THE IMMIGRANT QUESTION.

In December some negroes working
on farm asked if the white people
from "furrin countricS' were going
to come over here and run all the ne
grocs from their farms. They had
read about the Wittekind and heard
white men would come over here and
do three times as much work rs any
negro and make twice as much corn
and cotton as now made. They were
informed that they need have no
fears but 90 ahead with their work.
They would never see any foreign la
Dor on the farms. Mr.. Gadsden of
this state visited Europe and cxamin-
ed conditions and gives it as his opin-
ion that farm laborcrS will not come
south unless the same wages are paid
to them that they get in the North
and northwest. We would like to
see farmers even in the cotton and
tohacc" belt Of this state payiu. $50
to $50 Il month and furnishing GOOD
and stylish cottages to men to work
on the farms. In that event the hirel-
ing and landlord would swap places.
This immigration scheme is a costly
Hailure SO far as farm hands are
commemorative Spartan.
We are glad to see some of our ex-
changes and number of our public
men coming to our way of thinking
on this immigration question. For
some time The Herald and News stood
practically alone in the position that
the movement can not be successful
and Of benefit to the south so long
rs our efforts arc directed towards
sccurin" laborcrs for the farms. and
ny laborcrS we mean those who de-
sire t" work for wages or part Of Il
crop.
Our conditions here are peculiar.

and which. in our opinion. are the
most successful laborcrS if properly
handled. for the purpose of growing
cotton.
Mr.. Gadstlcn, who went over to in
veStigate land report, published a
statement some time ago in which he
takes practically the same view.
1t we could secure from Germany
desirable class Of people. who had
some money to invest. and who would
come with that end in view and for
the purpose of bcttcriny their con-
dMionS and could settle themselves

HAIL FLATTENs GRAIN.
Terrific Storm Ruins Crops in Vicinity
of Edmore.


One OF the most destructive hal.
storms of recent years swept over the
county from Edmore on the Lakota
branch Of the Great Northern to a
point several miles below Niagara.
Thousands of acres of wheat aud other
grain were pounded into the ground
and the loss is enormous.
The storm travelled southeast and
the strip ruined Is from eight to ff-
teon miles In width Niagara reports
that the hail at that point was very
severe. 1t lasted for an hour. After
the storm the hail could be scooped up
By the bushel.
The destruction of the grain in that
locality was complete wherever the
storm struck. Reports were received
at Niagara indicating that the storm
went at least sixteen miles to the
south.
Petersburg reported a severe storm
with the loss total wherever the storm
struck. The storm was freakish, miss
Ing some farms and destroying all the
grain in the vicinity belonging to
others.
1t is estimated that the damage
from the hail storms which travelled
over portions of Ramsey, Walsh, Nell
son and Grand Forks counties for a
distance Of sixty miles will amount to
nearly $1,000, 900. The storm was &C.
companied by a high wind and de-
stroyed everything growing wherever
It struck.

Fight a Duel at Minot.

A careful investigation as to crop
conditions has been made by a news
Paper correspondent of the yield
Throughout the northern part of North
Dakota. At every station between
Grand Forks and Minot interviews
were had with farmers, merchants,
business men and others interested d.

quiries were made as to conditions
along the branch lines of the Great
Northern running north Of the main
Hne and as to conditions in the west
ern part of the state beyond Minot.
AS q result Of the interviews, the
c%oncensus Of opinion indicates that
The average yield Of wheat per acre
will be about ten bushels per acre,
but may possibly exceed that figure
eksat3y. The wheat acreage this
year Is less than in 1906, but more

ct least three weeks backward. but
has been catching up rapidly and at
llast n week of the time has been
recovered. With a continuation of
tie past fine weather harvest will not
DO more than q week or ten days late.
As a result Of the concensus Of
ealhien obtained from upwards Of 200
r4fsons. there is nothing whatever

there are fields that are expected to

BULLETS HIT FOUR.
Fight Between Negroes on Streets Of
Mlnot.

One woman and two white men in
jured, a negro shot in the thigh and a
fire alarm to sound the warning is in
brief the story of a wild gun play be-
tween William Wilson and Henry
Williams. both colored, in a vacant lot
OF Reishus street In Minot.
One Of the bullets entered the house
Of j. H. Waggener and inflicted a
flesh wound in the arm of his wife,
who was just wheeling her two babies
into the parlor. Another bullet went
through the leg of Mr. McGregor, who
was standing at the door of his barn.
Another one grazed o. j. Houde, who
was standing near the barn. Henry
Williams, commonly known as "Rab-
BIT" a porter at a barber shop, was
wounded Slightly in the thigh.
Both of the men are under arrest.
The quarrel started over Wilson's
housekeeper, about whom Wilson de-
clared rabbit" made slurring re-
marks.

FAMOUS CASE SETTLED.
Judge Goss Renders Decision in Favor
Of Mrs. Hedderick.

