DICKINSON SHOULD COMPETE

The North Dakota High School Debat-
ing League will commence work within
a few weeks and the competition
promises 10 be very keen.
The debating league was organized
last year, with the state university as
the center, the university men having
control over the details and arrange
ments. and experimenting the carrying
out of the work of the league.
The Grand Forks Herald contributed a
large cup of solid silver, eight inches
in height and seven inches in breadth
and valued at SIPS, to be the trophy of
the High School Debating League. The
name of the school winning the final
contest, together with the names of the
successful debaters, will be engraved
each year upon the cup. and any school
successful in three final debates shall
come into permanent possession of the
cup.
The question debated last year was
whether or not the commission form of
government should be adopted in North
Dakota cities, Leeds winning posses
sion of the cup.
This years question deals with a
subject vitality interesting to North
Dakota people. since it is at present
being argued pro and con throughout
the state. The question is:
Resolved, That the constitution of
North Dakota be so amended a to pro-
vide for the initiative and referendum.
lit is understood that the method of
amending the constitution remain un-
chaneed.)"
The Dickinson high school has plenty
of good material but did not enter the
contest last year on account of the great
expense of sending a debating team so
far. This year it would seem that the
people of Dickinson should see to it that
this difficulty is overcome in some way
and that u high school has a chance
to try for the cup.

The special train left promptly on
time Friday afternoon. and Messrs.
Heaton, Gregg and myself spent most Of
the afternoon in becoming acquainted
with Jul genial hosts. the officials of
the Northern Pacific Railway and with
our fellow companions, all of whom were
good fellows. Saturday morning found
us approaching Helena. where we
arrived promptly at 8 O'Clock. During
the night we had taken on many Mon
tana business men and farmers, most of
whom are prominent in Montana affairs.
The Montana state fair was in progress
and we spent the day in visiting tile
city and the fair. Our badges were as
good as the gold and the gatemen recoe-
nized their worth. The agricultural ex-
hibits at the Helena fair, in the way of
cereals. were very fine indeed. The
samples of grain were remarkable for
any year or for any place. 1t is no dis
credit to North Dakoa to say that the
exhibition could not have been equalled
here for Montana has the advantage of
hundreds of thousands of irrigated acres
which we have not. Again Montana is
primarily a winter wheat state and this
gives her much advantage in yield.
Some of the fruit exhibits were excel
lent, though these were not as good as

Mr.. Mars. the noted aviator, boarded
our train in the morning and we had
the pleasure of being introduced to him.
Very soon after W. reached the grounds,
Mr.. Mars prepared for flight. He made
a fine start and after circling the fair
grounds. he shot westward and we could
see him against the sky line for many
miles. The main range of the Rocky
Mountains lies a few miles west OF
Helena and it was his intention to fly
owe this. Just as he wat ascending q

portion of his flight was not a success,
yet the flight as a whole was a brilliant
affair. Helena has an altitude of sew
eral thousand feet and to fly at this
altitude is much more difficult than at
a lower one.
We left Helena late in the evening
and early. the next morning found us
going up the Bitter Root Valley towards
Darby which is the end of the branch
road. We arrived there at 1880 and,
after q few minutes to view the noun

we arrived at 9 a. m. Hamilton is in

During the congress / spent one day
in the famous Palouse region of Wash
ington and idaho. This region is drain
ed by the Palouse river. They have a
winter rainfall which at Palouse
amounts to II inches. The soil is a
rich, dark colored volcanic ash and like
all other good wheat soil is %''inexhaus-
tible'' in its fertility. The land is very
rolling. or rather very billy, and most of
the farms are on the side hills. Over 80
per cent of the crop is wheat. The land
is selling for from $780, 90 to 500. 90 per
acre and is considered a good invest
ment at that. They told me that the
wheat averages IS bu per acre. This
statement is true only for the best por-
lions of the region. l saw very good
crops of corn that had been grown with
out a drop of rainfall or irrigation the
moisture used having fallen before the
grain was planted.
We started upon our return trip Thurs
day night. Before leaving, Spokane
Chamber of Commerce ga We us a magni-
fcent banquet of " courses.
Spokane is a wonderfully thriving city
of some 100. 600 inhabitants and they
told us that it had barely started to
grow. Considering the magnificent
resources of Washington or rather OF the
Inland Empire, it was not difficult to
believe the statement. Washington has
a WONDERFUL future before it, a future
which n a scarcely realize ven
after having visited the state.
MONTANA FARMING
In order to study at first hand the Guilt
walton of dry land alfalfa and other dry
crops, I stopped off at Billings and went
north into the Musselshell Valley where
one finds a magnificent district just in
the infancy of its development. The
Milwaukee was laid down only two
years ago and the Great Northern is still
younger.
Dr.. W. X. Sudduth of Billings has
taken a GREAT interest in this section
and he has done as much for it as any
other man. His work in introducing
alfalfa as a dry land crop is particularly
to be commended. The main crop of
the upland of this region is winter
wheat and this is grown most success
fully under strictly dry land methods.
Summer fallow alternates with wheat
every second or third year. By this,
moisture and plant food are conserved so
that when once a crop is s0wn some
thing is doing. Yields of IS bushels are
quite common and yields of between so
and 60 bu. are not unknown. Before we
know it Montana will be growing a vast
acreage of winter wheat with a yield
averaging 20 or more bushels per acre.
If n prefers to use a cultivated crop
instead of the clean summer fallow, corn
or potatoes may be grown although corn
at attitudes found in Montana is rather
uncertain. Alfalfa can be used to re-
store the humus of the soil. Irrigation
is practised along the Musselshell. Al
falfa is q very profitable crop. Alfalfa
hay is now selling for SIS. 90 per ton and
alfalfa fed to hogs is perhaps worth
twice as much. AlstheH Helena fair. d..

Hope Wins Second Round

Hoge, Aug. >24.-Hope has :. gain come out ahead in the lis. gation relative to the county seat removal, the latest victory being on last Saturday, when at Mea Chancellor James D. Shaver ra fused Washington an iniunction against the election being held on September 12, the time fixed by the county court,
 The first move upon the part of Washington was an appeal from the decision of the county court after which an effort was made to secure a supervisory order from Circuit Judge Carter, stop ping proceedings until the ap peal could be heard in his court, but this was refused, and Wash ington's attorneys then applied to Chancellor Shaver for an in. iuction last Saturday, which was also refused.
 Washington was represented by Hon. Luke Monroe, and Hope, by Hon. ! H. McCollum, in the application before Chancellor Shaver.
 Hope is now confident that the election will be held on Septem Der 12, the date originally set by the county court, which is also the date for the general cleo tion.
