SEEKING SITE Y
FOR BIG ORCHARD
PENNSYLVANIA SPENT SATUR-
DAY HERE STUDYING CONDI-
lTIONS AND is MUCH PLEASED.

Geo. w. Sloop, state horticulture
al expert of Indiana, Penn, was here
Saturday and was looking over the
surrounding valley with a view to
possibly locating here.
He has been engaged for the past
few years instructing the farmers and
orchardists of Pennsylvania in scien-
tific methods of fruit growing, but
has obtained three months leave CT
absence and, as the representative of
eastern men, is touring the north
west in quest of a suitable location
for the establishment of a large or
chard. Before coming here, Mr.
Sloop looked over the Yakima val
ley and Kittitas county. Before re-
turning east he will also visit the
Hood River district.
1.-The conditions and opportunities
for orchardists in this valley are very
favorable" said Mr.. Sloop; ''but
have not as yet made up my mind
as to where the best location for a
large orchard may be had. When I
have finished my trip through the
northwest l shall return to the east,
confer with my hackers and then re-
turn to this country. At that time
shall decide upon a location and es-
tablish an orchard"
In his trip over the valley, Mr.
Sloop lost no opportunities of talk
ing with orchardists and fruit grow
ers, and was able TO give them con-
siderable information of a general
Nature, although not at all familiar
with soil and climatic conditions of
this section.
One great mistake noticed by Mr.
Sloop is the planting of too many
varieties in one orchard. He says
the list should be confined to two or
three of the best varieties. conditions
and markets deciding what these
should be. and these brought to the
highest state of perfection. He says
that only in this way can the best re-
suits be obtained from commercial
orchards.
Mr. Sloop visited the William Tur-
ner orchard and prunei up one tree
as he considered right, and gave

freed by the ice and it is now locked
at the wharf. The boat is full of
water and will need considerable re-
pairs before it is serviceable.

No Wheat Left Here.

The high prices now prevailing
for wheat over the coast affect this
community very little. Most of the
Southside crop was sold last fall, the
growers getting from rs cents to s.
cents. Though the prices now range
from 90 cents to 81, it has but lit

il is said that there are not over

HARRISON IS IN
The LEAD now '
RESIDENTS OF TOWNSHIP TO VOTE ON
INCORPORATION FIGHT IS PRO-
CROSSING MERRlLY.

Ninot, N. D., April 12.-The
fight between the residents of
Harrison township and the coun-
Gil of Minot continues merrily.
The Harrison people have made
the last move by presenting to the
county commissioners q petition
asking that they be allowed to
vote on the question of incorpor-
ating North Minot," the petition
being granted, Under it, unless
action is commenced to head the
movement off, the people will
shortly be engaged in an election
of more than ordinary interest to
Minot.
The council some time since
took action towards having that
portion of Harrison township un-
der dispute being attached to the
city, but a defect in the proceed
ings made it necessary to COM
mence over again, and it was at
this juncture that the Harrison
people filed their petition.

John Lehnert of Howard, S. D.
was in the city last week looking
up the proposition of putting in q
butter factory. When here he
stated that he would not think of
starting with less than one hum
dred cows. The secretary of the
Commercial club has been busy
for several days gathering statis-
tics as to the number of cows
within reasonable distance of
Williston and finds that there are
great many more than the num-
ber Mr.. Lehnert wanted before he
would open up the factory. With
this showing the chances are that
Mr.. Lehnert will locate here.

Washington, April 10.-State
Senator E. S. Neal of Garrison,
N. d., is in Washington fostering
= movement for an appointment
of All army engineer at Sioux

of the upper Missouri river. The
Iowa and North Dakota congress
sional delegations already have
been enlisted in support of the
proposed change.
The charge is made that the in
terests of the upper river are be-

of the narrow views entertained
by the army engineers at Kansas

In proof of this statement zig.
ures are produced showing that

G. w. Jennison, president of
the Rugby Milling Company, who
has been in the city several times
sizing up the prospect for flour
mill, was here again last week and
stated that he had decided to

right of way and he went east the
latter part of the week to make
arrangements with the railrood Of
ficials regarding the location of
the mill and a side track. He
stated that just as soon as he
could make satisfactory arrange
ments with the road he would
start work on the foundation. Mr..
Jennison expects to have the mill
built and machinery installed in

McCUMBER FIGHTS
FOR NORTHWEST
THREATENS TO BRING IN MINORITY Re,
PORT UNLESS LEClSL ALTON HELPS
N.D-RAEE BARLEY TARIFF.

Washington, April 9.-There is
good authority for the statement
that the senate draft of the Payne
tariff bill will raise the tariff on
barley from Is to 80 cents. Sen
ator McCumber is said to be back
of the change. The statement
was also made that unless the sen
ate finance committee restores
hides on the dutiable list and re-
moves the tariff from lumber,
that Senator McCumber will bring
in a minority report on the bill.
It is conceded that the leaders in
the senate will be willing to 60 al
most any limit to prevent the til-
ing of minority report by repub-
lican members of the committee.
Determined to keep his promise
to the rank and file of the repub-
lican party of the northwest, and
by the means which he succeeded
in securing the adoption of the
rule governing the amendments to
the Payne tariff bill. Chairman
Payne today brought in a COM
mittee amendment raising the du-
ty on barley to "a cents and bar
lev malt to 40 cents per bushel. 1t
will be remembered that individu-
al attempts to raise the tariff in
these particulars failed.
The Payne amendment will be
offered late in the afternoon and
indications are that the vote will
be close one.
Both North Dakota and Mime
sofa are vitality affected; the for
mer produces $4,000, 900 bushels
of barley yearly, while the latter
raises 80, 900, 900 bushels.

