FARMER BENEFITS
BY HIGH PRICE ERA
Continued From page one.

There was time when the farmer got
the worst of it. Now he is getting his
share and he is prosperous and con-
tented"
Representative Martin then read to
the house a statement prepared in the
department of commerce and labor
showing the prosperity OF the farmer
as compared with the rest of the com
munity.
Included in the statement was a set
OF figures showing the purchasing
value OF the products of the farm and
the other products that the farmer
customarily buys The figures were
taken from the wholesale price hats
Of 1897 as compared with these az !
recent period.
1t was shown, for example that
whereas a bushel OF corn bought seven
pounds Of sugar in 1897, It now brings
sixteen pounds; that where the same
pusnel or corn bought five gallons of
OIL in 1887, 1t now buys eleven gallons.
IN 1897 busbel of corn bought 3:59
UNITS or transportation; now 1t buys
more than units. The table also
showed that the purchasing value of
oats, rye, barley and other cereal
grains increased proportionately in
value.
Live stock also showed a marked in
crease In purchasing value. In 1897 a
steer bought $40 pounds of sugar. now
1T buys 40S pounds.
Inc farmer issnot kicking" said Mr.
martin. He is not selfish, but at
same time he would view with alarm
the passing OF the era of high prices"

SURVEY PARTIES
BY The Dozen

Schafer, N. D., May ga dozen
railroad survey parties are in the
field in that part of northwestern
North Dakota lying between the main
line of the G'ea; Northern and North
ern Pacific. Much of this activity is
due to the prospective opening Of the
Berthold Indian reservation next fan.
The 500 is running surveys on the
reservation from Plaza and the North
ern Pacific from Turtle Lake 1t is
reported that the latter will extend its
Turtle Lake banch due west to the
Missouri. touching the river nearly OPP
posite the mouth of the Little Mis-
souri,. .-....,
A party Of Northern Pacific sur
veyors is at work along the Knife in
Mercar county, another party has been
seen in camp south OF the Little Mis-
souri, on Hans creek in Dunn county,
and third party, consisting of AS
sistant Engineer @. B. Archer and
seventeen men, has arrived at Scha-
fer In Mckenzie county. These three
crews are presumably working to-
gether with the view of extending the
north branch OF the Northern Pacific
from. Stanton on the Missouri, west
along the Knife, then north to the
Little Missouri and from there north
west across Mckenzie county to con.
meet with the Glendive branch of the
Northern Pacific. now building up the
west bank of the Yellowstone toward
Sidney.
The country through which these
many surveyors are being run is who'll
ly without railroad facilities. Many
farmers are obliged to haul their
crops sixty miles to market. Some
of the ranches trailed their cattle
eighty miles last fall. The region Is
settling very rapidly. Double the, area
OF last year is under cultivation this
year and breaking and flax seeding on
the sod will continue until the middle
OF June. AS high as forty bushels of
wheat and twenty three bushels of
flax were raised last year. Crop pros
poets were never better than they are
now.

ENFORCEMENT OF
THE Is HOUR LAW
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
TO BRING TEST CASES AS TO
SPACE TO BE ALLOWED LIVE
STOCK IN CARS.

Washington, May 26.-A controversy
has risen between some Of the rail-
roads Of the country and the larger
livestock shippers in regard to space
in the cars which must be affor led
animals in transit from one state to
another in order to make unloading
unnecessary and still comply with the
,tWenty-eight hour law. This law pro
woes that when the animals are car
ried in cars Sin which they can and do
have p; oper food, water, space and on
portuntty to rest" they shall nor he re-
CURED to be unloaded The department
OF agriculture has been appealed to
oy both railroads and shippers. and
today the position OF the department il
tentatively announced as follows:
If cars are not loaded beyond the
minimum weight fixed by the tariffs
the department will not for the pres
ent raise the question as to whether
sufficient space is provided for the ami
mails TO rest; but railroads which load
beyond the minimum nd do not unI,aC1
for rest will have to take their chances
of prosecution in the courts.
1t Is the Intention of the department
to institute number of test cases and
secure rulings from the federal courts
as to what space must be afforded. 1t
is claimed by the department that this
Is the only course open, since no DOW
er Is given the secretary of agriculture
by the law to make rulings and reEu-
lations regarding space to be afforded
in cars.
In all cases where livestock is not
unloaded en- route into properly equip
ped pens for rest, water and feeding
the cars must be provided with faciIi-
ties for feeding and watering in tran

