THE LADIES' SESSIONS.

The ladies' sessions of the Farmers
Institute held in the district court
room Thursday proved very interest
Ing and helpful.
Miss Theodosia Ammons, domestic
science teacher at the State Agricul-
tural college, first gave short talk
on the institute work and told how
it Is promoted by an appropriation
from the government. One month
was spent on the western slope and
the past few weeks the teachers
have been visiting Colorado towns.
Farmers institute work is one of the
best that can be taken up and all
lines OF household work can be bene-
fitted by ladies sessions, she saws,

smooth potato of medium size, with
shallow eyes, for this purpose.
These he carefully sorts, to secure as
uniform sizes as possible. He is now
supplying the Vanderbilt system OF
dining cars and cafes the year around
with potatoes at SLIGO hundred.
He could dispose Of many times the
amount of his crop at equally good
figures, providing he had the pota-
toes. But he will not trust the
sorting of the potatoes to others,
and consequently his output Is
limited. because he does not want to
jeoparadize his market by taking
chances on others carrying out his
agreement on superior stock.
He believes that the same care
should be taken in presenting pota-
toes on the market that is taken
with fruits. Some of the very best
grocery stores in New York and
other eastern cities do not handle
potatoes at all because of the condi-
tion in which they are shipped. II
these were put up In neat and con-
venient packages. with minimum
amount of dirt, the high class groc-
cry stores would handle. them at a
higher price. Colorado can produce
the best potatoes in the world. but
the farmer must begin to look more
to quality than to enormous bulk in
potatoes. If this is done ana the
stock carefully sorted the potato will
demand the same price in eastern
markets in relation to the product Of
other states that the Rocky Ford
melons and the Jonathan apples do.
1t is matter Of selecting the stock
and taking advantage of the oppor-
tunity now open.
The selection of seed grains was
the subject of a talk by Prof. w. II.
Olin of the Agricultural college and
the last one on the program. He
emphasized the need of a careful
choice of the grains to be sown.
There is but little to be done for a
grain field after it has been sown,
and it is only by the best of seed
that a good crop can be secured.
Prof. Oltn had several samples of
various kinds of grain. some of which
he recommended, and others of which
he condemned as of much less value.
The institute closed by the selec-
tion of committee to attempt the
formation of permanent association
for the holding of Institutes and
meetings of that nature among the
farmers. The Pleasant Valley
Farmers League will likely be used
as nucleus for the larger organiza-
tion.

w. A. Morris, father Of Mrs.
Joseph w. Jackson, left Tuesday
evening for his homein Madison,
Wisconsin, after spending a
couple of weeks visiting here.
Mr.. Morris spent a great deal
of his time while here looking
over the country and visited
many parts of it. In speaking
of this section of the country
Mr.. Morris stated that people
in the east had mistaken ideas
in regard to North Dakota both
in regard to the productiveness
of the soil and in regard to the
weather. He stated that he had
seen no better land anywhere
and that our crops here were as
good or better than the average
in the east. Mr.. Morris was
very favorably impressed with
North Dakota and especially
this section Of it, and contem-
plates investing heavily in real
estate.

n. P. Surveyors
Near Wi||iston
Three Crews Of n. P. Surveyors Ap.
preaching This city...Are Working
Near Stroud.

There are three large crews of
Northern Pacific surveyors at
work on the south side of the
river surveying for an N. P. ex-
tension and the head crew is
now near Stroud and not over
twenty miles from Williston. In
the head crew are twenty men
and they are followed by two
other crews, one doing locating
and the other driving stakes.
No defnate information has
been given out as to whether
the N. P. will cross the river and
come here or not but a survey
was made last year for cross
ing few miles below here and
the surveyors at that time claim
ed it was the best crossing that
coulb Gs found on the river be
tween here and St. Louis. .

Suicided From Grief

Lily Erickson, 25 years old,
living three miles north of Stan
ley, committed suicide Tuesday
by shooting herself in the head
with a shot gun.
For the past year Miss Erick-
son has been grieving over the
death of her mother. Every
thing was done to take away
the memories of the unfortunate
occurrance and the wish for a
visit to the old home was re-
fused. A short time ago her
grief was accentuated by the
death of the man to whom she
was engaged. Since then she
has not been the same and while
there were no indications that
her grief would result in the
rash act in which it did, it was
realized that she was not the
same.

