etiquette. has made him more approach
able than some Of his predecessors, and
the British Embassy under his admins
tration has lost none of the prestige II
has ever been accorded.
Its prestige has Increased rather under
Mr.. Bryce's regime. for il has become
an intellectual as well as a social center,
and while his administration will not be
noted for plain living" since no dip
l9matist can afford to abolish the flesh

memorable for high thinking"
Bryce Well Known.
Mr.. Bryce. his career. and his accomp-
Iishments. are too widely known in this
country to make a personal sketch nee
essarv, but one quality which he pos
sesses should be emphasized. That is
his sympathy for everything that makes
for the intellectual and artistic progress
Of the nation; it would. perhaps. instead
OF the nation" be more truthful 10 say
mankind. for in this Mr.. Bryce is a citi-
zen Of the world. a supporter Of every
movement that looks TO the betterment
Of its people.
The British Ambassadress, a daughter
OF Thomas Ashton. Of Fordbank. near
Manchester. was married 10 AIr. Bryce in
1859. since when she has been in the

Bryce accepted his present billet. she

circles Of Great Britain and an active
member OF the Aberdeen Liberal Associa-

Mrs. Bryce began her public work when
she was eighteen as manager of an ele-
mcntary school for girls. A little later
she was placed on committee Of high
schools for girls. and then promoted TO
take part in the government of woman $
college. finally becoming connected with
the bureau in London for the employment
of women.
All of her life. until her husbands ap-
pointment TO Washington. she has lived
in the stirring atmosphere of politics.
and the change from this tumult and
turmoil to the quiet and dignity of a
great embassy was a marked one. but
the practical training she received in pO-

GREEK sRuTALLv BEATEN.
EmpIoye Of the Great Northern Struck
Over the Head as He Was Walk

| "A Greek, employed by the Great
Northern, was struck over the head
and arms several times by bold a.
sailant about II o'clock Monday night,
as he was walking under the Ward
street viaduct. The fellow had been
paid off that day aud the thug, no
doubt, knew it. The Greek resisted
the attack and was struck 80 hard
over the head and body thai bad
cash was cut in the rear Of his skull,
and his arm broken. i His cries brot
other Greeks to his rescue, and the
assailant escaped before he had time
to secure any money.
Several hundred Greeks were paid
of by the Great Northern in this city
Monday and some Of the thugs, no
doubt were lying in wait for them.
The police were notified, but no ar.
rest has been made. The Greek can
not identify his assailant very Won,
as the place where he was attacked
Is not well lighted, but he is sure
that some white fellow did the trick.

Full ATTACKS ON REPUBLICAN
sNOMlNEE FOR GOVERNOR

Glenburn Advance: Sam Clark of
the Minot Reporter has dropped into
the last state of dispair in his efforts
to discredit Hon. G. A, Johnson, the
republican candidate for governor. To
repudiate the nice things he said
about Johnson two years ago he now
makes confession that he did it for
money. Money then tainted his opin-
ion of men, so he now confesses, and
. this year he Is out fighting not tor
money but with clear conscience. (?)
Mr. Clark is a witt writer but he has
time making his readers teneve what
he writes. There is sad lack Of sin.
cerity behind the words he pens and
his most able efforts are lost on the
minds of his readers because they do
not believe he writes what he knows
is the truth. Two years ago he wrote
for money and this year he is writing
to satisfy envy and hatred. He viii
find that his present articles are -
lacking in influence as he now con-

written for money. ~

srockwELL CASE APPEALED.

CASE eSNpTeN!e's !
II is announced that after long de-
Lay the case Of the state against Sup
ertntendent of Public Instruction
stockwen is to be appealed. Months
ago it was annaunced that Mr. Stock
well had been using funds that should
have gone to the state. The sum was
said to be about ST 900. It was claim
ed that he had receipts to show that
about $1,000 Of this had been paid out
Aor services for the state. OF the
other $4,000 stockwell claimed TO
have performed extra personal ser
vices and to have had other Work
done. but he had NO vouchers to show
for this. ~
OF the total amount there were be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 for which Mr..
stockwen made no effort whatever
account-claiming the fees Of the on
fee were his by divine right and by
precedent.
After considerable agitation Attor-
nev General Miller brought an action
against Mr.. stockwell to recover for
the state. Instead Of bringing It tor
about $12,0o0-the amount for which
Mr.. stockwell was unable to snow
vouchers or proper expenditure-nlee
hroue ht the action for between $5,OoO
and $4,000. The court gave the state
a judgment for this amount It u

NORTHWEST MAY
LOSE FLAX CROP
BUREAU OF INFORMATION UPON
FLAX SEED AND FLAX
PRODUCTS.
(By H. L. BOlley)

To the fax growers of the north
west and North Dakota in particular.
The Importance of the fax crop 0
the Northwest is one worthy Of your
closest consideration. Statistics of
the crop Indicate that it is gradually
loosing ground in the Northwest in
the same sence as it has done in everv
other state in the union. The North
west and particularly North Dakota,
can LII AFFORD to lose SO important
a crop from their short list Of available
crops for general farming. The re-
col ds Of this crop show that it has
been one Of the great money-makers Of
North Dakota and previously did
equally well for Minnesota and other.
older states. sg !..tHT;, 'f2.y Il
have become convinced thru my
studies that it is not necessary that
the fax seed crop should be lost
to the Northest, and shall try to
help the farmers save the crop much
in the same sense as the wheat crop
has been saved from the ravages of
loose smut, and the potato crop from
it's various enemies. North Dakota
alone has annually produced approxi-
mately half Of the flax seed crop Of
the United States, and considering
the ruling prices for the seed the i'm
portance Of the crop Is plainly evi-
dent, At this time can only say that
the fax crop Is not destructive to the
fertility OF the soil. and that with pro.
per handling the new soils Of the
Northwest need not be infected with
the diseases which have driven the
crop out Of the soils IN the older r.
gions, and that with proper handling
the crop can be placed into profitable
growth upon the older lands where the
diseases now exist This can only be
done by careful consideration Of the
methods OF planting. by the selecting
Of pure, clean seed, by didnfecting the
seed before sewing 1t, and by con-
Quoting proper relations to keep the
soil free from the growth Of the dax
root fungi which may chance to reach
it. The Importance Of the question Of
pure seed and OF keeping the soil free
from the persistent parasites which
destroy the crop is 50 great that If
overlooked the crop must certainly
eventually be lost in any particular
neighborhood. II farmer fails 10
treat his wheat for the prevention Of
smut, he may have to sell It a. re-
jected wheat, but he has not injured
his land. II he fails to treat his fax
seed for the prevention OF the root
diseases he not only eventually loses
his crop but Injuries his land for the
growth Of fax thereafter. Further
more. he places the lands Of his neigh
bors in Jeopardy, as the parasites
which rot of the roots Of the fax
plant and cause wilt live in the soil
for number Of years.
The department OF botany. Of the
North Dakota Experiment station pro
poses to aid all persons interested in
procuring clean seed for sowing pur-
poses by keeping up bureau Of in
formation. We hope to be able to
furnish weekly to anyone who desires
list OF seeds men and farmers
who can furnish hax seed which is fit
for sowing purposes, and further upon
