Max Enterprise.

Snow slides in North Dakota
stopping the trains is something
most people never even dreamed
of but that very thing took place
ia the mountainous" regions mead
Kuso on Monday. The day was
warm with an exceedingly strong
wind that played havoc with the
snow in the railroad cuts especially
and the thawing process ate its
hay rapidly underneat the banks
and becoming top-heavy, they
tumbeled down onto the track.
Both passengers fund it i,npos-
sible to make their way and it,was
necessary to send for Il rotary to
come and clear the track. What
next?

Crooked Lake Benefited.

Gullick Jaastad who ownes a
general merchandise store on the
south end of Crooked Lake went
to Minot this week to bring out a
gasoline launch he has purchased
to ride over the waves of Crool ed
Lake. This improvement toward
bettering Crooked Lake as a sum-
mer resort stands Mr.. Jaastad at
about $500. The launch is four
horse power and will carry 25
passengers. The round trip the
full length of the Lake and back
will be eleven miles. With lit
tie expense on the channel be.
tween Crooked and Long Lake a
distance of 9 miles and return
could be made. Now the public
anxiouslp waits to learn what en-
terprising citizen will lay out a
park on this beautiful lake and
add little more interest to this
enterprise. Crooked is but few
miles north of Turtle Lake and
makes a fine place for our citizens
to spend an occasional holiday
hunting and fishing. Turtle Lake

DAKOTA IRON
co. ORGANIZED
Organized under Laws of
Minnesota at Moor
head Last Week.

The Dakota Iron Co. is a new
organization which was incorpor-
ated under the laws of Minnesota
at meeting in Moorhead last
week. The new company has Il
capital stock Of 100000. Follow
ing are the officers: j. ID. Lamb,
president. Michigan. n. D.: JAS. T.
McCulloch. vice.president, Wash
burn. n D.: G. F. Lamb, secre-
tary-treasurer, Michigan. ND. Be-
sides the officers the directors are
H. r. Turner. Of Fargo, and Geo.
Lamb, OF Michigan, N. D.
The company has taken over as
a holding company 700 acres of
iron land on the Cayuna iron range
at Deerwood mine. These lands
are located in townships 1928 and
1929, which are said to be the
banner townships for iron deposits
on the range.
Sevaral propositions to explore
the land have already been made
to officers of the company and at
the meeting yesterday the policy
Of the company was determined
upon.
No exploration will be unler-
taken by the company for the
present at least, but the lands wilt
be leased to iron furance men on q
royalty basis.
Reports from Deerwood are that
at least thirty drills are operating
in that vicinity at the present
time and it is claimed that in the
neighborhood of 100 drills will be
in operation on the iron range the
coming simmer.
Large iron and steel interests
are already heavily interested on
the range, and the recent discovery
of an extra high grade ore OH
the range, and the recent discovery
of an extra high grade ore on
lands controlled by George H.
Crosby has shown up through
drilling one of the largest bodies
of high grade ore in the Lake
Superior iron districts.
The Dakota Iron Co. have hold
ings in the immediate vicinity of
the Crosby discovery. The Of
ficers of the company are we'll
known North Dakota business
men.
MIR. f. A. Lamb. of this city. is
heavily interested in this company
as we'll as with a number
of local parties in other lands on
the iron range which are not in
cluded in the holdings of the
above oomdany. Mr. Lamb has
spent much time during the past
two years ON the range-being
among the first to 90 there and
has acquired some very desirable
holdings,

day the more enterprising pub
lications in cities east of the
Mississippi are taking part in
aiding the movement. and the
slower ones are showing indica-
tions Of following their example.
This publicity, it is pointed out,
is continually broadening the
circle of those who are likely to
become purchasers Of irrigated
land.
Private projects, of which there
are many that are praisworthy, are
recRoned among the prominent
factors for the present year, along
with those being furthered under
the reclamation and Carey acts.
These projects are scattered all
through the, west and are of all
sizes, usually small. In addition
to what is being done by private
owners, the railroads are helping
the movement by advertising and
by making cheap homeseekers'
rates to distant points.
Several high-class irrigation
projects have been hampered by
lack of rail facilities. There are
two or three spots that offer ex.
cellent opportunities as far as
soil, water and climate are con-
cerned, but that cannot be reached
without travelling by stage fol
several days. The majority OF
places thus cut of from market
facilities are promised relief within
short time, and some of them
may be given rail communication
with the outside world during the
present year. There is hardly
any part of the west Of any conse-
quence where surveyors stakes
marking the way toward some new
undeveloped spot, cannot be seen,
and the grader is following the
surveyor as RAPIDLY as possible.
Of all the causes that are work
ing for advancement friends of the
west believe that one of the most
important is the increasing activity
in irrigation securities, for the
aid of strong financial interests is
greatly needed in developing the
projects that require expenditures
that run up into the millions.
AS interest rates are high in
the west, the returns are large and
the security, based on Il reliable
project is of the best. 1t is only
a few years since irrigation securi-
ties were not taken seriously by
the majority, but they are now
taking their place with the best
offered on the market. The
money raised in this way used in
development Of water resources
and in throwing desert acres
open for settlers. The present
financial situation is believed to
be decidedly favorable to the de-
velopemrnt Of western irrigation
enterprises during the current
year.
The educational work being
done by agricultural colleges and
stations throughout
The west is held to be q great
benefit. The owners Of land are
saught how to develope their
holdings to the fullest extent under
irrigation and are supplied with
acurate standards. There ex-
pertinent farms are to be found in
.lmost every locality Of any con-
and often are established
prior to the a.lyent Of the settler.
The instructions in these insti-
sutions deliver free lectures and
tree bulletins are distributed to
iii who are interested.
Friends of the west also include
The building Of transcontinen
railroads, organizations Of stock

