Hon. A. J. Volstead of Granite
Falls, the able representative in con-
gaess from the seventh district, was
in Redwood Falls last Wednesday
and Thursday, going on the morning
of the latter day to Wabasso, where
he spoke to the retail merchants of
the county. Mr.. Volstead is power
in the lower house of congress, and
SO ably is he representing his district
that he will not have any opposition
for denomination and possibly not
for reelection this year. Speaking
along political lines he stated that a
Republican would have no excuse for
not supporting the Republican nom
inee for governor this year; that a
man with the legislative record of
A. L. Cole was worthy of the abso-
lutte confidence of his party men, and
also of all those Democrats who fav-
oredlgood roads, state progress, and
the like.

he proposes to insist upon this being.
done. When it is considered that
Minnesota merchandise and grain
rates are over % per cent. higher
than the rates in Iowa the people
can easily see what Mr.. Cole means.
In addition Mr.. Cole, who was a
supporter of the reciprocal demur-
rage bill in the last session, insists
that a similar bill to what is known
as the Nolan bill of the last session
should be passed at the 1907 session.
This means that when you are
charged demurrage by railroad
company when it fails to get you a
car within a reasonable time, or
when it unnecessarily delays your
goods in transit.
Who is Cole? Mr.. Cole is a man
who does things, as evidenced by
one of the most magnificent legis-
lative records a legislator has ever
possessed. The people can trust him.
He will do what he says, or he will
tell you just why.
You can trust Mr.. Cole to see that
transportation rates are reduced, to
see that a demurrage bill is enacted
and to see that all necessary reforms
are enacted in our state government.
You can vote for Cole, and be
glad that you did so.

When the Republican legislature
invested the railroad and warehouse
commission with power to fix the
valuations of different railroad prop
critics in this state and then fix a
maximum rate for carrying freight
of all kinds it was the people telling
the commission to get busy and do
something. The fact that it took
the commission and the present
governor 16 months after that ses-
sion adjourned to learn that the
people were stirred up over extor-
tionate rates is no credit to either
the governor nor the commission.
The people are not sleeping, but
watching, but when they speak woe
be unto him who has proved recreant
to his trust.

Chas. K. Odekirk states that up
to last Thursday he received over
5000 bushels of new wheat at Bing-
ham Bros. elevator. This graded
No. 2 and No. 3, and all would have
graded No. 2 had it passed thru the
stacking sweat. In view of the re-
cent rains Mr.. Odekirk doubts
whether there will be any more
wheat in this section that will grade
better than No. 3.
Now that the enterprising congre-
cation Of the Christian church is
constructing most magnificent
edifice at cost Of nearly $4,000 on
their site east of the hose house it is
time for the city council to consider
the removal of the disappearing
rookery and either build a good
city hall in its place, or placing the
old building where it will not injure
the appearance of better structures
The city owes this to the Christian
church congregation and what is
better still, it owes it to itself tt
have city hall that will be credit
to Redwood Falls. But the old bel
tower and hose house must be re.
moved in justice to what is going tc
be civic center.
The White Ribboners met in the

the lines of evangelistic effort,

Of all the public service corpora
lions we know of none which pos
sess a more cynical contempt for the
rights of the people than the express
companies. These corporations have
boosted rates on express carvings
persistently during the past several
years. The fruit rate for carrying
fruit has been almost doubled in the
past five years, if shippers are to be
believed. The ordinary package
rate from Minneapolis and St. Paul
to this city has been increased one
fifth, and the tendency of these
most pernicious concerns is to boost,
rather than decrease at. time when
everything is on the downward ten
dency. Is there not some senator
or representative, who in addition to
making wishy-washy preliminary
statement that he will work to
relieve this outrage, will actually
get down to business when the legis-
lature meets and see that it is done?
The time for action has come. Who
will listen to the call for arms?

