Causes Some Selling of Bisbee Coppers at Lower Than
 Usual Figures.
C0CHlSE SOUGHT AFTER
 BY EASTERN BUYERS.
(ey Frank J. Grail

BISBEE. April 10.--At the close of today's market there was a tendency that showed somewhat of an uncer- tainty as to the extent that it had during the earlier part of the day. Stock had been in good demand the entire day, especially Pittsburg and Duluth. Sales being made at $2i.50. Calumet and Arizona failed to be listed today as many had expected although the market did not suffer to any extent. Daring the day. tight money caused some selling of Bisbee coppers and brought down Warren and also North Butte. Sales being made in the former at S16 and the latter at sS2. NorVh Butte closed at ssS.5o. Warren nad been sought af- ter to some extent, but at noon the supply exceeded the demand. and had been offered at SIG. Denn Arizona held wei, sales being made at $16.62. Cochise is being sought af- ter at SC, with offering at sG.50. We expect to have a fair market for this from now on as We have got the Eastern people to trading in it.

BiSBEE, April 10. 1906.
 The stock market today is practically unchanged, while there is a good demand. for most all of the Bonanza's prices remain about the same with the exception of P. & D., which has made a fractional advance and is in demand around $21, and closed strong.
 Cananea & Duluth has been a feature in today's market. The Cananea allotment is practically taken up, and there is but a small amount of the Bisbee allotment left for sale. With the taking up of the bal ance of the development stock now on sale a material ad- vance in the price of this stock is certain.

Wonders grow apace. The furious
onslaught of colored citizens of Chi
cago on Senator Tillman to prevent
him from delivering his usual TRADE
on the race question, in his lecture
there this week. was backed up by the
moral support of many white citizens.
Coming so soon after another signal
victory for us in our influence over
public opinion in the Roosevelt Incl
dent, we are inclined to plume our
selves on our growing strength. A
definite end to be accomplished in
both incidents has served to coalesce
our individual strength until we have
been felt This makes very apparent
our possibilities If we would only have
some systematic method Of accom-
plshing this same result and not be
drawn together by emergencies from
time to time.
The Niagara movement, which has
taken such prominent part in the
present crisis, is a worthy attempt
at union among us that will be last
ing and efficient at all times. 1t may
fail II II does 1t will not be because
1t Is rot well planned, nor capable Of
doing the work We have TO do, nor
because 1t Is a personal boosting af-
fair, but because the race does not
receive 1t and give II their assistance
in money and effort. There are a
great many well-meaning race people
in this western country The past
records some notable things that they
have accomplished. But, In every
case. there has been valuable oppor.
tunity lost because Of lack OF prepara
tion. The meeting to protest against
the action OF the president, held last
week, was easily gotten up because
of the organization behind IT, In the
same way national movement needs
countrywide organization.
Let us accept the wisdom OF our age
and organize. Let us meet our re.
strictions not with the puny strength
OF individuals. but with all the power
OF the race united.

$l50,OOO in BUILDING
DURING YEAR 1906
Over 50 residences have been
built this seasOn.-Others start
ing. Many new business
blocks being built.

AS regards building operations Will
liston has far surpassed that of any
other year during the past summer.
Over fifty residence houses have been
erected the greater part of them, be-
ing large. modern sup-to-date houses

we have no doubt missed number
for others are being started every
day and 1t is simply impossible to
keep them all checked up. Resides
the residence portion OF our city there
has been great activity in the build
ing Of business blocks and about $780,
900 has been used for this purpose.
The moneys expended upon the num-
ber of residence houses listed here
amounts to about $4,000.
The activity Of a city is shown by
the amount Of building which is go
ing on and Williston is active indeed
for which ever way you turn the song
"of the hammer is heard. A grand
total of $15O,OOO would not cover the
improvements made in buildings alone
here this year and we predict greater
activity in this line during the coming
year. This is but a start and in few
years our city will be the best in the
state. Best in size. best in sanitary
conG;sIons. best in business, best in
location, best In EVERYTHING.

CROPS OF WILLIAMS COUNTY
During Twenty Years Complete
Failure Has Never Been Experience
cd.-Nheat From 20 to AS Bushels
Per Acre. Oats From 20 to 1O8
Bushels.

Farming operations have been car
ried on in certain localities of Will
liams county for the past twenty-one
years, during which period a complete
failure, has never been experienced.
For the past five years, all sections Of
the county have been extensively
farmed and each successive year has
over the preceding year. In the fam
Gus Nesson valley bordering the Mis-
souri, river, two pioneers. Halvor
Thorson and H. A. Nelson, have farm
ed with wonderful success, for twenty
one years, using what is known as the
spring flood system of irrigation. En-
ormous yields of grain have been TAX
en- from their two thousand acre farm
which is perhaps, the grandest farm
in the entire state Of North Dakota
today. 1905 brought them from many
acres, 53 bushels of blue stem wheat,
100 bushels Of white Russian oats
and 22 bushels of splendid flax. From
800 acres of wheat AZ bushels per acre
have been threshed this season. APP
pies. crabs and all varieties of small
fruits and berries are most successful
ly grown on this farm. In many sec
tions of the county, yields of 26, 2S.
80 and "a bushels of blue stem and
macaroni wheat are reported this sea-
son. Oats are going frCm 40 to as
high as "a bushels Flax has been
very largely grown in this county and
produces from 10 bushels on the green
sod to 22 bushels on old land. The
acreage of barley and speltz is annu-
ally increasing. Their adaptibility to
all conditions having been fully de-
monstrated and winter rye is rapidly
being taken up. After several years
tests and experiments with corn, as
high as So bushels per acre were ga
thered in 1906. Many varieties are
being grown and while those best
adapted for successful culture are not
as yet fully determined, it Is proven
beyond a doubt that Dent corn at
tanning in instances a height of 10
feet. can be grown and matured IN
Williams county. Three cuttings Of
alfalfa have been made on many
farms, especially those along the
creek and river bottoms. Timothy and
Red Glover, as well as broom grass
and all varieties of millet are remun-
erative crops grown for stock food
and fodder. The fame of Williams
county potatoes is far spread. And
many times has Williams county come
to the rescue of potato hungry Red
River valley and Minnesota. Water
melons, musk melons. cantaloupes,
pumpkins, all varieties of vegetables
and root crops thrive beyond expec-
tations. and a good quality Of tobacco
has been cultured on small scale 1t
has been said, and truthfully so, by
many eastern farmers, that success
full farming in Williams county, North
Dakota. depends SO per cent upon the
farmer himself. and 40 per cent upon
the land
