Flax a Good Crop This Year.

McClusky Gazette: Fred West
sold his flax last week at $2.O8.
Fred's $50 bushels brought the
tidy sum of $1,1OO-the product
of forty-five acres of breaking.
Fred's farm lies among fertile
loan covered coteaus that will in
few years prove its productive
superiority over more level tracts.
The fertility is natural apparent
to any student of geology, know
ing that the frozen artic river that
covered this country ages ago,
scraped the top soil from what is
now called the Dominion of Can
ada, and carried and scattered it
over this, and finally, stopped by
the suns heat, it melted, dumping
its richest deposits of derbis at its
terminal moraines-the coteaus of
the Dakotas. Take a handful
of soil (derbis) beneath magnify
ing glass and see it as minute rock
PARTICLES; pulverized, eroded and
weathered. When this rolling
country is all under cultivation, it's
moisture conserving feature will
make it the most productive, stable
and crop-sure of this rich agri-
cultural state.

The following was clipped from
the obituary notice in the Tribune:
Laura received her early education
in the common schools and came
to Bismarck in the fall of 1901,
and entered the high school, COM
pleting the full four year Latin
course, and graduated in 1905.
She was an excellent student and
was particularly strong in the
mathematical and scientific branch
es. She ranked among the first
four in her class. Her strongly
marked qualities were her persist
ent application and fidelity to
duty. She united with the Pres
byterian church when first coming
to the city and was as faithful to
the services of the church and it's
affiliated societies as she was in
her school work. She made her
home while in the city with Mr..
and Mrs. G. A. Burton.

PREPARATION TO
OPEN BERTHOLD
Gang Of Twenty Government Engin-
eers at work on Reservation
Contains Good Land.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 21.-
from Palermo comes the interest
news that a gang of about twenty
men in the government employ,
with a liberal supply of provisions
have been taken from Palermo to
Fort Berthold reservation, where
they are to begin surveying the
government land preparatory to its
opening for settlement.
An arrangement having, been ar
rived at between the reservation
Indians, it is proposed to open the
land for settlement.
The Fort Berthold reservation
contains some of the best tillage
land in the state of North Dakota,
and great things are looked for
ward to in anticipation of the
event. The opening of this land
will be of vast benefit to Noun
trail county, as it will, in all prob
ability, be part thereof, and Pal
ermo will be one of the first COM
mercial points to reap the primary
results since it is the town on the
Great Northern most convenient
for earlier purposes of settlement.
It is also the best trading point
within reach of the land to be
opened. Palermo is also the point
of most direct and convenient
communication with the reserva-
tion agency at Elbowoods
w. D. Wheeler of Minneapolis,
is in charge of the expedition, and
said: 1--WE are going to start sur
veying the Berthold reservation. !"
The work Of this season of the
year will be largely of prepara-
tory nature, such as swamping and
taking general bearings, with the
actual location of points and sub
divisions to begin in the spring.
MIR. Wheeler further said that
the opening will take place as soon
as the surveying is done.

A Pointer for the Governors.

usefulness that should commend
the plan to the American States.
The Canadian law is extremely
simple. In its essence 1t provides
merely for publicity. Before a
strike or a lockout can oe declared
the parties must submit their
grievances to a Commission upon
which the government has one
representative. The Commission
has the power to subpoena witness
es and compel testimony. Expert.
ence has shown that often before
the Commission reports a settle
ment is agreed upon, and the
strike or lockout is off. After the
Commission reports, the work
men may strike OF the employers
may lock their men out if they
wish, They have lost no. rights
by the investigation. But usually.
one side or the other has lost pub
lie support and is willing to. settle
on a fair compromise.

enough to see that many labor
troubles ere fomented by misun.

