F. e. Association

Hon. Joseph NORM, of Neche, and
John A. Eastman, of Carlisle, were in
the city on Tuesday and were talking up
the formation of branch of the new
Farmers Equity Association here.
Bathgate and Neche have formed large
branches and the whole county is to be
canvassed. The principal object of this
Association is to form a farmers combi-
nation for the express purpose of rails
ing the prices of farm products. In this
country it is particularly the price of
wheat which is to be one dollar a bushel
in Chicago. All farmers who join are
to pledge themselves not to sell or con-
tract to sell their wheat for less than
that amount before July LIST 1907. That
is pledge that can easily be taken in
this part, as no one has any wheat to
sell here until about two months later.
A meeting will be called in this city
soon.

A Pioneer Homesteader

Word comes from "Grandma Fadden''
a pioneer residente of this state, and
mother of John and Dick Fadden, at
Larimore, that she will prove up on her
claim in June of this summer, near
Minot. Grandma Fadden as she is af.
fectionately known all over the county.
is 80 years of age and hale and hearty
and proud of being able to go out and
take up land with the young people.
She expresses pioneering as very differ
emit now from that of twenty-five years
ago, when they went back and forth to
their claims with yokes of oxen. Now
they use automobiles. They don't get
lonesome either, as they did in the early
days, when they only saw white face
once in every few weeks: now parties
whiz by in their autos many times day
Grandma has lived on her claim all
all.winter and felt no inconvenience
from the extreme cold weather Grand

Weather and Seeding.

Another cold raw week. Quite snow
furry on Wednesday, May Ist. Noseed-
ing done yet in the county. In a few
favored spots little narrowing has be-
gun. In spots there are still SHOW drifts
in the fields, and lots of big drifts about
town. The crop condition is rapidly be-
coming serious question. If we we're
certain to have late fall, it Ewould not
be so serious, but if the season should
happen to be cut off in the fall by an
early frost, then the damage would be
very great. The mere matter of the
seed being in the granaries at this time
is really benefit, as under the present
weather conditions it is better there
than in the ground.
The fields at this writing are full of
water holes which with the best of
weather to follow, will make complete
work difficult for considerable time yet.
1t is now about the latest spring in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant. Con-
ditions farther south in the winter
wheat states are bad. Some weeks ago
they had a very warm spell, over ninety
in the shade, and last week they had
snow. In St. Paul on Saturday there
was seven inches of snow. Kansas and
that section has had little moisture all
spring, and sort of fly has nearly des-
troyed the Oklahoma crop and badly
damaged that of Kansas. Wheat has
been coming up several cents during the
last two weeks in consequence. The
situation here will soon effect the mar
kets. The present outlook is for large
acreage of barley in place of the intend
ed wheat. To-day, May 3rd, we are ap-
parently very little nearer seeding con-
ditions than we were week ago.

John b. Wallace.

Mr.. Wallace was a pioneer Of this Co
unity. He settled at Drayton in 1881
and until two years ago had been one
OF the most prominent and best known
citizens of the county. He was a man
strong in body and strong in mind. In
public affairs of his own town, county
and state he took leading part. In
addition to numerous municipal and
school district Offices he served two
terms in the legislature and and as
county Judge of this county. He was q
was strong supporter of the prohibit
ton law and gil laws that tended to up
lift the public socially and morally. He
was member of the Methodist church
and here as elsewhere he was an earnest
worker and leader. In every respect he
was manly man. This writer has en-
joyed a close personal acquaintance
with Mr.. Wallace ever since he came to
this county, and has always esteemed
him highly. AS friend he was one whe
was always steadfast and to be depend.
ed on. He was open and above board in
all his dealings and everyone might al
ways know where he stood, politically or
upon any other question. In his home
town no man was more alive to local in
terests, or tried harder to build upNthe
city. When he came to Pembina, while
he came as temporary resident, he was
always good citizen and entered heart
lily into all good enterprises.
In the latter part of his life here he
was stricken with kidney trouble.
The news from California reports that
he suffered minor operation from
which he was about to recover when
kidney trouble set in and he died in
short time.
In California he has two brothers
Albert and Frank, and sister Mrs. r.
H. Young wife of the former editor of
this paper. His immediate family con-
sisted of four boys by his first wife, a
daughter, Mrs. DIR. Healey of Grand
Forks, and boy and girl
by his second wife who survives
him. Two of Mr.. Wallace's
sons were soldiers in the LIST MINI. inlthe
PHILIPPINES, and a brother was killed in
the war with Spain. AS husband and
father Mr.. Wallace was particularly
kind and loving, and spared no. pains
to give his children the best possible
education. Mr.. Wallace was an honored
member of the Masonic order and was
also a Workman. He was made Ma
son in the Pembina lodge and afterward
assisted in forming the Drayton lodge as
charter member.
Many friends in this county, and a
large acquaintance all over the state
will learn with regret his decease and
heartfelt sympat thy with bereaved rela-
tives will be sent across the continent.
A good man has gone.

Frank. G. Myrick Jr. left on Monday
for Roosevelt and other points on the G.
N. in Minnesota looking for wood. 1t is
Mr.. Myricks intention to put in stock
of 500 or more cords of wood this sum-
mer and to make arrangements to keep
full yard from now on. The shortage
of wood the last two months has caused
considerable inconvenience to many,
but this will de obviated in the future
if the wood can be bought at any price.
Ii there is anyone who is opposed to
the county bitches being constructed
across the country from west to east he
ought to take a drive through the CEN
ter of Carlisle and toilette townships,
and Hamilton neighborhood, and he
would soon be convinced that the pro-
ject is as necessary as it is feasible, and
he would not utter word in opposition
if he was true to his convictions. There
are thousands of acres suffering from
standing water, and the season
from now on will have to be exception
ally favorable to admit of any crop be-
ing put in at all. Such drains as are
proposed by the drain commission would
drain every foot of land.

guilty and was given until 10 o'clock
Wednesday forenoon to prepare for

mistaken, and requested his attorney,
