nation seeks to put them to the ut
most possible use, but aims to prevent
their destruction. Where timber
can be cut without harm to the forest

given to the public. Grazing rights
are sold or given to the hone maker,

Place Candidates on Record.


Rule is that we con6ne our pledges
to one fol all candidates and an adj
ditlonal one for legislative candidates.
All candidates congressional, legis-
lative, judicial and county, will be
asked to sign this pledge
$50 far as my oath of office will
allow | will he governed in all my
official acts by the will of the majority
of the voters.'
This pledge takes all important de-
cisions away from officials and the
"bunch'' that is often just back of the
officials and puts the final decision
where it rightfully belongs in the
will of the majority. New issues are
constantly coming up and this pledge
covers them better than any specific
pledge could do. Where there is
Grange and Labor Council it is very
easy to determine what public opinion
Island every county should have these
two organizations.
The second pledge additional, for
legislative candidates only is:- Gas

other to ''second' the motion) can Sc

promise that if [ am elected to the
Washington Legislature of 1911, | will
vote to submit to the electors of the
state at the next general election any
constitutional amendment which is
petitioned for by 5000 voteIs.'
This will be better than to have the
Direct Legislation league have
pledge; and the Tax Reform league
have a pledge, and the Grange have
two or three pledges and the Fedora
ton of Labor have several pledges !;
for il there are half a dozen sets of
pledges in the field one candidate will
sign one, and that group will support
him; another candidate will sign an
other and that group will support him
will get the next legislature just as
they have all those in the past.
But if all reformers will unite in
supporting the man who signs this
pledge, and in case several sign the
pledge we will take a vote as to which
shall be the one candidate endorsed
by the Majority Rule League, then
we can easily elect our candidate in
every legislative district and, by
presenting a petition with 3. 600 sigma
lures we can get our bill submitted to
the people. What more can any re-
form organization ask than that its
measure be submitted to the people?
The need of the 5000 petitioners
will keep oat idle and fantastical
amendments; but will not bar any
really important measure.
5000 voters is about per cent of
the voters of the state-and the new
Tacoma charter provides for initiate
measures brought before voters at an
election when supported by per cent
of the voters of the city. No decent
man but will support such a pledge,
and no one can really be sincere in
asking for more.

reform organizations consider these
pledges, make any suggestions deemed

I can now sleep we'll and seldom ever

seemed more than I could bear. Blood
and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails,
and nearly all over my body. My
ears were SO .crusted. and swollen I
was afraid they would break of.
Every hair in my head fell out. I
could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the
pain. My family doctor did all he
could, but I got worse and worse. My
condition was awful. I did not think

come and end my frightful suferings.

MONEY MADE N LIVE STOCK
N CENTRAL CANADA.

w. ]. Henderson, visiting Seattle,
writes the Canadian Government
Agent at Spokane, Wash, and says:
Il have neighbors in Central Canada
raising wheat, barley and oats for the
past 20 years, and are now getting
from the same land 20 to 80 bushels of
wheat per acre, 40 to 60 bushels of
oats.
1T was the first week of May whenI
got my tent pitched, but the farmers
llsaround had finished putting in
their crops, sol only got fifteen acres
broke and seeded. They advised me
as 1t was late not to put in much
wheat, SO I put in five acres of wheat
and ten acres oats, one-half acre pota-
toes and vegetables. All kinds of veg
etables grow well up there. sweet corn,
tomatoes, onions, carrots, peas, beans.
cabbage. My wheat yielded about 20
bushels per acre, for which l got rs
cents, others got 80 cents; oats
threshed IS bushels per acre, for which
I got IS cents per bushel. You see I
was three weeks late in getting them
in, still I was satisfied.
From my observation, there is more
money made in stock, such as cattle,
horses and sheep, as prices are high
for such, and it costs nothing to raise
them, as horses live the year around
out on the grass. In fact, farmers turn
their work horses out for the winter,
and they come in fresh and fat in the
spring. Cattle live out seven or eight
months. They NOW the prairie grass

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. S.-The first
scrimmage over the state fair propo-
sition was fought out today before
the house committee on state affairs.
The discussion was on the bill of
Representative Mckinney of Mclean
county on locating the state fair at
Fargo permanently after this year.
After an animated discussion Repre-
sentative Sorlie moved that the bill
be indefinitely postponed. Mckinney
moved as an amendment that the bill
be reported to pass.
The vote was a tie.
This throws the matter into the
committee of the whole and it will be
fought out in the open house, prob
ably tomorrow.
The Cass county members and sup
porters of the bill are doing some
lively work. Grand Forks is also very
busy, while friends of Devils Lake and
jamestown are cutting in quite
strongly. 1t is an absorbing topic this
afternoon.
A surprise was sprung in the. house
this afternoon when Representative
Duncan of Benson county moved that
the Mayville normal be entirely abol-
ished. 1t is %contended that the Valley
City normal can do the work of that
section of the state and the Mayville
should be removed to some northwest
ern town. The abolition of Mayville
would make an opening for Minot and
Rugby.
There is a lobby of elevator repre-
sentatiyes here to appear before the
senate committee on the bill to pre-
vent discrimination by the elevators
in the purchase of grain. A great deal
of interest is taken in the measure
and elevator people regard it as very
lnimicab1e.

Rumors Revived Of an investigation Of
the Department Of Public
Instruction.

olSLldiCh, e 5.-Iho SkulaS0nt
initiative and referendum bill vase de.
feated in the Legislature this morn
ing by a vote ofs45 to 40.
This result was obtained after one
OF the most heated debates that has
occurred insthe house for years. The
hot air session continued for two
hours. Several speakers made re
marks, but the chief address was By
Representative Martin Of Morton
county. In advocacy of a initiative
and referendum measure that would
reach the constitution, he stated that
the emasculated version as introduced
by Skulason was unsatisfactory.
In his address he attacked M. N.
Johnson, recently elected u. S. n
tor, stating that as a member of the
constitutional convention johnson was
chairman of the committee on cor
.porations- and was responsible for
saddling onto North Dakota more
corporation legislation than any other
man in the state. He wanted an ini-
tiative and referendum that would
reach some of this.
Skulason was on the floor nearly a
dozen times in an effort to explain
some features Of his bill.
All the friends of the LELAND bill
were against the Skulason measure.
No cllncher was put on the killing of
the bill, but that will probably be
done later in the day.
Wolbert of Burleigh made some
sensational remarks during the course
of his short talk. He claimed that for

kept their rooms full of booze and
many of the members were also well
filed up.
