He saved up some money and stood
very we'll,
HE luck would have lasted for oil
We can tell
II he had never heard OF Chicago.
One day big catalogue came thro Ugh

That cold of wonderful heater:
The flgures were tempting. Tom swsl-
lowed the tale.
Says be, "Mr Merchants . cheater.
His profit must be near q hundred
per cent.
I'll just call his bluff and unless he'll
relent
I'll order stove from Chicago"
So he drove to the village and enter
ed the store
With an air that was lofty and
knowing.
Says he. "Mr. Merchant. please tell
me once more
The price of that stove you were
showing.'
''Thirty five, cash or credit. the best
one in town.
Tom turned on bis heel and went out
with frown.
And sent off check to Chicago.
He Dragged to his neiRhbors and they
in trice
Sent away for whatever they needed /;
They often we're stuck, but they got q
low price,
Which. of course WAS the one thing
they needed.
The merchant soon failed and sold
out his store
And this was the. notice he left on his
''Gone to look for q job in Obi

Toms mail order stove did'nt work
very long.
But no one in town could repair it ;
At last he was forced to admit be was
wrong.
His neighbors weren't slow to de-

With no stores there was no one to
buy or to sell,
The drummers stopped coming, they

At last Tom decided to sell his old

But no one, he found with the great

Would buy one so far from Chi

When blank desolation stared Tom
in the face
His courage grew weaker and weak

So he put on his overcoat, packed up

He found it deserted and dusty,
Inhabited only by spiders and flies.

Though tests Of $50 carefully select
ed samples were made by Mr.. Clapp
in the laboratory Of the school of

made to determine the color,

different temperatures, together with
their fusibility. These physical tests
were supplemented by the chemical

being done by Miss Marcia Bisbee
under the supervision Of Professor
Babcock. The thorough familiarity
of Professor E. J. Babcock of the
state university with the clays of
the region. gained through many
years of experimental work on them,

All of the above work has been
accomplished on an exceedingly
small amount Of money, $1,000 a.
year. # the survey is to be Of the
greatest use to the state in the fu-.
ture, it's work must be done most
thoroughly and carefully, and the
scope of the survey must be extend
ed in a number of directions to
meet the constantly increasing de-
mands and the rise of new condi-
tons, which are developing in the
state. The present appropriation of
the North Dakota geological survey
is rediculously small. It would be
futile to compare it with the appro-
priations of other states, many SUR
veys of which receive $4,000 per
year, the Maryland survey receiving
SOB 600 ner wear for gn010pica1 work

next legislature will give consider
able attention to the matter, and will
make a liberal appropriation for the

ed. Professor e. j. Babcock was the
first state geologist and was instru-
mental in bringing about the organ
ization Of the survey. He was ap-
pointed in 1895, but it was not until
1899 that an appropriation was made
to enable him to publish the First
Biennial report. The volume was q
preliminary report on the topograp-
by, geology, clay and coal Of the
state, and contained much informa-
ton of value to all interested in
those subjects. The report is now
/ out of print. 81
The second Biennial report, which
was issued in 1903, was prepared
under the direction of F. "A. Wilder,
who had been appointed state geo.
logist early in the summer of the pre-
vious year. The report is devoted
almost entirely to a discussion of
the Ignite deposits of North Dakota,
including their extent and import
ance, their fuel value and the meth
DDS of mining. In addition it con-
tains a preliminary report on the
geology of Ward county and a pap
er on the water resources Of the Dew

