WOMEN and the BALLOT BOX

1t is sometimes argued that women
will vote largely with their brothers
and husbands, but have observed that
there comes time when the brothers
and husbands vote with the woman.
'''' Those who expect TO win at
the polls will never take the chance on
the woman vote remaining away on
election day. - This fact is always
for the good; men universally accredit
th EN- the aptitude for getting upon
the right side of the great moral ques-
tions. - One argument advanced
against woman suffrage is that but
small proportion of the women vote in
those states where they have the right.
This is an error. A remarkably large
proportion of them vote when you take
into consideration that it is new
privilege. against the exercise of which
the customs and teachings from St.
Paul to the present day, and that it is
a privilege still rejected and criticised
by many good women =
THE mother is no less a mother, the
home no less a home. the husband no
less husband, and even often more
husband. It is absurd, perfectly
absurd. to suppose that woman will
change her sphere in life by reason of
an increased opportunity to enlarge and
ennoble that peculiar sphere in which
she is by nature placed and from which
all the laws and policies Of the world
will never take her. know that the
woman who deals in care and sincerity
with those questions which tighten the
burdens and adjust the equity of
humanity, is nobler, stronger. more
womanly woman than the woman who
sits in enforced idleness, sips her tea
and discusses the decline of some de-
parted social queen. Senator Borah

LORDLY FORMALITIES.
Preparing q New Peer For His Seat, In
House Of Lords.

Preparing a New Peer For His Seat, In
House Of Lords.
Numerous formalities have to be
gone through before any new peer Is
entitled to take his seat in the house
of lords.
One Of the most important matters
Is the preparation Of the patent, long
strip of parchment, to the end Of
which Is affixed the wax seal, the color
of which varies, according to the rank
Of the new member. Another item is
the robe, made Of scarlet cloth with
three doublings of ermine, the number
Of bars varying according to rank.
Thus duke has four bars in front
and the same number behind, q mar
quis one less, and so on.
Then there are preparations in re-
gard to making or changing coats of
arms, in connection with which fees to
the extent of about so guineas are paid
by the recipient of summons to the
house of lords.
Altogether the financial disburse-
ments amount in the case Of a new
earl to between 5000 and f7OO, some
of which finds its way to the chancel-
lor Of the exchequer and some to the
crown as represented by the college
Of arms. A considerable portion of
this expenditure is, of course, incurred
in the purchase of the coronet.-Lon-

Cement HEARING CASES
HELD TO DISTRICT COURT

AZ the forms for this Issue of the
PRESS are being closed it is learned
that the charge against Geo. W. McClel-
Ian of grand larceny has been dismissed
in Justice A. P. Folsom's court. How
ever. he is held to the district court on
charge of having stolen property in his
possession.
1t will be remembered that three biz
loads of cement were removed from the
N. P. round house one night last month
and placed in the Mcclellan sheds.
Foreman Louis Berg and Joseph
Fisher. of the N. P. force. testified of
tracing the wagon tracks to the McClel-
Ian sheds.
Fred Hanson. workman for P. B.
Pelton for year or Two. came into
court, making the fifth man wanted.
He testified for the state that he went
with Mr.. Pelton sometime after mid
night the morning of September and
helped him to haul the three loads of
cement from the N. P. round house to
the Mcclellan shed. He said that
boards were placed and everything
properly arranged in the shed for the
cement, showing that some one in
authority at the place must have had
knowledge of the deal.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sutherland, VIM. Nogele
and Mark Sutherland testified for the
defense.
H. C. Berry is defend ing Mr.. McClel-
Ian.
States Attorney NJ L. Mcbride is
looking after the prosecution.
Mr.. Baton. one of the N P. special
detective force, is here keeping close
tab on developments.
+. The P. B. Pelton case was called
little before noon and it is not believed
that the defendant will make any effort
to disclaim his responsibility in the
matter.
When Geo. Joslin was called as a
witness by the stale, he made substan-
TALLY the same statement he had pre-
'AouoAy AAoNSs pHOOuO4y SOlHk d Ilt(lC
further in some of the details. tle
related how he, Dave Rhodes, P. B.
Pelton and Fred Hanson did the work
! that night. He made the statement
that Mcclellan, or some one that he
supposed was Mcclellan. fixed the lights
at The shed where the cement was to be
placed. Joslin also claims that he
made bargain with Mcclellan to take
the cement at 81. so per barrel.
1t is likely that the evidence will
show that Joslin, Rhodes and Pelton
were in deal to divide equally the
proceeds of the sale
T. F. Murtha is defending P. 3. Pei
ton.
Defendants gave bonds each in the
sum of ST, 900 last month and it is
likely that Justice Folsom will consider
these sufficient now.

zoU,UOU bushels was flax, and the
balance divided among the other
small grains.
We are giving herewith a table
compiled from the shipping re-
ports of the Northern Pacific
railway stations given, and while
the figuref are only approximate,
being compiled from the number
OF cars shipped, yet they are
sufficiently accurate for the pur-
pose at hand.
The table gives the shipments
of the four principal export
grains from each station, each
under its proper head and is to-
tailed both ways which gives total
of all grains shipped from any
one place, as we'll as the total
bushels of any one grain from
all the stations.
The small showing made by
the towns of Belfeld and South
Heart is due to several causes.
This is the first shipment of
grain ever made from South
Heart, and the country in that
end of the county being rougher
was settled last, is the principal
reason why the shipments from
these two points is light com.
pared with the others.
This represents an enormous
income for this county. 1t has
brought to the farmers of this
section between $2,OOO,OOO and
$3,O0O,Ooo, and this princelv rev.
enue will keep increasing as
greater areas are brought under
cultivation and the better farm
ing methods, which are so nec-
essary in the dry region, become
more universally employed.
1t is indeed an agricultural
country, and a rich one too.
And as yet only small portion
of the farmers have adopted the
generally accepted system of
dry farming. They have been
satisfied to barely scratch the
ground and throw out little
seed, and set back and wait for
the harvest. If their slovenly
methods have produced the re-
suits given above, what will be
the annual production when ev-
eryone farms his land in scien.

