Dairy Commissioner r. F. Flint Of
North Dakota furnishes the following
dairy news from North Dakota:
Creamery reports coming In indi-
cate a heavy per cent of increase in
both patrans and output Of butter.
Some Of the new plants started this
spring report quite remarkable runs,
all things considered. Pastures were
late in getting started and, the cows
being generally in poor condition.
there was not quite as much butter
made in June az there otherwise
would have been, but July will cer-
tainly be q record-breaker for North
Dakota.
The anne conditions that have made
excellent pastures have also given us
very hne promises for a large grain
crop, and if the present promises are
made good there will likely be a heavy
slump during August IN. the cream de-
livered to the creameries. We cannot
expect It to be otherwise az long as
our patrons are 80 much mor inter-
ested in their grain than in the live
stock and the coarser grains that are,
or I must say should be, fed to the
cattle. However. there is considerable
satisfaction in knowing the new pa
irons have had good pastures and ex-
cellent weather conditions for i large
milk flow and fair prices.
Their experience ought to be en-
%couraging for a further trial later on,
orA fhn % ut Hfhof h,,n1rolc ~ -t,nok
farmers have turned thtir thoughts In
harmony with diversified farming,
cows, cream separators and ereamer-
les; means that If they are handled
properly they will continue to beat
time on the bottom of a milk pail and
sing a happier tune both morning and
evening for the balance Of their days.
How we are to keep the patrons
coming during the harvest season and
the factories that receive small runs
open is q serious problem as soon as
grain cutting begins. The number of
acres in grain and the farm force be-
side the hired help are at that time
weighed against the amount of cream
produced and the persuasive ability Of
the buttermaker and because the num-
Der Of COWS are increasing the butter
makers are winning more each year.
Every additional acre Of corn, mil
let, timothy. bronze grass. clover and
alfalfa we can persuade our patrons
to SOW mean more feed, more cows
and more cream, and the creamery
operator can probably do as much in
building up his business by talking
these things as by hammering directly
on the ream can.
The shortness Of the green grass
season where VIZ are dependent alone
on u native grasses, is without doubt
one Of the underlying causes for the
loss of many patrons SO early for II
they had q larger production Of cream
they would stay longer.
We should work to have some tame
grasses in pasture that will grow both
earlier and later in the season. Tim.
othy and clover in the eastern and
timothy, bromus and possibly some al
falfa with them in the western part
will probably be the best we can ad.

There Is STILL
DOUBT AS To IDENTITY
Death Was Caused From stransuis-

Celestial in Whom, It Was Known.
the Young Lady Was Interested.

NEW YORK, June 19-The murder
of Miss Elsie Sigel, a granddaughter
of General Franz Sigel, whose body
was found last night crowded into a
trunk in the room of a chinaman after
she had been strangled to death with
curtain cord, appears to be the most
remarkable case which the New York
police have had to investigate for
many years.
In spite of the fact that the body
has been identified by several per-
sons as that of Miss Sigel. her family
say that the girl is in Washington
She was known to be a friend of Bill
Leon, the chinaman in whose room
her body was found. General Sigel
the grandfather of the girl was one of
the most picturesque characters in the
civil war His troops were largely
made up OF Germans and their early
successes led to a song which opened
as follows:
'T fights nit Sigel in the valley"
A few months later Sigel commanded
the northern forces at the battle of
New Market, Virginia, when the little
fifteen year old cadets of the Virginia
military institute were called out to
help stop the advance of Sigel down
the valley of Virginia, General Lees
principal source of supplies.
The heroism and skill displayed by
the little soldiers in a batIe which
cost many of their lives, but which
they made Southern victory, caused
another line TO be inserted in the
song of the Sigel troops so that it
was made to read, 4 fights nit Sigel
in the valley, I runs nit sigel too"
General Sigel lived to attain the
rank of a major-genera1 and number
ed his friends by the thousand. Many
of the old veterans who fought with
him are today grieved TO learn of the
tragedy here.
That Leon had other correspondents
besides Miss Sigel was discovered
when the police found in his room

