The Holding Movement.

The following address to the farm
ers of Mississippi has been issued by
President sHightower, of the. Farm
.ers' Union:
.sThe great cotton conferences have
been called to meet In Memphis and
New Orleans November 11th to 18th
This question is asked on every hand,
What is going to be done at these
meetings? OF course no one can
answer in advance of the meetings.
but it is quite evident that the whole
South is aroused and that representa-
tive men from every county in the
cotton belt will be on hand with sug-
gestions and plans. Without puDi1c
sentiment having crystalized around
some general plan of action IN ad-
vance of these meetings, they VIII
likely adjourn without doing more
than to pass resolutions which will
arouse enthusiasm and thus inspire
some confidence in future prices. The
restoring of confidence and ths return
of the public mind to sane view or
the real conditions will in measure
restore prices, but will not be per-
manent. Something more substan-
tial must be done If the South is to
prevent a speedy return of the condi-
tions we are now experiencing
eI suggest for the consideration OF
those who attend these conferences
the retiring of one million bales OF
cotton from the market for an M
definite period. Let it be done by
appointing a committee in whose
hands this cotton shall be placel and
who shall have absolute power 20

Has Contract

City Engineer w. R. Veigel has the
contract for surveying two townships of
land as miles northwest of Dickinson.
The contract was awarded to another
party several years ago and after making
two attempts,at doing the work and
failing to get the same accepted by the
government, the contract was abandoned
and is now re-let. Mr.. Veigel does not
intend to go out for this field work until
some time later in the season. When
completed this will finish the survey of
all lands in this state outside of the reser-
vations.
Last year Mr.. Veigel did some govern.
ment surveying on the Berthold reserva-
ton, and it is likely but question of a
short time until 80 townships of fine
agricultural lands in this reservation east
of the Missouri river will be surveyed
and opened for settlement.
The Berthold Indians do not seem tc
care for the best agricultural lands oi
their reservation, preferring to hunt and
trap in the broken and timbered country
along the streams in the western portion
A few of the Indians farm in a small
way but so far they have not made much
of success in raising crops.

Cattle Contract

The contract for furnishing cows and
calves and heifers to the government at
the Standing Rock Indian reservation
was lost by Dickinson and Mandan par
ties by the close margin of Csc per head.
A. HI. Arnett, w. L. Richards and Geo.
Frye of this city and w. S. Parkin and
w. c. Badger Of Mandan made a Joint
bid, and the last named gentleman was
in Washington at the time the award
was made.
Alex D. Marriott of So. Omaha has the
contract for furnishing 1900 2-year old
heifers at s2I.4o per head, while S
T. Napper of Norfolk, Neb., has the
award for furnishing 1,452 cows with
calves at their sides at s34.96 per head
The chances are that the heifers will be
shipped from Texas and it may be tina,
the COWS and calves will also come from
the south. 1t is certain that native stock
from Western North Dakota could no,
be supplied at the prices quoted 70,
these reservation contracts.
Last year w. S. Parkin and w. c
Badger of Mandan, l. P. Baker of Bis
marck, and T. c. Powers of Helena were
the successful bidders for supplying the
Standing Rock Indians with about o,ooe
head of cattle, the bulk being 2-year ole
heifers, and at prices triae higher thar

Another move has been made to regu-'
late the city COW herd and make it easier
tor property owners to secure damages
done to trees and lawns from the owners
OF COWS that are carelesslv allowed to
roam about the streets. Some people
pay but little attention to their cows and
turn them loose as soon as the milking is
done not thinking of the damage such
animals may do before rounded up by
the herder.
This week Chief of Police Corbett
made arrangements with Carroll Bros,
whereby person, bothered by cows, or
other stock, may telephone to the Car
roll livery stable and have men sent at
once to take any such animals to the
pound, where they will be held until the
damage done has been settled for. Con-
siderable damage, especially to trees,
has been done this spring and, until this
arrangement was made, it was practically
impossible for property owner to Sc
cure redress. He would have to round
up animals and put them in the pound
at his own expense and then hunt for his
witnesses. Now the city does the work
and the complainant is the only witness
necessary.
Along this same line there have been
several complaints that drivers of deliv.
cry teams leave their horses withou,
weights while taking orders and the
horses in the meantime wander about
until they make connection with a nice
little shade tree and in less than a min.
ute there is nothing but little stump
left and the owner is provoked to the use
of bad language and threatens to order
his groceries from another store. The
ordinance covering this matter is just a.
strong as need be and any person ha.
just the same right to see that it is en-
forced as the chief of police. Driver!
who violate this ordinance are liable to ;
fine of not less than s. or more than So
for each offense.
