MCCLELLAN BOWS TO TAMMANY


"For several months there has
been open war between Mayor
Mcclellan and Tammany Hall.
The country has been edited with
the assurance that the indepen-
dent young executive of New
York would not bow the knee to
Baal. He would make an admin
istration free from Tammany
influence until he could dethrone
Charles F. Murphy, the Tam
many boss, and make a new
Tammany responsive to his own
control.
"And now the cruel war is
over Mayor Mcclellan and Tam
many are reconciled Murphy
smiles with serene and exuber-
ant joy; and the dove of peace
futters its white wings over the
late belligerents. The high plen-
ipotentiaries were "Big Tim"
Sullivan representing Murphy
and Corporation Counsel Ellison
representing the Mayor. When
the very spare Due de Caviseul
was sent from Paris to London
to negotiate peace, the witty
Charles Townsend was asked
whether France had sent the
preliminaries of peace. He an
swered that he didn't know but
that she had sent the outlines
of an ambassador.
"cBig Tim Sullivan was more
than the outlines Of an ambassa-
dor; he is the very amplitude
of sovereignty. "Big Tim" and
Tammany are altogether trium.
phant, The Mayor who started
out with such loud professions
ends apparently by yielding
everything. The exact terms
of peace are partly matters Of
conjecture, but it seems to be
understood that in return for the
defeat of the recount bill the
Mayor surrenders the control Of
the patronage and the police tc
Tammany. There is a suspicion
that the bargain goes further
and may involve an alliance Of
Tammany with the corrupt ele
ment of the old Republican
machine to defeat the reform
measures of Governor Hughes
"Under this compact Mayor
Mcclellan gains immunity from
an investigation of his title, and
the Tiger re-establishes his full
power in the city government
It illustrates anew the hopeless
ness Of any effort to emancipate
the Democratic party in New
York from the domination o1

CAR FAMINE
PREDICTED
THIS FALL
Soon As Shipping Begins in Earnest
High Price Of Wheat Brings
Greater Car Demand.

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. l6-
That there will be car famine
this year on the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific just as soon
as wheat shipping becomes gener-
al this week seems certain. Dur
ing the past week the railroad
companies have been unable to I'll
promptly the orders for cars, and
there was practically no wheat
shipped. Usually the Great Nor
thern has from 500 to 1000 cars at
Carman, and a plentiful supply at
Grand Forks, Larimore, Devils
Lake, Minot and other points
ready for use when the heavy
wheat shipping season opens, but
this year the conditions are good
deal like last. It is explained that
the cars are now being used prin-
cipally on coal and lumber ship
ments. On account Of the high
price Of wheat, barley and other
products, it is expected that the
demand for cars will be greater
taan last year.

It is estimated the two Dakotas

It is estimated the two Dakotas
and Minnesota have produced
lSO,OOO.OOO bu. in durum. This
is an av-rage yield and promises
excellent returns. The farm price
of the 1905 crop was II cents in
Minnesota, CT in South Dakota
and SO in North Dakota. The farm
price i'm 1906 was IS cent S in
Minnesota, 61 in South Dakota
63 in North Dakota. The farm
price for the present crop is unde-
termined as yet, and will appear
first in the estimate of the depart
lnent Of agriculture in December
next, but it is expected that it will
range 10 to IL cents a bushel high
er than a year ago. On that basis
the money return to the northwest
from the crop now being threshed
will be larger by considerable than
that of last year.-Jamestown Cap.

OF weight, on fields that formerly
yielded 30 to 40, are not common.
In one instance he reports a man
engaged 5000 bushels of oats and
when he threshed he had only L.
400 bushels, and that on $50 an
acre land Oats in Iowa are SELL
ing for 4Oc at the elevators and
they are going to be higher. Mr..
McClusky thinks the oatmeal fac
tories will have a hard time to get
the quality Of oats to make oat-
meal. He also believes they will
have to come to the northwest to
get them, at any rate, and that is
going to make them very high.
He also says the corn crop thru
Iowa is away behind former years
and thinks the farmers will be
lucky if they get half a crop. 1t
will all depend on frost; if it comes
early then the crop will be greatly
damaged. The ears are very short
and if they are burned up with
brother Jack" then that cereal
will be higher than it has been for
years. At any rate he is convinced
that North Dakota is better than
Iowa in many respacts.-McClusky

Refers North Dakota.

It is not infrequent that some
man, worthy of noticing, who has
had a poor opinion Of the soil and
climate of North Dakota, especi-
ally the former, finds something to
change his mind and gives out an
opinion regarding his new way OF
thinking, and believing. This
time it happens to be Alex. Nc
Clushy, brother Of the man Nc
Clusky is named after, who has be-
come convinced that North Dako-
ia is good state to farm in.
A couple of weeks ago Mr.. Alex
left for Iowa to look after his two
farms that are located near the
town of Anthon. He fully intend
ed to get thing in shape and 90
back there to live, never perhaps,
coming here again to farm. When
he got home he saw a great change
from the usual order of things.
Fields that have heretofor yielded
their bonanza each year, Of small
grains, oats and corn, are in a ter
rible plight, weeds taking every
thing. Oats going IS bushels to
the acre, says Mr.. McClusky, and
weighing from Z to 10 pounds short

the western part of the state, but

only in scattered patches.
Nature having done SO little for
North Dakota in the way of for
ests and so much in the way of
suitable soil and climate, it re-
mains for the people to take the
matter in hand and plant trees.
They began doing this in a small
way with the first settlements, and
in recent years the state has assis-
ted. It has planted trees, not only
for experimental purposes, but al
so with view to commercial use.
The state forestry commission has
now published it's twelfth annual
report, a fact which in itself shows
how early interest developed in
this subject. Farmers have plant
ed windbreaks to shelter buildings
and crops, and in many instances
woodlots are growing to supply
posts and fuel. Perhaps the most.
striking example Of the need Of
wood is inthe extreme northwes-
tern part, in Williams and Ward
counties. along the dividing plat
eau between the waters flowing to
the Gulf of Mexico and those flow
ing to the Hudson bay. This re-
gion is almost treeless, but being
fertile, it is rapidly filling with
people. So scare is wood, that
the settlers have as nearly solved
the problem Of living without it as
any farming people i'll the United
States. The make use of a few
willows alongs the water couress,
and cut brush where they can find
it, and not chip or twig is wasted
Were it not that Ignite is found
in many places, it would be impos-
sible, with all their economy, to-
provide their winter fuel.
1t is thus seen that the forest
problem in North Dakota is differ
ent from the problem in most
other places. Many states are
putting forth their best efforts to
save what forests they have, while
North Dakota, having so little to
save, is chiefly concerned in plant
ing. Yet it is caring in meas
for what it already has. Best Of
all, it is laying broad and sure
foundation in it's forestry school
where men will be trained to car
ry the work forward in years to
come.
