MUSTARDPESTNEAR JIMTOWN
of Yellow Peril-Flax Is. looking
Fine and Corn Coming Along in
Good Cultivation Making
Good Progress.

Jamestown, June 30-The worst
feature of the farm landscape, from
an agricultural point of view, is
the yellow mustard which is now in
blossom. Between Jamestown and
Spiritwood lake and in any other d.
rection, for that matter, there are
patches of wild mustard and in some
fields the color fully conceals the
green. Adjoining fields show no
mustard, proving that carelessness in
the matter of seed or neglect of the
proper work and precaution aer re-
sponsible for this pest, which not
only exhausts the land of fertility
that should grow valuable crops, but
causes the farmer loss in dockage of
his grain for dirt at the elevator,
and if he ships he pays freight on
the foul seed, and he also pays the
thresher for threshing 1t. Mustard
is a losing proposition for the farm
which every way it is looked at.
Flax made a fine growth last week
and in some OF the fields it is almost
ready to shade the ground: A good
many fields of corn are being Guilt
waited with the walking cultivator,
the familiar farm pillow in Illinois
and Iowa. North Dakota horses
have not yet become accustomed
to awlking straight between rows
of young corn, and potatoes and so
the education Of the stock is being
made by q boy generally leading the
horse between tn rows while
another person holds the cultivator
handles. Most every field of corn
and potatoes looks exceptionally
we'll and free from weeds. Both of
these crops will be largely increased
in this county this year.

From the passenger department of
the Northern Pacific railway comes a
very attractive booklet under the IT,
tie Of Minnesota Lakes" The
cover is of rich buzz shade with title
in red and black lettering. The cen
trail design. In four colors, shows a
young man and maiden enjoying
hugely the pleasure of a birch bark
canoe on the placid surface Of a
lake. The inside of the book is
pleasantly executed in a soft Sept
atone and the illustrations, of which
there is at least one to every page,
are most excellent. One cannot read
the book without being thoroughly

There has been discussion be-
tween those two eminent authori-
ties on agriculture, Col. Brewer of
the Forum and John Andrews of
the News, as to the possibility of
raising fax fibre in this state suit
able for manufacture into linen,
and the world at large has been
waiting the result Of the truly sci
entific and technical discussion to
see whether North Dakota has or
has not another grand source Of
wealth and possibility. Col. Brewer
has been giving the subject the be-
nefit of mis- discerning observation
during the long summer evenings.
and as a result of his researches de.
clares that North Dakota fax fibre
is great stuff. John Andrews, who
is not colonel like Brewer, but
who nevertheless is some pumpkins
when it comes to agricultural and
kindred subjects, declares that
North Dakota flax fibre Is too short
to be disable in linen manufacture.
and he bases his statement upon the
experience of years and years in tbs
newspaper businss down in Rich
land county, he having been perona-
ally acquainted with many farmers
and having thus acquired a large
and 'copious knowledge of fax fibre
and such. The battle between these
two eminent agronomists has be-
come so fierce that Prof. Bolley of
the State agricultural college, who
is not eminent like the other two
but who has had much to do w.
plant bugs and the like, has leaped
into the breach and drawn the fire
of outsiders in order that the two
chief combatants may be spared to
shed further lustre In the agricul-
tural world, which they both so lus-
trefully adorn.

Continental railway and Its building
operations, from Edgeley to, James
town for an indefinite Tenth Of time.
The railway needs Ripley's land to
complete their right-of-way. Ripley
asks $40 an acre for the land, $4,000
for the crop, and $1,000 for damages
which he he alleges his land will
sustain by reason Of the railroad in
tersecting it. The right-of.way man
was unable to compromise with Rip.
ley and condemnation proceedings
were instituted.
Upon argument Of the issues in.

railway company must show that in
truth and fact they contemplate the
building of a railroad, and must
make a showing of capital and
equipment sufiicient at least to mega
tive the idea of bad faith in com

Row MOODY cor our Or II.

