New York, is to be retired from
the secretaryship Of the United
States senate, has assumed much
Importance to the northwest.
There has been much discussion
relative to this office in view Of
the fact that if Bennett does not
continue to hold it, efforts may be
made to give it to Senator Hans
brough, who will retire from the
senate March 4.

pressed as the most available man
for the place, because through long

Equity Aids the Farmers

The great work done by the
American Society Of Equity
during the last two years, as a
result o. which the wheat grower
has reaped bigger harvest from
the advance in price than he has
in the past from growing the grain.
The wheat grower has been taught
that organization means for him
a fair wage, interest on his invest
ment and protection against fraud.
Great activity is now being
shown by the American Sooiety.of
Equity, and "a thorough and Wig
orous campaign of the three states
is now being inaugurated. Able
speakers are being put in the field.
every town in the three states will
be organized, and the farmers will
be shown their economic strength,
the dependence of the entire world
on them, and that they are the
masters and not slaves.
That the board of trade man
must go, that the farmer will make
the price Of his product and not
parasites. Every intelligent man,
knows that stock exchanges a4..i
boards of trade feed on the toll of
the producer without giving any
return for it, and is therefore q
public enemy. Speculations causes
losses alike to the producer and
consumer. and it is to stop all Of
this that the Society of Equity il
working for.

session of the Govern
ment for Disposal.

Washington, ID. c., January 25.
The house committee on public
lands has practically reached an
agreement on the bill introduced
by Representative Marshall OF
North Dakota, by which settlers
on lands reserved for coal may get
patents. The bill presented by
Mr.. Marshall had the Endorsement
of tie interior department, and
provided that settlers should get
a patent for the surface only
leaving the underlying coal in
possession Of the government for
disposal.
As agreed upon in committee
largely upon the insistence Of Rep
resentatives Volstead of Mime
sofa and Gronna of North Dakota,
the patent to be issued is to in
clude all of the land with the coal
reserved for future disposal, and
the settler is given the preference
right to purchase it.
1t is expected that the bi Il vii
be reported to the house this week,
and an effort will be made to push
it through before adjournment, as
many settlers in the west occupy
ing lands held in reserve because
Of coal underlying them, cannot

sit is the result of q vast amount
of work. It is arranged in such a
manner that anyone can under
stand it who can read and it will
be of great benefit to people
purchasing land, as they can see
at glance approximately what
kind of soil can be expected, what
it will grow and its geology
The map will be printed as soon
as Professor Willard corrects a
few mistakes in the proof and
sends it to the engravers at Chi
cago. It has the distinction of
being the first statewide soil map
ever printed showing to such detail
the character of the land in all
sections. B.
It will be about 2x3 feet wide,
and will show in colors the various
kinds Of soils which are to be
found within the boundary of the
state. This will be accompanied
by a key which will show exactly
the kind of soil each color repre-
seuts, give it's geology and tell what
kinds of crops will grow best upon
it. There are twenty-seven kinds
of soil shown. In this way it will
be of great value to the former as
we'll as the new settler who can
look at this map and get a general
idea of the value Of land in any
part of the state.
Aside from this useful applica-
tion it is also highly interesting to
look at and study. especially to
one interested in geology, for the
picture made by the various soils
give evidence Of the, great forces
which have been at work in times
past. Plainly shown is the outline
of the Altamont moraine and the
shores Of Lake Agassiz which for
merly covered the eastern portion
of the state. The former shores of
this lake, are plainly defined by
long narrow strips Of beach sand
extending north and south, some
times almost half way across the
state. This sand was deposited at
the breaker line where the sand
during ages Of washing had been
piled up. Sometimes there are

Presnming that it might interest
my numerous friends and acquain-

my doings since I left that part of
the country, / will hereby send
you all greeting by the termis-
sion of the editor of the Leader.
Since | left Washburn last
summer, / have travelled quite .ex-
tensively. In the first place 1
made lecturing tour through a
great part of North Dakota and
Minnesota, and I can say that l
was quite successful both with
my lectures and selling my
books which were published by
the Leader. After that I sailed
for Europe. I visited England and
Denmark on my way home.
London was a great sight. At
present I am staying at my old
homestead in. '.the land of the

"A short while ago I visited
Christiania, the metropolis of
Norway and stayed there about
three weeks. During my stay
there I had the honor of making
the acquaintance of the famous
preacher, Albert Lunde, who has
also been in America a while. he
is, l, believe, the most prominent
religious orator in this country to-
day. I attended several of his
meetings ana mad also the privilege
to speak at one of them.
I have. been real busy since ]
reached here. I have had 90 many
invitations TO speak at different
places that I have not been able
to accept them all. I have also
done considerable writing for
newspapers in this country.
A am now planning trip.

dition Of the country and customs
