new Land DISTRICT

A Washington dispatch says: Sen
ator. Hansbrough received a telegram
from the mayor of Mimot about mass
meeting protesting against the pas
sage of a bill creating new land dis
trict in western North Dakota, with
headquarters at Williston. The SEN
ator has replied to this letter to the
effect that the proposed bill has the
endorsement of the commissioner of
the general 1andofice and the secre-
tary of interior as being in the inter
est of settlers in that section of the
state. Under present conditions,
some settlers have to drive many
mics overland to reach the landoffice
at Minot, where proof has ito be made
when there is any question raised as

published in an office adjoining that
of the commission and depending for
it's existence upon advertisements
from food manufacturers and dealers.
% Commissioner Jones was ready with
an explanation of the failure Of the
Illinois food commission, with it's
$4,000 appropriation, to do as much
or as effective work as the commits
sion of North Dakota with $1,000
appropriation. MIR. Jones asserted
that Commissioner Laddj Of North Da-
kota had five chemists and that Illi-
nois had only two. Mr.. Jones argued
that Mr.. Ladd had all of the chemists
of the government agricultural expert
ment station to aid him in his an
alyses of glucose jelly and other food
products dyed with coal tar, and
maple sugar manufactured from cane
syrup. Commissioner LaddSs report,
however, states that the tests were
made by himself.

DISCUSSION OF Pure
FOOD ENFORCEMENT

{ Apropos to the pure food discussion
in congress and the exposure made
by The Chicago Tribune, alleging that
the Illinois pure food commission was
blocking and opposing the bills, intro
duced in congress, because it would
place the. analysis of foods under fed
era1 control and put the state ap-
pointed chemists out of business.
After the exposure Governor Deneen
sent for his state food commissio Toner,
"a. III. Jones, and the two had long
and serious talk in Chicago last
Thursday afternoon. Governor De-
&neen wanted light on certain grave
charges that had been made against
/ the commission and Mr.. Jones ex-
planned them to the best of his ability.
He had q good deal to- say about the
inadequacy Of the law and the, j" y
of sufficient inspectors. -
It is understood that the governor
asked COMMISSIONS Jones to explain
the charges that the Illinois food
commission is opposing national food
legislation, and expressed a desire to
know whether the commission is be.

The new district embraces all of
Williams county, parts of Mckenzie
immediately south of the Missouri
river, and part of Ward county. AS
first presented, the bill provided that
the EASTERN boundary should be the
line between ranges 80 and &c. AS
reported to the senate, it provides
that the eastern boundary from the
Canadian line to the 18th standard
parallel, shall be the line between
ranges So and 81, running east, along
the 18TH parallel to the hines between
ranges 80 and SO, thence south to the
18th standard parallel, thence west to
the western boundary of the state.
This change leaves about twelve

basement Of the new library which
are being fitted up for the exclusive
use of the literary societies will be
turned over to the societies the first

President Worst spent January %
at Minot where he delivered an adj

Professors Shepherd and Richards
attended the meeting of the North
Dakota Live Stock association at Val.
ley City. Owing to the storm they
were snow-bound most of the first
day at Wheatland and did not reach
Valley @ty till night. DR.. Van Els
accompanied them but returned from
Wheatland without completing the
journey. A rousing meeting was
held, the attendance being about $50,
and several new members were ad-
mitted to the association. It has now
200 members. Prof. W. B. Richards
was elected secretary and the officers
for the ensuing year are: President,
G. F. Massingham, Mandan; vice
president, W. W. Brown, Armenia;
secretary, W. b. Richards, agricultural
college, treasurer, George Clark, Bot

{ Col. Harris and Joe Wing of Chi
cago, the latter with the Breeders
Gazette, were both present and de-
livered interesting addresses. Mr..
Wing expects to visit the college on
his return to Chicago.
Considerable discussion was made
regarding tuberculosis and the breed
ers evidenced a disposition to clean
the matter up by a plan similar to the
one Instituted at the recent auction
sale held by the association, that is
for each breeder in making a private
sale to furnish with the animals a
certificate from a veterinarian guar
anteeing the animal to be free from
the disease. Mr.. Wing was especial
" favorable to this plan and com
.mended it highly. 5.@.

#eral trips for the stock judging
classes to some of the well known
stock farms. The trips will be made
for the purpose Of better acquainting
the students with good animals and
also to give them some idea Of meth

Messrs. Massingham and Cosgrove,
we'll known Hereford breeders of Man
dan, have donated two splendid steer
calves to Professor Richards for the
institution. They are typical speci-
mems of the breed and thanks is due
the donors, who in desiring to assist
the work at the college evidence not
only their own confidence in it but
that of the state breeders as we'll.
The steers are to be fitted for ex-
Inhibition and also for work in the
class room. Several who have in
spected the animals pronounce them
excellent. ,..
Mr.. o. A. Thompson, superintendent
of the Edgeley sllb-station, and an
A. C. graduate in 1901, has been called
to Washington to study new methods
Of agricultural science in connection
with the department of agriculture.
The call is pursuant to the annual
practice of the department in calling
some of the best and most deserving
men from the field to Washington for
the purpose of better equipping for
their work with a practical knowl-
edge of new methods. Mr.. Thomp-
son has had considerable experience
in his work. He was at one time
teamster at the college doing field
work. He took an active interest in
his work and later became hardsman
in the cattle, sheep and siwne barns
and later was promoted to hardsman
in the horse barn, He took up the
college course at the institution and
while pursuing his studies did work

New Workers are familiar with the

generous as they are here.

New York Invites Graft of Many Sorts

kind of medicine offered every day va

cineS daily and store them up against an
attack of a malady. which the drug
stores could not fOresee when they ar
ranged their methods of advertising.
Then there are perfumes to be had al
most every day in the drug shops. Care
fui selection of the places one visits
will enable the CRATER to accumulate q
variety of scents which may not be of the
finest Paris manufacture, but will serve
his purpose very well. Tooth powder in
microscopic packages is to be had on
certain days.
Thus are the material wants of the
CRATER carefully looked after. He may
be fed and allowed to enjoy no end of
light and heat if he sits IN the hotel lob
bies. And he may have all the station
cry he wants at the hotels and have to
pay nothing for it.
Only a small proportion of the men who
write letters in hotel writing rooms are
really guests of the house But 1t never
bothers them when they read thdtF the
room is reserved exclusively for the ben
eft of the guests of the house. They
often demand writing paper at the Of
fees and they get 1t always without
question so long as they possess the

these opportunities ever do it for econ

WAYS of living in this city without pay
ing for all that he needs. Nor would it
be necessary for him to rob or be an OBJ
iect of charity. He could just graft.
Involving somewhat greater outlay
than graft of the pure and simple kind
mentioned here is the sample graft,
which requires at least a stamp. That
kind of acquisition opens up unrealized
sources of graft. which are practically
without end It has the disadvantage OF
