torney general pursuant to request
sent to the president few days
since.
What President Said.
"The president stated to these gen
tlemen at the outset tina; sne pur-
pose of the suit was to prevent the
proposed rate increases (Which under
the existing law could not be investi
gated at all until after they had be-
come effective) so as to preserve the
status until the new statute could be
passed and the committee should
have the power to investigate rate
advances as soon as announced and
before becoming effective. He stated
further that he thought the railroad
companies must withdraw the tariffs
enjoined and all other tariffs filed by
them effective on or after June 1,
1910, and that none of them ought to
file any new tariffs involving rate
advancing until the new law should
be passed, assuming that 1t would
be passed at the present session Of
congress.
After conference the railroad com
panies announced that they would
adopt the views expressed by the
president, and thereupon. the presi-
dent stated that If they did so, his
purpose in bringing the suit would
be accomplished, and such result be-
ing accomplished, he saw no occasion
for pressing the suit, and the same
would be withdrawn"
The increases which the railroads
have filed up to this time, it was
disclosed, are hardly beginning on
the advances that they had planned
TO put in. The 25 western roads rep
resented at the conference have
raised their rates at the present time
only one-half of 1 per cent total ton.
mage of the roads. They have plan
ned to make advances ON 10 per cent
of the total tonnage of the roads, the
increases to average about Is per
cent. 1t is thus obvious that only a
small percentage of the increases
that were to come before the end Of
the year were caught in the federal
governments suit under the Sherman
antitrust law

ARE
NOT SATISFIED

Buford Tribune: The government
board of army engineers visited Blu
ford on Wednesday and our irrigation
people turned out quite literally to
meet them. After an inspection Of
the pumping plant the engineers held
a meeting in the town hall, where
those who desired to talk with them
were invited to do so. During a half
hours discussion of irrigation project
extension it seemed to be the consen-
sus of opinion that the people under
this project were not in favor Of the
completion of the Buford- Trenton pro-
ject at the prevailing price for con-
struction as levied by the government.
Many Of our farmers think there is
no market for crops that might be
profitably grown under the project
were the same fully completed and
should the government furnish water
as per it's promise when the people
signed up for water.
Under The reclamation law there
was formed Buford- Trenton Water
Users association, with which the
government stated that 1t would do
business instead of with the individ-
ual.. This association has been per-
sistently ignored by the reclamation
service and by the government. Why
this association should have been or
ganized to be thus treated Is beyond
the ken Of man. The association was
capitalized at 100000 upon the basis
OF $4,000 acres Of land to be under
the irrigation project-each acre rep
resenting one share-and 1t seems
that the reclamation service aimed to
saddle that amount OF debt upon our
people without any regard as to the
result.

IMPORTANCE OF

LIEvEs THERE Is NO REASON

In bulletin which he has just is
sued Prof. H. L. Boliey of the North
DakoeE A. G. says:
The Importance of the flax crop to
the northwest is one worthy OF your
closest consideration. Statistics Of
the crop indicates that 1t Is gradually
losing ground In the northwest In the
same sense as 1T has done in every
other state In the union. The north
west, and particularly North Dakota,
can i'll afford to lose. so important a

older states.
have become convinced through
my studies that it is not necessary
that the flax seed crop should be lost
to the northwest, and shall try to help
the farmers save the crop much In the
same sense as the wheat crop has
been saved from the ravages Of loose
smut, and the potato crop approx
rnately half of the flax seed of the

pertanre OF the crop Is plainly evil
dent At this time / can only say
that the flax crop is not destructive TO
the fertility OF the soil. and that with
proper handling the new soils OF the
northwest need not be infected with
the diseases which have driven the
crop out OF the soils in the older re-
gions, and that with proper handling
the crop can be placed into profitable
growth upon the older lands where the
diseases now exist. This can only be
| done by careful consideration OF the
methods of planting, by the selecting
OF pure. clean seed, by disinfecting the

| ing proper rotations to keep the soil
| free from the growth Of the flax root

The Importance Of the question OF

by the authorities here as an old Of

of Kenmare for blindpigging. He was
placed in the city bastile to await a
preliminary hearing later it was found
that Boo was missing and it was
found that some of the bars had been
removed. The get-a-away occurred
about O'Clock as officers had been
there frequently during the night.
From appearances of the windows the
authorities are certain that Boz got

him were unavailing but the authori-

VERY PECULIAR
CONDITION this
M'KENZIE, NEVER LEGALLY Or
GANIZED, WILL HAVE FUR
Their COMPLICATIONS.

Schafer N. D., Aug 25.-Plans for
the division of a county that admitted
ly has never been legally organized
were taken when the board of COM
missioners Of Mckenzie county allow
ed the petition of the residents OF the
western section Of the county to vote
on that question. The legality of the
organization of Mckenzie county is a
point on which the courts of the state
have never passed, but on which at
torneys and judges generally arc
agreed there is little room for doubt.
Mckenzie county has occupied the
center of the stage in North Dakota
for some time, so far as legal battles
are concerned, and with the county
division fight on this year 1t prom
Uses to again get to the front.
The organization situation In Nc
Kenzie county is unique. Under the
laws Of the state, and under the pro-
visions of the constitution, the Or
ganization of a new county can only
be perfected upon the affirmative vote
of the people residing within dis
trict desiring to be organized. In Nc
Kenzie county, when organization was
first preached, range men held the
upper hand, and the new settler who
began farming in a small way was de-
cidedly in the minority. 1t was the
new settler who wanted the organiza-
ton in order that he might do bust
ness at home instead Of having to
travel several hundred miles.
In 1906 the matter came before the
legislature and a bill was passed de-
claring Mckenzie county officially or
ganized. Acting upon this the work
of organization was carried out and
though several efforts were made to
bring the matter to the attention Of
the courts, these were always fought
with no success. AS the time elapsed
is so great 1t is not thought probable
that the question viii ever be raised
again.

to just how to so to work in order
to disinfect the seed and prepare the
seed bed. If you are a flax grower
and wish to become a part of this
pure seed and pure soil organization
send in your name and address and
tell us whether you have seed to sell.
If possible we will inspect your crop
as Il stands in the field. Otherwise
you can send us samples or we will
inspect 1t in the bin.
Any person wishing to buy clean seed
may thus have opportunity to feel
reasonably sure that he is not going
to run so much risk spelling his land
for flax culture as in the past. This
bureau Of informttion will be open to
every citizen OF the state and of
the northwest. Send in your name
and help us boost the flax crop to at
least double its present yield of seed.
Remember, IL the seed crop is lost that
the future possibilities OF the fiber In
dustry are practically lost. II this in
dustr.s is lost everybody will pay more
for oil, for paint and for other
products. We especially want to meet
the man who has a pure variety of
flax seed or hopes to grow It.
