the land is comparatively cheap will
cost probaly fifteen to eighteen hum
tlred dollars. 1t will have on it the
usual improvements to be found on a
claim which, while small. are decidedly
costly. The land will be broken so
that crops can be raised at once. The
cash payment would be about the same
as the cost OF locating and filing on a
claim and building a residence. The
time required to hold the residence
would be worth not far from thous
and dollars. and this with the cost of
the improvements makes nearly as
large an amount as the cost of a deed
ed quarted. On the latter the crops
would in a couple of years pay the
balance of the purchase money and
in the meantime the land will have in
creased in value fully as much in pro-
portion to the cost as the homestead
would have done.
There are no uncertainties about the
decided farm and the owner always has
a marketable property which does not
have to await the coming of the rail-
road or the location of the townsite to
get it in the market.

PRIMARY EVIDENCE.

There are abundant evidences that
know the importance of Grand Forks
as a distributing point are the ones
who are giving the most substantial
proof of their faith in the same. The
International Harvester company is
building in this city the largest ware
house in the entire northwest at a
cost OF thousands of dollars.
The concern is doing this for their
own financial good, for it is peculiar
ity that the modern corporation is not
engaged very extensively in business
as public philanthropists. Another
thing worth considering in this par
ticular is that the harvester trust is
not so very much interested in the de-
velopment of trade for the reason that
having monopoly of the harvester
machinery and that being an absolute
essential to the farmers of this coun-
try, the trust is in position to secure
it all without making any effort
1t is clear then that the warehouse
in this city is being erected merely
because cold blooded facts show that
the company will need it in handling
their business at this point The COM
pany is familiar with the conditions
at the present time as we'll as in pos-
session of the facts upon which can
be based decidedly reasonable esti-
mate of what the demand for machine
ry to be supplied from this point will
be in the future.
The only evidence it has given the
public Of this information is that de-
Quoted from the size of the building
which it is erecting in the city. That
indicates that this will be the largest
distributing point for farm machinery
in the entire northwest. If the great
est distributor in farm machinery finds
1t to its interest to distribute its ma
terial from this point, there would
seem to be no reason why other lines of
business would not find it the same.
1t is a matter of dollars to the harvest
er company, and the dollars must be
found in the lower freights which on
the whole are available from this point.

With a perseverance that under
other conditions might be commend
able the Herald never misses an op-
portunity of reiterating that it will be
doing business at the old stand long
after The Evening Times has ceased to
be. In this it may possibly be correct,
but if so its business" will not con-
sist mainly in, as heretofore, looting
the state treasury and robbing con-
filling widows and orphans. What the
future may have in store for this paper
is OF small interest, but the public can
be counted upon to remember that, in
the event that the Herald forsakes the
paths of extortion and venality and,
perforce, in the course of time becomes
an honest. respectable journal, it will
be simply because of the fact that The
Evening Times, by its exposure of the
Herald's corruptness and double-deal-
ing. shall have forced It to do SO.

in connection with them it has been
found that with the use of mantle
burner, something like that used with
Illuminating gas, the alcohol produces
Il light superior to that of either kero-
sene or gasoline, being much more
mellow and nearer the quality of sun
light.
The burning produces no offensive
odOr, is much safer. as water will en-
tinguish alcohol at once if burning.
and according to the tests made is
cheaper even at double the price of
kerosene.
One of the lamps which has been
proven by experiment to produce the
best results is not much unlike an
ordinary kerosene lamp in appear
ance. The principle is altogether diff
ferent. however. as it contains a gas
generating chamber which is located
between the fluid and the flame. The
liquid is burned more on the principle
or ordinary gas than on that of kero-
sene.
The mantel has soft though
strong radiance that is agreeable to
the eyes. while at the same time suf-
ficiently penetrating to light up every
portion of an ordinary room brilliant
ly. The lamps it is said will not cost
more than the ordinary kerosene ones
and will last lifetime.
This is one of the things which will
in time reduce the cost OF oil products
SO that they will be within the reach
OF the average man who is compelled
to use them or some substitute. 1t
will strike the hardest blow ever re-
ceived by the Standard Oil company,
and the general adoption OF the new
lamps will materially assist in bring
ing the price of kerosene to fair
basis.

