WOULD CHECK LIVE
STOCK DISEASES
LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD WILL
CONTINUE ITS WAR ON DISEASES
OF LIVE STOCK IN n. D.

With the increased appropria-
tion secured from the state the
N. d. live stock sanitary. board
will be able to carry on the work
better the next two years than
during the past two years, accord
ing to andrew Veitch, who is a
member of the board. The expe-
rience of the past will be useful.
The board will keep up the
fight to wipe out glanders in
horses" said Mr.. Veitch in speak
ing of the work of the board. In
two years it was necessary to kill
1,4OO head. This cost the state
$40, 900 because the owners are
allowed $50 per head. This amount
is a great help to the farmer who
may have had all his horses killed.
The greatest difficulty we have
to contend with has been the row.
ing element who come to North
Dakota during the summer and
fall season with horses to use in
haying and threshing. Often they
bring with them horses afflicted
with glanders and the horses of
an entire neighborhood become af-
1icted. In hundreds of cases re-
ported in the last two years the
disease has been traced to horses
driven into the state. Some Sec
tions of Michigan, Wisconsin, and
Iowa are very careless about look
ing after glandered horses. In
the woods whole bands of horses
become afflicted. Rather than
risk getting them killed if he re-
turns to a locality where the rules
are strict the owner drives them to
the west and sells them as soon as
possible. y
This year Minnesota promises
to look after the sanitary regula-
tions more carefully, and there
will be less chance for the CLAN
dered horses to reach North Dako-
to. South Dakota and Montana
are also on the lookout.

&c.. INJURY.

Dickinson, N. d., April g.
Struck on the head by a brick
which had gathered terrific speed
by falling four stories, 0. r.
Bauski, laborer employed on the
new elevator of the Missouri Val
ley Milling company, coolly.
walked over half mile to the Of
fee of DR.. Fisher to have his in
juries attended to.
Bespattered with blood, the man
casually strolled into the doctors
office and said in a matter of fact
way that he had been hit on the
head. The force was so great
that hair was driven deep into the
wound.
Bauski was working near the
wall of the elevator when he
heard a cry from above ''look
out.'' Had he looked to see what
was the matter he would have. re-
ceived the brick in his face, dis
figuring him for life. He did not
have time to look up, however,
for the moment he heard the cTy

OWNER IDENTIFIED
The STOLEN HORSES
han ARRESTED IN MlNOT BELIEVED TO
Be ONE OF BAND OF HORSE
THIEVES.

Minot, N. D., April st looks
as if Sheriff Sorenson got the
right man when he placed William
Lambert Barr Duff under arrest
on suspicion of being a horse
thief.
Mr.. Brown of Moose Jaw, Can
Ada, owner of the horses, who ar
rived in Minot on 1O8 this morn
ing, identified the horses and para
phernalia as his own, and in all
probability Mr.. Duff will be
charged on the grave charge of
stealing horses.
Brown arrived in the city in
company with Sergt. Mundy of
Regina, who requested Sheriff
Sorenson to be on the lookout for
the horses. Mr.. Sorenson, assist
ed by Deputy Dick Steinofer, who
is gaining q reputation as q most
efficient sleuth, got busy immedi-
ately, with the result that the
horses were located in Sco6eld's
livery barn.
The horses and saddle belong to
Mr.. Brown, but the buggy and
harness belong to someone else.
The officials have not yet Alscer-
tai6ed who these belong to.

STOPPED WORK
ON MOUSE RIVER
DRAINAGE BOARDS OF McBENRY AND
BOT1lNEAU ARE TEMPORARILY
RESTRAINED.

Before Judge c. F. Templeton
of Grand Forks on April 10, the
drainage boards of McHenry and
Bottineau counties must show
cause why they should not forever
be enjoined from proceeding with
the construction of a great drain
age ditch which had been planned
and which would change the
course of the Mouse river. The
ditch as planned, would extend 38
miles through the counties named
and ten miles into Manitoba.
The action in the case is brought
by George Freeman who asserts
among other things, that the act
of ditching into Manitoba is not
in accordance with the North Da-
kota laws. The opposition is
backed by many taxpayers who
claim the expense is rather heavy
on some for the amount of benefit
they will receive. It has been es-
timated that the total cost of the
improvement would be $40, 900,
but a larger amount of land would
be reclaimed.
It had been planned to let the
contract last week but the tenn
,porary injunction granted by
Judge A. G. Burr will prevent
this action.

