RANCH AND FARM.

H. NJ. Crull of Devils Lake has this to
say OF our state: North Dakota is on
the eve of great agricultural develop
ment,' said the general. The farmers
seem to be discardine the antiqpated
methods of farming and are carrying on
the work from q scientific standpoint.
North Dakota Is no longer q country for
wheat only. During the past year it has
been demonstrated without a doubt that
corn. clover and timothy can be raised
successfully. Alfalfa is also being
raised with great success and this
solves the hog question for our state
John Jungers, MANAGER of the Farmers
Elevator Co. at Gladstone. had 100 acres
of wheat this year which averaged 26h
bushels to the acre. From IS acres he
raised z, $50 bushels of oats. Conrad
Herald. q neiehbor. raised 2. 100 bushels
of wheat and SIC bushels of oats this
season.

t"' .,
Rhame Review: A deal vas CON-
cluded recently whereby David Fonsen
became the owner of ten sections of land
west of Rhame in the edge Of the Bad
Lands, the consideration being S.. 50 per
acre.
Mr.. Fonsen is one of the old time
ranchers in this region, and last season
was one of a party Of Bowman county
ranchers who went to Wyoming to look
up a new location, and had almost
decided to remove there later, as the
taking up of the range lands by the
farmers in this country has made the
range too crowded here. When the
opportunity came to get hold of this
tract of Bowman county land. Mr..
Fonsen was not long in making up his
mind to remain here. and the deal was
quickly made. The land in question.
lying mostly in the Bad Lands. is hardly
suitable for farming purposes. yet a
better location for stock would be hard
TO find. The. Grass in this locality is
excellent, and the hills are protection
from the storms of winter. The govern
ment land within the tract is not apt5to

COUNTY SCHOOLS
Use the PRESS MAPS

Superintendent J. A. Kitchen of Bill
lines county has supplied all his schools
with the Dickinson PRESS map of the
southwestern counties of North Dakota,
which includes the sectional map of
Billings county; it seems that there is
no sectional map issued of Billings
county for general circulation and the
superintendent is preparing a rough
draft on a good scale. showing the civil
townships. school districts. locations Of
schoohl ouses, wagon roads and general
topography of the county. This will be
prepared and submitted to the county
commissioners for publication in the
school interests.
Billings county has developed very
rapidly as shown by the public schools,
there being just 100 teachers engaged in
teaching at this time; this means that
there will be one hundred and twenty-five
or more schools in session during the
school year. There are also just 100
school officers in the county. Consider
ably more than half of these schools are
situated east of the Little Missouri
river; although Beach. Marmarlh and
Sentinel Butte, in Billings county, lie
west of the river, the mass of popula.
ton is on the east side. If judged by
the last school census. Billings county
now has a population of about g, 500.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES

At a recent meeting of the board Of
trustees of the Agricultural College. a
Department Of Extension was organized.
with Professor G. W. Randlett as its
first director. and Hugh J. Hughes. who
for the past year has been in charge Of
the publicity work Of the school. its first
reporter. -
This brings together cerain lines of
extension work, and gives the men In
charge a better chance to cooperate in
their effort to give the farmers of the
state up to date minute information that
carries money earning value.
Reporter Hughes writes us that one
of the main Inns along which the .cx-
tension work will be pushed is the
organization of cooperative societies
for the introduction of good stock, the
betterments OF the methods of farming,
and for the more profitable marketing
of produce.
He says that they will furnish speakers
for market days. OF other occasions, and
will send we'll qualified men out to help
neighborhoods organize cooperative
societies, according to the needs of the
local communities.
The whole purpose of this work is to
bring the best experience IF the Agricul-
tural school directly back to the farm.
Director Randlett is we'll known through
out the state for the work he has been
doing with the school children in corn
growing contests, and is a man admir-
ably qualified by training and expert
ence to develop college extension work
| along practical lines. Reporter Hughes
is best known. perhaps, to the. people
| of the northwest as associate editor of
Farm. Stock, and Home. He will have
personal charge of the work of farmers
organizations. and will retain control OF
the cooperative work with the state press.
This winter he will send out an es-
pecially interesting series of Short
Talks on Dairying," many of which
will appear in the columnso OF this paper.

