DRAINAGE is HARD
Government Expert Considers
the Red River Valley
Globe Special Washington Service


WASHINGTON, March %. = The
valley of North Dakota has recently
been taken up in earnest by govern
ment experts, and the opinion now is
that a large area which is now either
useless or greatly impaired in value
can be made highly productive at mod
crate expense. = This. is by far the
most important problem for the farm
ers Of the Red river valley. Westward
from the Red river. to the Maple river
in distance of fifteen miles there is
difference of only three feet in eleva--
ton. This is probably the "fattest'
country anywhere in the world, and
drainage is therefore a difficult prob
lem.
Thomas A Caine. who recently
made a soil survey of the region around
Fargo for the agricultural department,
believes, however, that drainage is
practicable. There are about 25,000
acres of land in the area covered by
the survey upon which the water from
the melting snow often does not run off
or soak into the ground soon enough
to permit seeding at The proper time in
the spring The subsoil is heavy, gum
my and impervious TO water. This, to-
SSlHST Will the IdCI lIldl the ITOSI line
is from five to eight feet below the
surface, would make undertakings
very difficult, If not impossible. Some
of the farmers in ethe Red river valley
mud in" their cRaps; otherssare not
able to do even this, the land being so
soft that il rs notssafe 20 dsSve teams
over it. =
Heavy rains in the spring produce
wet condition of the farms which is
often not. overcome in. time 10 permit
planting. sThissis asl> specially serious
matter, when il is considered that the
crop season in North Daketasis a short
one at the best. Speaking further on
the subject Of drainage, Mr.. Caine
says:
There are several causes for the present
unfavorable condition of drainage in the
Red river valley. The principal ones
are the leyelueSS or the e~cOuntry and the
lack of fail in the Red river itself 1t
should be kept in mind, too, that the
river flows north, and consequently the
difference In time when the ice breaks
up in its lower and its upper courses
tends to hold the water back Another
thing which checks the flow of the stream
is the crookedness of its channel AS a
result the river rises. backs up its trib-
utaries and frequently the latter over
flow their banks and food the fields
In the opinion of Mr. Cafne a good
deal of good could be done. by bitches
to straighten the channel. of. the Red
river so that the flow of-water may not
be retarded. He thinks also that lat
eral bitches would accomplish a good
deal in the way of drainage, but that
the whole project would be so ex-
pensive as to require state or national
aid. Waiter E. Clark. I

the press dispatch by these officials
tends to confirmation OF the opinion
that tentative proceedings have been
begun, or at least more is known than
is admitted. All movements leading
up to the commencement of actual ne
gotiations have been concealed under
such an appearance of ignorance and
credulity that even those in the
closest confidence of the highest per-
sonages have been deceived. The St
Petersburg dispatch referred to says:
THE information regarding the
change in Emperor Nicholas attitude
concerning the advisability of making
a pacific proposal to Japan is fully
confirmed, and in very high quarters
peace within six weeks is regarded as
certain. The positiveness with which
this is affirmed would indicate that
the government is already in possess
sion sof information as to the Japanese
terms, which indicate a basis to which
Russia can agree. The exact situation
is shrouded in mystery. The secret Of
what has been done and what is being
done rs zealously guarded 70 Ii is re-
ported, however, from a source close
to the throne that pourparlers are ac-
tually in progress in Paris, but proba-
bly, only of a preliminary character and
that Copenhagen may be the scene of
the first exchanges between repre-
sentatives of the two powers" --

