south they have had their growing
crops killed by heavy frosts and have
been set back many weeks, while we
are only little delayed in seeding.
The farmers of North Dakota stand
an excellent show of getting big
price for their wheat this year because
the winter wheat crop is going to be
short. l do not think it is particularly
late for seeding"
That the Farmers are looking con-
fident and are expecting good crops Is
evidenced by the way in which they
are buying machinery. Several diff
ferent firms report that they cannot
get enough gasoline engines and plows
to meet the demands of their Gus
toners, and the calls are coming from
all parts of the state.
In the new western part of the state
most of the old land is seeded, but the
cold weather is somewhat delaying
the breaking up of the new land.

HISTORY IN LAW REPORTS.

They Picture Our Civilization for the
Past 500 Years.
The English and American lawyers
and judges have worked out a won
derful system that must command the
admiration of all who have competent
knowledge of it.
The system is formed by the reports
of the decisions of courts of last re-
sort.
There are probably now some 10000
'olumes Of reports, giving the disposi-
ton of hundreds of thousands Of par
ticular instances that have arisen in
the actual course Of the ever chang
ing relations in human affairs.
II every evidence Of our civilization
Of the last 500 years should perish,
says the American Lawyer, and there
should remain only one set of the re-
ports, all Of our institutions; social, re-
ligious and political, and much Of our
science and philosophy, could be re-
constructed from them by the travel
er from New Zealand"

REDUCED RATES COMING IN JULY
After July Grand Forks and Other Boundary Line Cities Will
Have Cent passen!e Fare, Thus Making Good
Saving on Twin City Trips.

General reductions in passenger
and to the Pacific coast points will
soon be announced, effective July L.
They will be due to recent legislation
in Minnesota and North Dakota,
whereby the Minnesota mileage is re-
duced to cents mile and North Da-
rate became effective May /, but the
North Dakota rate does not go into
effect until July 1. A. l.. Craig. pas
senger traffic manager of the Great
Northern, is authority for the an
nouncement that by July the Great
Northern will have it's tariffs COM
pletely revised, allowing all points on
it's system to receive the benefit of the
lower rates in Minnesota and North
Dakota.
At present this is not the case
Grand Forks, N. D., has Scent rate
from all points in Minnesota because
it is outside of Minnesota and the bus
mess is, therefore, under the inter-
state regulations. East Grand Forks,
just across the Red River of the
North in Minnesota, enjoys the Min
nesota 2-cent rate, the difference
amounting to So or more on trip to
the Twin Cities or Duluth.
After July this will be changed.
Grand Forks will have the benefit of
the Minnesota 2-cent rate from all
Minnesota points to East Grand Forks
on the Minnesota side of the river.
The same will apply to other North
Dakota points now compelled to pay
a Scent rate on all through business
from Minnesota. They will pay 2
cents to the state line and then, be-
cause of the lower North Dakota rate
to be- effective July 1, will pay 2 1-2
cents from Grand Forks on.

The last rail on the Aneta-Devils

what will be the main line of the Great
Northern railroad from st. Paul to the
coast, shortening the distance be-

miles. That this line will be used as

June 1, and probably the fastest mail
trains will pass over this cutoff. In

{ The human skull and other parts Of

Sixth erect bridge at jamestown last

relics of a tragedy which occurred
there many years ago. :
The victim was beautiful woman,

lated that she was killed by promi.
nent farmer. It is said that the body
was placed in a barrel and rolled
down. the hill and was buried near the
river by another man, who was paid
$50 to keep quiet about the tragedy.
The tragedy is said to have taken
place twenty-four years ago, and both
the alleged murderer and the man
who buried the body are now dead,
the former having been killed in q
pistol duel and the latter mysterious
ly perishing in fire, many believing
that he, too, was a victim of foul play.
It Is said that there never was any
prosecution Of the alleged murderer;
but that the matter was hushed up.

Seeding is in progress throughout
nearly the entire state and a good crop
is being put in according to the pros.
pect reports which are being received
at the Fargo machinery houses. In
spite of the chilly weather which the
state has been experiencing of late
the farmers are all busy and cheerful
and the general prospects are bright.
Owing to the fact that the surface of
the ground generally freezes at night
the farmers cannot do much seeding
early In the morning, but the days are
fairly warm and by the middle of the
forenoon the sun has thawed out the
ground so that operations can be
commenced. The days at this time of
the year are long and it is possible
for the farmers to work late in the
evening so that they can make up in
this way for the time lost by not get
ting to work early in the morning, and
are accomplishing great deal of
work.
In the counties in the southern part
OF the state wheat is practically all
in the ground, according to the most
reliable estimates. Through the cen
ter of the state the farmers have COM
pleted a large part of the seeding.
while in the northern part of the state
operations are we'll under way. TAX
ing the state as a whole about two
thirds of the wheat is in.
Prospects in the Red river counties
are much better than they have been
for a number of years. The ground is
In unusually good condition, seeding
is going forward rapidly and all that
is needed is little warm weather to
cause wonderful growth.
In discussing this matter Dan Stew
art, who has been in the machinery
business for number of years, said:
I'm my opinion conditions were
never better. The daily thawing and
freezing has mellowed the ground so
that it will not break up and become
lumpy. On account of the cold wealth
er nothing has grown as yet. The
ground is unusually clean and the
wheat being put in now will get the
start of the weeds and should be able
to kill them out. During my twenty
five years experience in North Dakota,
although l have seen the crops in
earlier never saw conditions general
ly so favorable

conditions in the valley are the
best they have been for number of
years." said Mr.. Luke. The ground
is comparatively dry SO that it is easy
to seed it and the farmers are all
hopeful"

of the lower rates in Minnesota and
North Dakota. On straight mileage
basis this saving will mount to SIS or
more from the Twin Cities or Duluth
to Montana and Washington points.
North Dakota commercial organiza-
tons, particularly the Commercial
club of Grand Forks, have been act
i've in demanding that North Dakota
points be given the benefit OF the low
er Minnesota rate on business from
that state to the state line. Their
claims have been pressed before the
railroads, the state railroad commits
sicns and the interstate commerce
commission. 1t is announced by Mr..
Craig that it is physically impossible
for the roads to prepare the necessary
new tariffs before July 1.
I'VE had all we could do to begin to
get ready to do business under the
new Minnesota rate by May L." is Mr..
Craig's statement. Interstate rates
must be filed with the interstate COM
mission and must be prepared in
certain manner. BY working on both