stroyed by the earthquake and fire of
April IS, 1906. Calhoun and the other
defendants were accused Of having
paid Ruef, Schmitz and the supervis-
ors 100000 for their services in Sc
curing the permit for the company, and
each indictment was based upon the
money received by one of the super.
visors.
Tirey l.. Ford, general counsel For
the United Railroads, was also impli
Gated by the indictments and was tried
three times. In the first instance a
disagreement resulted, and in two sub
sequent trials, Ford was acquitted.
Ruef's trial upon one of the so-called
trolley indictments began August 27,
1908. There was an interruption of
several days subsequent to Novem-
Der 13, when Francis J. Henev was
shot down in the court. room by an
eX-convict who afterwards committed
suicide in the county Jail. Three vol,
unteer prosecutors then took up the
case, and on December 10, 1908, a jury
returned a verdict of guilty. On De-
cen1ber 30, Ruef was sentenced to "A
years in San Quentin penitentiary and
since then had been confined in the
county Jail, awaiting action on an ap-
peal.
The prosecution, during the several
trolley trials, has attempted to prove
that Calhoun, on the day following
the final passage of the permit, sent
from New York to the mint here 5000.
900, which he previously authorized
the mint officials to pay to Tirev L.
Ford. The money as is admitted,
was Withdrawn in three installments
by Ford, who presented orders signed
by Calhoun. 1t was alleged bv The
prosecution that within a few davs
after each of Ford's visits to the
mint, he received a call from Ruef
Following this assertion, James L.
Gallagher, chairman of the supervis.
ors, testified that Ruef had paid him
over $4,000 in July and an equal
amount in the following month. Cal
lagher said he had retained $4,000 for
himself, and had paid $4,000 to An

MONEY To BE RAISED
BY Big BOND ISSUE
One Fifth of This To Be Used in
Draining Overflow Lands, Amount
ing to 100000 Square Miles, Some of
Which is in Mississippi.

SPOKANE, Wash, June 19.-Arthur
Hooker. secretary of the board of con-
troll of the National Irrigation Con-
gress will present a resolution for ap-
prevail by that organization at it's
seventeenth session in Spokane, Aug
ust 8 to IA, memoralizing congress to
issue 8 per cent. gold bonds, running
100 years, to the amount of $4,000
100000, or as much thereof as may be
necessary, for the following specific
purposes:
One billion dollars for drainage Of
overflow and swamp lands, thus re-
claiming an area equal to 100000
square miles.
One billion dollars for the reclama-
tion by irrigation of.40 100000 acres
Of arid and semi-arid lands, now part
ly or wholly waste.
One billion dollars to construct and
improve deep waterways, to develop
thousands of miles of territory now
without adequate transportation facll-
tiles.
One billion dollars for good roads
and national highways, for the lack of
which the loss to the farm area of the
United States is approximately $780,
0OO OOO oppuo111,
One billion dollars for forest pro-
lection, reforestation aud conservation
of the forest resources, thus assuring
timber and lumber supplies for cent
uries to come.
Five billions of dollars is an enor-
nous sum, but it is no more than is
actually required to carry out the gi-
gantic scheme in developing millions
of acres of lands in various parts of
the United tates now absolutely
worthless" said Mr.. Hooker in ex-
planning the plan. Congress will not
be asked to appropriate a penny. The
returns from the improvements would
pay off the bonds. The government
would simply act as banker, as it does
now for the various irrigation pro.
iects. The bond issue would privode
ample funds as required to carry out
he work in the several divisions. at
The same time giving the best possf
bic collateral to those investing in
.hese securities.
Government figures bear out the
statement that there is enough good

tates there is more than as much
more or about 100000, 900 acres in all.
Vt a conservative estimate of S25 an
ere, the sale of this reclaimed land
would Justify the expenditure of So.
10000, or $50 per cent more than is
equired to drain it. This land would
uppirt from 100000 to 100000 pop
lation.
Approximately 100000 acres of
ands in western and southwestern
tates are adapted to irrigation. which |
reclaimed at an average cost of $25
n acre, would be worth not less than
200 an. acre or a total Of $4,000. 900. |

mates it will have reclaimed 1000.
