SILVER SERVICE FOR
NEW BHTTESHIp.
6everaor Burke Calls on the People Of
the State to Show Their Patriotism
sss i5s5: S. by Purchase Of a Silver Ser
vice for the Battieship
" North Dakota.

Governor Burke has addressed let
ter to the people of the state Of North
Dakota calling their attention to the
fact that it would be a fitting thing for
the people to present th g battleship
North Dakota with a silver service.
The plan is to have The money raised
by popular subscription and toilet every
one have q hand in the affair. The
governors letter is as follows: ..,; &
Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 81.
To the People of the State Of North
Dakota: ..s f.
Sometime ago our state was honored
by having one of the United States
battleships named for her. It is the
custom for each state for which bat
tleship is named to present the ship
with silver service. Our legislature
cannot, under the constitution, appro-
pirate money for the purpose; but I am
sure the patriotic people of the state of
North Dakota desire to follow the gen
eral custom in such cases, and that they
are willing to raise the amount neces-
sary to purchase the silver service by
public subscriptions. The battleship
will be finished and ready for commits
sion about January l of next year, and
the presentation should be made at or
about the time the ship goes into COM
mission. s.s.,
For the purpose of organizing the
state in connection with the raising of
the necessary fund, l have appointed a
committee of prominent citizens who
are authorized to select the design and
collect the funds necessary to purchase
suitable silver service for the battle
ship North Dakota. This is matter
of.state wide interest and state pride,
and have tried to select the COMMITTEES
accordingly. The committee is as fol

Hon. E. Y. Sarles, Hillsboro.
Hon. Frank White, Valley City.
Hon. Roger Allen. Park River.
Hon. w. A. Scott, Fargo.
Hon. Geo. Winship, Grand Forks.
Hon. Martin Jacobson, Minot. i
Hon. John Bruegger, Willistun. q
Hon. F. L. Thompson, Gando. ~.
Hon. Frank Lish, Dickinson:
The committee is respectfully re-
quested to proceed and carry forward
this work as promptly as possible,

BOUND TO ROB
GRAIN GROWERS.
Board Of Trade Men, With the Notorious
9 Jim Patten at Their Head, Determined
jig to Rob the Farmers Of the,
Grain Crop Now Being
Marketed.

Following is a copy of circular re-
ceived by The Tribune a. few days ago
from the state organizer Of the Society
of Equity: - 49,.
A conversation was overheard re-
Gently in the Chicago Office of Jim Pat
ten, the great wheat gambler, in which
the speaker declared that all move
ments of the farmers to market their
products without the aid Of the boards
of trade must be suppressed, that the
farmers did not know enough to mar
ket their crops, and besides the prices
were governed by the worlds markets.
and that the board of trade would see to
it that the reports sent out regarding the
crops would be most flattering and the
prices for grain would be held down
until the producers sold out.
The news in the press confirms this.
Already it IS given that North Dakota
and the rest Of the spring wheat states
have bumper crops, and the price. of
wheat q d other grains have been
marked down. The plan of the American
Society of Equity must be carried out If
the farmers expect a Iair price for
their grain, and only by selling according
to the plan adopted by the Fargo con-
yention, can success be attained.
How important it is for the farmers
to combine and cooperate through the
society has been pointed out by Senator
McC Cumber, who stated that the t'Soci-
ETY. of Equity was the best organization
that the farmers had ever had and that
it was for their best interest to join the
society, pool their grain and sell it by
modern methods. The Senator further
said, ''that they must combine or they
would be crushed by the elevator trust. : ;,
James j. Hill said recently at Grand
Forks, 'last year 1 tried the expert
ment of holding my wheat. kept it
at home until after the rush was over.
This gave me time to get my fall work
done. My neighbors who hurried their
mark keting got. about 3 s. G.. l. made
money on the crop by waiting. and |
got my work done. /,
This is the plan of the society, hold
your grain and sell it only as it is need
ed, and by so doing you can secure the
prices fixed by the Fargo Convention

Obituary.

