the Sungari bridge is vital to the sal

not fordable below Kirin, and once
the line of the river is passed and
the bridge blown up. the Japanese
pursuit will be efectually checked. At
the same time the second army is
falling back on the line of the rail-
road, while the irst ana third, with
the transports, are retreating along
the Mandarin roiN to Kirin, both de-

Jules Nerne was born at Nantes.
France, in 1928. He studied law both
at home and in Paris, but never prac-
ticed. In leisure hours he began writ
ting pieces for the stage, and in 1863
his first work. Five Weeks in a Bal

style employed in that romance was
so successful that others in similar
vein followed. and his series of mar

! almost household word. His best
known works are: 10000 Leagues

An unsuccessful attempt on his life
was made in 1856. In 1890 he publish
ed his last books. "A Family Without
Name" and The Purchase of the
North Pole"
One of the most affecting incidents

ber of letters and kilograms from chill

admiration in which the author was
held. His works have been trans
lated into many languages.

The returns of the Fourth of July
have begun to come in in the way Of
lost eyes, MANNED hands, split fingers
and other results Of carelessness in
celebrating. Several states have
passed laws prohibiting the use Of
giant crackers, which is a combination
of dynamite and sudden death too
dangerous to be unfortunately sold.
1t is noticed, however, that where it is
impossible to purchase giant fire
crackers, enthusiastic ceIebrants have
purchased gun powder by the whole
sale. and In setting of this high ex-
plosiye, many accidents have occurred.
The trouble seems to be that In our
enthusiasm we are no longer content
to show our patriotism with little or
a succession Of little noises, but must
have some immense noise at each ex-
plosion. This leads to the use of gum
powder, giant crackers. dynamite and
other death producing agencies, and
the result Is apparently a large in

According to the state census ju

According to the state census just
completed in Fargo, the official popu-
lation of that city is fixed at 1858.
The population in 1900 was shown to
be $3.50, the gain being 1919 or 1914
per cent. Grand Forks shows popu-
lation of 1927, against 1852 in 1900,
or PATS, gain of 80 per cent. OF
course, the percentage of increase in
these two cities cannot be figured as
the increase in the population of the
whole state. Nevertheless it is safe
to say that if the census of the state
is carefully and completely taken, the
total figures for 1905 will not be far
from half million against little over
100000 in 1900.

1t is to be regretted that another
United States senator in the person of
John H. Mitchell of Oregon, has been
found guilty of practices prohibited by
the federal statutes in the acceptance
of pecuniary compensation for practic-
ing before the federal department at
Washington. With the influence and
standing that attaches to the position
of United States senator, it will be
readily seen hat it would be extremely
subversive of the best interests of
the people if United States senators
were allowed to engage in private
practice before departments. How far
a United States senator may go in the
prosecution of private claims in the
various departments of the govern
ment is largely a matter for his own
conscience, but that he should accept
pay from private persons for present
ing claims is very wisely forbidden by
the law.

The conviction of Frederick Neuren-
berger in the United States court at
Fargo, charged with defrauding the
government by getting old soldiers to
file on lands for his benefit, and other
cases that have been brought and are
still pending charging various persons
with land Office frauds, should do much
towards discouraging other persons
who think it a matter of shrewdness
and personal benefit and not at all a
criminality to obtain valuable lands
by cheating the government and MAX
ing no particular effort to comply with
the land laws. Government lands in
North Dakota are daily becoming more
valuable, but the government places
no additional value on them, its only
insistence being that they shall be
filed upon by bona tide residents who
intend to live upon and cultivate the
land and make it a homestead. 1t is
to the interest of the state of North
Dakota to see that the land office
frauds are discouraged, and wherever
a head shows up that is intent upon
fraud it should be hit and hit hard.

The Great Northern has a new town
at the terminus of the Towner branch
in the celebrated Mouse river loop, to
be known as Maxbass. 1t is of course
named after Max Bass, the immigra.
ton agent of that railroad. Working
under the direction of Great Northern
officials, no one has done more to bring
new settlers into Great Northern coun-
try than this same Max Bass, who was
at one time in the immigration depart,
ment of Dakota territory. It is fitting
that his name should be perpetuated in
the Great Northern's new town.

COLEHARB Dor.

Miner contained misleading item re-
garding the new town of Coleharbor

500 extension-probably unintentional
but misleading just the same. In
substance it intimated that the so
called new town of Coleharbor was a
myth and not likely to be built-was
plated without authority of the 500,
etc. Now as matter of fact the new
town of Coleharbor is a 500 town and
was plated away back in April and
approved by Mr.. Pennington, general
manager of the road, who also located
an elevator which has since been built
and two others are also to be erected
this season. This is the town that

GOOD WORDS FOR IRRIGATION.

Hon. Alex. Mckenzie look occasion
to reiterate the statements already
made to the Tribune with respect to
the success of irrigation in North Da-
kota: Mr.. Mckenzie says there is no
truth in the report from Washington
that on account of the failure of the
people of North Dakota to give the
right of way for the construction of
irrigation bitches in the vicinity Of
Bismarck, Buford and Trenton, the de-
partment of the interior has with
drawn approximately 100000 set
apart for the work out of the national
irrigation fund.
In reply to question as to this report
and the status of the irrigation project
in North Dakota, Mr.. Mckenzie said:
"The report that the irrigation pro-
ject in the vicinity of Bismarck has
been Abandoned is mistake. I have
just returned from trip through the
belt which it is proposed to irrigate.
Mr.. Savage, chief engineer in charge
of the work, has informed us what it
Is necessary to do. We have secured
the right of way from the owners of
enough land to insure the success of
the project.
THE statement that Senator Hans
brough has had a falling out with the
administration at Washington over the
question of irrigation is equally wide
of the mark. All the government off,
Gals connected with the irrigation
work, Mr.. Hitchcock, Mr. Newell and
Others, have been very fair.
president Roosevelt knows the
need of irrigation in the northwest as
well as any man in the United States
and SO long as he is at the head of
this government we need have no fear
as to what the northwest will get.
'The status of the irrigation project
in North, Dakota is thus: The people
who have settled in the district which
it is proposed to irrigate have had
nothing to do with irrigation They
have come from countries where irri-
cation has not been necessary. Con-
sequently, it has taken some time to-
educate the people to the benefits Of
irrigation. 1t has taken time to con-
vince them of the necessity of their
giving the right of way for the con-
struction of the irrigation plants.
But we have accomplished this in
spite of the difficulties. More than
three-fourth Of the owners of the land
which it is proposed to irrigate have
given the right of way. We propose
to take those who have not signed in a
car to Billings and other points in
Montana, where irrigation is in prac-
tical operation, and to show them how
It is done, what is the cost and what
profit is derived from irrigation. AZ
ter we have done this, 1 believe that
all the owners in the proposed district
will sign up but we have enough
signers now to insure the success of
the project.
This will mean a great deal to the
northwest and to the Twin Cities. To
irrigate semi-arid lands by pumping is
new thing, but it has been demon
strated that it is feasible. We can
place fuel at the plants at $3.50 ton
and there is plenty of water in the
Missouri river at the time when irri-
cation is needed. The snow from the
mountains comes down in June and
in the early part of July, and today
the Missouri river Is higher than it
was at any time during the spring"
