receive water from this system. The
bottom lands adjacent to Buford and
Trenton and the famous Nesson val
ley comprising an area of approXi-
mately $1,000 arces will also be bene-
ntted by pumping systems.
The soil is loan with slight
mixture, of sand. and produces good
crops without irrigation in years when
there Is unusual rainfall. With an
assured water supply this valley will
undoubtedly be one of the most pro-
ductive In the northwest. 1t is adap-
ted to the growing of all the hardy
cereals and forage plants. and sugar
beets will prove profitable crop.
Garden vegetables do we'll. irrigated
potatoes yielding as high as $50 BUSH
els per acre. There is an extensive
range for live stock. and this should
assure a profitable market for all for
age crops raised on the irrigated
farms. The lands lie on the main line
OF the Great Northern railroad. a
transcontinental route. and the Twin
Cities and Duluth offer splendid mar
ket facilities.
The climate is exceedingly health
full and invigorating; the elevation
above sea level is about 1000 feet and
the air is clear and bracng.
The city of Williston is the county
seat. and has a population at present
of about 1900. 1t is central dis
tributing point for section of coun-
try extending approximately GO miles
in each direction. \ townsite is now
being laid out on the government land
about seven miles north of Williston
near the northern limits of the pro-
ject. There is good opening for
manufacturers and skilled mechanics
in this section. Beet sugar factories
would be profitable and probably will
be established as soon as sufficient
land is under irrigation to keep the
factories supplied with beets The es-
Enlistment Of -four mills would save
the expense Of shipping grain to Min
neapolis or st. Paul and then shipping
the -four again. Factories for ex-
tracing oil from flax seed and con-
tening stock would be profitable. The
| cheap fuel in the form of Ignite which
| is so plentiful could be used to de-
velcp power for manufacturing estab-
lishments, indeed the power plant
which Is being installed for irriga-
ting purposes could be used for many
months for this purpose when not in
use for irrigation.
During the summer of 1906 wages
paid to carpenters and other skilled
mechanics ranged from 40 to 60 cents
per hour. Unskilled labor was paid
from 81 to So per day. Fuel consists
of wood hauled from the river bot
toms and of Ignite coal which is
mined everywhere throughout that
section of the country. The farmers
usually mine and haul their own coal
from small mines in the vicinity of
their lands. With irrigation. cotton
wood. box elder. and ash trees grow
rapidly. Good water supply for do
nestle use is obtained from wells at
| a depth of so feet or more. These
wells ready for use cost about SIS

tide of immigration once set in the
direction of the plains, there would
be an imperative demand for trans
portation to carry the products of the
farms to the markets.
Coupled with this opportunity was
the determination of Hill, and he
plunged into the great work with
which his name and fame have since
been irrevocably linked. He began
the building of the Great Northern
under another name and possibly with
little real knowledge of its ultimate
destiny both financially and as trunk
line carrier. He grew with the OPP
portunities and was equal at all times
to the emergency. His headquarters
were, figuratively speaking, in the
saddle, and while other men were
seeking easy berths Hill was burning
midnight oil in the development of
his great enterprise-the building OF
great transcontinental system which
would be fed by the great grain fields
of the plains, the mines of the noun
tains and the timber of the western
slope.
He succeeded in the same manner
that thousands of men have succeed
ed on a smaller scale by placing their
faith in the possibilities of the lands
in the unsettled and untried regions
of the west and have secured such
at low prices because they were the
pioneers, and by waiting until the
country's development made them val
liable, have realized small fortunes.
Hill did that in the building of a
railroad without government aid in
a new and untried country, and the
development of that country has made
him what he was yesterday as he
retired from the active work of the
great system which had been built
under the mastery of his hand and
which he had so long directed.
1t may be true that the Hill system
has prospered by the prosperity of the
country through which it passes and
which contributes to it's support; but
it is also true that that same system
had made possible the development of
one of the richest regions of the
world, and because of that develop
ment and the opportunities it has af-
forded for the marketing of the pro-
ducts of the Drawn and brain of the
great northwest, has enabled thous-
ands of people to become rich, pros
porous and happy because of the con-
version of the unbroken prairie into
we'll titled and profitable farms and
homes.
President Hill is a product of the
northwest. He may be familiar fig
ure in Wall street, but he is a more
familiar one in the towns and villages
of the northwest. He has not only

Concord, N. H., April 4.-Counsel
for the plaintiff in the Eddy case to-

This suit, they declared is not d.

ers from the beginning has been that
because of her incapacity to manage
ner business affairs, reformation as to,

HILLS RETIREMENT.