Judge Goss in the district court at
Williston decided the famous He'd.
derich will case in favor of the widow,
Mrs. Grace d. Hedderich of Williston.
The amount involved was from $780,
600 to $4,000 and there were many
unusual features in the case which
caused it to attract much attention
throughout the Northwest.
When he died in May, 1906, He'd
derich left a will bequeathing his en-
tire estate to his widow, but when the
instrument was offered for probate a
%half-breed from the Fort Peck Indian
reservation in Montana interviewed in
the proceedings, claiming to be a son
OF Hedderich by a previous marriage
to his mother, a full-blooded squaw.
The marriage is alleged to have taken
place at Woody Mountain, Can, in
1879, according to the Indian rites and
customs. This was seven years be-
fore the marriage to the present Mrs.
Hedderich. Judge Butler of the pro-
bate court denied the right to inter-
vene on the ground that the relation
ship was not proved, and from this an
appeal was taken and a jury trial de-
manded.
The case was tried before Judge
Goss and a large number of Indians
and half-breeds attended the trial,
which occupied two weeks. Among
the Indian witnesses were Old Thur
dering Bear, who vas a participant in
the Custer massacre of 1876; Kio
Moran, who was official Interpreter
for the Canadian government upon the
trial of Louis Ria in the Canadian re-
tellfon of 1885; Joseph Legare, the
French Canadian who brought Sitting
Bull over the line and surrendered
him to an army aficer in 1881, and
many other characters prominent in
the early history of North Dakota,
Montana and Western Canada.
The evidence showed that He'd
derich was teaching school in Indiana
at the time tho marriage was alleged
to have taken place and that he did
not go to the Northwest until the con
tending half-breed vas about a year
old. Judge Goss now decides the case
on all points. holding that there never
was any marriage and that the half
breed is not the son of Hedderich nor
entitled to any share in his estate.

FARGO FAIR SUCCESSFUL.
Attendance Was Heavy and Races
Were Good.

The Fargo fair management is great
ly elated over the success of the Inter
state fair, the attendance having been
heavy.
The half-mile track is conceded to
be the fastest In the Northwest, and
this fact seems to have been amply
demonstrated when Barney Oldfeld
broke all worlds records for a mile
and three miles on a half-mile track.
Oldield went the first mile of a
three-mile race in 1.15k, and the
three miles in 1851. His mile record
beat that made and held by himself
at Winnipeg by four and a half Sec
onds and his three-mile record beat
that of his Winnipeg record by eigh-
teen seconds.
Wednesdays races broke two rec
ords. Bill Bailey established a new
state record at Grand Forks last week
of 2:10A, and at Fargo he made two
heats in faster time. The first was
2:09A and the second heat was 2:1O
fat.

Deadly Common PIant.

The things that give the most pleas
ure in life frequently can also cause
the greatest pain. Among flowers, for
instance, the beautiful snowdrop. the
hyacinth, jonquil and narcissus are all
poisonous, and to eat the smallest part
of the root Of either Of them would
produce fatal results, while the Juices
OF the leaves will cause violent vomit-
Ing. The berries of the yew tree have
Killed many people, and the opium OBJ
tanned from poppies has also claimed
Its victims. Lady's slipper and lily of

Dubious roots, however, seem to be
the most dangerous, and it might not

label them with a c%rossbones and mark
them poison.

TRAINING the Clock

Some people expect too much of a
clock. In addition to waking them in
the morning, they would like to have
1t build a fire, put on the coffee, bring
in the morning paper and sass the
milkman.
Few common, ordinary ninety-nine
cent clocks are able to do this, but
there is a record of one belonging to
a policeman in one of our northern
cities that came about as near to it
as could be expected.
This clock the policeman had pasted
in his hat, and every half hour it gave
a merry little tinkle so as to wake
him up in time to let him ring up the
station. He was expecting to have it
SO perfected that next year it would
run down thieves while he slumbered,
but a superior officer came along and
separated him from the force before
he could get this improvement perfect
ed. Some officials are mighty ofacious
and wholly unable to understand the
upward strivings of those under them.

To See the Back Of Your Eve.

~ See inc BACK OF Your Eye.
Behind the eye, what is called the
retina, Is lined with branching blood
vessels, and a curious but perfectly
simple experiment will enable you to
see these. Place yourself in a dark
room, opposite a dark colored wall:
then light a candle and, holding it in
your hand, move it up and down be-
fore your eyes, all the time looking not
at the candle, but at the wall beyond.
After a little practice you will see ap-
pear on the wall a great branching fig
ure in black on a reddish surface.
What you are looking at is the shadow
OF these blood vessels at the back Of
your w eye. Perhaps the most curl
u part of the whole thing is that the
part of the eye which receives the i'm
preston of light must lie behind these
blood vessels.-London Academy.
