A Washington dispatch to the Douglas Dispatch from Ralph Cam eron says: "I can confidently state tonight that Arizona will be admitted to statehood not later than February IS. It will not surprise me to see the enabling act passed by the senate be- fore the first of February. There will be no delay when it reaches President Taft All opposition in the senate has ceased. The action of the honse was of course intensely gratifying to me. While regret statehood was not accomplished at the short session last winter, I feel that the people oi Ari- zona will overlook the delay in the quick triumph now assured

Great Northern Looks for About

Business on the Great Northern,
especially in Minot isn't bad," said
w. c. McHugh, general agent for the
company, to an Independent reporter.
Where we may lose one way, we will
make up another. For instance, we
will ship no wheat out of Minot this
year. What is raised around here
will be either retained for seed OF
ground into flour in the local mills.
on the other hand we will ship
in manv cars OF feet, that in
ordinary years would have been
raised here. think about as
much fax will be shipped out as
usual. We are at present shipping in
five cars of new potatoes a week to
Minot, and these are sent out over
the Northwest by the local wholesal-
ers.3 We will have plenty of pota-
toes, but they are late, and will not
be ready for the markets for some
time" .-

SURREY WHEAT 80 &
BUSHELS PER ACRE
Chas. r. Eaton Shows What Gooe
Farming Can Do In q Season
Of Poor Crops.

Chas. F. Eeaton Of Surrey is one
Of the happiest farmers we have seen
this year He is cutting large Held
Of wheat near Surrey this week and
it is estimated that the field Will aver
age from 80 to 80 bushels per acre.
G. E. Dresher insists that the wheat
will go 80 bushels easily, while Dave
shorb says he is certain that 80 bush
els will not be far out Of the way /.
Mr.. Eaton says a fair estimate tells
him that he will thresh 7,40O bushels
OF the finest kind Of wheat from the
field. He has eight binders at work
this week, and as many men shocking
and will take no chances of losing any
Of It. 1.-s. 3d. .@ ,..
This seed ought to remain in this
country, and the farmers will no
doubt not be slow in swapping it up.
The seed was sown on nearly all new
ground, worked up like nonion bed :.
Mr.. Aaton superintended the work on
the farm and gave his men instruc-
tions to spare no pains. He dragged
it until his men thought he was do
ing unnecessary work and he sowed
good and deep. He always sows un-
treated wheat at the rate Of four
pecks to the acre, but when he treats
it, he sows six pecks. The seed that
he sows was bred up we'll, being the
result Of four crops, all sown on new
land. It seems that there is some
thing to seed breeding after all.
Mr.. Eaton has had a picture of the
field taken and also secured a pho
tograph of field Of eighty acres .
mile from there upon which is stand
ing one lone shock of grain.

Many Cows Have
~ tuberculosis
WHILE MANY FARMERS ARE NOT IN
SYMPATHY WITH THE TEST, AFTER
A LITTLE THOUGHT THEY SHOULD
CONSIDER IT A GOOD THING

For the benefit of some of the peo-
pie who are selling milk the city
OF Minot, many of whom misunder.
stand the ordinance regarding same.
we refer them to either DR.. Pence or
DR.. Seed, who will be glad to explain
the matter.
Nearly all of the larger herds Of
milk COWS furnishing milk to the city
have been tested and several COWS
have been found which have tubercu.
ldsis.
These have been placed In quaran-
tine and may be killed subject to vet
erinary inspection.
Some people have objected to the
test but in most cases after the OBJ
ject of the test is recognized and the
benefits to all realized there has been
no trouble. Some have been misin-
formed as to the reasons for testing
expense, etc., for instance there has
been report circulated that tests
would be required once each month at
an expense of SO per head, which Is
of course absurd.
Anyone desiring to dispose of milk
or cream in Minot will do well to
read the ordinance carefully and con-
fer with the health commissioner or
dairy inspector for further information
Most people will concede the benefits
derived from the tuberculin test. One
herd Of over dozen COWS, which has
been furnishing milk here, was recent
ly examined and practically every COW
was found to be tubercular.
Think what it would mean to have
your babies drink milk from a herd
Of this character. Sale Of milk from
these has been stopped, they have
been quarantined and later they will
probably be shipped east and slaught-
cred subject to the government in.
spection.
We have obtained samples Of milk
from some of the retail dealers, and
while most Of them show percentage
Of butter fat up to the requirements
of the ordinance, which is 31-2 per
cent, and which is low enough, still
some samples obtained have shown a.
low as "a per cent. The health de-
partment is quite well satisfied with
conditions SO far. Much good has
been done, but much more can be &C
complished. Many people report that
their supply of milk is better and
cleaner, and it is certainly gratifying
to note how some OF the dairy men
have cleaned up their premises.