RAllRoADINe SOUTHWEST
TO new ENGLAND

Mott Pioneer: For the information of
those living out of the state and who
are interested in Hettinger county, the
Press gives below a brief synopsis of
the progress made in railroad circles this
eason in so far as it relates to the
Mandan-Mott extension and G. M. &
Puget Sound Ry.
The N. P. people. or more properly
speaking the Western Dakota, Ry.,
have practically finished their grade
from Cannon Ball to Mott. only about
ten per cent remaining. There are now
six crews working on the line which
covers 90 miles. The steam shovels
will finish the GRADE from Mandan to the
Cannon Ball this winter, a distance of
"a miles, and commence laying steel in
early spring. This takes the line into
Mott. From the county seat west, the
exact source has not as yet been de-
'termined upoll. According to Chief
Than who was here last week, accom-
panied by his wife, the surveyors are
still busy in the Bad Lands, with their
objective point as Terry. Mont. The
last survey directs the line west from
Mott. crossing the Cannon Ball river at
the coal mine to the south side. thence
west and northward to the main line.
This would bring the lines about seven
miles south of Horswill and about eight
miles south of New England. Assistant
Engineer Eskserand, located at Mott.
states that the exact location of the line
west will be decided this month,
Chief Engineer Darling and other
officials have been over the route from
Mandan south and approved it. The
contracts are limited to May 1, 1910.
THE C. M. &. PUGET SOUND RY.
Assistant Engineer McCallman of the
above line. left this week, accompanied
by his wife, for Kansas City, his home
town, having finished his labors here.
He is succeeded by Resident Engineer
Rollins, located at Mott.
The C. M. & Puget Sound Ry. has
a stretch of 1923 miles extending from
Mccullough to the main line to New
England in this county via Mott.
About so per cent of the grading is done
and practically all of the rev ART
now in winter quarters, which mean.
that the road cannot be finished unit
snr;nd at least. The line which is def,
nitely decided upon, follows the Cannon
Ball river very closely through Hettingel
county to New England.
The only towns that have been def
nitely determined upon either road ar
Flasher. Mott and New England. Other
are but problematical.

STOLE THE CHURCH SOUP.
Arose From Prayer to Find the Feast
Had Disappeared.

During church festival at Car
mel, Ind, the other evening, and
While the devout were upstairs pray
ing and giving in experiences some
''roWdies" broke into the basement
and stole all of the oyster soup and
cake and ice cream. When the faith
full repaired to the feast" there was
no feast in sight. Bloodhounds we're
promptly secured and posses went
out with them to search for the viii
lians. At last accounts they hadn't
been caught, but, in the language
of the Jerk Tank correspondent 'if
they are apprehended there is no
doubt that they will be severely
dealt with" And they ought to be.
1t is hard to imagine meaner thief
than one who will steal oyster SOUP
from a church festival.

BATHS AND THE HEART.
Hot Baths Diminish 1t in Size, While
Cold Ones Enlarge 1t.

Two physicians, DR.. Beck and DR..
Dohan, have made some interesting
observations concerning the change
in the size of the heart in hot and
cold baths. These are reported in
the Munchener Medizinische Woer-
enschrift. The observations were
made on fourteen persons, who were
subjected to baths of different tenn
perature.
1t was found that in six out of
seven cases in which hot baths were
used, varying from 40 to 45 degrees
centigrade, the heart was diminished
in size after the bath. The diminu-
ton was very marked in several
cases.
Out of the five persons subjected
to cold baths it was found that the
hearts of four were increased in size
after the bath. In one case there
was neither increase nor decrease.
The enlargement was reported as re-
markable in three cases.
The effect of baths at body tenn
perature was found to be a slight di-
minsiOn.

For Twelve Years Caucus Has MOI
Been Considered Binding.
From the Savannah News.