An illustration of what home
builders can do is seen in the Apitz
and Pease buildings, the former of
which is completed, and the latter
of which is very near that stage.
The foundation and brick workwas all
done by the excellent crew ofmasons
working under Orrin DeGroat, the
contractor on that portion of the
building, and builder who has him
self shown perfection in that line of
building. The carpenter work was
all done by Asa Carkhuff and his
crew of men, Mr.. Carkhuff having
taken the contract, as he has other
contracts of similar character for
long time past. The painting was
all done by Mckay & Son, and the
plumbing of the Apitz building was
done by E. M. Mellen, who has re-
Gently opened a plumbing shop here,
while in the Pease building the work
was done by Mr.. Pease's own plumb
err, Frank Parrish. Each and every
detail of the work is perfect and it
clearly demonstrates that we have
men in Redwood Falls who can take
building contracts and push them to
satisfactory completion. When the
Christian church is completed The
Gazette will have more to say about
what can be done by home workmen,
and particularly under the direction
of such men as Mr.. DeGroat, Mr..
Carkhuff and Rev. E. G.. Nicholson.

QUARANTINE REMOVED.

Fargo Forum: The quarantine OF
cattle in the eastern part of this state
has heen removed.
For several months 1t has been en-
pected that an order to this effect
would be made hut it was supposed
that Chief Inspector Ramsey. of the
bureau of animal industry would first
make an investigation. Dr. Ramsey
was engaged in other parts of the
country, however. and. acting on the
recommendation OF DR.. r. H. Tracy.
chief of the bureau for the states OF
North and South Dakota and Mime
sofa and Montana. Secretary Wilson
issued his order which becomes effec-
tive at once
The quarantine on cattle in North
Dakota has been effective for over two
years. In July. 1904. officials of the
bureau OF animal industry made an
investigation OF the conditions on the
ranges in this state. 1t was found that
the cattle and sheep in the state were
afflicted with scabies to such an en-
tent that 1t was decided to maintain
strict quarantine.
The officials OF the bureau OF animal
industry at once commenced Il CAM
paign against the disease.
BY persistent dipping. conditions
have been so improved that the order
removing the quarantine does not
come as surprise.
The part of the state affected by the
order Of Secretary Wilson lies east Of
the western boundary lines OF the
counties OF Dickey. LaMoure, Barnes,
Grisgs. Nelson. McHenry and Botti-
neau and north of the southern bound
AIRY lines of the counties of Benson,
Pierce and McHenry.
In the western part OF the state,
while conditions have been greatly i'm
proved. there still exists scabies.
In Stutsman and Morton counties it
is claimed that conditions are the
worst.
In South Dakota the quarantine has
been raised on all that part of the state
lying east of the Missouri river In
Montana the quarantine has been re-
moved from all that part of the state
lying west of the western boundary
lines of the county of Teton and south
of the southern lines of the counties of
Teton. Chouteau and Dawson.
The quarantine on sheep will still
be maintained in all parts of North
Dakota. The sheep raisers have not
co-operated with the federal officials
in the stamping out of the disease as
the cattle raisers have, and not as
great success has been attained in era
dicating the disease among sheep.
Recently DR.. Tracy was engaged in
sending out letters to inspectors in
the field OF the order Of Secretary Will
son. Railroad officials have already
been notified of the order and here
after cattle will be accepted for ship
ment in the favored districts with
out being accompanied by inspection
certificates
THE force OF the bureau of animal
industry in North Dakota will not be
decreased as a result of the raising of
the quarantine" said DR.. Tracy.
There will still be plenty of work
/ inspecting sheep and horses On the
Indian reservation there is an epi-
demic of CHAMBERS. which will require
considerable attention"

BARLEY AS FORAGE CROP.

