was first found in Idaho and was
named the Alaska because of its hard
ness and thrift. Later stories were
more explicit and grew more roman
tic. A disappointed seeker after gold
in Alaska found the wheat growing
wild there, gathered seed and plant
ed them in Idaho. But before the
stories grew there was growth enough
in the wheat. The st. Paul estimate
was 277 bushels to the acre. AS to
the quality, there was this testimony:
MAY the Idaho College of Agri-
culture made laboratory test of the
wheat and reported the grains plump
and sound, and that it should make
better bread than "blue stem" The
wheat also showed much higher pro-
tein content, making it more valuable
for food
That was calculated to increase the
fame of the wheat, but it is hardly
sustained by what Mr.. J. S. Jones,
the chemist of the Idaho State Agri-
cultural Experimental station, says.
He is quoted as follows: eve did
make chemical analysis of the wheat
last year, and so far as can be judged
from the strictly chemical standpoint
it compares very favorabIy with the
blue stem raised in the Palouse coun-
try" He added that he could say
nothing of the yield from a personal
knowledge, but from conversation
he had had with Mr.. Adams he said
that the latter was willing to vouch
for the large yields he had claimed for
it. y ~.s.s
At the prices reported, Mr.. Adams
did not need a great yield to repay
him for his experiments. We read
that he sold one pound to the state
of Oregon for IS. Also that he had
ian offer from New York seed firm
to handle the seed, paying him 60 per
cent of the proceeds. He insisted on
asking what it was selling for, and
was informer $25 a bushel. He de-
clined, saying it was too much money,
and that he was farmer himself
and not in the robbery business"
That was showing a commemorate
spirit, but if the Department of Agri-
culture at Washington is to be trust
ed there is a mistake somewhere that
will be regretted far and wide. The
world wants wheat yielding 277 BUSH
els to the acre. 1t would welcome
it even at a first cost Of SIS pound.

CONGRESSMAN GRoNNA'S POSI-
e. TON.

With regard to the sensational state
ments recently published that Cor
gresham Gronna had declared wal
that he would openly oppose the car
delaney of Mr.. Johnson for the ser
ate, that he would be candidat
for the senate to succeed McCumbe1
and that other things political woul'
be done by the Nelson county eon
gresham, Mr.. Gronna has made tn
following statement in the Gran,
Forks Times: '''
'That is the first I have heard
of my candidacy for the United
States senate, for I have had no
aspirations along that line. Just
where the writer of the story got
the idea that I was out to de-
feat McCumber for the United
States senate, or to work against
Johnson this year, is something
that I do not know, for I have
said nothing in regard to either
proposition. ...
81 am leaving the senatorship
entirely alone. 1t Us my duty as
a nominee of the party to stand
by the entire ticket nominated,
but as in the case of the United
States senatorship, neither can
/ didate now in the field having
received the nomination, I be-
lieve it only right for me to stay
entirely out of the fight. The
statement that I declared that
I would oppose M. N. Johnson
is without foundation. I am a
candidate for congress, and that
is all. ......
I'm regard to my position on
the various questions contained in
the state Republican platform,
such as the guarantee of bank
deposits, physical value of rail-
roads, the labor question and the
election Of United States senators
by popular vote, it is the same
position that / have held during
IL the past four years, as my own
platform, on which I was nomi-
mated will reveal. I believe in
these questions as presented in
the platform and believe further
that am acting in sympathy with
the majority of the Republicans
of the state"

WHAT THEY SAY

Sheriff McGillis: The account of
the holding up Of the sheriff in the
Tribune was not quite correct. Both
soldiers were somewhat intoxicated
and one took the path when he saw
me coming, but the other stayed in
the road and as I drove by freight
ened the horses. AS soon as quiet
ed them went back and remonstrat-
ed with him. He was intoxicated, and
did some loud talking, but there was
no attempt to hold me up. The boys
were simply guilty of disorderly con-
duct and have apoligized both to me
and my family for the annoyance
caused. Their condition was respon-
sible for their conduct. &s@