When the news columns yesterday
announced the retirement of James ].
Hill from active railroad management.
it meant the beginning of the close of
the career of one of the most remark
able railroad magnates of the world
and one of the greatest financial gen
fuses of the age. The history of James
j. Hill reads like stern romance.
Born in comparative poverty and with
nothing in his hereditary makeup to
indicate the indomnitable will and
fearless energy which have marked
his entire life, he has passed from
clerk i'll a country store through the
career of freight HEAVIER on the river
wharf, shipping agent, trader, freight
er and pioneer railroad manipulation
to the head of the greatest railroad
system in the country.
There may be things in President
Hills career that We do not like, and
things in his business methods that
we do not endorse. But none-even
an enemy-can deny him the credit
of financial greatness and far-seeing
business acumen. He did not build
the great fortune with which he is
now surrounded by threading the
primrose path of pleasure. 1t was
energy-indomnitab and never fag-
ging-coupled with his holiness in
enterprises and confidence in his own
judgment which gave him the foun Ia
tons upon which the great railroad
system has been built.
When he was developing into a
trader in the uneXplored and unde-
veloped territory which has later been
networked with the steel rails of his
roads, he foresaw the possibilities of
the future greatness of the country
which now supports those roads. In
his own words he says that when he
saw in the spring that where the rim
of the primitive oxcart had broken
the native sod, the grass was larger
than it was on the untouched prairie,
he knew that the great plains of the
Dakotas and Minnesota were but wait.
ing for the coming of the pioneers
pillow to bring forth great harvests for
the markets of the world. He had
given some attention to the carrying
of freight and realized that when the

been closely identified with every
movement OF his own property in the
regions traversed by his road, but he
has, for business reasons and his own
advantage, given minute attention to
every line of industry which would in
any way contribute to his own profit.
In SO doing he has assisted in the de-
velopment of the country and is one
of its most familiar personages.

COUNTY TO make APPEAL
Case Of Fees For Chief Wade Will Be
Carried to the Supreme
Cont.

One action of the county board of
Cass county Wednesday was the in
struction to the states attorney to
take an appeal from the decision of
Judge Pollock in the case of Chief of
Police Wade of Fargo, who appealed
from the refusal of the board of coun-
ty commissioners to pay certain con-
stable fees in criminal cases. Judge
Pollock decided that the chief of po-
lice was entitled to the fes demanded
and from that decision the county
commissioners appeal to the supreme
court.

The widening of the pavements in
the heavy business sections of the
city is certainly in the line OF pro-
gress. Two other things are needed
to keep the progress modernized. One
is substantial pavement, and the
other a street car line such as all
modern and progressive cities have.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY.


the state accuses the Evening Times
of neglecting to give credit to the
self appointed leader of the late house
in reference to his work, and especi-
ally refers to his primary election
bill-which never became a law When
that measure was under consideration
in the house it was so emasculated
that it bore little resemblance to the
original measure-in fact none, ,eX-
cept in those features which are the
we'll recognized and centralized ideas
of all persons on the matter of pri-
mary election. In contained a pro-
vision for the election Of national
committeeman and presidential cleo
tors, both of which are not in the
law, as we'll as that feature which
was the only original feature of the
measure, requiring the voter to vote
the same party ticket he supported
in the next preceding election unless
before the primary. Practically four
pages of the printed bill were stricken
out and on nearly every page We're
changes and notifications. The house
primary election measure was largely
the work of Representative Shirley of
Nelson county, the chairman of the
committee on elections and privileges.
1t was the Sharpe bill from the SEN
ate, however, which became the pri-
mary election law of the state.
AS to the authorship of the bill
regulating the method of foreclosures
which the same sheet discusses, Rep
resentative Burdick could give some
decidedly interesting information on
that point which has never been
brought to the light of day. 1t would
show that the distinguished leader
sought to get his name on every
meritorious measure which was Of
fered in the house on the grounds that
his leadership would secure the pass
age of the bill while the name of any
of the new members would likely con-
sign it to the legislative boneyard.
The Devils Lake Journal is indig-
nant at the idea of the democratic
initiative and referendum being con-
strued as a resubmission measure. II
is true it is something of a bitter
done for democratic papers which
like the Journal are located in com.
munities in which the sentiment is
strongly prohibition, to have to adj
init that the democratic party has
opened the way for resubmission-in
other words, that a combination of
the democrats and the open result
! missionists has given the state just
what the temperance people have been
fighting against for years. The Jour-
nal argues that if a majority of the
people of the state are favorable to
resubmission the state should have it
and that if a majority of the people
of the state are in favor of saloons
they should be granted That sort OF
reasoning may suit the Journal, but
it hardly satisfies the friends of tenn
! perance.
