NORTH DAKOTA DISPLAY
Grains and Grasses Make Splendid
Showing for State.

North Dakota has a fine exhibit Of
it's agricultural products in Agricul-
tural hall. It is of more perman ent
character and better arranged than the
ordinary exhibits, and will be taken
from here to fairs in Illinois, Indiana
and Wisconsin. A number Of state Of
fcials accompany the display, among
them w. S. Gilbreath, commissioner Of
agriculture, and R. F: Flint, assistant
The space allotted to North Dakota
is entirely too small for all the prod
ucts the state has to display, and only
one-haf of the things taken along are
shown here. - It has been deemed best
to show only the grains and grasses this
week. "a tr-.t-

in the flickertail state, Is shown here

fine, both as to length of stalk and

No booth in the agricultural hall is
equal in effectiveness to the display
made by the Minneapolis Market Gar

only shown by the plate. s.:
The display is arranged on a steep

from which all manner Of vegetables
pour out in plenty. At either end are
flower stands made of vegetables such
as carrots and beets, cunningly put to-

signed by Mrs. Frank Gibbs, and this

CATTLE SALE ON
Sixty Blooded Herefords Put on Auction

The Judges Of cattle began their work
today. Herefords and Shorthorns were
the first to receive attention. There are
about one hundred and fifty of the lat

the former. The. Shorthorn judges are
Martin Flynn Of Des Moines, Iowa; H.
G. Duncan of Osborn, Mo-, and Thomas
Minneapolis and Thomas Mortimer of
Madison, Neb., are the judges of the
Herefords.
The annual Hereford sale began at
pm. today. At least sixty head will
be sold, all Of high registration. The
sale is under the auspices Of the Ma
tional Hereford association. r5
The judges Of the Hereford and
shorthorn divisions had difficult time
because Of the large number Of entries
in every competition and particularly
by reason Of the high class of all the
animals. The officers of the national as
ISOLATION say that the Minnesota fairs
can compare favorably with the best
Hereford and Shorthorn exhibits in the
country, and are considered by the best
breeders in the country as national ex-

herds contain some Of the finest cattle

is all that the breeder can ask to see.

NEW LAND DISTRICT BILL
Untah reservation and Untah County Comprise the Proposed
District and the Land Office Is to Be Located at
vernaI, Uintah County.

Kearns land district bill. which was
prevented from passing the senate by
SnoOt objection, are as follows:
The description of the land district
proposed by the bill is imperfect as it
gives the north boundary as the 4Ist
standard parallel when 1t was probably
intended to say the 41st degree north
latitude; the west boundary is given as
the Nth meridian, which is a line not
marked on the ground and il would be
impossible to determine in which land
district any land was which lay in the
vicinity where this meridian is drawn
on the map. In addition this meridian
cuts on a portion of the Uintah reser-
WALTON from the new district and leaves
II in Salt Lake district which would
make it difficult to open the reserve in
the manner proposed. 1t appears that
the boundary of the proposed district
which would be most convenient for
settlers would be one which would in
clude only the Uintah reserve and
Uintah county"
