DOG. YOUNG
NOW OF EAST, VISITOR TO NORTH
DAKOTA FOR HIS HEALTH

The Napoleon Homestead, of the
9th inst, contains the following
DR.. C. G.. Young, well known here
years ago and one time a candidate
for railroad commissioner for this
state, but who is now located at Chi
cago, was an eastbound passenger
through here Wednesday from a trip
through the northern part of the
state on a vacation for his health.
Charlie, by which name he was fam
illiarly known here, says that he has
been very successful, from a financial
standpoint, since leaving here less
than ten years ago, being now presi-
dent of a bank at Holiday, Texas
and owning a half interest in a 16,
900 acre ranch near there. He has
been suffering from a bad throai
trouble the past year. Says he was
glad to meet some of his old friends
at the depot here and inquired after
many others. Logan county, hi
states, was where he got his star
and that he will always have a warm
spot in his heart for it.

Reassuring statements have been
madeof the interstate commerce conf
mission as to the probable sufficiency of
cars for the business OF this fall and
winter. There are several reasons
why no such conditions should pre-
vail as those of last winter. First and
most important of them is that the
railroads have been through the mill
of experience and will be better pre-
pared for the rush of fall business.
Another is that a good many people
have taken the precaution to buy
some of their fuel and other stocks
early, and their transp ortation will
be accomplished before the heavy
wheat business comes on. The equip
ment of the roads is also larger and
should be better handled, Given any
thing. like fair conditions and there
should be no repetition of the disa.
greeable incidents and experiences OF
last winter. b i

MORE LIGHT ON DRAINAGE.

3 % -.
The matter of the drainage of the.
Red river valley, that has been prom
inently before the attention of the
public men of that section for several
years, is dealt with in an interesting
fashion in a report prepared by John
Z. Stewart, a government engineer,
who made drainage survey of the
valley for the U. S. department of
agriculture, in connection with Al.
Fellows, formerly state engineer of
this state and T. r, Atkinson, the
present state engineer. The surveys
covered the counties of Cass, Grand
Forks, Walsh, Trail and Pembina.
Some idea is gained from the report
of the great loss to the state from in
sufficient drainage or no drainage at
all, and the Importance of the sub
ject should engage the attention of
the people living in this section un-
til there is some complete and COM
prehensive system of drainage of
these level and low lying lands.
The losses to this portion of the
valley for the year 1905, ais ascer-
tanned by A. L. Fellows, state engi-
neer, and reported to the drainage
convention held in Grand Forks in
January, 1906, indicate in some meas
ure the necessity of drainage and its
appropriate value to farmers. The
following figures were obtained in an
sWer to letters addressed to farmers
in the valley, the replies representing
an area Of 100000 acres. b

The eastern financial press is be.

for it was noticed that at .ucca, N.
