1.73S and Judge Fisk lead Of 1851.
Fargo reports indicate lead OF 200 for
Burke and 500 for Fisk. Barnes Coun-
ty reports 500 majority for the Demo-
cratic ticket, with Judge Fisk running
slightly behind Burke.
Full returns from Grand Forks city
indicate that Burke and Fske carried
every ward, giving Burke a majority
Of SAB and Fisk majority of 1.048.
Chairman Casilel claims that the Dem
ocrats have carried the state by 10000.
and that this will carry every candi-
date with it by possibly reduced ma
porities.
John Burke telephoned. from Devils
Lake that the Democrats We're rum
ming six to one ahead in that city with
few county precincts heard from.
Reports from Grand FORKS county
outside of the city indicate that Burke
and Fisk will have large maiortties.
In making his estimate. Chairman
Cashel explains that none CT the DEM
ocratic stroneholds have h--n heard
from. Practically all reports SO far re-
ceived at headquarters being from Re-
publican counties and precincts.
Judge Fisk carried every precinct in
the City of jamestown by total of
$50 votes. This is Judge Knauf's
home city. Sixty-flve precincts at IL
; o'clock gave Burke majority Of 2.200
and Fisk majority Of 1000.
The most discourasins report re-
ceived at Democratic headquarters
; was from Bismarck, showing that
sarles and Knauf had defeated Burke
and Fisk by about 2 to 1.
Chairman Cashel estimates now that
Burke will not have less than 10000
majority in the state aYl. risk will

Concord, N. H., Nov. S.-Slow cleo
ton returns showed no material
change in the results. Floyd, Repub-
lican, led Jameson, Democrat, for gov
ernor by an estimated plurality of
2,220. A majority vote is required and
the election will probably be thrown
into the legislature, which, 1t is be-
lieved, will be Republican. Congress-
men currier and sulloway, both Re-
publicans, were easily returned.
Republicans Sweep Connecticut.
New Haven. Conn.,, Nov. S.-The Re-
npblicans won almost as sweeping a
victory in Connecticut as they did two
years ago, the pluralities being far
greater than in the off year and COM
pairing favorably with the high tide of
votes that swept the state in 1904.
The entire state ticket. all the five
congressman, and almost as many
seats in the senate and house as they
held at the last session Of the general
assembly, were captured by the Re.
publicans.

Legislature and Judiciary.
In the interest which centered about
the Hughes.H Hearst vote little notice
was given to the judiciary results by the
masses Wednesday night. The indicated
defeat of the judiciary nominators'
ticket in this city-the ticket which
was named by committee of lawyers
headed by Joseph H. Choate and Al

ton. AS to the legislature, while it is
expected it's complexion will not be
changed materially. still there were
so many interesting contests-many
of them three-cornered in the city
that the finals on the returns were
waited for with interest.

Blow for Reform. Movement.
Philadelphia. Nov. s.-The reform
movement in Philadelphia and
throughout Pennsylvania inaugurated
last: year as a result of the Philadel-
phia gas lease fight, received severe
blow in the election. The latest fig
ures show that everywhere in the city
and state the fusion party opposed to
the regular Republicans was either
badly defeated or had its last years
vote greatly reduced. Stuart, Repub-
lican candidate for governor. against
Emery, fusion, ran very strong every
where and his plurality may reach
$4,000. Incomplete figures from the
81 congressional districts of Pennsyl-
vania indicate that the Democrats
gained five congressman. which will
make their delegation in the next
house six instead of one The next
legislature will remain heavily Re-
publican, although the Democratic and
reform representation will be larger.
Moran Ran Behind Ticket.
Boston, Nov. S.-Revision of the fig

plete returns placing the plurality of
Gov. Curtis Guild, Jr., Republican, over
John B. Moran, Democrat, at 1852,

Brown, Independence league and Dem
.ocrat, by 9,779. The political complex
ion of the congressional delegation re-.

made gain of three in the state sen.
ate, but the lower branch of the legis-
lature will remain unchanged and

possible. SO as to secure representative
samples of the seed being used. Mr..
Wentworth also secured seventy-two
individual ears of corn for the single
ear and kernel tests.
When the field was ready the plant
ing was done by hand for the farmers
variety test, three kernels being placed
in each hill and covered with hoe,
nearly 800 plots being thus planted.
System of Planting.
The kernel test plots were planted
under the following system: In the
first plot, one kernel per hill; in the
second plot, one kernel in every alter
nate hill and two kernels in the others;
in the third plot, two kernels per hill;
in the fourth plot, three and four alter
nately: in the fifth, three per hill; in
the sixth, three and one-half per hill;
in the seventh, four per hill; In the
eighth, four and one-half per hill, and
in the ninth, five per hill. Plots for
testing stock were also planted. one
for testing butt kernels, one for middle
kernels and one for tip kernels.
In the single ear test, the seed for
two rows was all taken from one ear.
All the plots on the entire field were

Senator Fulton tried to get possession
of this letter, his brother offering the
recipient $500 for it.
Hall did protect Brownell and Camp

Letter-GeneraI News.

