FARMERS INSTITUTE
BEST One THIS YEAR
FARMERS INSTITUTE MONDAY WELL ATTENDED AND
GREAT INTEREST SHOWN--.I INTERESTING TALKS
BY LEADING AUTHORITIES OF COUNTY.

The farmers institute held here
on Monday was the wind up of the
institute season that began last
November. 1t was in charge of
Mr.. O. G. Gregg, who has been
superintendent of farmers insti-
tutes in Minnesota for over twen-
ty years, and he pronounced it one
of the best, if not the best institute
they have held this year. The at
tendance was good and the interest
was exceptionally fine. Mr.. Gregg
expressed himself as being very
much pleased at the preparations
which the Commercial club had
made for the meeting, stating that
when the Commercial club and
the farmers work together a great
meeting is always assured. The
band added much to the interest of
the meeting. They played at each
one of the sessions. The CONNER
cial club furnished both dinner
and supper for all who attended
the meetings and this was very
much appreciated. In one way
the institute was held under un-
favorable conditions in that the
soil is in condition Tor springs
work so that number of farmers
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1910-04-07

were busy and did not feel that
they could take the time to attend
the institute. Considering every
thing, it certainly was fit insti-
tute for closing up the season.
The first speaker on the program
was Professor Thomas Shaw, who
took up the subject of dry farm
ing. Below are some of his state
ments:
The rainfall for this section
averages about 16 inches, some
years it will be more and others
less. By investigating the wealth
er records we find that the wealth
er seems to move in cycles of
about ten years. At present we
are having the wet seasons and the
dry ones are due to come, and that
the lanu should be so farmed as to
make sure of a crop even though
the dry seasons should come. In
Montana they are raising crop
on good deal of the land every
other year. In North Dakota we
ought to farm so as to be able to
raise reasonable crop every year.
While we may look for some dry
seasons, yet the chances are that

RAILROAD WORK
NOW UNDER WAY
PINCREE TO WILTON Line OF The
NORTHERN PACIFIC STARTED
TO RUSH OPERATIONS

Jamestown, N. D., April s.
All doubt about the construction
of the Pingree-Wilto line this
year, appears to be over as con-
tractors are in the city today max
ing arrangements to begin grading
work the 18th of April.
The general contract was let to
Guthrie & Co., St. Paul and
twenty-five miles of that contract
has already been subletto two con-
tractors, Edward Sweringen OF
New Salem and James Tobin of
Seattle. Both contractors arrived
Friday and registered at the Glad
stone hotel. Mr.. Tobin has a
force of 4S teams and has been
working on Great Northern con-
tracts near Culbertson, Mont.
Contractor Sweringen has a force
of IS teams which have. been wint-
ering at New Salem and were en-
gagged in grading on the n. P. ex-
tension west of the river last year.
The new work will be rushed
forward as rapidly as possible and
any farmer or anyone else who de-
sires to do any part of the work,
can arrange for the same by seeing
the contractors. 1t is said that a
little better price per cubic yard
will be paid this year than last.
There are all kinds of work for
men and teams on this extension
this summer. The contracts with
the railroad company calls for the
completion of the line October /
next. rs. >-....,..,. .a.
The laying of rails and the con-
struction of bridges, culverts, etc.,
will be done following the grades
as closely as possible. Mr.. Tooin
was looking up the purchase of
oats for his horses, and expects to
buy about 10000 bushels. The
bridge over the Pipestem will be
an iron pipe support bridge. 1t is
said that some of the grades on
the new line as left by the engine
ers will be pretty steep as high as
two per cent grades, but these
may be reduced before the rails
are finally laid. Engineer Boston
has charge of the east half of the
work.
The contractors went to Pingree
today to make some preliminary
arrangements for the starting of
the big railroad camp.
1t is said that G. K. King of
Darlington is the townsite agent
for the new towns expected to be
started on the new line. MIR.
King is at present sick in the hos
pital in St. Paul.
1t was reported that Contractor
Whittier, who had a contract on
the Midland Continental, but who
is not to complete that line, has
taken large contract for grading
on the G.. N. The report was that
Mr.. Whittier had taken a contract
on the Pingree- Wilton extension,
but this is said to be incorrect.
The railroad building in the
county and the farm work to be
done this spring, summer and fall
will keep every man and team
busy until it freezes up. Good
wages can be made between seed
ing and harvest by any one who
has equipment for railroad work.

