many of whom have become wealthy
through the advice he gave. Mr..
Bass studied the territory Of the
Great Northern at first hand and he
was a veritable walking encyclopedia
of land information. He conld select
by memory almost the ideal piece OF
land required by prospective buyer
So accurate and so minute in details
was his knowledge of the particular
sections that his statement in hun
dreds of instances obviated the nee
essity of a personal inspection by the
purchaser 1t is doubtful If there
has ever been a dissatisfied person
who was located by Max Bass. North
Dakota has perpetuated his name
by christening one of her towns Max

Great Northern, but his greatest mon
ument is the appreciation of the thou

ed the hummocks and piled up the
snow in large dunes like the sands OF
home shores.
The snow house was not cemented
with water. The tone of the wind did
not seem to indicate danger, and, fur
thermore, we were beginning to real
ize the great need of fuel economy.
We therefore did not deem It pru-
dent to use oil for the fire to melt
snow. except to quench thirst.
Not particularly anxious about the
outcome Of the storm and with senses
blunted by overwork and benumbed'
with cold, we sought the comfort Of
the bags.
Buried Under the Snow.
Awakened in the course of few
hours by drifts Of snow about our feet,
it was noted that the wind had bur-
rowed holes in the weak spots through
the snow wall. Still, we were bound
not to be cheated out Of few hours
sleep, and with one eye open we turned
over. Later I was awakened by fall
ing snow blocks.
Forcing my head out Of the Ice In

been swept away and that we were

The v. C. Times Record dominates
an "insurgent" state ticket in Mon
days issue, which states Buchanan
of Stutsman county for governor
Woods of Grand Forks for state sup
erintendent, renominates Bickford
Stutsman and Anderson and leaves
one or two places open for the rest
of the ''insurgents" to choose. Of
Marshall's probable attitude the
Times Record says, with extreme con
servatism:
While there can be nothing GER
tain about his becoming a candi-
date until he makes some sort of
an announcement, there can be
little doubt but that Marshall will
become a candidate if progressive
sentiment appears to fix upon him
as the logical candidate. Since
he has made no announcement
to even his closest friends that he
is out fthe race, it is quite
clear that he is at least consider
ing the matter and they express
the belief that If the progressive
generally desire his candidacy,
he will make the fight.

n URING two days Of chilly blus-
ter the sleds were forced along
IL with encouraging results, and
on the evening Of March &c.
with a pedometer and other method
of dead reckoning for position. we
were placed at latitude "a degrees
SO minutes. The western horizon re-
manned persistently undisturbed. A
brisk storm. it seemed. was gathering.
but it was long time in coming
eastward. On the evening of the 26th
we prepared for the blast and built the
igloo stronger than usual, hoping that
the horizon would be cleared by good
blow on the morrow and afford us a
day of rest. The long. steady marches,
without time for recuperation, had be-
gun to check our enthusiasm.
In the daily monotony Of hardship
we had learned to appreciate more and
more the joy Of the sleeping bag. It
was the only animal comfort which af-
forded a relief to our life Of frigids,
and with it we tried to force upon the
weary body in the long marches a
pleasing anticipation.
In the evening. after the blocks Of
snow walled a dome in which we could

visor should be a man Of executive
ability, such as no examination can
test, and he should be a man well
known in his community. Indeed.
| men of the type desired would not In
| most instances be willing to submit
themselves to a civil service examin-
alton. Neither the director of the
census, his superior officer, the secre
tary of commerce and labor, nor the
president, can possibly have personal
acquaintance throughout the country
with men suitable to fill these posi-
tions, nor even with men outside or
political positions, whose advice they
can seek. The representative Of tho
district in congress or the party lead
ers in the district have the necessary
knowledge of local conditions and 10
cal men, and it is not only natural buf
practically necessary as matter OF
good administration that they shouf
be asked to make recommendations
for positions Of this character.
fortunately, members of congress
and party leaders are coming mor!>
and more to appreciate the import
ance of accurate census statistics.
The spoils idea of appointments i"
growing constantly less dominant
The director of the census has don"
everything possible to impress upon
those whose opinions were asked re
garding the superyisorships, the i'm
portance of the necessity Of having
men Of marked executive ability and
of absolute integrity. The informa.
ton furnished by members of con
gress and party leaders regarding the
candidates whom they have recon-"
mended has been supplemented by
full personal statements required
from each candidate, and in most
cases by numerous letters of introduce
ton from business and professional
men.
"In the large cities the admins
tration is evidently less dependent
than in the country districts upon
members of congress and party lead
ers for information regarding avail
able material for such positions as
that OF supervisor Of the census and
the president and the secretary OF
commerce and labor have Joined
with the director of the census in es-
tablishing the policy of making selec-
lions, whenever the information on
which to act was available, without
depending on the recommendations OF
political leaders"

NEEDS OF THE STATE.

An article by Hugh J. Hughes of
the State Agricultural college in
Farm, Stock and Home, the well.
known agricultural publication, gives
some Impressions Of a journey
through the western portion Of the
state. In summarizing his observa-
tons, Mr.. Hughes says:
"All told travelled over a thou
sand miles through North Dakota,
covering the best and poorest parts of
the state east of the Missouri river.
And this is the situation as see it:
1.-THE grain farmer is pushing his
credit too hard, and he is winning
out, not on the profits in grain-grow-
ing, but on the rise in land values.
"The farmers of the Red River Val
ley are on the whole we'll situated,
and have money to loan.
'The greatest lack in North Dakota
farming today is lack Of ready cap
ital on the part Of those in the CEN
trail and western parts of the state.
1.-THE greatest need in North Dakota
today is to diversity crops, go into
dairying, raise cattle, sheep, hogs,
poultry-have good garden, cut
your expenses, and pay as you 60.
Corn can be raised anywhere in
North Dakota. It will produce splen.
did roughage up to the Canadian line
and out to the Montana border. II
not far beyond. It's value as grain
crop is still in question, at least in
the northern half of the state.
Alfalfa and clover can be grown
anywhere in North Dakota, on soils
adapted to them. I saw splendid
fields of both far to the northwest,
near the Canadian line, in the sandy
belt south of Bismarck, and in the
Valley Of the Red.
Timothy and bromus inermis are
reliable crops anywhere in North Da
kota, SO far as climate Is concerned.
Timothy, bromus, clover, alfalfa,
, corn. The farmer who will use them
to the benefit OF his land and the en-
richment of himself Is already riding
the binder. The future Of North Da-
kota is stock, dairying, butter and
| cheese making, much grain, smaller
farms, better homes, peter schools,
| better society, more Of the comforts
of life" y $r .,Es +.
