WATCH FOR THE BIRD
WITH THE G|LDEO
BAND
Rugby Business Man Releases
Prairie Chicken With Gold
Bracelet.

A prairie chicken with gold
bracelet attached to a foreleg is wan
dering around somewhere over the
broad expanse of sun kissed prairie
Of North Dakota and nimrods all over
the state are cautioned to be careful
not to injure the gilden band when
they bring to earth the timid game
bird.
The chicken was released by a
prominent clothier of Rugby who
nursed the bird in the basement under
his store, from it slender infancy to
mature chickenhood. Before sending
the bird out in its quest for mate the
Rugby man hied himself to jewel
er's establishment and had the wielder
of the blowpipe manufacture a small
gold bracelet with the name and ad-
dress of the starter engraved thereon.
Any hunter who through the adroit
manipulation of the shot gun Is lucky
enough to bag the bird, is requested
to notify the newspapers and also the
man at whose solicitation the unique
calling card was made. Undoubtedly
the chicken will be killed in several
parts of the state before the end Of
the shooting season next through the
Matching process.

MERCHANTS SEND
ORDERS MONTHS
AHEAD
Anticipate That Supply Houses
Will Be Swamped With
Orders.

North Dakota merchants and manu-
facturers do not anticipate any ma
terial check in the prosperous bust
ness conditions all over the country.
They are thoroughly convinced that
prosperity is due to continue in in
creasing proportion. at least for the
next year or two, in North Dakota
They have demonstrated their conf
dence in future prosperity by sending
in orders for supplies for delivery
ranging from four months to fully a
year hence. Their reason for order
ing supplies so far in advance is that
houses in the east and elsewhere are
at the present time so far behind in
that it is necessary for North Dakota
business men to get their orders in
early. that delivery may be assured
when the season for the disposal of
goods arrives. They fear that unless
they adopt this plan they will be left
in the lurch and be unable to supply
their patrons of the northwest.
The traffic situation is strong fac
tor in the early order movement also.
Reports of railroads for the past year
show that business was much greater
than In the preceding year and orders
already booked by large manufactur-
ing concerns and wholesale houses in
dictate that traffic will be still heavier
during the next year. Even now it is
difficult to have orders filled promptly
or consignments Of supplies received,
owing to too much business.

TREE. PLANTING AND.
WHAT VARIETY !,
\. TO PLANT b & !.
Pres. j. H. Worst of State A.
G. Gives q Few Excellent
Suggestions.

President J. H. Worst of the agri-
cultural college in writing of the mat
ter of planting plenty of trees in the
state has the following to say:
From experiments made at the
agricultural college it has been de-
monstrated that elm. white and green
ash, soft maple and box elder are
perfectly hardy in North Dakota. The
soft maple, however, should be plant
ed in the midst of other trees. There
are other hardy varieties OF trees,
such as the hakberry, Carolina poplar,
cottonwood, etc., but the two latter,
while they do we'll in single rows.
should never be planted in large
groves. They require too much sun
light to thrive where planted thickly
and consequently die young.
Suitable trees for planting forests
can be obtained from reliable nursery
men for from So to 81 per thousand.
When planting young trees their roots
should never be allowed to become
dry for single moment.
'The tree grove should be located
so that it will prove valuable shell
ter for buildings as we'll as thing
of beauty and profit. A row of gol-
den Russian willows planted thickly
for a hedge. about six rods beyond
the tree plantation will protect the
young trees from snow drifts, while
the intervening space will make an
excellent vegetable garden and fruit
orchard.
"For the labor and expense in
volved, no better investment can be
made than that of setting out tree
plantations for shelter belts. for flu
ture fuel supply, and for identifying
the landscape and improving the eli
matte conditions of the state. No
farm should have less than five acres
of growing trees and the larger farms
should have ten OR even twenty acres.
A general revival of tree planting
should be inaugurated Immediately
over the entire state. From present
indications the soil will be in excel
lent condition this spring for plant
ing trees"

MANY STUDENTS COMING
Dallas College VIII Open Its Doors
September rs With Large
Attendance.

Dallas College will enter the sew
enth year of its existence with the
opening Of the coming school term on
Wednesday, September 25. Consider
ing the shortness of its career as a
college, the rapidity of its growth and
the great prestige already attained
among the schools of Oregon are
truly remarkable.
Beginning in the union of LaCreole
Academy and Lafayette Seminary,
and at first an institution scarcely
known outside Of Polk county, in six
years it has grown to a station where
its name is known among nearly all
the colleges OF the three Pacific states,
and has acquired a most enviable
reputation in all branches of col
legiate and intercollegiate activity.
Each year sees the school in firmer
position, financially, than the previous
year. At present all deficits have
been paid up, and the books stand
clear, with the endowment fund still
intact. Last year $4,000 was pledged
to the college by it's supporters in
various places. Andrew Carnegie
had promised to donate $1,000 to the
school provided they raised $4,000,
hence the endowment fund has
practically been increased by the
amount of $25,OOO.
Four years of UNMARRIED success in
basketball, crowned last season by the
winning of the championship of
Oregon, have fully established it's rep
utation for athletic prowess.
The success of the school along
all lines has been marked, and
its graduates have been almost
invariably successful in the work
which they undertook after finishing
their college course. The percentage
of Dallas College graduates who have
undertaken teaching and have sue
ceeded in that work, is almost as great
as among the graduates from the
State Normal schools.
Yet great as has been its progress in
the past DR.. Mock, the president ofthe
institution, declares that he believes
the school year never before opened
with as bright prospects as at the
present time. He anticipates larger
attendance than ever before, and looks
forward to the establishment of yet
closer bond of sympathy between the
citizens of Dallas and the college.
In regard to his policy in conducting
the school this year he said: "I stated
my policy last year at the beginning
of school, and since then my opinions
have undergone no change" He
believes that since the college must to
a large extent rely on the town for
support he should take no steps which
would lead to enmity or i'll feeling on
the part Of either "WhiIe I cannot
control the actions of the individual,
and though / will consider it my
right to adhere to my personal
opinions, the policy OF the school will
be to confine itself to those things
alone which lie properly within its
sphere"
DR.. Mock believes that this will be
the most successful year the college
has ever enjoyed and says that his
aim will be to make it an institution
Of which the citizens Of Dallas may
all be justly proud, and he adds
with their assistance I know that I
can do this"

FREE DRINKING FOUNTAIN
Enterprising Business Men Are Pre-.
pairing to Supply This Needed
Convenience.

Through the enterprise OF
Ralph Adams, Harry Hibbard and
Frank Pepper, Dallas will soon have
her long-needed public drinking
fountain. These gentlemen are pre-
pairing to install a fountain suitable
for man and beast at the corner Of
Main and Washington streets.
Messrs. Adams & Hibbard will buy
and set up the fountain and Mr.. Pep
per will furnish free fee for the same.
A public fountain has been needed
in Dallas for many years, and the
voluntary action of these progressive
business men in supplying the need
at their own expense will be appre.
ciated by every citizen of the town aud
farmer of the surrounding country.
