CAMP FOR POLITICAL PEOPLE
PROPOSED RETREAT FOR RE-

Pet Project Of Recently Formed

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, July pa camp composed
of poetical people. pitched in the solitudes
of the Sahara desert, is the pet project OF
the recently formed Poetry Recital So
ciety, whose professed objects are moth
ing less than poetic renaissance the
reading of Browning before breakfast and
Shakespeare after dinner.
The desert camp is to help toward the
better appreciation of the poetic art. In
the hustle and roar of everyday life it Is
hard to concentrate attention on even the
simplest sonnet; hence the projected jour
ney in search of the peace of the desert
So far as present arrangements go. a
dozen or so of poetic people will with
draw themselves from the haunts of men
at the approach of autumn, and, bur-
dened with books of verse. strike out for
sandy solitudes lying somewhere at the
back of Mogador.
Rift Within the Lutte.
But already there has appeared a little
rift within the lutte. The opinion of Rob-
ert Hichens-who is an authority on des-
erts-was asked to the suitability OF
that particular spot for the leading OF
the peaceful and poetic life. His answer
was little discouraging, and pointed out
the possibility of visits from incensed ma
tives with more love for loot than learn
ing.
Certainly one could hardly expect a
warlike child of the desert to appreciate
the beauties of Browning. and interesting
though the experiment might be. the read
ing of '.Sordello" or even Maud TO an
Infatuated Bashi-Bazouk hardly seems to
come within the professedly peaceful OBJ
jects of the expedition.
The question of the commissariat has
caused some trouble. The body of even
the most lofty and poetical spirit must
needs be nourished, and diet of dates is
but poor thing on which to feed the
muse. So the army and navy stores will
have instructions to forward weekly
hampers-filled with the nearest substi-
tutes to nectar and ambroSia that the
twentieth century can produce-to the
desert camp OF the Poetry Recital So
ciety, somewhere at the back of Mogador

drew a knife and killed one sailor and
wounded two others who tried to stop
him from crossing the sangway. Asan

to reach the side of the steamer after it
left Ziurgievo and threw himself into

FARGO firm GETS
BRIDGE CONTRACTS
ABOUT A DOZEN BIDS IN FOR
WORK THAT WILL BE DONE
THIS FALL,
Fate Of the Faikner Bridge is Now
In the Hands Of State Engineer At
kinson.

The bids for the construction of
a steel bridge and the repairs of
number of others were opened by the
board of county commissioners at a
meeting held at the court house Tues
day afternoon.
The Fargo Bridge and Iron Co.,
was the lowest bidder out of dozen
and as their bid complied with the
requirements set forth in the adver-
tisements the contract was awarded
to them.
There are two new bridges to be
built and repairs to be made on a
number of others. The board of coun-
ty commissioners made a flying trip
to the Faulkner bridge near the fort
and it will probably be put up to State
Engineer Atkinson to decide whether
the bridge is safe for public ause or
not If he decides that it is aanger-
Gus in it's present condition the board
will take whatever action he suggests
as to the methods needed to make the
structure safe for the use of the pub
lie. The amount of the bid Of the
Fargo Bridge and Iron Co. was $4,-

divisions, the divisions being divided
In tracts Of 100 acres each. f.
Extent Of the Tract.
To gain an idea as to the extent of
the tract to be opened it is we'll to
note that the land extends in a
straight line from the Cannon. Ball
river in Morton county, N. p, to- the
Cheyenne river in Armstrong county,
S. D. That between these counties
are Schnasse, Foreman and Dewey
counties, South Dakota; from north
to south this tract is eighty seven
miles in length, in width at the mar
rowest point it is .forty-two miles,
with an eighteen mile strip in the
center which is about eighty-four
miles wide.
The Cheyenne river forms the
southern boundary of this land, the
Cannon Ball river the northern boun-
dairy, the great Missouri rive
the entire eastern boundary,
while between, running from east to
west and dividing the vast tract in
three almost equal parts, are the
Grand and Moreau rivers. OF the
many streams in addition, which are
worthy of note, are Little Moreau

Willow and Green Grass creeks.

Anticipating the opening of this
vast domain Of unoccupied land, the
railroad systems have already planned
a network of lines that will afford
splendid facilities for shipments, far
better than the older sections OF
North Dakota had for many years af-
ter their settlement. Through the

NORTH DAKOTA AS A PLACE

Even the Eggs Are Dry and the But
ter Tasteless - Eternal Labor and
Then Some is the Price of Success

Senator J. r Irwin of Park River,
one of the members of the upper
house of the last legislature, was in
the city yesterday and will go to
Washburn this morning to join his
wife and daughter who are visiting
there
Senator Irwin and family spent sew
eral months this year at Ashland,
Oregon, near the southern boundary
of the state, with view of locating
there but have returned contented to
stay in North Dakota.
Senator Irwin says the Oregon eli
mate does not suit him as we'll as that
of North Dakota. The summer season
is dry and crops are raised entirely
with irrigation The last rainfall
this year where be was, was May %
and he Left late in July The summer
was dry and the same dryness seems
to be impaired to the products of the
farm and garden. Eggs do not conf
pare with the North Dakota variety
The yak seems to be dry and taste
less, and the butter is fine in color
and appearance, but seems dry and
hard as tallow. Spring chickens rails,
ed on his place were ready to eat b.
fore he left, but the meat was dry and
taste!ess, and all things considered
the senator was glad to get back to
the state.
The fruit farms require endless Ia
Dor and care, and trees have to lie
sprayed several times season and
watched carefully to prevent attacks
by wilt and other diseases. At the
time he left the pear trees were be-
ing attacked with a black wilt, that
necessitated the cutting off of many
limbs and the treatment of the trees
with washes and solutions to prevent
their dying.
Accounts Of the yields of the fruit
farms differ but the stories of fabu-
lous returns are discounted largely
by the senator. He says conditions in
an irrigated country and in a country
like North Dakota where crops grow
with natural rainfall are so different
that 1t takes the farmer from this
section long time to accustom him.
