why don't some of you big prohibi-

County what you want? Lots of peo-
pie would vote II they know what
they are voting for. 1t Is true that
you all want to run the dispensary
out? That 10 where the negro and
iaboring class of people get their IL
Quor. II won's do any good to run the

what mean by that Is these club
rooms. But how are you going to get
at the club rooms? The clubs are
made up OF our senators. our lawyers.
our best men. They have the liquor
there and there Is no law I'm the

run the dispensary out the club rooms
Will grow. there will be more club
rooms. there will be more young men

We don't care SO much about these

thing with them and you never will.
What We are after Is the young men.
the rising generation and the protec>

subjects, upon which prominent men
and their respective followers are di-
vided, that the introduction of these
subjects might imperil the success of
the dry farming movement, or at least
injure it, and as a consequence ex-
traneous subjects were avoided and
the purposes of the congress were IN
no way hampered by their discussion
The object of the meeting was strictly
adhered to and the destiny of the
semi Laird regions OF the west was
made the paramount issue all through
the three days deliberation. The dele
gates appeared to be satisfied with the
termined to give their entire atten-
ton to this one purpose and to mind
their own business.
1t is not claimed too much to as
sert that the recent dry farming con-
gress was of great and lasting bene-
fit and left deep impression upon
everyone who attended 1t.
The problem of dry farming-and
the word dry is a misnomer and
should be changed, as it simply means
good progressive advanced or proper
conservation of the soil moisture
lfarming-has come to stay and has
become worldwide in its scope. fol
lit has spread already beyond the con
fines of the great and undeveloped
west until it now includes every ma

object is based upon sound principles
and will continue to attract greater

The First Norwegian Evangelical
lutheran church of Fargo, one of the
leading Scandinavian societies of this
city OF churches, has a membership
of over $50 and owns good piece of
church property at the corner Of Fourth
avenue north and Roberts street
For thirty seven years this church
has been very active i'm this vicinity,
and is one of the pioneer christian or
aanizations to locate at what was
known in those days as the cross
ing - the place where the Northern
Pacific railroad crossed the Red river.
TO this country, then as now, this
church with the other Lutheran bodies
has been most important in religious
advancement, because of the fact hat
it reached the large number of Scan
dinavians who came then and are still
coming to this part of tho country.
on Get 4, 1872. a time when both
Fargo and Moorhead were small VII
lagos of frame and canvass, the Nor
weEian Evangelical Lutheran church
was organized in Moorhead. The in
fIux of pioneer settlers to this part of
the country brought with it a number
of Norwegian people who were MEM
bers of the church. These got together
and formed the society. The church
was Incorporated the same year and
the active raising of funds to erect
a church building commenced. Ir 1873
about a year after the church had been
organized. the place of worship was
completed, the meetings prior to that
time being held in various buildings,
Transferred 10 FARGO.
Services were held in this little
church until 1873. In that year COM
mittee was appointed to look for a
location for the church in Fargo and
in a short time tn preaching was
transferred to the west side of the
river For some time these services
were held in various buildings but were
later transferred to what was known
as Island Park hall, which had been
purchased by the society and fitted up
for church purposes. Here services
were held for two years, or until 1895
when the present edihce was erected
and dedicated.
During the time that the First Nor
weigian Lutheran chur h has been ac-
tive there have cen eight pastors in
charge Of the work. Th3 first preacher

church in Moorhead was Rev. Neils TIL

for years and was followed by Rev.
J. Hellisdveidt who in turn was sue

views of the state OF their adoption.
Why, North Dakota doomed up like the
mountains Of Montana, and we heard
It's merits cxtolled, stepped higher. be-
came more confident and felt that we
were from one of the richest states in
the union. Speakers read western
North Dakota out of the semi -arid belt
and placed 1t alongside of Iowa, Min
nesota, Illinois, Indiana and other
leading central states. One man, who
lives in the semi arid region said. "Out
here we have rs per cent soil and rs
per cent brain and muscle to produce
good crop while with you the ratio
is just the reverse"
What, more than anything else, inn
pressed us, were the lessons we learn
ed about the proper and best methods
for the conservation of the moisture
in the SOIL This was a great and
making this feat@re of successful
lnestimaple value and those who were
farming a study in North Dakota,
stated that they had received many
new ideas which they would utilize in
the near future for tn, benefit of the
farmers.
In the maps used by different
speakers TO uIuSLTaL6s NORM DakOCa
showed but an infinitesimal amount Of
land in the semi-arid district, not
withstanding the labored efforts of
even the department at Washington
to prove otherwise.
The sugar beet industry in Montana
is assuming mammoth proportions,
and is destined to become of greater
Importance and value each succeed
ing year. 1t should have foothold
in North Dakota and man. acres could
be made to produce bountiful crops
that are today bringing in little or
no revenues to their owners
We learned where and how to pro-
cure some better seeds and what
would be best adapted to our soils.
The fact is we have learned to place
greater value Upon our North Dakota
soil, to appreciate the many good
things we possess, much higher esti-
mate of the future of our state and
withal greater confidence in the flu
ture values of our lands.
There we're excellent samples of
seeds, garden products, and a SPLEEN
did display Of grains and grasses. Yet
one of our seed men remarked, These
people display nothing that is superior