You ''know values you who
buy advertised things-and the
merchants who advertise in this
paper know that you do.
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1910-04-07
And the people
get the benefitS----

The day of advertising (Which is un-
mistakably with us-brines with it some
substantial good to the social order.
Its first important benefit is that Of
serving the buying public by furnishing
them reliable information about goods
and prices-and bringing that informa-
ton to them in the most direct, the
quickest and the most convenient way
by the way of the newspaper.
The-perhaps-still more important
phase of advertisings service to the peo-
pie is the way it revolutionizes store
methods and ideals. The merchant
realizes that everything in his store must
be worth advertising e-ready for "the ad-
vertisine test" For advertising makes
a doubtful bargain stand out as an un-
desirable one-thus bringing its penalties
as well as its rewards.
1t may be safely said that the neces-
sity of publicity has operated to put
selling upon surer and more certain
basis of conscientious desire to win pub
lie favor by really deserving it-by max
ing good value the slogan in every
store--and exceptional values (Which
have essential advertising value) the daily
aspiration of the merchant.
And the people get the benefits!

GOLFERS WEEKLEY
WAS in THE DEAL
TOLD DISCHARGED OFFICER HIS STORY
WAS WORTH FROM $4,000
to $4,000


sprightly row in the committee
yesterday morning served to in
crease the demand for seating
room at the Ballinger-Pinchot
hearing this morning and the
largest crowd since the days of the
CLAWS, Pinchot and Garfield testi-
mony was on; when the doors were
opened. The cross examination of
H. K. Love was continued by At
torney Brandeis, representing
Louis r. CLAWS and others. .
A new sensation was sprung
soon after the inquiry was re-
sumed. Attorney Brandeis
launched into the cross-examina-
ton of Mr.. Love, who told of
meeting John w. Dudley, former
register of the land office at Jan
eau, Alaska, last February at JAN
eau. Dudley testified that Mr..
Love said he had been let out"
of his office and that Golfers
Weekly had intimated to him that
''it would be worth from $4,000 to
$4,000" for him to 60 to WASH
ington to testify. ''Do you mean
chat the weekly meant to bribe
him?" asked Madison of the COM
mittee. mo, not to bribe him
but to pay him. replied the wit
ness.
The committee betrayed great
interest in the incident and pressed
Love for the details. The witness
said he saw Dudley three minutes
and that Dudley said he wanted to
go to Washington to testify for
the ''other side." He said Dudley
wanted him to tell Ballinger of
this offer and that he had not ac-
cepted it, but that he desired to
testify for the "otner side." Love
said he did not tell Ballinger> be-
cause he thought perhaps Dudley
had put a wrong construction on
the remark of the weekly's agent.
He said Dudley did not tell him
the name of the agent. DO you
think the weekly wanted Dudley
to come here to tell the truth?"
asked Graham (Dem,) "Most as
suredly," said the witness.
Love said Dudley had expressed
an intention of going to Washing
ton to clear his record with the
department since he had been dis
missed. The committee decided
by unanimous vote to subpoena
Dudley, who, the witness said,
was engaged in business at Juneau.
Love said he did not think he had
mentioned the conversation with
Dudley to anybody. He denied
that Dudley had intended to try to
influence Ballinger by having him
mention the incident to the secre-
tary of the interior. Attorney
Brandels questioned the witness
for nearly an hour in regard to his
yesterday after which
Representative Graham took him
in hand.
After Love was excused Frank
l.. Spalding of Cheyenne, Wyo.,
formerly disbursing officer and
clerk in L. r. CLAWS Office at
Seattle, was called to the stand by
Vertrees.

LuNrrpp PRESS 1pAsnp wrnE.l

Chicago, Sept. 13.-Compared
with the gross earnings of railroads
a year ago, the returns for August
this year show that practically the
same lines gained 10.1 per cent with

for August, 1910, aggregated $37-

This is a much better showing than
that Of July, when the increase was
