for.
What the deuce was I begun for?
True. the president undertook to
break his fall by giving him more
lucrative job down on the isthmus.
where no doubt the numerous would be
Kansas senators wish he would stay,
but that appointment will fool nobody.
If the president were his friend he
would have retained him as fourth as

We meet every day an old man six
ty-five or more years old. He is COM

ing in marked contrast with his grimy
appearance. while his hands, calloused,
knotty and wrinkled with age, would
separated from him, hardly be recog

we see this old fellow we have become
curious to know how and why it is
that he, so stopped. so infirm, so aged,
so every way seemingly worthy of an
easier lot in life, must needs 50 toll
at his time of life in order to just live,
for it cannot be that any other motive
could possibly prompt him to such
life. Why is he so poor? Who knows?
Has he been denied chance at the
splendid opportunities of this country :?
Is he poorly endowed mentally and in
tellectually? Has he been less wise
than bird or animal, not knowing how
to live? Has some unpreventable mis-
sickness is he just poor in bis old
age because he liked whisky. cards and
devil of Il good time when he was
young and strong? Anyhow his life is
one of the all too common, pitiful trag-
