Routes TO Canada.
1t is probable that treaty viii be re-
quired 10 create joint commission to
regulate railroad traffic between the
United States and Canada
J. p. Mabee, chairman OF the board OF
railway commissioners of Canada, and
Martin a. Knapp chairman Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, who
have been in conference here for two
days upon the subject called upon Pres
ident Taft yesterday and discussed with
him the question OF uniform regulation
of railways traversing the United States
and Canada.
Later they called at the State Depart
ment and discussed the matter with
Secretary of State Knox. The prime OBJ
ject of a joint commission is to secure
authority to prescribe joint rates and
through routes on railroads.
The conference will be continued to-
day and probably tomorrow, when It is
believed they will complete Il report to
be submitted to their respective govern

PRESENT NEW STREET PLAN.
Commissioners Urge Widening oil
Minnesota Avenue.

Recommending its immediate passage,
the Commissioners yesterday forwarded
to Congress the bill containing authorize
ton 10 widen and extend Minnesota ave
nue. from Pennsylvania avenue southeast
to Eastern avenue. The estimated cost
Of the work is $3.50, to be assessed
against the abvtting and adjoining prop
erty holders.
The original bill was passed at the
last Congress, but it was found that 10
condemn Minnesota avenue according to
the permanent highway plan would ne
cessitate the destruction of a hotel at
Benning road and Minnesota avenue. The
present bill will save the property by per
uniting the Commissioners TO prepare a
new plan.

AWAIT GREAT FALLS REPORT.
Commissioners TO Get Lighting Pro-
ject Findings Soon.

Renewing the 1894 investigation into the
feasibility OF Harvesting Great Falls to
furnish power for a municipal lighting
plant for the city of Washington and
the District. the Commissioners now
await the report OF the engineers de-
tailed from the Geological Survey. which
will be submitted soon.
II is the opinion of the Commissioners
that little difficulty will he experienced
in acquiring the necessary property, if
the project is found feasible. after the
Geological Survey report comes in.
Probably not more than 100000 would
be asked of Congress. and il is thought
that this amount would fully cover the
proposition. not outstanding the fact
that reports attribute a railway corpora
ton as wanting 100000 for an undivided
half interest.

vate parties in such cases was a most
undesirable arrangement for the
United States.
Subordinates in the treasury depart.
ment, handling millions in money
daily, were required to furnish no
bond, excepting in some cases where
assistant treasurers required bonds
regardless of the law in the case.
This and much other similar infor.

ton Of whether the committee on ex-
penditures in the treasury department
should undertake an investigation of
the SCI 900 shortage in the sub-treas-

committee adjourned without deciding
whether an investigation would be
held or not.

ALFALFA
CONTINUED from page ~

As stated previously, it is the Grimm
alfalfa that the farmers of the Da-
kotas must depend upon, as that is
practically the only alfalfa available
that is hardy enough for our condi-
tions. There are probably not more
than 5000 acres of Grimm alfalfa
being grown at the present time. It
Is from this small acreage that we
must look to for the seed to increase
our sowings. If a considerable por-
ton of this acreage and Of succeed
ing acreage were devoted to seed
production, then comparatively
large acreage could be sown to
Grimm alfalfa5each year. AS a mat
ter of fact, much of the crop will
be devoted to hay production and
the sources of seed will thus be cut
off. It is scarcely putting it too
strongly to say that it is public
duty that the Grimm alfalfa be in
creased as rapidly as possible. ANY,
one having Grimm alfalfa becomes
a public benefactor in devoting the
acreage to seed production.
Grimm seed In Demand
There will, soon be a great de-
mand for Grimm alfalfa seed I'm
scrupulous dealers will not hesitate
to sell common alfalfa seed for the
Grimm. This will work sharpship
upon the farmer. It would be a wise
thing for the state to regulate in
some measure the sale of alfalfa
seed and require seed sold as Grimm
to be properly certified to. 1t will
probably be found that the produc-
ton of alfalfa seed is a profitable
venture in North Dakota. In 1908
the Dickinson experiment station
produced alfalfa seed at the rate OF
Sc bushels per acre. At the present
prices of seed this would mean an
income of at least $4,000 per acre
Doubtless these figures are above
the average. Even a yield of ~
bushels per acre would be profitable,