Our Busy River Front

Since the starting OF the boat
ing work on the river front
the work on the irrigation set
ting basin, the surveying tor
the new sidngs and the work
on the city power house and set
ting basin, the river front along
below the city presents a very
busy appearance. For a half a
mile along the river everything
is hustle and go. Dozens Of
teams are hauling grain, NOV
ing dirt, hauling freight to the
boat and hauling brick to the
power house. The work being
done by the steam boat is as in
teresting to our citizens as any
thing going on. The boat comes
up with hundreds of sacks OF
grain and these are raised to the
storage dock on trucks pulled
up by power, one Of the boat en-
g1nes being used. A buster place
than the river front below the
city would be hard to find and
it will do you good to take a
walk down there and see how
busy everyone is.

mains down the river and buys
the grain having it ready for the
boat when it returns. On the
down trip the boat takes quite
a lot Of freight.
Surveyors started work Tues
day surveying the spur which
will run down to the boat land
ing. This will enable Mr.. Stew
ems to put the grain into the
cars direct instead of having to
move twice, once from the boat
to the landing and then to the
cars.

Threshers Badly Burned

ValleyCity, Sept. 3O.-At noon
yesterday one of the most shock
ing accidents in the history of
Barnes county occurred d - miles
north of this city.
Charles Ford, an engineer in
charge Of a threshing rig on the
farm of William Ayers, met an
awful death.
A fire started under the engine
and in some manner the flames
threatened to injure it. Ford
mounted the foot board to get
it out of danger. His clothing
were saturated with oil and
caught on fire. He became panic
stricken, and ran wildly across
a stubble field. the flames en-
veloping his figure.
The members of the crew gave
chase but he dropped from ex-
haustion before they could reach
him and put out the flames. He
was about a quarter of mile
away.
When the flames were extin-
guished his body was literally
roasted.
Ford was well known in
Barnes county. He was a farm
er and leaves a wife in delicate
health, and two small children.

crew at work and the settling
basin will be built up in short
order.
This is but the beginning of
the work and from now until

IS ARIZONA BLIND

Is there one good reason why
Arizona and New Mexico should
consent to be joined in single state
hood? says the Kansas City Jour
nal.
The reason urged in congress
last session was that President
Roosevelt wanted the omnibus bill
TO pass. The reason Mr. RoosC'
welt himself gave was that it would
be well to get these western terri
tories out of the way because their
claims to statehood were eontinu-
ally being pressed, to the dlsad-
vantage of other legislation de-
manding attention. Eastern states
men and newspapers favored join
ing the territories in order that
the west might not have such a
large representation in the United
States senate as it would have
with each of them coming in as q
separate state.
These reasons wero all potent
with those who advanced them, no
doubt, but none Of them appealed
to the Intelligence of the people Of
New Mexico and Arizona. Tho
wishes Of the president are not su
perior to the material interests of
two great territories. Few meas
ures come before congress Of sucn
trauscendent importance that the
lust claims of territories to state
hood should be brushed aside be
cause they take up time. The sec
tional jealousy of eastern states.
men is certainly not entitled te any
consideration in the west. Not u
single argument has been advanced
from any quarter in favor of maxi
ing one state Of these territories
which should have any weight
with the voters of either
The country is suprised 10 hear
Graham guardian., 1906-11-02

that there is any uncertainty as to
the attitude of Arizona on this
question The reasons against
joint statehood were so clear and
so conclusive that popular senti-
ment forced congress to defeat the
omnibus bill. When that was dcne
the matter was supposed to be
practically settled, as nobody i'm
agined Arizona could be so blind
to her interests as to do otherwise
than vote down the proposition by
an overwhelming majority. 1t is
difficult to realize even now that
it can stand any show of adop-
tion. The most convincing argu-
ment that could possibly be made
that Arizona is unfit for statehood
of any kind would be the failure
of her people to reject joint state
hood by decisive vote.
