URGES FARMERS
TO KEEP STOCK
PROFESSOR SHEPHERD OF THE
A. c. POINTS OUT DIFFICULTIES
OF GETTING GOOD STOCK BACK
DON'T SELL YOUR STOCK If
you CAN POSSIBLY HELP 1T.

Stock raising is the most profitable
part of farming, next to dairying, yet
IL is hard to develop. Professor Shep-
perd Of the A. c. In his annual report
shows that the amount Of stock in this
state has decreased In the last five
years, and decreased more than the
breaking UP of ranges will account for.
The amount OF stock in Illinois has
also decreased and, the number of cat
tie, hogs and sheep Is decreasing. This
is not a very good sign.
In view OF the shortage OF hay and
fodder in some sections Professor
Shepperd is urging the farmers to
keep their stock If at all possible In
sections where this condition prevails
the price that can be realized will not
be good and 1t will be difficult thing
to buy stock again as there will not
be much in the state that can be
bought when feed becomes more album
dant.
He also calls attention to the fact
that 1t has taken time to get the stock
and the blood lines that one knows, so
that 1t would take years to get back
into as good stock again. 1t would
mean a setback OF several years IN
ones farming. Grain that is not At
for market will make good stock food
and should be utilized in this way.
Those who have planted corn, this
year will be in good shape to take
care Of their stock. Those who sell
their stock will md that it will be
shipped to the states to the south
that are growing more corn and there
corn fed. This corn can be grown In
this state and this year is a good
time to take note of the corn crop
and what it will do in this state. In
the absence OF any other feed utilize
the old straw stack. or new straw II it
can be had. it will not be an ideal
ration but 1t viii be better than dis
posing Of the stock.

FIRES MOST
DISASTROUS
pRoUTH CONDITIONS HAVE MADE
THIS BAD YEAR FOR
FOREST FIRES.

washington, Aug. 5.-The current
year threatens to be one OF the most
disastrous to the national forest from
fires In the history Of the country be-
cause Of the drouth conditions in the
west Officials Of the forest service
are perturbed over the situation and
have decided to adopt energetic meas
ures.
Secretary Wilson of the department
Of agriculture, who is in the west on
tour of inspection, has expressed
Willingness. according to reports. to
incur deficiency IL necessary in the
appropriation made by congress to
fight the fires this year
The danger is especially acute in
western Montana and northern Ohio.
District Forester Greeley at Missoula,
in a report says forty large fires in the
reserves in that territory have been
brought under control. but that ten to
fifteen are still burning. The condi-
lions this year do not arise oftener
than once in every period OF ten or
fifteen years.

NEVER TOO LATE
To Begin Saving and Wisely Investing
Every person Should Have
Something Laid BY.

The money question we have always
with us. To most of US, the question
consists largely of getting the money
necessary to live on, but many If not
most people have some surplus In
come which they do not save.
The Northwestern Mutual Invest
ment Co, of this city offers a magni-
ficent plan for systematic saving in
their limited term certificates. These
certificates are issued in any denomi-
nation desired and run for periods Of
ten, fifteen or twenty years as the pur-
chaser may prefer. They bear in
terest at the rate of per cent per
annum, and at the end of the term
share in the additional profits OF the
company on equitable terms.
Young men and women especially are
urged to look into this plan OF safe
and systematic saving. 1t opens way
for future independence as It assures
a sum Of money definitely to be count
ed on. II has proved very popular and
the company is doing constantly in
creasing business.
Write the company; the Office is in
Fargo and they win be glad to send
J full information. -

WEATHER is PLEASANT
Observer Grasse Gives No Promise Of
Any Rain for the Locality In
.. and About Fargo.

The weather for today could hardly
be improved upon. It wasn't too warm
for comfort, neither was 1t too col.
1t was just abut right. There is no
prospect for rain in this section today
or tomorrow. Observer Grasse makes
his forecast for tonight as generally
fair, and the same for tomorrow with

METHODISTS CALL
! A new PASTOR
PENNSYLVANIA MAN SELECTED
TO BE PASTOR OF FIRST M. {.
CHURCH TO SUCCEED REV. H.
G. LEONARD, WHO GOES TO
MINNEAPOLIS.

It is understood that the officials Of
the First Methodist church have sell
ected Rev. Mr.. Walters of Pennsyl-
vania to be the successor of Rev. H.
G. Leonard, who has received the
bishops approval to accept the call
from the Simpson church, Minnea-
polls.
The acceptance of Mr. Walters is
now up to the bishop for his approval
and IL that is not granted something
else will have to be done. 1t is stated
that it is a rare thing for a Methodist
church head to withhold approval but
on occasion IT is done and was done
two years ago when the Rev. Leonard
desired permission to go to Seattle and
the Rev. Vance, a former pastor in
Fargo failed to get the bishops ap-
prevail for a move he desired to make.

