pired term Of the late Gov. johnson. Although

A petition is being circulated

favor of the civil township is that

K. P. Banquet.

Last Friday evening the X. P.
Lodge gave another of their en-
joyable dances and hanquets to
celebrate their forty sixth anniver-
sary. Promptly at nine the
Mandan orchestra commenced to
play the grand march which was
led by Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Carna-
han. The members Of the lodge
followed and:then the other citizens
and visitors. The many move
ments in the grand march was a
pretty sight for the spectators and
the beautiful dresses of the ladies
and the many and flashing new
lights were sight which shall not
soon be forgotten.
At twelve the banquet was
served at the Merchants hotel and
all the six courses were first class
in every detail. The Mandan or
chestra, composed Of FIVE pieces,
played in our city for the first
time on that evening. 1t was a
pleasure to dance to such good
music and they no doubt will soon
have another chance to play in
Washburn. The dance continued
until nearly four, which alone
provedthat the annual was great
success.

Try Diversified Farming.

Jack Salmons is one of the. old
time grain growers of Towner
county who has found it advisable
to change to diversified farming.
It's only a few years since the
farmers were raising twenty-five to
thirty-6ve bushels of wheat per
acre-there was no stock in the
country and no desire on the part
of the farmers to bother with it.
But times are changing and Mr..
Sal,nons is one of the comparative
" few who are keeping abrest of
the procession. For several years
he has turned off from $500 to
81 600 worth Of stock annually,
and last year marketed about $500
worth of hogs. We are not
advised as to how we'll the bust

Good News to Homesteaders.

1t has now been ordered at
Washington that the two hundred
claims which have been held up

of coal, be given to the settlers and
patents will be issued as soon as
possible wherever the lands are
found to be of little value for the
coal deposits.

settler a title to the surface of the
lands and reserves the coal to the
government, is not expected to
pass but one may which gives foil
title to land and all it contains
to the bonafide settler who has
complied with the homestead law.

Entertainment by the School.

The entertainment given last
Monday evening by the children of
the public school was said to be
the best ever given in Washburn.
The program was opened by a
selection by the High School band.
They have been under the leader
ship of Arthur Mandan only few
weeks and have worked hard as
was shown by the way the different
selections were played. A good
band by such young men is an
honor to any town. The play,
Cinderella in Flower Land by the
Primary and intermediate grades
was a decided success. Sadie
Ferguson made demure little
Cinderella and looked quite like a
fairy when she appeared at the
ball as Princess with her two
Butterflies, Wallace Babb and
Rogus Bartch. The part of prince
Sunshine was we'll taken by Roy
Wahl who seemed perfectly at
home on the stage. The proud
sisters, Vivian Ferunm and June
Danielson caused considerable
merriment by their jealous re-
marks about the other flowers who
attended the ball. The minuet
danced by the six little Sunbeams,
all dressed in yellow, was very
pretty and the raindroops too
came in for their share of the
applause.
In the chorus by the school the
splendid voices of Messrs Wilson
and Peterson could be distinctly
heard. Arthur Mandan gave
cornet solo which showed the
excellent training he has had.
The pantomime. Three Lovers,
was given in very clever manner
by the older pupils. Hilda Wahf
as the beautiful daughter. had
considerable trouble with her
three friends William Peterson
Leslie Burgum and Carl johnson
when her parents returned un-
expectidely. All the parts were
we'll taken in the play which went
through without a hitch. .
The teachers deserve credit in
the way the whole program was
staged and managed. The house
was packed by citizens and farmers
living in this vicinity and all were
we'll pleased with the program.

Government Gram Inspection.

Big eleva tor interests in the
west show no signs OF swallowing
willingly the bitter pill, proposed
in the McCumber bill, of federal
inspection of grain, although the
UNITED States recently has lost
heavily in grain exports to Europe
because of the unsatisfactory grade
Bof export grain. The big elevator
houses maintain that federal in
Espection is the wrong prescription
Rland they welcome the prospect
that the present congress may
Erefer the matter to commission
E.'for investigation" It was given,
however, the unqualified COM
Emendation of the senate committee
which looked into the case.
Reasons that bristle with dollar
Esigns were ascribed by Senator
FDolliver for the reluctance of
elevator companies to have the
federal government step in and
establish a uniform system or
grading so that wheat which grad
led No. 2 in Kansas will not get
mo. 3 grade in Kansas City, No. 4
lat Chicago and mo Grade" at
ENew Orleans, and then become No.
II again for export purposes, as it
Eis charged, often now happens
Eunder boards of trades and state
|inspection. The thing awkward
est for elevator men to explain was
the report of the North Dakota
Bankers association that one
Terminal elevator in Minnesota
(which received during three months
|20l, ,267 bushels of No. 4 wheat
ll6,O2l of mo grade" and 59,742
of rejected" shipped only No. l
northern, No. 2, and No. 3, but
had on hand no low grade wheat,
an amount involving sn extra pro-
fit to the elevator of $83.72O.
Commenting on this Senator
Dolliver made the caustic com.
ment: "Anyone acquainted with
the grain trade will know at a
glance that great difference arising
from changing grade from low
grade to two or three grades higher,
whereby all of the lower grades
are entirely lost, could not be pro.
duced by any system Of mixing if
both the inspection in and the
inspection are made by the same
standard" ..