! From the Savannah News.
The defense they (the six
! Georgians) make is a very plausi-
BILE one. 1t is that the action of
the democratic caucus hasn't been
regarded as binding for twelve years,
| but simply as advisory, that Mr..
Clark had expressly stated in the eau
Gus that any democrat had a right
on the floor of the house to offer
amendments to the rules, that the
caucus didn't adopt a rule to the eff
! feet that democrats must support
! Mr. Clarks plan for amending the
rules, and that they thought that the
| Fitzgerald plan for reforming the
rules was better than Mr.. Clark's.
In the absence of a statement from
Mr. Clark or any one speaking for
him it seems pertinent to say that
the Offense of the six Georgians
doesn't seem to be so very mon
strOus. 1t is true that in every or
ganizatiOn the members should be
guided by and should follow the
leader of the house. The caucus had
decided upon a plan for effecting a
revision of the Cannon rules, but in
view of the fact that no rule was
that democrats must support their
leader in the contest, and the further
faith that for the past twelve years
democratic caucus action had been
regarded as only advisory and not
binding, it does seem as if the six
Georgians had a pretty good excuse
for the course they pursued
There is a suspicion that those
who are the most active in stirring
up feeling against the six GeOrgians
were among those who were partic-
ularly active in working up the COM
binatiOn between the 'insurgent" re-
publiCans and the democrats, and are
out of sorts because their work came
to nothing. We don't know how
much ground there is for this suspi- |
ciOn, but if there is any it might be
to have that phase Of the |
matter inquired into. The six GeOr- |
gians do not seem to have been con- !
suited at all respecting the fOrma-
ton of the combination of 'insur- |
gent republicans and democrats to !
upset the rules.
We have said many times that !
Speaker Cannon isn't responsible for /
the rules. The republican party is !
for them. If that party
should want them changed MT Can
non couldn't prevent changes. There !
fore we are likely to have what are
known as the Cannon rules as long
as the republican party is in the ma
iority. The best way to bring about
changes in the rules is to bring
about change in the control of the
house.

A Useless Contention.

From the Griffin News and Sun.
An apparently unnecessary amount
of strife is being made over the fact
that number of democratic con-
gressmen saw fit to embrace an OPP
pOTtunity to amend the rules of the
house now instead of waiting upon
the uncertain changes that might be
prOpOSed-nOt made-by a commit
tee with preponderance of republic
cans at the regular session 1t is
claimed that they bOlted a demo-
cratic caucus where the committee
plan was adopted, yet the very fact
that rules were subsequently adopted
to make the caucus binding upon
members shows that it was not bind
ing at that time; and as a matter of
fact it is not denied that liberty was
left to support any amendment to the
plans of Minority Leader Champ
Clark
1t remains that something definite
was accomplished, and that rules
were really changed so as to allow
more freedom of debate and largely
increased latitude for the introduce
ton of bills, as we'll as a record of
votes-matters conceded to be most
needing reform. Just how indefi-
mite were the plans of Mr.. Clark is
shown by the Congressional Record,
in which he is reported as saying:
This committee Of fifteen is to be
appointed to bring into the house a
revised code of rules. What changes
it would finally suggest | do not
know. If we did not like them we
could reject them, whether important
or unimportant. The thing wanted
and the thing that we will finally
secure is full opportunity to debate
the rules, and it is mOnstrous to say
that we shall not debate them and
amend them in any respect whatever.
In the fifty-third congress we de-
bated them off and on for six weeks,
and no harm was done. On the con-
trary much good was accomplished.
The committee of fifteen is author
lied to investigate and hear Witness
es and to hear arguments"
This committee of fifteen proposed
| by Mr. Clark was to be composed of
| nine republicans and six democrats.
AS to what their report would be he
says he does not know. But he
agrees here with the point so clearly
made by the so-caIled "bolters" that
! the committee could only recon-
| mend rules and it would remain for
the house to pass upon them. This
! still remains the case, and if the in
|surgent' republicans remain opposed
! to "Cannonism and "Cannonism'
was never possible except by repub-
lican will and cOnsent-the rules
can be still further changed, though
it has been made impossible for the
changes wrested from the republic
cans by the Fitzgerald amendments
ito be taken away except by two
thirds majority.
Here is what is said about the
matter by Representative Howard,
! Brantley, Griggs. Livingston, Ed
wards and Lee, the six Georgia con-
gressmen who voted for what they
regarded as indispensable amend
ments at this session instead of stick
ing to Mr.. Clark's plan of postpone
ment:
80 far as the committee on rules
is concerned it can only recommend.
A majority Of the house must adopt
its recommendations or they have no