will be far beyond even the wild.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS =
GROWTH OF GRAIN INDUSTRY
The Production of Small Grain for Export in the Territory
Adjacent to Dickinson has Assumed Amazing Propor
tons. Nearly 2,5oo,ooo Bu.hel. were Shipped from
Stark County During the Past Year. And still the In
dustry is Only in its Infancy.

frosts and all other weather con-
ditions unfavorable to the grow
ing Of cereal crops, had only
enough faith in their theory left
to whisper that it had been an
exceptional year. But as years
of plenty followed each other
without break, one by one these
doubling Thomases secured a
tract of land and themselves en-
gagged in the humble but profit
able business of grain farming.
Each year the producing area
has been increased until at the
beginning of the present year
the available land was all under
the plow in some localities and in
general a large percentage had
been turned over.
The former claim shacks have
given way to modern homes, sur
rounded by many good, substan-
tial outbuilding, groves have been
plauted and most of the latest
conveniences of the eastern
farms have been installed. Roads
have been laid out and graded,
streams have been bridged, in
many instances with strong steel
structures, and in numerous To-
calities the rural telephones are
being brought into use. In every
aspect the country, which only a
short time since was a wild,
trackless desert, has taken on
the appearance of solid prosper
ity aud now supplies existence,
and even opulence, to thousands
of contented families.
The grain growing industry
in this section of the state has
been developed to such an extent
that hundreds of elevators have
sprung up in the railroad towns
and yet they can hardly handle
the vast streams of golden ker.
nels which flows in from the ag.
ricultural districts at harvest
time. The production has in.
creased until the six stations
along the Northern Pacific rail
way in Stark county shipped
from the elevators nearly two
and one-ha1f million bushels of
grain in one year, This does
not include the thousands of
bushels used annually for home
consumption.
We have several -four mills
which daily grind thousands OF
bushels of wheat into -four; the
Russell-Miller Milling Co.'s mill
at Dickinson alone using consid.
erab1y over a thousand bushels
per day. Then the major por.
ton of the oat crop if required
on the farm for feed. Also large
quantities of wheat and other
grain is used at home for chicken
feed and fattening hogs. Yet
aside from the vast amount con.
sumed at home we have for ex.
port to eastern marksts 2,5OO,O
bushels within one year. OF this

age resident of this part of North
Dakota would, if asked about the
agricultural possibilities of the
: Slope, tell you that this would
never be a farming country. He
would probably cite numerous
instances where the ranchers
had attempted to raise grain or
potatoes and had signally failed
in every case. And he might 60
even farther and prove by statis-
tics, gathered from various sour.
ces, that the mean annual precip-
itation was inadequate for the
maturing of a wheat crop, or 9TH
er grains.
Prior to 1904 this belief was
almost universal in Stark county
and the unorganized territory
surrounding. OF course farm
ing had been carried on in some
localities for several years, but
with varying degrees of success.
One year the fields would bring
their owners rich returns, and
the next, nothing. Taken as
whole the country was given over
to stock raising, and nearly every
one, and especially the stockmen,
held the opinion that nature had
endowed the land with that end
solely in view. It was, without
doubt, stockman's paradise,
and, whether they were sincere
or not, the cattle barons did all
in their power to foster the falacy
that grain could not be profitably
grown west of the Missouri with
out irrigation.
Fortunately for the future well
fare of this portion of the state,
thousands of practical farmers
in the middle western states
were so blind that they could not
see the folly of attempting to till
soil that would not produce, as
was so clearly demonstrated by
those who had been here for
years.
A few came, and after once
seeing the millions of acres Of
acres of rich prairie covered with
a luxurious growth of grass,
which could be had for nothing,
decided that the appearance of
things warranted the attempt,
aud settled. More followed, and
soon the older states of Wiscon-
Illinois, Minnesota and Iowa were
pouring into this country the
greatest tide of land hungry i'm
migrants the west has ever seen
and every desirable quarter sec.
ton of land was gobbled up.
Claim shacks sprang up at an as
tonishing rate until they dotted
the prairie in every direction.
The locators fourished and the
lumberman found his business
increasing so fast that he could
scarcely keep up. Hundreds of
real estate firms sprang into ex-
istance and all prospered. The
boom was on
Most of the settlers came with
the intention of making for them
selves a home. They we're prac-
tical men and women of the SUBJ
stantial middle class, with high
order ofinte1ligence and an unlim-
tied supply of pluck and perse-
verence. The larger portion of
them had some knowledge of
<good farming methods and some
capital. The latter they ex-
changed for horses and machin-
cry and soon their shining plow-
shares were turning over the
leng black ribbons of sod which
was to otransform thisvast empire
of virgin prairie into an integral
part of the worlds breadbasket.
