IriSl,,S Ghost.

A story of how Wellington Irish
saw ghost in a cemetery near Wash
ington has just leaked out through
letter to some of his friends. He was
strolling through one OF the cemeteries
near the city one night on his return
from a walk. Near the new-made
grave he heard such funeral sounds as
could only come from some soul
frozen in the icy lake of Dante's in
ferno. Too scared to run, he stood
petrified expecting to see the disem-
bodied spirit rise from it's imprisoning
mound and fly to other worlds. But
the sounds only grew more blood
curdlng, and then, oh horors! From
behind the newly made grave mound
slowly appeared the body of the tor
mented soul. 1t rose slowly, and stood
for a moment dimly outlined in the
growing darkness. Then it reeled and
sank from sight-back to it's prison
house of earth. The horrible scene
was telling on the North Dakotan. He
tried to run but his limbs were par
alyzed with fear. Again the ghost
slowly rose and this time came direct
ly towards him. Wellington thought
of the press boys back in North Dakota
who would miss him; offered SUBJ
stitute for a prayer and awaited his
end. On came the ghost within
touching distance, he saw it was only
negro who had partaken too freely
OF the spirit that is not religious and
had fallen, half drunken by the grave,
and had been pouring out his fears
in mumbled words because he was
in grave yard alone and after dark.

WELCOME TO THE CONVENTION.

The Evening Times extends hearty
greeting to the Red River Valley
Drainage convention which as
sembles tomorrow 10 undertake
the greatest work ever attempt
ed in behalf OF the Red river
valley. Welcome, thrice welcome
to the city. The task before the con-
vention is great and it's Importance is
measured only by it's greatness. Wis
dom is as necessary to it's success as
is oxygen to air. The plans must be
made not for the present alone, but
for the future especially. The work of
the convention will leave it's impress
upon the destiny of the richest part
of Gods heritage. The delegates are
representative men of their commun-
tiles, men of ability, who have for
years studied the conditions that now
will be safe in their conclusions. The
work now lies with the convention.
All that the city can do is to give the
glad hand of welcome to those who are
now its guests. The keys of the city
are yours gentlemen. Nothing is too
good for you. nothing is superlative
enough to express our welcome.

Pioneer Press argues that this pro-
vision will arouse such antagonism
In other states as to insure the defeat
of the bill. That bridge will not be
reached until the bill receives con-
sideration in congress. 1t is we'll
to point out that the justice of the
course is founded on principle of
equity and justice that has been al
most universally observed since the
formation of new states out of the
public domain began. In nearly ev-
cry one, when congress granted state
hood it gave to the state public lands
for the creation of educational funds,
and funds for the erection of state
buildings. Other states have recog-
nized this right and it is doubtful if
a single vote was ever cast in con-
gress against an enabling act on this
ground alone.
What matters it in principle, then,
whether the public lands be granted
outright or whether the funds arising
from their sale be granted? Or wheth-
er the grant be made at the time
the territory is admitted as Il
state, or later when the need of the
grant becomes pressingly apparent?
Another straw man set up by the
Pioneer Press is that there may be
lack of harmony between the state
and national authorities on the in
auguration of drainage systems. 1t
argues that because state, government
and individual lands join the state
and individual interests must be sur
rendered in order that the govern
ment scheme may be carried out.
Such a contention involves the ele-
mentary question of whether or not
drainage is beneficial to territory
suffering from super-abundance of
water. A discussion of that question
may be necessary to convince theo-
lists like the Pioneer Press and George
H. Maxwell from whom the former
seems to draw it's inspiration, but the
people OF the district across the Red
river are as far ahead of that as the
oratiOns OF Cicero are ahead of the
alphabet.

income the entire year, and can be
kept on the products of small land
areas, will in IL few years be sources
mess about Sank Center and other
points in Minnesota is proof of this
statement. With the COW will come
other stock, fattened for the market
on products that now largely go to
waste Let these sources be added
to those already developed and the
farms will yield Il much larger in
come per acre than now.
If The farm will yield twenty-five
per cent on the cost. outside the living
expenses of the family. it is a good
income. AS conditions are now the in
come per acre is not far from twenty
dollars, and with the additional sources
developed. will be at least twenty-five
dollars. With improved methods the
cost will be reduced TO probably five
dollars-half what it is now-and the
net income would be twenty dollars
per acre, and taking this as a basis,
land values could go to eighty dollars
per acre and still give a profit of
twenty-five per cent.
The home consideration adds to this,
for there is not healthier climate, a
more invigorating atmosphere, a nobler
people or better conveniences any
where than in North Dakota. These
considerations combine to make the
land values equal to those of Iowa and
Illinois.

