A trip to Minot, Williston and
other sections in the northwestern
part of the state is revelation to a
,iweller in other parts of North Da-
kota. Although now well settled,
with prosperous cities and towns
Astounding. that region is new even
when comparedwith a section not old
er than Emmons county. And every
whore the stranger finds that spirit
of enterprise and genuine hospitah-
ty that prevails throughout t he New
Northwest. North Dakota is so
new as the ages of states are con-
sidered that few of its people, and
those mostly professional travelling
men. know how great it really is
what vast area of cultivable land
it contains how universally pros
porous the inhabitants Of all its parts
appear, and. in spite of temporary
drawbacks that in some form or
other occasionally appear in all agri-
cultural states, how certain it is that
the man who sticks to his home here
will have competence for his de-
clining wears.
One of the great sights the editors
saw on their trip was the irrigation
plant near Williston, which is now
in operation. The crops there un-
der irrigation are simply immense.
And the time will come when every
acre in North Dakota to which the
water of stream can be profitably
taken whether it be the Missouri
river or creeks like our own Beaver
Will have the benefits If a sure
supply, thus adding to the annual
output and aggregate wealth of the

The editors of the Linton news
papers returned Monday from Will
liston, where the editorial association
Of North Dakota was entertained by
the people of that city last Friday
and Saturday. They went from Lin
ton to Valley City by the N. r., the
connections by the Bismarck -Mnot
branch Of the 500 being such that
much better time could be made by
taking the longer route. At Valley
City they took the 500 for Minot,
and went from Minot to Williston
by the Great Northern.
About two hundred and fifty
members of the state press were
present, and they were accompanied
by about one hundred and fifty lady
members of thier families. 1t was
certainly themost satisfactory meet
ing of the association that has vet
been held. Every railroad in the
state furnished free transportation
to the members and their wives, and
the people of Williston supplements
ed the liberal spirit Of the rail
way companies by making it al
most impossible for their visitors TO
spend a cent.
Members as they arrived at Willis
ton were met by the committee of
reception, or member thereof.
hustled into an automobile and taken
to free quarters either at one of the
hotels or at private residence
Practically every resident of Willis
ton had placed his auto at the dis
posal Of the committee, and any one
wearing the editorial badge who
wanted to visit point of interest in
town or in the contiguous country
had only to make his wish known
and ne was soon being whirled away

Besides the business sessions of
the association, the features were a
barbecue of the genuine old southern
style. with roast steers and the usual
vegetable accompaniment, served
at tables out of doors in a public
place: trip by auto to the great
irrigation project near the city.a
grand ball Friday night, and the
splendid banquet of Saturday night
This banquet is said to have been
the most successful of its kind ever
held in the state, both from the total
of people in attendance. the large
number of ladies present, and
from the wisdom and flow soul

ANNUAL REPORT IF COUNTY CLERK
 ISSUED
Much Information for Citi zen Contained in Hand
 some Booklet

Information to the taxpayers and to the general public as well is dispensed in the proverbial nutshell, in an annual report of the clerk of Gila county board of supervisors, which has just been issued from data compiled by Clerk J. w. Wentworth of the county board.
 This booklet, an attractive twenty page publication from the Silver Belt press, is brim full of valuable infor- nation from cover to cover. Not only does it contain the reports of all of the county officers who handle funds during the year, but additional data as well is furnished.
 Here are some of the articles of infor- nation dispensed by the publications: Financial condition of Gila county for 1909, tax rate for 1909, report of the county treasurer showing debts and credits for the year, treasurer s report of moneys on hand at the end of the year, report of the recorder s office for the year, county licenses received by the sheriff for the year, claims allowed by the board of supervisors for the diff ferent county offices for the year, show ing the expenses of the county for the year, school tax receipts, school statis- ties, list of road overseers and justices of the peace, list of county officials and miscellaneous information, concern ing the awarding of county contracts, payment of bounties, etc.
 Compared with similar publications which have been issued by other coun- ties in the territory, MT. Wentworth s | report is more than favorable, both as to the data supplied and in the manner in which the publication is edited and arranged.
 Within the next few days, copies of this report will be mailed to every | tax payer in the county.

 ploring Grimes

NEW YORK, February 12.-The let ter which the late II. O. Havemeyer, then president of the American Sugar Refining company, wrote to Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou, offering the services of his company in the govern ment's investigation, today was admit ted as evidence in the trial of Charles K. Heike, secretary of the company.
 Heike made special plea to the charges of conspiracy to mderweigh sugar, claiming amnesty because he tes' tified before the grand jury regarding matters covered in the indictment against him.
 The letter, in substance, said the American Sugar Refining company had just learned of the charges and that evidence had been discovered and that the government was investigating.
 ''The government cannot be more anxious to get at the truth than is the company, the letter read.
 Then it went on with an offer of the books and records, and every assistance in the investigation, because "therC was no desire to shield any employe who might be found guilty of doing wrong. st&I
 It was said furtler that the com pany was ready to cooperate with tho government investigation into the al legged funds In any event the com pany, it was stated, proposed to con duet an investigation on it's own part and promised that the results would be as full revelation of the truth as the government could find itself.

 Writing January 2l, Peary said:

 Replying February 9, Scott, at the head of the British expedition, said he was eagerly anticipating Peary's visit to London, adding:
 "We hope to get useful advice from the most experienced polar traveller. ,
 With reference to the American eX petition, Scott said:
 | think it advisable that there should be cooperation between the ex petitions in matters of meteorology ana magnetism
 In an interview Scott said:
 'The Americans have the longer route, but possibly the easier one, a. there are indications of a gradual slop, from Weddell Sea to the pole. Tn, main difficulty will be to find suit able winterlng spot on Coates Land. :