PRESIDENT TAFT
WlTHDRAWS LAND
NORTH DAKOTA MINERAL LANDS RE,
STORED TO PUBLIC DOMAIN FOR
SETTLEMENT.

Washington, Apr. 2-The first
instance of the law policy that is
to govern the general land Office
under President Taft and Secreta-
ry of the Interior Ballinger was
given today when, by recommen-
dation of the secretary, President
Taft revoked an executive order
ISSUED by President Roosevelt in
1906, under which 1866, 900 acres
of land in North Dakota had been
withdrawn from entry.
The land was withdrawn from
all forms of entry following re-
port that it contained Ignite coal
and that a combination of inter-
ests was trying to get monopoly
of the supply.
The restoration of these lands to
the public domain will permit en-
tries to be made under the general
laws applicable to that area. A
statement given out by Secretary
Ballinger today says that as the
lands are agricultural in character
they may be entered under home
stead laws; if valuable because of
workable deposits of coal they
may be entered under the coal
land laws.
This order restores several
townships in this district but there
is but little of this land left to file
upon. The, most of it is settled
and a great many proofs were
submitted but were rejected owing
to the withdrawal of the land for
coal. The following townships
are restored and parties having
submitted proof on land in any Of
these townships will be able to
get their patent in short time.
Township 149n, Range 102w,
Township $50, Range 1O1,
Township 151, Range 100,
Township 1855, Range 81.
The land still withdrawn is en-
braced in the following townships:
Township 152, Range SO,
Township 153, Range 98-99-1OO.
Township 154, Range 7-10O-101
Township 155, Range 10O-1O1.

Colorado. AT Eaton, a lamb breeding
center, / saw hay that cost SO to
SIS per ton being hauled in to supply
local needs. A few years ago lambs
we're fed Of necessity in that neigh
bOrhood to market a surplus hay
crop and feeders congratulated them
selves when they secured around
$3.50 per ton in that way. One rea-
son why Colorado is curtailing it's
mutton finishing operations is the
advance in hay. Thousands Of acres
formerly in alfalfa are being devoted
to beets and other crops requiring
intensive cultivation and returning
larger sums per acre. Colorado is
no longer a hay country in the sense
that it was a few years back.
Nor is there an immediate prob
ability Of a serious expansion in beef
making on hay. One reason is the
high price OF range cattle at the mar
kets for months past. These prices
have drawn the cattle, for even with
a collection of hay stacks there was
no incentive TO hold steers back for
a winter finish on hay when such
satisfactory returns were being made
by commission men. My opinion is
that hay feeding in the Northwest
win not expand with sufficient rapid
ity TO keep pace with rapidly de-
yeloping Pacific coast demand. The
productive capacity of the state of
Montana. so far as beef is concerned,
win very probably be taxed TO sup
ply Puget sound markets during the
next decade

This, no doubt, correctly inter. preted means neither mineral nor timber lands. All lands except the last referred, whether desert in it's strictest sense or lands produc- ing wild grass and even land cov- cred by timber falls within the scope and meaning to be embraced within the act The law clearly intending that such lands should be listed and thrown open for set clement. Should there have been any intent of the law to exclude or reject settlement on agricultural land there would have been special proviso to that effect so that to put any other construction on the law raises several questions. The first being as to the question of the general policy of the govern ment towards the settlement of these lands. What has the govern ment been doing since the enact-' ment of the Homestead law, the Pre- emption law, the Desert Act, and last but not by any means the least the Mandell Act? All of these are clean cut laws in no way, shape or form throwing Instructions in the way of citizens and even foreign CTS who have declared their inten- tions to become citizens, from ap- propriating these or any of these lands under some one of these acts.
 Now comes the government along at this stage of our civilization and places law in the hands of a set of employees who see fit to mis- interpret and obstruct by hinder ing and delaying and harrassing actual settlers in good faith.
