the surface gets connpacted and
1T Is not necessary to go deep
In order to have this loose sur
face. Rain is one Of the great
est tcompacting agencies; hence,
after a rain the land should be
narrowed as soon AS the soil
will work nicely. If narrowed
when wet more harm than
good may be done. The soil
will also compact from it's own
weight so that cultivation
every two or three weeks is
necessary to keep the dust
mulch in the most effective
condition.
The saving of moisture is
very important, both for the
corn crop and also the crop
following the corn. It is not
only that it supplies the crop
with moisture, but it keeps up
the moisture content of the soil
so that the plant food can go
into solution which is the only
way the plant can get it and
also makes favorable conditions
for bacteria which make plant
food available.

WILLIAM STEWART IS DEAD.
Bottlneau County Pioneer Answered
Final Summons Monday.

Squire William Stewart, an
honored pioneer of Rottineau
county and one of the most
highly respected citizens Of
this com munity, died at 10: 80
o'clock Monday night, follow
ing a paralytic strocke Sunday
morning. He was in, Botti-
neau Saturday and that even
ing presided ut a meeting Of
the directors of the Farmers
Elevator company when he
seemed in his usual health. He
was stricken but a few hours
thereafter. He was in his eigh-
ty-fourth year.
William Stewart was born
November 8, 1926, in Bread
albane, township of Ray, coun-
ty of Glengarry, Ontario: His
parents came from Loeb Tay,
in Perthshire, Scotland, and
settled at Breadalbane in 1916,
and hewed out a home there in
the. woods. He remained at
home with his father until he
was twenty-seven years of age,
at which time he was married,
July "a, 1854, to Christy Nc
Arthur, who was born in 1927
and lived until January 4, 1903.
William Stewart lived on the
old homestead until May, 1883,
when he moved to Bottineau,
accompanied by his two sons,
Duncan and Alex. They located
their homesteads and built
their shacks and Mr.. Stewart
returned to Ontario in the fall
of 1883 and brought out the
remainder of his family, con-
sisting~ of his wife, three sons.
Arthur, George and William G.
three daughters, Christina, Ma
ria (now Mrs. Maria McBain)
and Jane (now Mrs. C. w.
Beyer.) His children are
all living in the vicinity of
Bottineau at the present time
except two: Christina, after
wards Mrs. r. Brander. who
died in Bottineau in 1887, and
George, who died in Bottineau
in 1908. Thirty grandchildren
now live in Bottineau and vi
cinity.
Squire Stewart was one of the
best known and most generally
esteemed men in this part of
the county. Coming here in
the early days he had been an
important factor in the develop
ment of the county. He always
took a keen interest in public
affairs and was active in the
farmers organizations, being
president of the Farmers Ele-
vator company at the time of
his death.
On the seventh of last Janu-
ary a reception and banquet
was given in honor OF the
decedent in this city. It was
attended by large number of
old settlers and other friends
and the squire was presented
with fine gold headed cane as
a mernento of the occasion. He
priced this gift very highly.
The funeral services will be
held at the opera house at 3
o'clock this (Fridayl afternoon
and will be conducted by Rev.
III. Shaw, who recently be-
came pastor of the Baptist
church. The remains will be

| frage. Replying, Mr. Cruce said that
there is not one feathers weight OF
argument against it, that women
| have as much right to vote as men,
that at the rate girls are being
educated, three girls to one boy,
the women will soon be better able
to take care of the government than
the men, but that he opposed wom-
en- voting solely on the ground OF
sentiment, because he thought a
woman's place was in the home and
in the society of nobler and high
er ideals than those which men are
| chosen to follow.
Mr.. Cruce again reiterated his
stand on prohibition, saying that he
is a prohibitionist, voted for it and
is not sorry, but that he holds it
| is not a political issue.
On the taxation of Indian lands
Mr.. Cruce said that the state is
losing annually $20,0OO,OOO because
of the non-taXability of Indian lands
of the Choctaw and Chickasaw ma
tions and that the people of the rest
of the state are called upon to bear
the burden.
a fund of $4,000" he said, had
been raised in those nations to con-
test the taxation of allotted Indian
lands, and that money is in the
hands of J. f. McMurray, who has
filed pleadings in court. The fact
that this matter is tied up in the
courts is no reason why it should
not concern us. But the next gov
ernor will have a good deal to do
with these lands, for under the law
he has the authority to command the
attorney general to confess judgment
in those cases and the attorney gen
eral must obey"
Mr.. Cruce answered the criticisms
made against him that he has been
a national banker in the character
istic manner that he was not asham-
e1 OF having been an honest bank
er, with a clean record. and that n
mans business or profession had
nothing TO do with his qualifications
for governorship. He again spoke
of the active part he took in the
1905 campaign for Bryan with the
bank guarantee law plank as the
leading issue, while Murray stayed
at home.
Brant Kirk followed in a vitriolic
speech against Murray who he said
had ignored him as a candidate for
governor. He accused him of intimate
friendly relations with J. F. McMur-
ray and said Murray should rid him
self of the coal baron barnicles
and run a clean race" Kirk talked
for an hour. using most 6 it in
his fight on Murray.
Bill Murray spoke for thirty min

made against him by Kirk. He said
he had made an affidavit showing
that he had had no friendly ques-

tionable relations with McMurray.
He defended Governor Johnston, his
relative, who was indicted once IN
the Chickasaw nation, and charged
w. B. Johnson of Arimore with
having motives in causing the indict-
ments to be returned. He spoke
again at night.

of the candidates. Another Ross del
egation came from Shawnee, and a
few friends of the Lawton man came
from Chickasha. When Ross arose
to speak in the opening of the de-
bate, he was given demonstra'
ton that probably outclassed any
thing that has preceded it in his
campaign for governor.
The debate lasted four hours, be
ginning at 2 o'clock. The Rev. u. q.
Whitwell presided, and the cansi

contrary economical, for the reason
that at the advent of statehood
three years ago the Indian Territory
had no form of government, the
two territories had different laws
and different ideals, all to be fash
ioned into a harmonious whole,
and" said Mr.. Cruce, THE marvel
of all history is the success that has
been accomplished. The state of
Kansas he said, which is about the
same size as Oklahoma and has
about the same populations under a
republican administration, last year
spent $3667 900 for the maintenance
of government. and if the same
amount is required during the next
two years. the state will have eX-
pended in the three years more than
$4,000 600 more than the state of Ok
lahoma expended in three years,
and that during formative period.
Mr. Cruce said that no state in the
union with a million and a half
people. under a republican admins
traticn, has as low rate of taxa
tion as the state of Oklahoma He
referred 10 the admission of Sena-
tor Adrich that the republicans are
robbing the people Of the nation OF
$1,000. 200, 900 annually by eXtrava-
giant government, and to the acts
of the democrats in the late special
session to decrease the rate of tax
