The Lieht of Faith.

Faith is truly a light in the soul,
but it is a light which only shines
upon duties, and not upon results or
events. 1t tells US what is now to be
done, but it does not tell US what :
to follow, and accordingly it guides
US but a single step at a time, and
when we take that step under the
guidance of faith, we advance directly
into a land of surrounding shadows
and darkness. Like the patriarch
Abraham, we go, not knowing wither
we go, but only that God is with us.
In mans darkness We nevertheless
walk and live in Gods light. A way
o. living blessed and glorious, how
ever mysterious it may be to human
vision. For the Lord God will ell
tighten our darkness"

Wells of Russian tulle are very
much in favor at present, either with

LEUTz HAS SETTLED.
Former Insurance Commissioner
Squares With State---Present One
Nav Do Likewise.

Bismarck, Sept. 1.-Through his at
torney. Colonel Ferdinand Leutz, ex-
commissioner Of insurance, has paid to
the state of North Dakota S875.85, be-
ing the amount named in suit started
by Attorney General Miller for ex-
change fees alleged to have been with
held from the state during his term of
office and when w. C. Gilbreath was
deputy commissioner. 1t is rumored
here that the present insurance COM
missioner, E. c. Cooper, has intimated
to the attorney general that he will,
within few days, pay about $2,100,
this being the amount named in the
suit brought against him for exchange
fees during his last term of office.
The fees are being checked over now,
as it is thought there is slight mis-
take in the amount, not oyer a few
dollars, however.

Old Fighters Were Here.

The forty-sixth anniversary of the
battle of Whitestone hill occurred last
Friday and the commission had hoped
to dedicate the monument on that
date, but owing to delays in shipment,
it will not be unveiled before the mid
die of October.
On this last anniversary about a
dozen survivors of the fight met at
Whitestone and spent a few hours.
They were from South Dakota, Mime
sofa, Iowa and Washington, D. C..
They readily recognized the grounds
that had been selected for park as be-
ing location of the battle. They ex-
pressed great pleasure in the work
that was being done to commemorate
the fight.

He will tell you of the higher institu-
tions of learning; the normal, industrial
and scientific schools, and of the state
university at Grand Forks, with its
enrolment of over 9OG students, seven
colleges and faculty of over 60 pro-
fessors and lecturers; of the Agricul-
tural college at Fargo, where the
latest thoughts in soil tillage and it's
allied industries are made the subjects
of constant study and experimentation.
He will tell you of the rapid develop
ment of the state which is now going
on, and how the public domain subject
to homestead entry is fast melting
away and will soon be a thing of the
past, because of the steady, unceasing
influx of immigrants who are seeking
homes where their families can grow
up to manhood and womanhood with
the fullest opportunities for moral.
mental and physical development. And
everything that he tells you will be
vouched for by accurately complied
statistics, gathered by the state de-
partment of agriculture and labor, be-
cause the commissioner, who is the
moving and directing spirit of this edu-
cational campaign, is firm in his ad-
hesion to the t'show me" idea and rec
ognize the right of the prospective
settler to be furnished with the fullest
and most authentic information con-
cerning state which may some day be
the happy home of himself and his
loved ones.
So to the man, woman or child who
really desires to "see things" as they
actually are in the state which is so
rapidly taking the lead over all others
in the quantity and quality of its ag-
ricultural products, we would advise a
visit to the splendid exhibit from North
Dakota, now to be seen at the fair.
This exhibit has been prepared under
the direct personal supervision of Com
missioner Gilbreath of that state, and
will amply repay YOU for the time you
may spend in examining it.

GLAD REUNION.
Soldiers Who Fought at White
stone Get Together.