OUR FUEL SUPPLY.

1t is belief that the average real
estate man never neglects thing in
his advertisements which will attract
attention to the portion of the country
he represents The belief is not found
ed on facts.
Readers of the circulars issued by
the real estate dealers of this state
would look in vain in them to find
any mention of the opportunity of
securing fuel in the state at cost but
little in advance CT that paid b. the
people of the east.
The early settlers CT this and prob
ably of other northwestern states
hesitated long before accepting what
they knew was the opportunity of their
lives to make money in the new coun-
try because the suffering of the long
winters with the mercury sufficiently
low to brighten even the bravest which
could only be alleviated by the fuel
which must be transported half across
the continent from the coal fields of
Pennsylvania. 1t seemed a useless eff
fort to have the years income of the
farm consumed in the fuel necessary
to keep from freezing in the winter.
Not one person in a hundred who
would come to this state to make their
homes, and who live east of Chicago,
know that the coal fields of North Da-
kota rival in area those of Alabama,
and that sufficient fuel to keep the in
habitants of the northwest comfortable
for centuries lies hidden beneath the
surface of the wealth-producing soil
of this state.
This is one OF the things which the
boomers of North Dakota have sadly
neglected and one which has in all
probability kept hundreds of indus
trious though timid immigrants from
our borders. The Ignite supply of
North Dakota is one of the greatest
advantages the people of the west have,
and the fact that We can secure the
fuel to keep us warm almost at our
own doors should be strong induce
ment in bringing the prospective
settlers to favorable conclusion in
behalf of North Dakota for home.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE WORK.

The State Agricultural college at
Fargo opens its doors for the scholas-
tic year next Monday. and the pros
poets are bright for the best year in
its history. 1t should be so, for the
value OF this institution to the state is
just beginning to be appreciated by
the masses of the people,
Some criticism has been made of the
higher educational institutions OF the
state, including the Agricultural COL
lege. because their courses overlap in
some places and one is doing the work
which properly belongs to another
There may be some foundation for
this in fact. but so long as they are
fitting the boys and girls of the state
for the avocations which they are to
fill in life there need be little fear
from the point indicated. 1t may serve
as a ground for friendly rivalry among
the several institutions but it will
never retard the work of any.
The Agricultural college is in a class
somewhat by ITSELF 1t is especially
charged with the work of educating
the boys for the farm-of developing
in them spirit which will keep them
on the farms, and to give them COM
prehension of the dignity and import
ance of the profession of agriculture.
Here is where the critics of the college
sometimes fail to comprehend the real
scope of its work.
The boy who desires to qualify HIM
self for practical farmer desires at
the same time to have such a mental
training that he will be more than
farmer-he desires to be a scholar in
the broadcast sense of the term. He
naturally wants to know the principles
OF the sciences which concern his
chosen avOcation, but he wants that
general information which gives to him
a broadness of mind and an intellectu-
al culture.
His college years are too few to per-
nit his spending the required number
In an agricultural college and then 60
ing elsewhere to acquire his literary
training. 1t is for this reason that the
agricultural colleges everywhere have
adopted the plan. where they are not
affiliated with some university, of CIV
ing with the agricultural courses such
a general education that the student
may go out into the world with thor
ough and comprehensive education.
Colleges have awakened to the fact
that the boy who studies stock in the
stables of the agricultural college is
not thereby disqualified from studying
Horace and Homer or solving the mys-
teries of trigonometry and calculus.
To the Agricultural college is there
fore committed the task of educating
the young men and women of this state
for the work of the farm in all it's
phases and at the same time of SO sur
rounding and embellishing that edu-
cation with a classical one that the
students who go out from its walls will
be thoroughly educated in the highest
sense. 1t has done this before and the
men and women in charge of its de-
partments are a guarantee that it will
do SO again.