BILLY GOAT PLANTS
FOR BILLY TAFT

"a pair of pants made from billy
goat That is the offering Texas
sends to Secretary William Taft, son
of destiny, and the next presi-
dent of the United States. These
trousers were made from cloth manu-
featured out Of mohair of goat wool,
a six months growth Weighing ten
pounds, clipped from the finest An
CORA billy ever bred. Last week these
trousers were presented to Secretary
Taft, by Col. Cecil Lyon, leader of the
Republican party in Texas, as a token
>of esteem in which the Republicans.
nominee for the presidency is held in.
the empire state of Texas.
The story OF the trousers, made,
from billy goat" is an interesting.
story of Texas industry and energy.
The mohair was cut from Admiral
Togo, a Texas three-year-old, bred
by Frank o. Landrum of Montell, in
Uvalde county, not far from San An
tonic. Frank Landrum is one of the
famous Angora breeders of the world.
Admiral Togo" was sired by Dick,
who was imported from South Africa,
and won the first prize at the St. Louis
exposition. His mother was Lady
Holmes, who won the Kansas sweep
stakes in 1908 This March aAd-
miral Togo" yielded ten pounds OF
the finest, silkiest mohair at six
months clip. This is said to be the
largest crop OF miohair of six months
growth ever cut.
This mohair was sent to John B.
Ellison & Sons of Philadelphia and
was manufactured by them into the
finest of cloth. This cloth was sent
to Owen owen of 42S w. 18th street.
Washington City, Secretary Tafts tai
Tor, and was by him made into trous.
ers for that large and distinguished
gentleman. These trousers, as be
fore stated, have been presented to
the secretary, and it is the earnest
wish of his loyal Texas supporters
that he will wear them when inaugur-
ated president on the 18th of March
next.
This gift was chosen by the Texans
as especially typical of their state, be-
ing both large, useful and beautiful.
Southwest Texas, of which San An
tonic is the center, is the greatest
Angora goat country in the world,
more than two-thirds of the goats
ton. Angora breeding is essentially
the poor mans business. requiring a
small outlay of capital. but many
poor men who started at it not so
many years ago are now well OF.
Most of the goat raisers in the hills
of Texas are protectionists and many
of them are Republicans. The An
CORA industry is yet comparatively in
its infancy and is practically unpro-
Stected. According to government sta
tistics the Importation of Angora goat
skins has risen from 53.96S.00 pounds
in 1895 to III. 079,0 900 in 1906, an in
crease in import value from $10,954,
600 to $31, 773,000. In short, the value
of goat skins imported is about equal
to the value of those raised in the ma
ton. The Angora goat breeders are
anxious to have their industry pro
tected.

The volume may be had on applicat-
ions enclosing postage, which is four
teen cents. The report is note
worthy one, is distant addition to
the photography and technology of
clay and clay products, and will be
of great help in the development of
the clay industry of the state.
During the summer OF 1905 and
1906, field parties under Professor
A. G. Leonard were employed by the
United States geological survey in
work up the ignite area of western
North Dakota. eastern Montana, and
northwestern Wyoming. The work
has resulted in the collection Of an
immense amount of data in regard
to the Ignite and especially in re-
gard to its occurance in North Da-
kota. Work was continued on the
problem during the summer of 1907.
A preliminary report Of the results
OF the work already appeared in
Bulletin 316, of the United States
geological survey, and complete re-
port will be soon published in a
bulletin OF the same organization.
North Dakota Ignite passed the best
tests at st. Louis at the fuel testing
plant Of the United States geologi-
cal survey, for use in gas producers.
The above clearly shows that the
national authorities appreciate the
work of the North Dakota geologi-
cal survey.
During the summer of 1906 and
1907 a careful study was made of
the Pembina mountain region. This
area is of great interest both on ac-
count of its valuable clays and ce-
ments and because there are exposed
along the deep valleys Of the Penn
bina, Little Pembina, Tongue and
other rivers, geological formations
which appear at the surface mo-
where else in the state. The char
acter, relationships, thickness and
distribution of these were determine
ed and much information gathered
concerning them. North Dakota has
valuable deposits suitable for the
manufacture of cement and these are
being given careful attention. The
detailed mapping and examination OF
- r.
certain selected areas, such as var
ions counties. is to be undertaken
at once. The surface features, geo
logical formations and natural re-
sources will be carefully investigat-
ed The result of all of this work
will be published as soon ais time
and means Will permit, and will be
OF the greatest service to the state.
That the farmers of North Dako-
Ia are progressive and realize the
incalculable value of good roads, is
evidenced by the first meeting in
favor of the good roads movement,
which was held at Larimore recently.

the geological survey while DR..
Wilder was in charge. Work on this
problem was begun in the summer
Of 1902 and continued during the
next season by two parties that fol-
lowed the Missouri and its tributar-
les. In the summer Of 1904 the en-
/ gineers Of the reclamation division
of the United States geological sur
vey investigated further the fats
along the Missouri, and recommend
ed the establishment of pumping
plants near Buford and Williston.
