WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 26
The public's old friend, Shir
Subsidy Bill, has bobbed UP again
at the back door of congress
"Bill" is disguised as an homes,
workingman these days, and all
he asks is a job carrying foreign
mails at fair wages, and on the
dead quiet to help out his much
abused fellow workingman. j.
Pierpont Morgan, with a free"
ship section.
It's this way about the free
ship" matter:
Present navigation laws do not
permit Americans who buy foreign
built ships to have them register
ed as American or to fly the
American flag over them. Such
ships must be more than half re-
built here before they are admit
ted to American registry. Oppon-
ents of a shipping subsidy have
attacked previous bills with a de-
mand for free ships" or, in 9TH
er words, the free admission of
ships built abroad and purchased
by Americans to American regis
try.
This year the subsidy advocates,
with an air of making the last
great concession, declared that
they would stand for free ships"
and write that in their bills. This
apparent change of front seemed
remarkable, because the subsidy
argument most emphasized has
been the prophecy that American
dockyards would hum with con-
struction, and give work to thous-
ands of American workmen, if
their bill ever passed. Such a re-
suit, they said, was the main pur-
pose of their effort.
An examination of the "free
ship" clause in this bill shows a
limit on its operation to steel ships
of $500 tons and over. 1t now
appears that j. p. Morgan has
some 125 ships which he is anx-
ious to put unoer American reg
istry, and they are all steel ships
of $500 or more tons. They are
the ships of the White Star, Red
Star, Leyland and Atlantic Trans
port lines.
Mr.. Morgan is anxious to secure
American registry for these ships
of his because England has altered
her laws relating to seamen re-
Gently, to the very great advant-
age of the seamen. The work
mems compensation act, for in
stance, requires a shipowner to
pay three years wages to the
widow or children of a seaman
whose death occurs in service.
England has recently required an
increase in the number of sailors
per cent, and an enlargement of
the quarters they occupy. Inspec-
lions of the quality and quantity

regulations which make opera.
tion under the British flag more
expensive for Mr.. Morgan's ships
than would be operation under the
American flag.

1t was about this time that the
Tenderfoot came to the Gulch. The
Tenderfoot was four feet ten, tan
haired. freckled like a robins egg,
and 105-pound beam-tipper. He
possessed voice thin and
screechy like gate a-creaking,
and he confessed to being afraid
to go home In the dark.
Tin-foot was the first to discov-
er how nimbly the Tenderfoot
could dance to revolver music atop
the Jolly Prospector bar, and It
soon became the chief pastime
of the camp to set the little Ten
derfoot to dancing, everywhere,
at all times-until one day the
queen happened along and COM
PEELED them to desist.
But the Tenderfoot, who had
hitherto sat quietly around listen
ing to the loud talk of the others,
proved suddenly hard to locate.
Then loops, the Texan, reported
that the little fellow had been
calling of nights at the queens
piney shack palace. This was re-
garded as the biggest joke of the
season, and the gang adjourned
to the Jolly Prospector to irrigate
into proper appreciation of 1t.

awkwardly and fearfully beside
Miss Winslow, falling off ON occa-

her to pistol practice, jumping
and crying Ouch" at each shot;
when, In short, he began to mono

Bismarck, June 4, 1910. Crops gen

but rain is beginning to be badly
needed. Servings of Macaronl Wheat
show falling off from last season.

ordinary hard varieties. Cold wealth

weather conditions a rapid growth

last year and planting all completed
Cass County.
Casselton, June 4, 1910. Crop con-
[ditions very favorable although from
two to three weeks backward owing
TO late season. Cool weather has
given a splendid stand in all small
grains. Corn planting we'll along ana

that could be desired.
Cavalier County.
Langdon, June 4, 1910. Rain dur
ing last few days over greater portlon
of county has improved conditions
somewhat, and with warmer weather
crops would develop rapidly, ALTHOUGH
frost and especially wind have hurt
them to some extent. In some III
stances farmers are re-seedlng barley
but amount is small compared to tota

put same would be welcome.

No freezing temperature.

New Rockford, June 4, 1910. Wheat
and oats are looking fairly good with
exception of some of the very early
sown wheat which seems to have been
injured somewhat by early freezing.
Cold weather has retarded crops but
favorable weather will induce rapid
growth. Local showers have helped
somewhat, but general rain is
needed. Early planted potatoes are
doing we'll. Owing to cold weather
not much corn has been planted.
Flax acreage will be an increase over

Nelson County.
Lakota, June 4, 1910. High winds,
cool weather and frosts have kept
wheat stationary the past week. Late
sown shows the best though some OF
the very early has good color. That

covery. Scattered showers yesterday
and today have improved conditions.
Oats and barley damaged some by
cold weather and frosts, but favor
able weather will easily lead to aver

Seeding will be continued until the

Potatoes set back by frost but not