ferences to Wind.
The Fargo Forum is a good North
Dakota newspaper and it is
natural for it's management to be
fair in the treatment of men and
affairs. In view Of the factional
difference in the republican party
in North Dakota it Is really un-
fortunate that a paper like the
Forum should be a factional
organ and that its comment on
affairs political during the heat of
a campaign should be distorted
aud warped. In. the interest Of a
reunited party in this state we
need more than anything else an
independent republican newspaper,
a newspaper like the Forum if the
inclination of its management was
allowed to prevail. A newspaper
like the Forum with moral
standing could be power TO,
gg,d. In the late primaries the
Forum appeared as rank tactic.
nal newspaper. 1t was an un-
compromising stalwart supporter
and is more or less SO at this time.
Especially it had many unkind
comments to make about Senator
Hansbrough and was Jealous to
contribute to his defeat. Now
however. on this particular. sub.
ject. factionalism is laid aside and
the Forum for once! gives: it read
ers the real true sentiment of its
management on the retirement of
Senator Hansbrough, and Incl
dentally pays the senator the fol-
lowing splendid tributes:
North Dakota has lost the SER
vices in the national congress of
Henry Clay aansbrough. For
twenty years two as a member of
the popular branch, and for three
full terms a member of the senate
Mr.. Hansbrough has been North
Dakota's representative in, Wash
ington. Human-like Hansbrough
has made mistakes lot cf them.
But while he was making them,
he has also accomplished lot for
the state and had reached the stage
where he was in position to do
things in the future.
Whatever the personal feelings
against Hansbrough, North Da-
kotans will regret that the state

public experience. This is an as
. set which is impossl BILE to transfer
TO his successor, While NJ n.
johnson is acquiring what is
thrown away by Hansbrough's de-
feat. the state will be the loser. q
There have been rumors Of the
possibility Of the selection of Mr..
Hansbrough as secretary of the
senate. These are largely idle gos-
sip. There is no question, how
ever. Of Mr.. Hansbrough's ex-
oeptional qualifications for the

feeling against the retired senator
hope that he will be fortunate
enough to secure the position or

BOOM
Homeseekus and Capitalists Wide Awake to 0p-
portunities In the Great Golden West.
Indications are that the Coming Year Will be the
Most Notable In Reclamation History.

That the coming year will be the
most notable in the history of
irrigation is the belief Of those
who are in close touch with the
wonderful developments now
going on in the West. This be-
lief is based on several facts and
conditions. all of which show the
progress that is being made.
The interest in new projects,
according to a veteran irrigator,
shows that both capitalist and
homeseeker are wide awake for
opportunities. Men of means and
corporations. having witnessed
the remarkable growth in locali-
ties where water has been supplied
to the desert, are, anxious to find
new fields to conquer. 1t is
doubtful if there has ever
been a time when the inquiry for
new irrigation projects was as
brisk as at present. Engineers
and experts are looking over every
promising valley in the West and
are making a close study of the
possibilities of reclaiming land.
One or two of the projects
likely to be undertaken within a
short time rank among the largest
yet attempted. These have been
taken under consideration as q
result of the continual expansion
that is going on and because Of
the success of previous efforts OH
a smaller scale. Of the proposed
projects there is one that alone
will involve the expenditures OF
$25, 100000 This great work is
to be put through with private
capital and furnishes evidence of
the interest that has been awaken
ed among eastern tinanciers.
In addition to the projects
likely to be undertaken there are
several approaching completion
that will be thrown open to the
public during the current season.
OF these the projects of the United
States reclamation service have
the most general attent-
ion. The new dam across the
Boise River. eight miles south
east of Boise, Id, Other govern
ment projects will be opened
during the year. It is planned to
have at least one of the most not
able openings take place June ~,
the anniversary of the passage of
The reclamation act.
What the government is doing
in southern Idaho is overshadowed
however, by the development
going on in the same vicinity
under the Carney act. The short
period Of residence required
under the Carey act, as we'll as the
strength Of the companies that
are backed by the state in their
irrigation enterprises, have proved
extremely attractive to home
seekers, and some of the lands
have gone with rush as soon as
they have been placed on the
market.
Homsseekers are going to the
Northwest, central West and
south west in q steady stream and
ire rapidly peopling the vacant
ands. This movement is growing
in strength and it is taken as one
of the best guarantees Of the
stability Of irrigation in popular
tavor. The prediction regarding
