Fine Eggs From Hell.

Hankinson News: John He'll, Jr., of
Greendale, furnishes an example these
days of the good results Of. diversified
farming. Mr.. He'll is quite a chicken
fancier and keeps some well bred
Plymouth Rock fowls. The birds are
warmly housed and well cared for,
with the result that he reaps a nice
income at present with eggs worth
BIC dozen, bringing in from fifteen
to thirty dozen each trip to town. BY
means OF a rubber stamp Mr.. He'll
marks the date on which each egg is
gathered, and his customers are thus
assured Of fresh hen fruit. Even with
eggs bringing the usual prices Mr..
Hell says his hens pay a nice diyi-
dend on the investment each year.

LONGFELLOW'S BIRTHDAY
STATE sUPT. sTockWELL ISSUES
Z CIRCULAR LETTER TO TEACH
Frs AND OFFICERS
SUGGESTION FOR MEMORIAL
SERVICE IN SCHOOLS in HON.
OR OF BELOVED POET

State Superintendent Stockwell has
issued the following circular to the
teachers and county superintendent
of the state with reference to cele-
bration of the birthday of Henry w.
Longfellow: .#
February 9th, 1907, is the hun
dredth anniversary Of the birth of
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Born
in Portland, Maine, educated at Bow
dom college, he spent the first twenty
three years of his life after leaving
college as teacher at his Alma
Mater, and later at Harvard. He left
the work of the class room to devote
his entire energies to literary work.
While possibly he may not be con-
sidered the greatest poet America has
ever produced, yet, no other has had
SO strong hold on the affections of
the American people as Longfellow.
He has sometimes been called the
Children's Poet and, as such, it seems
lifting to us that more than passing
notice be given to this anniversary in
the public schools of North Dakota.
It is therefore our recommendation
thatsa portion of the afternoon of
Wednesday, February 9th, be set
apart for the purpose of recounting
the life of this poet and for the read.
ing and study of his works. There
are few children who are not more or
less familiar with 'sThe Children's
Hour, z The Village Blacksmith the
Psalm of Life" HHiawatha,' EVAN
geline' and t.Courtship of Miles Stand
fsh. We believe it is possible for
something to be found in the poems of
Longfellow which will appeal to chill
dren of every grade.
Because of the probability that
somewhat elaborate programs will be
given in connection with the BIRTH
days of Washington and Lincoln, we
90 not recommend at this time any
elaborate program upon the occasion
OF the Longfellow anniversary, yet, it
seems to us that the day ought not to
pass without some recognition. We
leave it with the individual superin-
tendent and teacher to work out the
details of this memorial. ~

WHAT They SAY

Representative A. L. Martin: While
out home at Sentinel Butte ] made
minute inquiries as to how stock was

find that there was even less loss
reported than on ordinary winters SO
far. ! have a band of about 5000
sheep and the loss is trifing and cat

is A man should have little hell so
he can appreciate heaven well"
In William Donnelly's advice to the
merchants he said "Do not cut your
neighbours prices but pick up some other
article more in daily use than the one he
has cut on, and put living profit on it.
Now, if the merchant will put all his
goods down to a living profit then the
farmer can do business with him and
won't have to send away for his overalls.
h Does the farmer, after working from
early morn till late at night, ever get
much more than a living? Isn't there a
lot of them that don't get more than
half living? /,
Look at what the farmer calls home
and then look at the business mans
home, and then think which one has the
hardest time in the strenuous hustle Of
existence! Fl
In Mr.. Jones' address he told of the
large per cent the merhants had paid the
clergymen of this state Oh, but if there
only could have been theater man there
to tell of the big per cent their class Of
people get from the business man!
Two years ago the real estate men
made a big cry before the lawmaker for
help and they got $4,000 They claimed
that every new settler that came to the
state would be worth four dollars or
more to the state, and I see in ex-Gov-
enor .Sarle's address to the legislature he
tells them of the great expense the state
has been put to the last two years on ac-
count of so many more people coming
to it!
Well, I believe that some people think
the farmer is like a sheep. Some think
because sheep lies still while its throat
is cut that it don't hurt any. VS..
The farmer lives in his little hut half
starved and frozen, and still some people
think, it is all right because he don't go
a hollering around before the lawmakers.
Where would the world be if it were
not for the farmer?
Still the merchant thinks he is the
whole cheese The farmer is asking for
protection enough so he can live; will he
get it or not? A HAY SEED.

Representative White does not
relish the complete condemnation of
his primary election bill by the Grand
Forks Herald and in an open letter to
the editor of the Herald he calls at
tention to what he believes to be the
meritorious features of the bill and
the fallacies Of the Herald's criticism.
As a contribution to primary election
literature Mr.. Whites letter win repay
reading, and the difference of opinion
that has arisen between him and the
Herald proves that the sincerest adj
yocates OF primary election are by no
means agreed upon the best means
for putting the direct expression of
the popular will into effect. .a..5