An Old Welsh Custom,

The kindling OF bonfres On hills is
the simplest OF celebrations at any
time. The Druids made four great
fires ut their festivals in February,
May. August and November. Wales
seems to have been country espe-
cially tenacious of this custom. Each
family used to make it's own fire, and
as it was dying out each member
would throw a white stone into it. the
stones being marked for future iden-
LITIGATION. Then all said their pray
ers and went to bed, and in the morn
ing they tried to find al the stones
again. If any stone was missing it
betokened that the owner Of it would
die within a year. Some superstitions
are pretty and picturesque and attrac-
tive. This was one of the many which
were cruel as well as picturesque. 1t
would take but a. slight accident to
caise fright that might be actually
dangerous to a superstitious person,
and it would not be hard for an enc
my of such a person to cause that
fright By stealing his stone from the

Four children were born to Mark
Twain, of whom two, a son and a

daughter Jean, who had been an in

third daughter, Clara, is Mrs. Ossip

whom she married last year.
Mark Twain's first book was the
Jumping Frog" His best known in
this country was possibly "Innocents
Abroad" His surest title to fame
is generally believed to be "Tom

Finn" In all. his books had a sale
of more than 100000 copies and
were translated into six languages.
With Mark Twain's lecture trip
around the world began his interna-

into figure taken in some sense to
typify the American spirit. From |
humorist he became the kindly but |

of "Puddin' Head Wilson," His lit
srary output became more OCCASION
al and though written with more
inesse, more critical and less crea-
i've. His public appearance grew
more frequent, his whimsical utter
lnces gained greater currency, and
whole literature of anecdotes
about him grew up.

cess the Past Two Years.

A part of North Dakota which is
rapidly coming into its own is the
central part of Kidder county, tribu-
tary to the town of Dawson. In this
vicinity there is much land which has
become attractive to settlers who are
seeking lands suitable for diversified
farming. The last year or two there
have been intluxes of experienced
farmers from Iowa and Wisconsin and
their success has stimulated others to
enter that territory and secure hold
ings in advance of the inevitable in
fatton of land values, This year.
sales have been made at from $25 to
$35 per acre on strictly cash basis,
some sales have been made as high as
$50 per acre. With, the present price
OF flax the buyers felt justified in
paying the prices asked. With yield
OF at least ten bushels per acre there
is handsome profit from a fax crop
and 1t there should be yields of say,
twelve or fifteen bushels which would
come in particularly favorable sea-
son, the buyers would be wearing
diamonds and have bank accounts
galore. 40
Among the sales of the last few
months was one of q 400 acre tract
which sold at $3.50; another 800 acre
tract mile or two west of Dawson,
at $35, and one choice quarter was
snapped up at $50 A recent arrival !
from Wisconsin, the buyer of a sec.
ton three miles from Dawson, has
let the contract for a substantial farm
dwelling to cost $500 and a barn to
cost $500 and he has ample for stock
and plant for a Investigation of in
terests.
An attractive feature is the splen-
did success in the growth of alfalfa
which Of course is a potent factor in
connection with dairying, an enter
prise which has been conspicuously
successful. For five successive sea-
sons yields of alfalfa have been cut
from $50 acres on the Billings and
Niles ranch southeast of Dawson, and
by no means is this an isolated ex-
ample of what has been done in the
raising of alfalfa which makes a val
liable feed for dairying stock Dur.
ing the past year the creamery at
Dawson has run continuously and for
the year 1909 the patrons were paid
S21 900 for cream.

the company, three of the defendants

land taken for railroad uses will
amount to six and half acres. Of
fers to pay for the land at about $25

the land is cut up badly owners do
not think the above sum sufficient

before Judge Burke in jury trials in

law provides for special jury if the