How MOODY GOT OUT OF 1s'
Many were the interesting expert
ences belonging to the first Northfield
conference called by D. L. Moody. One
especially showed Mr.. Moody himself
in his varying phases. 1t was the con-
versation hour at noon, and about 1OO
men were sitting under the tent on
Round Top.
Mr.. Moody, leaning sturdily against
the tent pole, led the meeting. Sudden
~ there came from him the plump
question, Brethren, how many Of you
have so grown in. grace that you can
bear to have your faults told?"
Many hands went up. Quick as a
flash, but neither sharply nor insult
ingly, Mr.. Moody turned to a young
minister and said:
Brother, you have spoken thirteen
times in twelve days here and perhaps
shut out twelve other good men from
speaking"
It was true. The young man had
been presuming and of1cious. He had
held up his hand, but he could not
bear to be chidden, and now he stoutly
defended himself, only making mat
tiers worse. Then another minister
broke forth and berated Mr.. Moody for
his bluntness. The latter blushed, but
listened until the reproof was done.
Then he suggestively covered his face
and spoke through bis fingers, "Breth-
rem, admit the fault my friend
charges me with: but, brethren, I did
not hold up my hand!

Worlds Largest Barometer.


The biggest barometer In the world
is in the city of Faenza, Italy. 1t is q
monument to Torricelli, inventor OF
the barometer, who was born in that
city 800 years ago. The scale Of this
barometer is on a basis of feet where
the ordinary barometer Is measured In
inches. The liquid column Is thirty
seven feet high at normal. 1t was In.
tended to use a thirty.two foot column
Of water, but this was abandoned be-
cause water evaporated too quickly.
Then glycerin was tried, but with this
liquid the normal height was only
twenty seven feet, which was not
enough. Olive oil was chosen finally.
The tube rests against monumental
pillar Of stone. Olive oil II the lightest
liquid yet used for barometer. When
q lighter one In made available taller
barometer may be constructed. Pas
cal made barometers Of water and
wine mixed. Zophar Mills Of New
York made a. glycerin barometer, and

jamestown June 30.-For several
months Henry Schultz Of Cleveland
has noticed that the water in his
we'll was rolled for some strange
cause. s>,.. +@Ss
J. A. Johnston Of Jamestown, was
sent for and Saturday went out to
Investigate. He went down and
found that, 32-pound swapping .tur-
tie had taken possession of the we'll.
The turtle had eaten away the
curbing and excavated a sort of cave
and there he had lived since last. fall
on a straight diet of water for
breakfast, some more for dinner and
then water at night washed down
with a. huge draught of water. That
turtle was strictly temperate in his
diet.
Mr.. Johnston says he is going to
fatten it and have seven different
kinds Of meat when it is served UP.
He brought it to town Monday and
1t attracted considerable attention
when shown and its story told.

Washington, June 3O.-The fight
of land owners in Trail county, N

STARTING OUT WE'LL.

The work Of the Bismarck city
commission, as far as it has prog
ressed and has been reported to the
public, appears to meet with the ap-
prevail of the press of the state that
has been interested in the new
method OF city government, and will
doubtless prove an incentive to other
cities of the state to adopt the plan.
1t is difficult accurately to measure
the merits or dement's Of the COM
mission system from the prelimi-
nary work of few months, but the
businesslike manner in which the
Bismarck commission has gone
about it's work and it's evident pur-
pose to give the city a business
like administration and to treat all
citizens and all interested alike, has
made a generally favorable impress
sion. The Tribune has heretofore
had occasion to observe that no
system of government is automati-
cally good. The best system re-
quires good men to put into opera
ton the wise methods that may be
provided for the administration of
city affairs. But the whole scheme
of the commission system makes
for better government than the old
loOse-jofnted system of government
by a mayor and aldermen. In the
first place, ward lines are done away
with and the corporation is treated
as civic entity-as it should be.
Then there are fewer ohicials, and
each of them is the responsible
head Of a department-any citizen
who wants to make himself heard
upon any subject knows where to
90, and he cannot be shifted about
from man to man or from depart
ment to department until he de-
spairs Of ever getting at the source
Of authority. The regularity and
frequency Of meetings is an i'm.
provement over the old system, and
ought to insure prompt dispatch of
business with any representative
commission.
Bismarck is fortunate in the per-
sonnet Of its commission, which is
representative, and the members of
it are conscientious in their efforts
to give the city wise administra-
ton. We will be better able, of
course, at the end of year to meas
ure results by comparison with
years of former administration.
But the commission and the system
start well, and there is every reason
to believe that the people Of the city
win profit naturally by the change
from the old system.

have. Ine present width of resi-
dence streets in the city is fa1
greater than necessary, and the
widening of the park spaces would
not only beautify the general ap-
pearance of the streets, but would
make so much less street width to
look after and keep in shape. And
there will be no end to the pest OF
weeds along the outer edge of side
walks until the park spaces are lev
eled and seeded and kept moved
and watered. At the present time,
the weeds along most of the streets
have the full and undisputed right
Of growth.