GREAT NORTHERN CALLS
FOR BIDS ON new DEPOT
PLANS FOR new WLIETON DEPOT ARE READY---C0N-
TRACTORS RE EQUESTED TO SUBMIT BlDS-C00D
WORK OF THF COMMERCIAL CLUB.

Plans for a new depot for Will
liston are out and contractors have
been asked to submit bids at an
early date. The plans call for a
depot similar to the new one
built at Minot a few years ago
and which is one of the best in the
state. 1t is reported that the
Great Northers expects to get the
work started in July or August.
The early start which the road
will make on the depot is due al
most entirely to the Commercial
club. The road was unable to
get any satisfactory terms on the
land wanted along the right of
way before the depot wonld be
located where the old one now
stands. The Commercial club
took up the propositions and with
in a few weeks had every thing
arranged. The road sent a repre-
sentative here who closed up all
the deals and secured title to all
the land in blocks twenty -one and
twenty-five. It was understood
that if the road could secure this
property they would build the
new depot at the foot of Main
street where the old depot now
stands, or little nearer the city.
This is the best location as re-
cards the interests of the road and
Williston, and the Commercial
club deserves great credit for its
good work in getting the necessa'
~ property at prices satisfactory
to the railroad.

INTENSIVE FARMING
FOR WlLLIST0N
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, an
N0UNCES THAT DAIRYlNG, HOG RAISING AND
POTATO GROWING BEST FOR N D.

Getting at the Root Of the Question.
Everybody wants the Aarmer to
prosper. The farmers business is SO
fundamental to all other occupations
that when he prospers everybody else
aoes The close relation of agricul-
tural conditions to state and national
welfare was clearly recognized in the
appointments of the Country Life
Commission by President Roosevelt.
The appointment of the commission
meant two things: That the nation
needs prosperous agriculture, and,
second, that agriculture is not now
sufficiently prosperous. To this last
point we in North Dakota may feel
IKE taking exception, but North Da-
kota is in her early prime and the
causes that have operated in other
states upon agriculture have not had
time to produce the i'll effects seen in
some of the other and more exhaust
ed parts of the country. .-.
The paramount question with the
citizens of North Dakota of whatever
occupation is the proper husbandry
of the states natural resources. What
ever educational, social, civic and in.
dustrial improvement may further
this end is to be sought without un-
due delay.
It is being realized as never before
that the way to get at the question
of country life and country prosperity
is through the schools. BY instruction

VOTE ON SCHOOL
BONDS SATURDAY
ELECTION FOR VOTING SCHOOL BONDS
CALLED FOR SA1URDAY---CITI-
zENS SHOULD ALL VOTE.

On Saturday next all those eli
gible to vote at school elections
will have the opportunity of vot-
ing on the bonds for new school
building. The election will be
held in the high school building
and the polls will be open from
ten in the morning until FIVE in
the afternoon. The proposed
building is an eight-room one and
the Graphic believes that if the
voters give the subject careful
consideration they will come to
the conclusion that anything
smaller would be a big mistake.
The school board stndied the ques-
tion very carefully before they
decided upon the size of the build
ing. At first they thought four
room building would do but as
they looked up the facts and fig
ures they came to the conclusion
that four-room building would
not give the proper amount of
room. At the present time our
school building is filled from base
ment to garret. Two rooms are
in use in the basement and three
in the garrett. If the children are
taken out of the basement, and we
believe that everyone will admit
that it is poor place at the best
for children, then we will have to
have something larger than a four
room building. BY taking the
children out of the basement five
rooms can be used next fall. If
we are going to have a BIGGER
WILLISTON''' would it not be
we'll for US to build a school
building to meet the needs next
year as we'll as this. The western
part of the city has made the
most rapid growth during the
past two years and that part of the
city alone will fill an eight room
building inside of two or three
years. Then if we need more
room build another building to
meet the demand in what ever
section of the town needs it. 9th
er growing towns in the state have
been up against the school propo-
sition and in great many instan-
ces have built small buildings, and
are sorry for it. Voters, it is up
to you to say what shall be done
regarding this school, and the re-
sponsibility will be yours. The
school question is one of the most
important upon which we are
called upon to vote and every citi-
zen should 60 to the polls Satur-
day, and when voting, remember
that there is nothing too good for
Young America"

the principles of science to produc-

The prosperity Of this state next

that of all productive forces know

The particular problem with which
the Agricultural College is wrestling
is to diffuse as widely as possible
those parts of science that mean
most to the people of the state, es-
pecially those engaged in agricultural
pursuits. To this end provision has
been made for closer connections
with the public schools. In schools
which, surrounded by farmers and
farming, have nothing to do with ag-

courses designed to further the real
interests of the community On