The family of Brother and Sister W.
L. Sumner is broken by the hand of
death.
Little Minnie Lou was born NOvem-
Der l, 1907, and died March Il, 1909;
one year, four months and IL DAYS of
age.
Little Minnie Lou was a sweet child
and loved by all. 1t seems that the
Lord sent her to stay just long enough
for all to learn to love her. Some sweet
day we will meet her where parting is
no more; where there is no sickness OF
death. Father and mother, that viii be
a happy meeting when we gather around
the great White Throne to dwell with
Jesus and relatives and friends forever.
We laid her sweet little body to rest
at Ida Grove church. Rev. A. ]. Futeh
conducted the funeral services.
She Is not dead; the child of your af-
lection,
But gone unto that school where she nc
longer needs our protection.
For Christ himself doth rule.
A FRIEND.

drainage. The earth underneath
the pit and on each side has been
excavated and the water drained
away. Another cement wall Will
be built inside the old pit. This,
Mr.. Wilkie believes, will be water

There is Nothing To 1t

Because E. H. Dewey has had a
party of surveyors in the field in
Long Valley, there has been a per-
sistent rumor that the Dewey road
was to be extended. Mr. Dewey
has denied that such an extension
was contemplated at the present
time, but still the rumor kept grow
ing. Upon his return from a busi-
ness trip to Salt Lake City, this
week. a Leader Herald representa-
tive called upon him and asked for
an authoritive statem-nt if h.
would consent TO give one for pub
LEGATION. Mr.. Dewev replied posi-
lively and unqualifedlv there was
no intention of extending the road
at the present time. To hold the
right of way and comply with the
government requirements he has
had surveyors in the field They
ran preliminary surveys from EN-
nett to Smiths Ferry on both sides
of the river and are now going over
the route making the final survey.
As soon as this is completed the
party will be called in. The fact
that the right of way is held is
evidence that at some time the road
may be extended. but this positive
statement from Mr.. Dewey ought
to put at rest the idea that anything
is contemplated for the immediate
future.

Eight Water Filings Made.

Since the news that the govern
ment will probably relinquish the
Payette end of the Payette- Boise
project became known, eight fill
ings on top of the government fill
ing has been made on water rights
and the dam site at Black canyon
by capitalists ani promoters.
Which shows the change in senti-
ment of moneyed men regarding
irrigation enterprises as profitable
investments. -Four years ago it was
almost necessary to plead for capi-
tai to take hold of such enterprises,
now they are falling over each
other in their eagerness to invest.

Water Users Hire Perky.

The directors of the Canvon
Canal Water Users association
have employed Judge Perky OF
Boise o look after their interests.iu
the Canyon canal controversy. Mr..
Perky was in town Tuesday to con
suit with the board and define their
rights in the matter. While the
association has no desire to harass
the Canyon Canal company, they
are determined to resist any at
tempt to turn tine ditch over until
it has been made strong and sub
stautial and capable of carrying a
sure and sufficient volume of water
to irrigate the lands under it. More
than that, they will demand that
the company make repatriation for
the loss OF crops during the past
st ason because of failure to sup
ply sufficient water. The land
owners contend the time has come
for a show down. either the canal
company must without further de-
lay put the ditch is such condition
as to safely carry the water con-
tracted for or show cause why they
should not forfeit their rights. All
the settlers want is the water they
are entitled to without any danger
of the vexatious delays of the past
two years. and for this they will
firmly contend.

CANTALOUPES-- S--75CARS
Is the Estimate of Shipments
from Emmett.

William Bouldin, alias "Canta.
loupe BILL representative oi
Denny & Co., large commission
house of Chicago, who is superin.
tending the shipment of melons
from the Emmett country estimates
the yield this year for shipment at
rs carloads.
Right around 300 acres were
planted to melons in the spring.
most of which were cantaloupes.
The marketing of the latter will
not be in full swing until next
week, when an average of three
carloads day will be maintained
during the season Local crate
shipments have been made daily
since last Thursday. Every crate
bears the brand of the Emmett
Fruit Growers Association, which
is handling the entire product.
The quality is declared to be per-
feet, and the Fasteners will have
a feast during the next 40 days
such as they have never had before.
If there is any better eating than
a ripe, juicy cantaloupe gown in
Emmett, U. S. A., 1t hasn't shown
up yet.
Some of the ''lope' patches will
yield a carload to the acre. This
is true of Z. G. Dunn's patch. He
has six acres and will snip not less
than six carloads. w. H. Baxla
also has fine showing, the melons
laying in many places three deep
three on the bottom, then two
above, and still another on top of
these. "Cantaloupe Bill'' says it
is the most wonderful sight he
has ever seen and he has been in
the business for 10 these many
years. The Jensen Brothers havs
eight acres literally covered with
the lace covered balls. The same
is true of Pete Refs, who has three
acres o. N, w. l.. and Sollie
Calender, who together have 20I
acres; Charlie Cook, who has FIVE,
and-well there are mighty few
slope farmers who haven't few
acres. The adapability of the En-
NETT soil TO melon culture is mark
ed, and its prodigality is wonder
full.
