w. B. Vaughn, we are told, will
erect a commodious factory on
the north side of the track this
summer for the manufacture of
cement blocks. Mr.. Vaughn makes
all kinds Of hollow and solid blocks,
and the increasing demand for
this building material renders it
necessary for him to have better
facilities. His factory will be
constructed Of cement blocks, on
the theory that it is a poor doctor
who won't take his own medicine.
Cement blocks, with staggered
air spaces, make the ideal wall

The Fargo News is making a
plea for more trees, and says: eff
North Dakota had an average of
ten acres of trees to every quar-
ter section of land the dry spell
that has been experienced would
have done comparatively little
damage. free planting is some
thing that should not only be urged
in season, but out of season as
we'll. 1t should be urged all the
year around, and this planting
should included a large number Of
the hard varieties The argu.
ment of the News is good, but,
just the same, the Golden Valley
doesn't appear to have been
affected, so far, Notwithstanding
the fact that it is practically with
out trees, those planted being SO
small that they couldn't possibly
add anything to the humidity of
the locality. The region that was
once despised is now the garden
spot Of the state.

than to place this train at the SER
vice of the Agriculture! College
and the Farmers Institute. He also
spoke of the matter Of soils, which
he has given very thorough study,
and no one is better authority on
this subject in North Dakota.
He spoke of the way that the
soils had been formed from the
grinding up and disintegration
of rock and that the value of the
soil was determined by the kind
Of rocks it had come from and
also the process it had gone
through in it's formation. A
glaciated soil is as rule a fertile
one, and again a soil that has been
formed where the rainfall is not
excessive contains more plant food
than does soils that have had the
plant food washed out of them by
heavy rains soaking through them.
He also spoke Of the glacier that
had swept down across the state
from Canada and stated that as
it came down across the border it
had brought down the best soil
from Canada and distributed it
over North Dakota, which makes
the soils of this state doubly rich.
Prof. C. B. Waldron then gave
discussion on trees, emphasizing
the fact that trees offer a great
protection to home on the prai-
rie, that they make it home-like
and that they can also serve as
source Of revenue. In fact he cited
cases Of white willow productions
that had brought in an annual
income of $1,000 per acre. Also
in the same connection it was
interesting to note that the box
elder growth brought an income
of only SIS per acre per year.
He said that the state was very we'll
adapted to the growing of fine
trees and especially the bull pine
and predicted the state would be
a great pine growing region. The
blue spruce, and Hills spruce are
also very hardy evergreens. The
birch is another tree that does
very we'll. is hardy, and produces
a valuable timber. Elm will do
we'll but is valued principally for
shade trees The ash is good
but makes rather a slow growth
at first. The cottonwood is all
right where the watertable is
quite near the surface, otherwise
it does not live very long nor make
very satisfactory growth.

c. A. johnson
For Governor
POPULAR Minot Man Will Make the
Run for Chief Executive Under
Greatly Improved Conditions

C. A. johnson of Minot, who
defeated the Insurgent warhorse,
Treadwell Twichell, by 1900
votes last year and carried every
county in the state with the excep-
tion of two, will again make the
race for governor. The strong
run he made as the republican NOM
inee against John Burke, who had
only served one term. showed him
to be leader who had the back
ing of $4,000 faithful republicans.
The belief of so many repub-
licans. that one term deserves an
other, gave John Burke many re-
publican votes that would have
otherwise gone to Johnson ordin.
arily. These people had nothing
against Mr.. johnson and although
they would have liked to have vot-
ed for him. followed their con.
victions in the second term idea.
These people will come back to
Mr.. johnson this year and will
help make him governor.
In Ward county there were four
county division fights on with
the probability Of all of them
carrying. Each proposition had
deals made with John Burke to an.
point a certain town the temper.
airy county seat and the whole
string of county officers, from sher.
if to constable. 1t is easy to sec
what this meant and under these
conditions it is no surprise tina,
Ward county went for Burke.

