A GARDEN SPOT I'm THE DESERT

One of the most interesting things in
the Goldfeld district is the ranch of
James Ish located about a mile north
of Columbia. There has been much
speculation and considerable p~rophesy-
ing during the past year concerning the
agricultural future of Southern Nevada
but while others nave been vaporing on
what might be done Mr.. Ish has pitched
in and fenced off a plat of ground on
tanning some 10 or IL acres. Water he
has brought from the sewerage system
which lows through his little irrigation
bitches and now where a few months
ago nothing save the sage brush grew
there fourishes as fine a truck patch as
any that the east can boast. Corn strong
mans shoulder and the ears are fast
%ripening. Peas. beans. radishes. pota-
toes, beets and radishes are all growing
as IL they were native to the soil. AL
ready the garden is returning a hand
some revenue n the time is in sight
when all of the outlying section of the
camp will be turned into gardens of
FESTIVE green to replace the dreary heat
sickened sands. James Ish who is an
exceedingly interesting person says
Il have been a miner all my life and
when 1t comes to solving the water

False on Their Own Showing.
Fargo Forum.]

lfafSO fOFuNl.J
The leaders of the insurgents
prove that they are liars by their own
assertions. They state that the idol
of Mr.. McKenzie's heart was the capt.
toll commission bill and that he was
personally interested in seeing that
its provisions were carried out. On
the other hand the statement is made
that Mr.. Mckenzie has for years die
tated every nomination which has been
made for state Office and also for ap-
pointment. If this statement is true,
the members of the supreme court
are Ibis creatures" placed there to do
his bidding; if this is the case, and
the capitol commission bill was his
favored law, would they not have ap-
proved the measure! But they did
not do so. Take either horn of the
dilemma, and it will prove that the
men who make these charges are plain
unequivocal liars. They have made
too broad assertions, and the common
people are getting onto their duplic-
ity. This is only one instance, out of
many, which might be mentioned,
showing the wholesale and unfounded
statements made, in the attempts to
play upon the intelligence or the pref
udices of the masses of the people.
They will find in the end that the
man who succeeds in public life must
be truthful-just the same as the one
who wins out in his private enter
prises.

They want to know from Boss Spald-

in congress whereby he was to receive
about $500 for expenses that he never
incurred;the real reason why he voted
against the interests of the farmers
of North Dakota and in favor of the
miller's trust in the importation of
free Canadian wheat: what he knows
about the passage of southern war
claims; and why he lobbied in Bis
marck against the passage of the bill
changing the divorce law from 80
days residence to one year. and what
became of the money raised to fight
the passage of this bill: if reelected

THE WHEAT ROBBERY.

Inc discussion on the amendment
to the agricultural bill proposed by
Senator Hansbrough. in addition to
serving as basis for the establish
ment of national grades for our for
eisn grain; trade. has called in an
emphatic manner the attention OF the
wheat growers of this state to the out
rageous conduct of the grain inspec-
ton in Minnesota. and the high hand
ed robbery Of our farmers through it's
workings.
During the discussion of the bill
Senator McCumber stated that the
Minnesota wheat ring sold twenty
seven million bushels more wheat last
year than they bought In other words
that by means of dockage, that amount
of wheat was secured without cost to
the terminals. which wheat was after
ward placed on the market and sold
as merchantable.
Senator McCumber went even fur
Their and showed that by the raising
Of the grades after the wheat was pur-
chased the same wheat ring had de-
hauded the wheat growers of North
Dakota out OF from 100000 to S.
100000 annually. The method of doing
this is well known to the majority of
the wheat growers Of the state. He
u ut the mercy Of the buyer and is
compelled to accept just whatever
grade the buyer will give and from
hi decision there is no practical ap-

is easy to see how a gigantic robbery
of this kind may be carried on and
the farmers be powerless to prevent it.
These things were not idle state
ments. but were made in manner
which would send them broadcast
over the land. Moreover. they were
made in the presence of the senators
from Minnesota. who if there were
any possible REPUTATION. would have
made it. True. Senator Nelson did
attempt to show that the wheat
shipped from this state was in bad
condition and that grades were lost
by this means. But when Senator
Hansbrough asked how this treating
process could increase the quantity,
the Minnesotan was cornered and un-
able to reply.
Senator McCumber was fortified
with facts and figures and hurled them
at the champions of the wheat ring
SO fast that they were swept off their
feet. He also read from the famous
decision of Judge Sanborn the evil
dence taken in open court showing
the conditions which have permitted
the robbing of the North Dakota farm
ers.
The fight in behalf of the wheat
growers of the northwest is not yet
won. The product affords one of the
richest fields for graft in the entire
| country. The fact that the people
| must have the same or starve makes
! the selling market an assured one,
while the need of the farmer to dis
pose of his crop at the earliest date
possible after the harvesting, and his
absolute inability to sell it except in
the market created by the mill trust
and the grain ring places him at the
mercy of these people He is there
fore ground between the upper and
neither mill stone until wheat raising
is not one-half as profitable as it
should be.
The farmer would not care so much
for the low price probably if the con-
sumer received the benefit. But he
does not. While the price of the raw
material has been depressed, the price
of flour has gradually increased.
The government must take hold of
the matter in time and to some extent
regulate the grading so that the pro-
Queer will not be at the mercy of the
terminal elevators so far as grades
and dockage are concerned.
The desperate methods to which the
grain trust will resort in order to
squeeze the life out of the grower
was well illustrated in the methods
it used to get Canadian frosted wheat
into this country free of duty couple
of years ago, the story of which is
familiar to every farmer in the state.
Geographically we are at the mercy of
our sister state on the east, and her
senators and representatives are ever
on the alert to protect the mill trust
interests of that state. Men from
other states who are unfamiliar with
actual conditions in the wheat grow
ing states are Indifferent because not
informed, or else regard the matter
as one of local interest. But the
work being done by the congressional
allegation from this, state is bearing
fruit. Senator Patterson, who has al
ways been opposed to the matter,
stated after hearing Senator McCum-
ber's speech:
l doubt if any of the revelations OF
official fraud and graft that the last
year has produced could be considered
as startling, almost as horrifying, as
have been the revelations made by the
senator from North Dakota.

Two days, and in some localities only

An Ex.Machine Manager.
bismarck Tribune.]

Hon. B. F. Spalding is now devoting
his attention to the western part of
the state. stirring up opposition to
the regular republican organization of
the state. OF course he would not
have had occasion to do this had he
been renominated for congress. He
ought to tell us all about the con-
gressional salary grab and his vote
thereon; also his position on admit
ting Canadian wheat duty free-to
the detriment of the American farm
err; also about lobbying for short
term divorce law to the shame of this
state. Spalding ought to be fair and
admit that until now he has always
been machine" manager-an ex-
pert in party organization and mani
pulation of party conventions.

STATE COMMENT

Isn't Boss Devine's patriotism now
being displayed for political reform
actuated by burning desire to again
get his feet in the public trough?
Are the leaders of the insurgent
movement in North Dakota sincere?
Are they honestly seeking to bring
about reform in politics or are they
simply out for revenge-and the Of
fices-and an opportunity to graft the
state? The record of these reform