In Camp on the Battlefield, Sept. 5,
1909.
Editor Times: l thought you might
like small article for The Times in
regard to our dedication day. Of
course you and 1 hope all know that
the monument had not arrived and con-
sequently was not dedicated. We hope
it will arrive this week, ani the COM
mission has agreed that if it does ar
rive and can be gotten ready any time
before Oct. goth it will be dedicated
this fall.
We were very highly pleased on
Sept. Srd to have with US ten or twelve
Whitestone battle soldiers. They came
from far but none near, one from
Washington, D. G. They all agreed
that we have the right location. They
pointed out the location of the different
parts of Sully's army attack of the In
dian camp, what each part played in
the battle, what took place after the
battle, where our boys were buried.
One poor fellow showed us the spot
where he found his brother the next
morning fastened under his dead horse
with head split open by hatchet.
Three men that were mess-mates, one
sergeant that had not met in over
forty years met here and recognized
each other. 1t was indeed pathetic to
stand by and see these men and listen
to their talk of this battle and their
whole campaign.
1t is now over fifteen years since ]
was appointed by the Dickey County
Veterans and Sons of Veterans Society
to get together the history and the
means to put monument to embellisf
these grounds. l chose Mr.. Northrur
and Mr.. Eaton and they haye been my

Northrup has acted as president and
am highly pleased with what they have
accomplished in my absence since last
December. We owe a great deal tt

N. D. EXHIBIT
GIVEN BOOST
DesMoines Tribune Has Some
Nice Things to Say About
the State Fair.
People of Other States Are
Shown Just What North
Dakota Can Produce.

The following from the Des Moines
Tribune shows that the North Dakota
exhibit is attracting considerable at
tention at the Iowa state fair, being
held at Des Moines:
This is not ghost story, as the title
might seem to suggest, nor yet a pipe
dream, as some cynical skeptic might
be tempted to designate the state
ments which we are about to make.
:'Seejng Things" is the motto which
Commissioner of Agriculture and La
Dor W. c. Gilbreath of the state of
North Dakota has adopted in the cam
paign of education relating to his
states resources and development
His practical application of the motto
consists in compact yet representative
exhibit of the various grains, grasses
and other agricultural products of
North Dakota, with samples of her
coal, cement deposits, brick and other
natural and developed industries.
The commissioner assumes in this
respect that all the people of the
United States, outside of North Da-
kota, are from Missouri, and require to
be shown. He then proceeds to show
them by actual visual demonstration
that his state is making no claim which
she can not back up with irrefutable
and unanswerable proof.
In this exhibit you will find wheat
five feet in length, the heads of which
are plump with kernels of the best
flour-producing grain in the world.
Here you are introduced to the famous
No. 1, of which you have heard sc
much, and you see the grain and stalk
just as it appears in the waving,
golden-hued oceans where it was
grown. There is a sample of oats
which came from a field which aver.
The Oakes times. [volume] (Oakes, N.D.) 1906-current, 1909-09-09

aged Is bushels to the acre, and which
weigh we'll over 40 pounds to the
bushel. There again is barley which
makes the Milwaukee brewer wish
there was no prohibition law in North
Dakota, and that he could locate his
business plant in close proximity to
such perfect growth of the main con-
stituent of his amber-colored product.
The field from which that flax over
there was taken, paid for the land on
which it was grown in one crop. That
black object, which looks like the
mother lode to an arc light carbon
point, is the famous Ignite coal that is
going to make $4,000 square miles of
North Dakota land as valuable as the
anthracite fields of Pennsylvania.
Take hold of it; it won't blacken your
fingers. 1t can be produced at a price
which will give the coal barons a pain
in their pocketbooks when it comes on
the market. Take notice of these
bricks over there, which look as pretty
as shredded wheat biscuit advertise
ment. They are made at town called
Hebron, in Morton county, just west of
the Missouri river, in North Dakota,
which will some day-and very soon
become big manufacturing center be-
cause of the millions of tons of clay
available for making just such bricks
as these. Already this product is in
active and successful competition with
the highest grade eastern made article,
and is in such demand that the plant is
now being doubled in capacity, in the
almost vain hope of keeping up with
the orders that are pouring in. Other
grades of clay found in large quantities
throughout the state are being man
ufactured into the most beautiful and
artistic pottery, and are pronounced by
experts to be the equal of any in the
! world for that purpose. Just look at
those elegant urns and vases and Judge
| for yourself how true this statement is.
AS might be expected from a state
capable of producing such splendid
agricultural products, and possessing
such wealth of mineral resources,
North Dakota is amply provided with
all those other requisites which are
nowadays essential to the highest eco.
nomic and social development. Inquiry
from the attendant in charge of the
exhibit will elicit the fullest informa.
tion covering educational, religious
municipal and other conditions in the
state. From him you learn. of th'
broad-gauge and efficiently managed
school system, with it's rich land gran