SAYS N. P. Will
BUILD new DEPOT
PROMINENT OFFICIAL OF THAT
ROAD SAYS THAT A NEW PAS
sENGER DEPOT, WEST OF
EIGHTH STREET WILL Be
ERECTED NEXT YEAR.

| There is every reason for believing
that the Northern Pacific railroad will
erect a new passenger depot in this
city in a very short time, possibly next
year. 81
The above was the statemet made by
a we'll known N. P. railroad official
this morning to The Forum,
There is now no possibility Of the
N. P. building an addition to the pres
ent station, because the company real
ize that the blocking of the streets.
Broadway and Eighth, must be taken
care of soon," said this man. Just
look out there" and the gentleman
pointed to Eighth street which was
blocked by a coast train that had
no more than ten cars and which ex-
tended partly over Broadway and then
made a complete blockade OF Tightn
street. This necessitated the train to
keep shifting every few minutes, for
1t laid her for some time, and it
costs money to start and stop an en-
CINE.
The gentleman continues:
THE Northern Express Co., hich
Is owned and controlled by the n. p.
road has moved its office out of the
station and is now located across he
street in the WALDORF block in the
room that was formerly occupied by
Wheelock & Wheelock, but this does
not relieve in any way the. N. p. pas
senger business, neither does It givH
u, ha "a
fact remains that the old express Office
is still used as a sort of an express
freight house, and the deliveries must
be made from the new office ~..
Let me tell you another thing"
said the gentleman, you will gee that
the new depot will be erected some
where near where the big plant of
Union Storage Co., is now located. This
is across the tracks north from TIE
present freight house Of the company
and Is the most feasible place for
the new depot.
The subject Of a new depot f?r
Fargo has been talked of for some
time. but am satisfied that it will
come in another year You see, after
the engineers had been here to lpok
into the advisability Of erecting m
addition just west of the present pas
senger station so as to give room for
the express company and the dining
department. 1t was shown that this
would not in the least relieve Broadway
and Eighth street from being block
AIDED, and so the idea Of building the
addition was given up at least, for
this year. Within the past few weeks
the talk has been for an entirely new
depot. and I will say that 1 look Tor
it to be erected during the year ri
1911. Just remember what / say and
see If am not right"

MIDDLETON AGAIN
BEFORE COUNCIL

Again returning to the battle for
justice from the city In the matter oi
| damages TO his property directly due
Ia the filing up of the Weber canal,
which causes the water from the foot
hills to inundate his property as we'll
as the property OF other residents Of
the northern end Of the block bound
eu by Twenty-sIXth and Twenty y-sev-
enth street, and Washington avenue
and Adams avenue, President c. f.
Middleton was given the floor at the
special meeting OF the city council
last night and made 6n earnest plea
for some action.
Mr.. Middleton started his remarks
by recalling the fact that ne had ap-
Feared before the city council about
year ago and had peutioned the city
to provide some means of keeping his
land above water. He said that peti-
uonS usually end with a prayer that
something be done, that he prayed al
that time and mas been praying ever
since. all of which has resulted In
nothing, Mr.. Middleton then describ
ed the conditions which first caused
the floods on his and others lands
in that locality, and expressed it as
his opinion that the city was respon-
sible. He called attention TO the fact
that when he appeared before the
matter had been referred 10 the street
committee and the city engineer. and
the latter had at that time promised
him hearing. After dragging on for
some time, however, with no action
being taken. according to Mr. Middle
ton, he was told that the engineer
claimed that the food conditions pre-
vailed at certain seasons. before tho
city had made any improvements in
that section or had closed up the
Weber canal Mr. Middleton emphat.
1callv denied this assertion. and re-
quested that the matter be referred
to the street committee, city engineer
audo city attorney with Instructions
to meet with Mr.. Middleton and go
over the ground together During the
course of his remarks Mr. Middleton
suggested that one way which ap-
peared To him az a feasible scheme
TO take care of the trouble would be
for the city 10 construct a drainway
through the block In question, which
would be adequate to take cnre Of the
spring. when most OF the trouble about
which he Is complaining has been eX-
perienced,
While some doubt as TO whether
or not the city could obtain the right
of way through the block in question
for the suggested drainway ditch,
motion that the matter be referred
to the street committee, city engineer
and city attorney was passed by an
unanimous vote. and Mr Middleton
VIII meet with these officials in the
near future and attempt to show them
Just where and. why the city is re-
sponsible for his land being flooded
Mr.. Middleton called attention to the
fact that he is now the Oldest resident
OF that particular section, and believes
he has paid enough in take sto the
city TO warrant his getting a little con-
sideration in return All tn eother
old timers of the neighborhood, ac-
cordlng TO Mr.. Middleton, have long

early struggles in Mexico for lnde-
