ties and conditions that prevail in
North Dakota today, and such are
the things that attract homeseekers
of the east, from the middle west
and from all parts of the country
where conservatism has limited
opportunities, to the great west
country, where men stand shoulder
to shoulder as equals and where
effort and energy alone are neces-
sary to give every man his own.
A farmer who is not afraid Of
work and will apply himself to the
cultivation of his land should easily
be able to pay for his farm with
his first or second crop. When the
farmer Of the eastern or central
states knows, beyond the shadow
of a doubt, that he can sell his 500
an acre farm, 60 west and buy
land that will pay for itself in one
or two crops; when he knows that
he can live with equal and even
better conveniences and comforts,
how long will it be before he takes
advantage of this opportunity?
He does not go simply because
he has never seen and therefore
does not believe, but his neighbor,
his friend, some relative, or an
acquaintance is going and he will
tell the farmer what he has seen,
and sooner or later the farmer
himself will 60 to the state.''
In speaking of the exhibit W.
G. Gilbreath says:
Il was indeed grateful to hear
the favorable comments passed
upon our exhibit, and it appears
to be a revelation to the progress
sive men of Wisconsin that North
Dakota can produce such wonder
full results. Our grains and grasses
far eclipse anything produced by
the state of Wisconsin. A number
of prominent and leading individ-
uals called at our exhibit Tuesday,
among them being Congressman
Murphy of Plattville, who defeat
ed Babcock for Congress, and they
were especially pleased with our
exhibit and very complimentary
in their expressions Of apprecia-
tion of the products of North Da-
kota. By the way, Congressman
Murphy is a .classmate of Senator
McCumber, Judge Morgan and
Tom Marshall.
A gentleman from Chicago
who deals exclusively in the seed
line, stated to me that it was nee
essary for Illinois to secure it's
seed from North Dakota. He is
large dealer in cereals and has
made it study. He stated to me
that he did not believe that the oat
crop of Illinois would average more
than bushels to the acre, and
hence it was necessary to secure
better seed. I mention these few
instances to show you that North
Dakota is still to the forefront,
end is attracting greater attention
than ever before.
"A number of real estate dealers
were at our exhibit Tuesday, as
were also members of the chambers
of commerce, and it was crafty
ing to overhear the favorable re-
marks passed upon the products of
North Dakota as we'll as the state"

MORE ON LUMsER RATE.
Elliott, of Northern Pacific. Gives His
Reasons for Increase.


Washington, Dec. 20.-Howard FL
lott, president Of the Northern Pacific
railway, was the principal witness yes
terday at the hearing of the Pacific
Northwest Lumber companies before
the Interstate Commerce commission.
Mr.. Elliott asserted. as James J. Hill
asserted two or three days ago, that the
advance in rates on lumber made by
the railroads was necessary in order
that they should be compensatory on
the various lines. He said that it had
become evident to the railway managers
that it was necessary to raise the rates
on lumber in order to prevent an abso-
lutte loss to the roads on the traffic.
He explained that the prosperity of
the West and Northwest had so in
creased the traffic on the lines of all
railways in that section that the COM
panies were physically unable to han
die the traffic promptly and efficiently.
This was particularly true of lines IN
the Northwest, the traffic of which was
interfered with in the winter season
very considerably by adverse weather.
He explained that the cost of handling
traffic had increased materially in the
past year or two on account of higher
wages, increased prices of materials
and similar conditions. He believed
that the rates as fixed by the railway
lines in the advanced tariffs promulgat
ed were fair among shippers generally
although he was not so certain thai
they would enable the carriers to make
very much profit.

on Canal Issue.

Washington, Dec. 20. = Justice
Gould, Of the District Supreme court,
yesterday cited George B. Cortelyou,

agreed to pay at the rate of $103. 375
and accrued interest per 800, and on
notice Of the acceptance Of his subscrip-
tion stands ready to deposit the amount
with the assistant treasurer at New
York.
Mr.. Austin informs the court that he
has been advised through the public
press that in direct violation of the
statutes and in absolute disregard Of
the Treasury departments circular, Of
the $25 100000 of the bonds allotted
only 81, 900, 900 were allotted to per-
sons who were individual bidders, and
who, in accordance with the statutes
and said circular, were given equal
opportunity to subscribe therefor; the
remaining $24 900, 900 were allotted to
divers national banks and only $780,
900 of which were allotted to banks
which had offered higher price than
that bid by him.

Manila, Dec. 20.-The assembly has
received favorable report from the
committee to which was referred res
olution asking, congress to give the in
sular government power to make COM
mercial treaties with other countries
in the event OF failure Of tariff reform.
This subject has been much discussed
by the native politicians and press and
as a result the Filipino attitude on free
trade with the United States has under
gone complete change.
Heretofore the politicians and the
press regarded tariff agitation as an
effort to bind the Philippines closely to
the mainland and it was opposed by
the independent factions. Now all
parties unite in demanding the aboli-
tioD Of the Dingley rates.
The commercial treaty project was
presented to the assembly by Nation
alist member, who declared that, al
though his first effort would be toward
free trade, he would in the case of fail
ure urge the commercial treaty plan as
an alternative.

HELP FOR s1GpENrs.
University Establishes Loan Fund In
stead of Making Gifts.

University Of Oregon, Eugene-The
University of Oregon is planning loan
fund Of at least So, 900, based on the
belief that loan is better than an out
right gift in the form Of scholarship.
Some subscriptions have already been
made to the fund, and a number of
prominent men of the state have agreed
to guarantee amounts up to $500. Pres
ident Campbell is using his best efforts
to raise the entire $1,000 this year if
possible.
In almost every high school graduat-
ing class there are some who do not
have the means for college education
but who would take advantage OF any
fair opportunity offered them to secure
one. The treasurer of the loan fund,
who is to be the high school inspector
and will thus have an opportunity to
know personally the members of the
classes, will work in conjunction with
the city superintendents and high school
principals. He will make lcaus to
such students as need them each year
at q low rate of interest, with the agree.
inert that they are to repay the princi.
pal as soon as they are able after leav.
/ ing college A small amount of life in.
surance will be taken out on each al

to have ten men guarantee the fund

The university has had small loar
fund Of about $500 for the past foul
years. During this time, 25 students
have been enabled to complete theil
college course who otherwise could no