A nice how-do-you-do. this pri-
mary election mess. But consider
ing how busy the states attorney
has been in prosecuting the Chron-
icle editor at county expense
there is some excuse for his
neglect in looking after the hold
ing of a primary election. The
putting Of the Chronicle editor
behind the bars is more important
to-Mr. Keohane-and few tax
payers than half dozen pri-
mary elections. 1t is only right
that Mr.. Keohane should look af-
ter the important matters first.

For Auditor -..Chas. Harkins

Next Wednesday the voters of
Billings county will select man
to act as county auditor for the
next two years. 1t is not nec-
essary at this time to comment on
the shortcomings of the present
incumbent, j. A. McGregor, who
is candidate for reelection.
Aside from his personal record
and reputation, he is utterly un-
fit for the position.
Billings county at present is
one of the largest counties in the
tate and the business in the aud
itor's office demands an able, hon.
est and conscientious official-one
who has the ability, the honesty
and the sense of duty to perform
the work in that Office in bust
ness-like manner. The present
ENHANCEMENT over the primary
notices, which may cost the county
an enormous sum before it is set.
tied. is an example of what can be
expected with unfit men in office.
The volume Of business now done
in ali the county Offices demands
efficient officers. The time has
gone by when Tom, Dick or Harry
can run the affairs of the county.
1t is about time a good stiff
broom was used in the auditor
office and its present occupant
swept out into private life where
his mistakes and carelessness will
not be detriment to every tax
payer in the county.
A large number of Beachites
and citizens from other parts of
the county, realizing the awful
shape ard careless manner in
which the auditors office is be.
ing conducted, persuaded Chas.
Harkins. one of our aldermen and
local manager of the Dacotah
Lumber company, to become a can.
didate, and he entered the race al
the last minute. so to speak. Mr.
Harkins has been with the above
company for a number of years
as bookkeeper and about a yea
ago was given charge of the com
pany's large business at thi
point. His long experience il
the business world, and clerica
position which he mas held. Civ
him just the qualifications needed
to properly handle the difficult off:
of auditor. His standing with tn
Dacotah company is his best rec
commentator. He has a YER
large circle of friends in Beac
and nearly every business man j
the town will vouch for his abb
ity. In fact, it was these sam
business men who secured his col
sent to accept the office if elected
The fact that he was chosen :
one of Beach's four citizens to a
as an alderman, is in itself got
recommendation. He is the me-
for the office and will make ;
excellent official in every way.
you have the welfare of the c,u
ty and the taxpayers interests
heart you should vote next We
nesday to place MIR fIarkins in Il

The Chronicle believes it is tin

present primary election entang!
ment and want efficient men

Money for Tuberculosis Work.

money to' u1S' S"'0
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of tuberculosis
gives forcible illustration of the way
in which a small sum spent In educa-
ton has secured large appropriations
from state, county, and municipal Of
ficials. The New York State Chart
ties Aid association in the three years,
1908, 1909, and 1910, has spent IN the
upstate portion of New York ABOUT
s55 5000 in arousing the people to the
! dangers of tuberculosis. AS direct
result of the public sentiment pro-
duced by this outlay, the state, coun-
| ty, and municipal authorities have al
ready appropriated for tuberculosis
work s1,50O,O00 and appropriations for
hundreds Of thousands 'of dollars are
pending. Hundreds Of hospital beds
! have been provided, and the assocla
. ton already aims for mo Uncared-fol
tuberculosis In 1915"
+ Thus, the National association say
if 100000 is realized from the sal'
:: of Red Cross seals, millions more vii
: be added to It from the public treas
uries. Last year 25,00O,O00 stamp
were sold. It is aimed to sell fou
times as many this year.

Mr.. olsen's Offer Must Have Come AS

deceased was very docile and valu'
able ANIMAL" said the claim agent IN
his most persuasive claim-agentleman-
ly manner, land we sympathlze with
you and your family in your loss. But
Mr.. Olsen, you must remember TINS:
Your cow had no business being upon
our tracks. Those tracks are our prl"
vate aproperty and when she invaded
them she became a trespasser. Tech
nically speaking, you, as her owner
became q trespasser also. But We
have no desire to carry the issue into
