FREE ADVERTISING

The managers of the jamestown Ex-
position are on the anxious seat. They
say that the success Of the exposition
depends almost entirely on the free ad-
-vertising given by. the public press.
But if the editors have to pay their way
on the railroads, but few will be able to
go. And if there is no prospect Of get
ting there. there will be no object for
them to advertise the exposition. The
railroads which also expected to reap a
rich harvest in excursion rates also be-
gin to realize what such indirect and
gratis advertising means to them. It
will be an object lesson all round.
it's an example Of what is happening
allsthe time in all lines Of business.

BIG AND LITTLE CITIES

A short time ago there was held at
Fargo Municipal convention for the
purpose of recommending laws and
amendments to laws affecting the gov
eminent of cities. This was perfectly
proper and doubtless good will come of
it in the present legislature. But we
ask our legislators from this county to
scrutinize these proposed bills with con-
siderable care. There is big difference
between the proper methods of govern
ment of great cities like Fargo and
Grand Forks and little cities like Penn
bina, st. Thomas, Drayton and the like.
The ''red tape" necessary for the goose
and gander is not necessarily necessary
to the goslings, but in fact may be ac-
tually injurious.
There is vast difference between the
legal necessities of paving, sidewalking,
and sewering in the large city and in the
small town with a city government, etc.
In any of these complicated laws,
will our representatives please try and
exempt cities having less than say 1880

paper he might just as well remark
that he has not time to attend to bust
ness. There isn't local paper publish
ed that is SO poor, but what during the
year, in some way. it will give business
information to the reader worth the
price of subscription. But it is also
true that people will take this sort OF
information from the paper without
realizing where it came from, just as
they take drink of water from a pail
or breath of air from the out doors.
But they would miss it it they didn't

The Duluth Board of Trade are exhi-
biting about as much sense as lot of
school boys. They have put forth a
pamphlet that says, that our committee
of the Bankers Association that went
there to examine matters, didn't report
facts; and then the official printer got
out a scurrillous lampoon to the same
effect. If the committee didn't get the
real facts the Duluth Board of Trade
was too blame. Why didn't they show
them? Our committee was there to be
shoWa. Duluth seems to be trying to
kill the goose that lays the golden eggs
for them. But they will only succeed
in making the goose lay the eggs else
where.

FLAX CULTURE

Under date Of October, 1905 the North
Dakota Agricultural College Experiment
Station has issued Bulletin No. II on
!. ;.'Flax Culture" by H. L. Bolley. This
Bulletin is based upon q report made by
Prot. Bolley upon his Investigations re-
lative to fax culture as observed in
America and European countries.
In 1903 Prof. Bolley was sent by the
U. s. Department of Agriculture in CO
operation with the North Dakota Ex-
pertinent Station to the various Euro.
pean countries extensively concerned in
the culture of fax. The object of this
European exploration was to gain def
mite facts that might be of use to fax
growers.
Bulletin No. II also includes many OF
the results which have been obtained in
investigations at the North Dakota Ex-
pertinent Station. On account of the
large cost connected with the publlca-
tion of SO extended a report, the Exper-
iment station has been able to issue a
comparatively limited number. For this
reason the bulletin will not be sent cut
to all the persons on the College mailing
list, but only to such persons as are di-
rectly interested in tiax culture and
make known this fact by direct ap-
plication for the bulletin.
The topics are taken up in the natur-
al order of the culture processes and
discussed to considerable length. The
Bulletin is also illustrated by twenty
two full page engravings.
The U. s. Department of Agriculture
is also publishing the essentials of this
report as farmers bulletin, No. 274
This publication of the department of
Agriculture will be issued in sufficient
numbers to- allow of general distribution,
and one may obtain copies Of the same
by applying directly to the Bureau OF
Plant Industry, Department of Agrienl-
ture, Washington, D. G.
The pamphlet is written in very in
teresting manner and incidentally shows
the vast difference in the conditions OF
the agricultural laborer of North Da-
kota and Russia. We strongly advise
all our readers to send for it, whether
they raise fax or not, and man that
raises fax simply needs it in his bust.
ness.
Prof. Bolley is one of the foremost
agricultural scientists of this country
and has found out more about fax cul.
ture in the last ten years than farmers
had learned in centuries before. That
seems 9 large statement but is strictly
true. North Dakota is indeed fortunate
to have such 9 man among its citizens.

Senator LaMoure has had prepared a
statement showing the land grants of
the different state institutions, the olig-
inal acreage granted, the acreage sold,
the total purchase price of the lands
sold, the average price received, the re-
ceipts to the permanent endowment
fund, the investments made, and other
important particulars which will give
the people of the state exact informa-
tion as to the conditions of the endow-
-ment fund of each institution which was
given land grant by congress at the
time of the formation of the state. This
is information which has not before
been gathered in this form and as pro-
vision has been made for the publica-
tion Of this statement as senate docu-
ment, the information will be available
in complete and compact form. This
leads the Tribune to observe that there
is probably no citizen of the state who
has more fully informed himself with re-
gard to it's finances, in its different de-
partments, than the senator from Penn
bina county. For many years he has
been the chairman of the senate appro-
priation committee, and his duties would
lead him to familiarize himself closely
with the finances of the state if his in
!clinations did not prompt the same spirit
of investigation. As chairman of the
senate committee, his counsel as to the
safe limit of appropriations has always
been wise, and the state has profited
from his familiarity with financial con-
ditions.-Bismarck Tribune.
