party without leader in the north
west who is OF presidential calibre,
according to Gov John Burke of
North Dakota, who was an honorary

his way through the crowded streets

why we Are stronger.

y
The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers Of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords. *r
AS a matter of fact we have ath.
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats--that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's matter Of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because 1t is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. II you are convenient

for them the "Gate Of the Rockies" and
guided them in safety the rest Of their
Journey west.
The branch of the Northern Pacific,
which is being built out of Mandan, up
along the Missouri. is following an old
Indian trail which led to the fort and
town is being plated on the spot
where the stockade buildings used to
stand
The road between Mandan and the
townsite abounds in historic interest.
It passes by the remains of several In
dian villages in which the fair skinned
Mandans, the race of tabled white an
cestTy, lived in their houses built Of
mud. and hunted the buffalo. Their
women, reputed The most beautiful Of
aIl the tribes. prepared the soil with
the shoulder blades of buffalos and
raised fields Of corn, beans, squashes
and meIona.

miles TO barter with the fur conpan-
les which established posts under the
protection OF the fort The pOpula-

an epidemic OF smallpox In 1888. The
fort was abandoned a little later and
the place has been given over TO

STATE ". c. I. u.
Is IN SESSION
cANDo UNION 10 LARGEST IN
sTATE--INTEREsTlNo RE-
PORTS OF THE STATE
OFFICERS.

Valley City, N, D., Sept. 24.-Tht
state convention of rhe w. C. T. u

were glad to welcome home after her
several years absence from the state.
The minutes for the state executive
meetings were read and adopted. The
decision to change the present custom
of having both counties and districts
was reached after some discussion.
The habit OF several counties going
together to form district las been
growing and the decision TO redistrict
the state and number the districts
comes as natural result.
An interesting item in one county
presidents report was the account Of
a debate between local doctor who
spoke for prohibition and the county
president of the w. c. r. u. who spoke
for the liquor people. Needless to
add the doctor won the debate.
After the noontide devotionals the
convention adjourned till 1880 p. m.
Afternoon Session.
After the short praise service the
state missionary to the Indians, Miss
Jessie Mckenzie, told most interest
ingly of her work the last year at the
afternoon session. 1t is the first years
work among the Indians. A union has
been started with Mrs. John Butcher,
president, and Mrs. Yellowcorn, Sec
rotary. Miss Mckenzie has covered
sixty miles of the Berthold reserva-
tion, visiting nearly every home in
the territory covered.
Editor Packard Of The Valley city
Times Record was introduced and
spoke very kindly of the w. C. r. U.
work.
Rev. Mr.. Anderson was also intro
duced.

this year. Fargo Scandinavian union
mas raised more money than any
other union in the state. Fargo union
was first in the number of pages Of
literature distributed Cando is first
In membership, Fargo union second |
and Fargo Scandinavian third.
The stale treasurer's report was |
The most favorable for many years. |
There is a balance in every fund, but
.wo, which is most encouraging.
The convention was intersperced
With songs from the new Temperance
'ongster and delightful solo by Miss
Wylie.
Department conferences in the de-
'artments of work among foreign
peaking people, health and heredity
nd rescue work were valuable to all
delegates.

the charge was exploded, striking
Haugen over the right eye tearing
away the top OF his skull and killing
him Instantly. Sheriff HeIey was

GRAIN INSPECTORS
WITH COMMISSION
NEWLY APPOINTED INSPECTORS
n CONFER WITH RAILROAD
BOARD ABOUT NEW
WORK,

Bismarck N, D., Sept. 24.-The
board of railroad commissioners met
at the capitol yesterday, in conjunc-
ton with the grain inspectors ap-
pointed to represent the interests of
the grain producers and shipoers of
the state at the terminal markets at
Duluth, Superior and Minneapolis. Mr..
]. e. Herman, who mas represented the
state at Superior as a member OF the
joint board of inspectors, was pres-
ent, as was II. c. Brown Of Brins-
made, and r. j. Clifford OF Mohall
who were recently appointed BY GOV.
Burke to represent the state on the
Minnesota board of appeals, who are
to divide their time between Duluth
and Minneapolis.
The entire afternoon was devoted to
discussion of the weighing, grading.
docking, mixing and handling OF grain
at the terminals and other matters of
interest to the grain trade.
Mr.. Herman gave the board great
deal Of information relating to the
handling OF grain at the terminal at
Superior, and spoke highly OF the wis

hard, with view Of protecting the
good name Of the North Dakota pro-
duct and the building up of a demand
for the real hard variety Of wheat ma
tive to this state, and which has been
used at some OF the terminals TO mix
with wheat OF inferior grades. In or
der to advance their grades and value
on the market. In order to secure this
new grade, wheat must weigh SO
pounds to the measured bushel, and
contain at least rs per cent Of blue
stem wheat, and must be OF a bright
color and be sweet and clean.
Great Value to State.
The fact that the wisconsin COM
mission has adopted special grad
ing for North Dakota wheat viii
prove to be of great value to the
grain producing class OF the state,
who will be encouraged In the seiec-
ton Of better seed and the propaga-
ton Of a. higher standard Of wheat
and It's maintenance.

and from the interest manifested in
the discussion held in the Office Of the
commission. 1t is safe to predict that
the interests OF the state will be close

representatives at the terminals.

morning, when the matter OF APPROX
