raw ma aterial for growing INDUS

prosperity of the state.
No one in the state has given
more attention to the Goals nnd
clays than Prof. Earl J. Babcock,
dean of the school of mines.
Under his direction more than
fifty methods of briquetting Iig-
mite have been worked out in IN.

sufficiently tenacious to permit
handling and shipping, but Mr.
Babcock IS not satisfied that any
of the methods can be made cam
mercially profitable. He is conf
dent, however, of attaining his OBJ
ject. Then North Dakota, he
says, will supply cheap and desir-
able fuel to the entire north.
Mr.. Babcock and his associates
have given much attention to the
clays and have achieved splendid
results. Brick of course, has
been made for many years, but
Mr.. Babcock wants the state 10

ADVOCATES OF new METHOD OF MU.
MuPM GOVERNMENT SHORT
MNETY.NNE VOTES.

Fargo, July 23-The commits
sion form of government is
thing of the future so far as Far
go is concerned. BY a vote of 86s
to 967 the advocates of the com
mission plan met defeat in yester'
days election. The vote was
light in the majority of the wards
especially in the residence dis
tricts. 5s ...-.
The First and Second wards de.
cided the contest. By an over
whelming majority the First and
Second wards voted against the
proposed plan. The votes in the
other wards were more evenly
cast.
The commission advocates car
ried five out of seven precincts in
the city and but for the leads
which the opposition made in the
First, Second and Seventh wards,
the advocates of the new plan of
city government would have won.
When the polls were closed, ea-
ger groups of men were assem-
bled at the different wards to get
first tips on the result of the elec-
tion. Returns from the wards
carried by advocates of the COM
mission were received first and the
opponents were in deep gloom.
Then came the returns from the
First and Second wards and those
who had worked for the change
knew that their best efforts had
been defeated. I.t:

FARM, STOCK AND HOME SUGGESTS
THAT LABOR SCARCITY IN NORTH
WEST COULD Be REMEDlED..

So serious is the condition in
the wheat fields of the Dakotas
and Montana because of the scar
4, city of harvest hands, that the
Farm, Stock and Home, an agri-
cultural paper, has suggested that
congress SHOULD be asked to pass a
law giving the railroads permis-
sion to carry labor to the wheat
fields for | cent a mile.
S. NJ. Owen, editor of that pa
per, declares that the conditions
are more serious than they have
ever been before. Labor" he
declares, is frightfully scarce
and if there is not sudden influx
to the great wheat fields of the
West, there is grave danger that
a great part of the crop will be
lost"
The circular sent out by the
Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste.
Marie road, stating that 1O,1O6
hands we're wanted in Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, was ver-
fled this morning at the local Of
fees of that line. where it was
Stated that the circular was COM
piled from reports of agents at va
rious points in the three states.
These agents declare that the har-
vest this year is very heavy and
that up to the present time little
labor has appeared to take care of
it. To all appearances the har-
vest situation is assuming serious
proportions.
Notwithstanding these reports
from the farm paper and the rail-
road, the employment bureaus in
the city report that they have had
few requests for labor. There
are many men going west now,"
s,id the clerk in charge of local
employment agency, but they
are merely victims of the western
fever. They 60 out two or three
weeks too early for the harvest,
find nothing to do and then return
Just as the wheat is ready to cut
and the farmers are left without
hands. As far as we agents are
we have had no appeals
for hands from the Western far
mers. It is Minnesota that wants
the most men and we are having
daily calls from this state for farm
labor"

FOR MANAGEABLE WATERWAYS.

Several years ago f~ar.seeing men
became convinced that the only way
in which the agricultural interests of
the nation could be advanced was
through the building up of the west.
It was noted that 90 far az the devel.
opment of irrigation by private cspi-
tai was concerned, the limit had prac-
ticslly been reached and that unless
the congress of the United States
could be led to act, the growth of the
west would be sensibly retarded and
the danger of q shortage of food pro-
ducts would be acute.

Hunting For Justice.

Justice is Of course loudly demanded
by every litigant in a court Of law. but
it is a frequent inirmity Of the human
mind to confuse justice with ones own
cause. The late Thomas B. Reed, &C.
cording to a writer in Law Notes, used
to tell an amusing story to illustrate
this tendency.
He was nee retained by an enter.
prising client to prosecute ar action.
On talking with the plaintiffs wit.
nesses MI. Reed found that their sto.
ries were far from consistent, so he re.
ported the fact to his client and I'D.
vised that the suit be dropped. The
client was somewhat perturbed, but
told the attorney he would have q talk
with the witnesses and let him know
the next morning what he had decided
to do. True to his word. he dropped
in bright and early, wearing the cheer
full look of one who has fought thu
good fight.
1--WE seen those Witnesses" he ex
planned, land they say they must have
been mistaken when they talked will
you. They all see it alike now. Nv,

such a thing IS justice in law we cam
