IRRIGATION IS
PROVING SUCCESS
ATKINSON TELLS OF RESULTS
ALONG MOUSE RIVER-AL.
FALFA DOES EsPEc-
TALLY WELL.

Biamarck, N. D., Sept. 27.-State
Engineer Atkinson, who has recently
been laying out irrigation bitches on
the Mouse river, north to Minot, has
returned enthusiastic over the results
shown by the use of water on the bot
tom lands this season and the posi-
bilities for the future. Mr.. Atkinson
was over most of the valley between
Minot and the Canadian line and is
satisfied that there are at least 10000
acres between these two points that
are susceptible of irrigation with a
maximum pumping lift of fifteen feet.
The lands lay especially well for easy
irrigation as the banks of the river are
several feet higher than the adjacent
lands, so that it only becomes a matter
of constructing a ditch along the bank,
pumping into this ditch and flooding
all the land between the river and
the hills.
Henry Stammcn. who has a large
farm eight miles south of Grano, and
has irrigated 300 acres this season, is
so thoroughly convinced of the profits
to be made 10y irrigating this land that
he has recently purchased 5000 gal
lon pump and is now constructing a
large ditch two miles in length and
will next year irTigate 700 hundred
acres. This season Mr.. Stammen has
oats that yielded 100 bushels to the
acre and blue Joint that yielded two
tons per acre. He states that his en-
tire outlay for pumps, engines, bitches
and operating expenses has been
more than returned to him by the
yields this season, and is convinced
that with irrigation he can produce
twice the average yield annually. The
results obtained by Mr.. Stammen this
season has served as an object lesson
to the farmers along this stretch of
the valley, and water right applica-
tions have been made covering about
5000 acres additional which will be
irrigated next season.
The state engineer is convinced
that the soil on these bottom lands
is of the best, and believes that in
tensive farming with the aid Of irri-
cation will produce net income an
nually of at least $50 per acre. Alfalfa
will be a sure crop with a yield of
five tons per acre and it is fine po-
tato soil when irrigated. The pasture
land adjoining the bottoms together
with alfalfa and other forage that can
be raised, makes it, 1t is believed that
the farmers are an ideal dairy and hog
country, and now alive to the possibil-
tiles and will make. this one OF the
richest and most productive valleys
in the state.

JAP GROOM and
AMERICAN Wife
INTERESTING ROMANCE RAcn Of
THEIR MARRIAGE-WILL RE-
SIDE IN JAPAN.

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 27.-For
fifteen minutes last evening Grand
Forks entertained two rather inter-
esting visitors, Zentora Morikubo and
his bride, and they have more romance
attached to their marriage than the
ordinary couple ever falls heir to.
It's largely because the groom is a
Jap, while his wife is an American
girl Of New York city, that they have
been given this exceptional allow
ance of romance, as there were many
difficulties to overcome before the
couple could finally wed, and at the
same time retain peace and quiet in
their respective families.
Zentora Morikubo and his bride are
ell route back to Japan where they
viii make their home, the groom hay
ing decided that life in Japan is far
preferable to continued residence in
tho United States.
The groom is the youngest son of
one of Tokio's most influential citi-
zens, member of the Japanese par
lament, and the leader of the city
council of Toxic. The young man
was sent to the United States when
out a boy to get an up-to- date educa-
ton, and went through grammar
school, high school and finally gradu-
atcd from the Leland stanford uni
versity. He then went to Yale and
took post graduate course and can
now attach B. A. and M A. to his
name. After a year business
edtfcation in New York city, he went
home in April, 1909. to get his par
ents' consent to his marriage with
Miss Ethel Bagg, the daughter of a
prominent New York attorney, in
tending to come back to this country
to live. He found things SO much
more to his liking in his native coun-
try. that after he had reconciled his
parents to his marriage, he decided to
take his wife back to Japan. He re-
turned to the United States last
July, and is now en- route home with
his bride.
While in Grand Forks they met sew
eral local people and both seemed i'm
mensely happy and pleased with their
lot In life at the present time.
The bride Is blond of about the
same height as her Japanese hus-
band

