In view of the fact that arrange,

throwing open next year of the Fort
Berthold Indian reservation, sixty
miles north Of Bismarck-one of the
richest sections of the whole north

JUST A FEW EXPERIENCES.

James McGillic, of Mandan, has
been for years a dealer in farm pro-
ducts and ships thousands OF dollars
worth OF eggs and poultry out OF
Morton county to the far west. He
ships potatoes in carload lots to Ohio
points and Chicago. He notes that
there is remarkable increase IN
general farm products of all kinds
showing that mixed farming is a sue
cess in this western section where
people once thought that nothing but
buffalo grass would grow. He re-
marked on the increased production
of such vegetables as caullfower, to-
matoes, and celery. Last year one
farmer in Oliver county north OF
Mandan sold one thousand dollars
worth of celery off small patch OF
land. If the average farmer Will de-
vote as much time and energy to his
farming that the average man does
to his business he would know no
such word as fail in securing good
crops.

Has Encouraged Corn Raising.

L. N. Cary has lived on the slope
for 20 years., He handled the lands
of the Northern Pacific railway com
pany until they were disposed OF.
He always maintained that the wes-
tern part of the state was just as
reliable and as good farming coun-
try as the James or Red river val
legs. His ideas were scoffed at by
those who tried to hold the country
for the ranchers but he has stayed
on the slope long enough to see his
assertions proved true.
He has for years offered large priz-
es in money for fine corn exhibits
and has in his Office building hne
display of all kinds of corn grown
in Morton county that would be
credit to Illinois Or Iowa. Mr.. Cary
thinks corn is to be the great crop
Of the slope in the near future and
he is educating by precept and exam.

Washington, May 4.-There can

decision by Solicitor Earle, for the

Senate Measure Gives Power to Pres
ident to Start Tariff War.
Washington, May 4.-The senate
tariff bill, in the section which deals
with the maximum and minimum
proposition, has, in the judgment
of tariff experts, one very important
feature 1t practically vests in the
President the power to declare tar
III war against any nation or to re-
frain from any such war.
1t is given to him to decide wheth-
err any nation is discriminating
against the products of the United
States in it's system of duties. This
permits the government, through the
state department and the other
agencies provided by law, to make
agreements with other nations as to
trade and tariff concession which
can be made effective by proclama-
ton of the President without the ne
cessity of anything in the way of
legislation or treaty agreement.