New York, Dec 5.-The battle
against land frauds in Oregon has been
transferred to the United States sem
ate, and the story Of the fight casts sus-
picion upon Senator c. w. Fulton, Of
Oregon, as q protector of land thieves,
says Golfers Weekly, issued today in
this city. The contest, according TO
Golfers, has been put up to the senate
thru the nomination, by President
Roosevelt, of William C. Bristol for
Oregon's United States district attor-
ney against the wishes Of Senator Full
ton. The nomination came about thru
the effort of the government to break
up the land graft in Oregon. Golfers
says:
Three years ago. the whisper came
east to Washington that wholesale
frauds were being committed in con-
nection with government lands in Ore
gon. With it came the information that
these frauds permeated and tainted ev-
cry circle of life and every stratum Of
business in the state. Business men Of
high standing We're engineering the
steals; lawyers at the head Of the bar
were attending to the details and bank
ers We're financing the deals. Most OF
the state and government officials, 1t
was said, were either directly or indi-
rectly concerned in the frauds or else
We're on such intimate personal terms
with the criminals that the United
States government could not rely on
them to prosecute. And even IL there
were any officials in Oregon fearless
enough to take up the work, he would
face public opinion so hostile as to-
make his efforts useless"
In view of these conditions some
lawyer had to be had in Oregon, on
whom the government could rely, as it's
district attorney. The incumbent Of the
office was John II. Hail. whose con-
science. says Golfers, told him that
he himself was liable to prosecution.

the best ten ears those suitable for
seed were listed, tied and hung up for
future reference. The same method
was followed in all except in the indi-
vidual ear plots, where twenty five in
stead of ten ears were preserved.
BY seed Years is meant all ears Of

Complicated Matter.

Townsend Burden was talking in

experiment of oiing the Newport roads

Mr.. Burden, was more a complicated

able in the producing qualities Of the
seed used by the different farmers over
the county. Each farmer had three
plots, giving him fair trial over the
field. It was also observed, by the
number of seed ears taken from each
and the number of worthless ears, that
there is a very wide difference in the
maturing qualities, and that it is not
always the highest number Of bushels
per acre that gives the most profitable
crop. Another conclusion reached by
the experiments was that while some
farmers are growing corn at a hand
some profit on 800 land, others are
growing it at practically loss
The kernel test was for the purpose
Of determining the number per hill that
will give the best results. The In
dividual ear plots show the wide diff
ference in the breeding qualities, some
giving nearly double the amount OF
grain for a given amount Of labor.
This Is not only true in the ears secured
for the experiments, but In all seed
corn. The importance Of good seed
has been conceded but the experiments
prove the Importance Of the best seed
procurable.

mountain. There three passes over the
lower ranges at the base Of the peak
We're successfully attempted, but in
each instance it was found that the
going was too precipitous to admit of
the pack trains making any progress.
After several attempts the expedition
gave up this line Of attack and crossed
over sixty-ive miles Of tundra to the
southeastern side of the mountain.
Here the attempt looked even more
hopeless, for 1900 feet Of perpendicu-
lar cliff interposed between the highest
spur range and the lowest level of
Mount Mckinley. Since it was now
the first week in August and 1t was
believed that 1t was too late in the
season to go to the western side Of the
mountain, the party abandond the eff
fort to climb. The expedition split in
to groups and explored the surround
ing territory for geological specimens.
DR.. Cook and Edward Barville In
going about to the east discovered a
series of glaciers flowing down through
narrow gorges in the side Of the main
peak. These avenues seemed to them
to offer a solution Of the problem Of
ascent, and. though they had parted
from the rest Of their companions only
on casual journey of exploration, DR..
Cook and his comrade determined to
have try at the mountain itself.
They had with them about fifty
pounds of equipment each. which in
Guided food enough to last them twelve
days. Following along the sides of one
of the glaciers, they began the ascent
Of the mountain on Sept. 8. Their task
was made easier by the fact that the
rains now ceased and clear and cold
weather froze the snow and made the
bridges over the crevasses in the gla-
cier strong.
The first 5000 feet of their ascent
had to be made by cutting footholes In
the icy side of the precipitous cliff. No
place level enough to permit of the
erection Of the tent could be found in
the first five days climbing. They were
forced to burrow into the Ice and take
what cold comfort they could in their
eiderdown sleeping bags. At 14,00D
feet on the sixth day Of the ascent
they found a suitable place to pitch the
tent and stayed there for one comfort
able night They built snow house
as place Of refuge in case storms
should drive them down from the high
er levels Of the mountain.
At 10000 feet both men felt the eff
feet Of the altitude and the severe cold.
Their heart action was SO violent as to
induce great weakness, dizziness and
bleeding at the nose and ears. The
glare Of the snow had brought on snow
blindness. Their provisions, too. were
running low. Though very weak, they
determined to press on.
On Sept 16 they climbed on the in
side of the two peaks, which split the
summit Of the mountain in half. to the

Just one fiftieth of an acre. The plant-
ing was all under the supervision OF
Mr.. Wentworth. The cultivating was
done by Superintendent Koontz and
assistants, and the field now shows the
work was thoroughly done. The count

was done by Mr.. Mead The harvest

Weighing and Grading.
The weighing and grading was done
with a portable platform scale. which
was attached to the wagon and was
of sufficient capacity to hold all the
corn from one plot. With six men to
do the husking and one to follow and
inspect the plot to see that no ears
were missed, the work was rapidly ac-
complished. The corn was then spread
out and the best ten ears were select
ed and thrown back in the hopper to be
weighed. All the marketable ears
were then selected and. their number
recorded. The nubbins and all the
worthless ears were counted. From
