Last 3 Days of the ebay Bostain Sale
Friday, Saturday and Monday

TN SPITE of the fact that the sale started
= in down pour Of rain, thrifty buyers
came It was Bostain Bargains versus Rain,
and the Bostain Bargains won out
We had planned it so that, in spite of
wind or weather" there could be no tagging
The first half of the sale has gone even ahead
of what we had expected. It shows that in
spite of the cry Of dull business sent up by
some stores, real bargains have not lost inter
est with careful buyers
The entire sale was based upon season
able, staple merchandise, and plenty of it
And as we stated in the first announce
ment there would be new specials thrown out
each morning during the sale, you'll find the
last three days, Friday, Saturday and Monday
I'VE close Thursday, as interesting as the first
days. By all means come.

ACCORDING to w. G. McFadden, of
the North Dakota bankers association,
Minneapolis millers have been mixing
durum wheat with other varieties in
producing the best grades of flour,
while at the same time they have been
insisting that durum was not a good
milling wheat and by persistent dis
crediting have forced the price of durum
wheat "a and % cents below that of
hard wheat. With the immense crop of
durum wheat now being raised annual
ly in the northwest this means a loss to
the farmers Of from S8,00O,O0O to &c.
100000 if the report is founded on fact.
1t is a matter which should be investi-
gated and the truth spread broadcast.
The new testing plant which is. being in
augurated at the agricultural college
will show the milling values of the
various kinds of wheat and should
settle this question of the true milling
value of durum wheat beyond the ques-
ton of a doubt.

WHILE it is pretty we'll settled now
that Governor Burke did not vote to
leave the railroad assessment at last
years figure and that his position was
entirely consistent with his campaign
speeches, some of the gang papers are
still hurting criticisms at him. This is
all idle talk. After the result of the
last election revealed the fact that the
other four members of the state board of
equalization vera gang men no one
reasonably expected Burke, single-hand-
ed, to accomplish anything in raising the
assessment and under the conditions the
matter was considered postponed for two
years. In the collection of campaign
thunder the governors alleged delin-
quency will hardly serve as good material
for the gang.

NORTH DAko1A's FORESTRY PROBLEM.

The people of North Dakota have just
laid the cornerstone of a fne building at
B%ottineau for the State Forestry School
for which they have been working for
ten years. The need of encouraging
forest growth was early recognized, for
North Dakota is the most t%reeless of all
states, Only one per cent of its area is
timberland, and the best timber has
been cut from this. Minnesota, on the
other hand, it's nearest neighbor on the
east, has sixty per cent of it's surface
classed as timberland. North Dakota
has no national forest. A few years ago
the government undertook to establish
one in the Turtle mountains, and made
a thorough investigation of the project,
only to discover that the effort was too
late. The greater portion of the timber
land of the proposed forest had already
passed into private hands. 1t was not
practicable to make a national forest of
the remaining and detached fragments,
and the project was abandoned. The
Canadian government was more prompt
and successful. The Turtle mountains
extend across the international boundary
and the portion on the north side of the
line was made into a dominion forest by
Canada, and its timber is being cared
for and developed, while that south of
the line is practically all gone, except
second growth which is rapidly being
cut out. The Turtle mountains form
the chief wooded region of the state.
Early settlers on the open prairies OBJ
tanned their fuel and lumber here and
it is not an unusual thing to go fifty or
sixty miles for wood. Outside of this
forests. Small patches of forest are
found in many places in the state, fur
nishing evidence that trees will grow if
they get a start. Nature having done
so little for North Dakota in the way of
forests and so much in the way of suit
able soil and climate, it remains for the
peoPle W Jake lue matler III mana anu
plant trees. The problem in North Da-
kota is different from most other places.
Many states are putting forth their best
efforts to say what forests they have,
while North Dakota, having so little to
save. is chiefly concerned in planting,
Best of all it is laying a broad and sure
foundation in its forestry school, where
men will be trained to carry the work
forward in years to come.