j. c. Dawes, formerly a leading
farmer in the famous Gallatin valley,
but for the past two years engaged in
dry land farming. has demonstrated
beyond a possible doubt that new
epoch has been opened to the dry land
farmer. During the past two years
MIR. Dawes has experimental in
raising a species of Russion barley
produced extensively on the steppes
of Russia. This grain differs some
what from native grain. The head
resembles that of wheat while the
kernel also bears a resemblance to
the same cereal. Fifty bushels of
well-developed grain can be raised
from one acre on dry bench land with
out water. The crop natures in about
ninety days. thus it is possible, by
early seeding, to avoid the hot wither-
ing sun OF late July and August. This
year Mr.. Dawes seeded his ground
on April Is and July Is the reapers
were running. Russian barley can
be threshed and used precisely as
other grain. However. another idea
in which Mr.. Dawes is much inter-
ested an (Which he has demonstrate
ed to be successful, is the feeding of
the Russion grain in the straw to
live stock, sheep. cattle and hogs.
He declares that one ton of barley
fed in the straw contains as much
nutrition as three tons of the best
alfalfa. The straw is tender and sweet
and live stock eat It readily.

LADD REPLIES.
Commissioner Ladd Sends Open Letter
TO Paint Grinders Association.


To the Paint Grinders association
OF the United States: In reply to
your open letter under date of Sept
5. 1906. published in the newspapers
and addressed to the undersigned.
beg to reply as follows:
The North Dakota Agricultural En-
pertinent Station is at the present
time engaged in making investigation
with various paints for the purpose
of determining their relative merits.
Such an investigation must of neces-
sity be continued through period of
years. probably six or eight years in
order to reach conclusive results.
take ii that 1t is the wish of the
Paint Grinders association that more
comprehensive investigations be UNI
dertaken so as to determine the merits
of certain materials now being used
in the manufacture Of paints, and
this for the purpose OF determining
their relative merit as compared with
the best grades of white lead. or white
lead and zinc. or the so-called "statu-
tory pigments"
1t seems to me that this Is the most
important problem and one worthy
OF the most careful and accurate in
vestigation, requiring, not only large
amount of practical work but much
labratory research work and also an
investigation of the methods of man
ufacture.
l regret that the experiment station,
with its limited means for research
work is not in position to UNDER
take such an investigation upon its
own initiative and without the addi-
ton of further funds. Lack of a suit
able income prevents this course;
however, if it is the desire of your as
sociation that such an investigation
be undertaken, which shall be as
broad and comprehensive in its scope
as can be made under existing condi-
tons. and to continue for a sufficient
length of TIME to warrant the drawing
of definite conclusions, l believe that
the board of trustees of the agricult-
ural college and the experiment sta
ton would be willing to receive a do
nation from those who may have suf-
ficient interests in this matter to de-
sire such an investigation to be con-
Quoted. If the necessary financial
means can be had for conducting the
investigation, and without placing re-
strictions upon the investigations to
be undertaken, assure you the same
would be conducted by this depart
ment with the greatest pleasure, re-
serving to this institution the right
to conduct the investigation in a way
which should seem most wise for Sc
curing the desired information. In all
such investigations. however, the sta
ton would be most glad to receive
suggestions and intelligent criticism
from all interested sources
Very truly yours.

by we, as an organization, can go
before the railway managers and ten
der to them the special and valuable
service of our organization in their
efforts to control or eradicate the
evil of which they complain? AS the
situation is at present, 1t is impos-
sible for the organization to pass up
on the guilt or innocence of a member
dismissed under this charge, in the
absence Of any proof or evidence
whatsoever and in the fact of his de-
claration of innocence. Uniting with
the railway managers in this task
would seem to be the only logical and
reasonable solution of his perplexing
problem. The difficulties that lie in
the way of obtaining the desired re-
suits is not underestimate, but
where there is will a way will be
found. The advantages of this pro-
position to the railway companies
will, We believe, be duly appreciated,
and upon this contingency depends
the success of our undertaking. 1t is
hoped that a spirit of reason and
fairness will permeate every move
toward the desired end. The Order
of Railway Conductors enjoys the
reputation of being one of the most,
If not the most. conservative of labor
organizations. Let us always be con-
sentative, but this need be no bar
rier to progress. Every member of
the order should take personal in
terest in this movement, as there is
no reason for any division of senti-
n.ent between members now in the
passenger service and those who will
eventually succeed them.
