ARMY AND NAVY JOURNAL CON
TRAsTs EFFICIENCY OF NORTH
DAKOTA TROOPS WITH THOSE

CREDIT. -,

Army and Navy Journal: While a
rebuke was given by Lieut.. Col. Lea
Febiger, 3rd U. s. Inf. inspector gen.
eral at the camp Of instruction at
American Lake, Wash, to the state
authorities of Idaho, for the I'd Regi-
ment's lack of sufficient and proper
equipment and confusion regarding
tentage, it might have done no harm
II his words had been stronger. Much
of the tentage was picked up en- route
by the last two companies to arrive,
the others having to wait for it, ar
irving in camp with none.
Colonel Febiger wisely blamed the
state officials, rather than the regi-
mental officers, for the wofeul exhibit
ton made by the organization, all the
more striking because regiment in
nearby state, the LIST Regiment of
North Dakota, taking part in the same
maneuvers, is classed in the report
Of the inspector general as having
little or nothing to criticise.'
Idaho and North Dakota each has
only one regiment, of approximately
the same strength. One is a model of
efficiency, the other the opposite. If
these joint camps of instruction did
no other good, they would be of in
valuable sevice in placing the state
troops under the critical eyes of army
officers, who have no axes to grind in
state politics and who can give an i'm
partial, honest report, holding up to
public condemnation those who are
responsible for defects in the state
military systems.

REASON FOR OPPOSITION on

Ashley, N. D., Feb. Especial Tri:
bune correspondence-One cam hell
wonder what Tracy Bangs ct al woulo
do should they chance to remember
that we are not living in the 18th cen
fury but in the illustrious Goth and that
the danger of outstanding North Da-
kota is rather less than that of Amer
icanizing Turkey.
Thomas Jefferson stood in the very
| forefront of the progress of his age and
it is impossible to believe he would be
a laggard today:
The proposed measure does not con-
fer "arbitrary' power on the chief ex-
ecutive but safely balanced by a board
of three or more who shall examine and
pass on all cases Of complaint.
The Hon. States Attorneys were
good enough to remind us that "there
are now statutes providing method
whereby officers who are negligent of
duty may be brought to account" And
this is the most irrefragable argument
in favor of the proposed measure.
Without such executive power as is
provided for in the bill, those statutes
will be, as they have always been, a
dead letter. 1t is very. remarkable that
any should oppose such a measure since
the officer who faithfully performs his
duty has abso lute1y nothing to fear
from this bill. 1t is in fact a protec-
ton to the faithful officer, as it re-
lieves him of the imputation of personal
prejudice in the discharge of his duties.
Of course if Tracy or any other Of
ficer has some 3'deal' on, Something
up his sleeve" if there is Something
rotten in Denmark" then of course OBJ
lection to this measure is easy to I'M
Observation-Disclosures there is not the
shadow of an excuse why this measure
should not receive the unanimous sup
port of both branches of the legislature
and become law. More than any
other proposed legislation this is the
peoples measure. It is very dive wire
and is heavily charged. The people are
expecting it they want it and Sc.

IT WAS DELIGHTFUL.

The sociable given at Bakers hall
Wednesday night by the Ladies' Guild
was largely attended, in fact, the hall
could scarcely have held more people,
which testified to the certainty OF the
guests that a charming time was in
store for all who attended. And they
were not mistaken. Whist was the
amusement of<the evening, thirty ia.
bles being played, and some attractive
prizes awarded. The refreshments
were elegant, as might be expected,
and the iexchequer OF the Guild was
largely augmented. :. Ill Il r. =. 80. e..

BIENNIEL REPORT OF T. r. At.
kiNsoN OF SPECIAL INTER-
EST TO LAND. OWNERS
MUCH WORK DONE BY DEPART
MENT IN AID OF IRRIGATION
AND DRAINAGE.

State Engineer Atkinson's report
for the biennial period beginning Sep
TENDER 80, 1906, and ending Septen-
Der 80, 1908, has been received from
the printer and gives much valuable
information relative to the water re-
sources and irrigajble lands of tn.
state. The experience of the past
ten years has proven that with nor
NAL rainfall and its proper distribu.
ton during the growing season, a
crop failure in the western part Of the
state Is impossible and experience
has ais taught US that with a supply
of water at hand which can be applied
intelligently' at the proper time a
crop exceeding that grown by dry
farming, will be obtained, by a yield
of more than two to three hundred
percent.
The state engineers Office has made
plans and specifications for the con-
struction of drains in the counties Of
Steele, Cavalier, McHenry and Bot
tineau during the past year and it
Is expected that a great deal of work
will be done along this line in the
future.
Under the provisions of the law,
the state engineer is ex-oficio coal
mine inspector and when requested
bv the board of university and schools
by the board of university and school
lands makes examinations of the pub
lie lands of the state, to determine
whether or not they are undertake
with coal. During the past year
large number of mines have been
visited by an assistant in the Office
and nearly one hundred sections of
land have been examined for traces
of coal.
The Office furnished an assistant to
aid the farmers under the Williston
irrigation project in the laying out
of lateral bitches and, their construc-
ton and the Office has co:operated
with the officers of the government
reclamation service in the examina-
ton of proposed irrigation projects
and with the bureau OF forestry in
the promotion of a forest reserve in
the bad lands in the western portion
of the state. /
Surveys and calculations have been
made for seven new irrigation pro-
jects and it is expected that the farm
ers and land owners in the territoryi
which may be identified, will soon
form wtaer associations and reap the
benefit of the waters which may be |
stored or pumped at minimum charge. |
"A very interesting article is includ- |
ed in the report by E. F. Chandler,
entitled, "The Relation Between the
Rainfall and Streamflow in North Da- /
kota," and much othe valuable infor. |!
nation is given in the report, which
should be in the hands Of every land
owner in the state. - ~. <':' !
