POTATOES THAT WILL KEEP
Boon to Farmers Found in South Sea
Islands by an Ocean i
Captain.

Berkeley. GAIA sweet potato that
will. like the Irish potato, keep for an
indefinite length of time under normal
conditions is the discovery of Capt.
]. A. Macomber, of Oakland, who re-
turned from an extended trip around
the world on his schooner Gotama.
The box of potatoes, which were car
ried for eight months on the ship, and
which remained in a perfect state of
preservation for that time, have been
turned over to the department of ag-
ricnlture at the University of Cali
fornia, and steps will be taken towards
the introduction of this most valuable
plant into this state.
The potato was discovered by
Capt. Macomber on Papan island, in
the Ladrone group in the South seas.
1t was taken from the ground last
April. and was of exceptional flavor
and quality. So impressed was Capt.
Maccmber with the richness of the
tuber and its value as delicacy for
his table that he took lot with him
on leaving the island. He expected
that, like all other sweet potatoes that
he bad seen, they would spoil in a few
weeks, but, to his surprise, they did
not. They kept until he arrived home
and are still in good condition.
Upon arriving at Berkeley Capt Ma
comber took his find, along with some
other plants he had gathered on his
trip, to Prof. E. ]. Wickson, head of
the department of agriculture at the
state university, and Prof. Wickson
says that the discovery is as valuable
as any that has been made in many
years.
ut will mean millions of dollars
saved If we can get sweet potato that
Will not only not have to be refrigerated
to be kept, but keep as long as the
other potato. During sweet potato
season and out Of it sweets are high
because they will not keep. Mer-
chants put them in cold storage and
command high price for them when
the crop is all used up. And then
millions rot every year in spite Of
everything that can be done to pre-
serve them"

THE NAN WHO RENTS.
Advantages for the Renter Who Buys
In North Dakota.

III NVklQ D8kOtA>
An exchange has the following per-
tinent remarks on the man who rents
, in the old states:
HE gives his time and labor for the
benefit of others. when in North Da-
kota he can obtain land at low prices
which will more than pay SO an acre
net II sown to fax, wheat, oats or
corn. Are you living on rented farm
back east? Have you teams and
farming implements? BY all means
come to North Dakota, and get farm
of your own, and in few years. time
you can become worth more money
than you can make in lifetime where
you are now. The improvements you
make on a farm will be your own.
All farmers with large families and
moderate means can do better in this
country than in any other region in
the United States. Those who have a
mOrtgaged home east would better sell
and come west and buy anew on what
they can save out of the wreck. Any
young farmer who controls from $500
to $1,000 can grow into independence
here. Those who have stock and ma
chinery, but no land, come here and
rent land and buy home from the
profits of the first season. One crop
will often more than pay for the land.
The Industrious and sober men are the
aristocrats of North Dakota. They be-
come the men of wealth and standing
The only classes her are the thrifty
and the shiftless. The state is con-
trOlled by the former"

HOTEL CORRIDORS

Among the popular travelling men
who make this city their headquar-
ters Is Rus Grant OF the Griggs-
Cooper company Of st. Paul.
He got In Saturday evening from
New York, where he went on business
and pleasure, and was surprised to
see the following clipped from his
home paper, the Albany Argus, by the
Evening Times man: ,ss sss
Speaking of travelling men reminds
me of the fact that Rus Grant Is here
looking us. over after an absence Of
two years. Rus Is salesman for
Griggs Cooper & Co., of St. Paul.
Mimi, the foremost wholesale grocery
house in the northwest, and that he
has made good is evidenced by the
fact that his employers have promoted
him several times during the past few
years. He is now covering big
field in North Dakota and his head
quarters are at Grand Forks. Rus
has been travelling and working with
his eyes open wide and his mind re-
ceptive and as result he is an up
to-the- minute young man and an in
teresting, congenial companion. He
Is being cordially greeted by his
many friends bere and all wish him
continued success and the same
physical sturdiness his appearance In
dicates that he at present possesses"
Rus says the East is all right, but
trifle slow when 1t comes to busi-
ness push and hustle and cities Of the
same size there are far behind those
of North Dakota in this respect.
c. A. Barnett, representing the> L.
A. Becker company, of Chicago, manu-
facturers of soda water fountains and
fixtures, was in the city last evening.
He has just been on a trip In South
Dakota and stated to an Evening
Times representative that for bust
ness push and activity South Dakota
did not compare with North Dakota.
"The push and energy of the people
here is In the very air." he said, and
was profuse In his expressions COM
-plimentary to the state.
North Dakota has as many expen-
sive soda water fountains in its cities
as many states of double the popula-
ton, according to Mr.. Barnette. It Is
not considered any great load by pro-
gressive druggists of this state to put
In fountain costing $4,000, while in
other states they are slow to take up
with proposition of this magnitude.
A travelling man recently received
a package of a new explosive called
hot foot" from a friend in the south,
and livened things up at the Dacotah
last evening by dropping some on the
floor and watching the guests side
step.
The explosive is harmless but very
demonstrative and bears out its name
creditably. AS soon as one steps up
on it, snap, sputter, bang, and ten
thousand or more little balls of fire
start a race about persons feet,
here, there and everywhere, like
things of life. Some amusing Incl
dents occurred in the lobby.
Hon. Jud La Moure, the well-known
Pembina statesman, was visitor in
the city last evening and left for
Brainerd on the evening train, from
where he will go to Gull Lake, south
Of Bemidji.
Mr.. La Moure will make some inn
pfoyements in his summer cottage at
the lake in preparation for its oc-
cupancy by his family next season.

The EVENING TINES, GRAND FORKS, N. DI

Then our educational institutions
were small, scattered and primative
school houses, whose only equipment
many times was an old cheap stove,
a water pail and a tin 'dipper, with
rough home made benches and desks.
Not infrequently, school was held at
the house of some centrally located
settler, and that house a sod shanty.
The teacher was often some one Of
the settlers who had bit more of
learning than the average.
Now we have modern universities,
agricultural colleges, normals to
spare, institutions for the blind, the
feeble minded, the deaf and dumb, and
many of these with strong industrial
and mechanical learning even to that
of practical and scientific mining.
Every little town has its high school,
and so has many rural township, and
the district schools are comfortable,
modern and we'll equipped, presided
over by teachers specially educated
and fitted for the calling. Then
school library was never heard of.
Now they are general.