good size and quality, also feed
costs, and the results that I will
give you are approximately cor
rect.
Our winter care of stock follows
closely that Of most farmers. We
put up about 500 loads Of hay
which is fed to the cattle only in
the barns at night. The labor
cost of putting up hay runs from
70 cents to 80 cents a load. We
stack in the yards the fodder se-
cured from about 100 acres of
corn. This corn stacked ready for
use, costs us from 1925 to $2.75 a
load.
In the daytime the cattle run to
straw stacks in the. yards and are
fed some corn fodder on the
ground. As a rule, we do not aim
to keep our grade in cattle in more
than fair condition through the
winter, but try to secure a slight
gain on the entire bunch of twenty
five to fifty pounds a head. The
pure,bred cattle are tied up and
given different feeding. All the
grade run loose in barns and sheds
and are sorted according to age.
Every barn is cleaned and well
bedded three times a week. The
spring calves are put in one shed
and these are fed literally with
hay once day, about four quarts
of ground feed and bran. Calves
do we'll on this feed. The late fall
and winter calves are not weaned
in the fall but are left with their
dams and are fed similarly
This year we have about seventy
five calves.
In the spring the stock is herded
in the fields till pastures are good.
Our pastures are large and con-
tain about five acres for each
head, which assures plenty of
grass.

BOOZE DISPENS-
ARlES0N THE GO
Gets Promise Of Bankers to Refuse
to Accept Bills Of Lading on
. Liquor.

La Moure, N. d., Jan. 24.-In
order to escape the federal regula.
tions, booze dispensaries have
framed up the idea of sending bills
of lading to the banks and protect
ing themselves in that way. But
there is trouble in that quarter.
No self-respecting bank cares for
that kind of business, and public
sentiment is arrayed against that
sort of accommodation.
In this county States Attorney
Geo. P. Jones has taken the initi-
ative by issuing a circular address
sed to the banking institutions of
the county, asking them to refuse
to be Intermediates between the
wholesale liquor dealers and their
customers. From the replies he is
receiving it appears that his re-
quest was gratuitous, but it shows
that sentiment is right. Mr.. Jones
wrote as follows:
"Dear Sirs: The national con-
gress recently passed a law pro-
hibiting the express companies
from doing a G. o. D. business in
intoxicating liquors. The law
went into effect on the first of this
year. Practically the only way
the liquor houses ca n
evade this law is to ship goods on
bills of lading and have the bust.
ness carried on by the banks, and
| am requesting all the banks in
La Moure county to refuse abso.
lutely to handle any bills of lading
for booze shipments Now, there
is no money in these things for
the bank, as you know; in fact,
they are only nuisance. And if
you turn them down on the start
you will have no further trouble.
If the parties who desire liquor
cannot get it through the @. O. D.
or bill of lading route they will
have to send their money direct to
the house or else establish credit
at the wholesale house, and I be-
lieve that a strict enforcement of
the @. O. D. law and compliance
with this request on the part of
the banks will greatly lessen the
amount of Intoxicating liquor
which will come into this county.
Il trust that you can see your
way clear to comply with this re-
quest. All the bankers I have
seen have signified their intention
to do so. Please let me hear from
you. GEO. P. JONES,
Estates Attorney"

SIOUX FALLS, S, D., April 12.-(special)
Reports from points on the Pacific coast
extension OF the Chicago, Milwaukee st.
Paul railway In the extreme northwestern
portion OF the state are to the effect that
for some little time past there has been
great influx OF new settlers to Lennon
and other points along the new line. AT
one time a few days ago there were be-
tween Mobridge and Lennon a total Of
800 cars loaded with the effects OF the new
settlers who were destined TO points In the
vicinity Of Lennon and other new towns
along the railroad extension. Traffic is so
heavy on the line that the railway COM
pany has difficulty in securing a sufficient
number Of locomotives to pull the trains
through, and freight shipments conse-
auently are greatly delayed. There is a
very encouraging outlook for the new set
tiers. The ground is In excellent oondi-
ton and crop prospects could not well be
brighter than they are at present. Great
areas OF virgin prairie land is being broken
and this season will be devoted to crops for
the first time. In this breaking process
scores Of immense power breaking outfits
are being utilized, ana they are turning
