"dush" with the peoples money. That is
what helped to put Langdon where it
finds itself today. The taxpayers will
notice that their taxes on Langdon real
estate this year are about %one-fourth
less than they paid last year. Notwith-
standing that the interest on the city's
Indebtedness is a sum in itself, if moth
ing unforeseen happens, we expect to
have all the floating warrants paid off
and a sinking fund started to apply on
the bonded Indebtedness by the time

he Would accent the offer tho hand won16

he would accept the offer the band would
refuse to allow him to work for that
amount. This statement of the mayors
was not made to either of the under
signed but was made to good responsible
parties who will stand pat and can back
up their statement. 1t is immaterial to
the members of the band whether they
play or not as they are simply putting
their own money into it all the time
besides their time, but we we're willing
to do our part so long as the city paid
our leader something for his services, i n
order to keep a band going as we CON
slider it a benefit to the city. but this
action is so small that we consider it
an indirect invitation to disband and we
have done so.

PAPER ON FLAX CULTURE.
Written by Prof. II. L. Bolley, of Fargo.

Under date of October, 1906. the North
Dakota agricultural college, experiment
station has issued Bulletin No. Il on
"FlaX Culture" by H. L. Bolley. This
bulletin is based upon a report made by
Prof. Bolley upon his Investigations re-
latlve to flax culture as observed in
America and European countries.
In 1903 Prof. Bolley was sent by the
United States department of agriculture
IN cooperation with the North Dakota
experiment station to the various Euro
pean countries extensively concerned in
the culture of flax. 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
experiment station. On account of the
large cost connected with the publica-
ton OF so extended a report. the expert
iilttll SLdIlOH DaS been able to ISSUE q
comparatively limited number. For this
reason the bulletin will not be sent out
to all the persons on the college mailing
list, but only to such persons as are
directly Interested in flax culture and
make known this fact by a direct appli-
cation for the bulletin.
The topics are taken up in the natural
order Of the culture processes and dis
cussed to considerable length. The
bulletin is also illustrated by twenty-five
full page engravings.
The United States department Of
agriculture is also publishing the es.
sentlals of this report as a 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 OBJ.
tain copies of the same by applying
directly to the Bureau of Plant Industry
Department of Agriculture. Washington

COMMUNICATION.

Editor CotRIEE-DEMoCRAT:
Since the appropriation to the city
band was cut in two by the council we
have been asked by so many citizens
what the band intended to do that we
take this means of answering. AT a
meeting of the members of the band last
night it was decided to disband. gather
up all band property and advertise same
for sale. The action that the mayor and
city council have taken in this matter is
SO raw that we could not possibly swal-
low it. 1t has always been a hard matter
to keep a band together in Langdon but
since the appropriation of $500 per year
was granted about three years ago up
until the present administration we
were getting along very well with a
little hard work on the part of our
leader and the members. This ap
preparation was granted to the band
through a petition being circulated and
signed by nearly all the tax payers of
the city and they certainly are in favor
of spending that amount of their money
in that way or they would not have
signed the petition, but our mayor and
city council seem to think that the
citizens of Langdon are not wise enough
to know where they want to spend their
money so are taking up the matter them
selves. Another thing that makes this
deal hard to take, for some of our mem
bers at least, is the fact that they were
worked by a false statement made by
our present mayor into voting for him
and he received votes enough out of the
band through this statement that had
they been cast for his opponent would
have changed the result of the election.
Mr.. Kopriva went personally to certain
members of the band and declared him
self in favor of leaving the appropriation
as it was and even went so far as to say
that he would be in favor of increasing
it if the city could afford to do so. This
last statement we of course paid no at
tention to as we were not asking for an
increase and were satisfied as it was
This 1900 went entirely to pay our
leader, the band being self supporting.
We have a good leader who will compare
favorably with leaders who are drawing
from s75 to 500 per month for the same
work that ours is doing for s25 per
month and when it comes to cutting it
in two again it makes it so small that it
is not worth bothering with and even if