have a telephone line put through that

Wilhelm Johnson, living in that Sec

the good cause and now has things
in shape to start active work as soon
as the instruments and wires arrive
The line will go from CrOokston to
within a mile of Fisher and there will
be about thirty of the farmers who
will connect with it at the very start
and there will undoubtedly be many
more later. There will be about twelve
miles of wire on the main line be-
sides the branches. The farmers will
furnish the poles from the woods
along the river and in this way the
greater part of the expense will he
cut out. The wire, instruments and
installation will cost. each farmer

STATESMAN OR DEMAGOGUE!

The courteous, gentlemanly treat
ment accorded Mr.. LaFollette when
he appeared to take his seat in the U.
S. senate was decided contrast to
the harsh things that distinguished
lecturer has been saying about the
senate collectively and senator's indi-
vidually.
Only few months ago Senator La
Toilette spoke in st. Paul. His ad-
vance agent took occasion to make it
known before hand that the Wiscon-
sin man would pay his respects to the
body in which he was soon to sit, and
in a way that would startle the coun-
try. The agent knew that this an
nouncement would contribute mate
rally to the size of his audience, and
1t did. Senator LaFollette made good
by boldly declaring that the senate
was composed of and dominated by
very bad lot of men. Thieves"
"scoundrels," corporation TOOLS" out
laws and few other choice terms
were applied to the members of that
body. The audience was immensely
pleased, and the senator went away
with big roll of St. Paul money.
If we may believe the press re-
ports, Senator LaFollette on taking
his seat, wore his happiest smile and
displayed evidence of supreme salts
faction. This could not have been
true unless the senator had felt HIM
self entirely at home in such company.
1t is to be regretted that the gullible
people who heard and enjoyed his
scathing arrangement of the United
States senate, could not have been
present when the senator was sworn
in.
And we are left to wonder if, as a
matter of fact, men of the LaFollette
stamp are not subjecting the institu-
tons of the country to pretty Sc
we're tax when they use their fiery tai
ents, their ability to indulge in mis-
representation, in order to secure
1ANSS'' VI ioiicA duV u uoJ lOI
selves-for it was absolutely through
the practice of these dangerous meth
DDS that Mr.. LaFollette won his way
to the governorship of Wisconsin and
through the power he exerted as
boss" governor that he was enabled
to get to the senate
These things will happen, no doubt
and designing men will continue
to practice the arts of the demagogue
so long as they are able to keep the
public mind in a state of hysteria: so
long as the people themselves prefer
violent defamation to plain common
sense statements, with malice toward
none and charity for ALL"
Robert NJ. LaFollette is now a men,
Der of the body which he professed
to detest. If he should succeed dur
ing the whole of his term in putting
his imprint upon single line of law
that will benefit the people whose feel
ings he has SO frequently aroused by
his peculiar eloquence. he will be the
first of a long line of pyrotechnic
statesmen to do so.

COMING LAND VALUES.

The farmers of North Dakota, and
that includes not only those who are
exclusively concerned in the tilling of
the soil, but many who are engaged
in another business as we'll, are giving
serious attention to the future prices
of land in the state Two things COM
bine to fix the value of the land
the income producing ability, and it's
value as place to live. The income
producing value is the one almost en-
tfrely used by those who are BOOM
Ing the state. Before any accurate
conclusion can be reached as to the
future income producing value of the
land, attention must be given to what.
If any, additional sources of farm in
come may be reasonably developed
In addition to those already developed
In the past farm incomes have been
derived almost exclusively from grain
, growing. The enormous incomes
from this source have led nearly every
land owner into this business alone,
while other sources have either not
\ been touched at all, or in desultory
and half-hearted manner. The by pro-
ducts of the farm are allowed to waste
because there is now no available
means of converting them into money
Many of the largest revenue producers
are not raised because they must nee
essarily be on small scale The soil
OF this state is especially adapted to
the growing of onions. potatoes, cab
bage and what might be termed the
I perishable products. A small acreage
OF these will add a big item to the in.
come of the farms. This could be
largely grown during the season when
the other crops are maturing with
ont interfering with the larger farm
work. There is a market for these
1 things and best of all, the demand is
always greater than the supply so Z
that good prices prevail. True, while
land is plentiful and large farms the
rule rather than the exception, these
things receive but little attention. But
~ land decreases in market price, the
