Gentlemen:
AS stated in your paper some time
since, the agricultural. coal-mining and
business interests of northwestern
North Dakota met at Minot February
22d and formed the Northwestern
North Dakota federation. The purpose
of the organization is to investigate
and otherwise-which existed in North
Dakota. especially the northwestern
section. during the past winter: ascer-
tain what suffering. If any was en-
dured; what deaths, if any, occurred
from freezing: what coal and fuel
shortage there was, if any, and to give
to the press and general public the re-
suits of this investigation, limiting the
reports to facts only. At the conven-
ton there were present delegates from
the six northwestern counties-Mc-
Kenzie, Williams, Ward. McHenry. Nc
Lean and Bottineau-who gave detailed
reports as to the conditions existing in
to the many grossly exaggerated and
highly embellished reports of suffering.
and especially deaths from freezing,
which had been spread broadcast, it
was deemed advisable to issue state
ments refuting all false reports and
stating the conditions as they existed
as nearly as possible. Practically ev-
cry paper in the state took hold of this
work and gladly gave publicity to all
that the convention did. The Twin City
papers. Chicago papers and others gave
due notice. The only paper which has
refused to recognize the convention, its
doings, plans. purposes, or in any way,
shape or manner show a willingness to
help in the work is the Grand FORKS
Herald. Inasmuch as the Herald has
been one of the worst offenders in the
way of publishing greatly exaggerated
and highly misleading reports as to
climatic and other conditions, the con-
vention believed it would gladly avail
itself of an opportunity to make
amends, in part. at least The Enclosed
letters, ETC.. will show you the stand
taken by the Herald. trust the course
pursued in this matter by the fedora
ton meets with your approval and that
you will act accordingly.
Very truly yours,
Joseph W. Jackson,
President.

western roads. as he stated that no one
could raise the theory of a strike until
the men themselves had decided what
action they would take in the pending
agreement between the officials and the
employees as to schedule of pay and
hours.
The report that the western lines
would treat with their men as individ-
ual lines, not through the managers
association, was news to the Great
Northern officials, who stated that no
formal plans would be made until it
was known what position the mon
would assume in the settlement of the
wage schedule.

here than they have under similar
conditions in Utah, and | am con-
vinced that there are large tracts
lying open, that will produce
profitable crops without irrigation,
if !aken care of right. The land
should be plowed in the spring
about ten inches deep, and then
the ground must be pulverized
and the weeds kept down during
the summer. If narrowing will
keep them down, it should be har.
rowed. If it requires Giscing or
even blowing again, this should
be done, and the smoothing and
pulverizing should be attended to
so the moisture will not escape.
While in this condition it keeps
gathering and holding moisture,
anc in the fall it is ready for fall
wheat, or in the spring it is ready
for any kind of crop, the fall
wheat or something that natures
early is the safest thing to put in.
The crop must be harvested only
once in two years, and the soil
must be plowed and pulverized
the other year. y
Continuing, Mr.. Wheeler said
that he and party consisting of
Chas. Parsons, John Bitten, F.
T. IIalverson, Jedediah Taylor,
Philip Dance and Walter Bunot
are preparing to 60 out about the
Big Butte to inspect some of those
big flats south of it, with a view
of taking land. Mr.. Parsons has
a corral in that locality, and they
think seriously of drilling a we'll

they can get.

Mr.. Gable explained that the re-
cent strike in The Montana Mine
under the direction of j. A. Czi-
EEK, opening a rich ledge at a
depth of 215O feet, is assurance
of great wealth in other mines
which have not been proven to
have much depth, and this discov-
cry enhances the values of many
other properties. Mr.. 4 u b
said he made a trip thru this val
ley in 1887, but did not recognize
the latent wealth which is now in
evidence.

AUTOMOBILES
CLIMB GRADE
Keen Sport Witnessed as Horseless
Machines Whirl over Course.
One Car Meets with
Mishap

A Packard machine, thirty horse
power, entered in class u by Earl G.
Anthony, scored the record at the Al
tadena hill climb yesterday afternoon,
The start was made at 2:52:49 o'clock
ana the finish occurred Just two min
utes II 3-5 seconds later at 2:55:4 1-5.
1t was the fastest time of the day
by 16 f-5 seconds. The course made
1T necessary for the auto to travel a
mile and q quarter and climb 500 feet
while running the 2:t4 AS seconds.
The climb was combination of skill
on the part of driver and competency
on the part OF the machine that won
the laurels at the contest, and the
same mixture all along down the line
made set of seconds that are not to
be despised
The starting was done by Billy
Ruess, who made such success of the
hill climb timekeepers job last year
He has faculty of getting everything
off on good time and did not cause a
moments delay in the game of trying
out in the race with Father Time.
The weather was ideal. The city
swarmed with automobiles. Pasadena,
with her record of more autos per
capita than any city i'm the west, had to
sit UP and take notice when the big
machines from the Angel city and sur
rounding towns turned out to attend
the climb and see what was doing in
the way of excitement in the automo-
bile world.
The start was made at point block
below the city limits, on Santa Rosa
street, and the finish at a point quar-
ter of mile beyond the finish of last
year. Policing the portion of the course
within the city's boundaries were sew
eral officers of the Pasadena police
force, while the remainder of the course
was guarded by Leon Shelter OF the
dealers association, assisted by forty
or fifty members
l.. V. Harrison superintended the
starting of the machines and Harry
Harrison played king of the jungles at
the finish. Everything went off smooth
ly in general and there was but one
accident to mar the sport of the day.
That was the slip in the twelfth event,
which left an open question as to
whether the Packard car, which ran
the course in the lesser tie of all en-
tries, was really the fastest machine
on the track.
When the twelfth was called there
were two machines to respond. They
were the Packard and a 40-45 horse
power American, a machine with from
ten to fifteen horse the best of the

as he has already shown an ability to
trounce Mike Sullivan he appears to
have a good chance Of holding two
championships
If the events can be arranged Nc
Carey will so time the welter car
nival that the winner may meet Joe

son to believe that Cans would be at a
great disadvantage even with such
weight opposed Joe Is one Of those
phenomenons who are liable to knock
out a heavyweight
Honey Melody who at present
claims the welterweight title, is to
meet Joe Thomas at Philadelphia
March g. and should Melody lose the
present arrangements would receive q
setback Melody will be obliged to
give away much weight and appears in
a bad place. .t
The coming four bout card sched-
ued for March is causing much
comment in Los Angeles and predic-
tions are that Maud Junction will be
sorely taxed to accommodate those
seeking admission.
As of yore, claim is made that Kid
Solomon is at last to meet his Water
loo in Frank Sheck. Now Sheck
showed in his short mixup with Kid
Dalton the other night that he could
give away weight. Dalton knocked
out Sheek and there may be some dope
In that. Sheek later secured q de-
cision over the Italian.

weight championship along about
midnight next Friday and that his
first name Will be Eddie. Meeney Is
certainly a clever boy, but the ques-
tion is can he take punishment that
