dered by the richest harvest ever gath
cred in this state.
At eighty-one towns stops will be
made varying in length from ten min
utes to an hour and half. During
these stops the members of the party
will have an opportunity to present the
claims of Grand Forks to the citizens
and to meet on mutual grounds for the
advancement and prosperity Of both
itself and the towns which are visited.
Composed Of representative business
men as the crowd will be, there should
be created in the five days of the
trip an enthusiastic sentiment In favor
of Grand Forks which will be like
bread cast upon the waters. There
will be a stronger personal relation
ship developed between the business
men OF this city and those of the other
cities of the state. There will be a
better understanding of the import
ance of this city and the coming met
ropolis of the northwest. and there
will be stronger effort in the future
to stand by the city which has always
made a fight in the interests of the
cities upon which it must depend for
support.

MoRTGAGED CROPS.

The following from the New York
Tribune. which has always been con-
sidered one of the greatest advocates
of the southern cotton growers inter-
ests in the east, is almost as fully
applicable to the system of crop mort
cages prevalent in the northwest as it
is to the cotton growers of the south.
The Tribune says: If the farmers
Union of America succeeds in it's cru
SADIE against the crop and livestock
mortgage system, SO prevalent among
the small farmers of the south and
southwest, it will deserve we'll of the
country. Its secretary, Ben L. Griffin,
points out the evil effect Of the prac-
tice In forcing more cotton on the
market at the time of the annual set
Element than there is money to pur-
chase at fair price, so that the farmer
whose crop is mortgaged has nothing
to say as to the return he shall receive
from his labor. The hope is that d.
versification of crops and systematic
demonstration of the folly of the pres
ent credit system may lead the forty
acres and a mule" farmer to better
management of his affairs.

A FINANCIAL CREDIT.

The splendid financial condition of
this city is well illustrated by the de-
mand which exists for the city orders
as investments. When orders are is
sued if there is no money available at
the time in the fund upon which they
are drawn with which to pay the same
they become interest bearing at the
rate of seven per cent.
Usually because of the low financial
condition of the finances of the cities,
these orders become a sort of drug
on the market and the holder finds
considerable difficulty in converting
them into cash.
In this city the reverse is true,
and men with money are anxious to
secure them. In fact there are always
number of persons with bids waiting
to secure them when they come on the
market. The city officials while hav-
ing no legal control of the matter, en-
deavor to save them for tax payers
of the city as much as possible. But
at the present time there are several
persons with bids awaiting the issu-
ance of orders. II the city finances
were not in the very best condition
possible such things would not be.

reasonable guarantee of their continu-
ance for another year"
Russia contains approximately one
sixth of the land area of the globe
and contains about eight per cent of
the entire population of the globe. But
Russia is far behind in the national
ability to properly use its land as we'll
as in the individualism of her people.
If it were not so there would be some
grave dangers possible from the pres
ent internal disturbances in that un-
happy country. The. result is that the
conditions in that country have little
if any effect upon the general condi-
ton of the world.
Therefore, while it may be true that
financial disaster is the national pros
any consideration in estimating :he
possible condition of the world. The
bountiful crops which are everywhere
in evidence throughout the world and
especially in this country, will add
more to the general conditions of pros
perity and it seems possible that there
will be in this country at least a suf-
fering from too much prosperity.
1t is true that when every country
not only has prosperity but suf-
ficiency of food products to avoid pur-
chasing abroad, it is decidedly poor
customer of the country which largely
feeds the world. We are under such
conditions largely deprived of mar
ket and the forcing of our crops on
the home market faster than they can
be consumed must result in lowered
price and a poorer market. This the
Wall Street Journal concludes will re-
suit in the loss of millions of dollars
to the agriculturists of this country.
which loss will be reflected in the COM
mercial and banking industries to the
general injury of the country.

PROBLEM FOR wAHPETON.
Water Question Raised Again in Al
Its Troublesome Aspects.

Its Troublesome Aspects.
Special to The Evening Times.
Wahpeton, N. D., Aug. Is. The
question of obtaining an adequate sup
ply of pure water is again occupy
ing the attention of the city council.
The city we'll doesn't give sufficient
water for the city's needs, and the
council is undecided whether to sink
another shallow we'll or to try for a
deep flow. In either case some way
to provide funds must be devised, as
the city can float no more bonds for
water purposes. The government In
dian school will not be opened until
the water question is settled, and Inn
mediate action must be taken.
About year ago the Northern Paci-
fic and Milwaukee railroads notified
the city that the we'll water was not
adapted to their purposes because it
contained certain salts which affected
their boilers. They asked that per-
mission be granted them to lay private
mains to the river and this was given
them. They have since laid their
mains and will soon get water direct
from the river instead of from the
city's supply. 1t was thought that
when the railroad mains were laid the
we'll would supply the city's needs, but
recent investigations disclose the fact
that the we'll will not supply the city
even when the railroads are getting
their water direct from the river.
The government Indian school con-
tracted for well water from the city
about year ago and the Indian de-
partment has notified the council that
the school will not be opened until
pure we'll water Is furnished.

