makers at this session.

He calls attention to the condition
of the county iails and penitentiaries
and says there is some urgent neces-
sity for reform and suggests uni
formity of condition and discipline. 1t
is currently stated that our own pri-
sons offer comfortable quarters in
crime for the purpose of gaining "a
comfortable home. This is not as it
should be. That there is a better plan
than that usually carried out seems
quite probable. We suggest that
prisoners be made to work every day;
that they be given a chance to earn
something to send to their families
who, as rule, are needy and that for
a better disciplining of criminals they
should be given continuous employ
ment each working day. Many are
in Jail because they have fallen out
with labor and want a life of ease
prefer it even in Jail to honest labor.
If there is any prison system by which
criminals are made better for having
been in Jail land this should be the
object) let North Dakota have it.
Governor Hughes states in connec-
ton with charities that it is his pur-
pose to examine into the needs of the
charitable institutions at the earliest
possible opportunity. He evidently has
heard something. Let lis watch re-
ports and developments and in the
meantime let us remember that our
own charitable institutions have been
criticised some. There is, perhaps,
no greater opportunity to show our
good-fellowship than through the eff
ficiency of our charitable institutions.
North Dakota has done much for the
sick, the feeble minded and the insane,
she as a young state is deserving OF
much credit in this respect but there
are some who need our attention more
closely than in the past We refer to
the aged without means and the ply
sically disabled.
1t is a pitiful sight to see men who
have lost their vigor and strength in
the support and education of a large
family, left destitute in old age and
required to do the most mental labor
for mere pittance. His days of activ-
ity are past, the active young man is
given the best positions while the old
man is turned aside. There should
be more charity shown towards these
persons for what they have done in
the past. Our state cannot furnish
positions for all of its aged and
physically disabled but these unfor-
tunate people should not have the cold
shoulder of greed turned upon them
Let some legislator of philanthropic
mind suggest remedy.
In reviewing the message of Gov
ernor Hughes We are confronted with
conditions in our own state and we
believe it would be wise provision
to secure the published messages of the
various ingoing state governors for
perusal by our state legislators as a
textbook, suggestive of better govern
ment.

obtained by carefully conducted exper-
iments and under exceptionable con-
ditions, but it has not been demonstrat-
ed and cannot be demonstrated, that
general farming can be successfully
and profitably conducted upon the arid
plains without irrigation
"Now what most violently object
to in such a statement as this, coming
as it does from one of the very fore
most citizens and most distinguished
| attorneys of the commonwealth, is the
dogmatic assertion, cannot be demon
strated. He certainly shot plenty
wide of the mark when he said has
not been demonstrated, but when he
says cannot be demonstrated, he
speaks that which no thinking man has
any right to speak, for no man here
dare say what human ingenuity and
perseverance will accomplish with the
passing of the years.
1.-The plain truth is that many per-
sons like Senator McCreery. ;who are
declaring that dry farming is not a
success, do not know anything about
what has been accomplished during the
past 30 years. They are judging OF
dry farming by number of persons
they know who have made failure OF
it. This is fine way indeed to reach
a conclusion!
II know of men upon these prairies
who have made success of dry farm
ing for nearly a quarter of a century.
These men have gone through some OF
the dryest years on record and they
have succeeded in developing orchards
and alfalfa fields as fine as can be
found in America.
The charges made by some of the
enemies of dry farming that it is SIM
ply a scheme to fool the public into
-rying the same, SO that real estatc
men and land owners might profit
thereby, was disposed by the very
earnest warning by Prof. Campbell and
others against rushing people into the
semi-arid region who are totally ig-
norant of the dry farming methods.
The people must learn and then if the
pply their knowledge they will ST
,eed.
The next congress will be held in Sal
Lake City, Utah.

DRY FARMING
c CONGRESS

The Board of County Commissioners
of Baca county. having appointed me
delegate to the Trans Missouri Dry
Farming Congress held in Denver,
Colo, on the Path and 25th of January,
i attended said Congress and absorbed
as much of the same as possible.
For the information of those who do
not know, will say that, owing to the
very apparent need of some concerted
action of the people of the several
states and territories embraced in what
is known as the semi-arid portion of the
United States, looking to the proper
and legitimate populating and farming
of said arid region and thereby reclaim-
ing the same, convention or congress
was called by Ex-Gov. Jesse F. Nc
Donald, to be held in Denver, January
"a and 25 to be designated the Trans
Missouri Dry Farming Congress.
The congress was well attended and
a great deal of enthusiasm was mani
tested, sixteen states and territories
being represented, among which were
Colorado; Arizona, New Mexico, Okla
homa, Kansas, Nebraska, Utah, Cali
fornia, Wyoming and Washington.
The congress was called to order at
$50 a. m. Jan. "a, in the Albany Hotel,
by Ex-Gov. Jesse F. Mcdonald, chair
man. Gov. Henry A. Buchtel delivered
an address of welcome in behalf of the
State of Colorado, followed by an ad-
dress of welcome by A. J. Spengle.

Commerce in behalf of the City of Den
yer. 1t is seldom, indeed, that a gath
ering of so many noted and intellectual
ly gifted men can be found as was the
case in this congress. Besides those
already mentioned l give, below,

foregoing are practical, successful
farmers.
1t has been proven that the campbell

for many years in succession Always
with success. But it must not be

l heard one speaker say, "You neeo
not think you can halfway do your
work of dry farming and then turn on
the water and cover up your tracks, as
the irrigation farmer can.

 Box S5 was pulled later in the ever. ing. A skyrooket had gone through a second story window of the Demarest carriage factory on Chapel street. A small blaze resulted, but was extin- guished by the companies before any damage was done.
 The companies had hardly returned from box S5 when box 13 rang in. If was pulled apparently for a fire on which Company 1 had been called by a. still alarm.
