ties of Wheat.

The last session of the legislature
enacted a law providing for the cree
ton of a testing plant at the agricul-
tural college and the testing of wheat
to determine its milling value and
bread making properties. The machine
has been received and is now being
installed.
Senator Young was the father of the
bill and it is aimed at the abuse by
elevator companies of undertaking
the milling and bread making proper
ties Of wheat and depressing the mar
at the agricultural college to which
farmers or anyone else can send their
wheat and have it analized. They will
then be able to meet the elevator COM
panies half way in making the price:
Farmers are urged to send their
wheat samples to President Worst
from all over the state in order that
thorough tests may be made of the
last year crop as we'll as the new crop.
Senator Young recently received let
ter from President Worst and he thus
ipterprets the law:
We intend to conduct an investiga-
ton along the lines as laid down in the
act OF the legislature for 1905, also to
extend our investigations much farther
in the development of new strains of
wheat adapted for North Dakota condi-
tons to produce the highest grade of
-four; to make investigations of wheat
as found in our various elevators as
grown upon the demonstration farms
and substations in the state, and in CO.

quainted with the study of wheat,
wheat breeding and the milling pro-
perties of wheat. This course would
be designed specially to fit young men
to take charge of elevators. and also
for running -four mills.

Congress.
Associated Press to The Evening Tlmes.
Boise. Idaho, Sept. Con Tuesday
when the National Irrigation Congress
assembled, U. S. Senator Carter of
Montana again presided.
DR.. ElwoOd Meade Of the government
reclamation service, spoke of the "evo-
luton of irrigation institutions" deal
ing with the steady development from
absolute private ownership of small
water rights into a great system of
community and government owner
ship.
Some startling statistics were pre-
sented by Prof. Samuel Fortier of the
university of California, in an address
dealing with the loss of eater through
waste. He made the assertion that in
the western states $50 600, 900 were ex-
pended annually in securing and dis
tributing water for irrigation, and that
OF this water thus distributed, fully
rs per cent was wasted, causing a
net loss to the people of the western
states or more than $35,O00,00O. He
expressed the opinion. however, that
all Of this loss could not be prevented,
though he believed that fully 10 per
cent of this enormous loss could be
saved.
Alexander Mcpherson of Twin Falls,
Idaho, told Of experiments on a 40
acre farm at Twin Falls on which are
grown fifty different kinds of crops.
His experiments, he said, had demon
strated the correctness of Prof. Fort
ier's theory of losses through excess
sive irrigation. He stated that total
of 36 inches of water wa supplied to
the farm during the year, and of this
amount he estimated n ITO per cent

Special to The Evening Times.
Fargo, N. D., Sept George Losey
was held to the federal grand jury
after hearing before United States
Commissioner Montgomery yesterday
on a charge Of completely in the Lis
bon postofice robbery.
The evidence against Losey was cir
cumstantial but, 1t is claimed, much
positive evidence of his guilt will be
presented to the federal grand jury
when the case is Investigated.
The testimony against Losey at the
hearing this morning was in effect that
he had been seen near the postoface
on the night of the robbery and that
on the day following the robbery he
had been hiding. He was discovered
by the sheriff in the baseball park at
Lisbon and his actions indicated that
he feared discovery. He was under
pile of lumber.
Commissioner Montgomery fixed
Losey's bonds at $4,000, which the ac-
cused was not able to furnish.
L0sey has long been under suspicion
for different offenses. He has served

visit to his Richland county farm.
He reports crop conditions in that Sec

'On my farm the harvesting re-
suited in a yield of about seventeen
bushels of wheat to the acre." said
Marshal Shea. 1T was expected that
the yield would be fully twenty-three
bushels.
The political outlook is the most
interesting topic Of discussion in

'holier than thou fellows are danger

books are in grave danger when one
of that class comes around.
Just now in Richland county the
people are especially stirred up over
an expose of a printing graft in which
county official is alleged to have
been implicated. l am informed on
very good authority that there are
Likely to b. similar exposes of county
officials in eleven other counties in
the state.
1T appears that these county Off
Gals have been in the habit of ac-
cepting trade discounts from certain
printeries and putting the discount in
to their own jeans. thereby robbing
the county and taking the work out
of the county.
THE county newspapers are de-
serving of the support Of the citizens
of the county and when these trade

the country editor who directly suf-
fers. l have always noticed that the
country newspapers are needed in pol

in clean politics. But the same is

SAYS GAME is SPECTACULAR.

AS a result of the laboratory test of
the 1907 brand of football, in progress
at Ann Arbor. in which Coach Yost
himself, Dan McGugin, Willie Heston,
king" Cole, Longman, Curtis and a
number of the other leading lights of
the University Of Michigan football,
past and present have taken part,
Coach Yost expressed himself as fol-
lows:
1.-The football of 1906 will be
pretty game to watch and fascinat-
ing one in possibilities from the play
ing standpoint. To my mind, the rush
ing style of game, alternated with the
ne wone-side kick, will prevail. The
forward pass will be a great aid to
such plays as wingshifts back of the
line, but, when used past the line of
scrimmage, will be mankiller. The
man receiving the pass will be in poor
position to protect himself. as he will
be compelled to look over his shoulder
to watch the ball and will be a sure
and unprotected mark for the tack
ler." Yost announces that his ends
will be big. heavy men. and that one
of them will be Curtis, his star tackle
in past years, a man who weighs over
200 pounds. This will enable him to
pull Curtis back for interference
which would be practically impossi-
BILE were the player in any other po-
sition. On plays where fast man is
needed, Curtis will be switched to
halfback.

agement he received led him to throw
up medicine and enter the literary
ranks. His home allowance was cut
of and the young dramatist had hard
time Of it for some years. But it was
merely the darkness that comes before
the dawn. The success of "Candfde"
and "Pattes de Mouche" opened the
doors of all theaters to him. and from

browns Himself in MOnongahela.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 6.-Rather than
be the mascot of the Milvale baseball
team, which was defeated by Etna on
Wednesday, large st. Bernard dog
deliberately committed suicide.
Ordinarily the Milvale team wins,
and the dog has been used to victory.
Every time the team won he is de-
clared to have shown signs of having
been tickled nearly to pieces. But it
was different Wednesday.
When the dog saw how things were
going in that game he took sneak in
the latter half of the ninth inning and
refused to look anyone in the face.
Nothing could be done to break his
spell of dependency, and finally, as if
to end his misery, he made a dash last
evening for the Allegheny river, dived
into the water and has never been seen
since.
The dog was owned by Arthur Cos
nell, member Of the Milvale team.