MERRY STILL RAILROADING
ALTHOUGH HE IS In JAIL
Almost Sold Heinger Editor Block Of Stock While in His
Cel-Can Put Up Most Convincing Argument
Although Behind Prison Bars

Hettinger Record: the promoter Of
the Dakota Southern railway, who i.
now serving eight months in the
Adams county Jail, is indeed an inter.
esting character. The editor recently
called on Mr.. Merry at the jail to get
his story for publication and after
ne had talked to us for half an hour
we came very nearly asking him to
sell us block of his stock. He GER
tainly can talk railroad business in
telllgently as well as fuently He is
pleasant, genial and gentlemanly and
his talk is convincing. His surround
lngs, however, are against him at the
present time but at that we had To
shake ourselves when we got out of his
presence to convince ourselves that
Merry was not already president of a
large railway system extending from
Winnipeg to the Gulf
Merry does not take his jail SEN
tence seriously and says that his var
ious railway propositions will be put
through in spite of his handicap. He
doesn't expect to serve the full term,
depending he says, on his influential
friends in railway circles to get him
released on legal technicalities Mer-
ry certainly is an optimist and he is
game 20 the core.
A Merry Tale.
Mr.. Merry gave his side of the story
in the following interview:
u don't see that there is anything
left for me to say according to the way
you told the story in the last issue of
The Record. However, as you have
given me an opportunity to tell my
side OK the story l shall do so.
You can say for me that the eastern
North and South Dakota railway pro
ject is a perfectly legitimate PROPOSE
ton On the project between Water
town and Fargo we have already
bought 140 miles of right of way and
thirty townsites. Beside the Fargo to
Watertown survey we have surveyed
for branch from Scoville in Sargent
county to Devils Lake. A preliminary
survey from Fargo to Winnipeg also
has been made. The 252 miles of road
from Watertown to Fargo will be built
in 1911 no matter where in h am.
This road is to be part of a Winni-
peg to the Gluf system and it is back
ed by some of the best railroad men
in the central west and will be oper-
ated in conjunction with a road that
already has lines in all of the west
central states.
My proposition has been examined
by engineers in the employ of two of
the leading trust companies of Chica-
go and New York and they report that
the project is the best they have ever
examined as to it's earning power when
completed. Upon their recommends
tons the bankers and trust companies
have signed contracts to take the con-
5tructiop and equipment bonds at the
rate of $17,5O0 per mile. Forty-seven
miles of the road in South Dakota will
be paid for by farm owners within a
en-mile strip, joining the road, pay
ing 81 per acre. Their contracts are
in local banks and the money will be
collected as each mile of road is built

been attained-narnely the breaking of
the firm. But somehow or another
plans miscarried and an investiga-
ton disclosed the scheme in its in
fancy, the promoters however getting
away. About 1000 of the checks were
afterwards found in lake near De-
trott and after a lapse of eight
years 1000 more were found in the
Mouse river So far no clue as to who
the criminals were could be found
but it may be that the recent discov-
cry here will help materially in appre-
hending the guilty parties.

LIQUID CURES ECZEMA
WHERE sALvEs FAIL

In regard to skin diseases, medical
authorities are now agreed on this:
Don't imprison the disease germs in
your skin by the use of greasy salyes,
and thus encourage them to multiply.
A true cure of all eczematous diseases
can be brought about only by using
the healing agents in the form Of a
liquid.
WASH THE GERMS OUT.
A simple wash: A compound of Oil
of Wintergreen, Thymol, and other in
gradients as combined in the ID. d. d.
Prescription. This penetrates to the
disease germs and destroys them, then
soothes and heals the skin as nothing
else has ever done.
A 25-cent trial bottle will start the
cure, and give you instant relief. Fout