fled to Canada. The Canadian govern
ment refused extradition on the con-
spiracy charge, but extradited Browne
on an amended charge of being fugi-
tive from justice. A secret service
agency started Brown for New York
from Montreal on July 16 last. His
attorneys expected that he would be
brought to New York, instead United
States Marshal Hendel met the secret
service agent and Browne at Pough-
keepsie and took the prisoner direct
to Sing Sing prison. Counsel for
Browne contended that he was prac-
tically kidnapped.
In his opinion discharging Browne
from custody today Judge Hough de-
clared that there is no authority vest
ed in the United States government to
seize or hold person extraditei in
pursuance of treaty provisions except
on the charge on which the extradition
was granted. The court declared:
This doctrine rests not only prin-
cipally upon the civil rights of fugi-
tive criminal who has been returned
in accordance with an increasingly
civilized international law, but upon
the grounds of national honor impos-
ing upon this government the obliga-
ton to deal with the human being en-
trusted to 1t by a friendly foreign
power only with respect of the matter
by reason of which he was so en-
trusted"

NAL there for few days when he
would return and take it. Mr.. Will
allowed the young man to put up his
horse, paying no more attention to the
matter until he awoke the following
morning and casually inspected the
buggy. A light lap-robe in the bot
tom of the rig was covered with blood
and the rear portion of the rig was
also spattered with blood. Accord
Ing to Mr.. Wills opinion, the young
man was apparently about twenty-fiye.
years OF age. He gave his name as
Andrew Wolson and he volunteered
the Information that he was going to
Buford, near where he claimed his
rather resided. The young man has
failed to call for the horse and bug
~ ana the same are now at Kings
livery barn in this city. This fact is
considered evidence against Wolson.
The residents of White Earth have
made thorough search Of the local.
ity where the bloody garments were
found, and the creek has been dragged
but the body of the victim has not as
yet been discovered. One of the
theories advanced by local residents
is that the murderer probably ended
the woman's life at point near where
the clothes were found. and later re-
moved the dead body to a more Sc
Guided spot, where he may have buried
It. The sheriff at Minot has been noti-
He'd of the mystery and he will prob
ably investigate the matter.

roy overcoat lined with wool, a light
coiored coat and vest and other cloth

canadian brand, is small bay mare
ana weighs about 800 pounds, short
tall, fore foot clipped and both ears

THE RIGHT KIND.

There is no reason for the people
who have been working for the de-
velopment of North Dakota to be dis
couraged over the claims put forth
by the boomers of Canadian lands that
the tide of immigration has left this
state stranded and has set its face
firmly to the regions of the north. A
few pages of recent state history will
prove that these statements are wholly
without foundation.
Last week three car loads of farm
ers from the older states were taken
to one point on the Missouri slope and
it is claimed that every one of them
purchased land. On the same day
large tract of land in the Williston
land district was opened for settle
ment and one hundred and nineteen
filings were made on the first day, the
line being formed the day previous
SO as to be among the lucky ones.
In both instances there was no rush,
NO boom. no disorder. but an earnest
desire to secure a portion of the land
while it yet remains cheap Up in
Canada there is all the wild excitement
of boom days. The towns are being
built beyond what the country will
support. They are being overcrowded
not by cool and conservative farmers
who are looking for homes, but by
boomers who are hoping to get some
thing of the profits while the boom is
on.
Homesteads are being taken a hun
dred and even two hundred miles from
railroads. 1t is true that this country
If 1t becomes great wealth producer
like North Dakota, will be settled in
time. But 1t will be many years. The
country must not only be proven be-
fore its merits can be fixed, but the
grains must be acclimated and adapted
to the short summers with their dan
ger of snow at any time.
While this is being done the pioneers
who have gone into the wilderness
away beyond civilization, will become
discouraged and their lands will pass
into the hands of the spectators and
from them to the actual farmers who
come and make their permanent homes
in the country, build the churches and
schools, change the sod shacks for
commodious farm residences, and the
straw sheds for great we'll built barns.
They are the ones who support the
towns and cities, and who give the
country it's permanent character.
This is the class which is coming to
North Dakota at this time, quietly and
without excitement. but every one lay
ing the foundation for a permanent
home and establishing his right to
share OF the prosperity of the state.

Ex-Governor 8. R. Van SAINT and his

was followed by string of officers
composing the regimental and staff Of

This comprised the escort of the Grand

the Columbia post of Chicago, acting
as personal escort Of the commander

Behind the post came Commander

Following the staff officers, rank after