The RETAILERS DRESSED down
BMeigh County Farmer Takes Fall Out Of the Store
keepers and Swings Around the Circle
with His Comments

r. see in The Tribune of January Is,
that the retail merchants Of North Da-
kota have had a meeting in Bismarck,
and that they have cracked the farmers
head a little for sending away for some
of his goods, and that they have march
ed up to the capitol before the lawmak-
ers to see if they couldn't do something
for them !. INV E35 ..3.5
My advice to them is: if they are hav-
ing such a hard time of it, why not take
a farm and have the protection that the
farmer does? He gets at present about
80 cents a bushel (about GA pounds as
it comes from the machine is counted a
busheD, for his wheat. He pays $2.6G
per hundred for his flour, and everything
else in proportion, such as farm. imple-
ments, harness, lumber, etc. 1t all comes
easy to the farmer-over the left.
think that the farmer pays taxes as
we'll as any one does, and what protec-
ton has he? 7; #
In Governor Burke's address to the
merchants he said the question of freight
rates will be before the legislature. He
says we want rates which are reason
able | wish he would look into the
-four mills and get us a reasonable rate
for grinding. .:gNs. .GS
Mr. J. ]. Hill said he based his freight
rates on how much the road made He
said he was afraid he would have to raise
the rate, as his hired help had asked
for higher. wages, as everything they had
to buy had gone up in price. Yes, in
the last year or two nearly all the labor
ing classes have had raise in their
wages and where does the burden lay?
Why, on the farmers shoulders of
course He pays more for his coal than
he did few years ago; lumber has gone
up in price; machinery has gone up in
price; yet he sells his grain and stock at
a low figure and where the difference in
it takes a little over half to grind the
wheat and about two-thirds is, added to
the critter for butchering it.
And still the business man is holler-
ing for protection! If they think their
path is so thorny just let them try the
farmers path a while; as the old saying

The cry of egive the railroad COM
missioners more power is one that
comes up at every session. The fact
is the railroad commission now has
more power than 1t can or will exer-
else in a thousand years. No state
in the nuion has such complete, such
stringent, such advanced laws in rela-
tdon to the regulation of railroads as
North Dakota. The commission has
more power than they need and
need less than they have.

MEMsER or rHs ASSOCIATED PRESS
azs -

The Tribune presents this morning
resume of the arguments on the
matters of anti-pass legislation, two
cent fare and reciprocal demurrage,
presented before the senate and house
committees by the representatives of
the roads. With respect to the ami
pass bill, there is no question but it
can be advocated by excellent argu-
ments. With respect to the proposed
law fixing maximum of two cents
mile as passenger tariff, the Tribune
believes conditions in the state hardly
Justify a two cent fare law. We are
not in the same position as the set
tied eastern states, where traffic is
heavier, where there is large inter-
borough traffic in many cases and the
railroads profit from the short haul of
many passengers. Railroading in the
northwest is more expensive, the cost
of maintaining equipment for over
land trains is greater, traffic is not so
heavy and reduction in tariffs, if made,
is likely to be at the cost of efficiency
of service and the comfort and safety
of passengers. A rate of two and a
half cents. with special provisions for
the sale of mileage, good until used by
Whomever may hold it, would probably
be not an unfair arrangement There
is no particular reason why a two
Cent fare provision should be hitched
up with an anti-pass law. What we
need to be assured Of is good equip
ment, comfortable trains, regular
schedules on branch lines, safety of
operation, and the best degree of EN-.
cheney consistent with fair returns.

Beaver Protection Unpopular.

u Beaver Protection Unpopular.
.%4 A few years ago a law was
passed which protected the beaver
in this state during the entire
year, At this time there is a
strong tendency to repeal this law
Z on the ground that the closed
season extending over a number
of years has permitted the
animals to increase to such an ex-
tent that they are now destroying
many of the young groves in close
!, proximity to the streams in which
they live. Some amendment to
the present law will likely be
enacted so that the number may
be reduced below the danger
point without entirely destroying
the species.

| Now the truth is 1 do not think
there is at present over 200 live
beaver in the state of North Dakota.
There were two or three small
colonies on Knife river and Square
Butte creek but they have been
destroyed as we'll as all that had at
tempted to build along the Missouri
on the west branch for distance of
at least 200 miles. Those that were
killed on Square Butte creek it is
claimed was done through permission
! of the state game warden of the dis
| trict, whatever authority he had to
issue the order. fz
1 And further, if at any place that the
beavers become nuisance to any
land owner and that the law as now
created is made to take cognizance OF
this fact-allow only the game warden
to do the killing and the proceeds go
to the state and If this Dis done I am
| not much afraid that the land owner
will make any complaint to the
Wardens for their radiance. In other
words whatever true cry is now made
! against the beavers is prompted by
the interest in the value their hides
will bring to the parties trying to
work up anti-beaver legislation.
| In this county of Mclean in spite of
every effort made by law abiding citi-
zens and the vigilence of the wardens
! do not think today there are over
twenty-five beaver in the county and
it is the third largest in era in the
state. In the Painted WOODS lake we
nave or had--for we can never tell
the day they will be destroyed
small colony of about z or 8 beavers.
They came into the lake in the sum-
mer of 1901--the lake was then
stagnant and very Iowa big mud
puddle with but few fish. The beaver.
through the summer built VA large
dam-raised the water line six feet
with a backwater of six miles. And
IN spite of illegal fishing and the
trapping out Of the muskrates by
trappers which stopped ventilation
and caused thousands upon thousands
OF fish to smother-they are still
plentiful there, especially the perch
winch swarm around the ventilation
OF the two beaver houses and are
thereby carried safely through the
hard freezing Of the winter months.
.. g. Wing, one of the land owners
at Painted Woods lake, says that the.
beaver there are worth 500 year to

ana they are welcome to the little
brush that they may use for feed be-
cause where beaver dams are tl,ous.

and die for want of moisture.
Both the beaver and muskrafs WITH
the work they do, are valuable ami.