ROBBED MEDICINE" CHEST.
The Stock Was just What Might
Have Been Expected in Atlanta.

Among other places visited by bur-
glars in Atlanta Thursday night was
the medicine chest of the Pied
mont Driving Club, which was found
empty and dry the next morning.
The chest was kept we'll stocked
with the ingredients most likely to
overcome such illnesses as depression
OF spirits and the blues. According
to list furnished the police the fol-
lowing medicinal articles were ap-
propriated by the invaders: Forty
quarts of whiskey, seven quarts of
champagne.
The forty quarts of liquor consist
ed of eleven bottles of rare old corn,
fifteen of high-grade rye, five of i'm
ported Scotch and nine quarts of
Bourbon.
Members of the club who were ill
were forced to seek other places for
medicines" Friday, and the club is
suffering from temporary unpopular
ity until the chests can be re-
stocked.

force. The majority can vote down
or amend the recommendations of
committee of five as easily as those
of a committee of fifteen. The great
iniquity of the rules of the house has
ever been in special rules reported by
the committee on rules. 1t is now,
and always has been, in the power of
the insurgent republicans to vote
with the democrats against the adOp-
ton of these special rules, or for
amendments to them, and if they
would do so the committee on rules
would be poweTless to perpetrate
their iniquities. Better. however
than risk four insurgent republicans
voting with six democrats on a com
mittee on rules against five organ
lied republicans, where republican
policies are to be enacted into law
we thought, was to cripple the power
of this committee, and this was done
by the Fitzgerald amendments. "
1t will take something more than
denunciation or even a reprimand
from their fellow-members to con-
vince US that these gentlemen were
untrue to either principle or party
in this action, or that they caused
the loss of any stragetic points

EXPRESS CAR FOR HOGS

SDicV Comment


Editor Mashburn of the Shellman
Sun took peep into railroad pas
senger coach the other day, and was
inspired to write the following, which
appeared in the last issue of his pa
per:
In the passenger coaches of our
trains there is a conspicuous no.
tice stating in effect that splitting
on the floor is Objectionable, and
that gentlemen will not do it and
others must not. Very good. We
suggest that another notice also be
posted stating that hogs must ride
in the express car or on the freight
train. 1t is very common to see a
man passenger faithfully guarding a
whole seat, and often two seats his
body on one and his feet and grips
on the other He takes no notice
of others who may have to stand if
the car is crowded. The Central
train one day last week was crowded
to the platforms, yet there wac one
woman passenger who appeared to
be asleep occupying two seats"

Have Rendered Splendid Service.

From the Athens Banner.
The six GeOrgians who bolted
the caucus doubtless have good rea-
sons for their action They have
in the past rendered Georgia good
service in many ways in congress,
and there are years of usefulness
ahead of them. All insinuations Of
unworthy motives behind their ac-
tiOns are uncalled for. They doubt
less did just exactly what they
thought would be for the best inter
ests of their constituents and will be
able to explain their attitude at the
proper time. This is no time for
democrats to be Quarreling Now is
the time to preserve harmony and
cool heads.

Were Free to Vote Their Conviction,

From the Macon Telegraph.
After carefully reading the debate
in congress on the issue between Ger
tain Georgia democrats and others
in the house on the question of rules,
as reported in the congressional Rec
ord Of March 18th, we are forced to
the conclusion that the whole affair
has been magnified beyond its i'm
pOrtance.
1t also appears that the caucus
action by a majority of democrats
was not binding, and members of the
caucus were free to vote their in
diVidual conviction.
