Two questions that now promise
to come before the voters in the elections
of this year are a proposition to build a
county jail and to ask for a vote to have
the herd law abolished in Cavalier
county. Petitions it is understood are
already being circulated over the county
asking the board of county commits
sioners to submit the proposition to
abolish the herd law to a vote of the peo-
next fall. Cavalier county people have
been talking of the need of building a
new Jail for years past and it now seems
as if the time has at last arrived to have
the voters give voice to their view of the
matter at the primary election. Cava-
lier county certainly needs something
different to the present quarters for its
enforced guests.

when U. L. Burdick, of Munich,
auctioned off some of his pure bred
stock recently he set a new mark in sales
in Cavalier county. The average price
paid for the Percheron horses and mares
was s526.75; the Jersey cattle went from
3 to $40, and the P~land China hogs at
$50. Gazolite, the three year old stallion,
brought the top price, $l,9T5. The low
est price paid was 1926 for Nilena, the
14-year-old Percheron mare. Nearly all
of this stock, representing an investment
of nearly $1,000, was purchased by Cava.
lier county farmers, who have come to
know the value of blooded stock on their
farms. Stock raising is going forward
by leaps and bounds IN Cavalier county,
and Mr.. Burdick's sale has done its share
in keeping up the interest.

AS stocks in sight are not
abuornally heavy: the excess is placed
in full retail stocks. This is a point of
Importance. 1t happened nee before
several years ago, and finally off in flour
demand.
AS to wheat reserves on the farm and
in countr, storehouse, there is no ques-
ton. They are enormous. Farmers are
eager to sell, but are turned back from
the oye!flowing station elevators. These
are pouring grain to the terminals at
over double the rate of a year ago. The
same is true of oats, and to a lesser de-
gree of corn.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1910-02-24
THE WHEAT SITUATION

AS the new year wears along it is be-
coming clearer that the wheat situation
shows a reversal of the usual order of
things at this season. For instance, a
year ago we were entering the period of
scant wheat marketing because the
moderate crop had been rushed to mar
ket to fill the bare bins of mills and
elevators. Supplies were small in every
position except the visible in public
elevators at primary points. This visible
was rapidly and steadily reduced from
100000 bushels at the beginning OF
the year to 100000 bushels in July.
Things are different now. Although
the visible is 100000 bushels smaller
than a year ago, it is increasing, and
should soon overtake the annual COM
parison. Primary movement from the
last crop has not been greater than from
the previous one. Exports have been at
at least $35. 100000 bushels less. AS the
1909 yield of the United States is placed
at 737,00O,000 bushels, against 664,000,OOO
bushels the year before. it follows that,
barring increased consumption, there
must be over 10O,Oo0,0OO bushels more
wheat somewhere than there was a year
ago.
This excess is on the farms, in country
storehouses and in the shape OF Hour.
Grinding has been far ahead Of con.

In regard to the Fairbanks.incident in
Rome, the following sane editorial OBJ
servation in the New York Times. is very
complete as an explanation: "The Pope
does not invite any one to visit HIM in
the Vatican. He dwells in lonely state
hedged in by tradition. There is moth
ing personal in the Pope's refusal to see
any visitors to Rome. There are count
less reflections of applicants. In each
case the specific reason for the refusal is
more or less conjectural, but invariably
the rigid rules of Vatican etiquette have
not been complied with"

A LANDMARK GONE

Thousands of North Dakotans will
grove over the death of Col. w. G.
Plummer, who passed away, at his old
home in Maine, where he had gone from
this state to pass his declining years.
The colonel was one of the best known
men in North Dakota and his genia]ity
and generous nature made him friends
wherever he went. He had a gift of
oratory which made him highly priced
on the stump where his OVERLOOKING wit
and adaptibility to circumstances made
him a power in debate, a delightful con-
versationalist and splendid comrade. He
was last in the state during the Taft
campaign two years ago when he made
several speeches for the republican
cause, but it was apparent to his
friends that he was very feeble and that
in all probability it would be his last
visit to the state. His was a varied life.
In youth he vas a printer in Pennsyl-
vania and in fact all through his life he
was ulOie VI lesS CouucCISu Will JouI-
nalism, where he has shown among the
brightest writer's in the west. He had
espoused the cause of many political
parties in his varied career, but for the
last twenty-five years was a republican
of the stalwart type, and as such made
speeches in many states. None had a
bigger heart than he and his memory
will remain enshrined in the recollection
of many old ind faithful friends.

Hon. A. j. Gronna, who according to

political history of Nelson county he first
bobbed up, only turning republican
