only curtains to separate the cots.

and as a matter of fact, in the
middle of the night COW walked
in and stood by our bed.
The next afternoon-Sunday-
we had dinner out in the open, and
a few hours later reached our des-

and through. Home was simply

owing to washout, our furniture
did not arrive for nearly three
weeks. l did the cooking. using
a small dugout as kitchen, and
we ate all our meals out of doors
off tin plates-many time in a
downpour too. just imagine!
Fortunately cousin John had
procured a good cow and some
chickens beforehand, and we had
brought some groceries from Chi
cago, SO we always had plenty to
eat, but you may know it was not
served with much ceremony.
The weather cleared, our goods
came and we really got settled.
As l was to cook for cousin John,
our two places were as near possible
leach one had to live on his own
claim, you know, but the girls
found the most desirable places
for their homes on slight eleva-
tion about mile away and nearly
half mile apart. We all used
tents for the summer though.
Talk about dry Dakota!' The
thunder storms were dreadful for
a while. We had so much rain
the first summer that the roads
were almost impossible, and once
I was literally stuck in the mud.'

Though often obliged to 60 to bed
with our clothes wet strange to
say we never took cold.
Gardens were started as soon
as possible and l never saw things
grow so fast anywhere. Soon we
had plenty of vegetables, and al
though we had little fresh meat,
we always had plenty of chickens,
eggs and milk. Later in the fall
we had the pleasure of attending
at Kadoka, the first fair ever held
in Stanley county. That fair
showed how rich Dakota land is,
for there was the finest display Of
products imaginable, all raised on

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, through its secretary, Edward A.
Mosely, has notified various railroad
companies that the commission will not
recognize the decision of Judge Gross
cup of the circuit court of appeals in
the 16-hour labor law case.
The railroads likewise were served
with a notice that the commission
would prosecute all railroads that fol
low the decision.
Judge Grosscup's decision was to the
effect that the railroads had a legal
right to work telegraph operators more
than 10 hours in day offices when the
work is not performed on "split
tricks.'
The commission insisted that 10
hours of work per day, continuous OF
split, was too much and that such hours
made the operators liable to mistakes
which might endanger the lives of rail.

FARM PRODUCTION INCREASES.
Whole Northwest to See Wonderful
Change in Next Five Years.


Commercial conditions in every city
and town in the western grain-growing
states will be changed before 1915 as
the result of increases in farm ,produc-
ton, if the plans of the Dry Farming
congress, which has headquarters in
Spokane, are carried out as planned
by the national officers, headed bv
Congressman F. W. Mondell of
Wyoming and the Washington board
of control.
John t. Burns, secretary of the or
ganization, who compiled the follow
ing data, believes the cooperation of
the farmers of the country in this
movement will bring about greater
transportation development, increased
marketing and milling facilities and
corresponding gains in every line of
trade and commerce. He says:
"The total acreage of the 20 wheat
growing states was about 33,265,000 in
1909, and the average acre production
was 20.5 bushels, or Az bushels above
the general average for the United
States. The greatest increase was in
the states where the most attention
has been given to scientific methods.
"Two hundred million acres of un-
occupied lands in the western states
can be placed under the pillow within
the next four years if we push the dry
farming propaganda to it's limit, and
of this fully 5o,oOO,OoO acres will be
wheat-producing land. This increase
in acreage means farm production
which will change the commercial con-
ditions of every city and town in the
western states.
Experiments in the states, where
dry farming is practiced, show we can
increase the production of wheat by at
least five bushels the acre, and, taking
it upon the basis of the present acre
age, this means a total of 166, $751; 900
bushels additional yearly in the west
ern states alone. Figured upon NOM
inal increase, which we might place
upon double the present acreage, this
means an annual wheat production of
702, $4,000 bushels in the western
states, or almost equal the yield of the
entire country in 1900"

Forester,s Plans.

"There will be no changes. We

ment Saturday noon while at Spokane.
He refused to comment on the Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy, and ex-
pressed himself highly pleased with
conditions in the forestry service
throughout the country. The state
ment that there would be no changes
means that the Pinchot plans will be
followed as mapped out by the ex.
forester before his retirement.

THE STATE FAIR IS GOOD.

The State Fair is we'll worth seeing
this year.
AS one goes in, the first thing on
view, as heretofore, is the fish exhibit.
This is much the same, except as to the
one feature of the big sixteen pound
trout frozen in q cake of ice That
is something that is in itself sight
TO see,
The first large building one goes into
is the fruit and farm exhibit and moth
ing could be finer than the apples,
peaches, pears, and plums, and other
fruits shown there. The grapes are
not as numerous or as snowy this year
as sometimes, but still the grape ex-
hibit is good. There are huge yege.
tables of many kinds, various dry farm
exhibits, and everything shows the
prosperity and fine growth of the past
season.
Next is the mineral building, where
the showing Of Utah minerals is first
class The different qualities of ore
are well classified, and the place that
produced each of them is noted One
needs no guide to identify everything
seen
Next is the Agricultural College ex-
hibit. finer than ever this year, and
the stock from the Agricultural College
is also noteworthy prominent.
The University also has a building
whore it makes an excellent exhibit.
The manufactures building, to the
left. the power and traction showing
and the machinery of many kinds, are
all In first class order and well shown
In the exhibits of stock, the cattle
seem to show improvement Of the first
class. Horses are very fine also, but
one does not note the gain in quality
and numbers as shown in cattle. The
sheep are in good evidence, but the
exhibit of swine is meagcr. This is
a curious lack. too. because all kinds
Of hog food products are in extra
ordinary demand at fancy figures. 1t
seems TO us that nothing would be
more profitable in the way of raising
livestock at this time in Utah than
the raising of swine.
The races are being conducted in
good style. and the horses are in fine
condition, making enjoyable exhibi-
tions
All in all, VIC have never seen a State
Fair here that was as good as the pres.
cnt one Those who fail to see il lose
something that ought TO he good
memory to them for the year, until the
next exhibit comes around. We adj
