Trains Going West.
WELCOME VISITORS.

Fargo Is entertaining large number
OF visitors this week. They are the
more enterprising agricuIturists of the
three great spring wheat states of Min
nesota and the Dakotas. They are men
of enterprise and intelligence, seeking
to improve their farming methods to
better be able to develop the resources
of the great northwest.
For dozen years the farmers hay
ing been coming to Fargo TO attend
these annual sessions. Budd Reeve. tn.
sage OF Buxton, was the originator Of
the idea. He was ably seconded by the
late Mayor Johnson and President
Worst of the A. c. The latter has lab
ored consistently for the entire period
and the farmers appreciate his efforts
dn making the sessions of the ,Tri-S State
Grain and stock Growers the successes
they have become.
The annual meetings are regarded by
Secretary Wilson of the department of
agriculture at Washington as the most
important assemblages of the farmers
dn the entire west. He always COOP
eerates in the movement by sending
leading men from his department. to
make addresses. The programme this
year includes his representatives, u. S.
Senator McCumber and the leading ae-
Ticulturalists and educators of the
dhree states.
In addition to the tri-state meet
there will be sessions of the North
Dakota Union of the American Society
OF Equity and the terminal elevator
association, the State Horticultural So
Ciety. the State Civil Engineers, and
other things. along with the exhibits
ny the North Dakota Corn show. the |
North Dakota Poultry association and
the North. Dakota Kennel association. |
These side issues will be interesting
and Instructive and win give the Wis
ators ampIe entertainment.

THE WASTE OF SOIL.

The New York Journal of Commerce
had an editorial on the waste Of soil
fertility by farmers and said:
No other of the natural resources Of
our country approximates in value the
native riches of the soil, and no other
has been SO prodigally wasted or is i'm
such need Of conservation and restitu-
tion. j. j. Hill has been sounding a
warning on this subject for the last
year or two, and this was echoed with
emphasis by President Brown of the
New York Central railroad In his adj
dress at the Cornell Founders Day
celebration at Ithaca. The falling Off
In our exports of farm products and
the rise in food prices that is causing
alarm are In no small part owing to
the decline in production from the soil
due to wasteful, negligent and unintel-
ligent cultivation.
Mr.. Brown called attention to the
fact that the average yield OF wheat in
this country for the last ten years has
been only Ia bushels TO the acre. while
in France 1t is 20, in England "a in
Germany rs and In the Netherlands 81
bushels TO the acre. The same or a
greater disparity is shown with refer
euce to other cereal and vegetable
crops. We raise an average Of SIS bush
els Of potatoes to the acre, while in sew
eral European countries the yield of
this vegetable. native to America, lis
$50 bushels to uhe acre. This is In no
degree due to the inferior quality of our
soil, but altogether to Inferior methods

NoRS MAN,

Washington, Jan. 18.-New Yorl;
state politics has been the subject OF
a number of more or less informal con-
! ferences in Washington lately on the
part of Empire state leaders. It lis
conceded by all hands that there will
be some mighty interesting develop
ments during the next few months,
which will have an important bearing
on the political future of a number Of
distinguished men.
At the recent conferences the two
matters which received the greatest
attention were the governship and
the United States senatorship. Al
though none Of the New Workers i'm
Washington profess to have had any
word from Gov. Hughes on the sub
ject, 1t is the general BELIEF that the
governor will not ask for a renomina-
tion.

to be springing gubernatoriaG booms
Lit Is known, however, that the adj
visibility Of naming William Loeb has
been given serious consideration. It
Is declared that state Chairman Wood
ruff has signified his Willingness to
support the collector OF the port OF
New York for this high Office. What
consideration, il any, was involved in
this arrangement is not stated.
The prosecution OF the sugar trust
and other convictions which Loeb had
conducted from his Office has brought
him before the public in most favor

cause of his opposition to the Taft in

There is no use making definite

a stare leader today, until the big
hunter comes back from Africa. He
will land here some time In June and

No One Opposing Depew.
There seems to be but one avowed |
candidate in the field for the United
States senalorship. This is senator
Depew, who desires reelection. He is
making good headway in his canvass.
Michael j. Dady of Brooklyn, who was
IN Washington the other day, declared
that he favored the reelection OF De

and yet that is what will be portray

1t is made possible by the ingenuity
and cleverness of Frederick Thomp-
son, young man, who four or five
years ago, went down to New York
and by his dash and dare revolutioniz-
ed the then prevailing big amusement
enterprises in and around the metrop-
oils. He produced the wonders of
Luna Park, Coney Island, and tae
marvels of the huge Hippodrome in
New York city. He invented realis-
tic scenes on q prodigious scale. He
had Margaret Mayo write a play on
ideas he furnished, and then put them
in the realism that will be seen by
Fargo theatregoers.

There is little doubt in the minds OF

that Murphy has made peace with the

trusted lieutenant, and with the ma

from this state to give him control of

he can shift things municipality in the

seeks. II is understood that certain
friends Of w. j. Price want him to
make the race. e. j. Weiser has been
suggested. Tine same is true of Stewart