William c. Hunt, chief statistician of

agents.
First Official Statistics.
1t is pointed out in the introduction
that this is the first time an attempt
has been made in United States CEN
sus to secure official statistics con-
corning salaries paid to ministers. It
is stated that the results of the census
are not entirely satisfactory on account
of the failure of some ministers to re-
port their salary and of others to re-
port with sufficient clearness. OF the
grand total Of 1856 denominations in
continental United States, the report
states that fifteen have no regular
ministry and sixty-nine either pay no
stated salaries or made returns which
were not sufficiently complete to war
rant tabulation.
Or the 2O1,351 organizations compos-
ing the 102 remaining denominations.
there were 1929, or SIG per cent.
which made returns to the census In
qulry and the report states there IL
reason 70 believe that these are sub
stantially complete and accurate, and
1t is thought that they embrace a, suf-
ficient number OF organizations OF the
respective denominations to be fairly
representative of conditions as TO the
average salaries paid TO ministers. The
fg'ires In the tables are for continental
United States. for each of the four
principal classes of cites-that is those
having a poulation in 1900 of $4,000

AN ENORMOUS VOTE
Is Expected in the Coming Elections
In Great Britain.

London, Jan. 1.-THE increasing
confidence which is being manifested
in the Unionist headquarters and the
enormous enthusiasm which has been
aroused throughout the country be-
token that tremendous poll will be
recorded at the coming elections and
that hosts of electors who are usually
too careless or indifferent to vote will
be brought out for the balloting. 1t
is upon this section of the community
that both sides are depending to up
hold their cases and both sides appear
equally sanguine.
While the struggle is maintained
with undiminished vigor, it becomes
increasingly difficult to find anything
striking or novel in the speeches
Premier Ascuith at Ipswich and MI
Balfour, the Opposition leader in the
Commons, at Glasgow, both addressed
large gatherings and open air over
flows tonight. Mr. Balfour devoted
himself to criticizing the omissions in
the premers election address. Mr.. As
outh dwelt at some length with the
question of tariff reform. He asserted
that the advance of Germany and the
United States was attributable to other
causes than tariffs. that the United
States had an internal free trade and
Germany had become a formidable RI
val by reason of her education and or
ganization.
Among the minor incidents of the
campaign, David Lloyd George, chan
cellor OF the eXchequer has drawn a
handsome apology from Lord Roth
schild for Wrongfully attributing to the
chancellor the declaration that there
was likelihood Of Great Britain having
to expairiate the Jews.
The late President Mckinley was
quoted tonight by a political lecturer
as having declared that if he were an
Inelishnan he would be q free trader.

The EvanaeIistic Meeting.

Rev. Samuel Ora Gray, the speaker,
and Charles F. Allen, the singing evan
gelist. held another of their afternoon
meetings at the Methodist church yester-
day afternoon. That the meetings are
growing in interest is evident from the
fact that the congregation was larger
than at any previous service and the
spiritual interest is more manifest. There
was the usual song service under the di-
rection of Mr.. Allen, with Mrs. f. r.
Goodwin at the organ, the audience join
ing heartily in the songs Mr. Gray read
a Scripture lesson from the I'd chapter OF
Hebrews and Rev. Malcolm Dana of the
Old South church offered prayer. Mr.
Allen sang a solo, THE Name of Jesus,
in a very impressive manner. Mr.. Gray
announced for his text: How Shall We
Escape If We Neglect So Great Saliva
ton" The speaker said there were ques-
tions, many of them. both in the Old and
New Testament, that if men would take
time to study their great meaning and
then answer them honestly it would mean
their salvation here and now. He fur
Their said: salvation was great in its
plan: great in it's record; great in it's fu-
ture; great in its achievements; great in
that it could be possessed by every in
dividual 1t being so great and the plan
so plainly simple, the question then how
can we escape the consequences of our
failure to accept the proffered gift?" He
pointed out that the failure to accept
could not be atoned for through our gen
crosby or through the fact that we were
known for our good deeds or works, or
that we were in the crowd Salvation is
a personal matter which related to every
man and woman, so that nothing short
of life regenerated through the atonins
merits of Jesus could bring salvation to
the human soul" After the sermon about
five minutes testimony meeting was held
and many gave few words of testimony
regarding their Christian experience. A
number answered the call to enter the
Christian life
The services for the balance of the week
will be held in the Old South in the af-
ternoon on account of repairs being made
on the organ at the First~Baptist church,
but it is expected the organ will be COM
pleted so that the First Baptist, which is
the largest in town, can be used for the
great meeting Saturday night This after
noon Mr.. Gray will speak from the text:
