ORE. FRUIT LANDS
ATTRACTING MANY
PERSONS IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE
ARE ACQUIRING SMALL FARMS
WHERE THEY MAY BECOME IN
DEPENDENT WITHIN A SHORT
TiME-FARGoANs INTERESTED.

| A well known writer in comparing
the life of the city to that of the coun-
try says: THE city dweller has
awakened to the realization. that he is
entitled to more out of life than the
mere right to exist through it. Compe-
tition for every post from entry clerk
Ito factory foreman is so intense that
his immediate earning powers are linn
| tied by the long string of men ahead,
and his increases are controlled by
a longer string of men behind, who are
willing to underbid for the bigger
posts"
The conditions stated in the fore
going and the fact that intensified
farming is appealing more and more
to those now following agricultural
pursuits. combine to increase the de-
mand for fruit lands, where a family
may live in affluence on ten or fif-
teen acres. This is particularly true
on irrigated lands where, with favor
able climatic conditions and sufficient
water supply, great variety of products
can be realized and in such quantity
as to net from $500 to $1,000 per acre.
| A large number of our fellow towns
men have accompanied the excursions
of the Columbia Land Co. to their high
class irrigation project at Stanfield,
Oregon, and have returned with glow
| ing accounts of conditions and posi-
bilities there. Among those who came
back from there a few days since are
Prof C. B. Waldron of the Agricultural
college of ST. Louis, p. G. Frazier, H.
e. Allen, John Towers, and other well
known Fargo citizens, all of whom are
most favorably impressed with con-
ditions in the Oregon county.
| The Columbia Land Co, was award
ed % first premiums for fruit ETC.,
displayed at the East Oregon fair held
at Pendelton. Or, in September
which speaks volumes for that district
Lands of this class will increase in
value very rapidly for the acreage

of products is limited and asNhas been
truthfully said God creates more peo-
pie every day but is not making any

The Columbia and Co. runs an ex-
cursion ev, ry two weeks from North
Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota

OPENED BIDS FOR
AN AERIAL TRUCK
REPRESENTATIVES, or AMERICAN
LA FRANCE AND sEAGRAvE
COMPANIES ADDRESSED CITY
COUNCIL LAST EvENING-RIDs
GO TO COMMITTEE.

The opening Of bids for an aerial
truck for the fire department COM
posed the business transacted at the
adjourned meeting OF the city council
men Bolene, Bowers, Clapp, Early,
Hodges, Lewis, Powers, Stern and
Stewart were present.
Auditor N. e. Morgan announced
that bids for the construction OF the
new hose mouse on the south side, had
not been received, probably on account
of the fact that contractors had been
able to figure but very short time
and many were not ready to submit
bids. The city had been requested to
postpone any action on this matter till
the end Of the week.
Bids for a new aerial truck were
opened, two having been received. The
American La France Co. offered to
furnish the outfit with rubber tires for
Salts or without SASS. The bid of
the Seagrave Co. was $4,000.
On motion of Alderman Clapp the
bids were referred to the fire and
water committee and the chief Of the
0CPcAA LtAACAAIy W LCPOIl at LAG AAV@AA
meeting. There were members of the
council who asked for immediate ac-
ton and representatives Of the two
companies were called on.
For the La France Co. Thos. r.
tombstone explained his truck in a
very thorough and practical manner.
Mr.. tombstone is now chief of the
Crookston fire department and is well
known in Fargo. He made q very
neat address before the council, de-
monstrating many Of the features of
his truck
E. p. Browning, representing the
Seagrave Co. talked OF mis- truck and
read the specifications which were ex-
planned in detail. Both gentlemen
were listened to intently by the mem
'bers of the council.
Bids for supplies for the auditor
office as well as steel fixtures for the
vault were received and referred to
the supply committee with power to
act.
The salary committee signified it's
readiness to report on several ordin-
ances raising the salaries of city en-
ployes. On motion this report was de-
ferred to the next regular meeting, SO
that the entire council may be pres
ent.

HERMAN BOlCE TO
GO BEFORE BOARD
cAss COUNTY FARMERS HOLD
ING SCHOOL LANDS ORGANIZED
YESTERDAY TO DEMAND JUS
TIcE-RIe MEETING HELD THIS
MORNING AT COURTHOUSE.

In order to handle the matter in a
musiness like manner, lessons Of Cass
county school lands yesterday after
noon formally organized by the cleo
ton of j. H. Wilcox of Tower City,
chairman and c. e. Showers of Wheat
land. secretary. After considerable
discussion 1T was decided to have a
representation of the farmers appear
before the board of univ "rsity and
school lands and Herman Boyce of
Absaraka was selected.
1t appears that the situation in this
county is without parallel in the state.
The commissioner of the land de-
partment and the personnel of the
board has changed entirely since the
Cass county school lands were leased
last fall. When the sale of these lands,
which were leased for five years, were
ordered, it is claimed that thS board
had no knowledge of the situation.
The sentiment of the farmers yes
terday resolved itself into two PROPOSE
TONS which it is likely that Boyce Will
lay before the board when he appears
at Bismarck The farmers want the
want possession of the land until No
vember 1910, or reimbursement for all
blowing or other work that has been
done.
Commissioner Alex Mcdonald ap-
pears of the opinion that these de-
mands are quite fair, and while he has
no authority to make a settlement with
the farmers, it is believed that his
recommendation to the board will have
considerable weight. Having secured
the sentiment in this county, he is
thoroughly acquainted with the situa-
ton.
This morning about forty additional
farmers appeared at the court house
at 10 o'clock. 1t was rumored that the
commissioner had left the city last
evening, believing that all the farmers
who wished to be hear were present
yesterday. This was erroneous, but
spread like wild fire. The farmers are
Of the opinion that they are hardly
getting square deal in the first place.
The comm ssioner appeared, however,
and the situation was gone over thor
oughly.
Many Of the farmers present had
summer fallowed the land this year,
some having plowed it twice since II
was leased, without having harvested
crop. One individual was present,
who has planted winter rye. He claims
that If the lease is taken away that
he will put lean on the crop. There
don't appear to be any doubt in the
minds of the farmers but that just
settlement will be reached with the
state, before the matter is disposed

GOT CONVICTION
in LAST ACTION
c4As. COUNSEL HELD GUILTY IN
COUNTY COURT OF CARRYING
CONCEALED WEAPONS THREE
coLoRED MEN SENTENCED BY
JUDGE HANSON THIS MORNING.

The last criminal case tried in the
county court at the October term re-
suited in the conviction OF Charley
Counsel, colored. on the charge Of car
rying concealed weapons. The case
was given the jury late yesterday aft
ernoon and a verdict Of guilty as
charged" soon arrived at.
The counsel case was the last TO be
tried at this term. He was the last
defendant held in Jail. Those out on
bail viii be tried at the next term of
court.
This morning the defendants con-
victed at this term were arraigned
before Judge Hanson to be sentenced.
Joseph Robbins, colored, stated that
his true name was Joseph Robinson.
He was found guilty of having in his
possession an unreasonable quantity of
liquor He was sentenced to serve
four months in the county Jail and pay
a fine of 5000, in default of which he
will serve an additional day.
John Smith, colored, convicted of as
sault and battery, was given thirty
days in jail. In speaking of the rec
ommendation OF the jury, to suspend
sentence, the judge stated 1T would be
impossible. under the statute. to do
this. The suspension OF sentence APP
plies only to felonies-not misdemean-
ors, the class of cases tried in the
county court. In this case the jury
reached the verdict of guilty after
spending considerable time In the jury
room
Charley Counsel was given thirty
days in the county Jail for carrying
concealed weapons.
In the case OF the state against VIM
Mcdonald, States Atty A. w. Fowler
moved to dismiss holding there was
insufficient evidence to warrant trying
the. case before jury. Mcdonald Ia
the colored man who purchased $14
revolver to guard 20 cents. There was
no direct evidence from any witness
that Mcdonald was ever seen carrying
the weapon.
The jury was yesterday afternoon
excused. It Is believed that another
jury will not be called until after the
first of the year, which means that
this jury will not have to serve again
| II there was another term of county
court to be held this year, the same
| jury would hold good. The jury panel
that is drawn the first of the year
will serve at all terms for the calen-
dar year.
