Gresham covered herself with
glory and was grateful to the other
towns of Multnomah county for
participating in her fair. The
showing of live stock, vegetables
and fruit was very fine; there was
a great variety of entertainment;
thousands from Portland were in
attendance. The enterprise was a
success and will be repeated OH a
larger scale next year.

Saturday night October r2th a
bunch of boys went to a Candy sa.
loon and boozed up extensively.
The consequence is that one Of the
lads is dead from the effects of the
drinking and it has aroused the
citizens to such an extent that the
saloonkeeper is likely to get a part
of what is coming to him. Our
laws do not provide a sufficient
penalty for selling liquor TO boys.
II is bad enough to sell il to drunk
Ell men, but TO get the foolish boys
into saloon and fill them up with
the poison should be crime enough
TO make il a life sentence OH the
rock pile.

VOLUME TWENTY. THREE.

Just merely to observe time honored
custom with the rolling around of an
other anniversary of its inaugural num-
the CoURIER-D DEMOCRAT directs the at
tention of it's readers to the fact that
this week the paper enters upon
Volume XVIII. We pass up the op-
portunity afforded of announcing any
innovations, improvements or changing
of plans from the lines upon which the
paper has been conducted in years past,
believing that we always have with us
the implicit confidence of the reader in
such matters. There is, however, one
matter that in passing WE can be ex-
cused from viewing with a feeling of
retrospective pride, the fact that this
paper has on it's list today quite a num-
Der of subscribers to whom the old
COURIER used to make weekly visits way
back in 1885, at the time it was first es-
tablished. To these old pioneer readers
and the hundreds of others, who have
since that time enrolled themselves as
subscribers, the CoUR1ER-D DEMOCRAT
on its birthday anniversary would ex-
press the wish that the mutual &C
quaintance between the paper and its
readers may long continue.

1t the democratic party will clearly and
sunequivocally demand, first, the ascer.
tanning of the value of ali the railroads;
second, the preventing Of overcapitaliza-
ton; and third, the reduction of rates to
a point where they will yield only a
reasonable return upon the real value OF
the roads-if the party will do this, it
will commend itself not only to demo.
Gratis but to those republicans who have
been led to study the railroad question.
The railroad situation presents a vital
issue, and the issue should be so stated
that everyone can understand the party's
position. While democrats may differ
as to the relative Importance of the trust
question the tariff question and the rail
road question, all must agree that the
party must take the side of the common
people on all three questions. Let the
line be drawn between those who want
to make this a government of the people
by the people and for the people and
those who want it to be a government
of the corporations, by the corporations
and for the corporations.

The county auditors of the state are

it will be found that the assessments are
grossly Inadequate, and in some cases
the farmers wagon is assessed for near.

as the farmers of the state are getting
autos themselves, they will not have SO
much complaint to make with regard tc
assessment.

SEED GRAIN PRIZES.

The agricultural department of the
state of North Dakota offers three cash
prizes for the largest and best collection
of grams and grasses raised in any one
county during the year 1907, viz:
First prize $4,000
Second prize. 5000
Third prize 49,. 1000
All entries must be made and exhibit
received on or before August 18, 1907.
The quantity of each sample of grain
sent should not be less than one-half
the size of the ordinary bundle of grain
and should be carefully tied so as to
prevent it getting damaged. There
should be a full bundle of flax, alfalfa
and clover. These grains and grasses
should be carefully packed in lar5e
boxes with sufficient openings to permit
plenty of air to circulate through so as
to prevent the grain from becoming
heated or mold while in transit. The
larger the variety, the more value is
attached to it. Extreme care should be
used in selecting, arranging and packing
each exhibit. The department will
simply take the exhibit from the boxes
and display it, %concealing from the
judges the name of the contestants and
the counties in which the exhibit was
gathered. While it is not absolutely
necessary, it may prove advantageous
to the exhibitor, to have the wheat,
oats, barley, rye, speltz and other grains
stripped. This will make the straw
brighter and more attractive. All
grains and grasses should be shipped by
express so as to prevent the exhibit be-
ing kept in boxes too long and thus
avoid it having a moldy appearance.
The department will pay express
charges. Consign all shipments to w.

POOR FARMING

The stories told of farmers blowing
back their wheat in certain sections of
the state where the soil is light and there
has been a lack of rain only bring forcib-
ly to mind a fact that must be apparent
to many who drive into the country these
days. While the late spring can be
blamed for the condition of the crops
to quite an extent, it is not entirely to
blame. Some of the crops in Cavalier
county have been sown in such a slip
shod manner that nothing short of a
miracle would bring forth a yield.
Many who come to this country have an
idea that if the seed comes anywhere
near contact with the land it must grow
and multiply. This fall will likely teach
many farmers that they must prepare
their land more carefully, rotate their
crops and what is most important, get
an early start. One field will look fine
and right next to it there will be a most
sad sight of dropping wheat. There is
no difference in the soil and the condi-
tons which govern the one govern the
other. The difference is in the persons
who farm the two quarters. One farms
with the head as we'll as the hand. 1t
is safe" to say that at least one-half of
the falling off of the crop this fall, if
there is any appreciable falling off, will
be due to slovenly farming. One drive
into into the country will show one here
and there excellent patches of crop
which extended over wide areas would
mean a bumper crop. OF course there
are exceptions where the soil is light and
where other conditions initiated against
the farmer. But in sections where there
are many fine crops there is little excuse
for poor crops on the land right adjoin-
ing where seemingly practically the same
conditions exist. With intelligent far
ing and foresight Cavalier county is
proof against a crop failure. This fall
will show it and one can safely predict
at this point that Cavalier county will
stand in the front rank as a contributor
to the agricultural wealth of the state
when the harvest day arrives. But how
greater would the contribution be were
intelligent farming used on every quarter
within its border?

The republican ring IN Iowa must be
in a tight fix when it requires the active
assistance of Senator Allison, with one
foot in the grave, to clean out the Cum
Minis gang. In spite of the large re-
publican majority in Iowa, there should
be fair prospects for the democrats
whichever republican faction comes out
on top.

WILL you please tell the old story over

WILL you please tell the old story ove1
again about how the republican party
benefited the common people beyond
estimate with the free alcohollaw? That
bill was killed just as dead last winter
by the Standard Oil interests as it was
the year before, yet the Hansbrough-
Marshall faction made an immense lot
of political capital out of it. Will our
great national republican government
please fix that thing up the way it should
be or else lay down and own that 1T is
bossed body and soul by Rockefeller?
How long is this great nation to be made
the laughing stock of the earth through
the dictates of greed? How long are we
to continue sending to u legislative
halls men who are traitors to their
country and slaves to the Moloch of
money? How can white skinned. in
telligent American citizens calmly sit
back and approve of such men in Office?
Break away, gentlemen, break away.
The system you ~unblushingly foster has
become a stencil in the nostrlls of the
civilized world. Even while it today is
grinding millions from the many for the
pockets of the few, it is held together
only by red tape, the laws delay and
your spoken or unspoken support. You
are not being fooled-you editors and