WHAT SULPHUR DOES
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease

The mention of sulphur will recall to

mothers and grandmothers gave US our

blood purifier" tonic and cure-au and
mind YOU. this old-fashioned remedy was
rot without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy was
crude and unpalatable. and a large guam
tity had TO be taken TO get any effect
Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef-
fects of sulphur in palatable. concen-
trated form, so that a single grain Is far
more effective than a tablespoonful OF
the crude sulphur
In recent years research and expert
ment have proven that the best SULPHUR
for medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and sold In
drug stores under the name OF Stuart's
Calcium Waters. They are small choco-
late coated pellets and contain the active
medicinal principle OF sulphur in a highly
concentrated. effective form.
Few people are aware OF the vaiue Of
this form Of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health: sui
phur acts directly on the liver, and excre-
tory organs and purifies and enriches the
blood by the prompt elimination of waste
material
our grandmothers knew this when they
dosed US with sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall. but the crudity and inn
purity OF ordinary flowers OF sulphur vera

compare with. the modern concentrated
Calcium Waters Is undoubtedly the hes.
and most widely used
They are the natural antidote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipation
and purify the blood IN a way that often
surprises patient and physician alike
DR. R NJ. Wilkins while experiruentino
with sulphur remedies soon found that
the sulphur from Calcium was SUPERIOR

MORALES INSISTS
ON AMERICAN AID
Dawson Concludes Agreement
for Administrator of
Customs

SANTO DOMINGO, March 25.-
Statements published in the United
States that diplomats here and fiscal
agents of foreign governments who are
creditors of Santo Domingo have
reached settlement of the financial
questions are premature. Some for
eign governments, especially Italy, are
taking advantage of the deferring of
the ratification of the convention be-
tween Santo Domingo and the United
States to press their claims.
In order to meet the situation it has
been proposed by the Dominican gov
eminent that an American be desig-
mated as commissioner for the COL
lection of all customs dues at south
ern ports, 45 per cent of such collec-
tions being set apart for the expenses
or the government and 55 per cent, less
expenses of collecting, being deposited.
IN an American bank until theSanchez-
Dillingham; convention is either ratified
or rejected; should the convention be
ultimately rejected, the money to be
divided in just proportion among all
creditors, including the Santo Domin-
go Improvement company of New
York. 1t is also suggested that the
American government take charge of
the customs houses at Sanchez and
Samar, under the arbitration award in
the Santo Domingo Improvement case
1t is understood the improvement
company, claiming prior rights, de-
mands that 55 per cent of the moneys
collected at the northern ports be also
deposited in an American bank to
await the final disposition of the con-
ventionss 1t is doubtful if such a propo-
sition viii be accepted. Thus far Moth
ing has been decided. The government
is desirous of some agreement being
reached in order to prevent difficulties
with European creditors which might
lead to intervention.
Roosevelt Likes the Plan
WASHINGTON, March 25.=Renew-
ed interest in Santo Domingo affairs
was manifested in official circles today
upon the. receipt of cablegram from
Minister Dawson indicating that he
had effected with the Dominican gov
ernment a tentative agreement, which
temporarily at least would adjust sat-
fsfactorily the fiscal conditions of the
island government. 1t is of the ma
ture set forth In the Santo Do
mingo press dispatch. 1t Is init
mated strongly that President Roose-
welt would receive such a proposition
with favor, although in entering into
the agreement Minister Dawson acted
without specific instructions and en-
tirely upon his own initiative.

Many of the warehouse men OF
South Dakota arc not complying
with the state law which requires
them to publish in local papers
their schedule of rates for storage
of grain during the year corimenc
ing Sept. Z; 1905. Their failure
to comply with the law doubtless
is due to an oversight or to the
fact that they deem the law a
dead letter and not subject to en-
forccmcnt. This is a mistake, as
il Is the duty of the railroad com.
missions of South Dakota to see
that the provisions of the law are
enforced to the letter. The law
requiring the publication of the
schedule is a strict one. The IL
eenses of warehouse men who fail
to comply with its provisions can
be revoked, and in addition can
be prosecuted. and If found guilty
of violating the law, can be deem
ed guilty of a misdemeanor and
subject to a fine of from SIoo to
1000 as well as imprisoned one
year. When informed of this,
those who thus far have failed to
publish their schedule of rates.
doubtless will take immediate
steps to comply with the law
