RAILROAD immigration agents of the
northwestern roads call attention to the
fact that the greatly exaggerated reports
sent out with reference to the conditions
IN North Dakota during tho past winter
will very likely have a tendency to dis
courage many from coming to the north
west to secure employment. In order
that there may not be a serious short
age of help,they urge farmers and others
to get in communication with their
friends in the east who may be induced
to come west. During April very low
rates will be offered to laborers and
homeeekers. The farmers of the state
should take pains to inform their eastern
friends that the stories of want and
danger circulated about the state in the
east are exaggerated.

GovERNoR-BuEKE, in retoing the road
machinery measure introduced by Hon.
George Rose, of Dickey county, adds:
'sln my judgment it would be unwise
TO change the present law. If a town
ship needs road machinery of greater
value than $500, the township at their
annual meeting may order it. and I am
of the opinion that this amendment to
the present law is not IN the interests Of
she different townships in this state, but
rather in the interests of the machine
companies selling road machinery"

CORN GROWING CONTEST.

For the past few years the Agriculture
al College of Fargo has been directing
corn growing contests in a number of
counties in the state. These contests
are conducted by the pupils of the public
schools, and they have fully demonstrate
ed that corr can be successfully grown
in North Dakota.
County Superintendent Groom has ar
ranged to carry OF one of these contests
in Cavalier county this season. While
the whole proposition is an experiment
and with an ~unfavorable season would
fail, it is we'll worth trying and by re-
peating the trials can be made success
full. The.Agricultural College will furn-
ish the seed and give such information
in regard to corn culture as former trials
have proven of value. In the contest in
this county. President Worst has ad-
vised the county superintendent of two
kinds Of corn known as the Golden
Dent and Gehu.
pun dppllCdLlOll W IlC COutllN SUPER
intendent a package of four ounces or
about $50 kernels of seed will be sent
any pupil for this contest. Each pupil
receiving the seed must agree to care
for and cultivate the corn according to
the rules and regulations furnished with
the seed.
Those who are successful in getting
corn to mature can select a sample of
the ears for an exhibit to be judged
according to the score card used at the
Agricultural College. Prizes amounting
to over $50 will be offered to successful
applicants and these will be scattered in
such a ann as will give pupils in all
sections of the county a far chance.
Printed circulars giving full informa-
ton in regard to this contest will be
sent to all teachers or others interested
IN the contest.

This corn belt is %extenting north very
fast, and already good yields of both
corn and fodder of the highest quality,
have been raised in the northern tier of
counties of North Dakota. Our state
exceis South Dakota in flax, bronze grass
and wheat, as mnch as the more south
North Dakota came close to the 1OO,-
100000 mark in wheat last year, while
South Dakota produced but about half
as much. North Dakota's flax crop has
gone from about 100000 bushels in
1904. to over 100000 last year. In
fact, it is claimed that North Dakota
now grows over half the flax raised in
the United States.

The republican party is now in such
straits That it has just one man whom it
regards as popular enough to be the
candidate for president. Is there any
parallel in history to a situation in which
a party hinges its success on one man,
and when that man is one who has the
courage to drop his own platform and
adopt that of the opposition party: The
republican party claimed a monopoly of
intelligence, while it has fostered a
monopoly of everything else. Isn't it
strange that with all the brains it claims
TO have, 1T has no other popular man in
the party?

CONSIDERABLE hardship is being
wrought on intending Canadian settlers
from this part of the state. A new law
recently gone into effectspeciies certain
points as ports of entry. Here settlers
may cross with live stock only after sub
uniting to a quarantine hold-up of thirty
days. Few men care to tarry by the
way for a month to await the develop
ment of CHAMBERS or other disease in
their animals. AS a consequence several
of those intending to seek their fortunes
in the Canadian West are about to seek
other outlets for their enterprise. In
other words they are going to remain in
North Dakota. And why not?"-Han-
nah Moon.

HANNAH's delegation, representing the
end towns best business interests, GER
tainly meant business when they came
down here last week to urge the loca-
ton of the sub-statlon of the state agri-
cultural college at Hannah. Although
they had to yield to the superior claims
of the county seat and its central loca-
ton there is a great deal to be com-
mended in the way in which the group
of men from Hannah stood together as
a unite as long as there was a possibility
of success for their plan.

SINCE April lst the estray law of this
state gives local authorities the power
to take up and place in the city pound
ali horses, live stock, hogs, etc, found
running at large within the city limits.
This spring the law in this respect will
be enforced without favor being shown
to anyone The ordinance compelling
property owners and tenants to clean up
their back premises and alley ways will
also be given close observance by all
who do not want to have the city take a

The republican house of 1908 had Sc
employees, and these employees cost the
state 1854. The ,nsurgent democratic
house of 1907 had only 81 employees at a
cost to the state of only S13,192. The
republican senate of 1907, with only 40
members to 100 in the house, used 80
employees-more than two to each
senator-at a cost to the state of $3.50.
So you see the state IF North Dakota
had to pay out s43S for every senator
sent to Bismarck, just to see that he
was properly waited on while attending
to the weighty affairs of the state. On
the other hand, the insurgent-demo-
cratic house required only $131.9 per
member for the same services.
