New County Organized.

Mckenzie county, organized by an
act of the last legislature, and including
in the confines the unorganized coun-
ties of Alfred and Wallace, has almost
a full complement of Offices, but not q
town in the county which might BE-
designated as a county seat. There is
not an attorney in the new county nor q
resident school teacher, and there was
no apportionment' made for states
attorney or superintendent of schools.
Governor Sarles named the first officers
of the county last week. They include:
Commissioners. A. F. Noble. chairman
Frank Banks and J. Il. Shaw; sheriff,
Frank Poe; auditor. B. w. Dimmick
treasurer, g. W. Millham; register OF
of deeds, ,Halvor L. Moe; clerk OF
court. W. s. Graham: probate judge, F.
s.KelloRe; coroner. John G. Wanke;
public administrator. Andrew Mann;
surveyor, William Jensen. The new
county is settled by ranchers. and the
officers are chosen from list submitted
to the governor by the citizene. It will
fall also to the lot of the governor to
locate the county seat but it is not likely
that this will be done until there are
some new townsites opened up in the
territory. The above officers qualified
before county auditor E. M. Atterberry
in this city last Thursday.

This Appointment Astonishing.

This Appointment Astonishing.
Washington, April l9.-The talk re.
garding the extraordinary appoint.
ment of G. E. Grunsky Of California ~
. consu ting engineer Of the rsclama.
ton service will not down. and il con.
gress we're in session the affair would
probably assume the proportions Of Z
public scandal. Mr.. Grunskyu.was
member of the isthmian canal commits.
sion. who was obliged to resign when
President Roosevelt decided upon his
plan OF radical reorganization. As Z
consolation he received the appoint.
ment in the reclamation service.
This service already has at its com.
mand about $50. OOO, 900 for carrying out
federal irrigation projects in the vest
ern states. 1t is necessary to have
good engineers. and a lot of them are
employed by the government in this
work ut moduIa ate salaries. F. II. New.
ell, who has the title of chief engineer
and who is at the head of the reciams.
ton service. under tho superintendent
OF the geological survey, draws aal.
airy of $4,000. There are engineers SUBJ
ordinate to him who receive salaries
ranging from IS a day to s., 500 year.
Mr.. Grunsky, the newly appointed con-
sultinR engineer, receives salary of
$4,000.
The appointment naturally has not
caused q pleasant feeling among the
other officers and employees Of the re-.
clamation service, for the anomalous
situation is presented Of one consult.
ing" engineer receiving a fancy salary.
while several other men having the
same title and presumably similar du.
ties, receive. salaries az low rs $4,000.
Naturally. also, Mr.. Newell. the chief
engineer, must feel somewhat embsr'
raised when giving orders to Mr..
Grunsky. consulting engineer, when no
considers that the California gentle.
man receives a salary two and q bali
times as large 40 his own.
The president fixed Mr.. Gunsky'a
salary, and it is probable that nothing
will be found in tho law to make this
appointment illegal. Tho question ID
being discu ssed. however, OF what par
ticular service Mr.. Grunsky is going to
perform which should entitle him to
a salary four or FIVE times as large %
that of other officers Of the same NOM
inal rank as himself in the reclamation
service,

Irrigation a Great Success.

A great deal is being said and writ
ten. q the present time. regarding the
value OF irrigation for the west and
especially for the western part of North
Dakota. Being resident of this part
OF the state and deeply interested in it,
future welfare, and ss tillsr Of the
soil. ! desire to give my experience
with irrigation in Nesson Valley, Will
liams County, North Dakota. This e.
perienee has extended over period of
sixteen years.
I am satisfied that ifa proper system
OF irrigation is adopted, in time, this
part OF North Dakota will become one
of the most productive portions of our
country. and at the same time there
will only be no decrease but very
large increase in the cattle, horses and
sheep produced by the farmers of this
section. AIN farming several hundred
acres Of land and during the entire
period of sixteen years have not had a
failure where irrigation has been en-
ployed.
Ny method is, in the spring time
before sowing the seed, to so cover the
ground with water that the coil will be
we'll filed to depth of several feet
with moisture. Grain sown upon this
land, aa soon as the surface is dry, will
Immediately terminate and make a
most rapid growth. which in this lati-
tude, with our short seasons, ia an
essential. The moisture furnished by
flooding the ground in the spring time
ensures good supply to continue the
growing thru July and August which is
usually period of more or less drought.
Under these conditions I have usually
secured a full average crop while the
unirrigated lands about US have usually
produced less than half a crop.
Thousands of acres Of land, in my
judgement, in western North Dakota.
can be made to produce enormous crops
of gram, grass aud vegetables by means
of irrigation, and this can be done at 4
reasonable expenditure in putting in
the plant for irrigation.
The cost of maintaining my bitches,
drains, etc. and in putting the water on
the land does not exceed each year
seventy five cents per acre, and this
can be considerably reduced as larger
area is irrigated by the same plant.
This does not include, Of course, the
fret cost of putting in the plant.
Having observed the benefit to be
derived from irrigation, I would urge
each and every farmer in western North
Dakota to urge upon their representa-.
tives in Congress the Importance Of
having an extensive and proper system
of irrigation adopted and put in opera
ton as early as possible. I consider the
irrigation proposition as one of the most
important before the people Of our state
at the present time, and that the gen.
erals adoption Of irrigation will result in
greatlgood for our state and fu, nish new
bones for thousands of settlers.-H. A.
Nelson, Hofflund, N. D.. in North
Dakota Farmer.

it can be cured is, there fore, a bold
