COMING GREATNESS
FOR The VALLEY
TIDE OF IMMIGRATION, WHICH
HAS BEEN POURING OVER BEST
LANDS IN COUNTRY TO GO TO
BETTER ADVERTISED LANDS,
WILL TURN.

Bathgate Pink Paper: Some of our
neighbors seems to feel quite badly
because the population Of this county
has decreased three thousand during
the past decade. Free lands in Can
ada and the alurement Of fruit lands
of the west has caused us this loss.
1t has frequently been the case in the
history Of early settlements of coun-
tries that the tiIe OF immigration
pours on over sections Of the greatest
promise and worth to flock to much
advertised places, of less natural adj
vantages.
Such was the case in southern Min
nesota and the lands there were not
selling higher than in many new sec
lions and for a number of years there
was no sale for even the choicest
farms. Then the tide turned and
southern Minnesota is now one OF the
high priced farming sections Of the
country and one Of the most produc-
tive.
No one claims that our soil Is not
among the most productive in the
world. There is plenty OF rain fall
and the crop results in our county
can but reassure our people and all
who inquire into the facts that there
was something overlooked in the rush
for the west, when they passed Penn
bina county and the Red river valley.
Few places in the north rank with
this section in crop producing posi-
bilities. This year the elevator men
will tell you, and IL is considered a
drought. year all through the state,
that wheat receipts I'm Pembina coun-
ty have been as large as last year.
Then, while we have not the figures to
prove 1t, we have no doubt that the
shipments Of clover and timothy hay
from the county will exceed that Of all
Of the balance Of the state.
Timothy is a splendid success and
the same with clover and where clover
can be successfully and cheaply grown,
pork can be produced at the lowest
cost Corn is grown on large acre.
age in this county, and while 1t does
not always ripen as well as might be
desired it makes a first quality en-
silage and produce the greatest
amount of feed for horned stock oil
any kind Of fodder.
A few years ago wheat was king
but now it has many little princes
competing for it's crown. Seven
creameries in this small county, in
dicates that the farmer is turning his
attention to stock, to a considerable
extent. The fowl cars which have
carried whole car loads of chickens
ducks, turkeys and geese to eastern
markets indicate another source o.
revenue from the farms.
These changes take time but they
are the things which will restore to
Pembina county and the other valley
counties their prestige for fertility and
production. Already the immigrant IS
turning to these older sections of the
state and in a few years the large
amount of land held by spectators
will become the holdings of actual
farmers who will repeople our county
and bring it to its own.

Who Will Be The
new DEPUTIES?
MANY RUMoRs ARE AFLoAT AS
TO WHO WILL HAVE THE
PLACES.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 23-There
will be a general Encouragement of
clerks and deputies at the state capt.
toll when the new year and the new
officers come in. IT is generally un-
derstood that Warren d. Austin, now
deputy state treasurer, will be the
new deputy insurance commissioner,
and that his place in the money de-
partment win be taken by Capt Thos.
Tharaldsan OF Grafton, when Olson
takes charge OF the office.
O. T. Rishoff, editor Of The Milton
Globe, has been mentioned as the
deputy secretary of state under p. d.
Norton, but there are rumors that
there are other applicants for the
place who have strong recommended
tons from leading members Of the
party.
Carlos Jorgenson will probably be
retained as deputy in the auditor s
Office under Brightbill.
There have been no rumors Of any
changes in the governors office and
p Z. Byrne, who has acted as private
secretary will undoubtedly be retain
ed, and VIM. Burke will be the stem
ographer.
The clerk of the supreme court Is
appointed by the court and holds al
their pleasure. r. d. Hoskins has
been clerk since the court was organ
ICED when the state was formed and
there will be no change there.
w. d. Wolbert is deputy in the Of
fee Of commissioner Of agriculture
and labor and it is understood that
he will hold until next summer when
he may retire Of his own accord but
as Gilbreath has made no promises
there can be no predictions made as
to the possible appointee.
Unless Alfred Zuger is appointed
district judge in the Fifth district
there will be no change in the attor.
ney generals office so far as the as
sistants are concerned. In case Zugel
lands the appointment it is thought
Judge Carmody will be appointed al
his successor.
Thos. Hall will undoubtedly be con.
tinued as secretary Of the railroad
commission.
There is no line to be given on thu
appointments to be made by Governor
Burke.

RAW FORGERY
GAME WORKED

Forman, N. D., Dec. 2S.-Monday
morning the First National bank de-
tected the forgery of a check that had
gone through the regular routine of
business from the State bank Of Cogs-
well. The check was a very poor
forgery and the haste with which the
cashing was done was the only pos
sible excuse for its having gone
through. The check was for $4S. 40,
made payable to and endorsed by
Adelbert Putnam, and signed by Frank
Argersinger. At just train time about
a week ago a young man about 20
years of age, rushed in to the Cogs-
well State bank, and saying he was in
a hurry asked to have the check
cashed. Cashier Hero Taylor believ-
ing the face to be familiar asked him
who he was and he said carl Nell
son, from two miles east Of Forman.''
He endorsed the check and received
the money. All the signatures were
rank forgeries, and detected imme-
diately when the check arrived here.

BUILDING RAPIDLY.

Reeder Has Shown Splendid Growth
In Last Year.
Reeder, N. D., Dec. 22-Active build
ing operations in Reeder during the
last season have been on a very broad
basis, as is shown by a resume OF
the last years record. In the year one
new bank building, a farmers eleva-
tor, a new hotel, church and about
forty new residences have been con-
structed, indicating the citys growth
during that period.
While the late season was not as
good as had been expected, the fact
that the crop conditions were not az
good as might be hoped for, having
the effect of cutting down the ex-
penditures, It is anticipated that next
years work, will be very much greater
because of this temporary delay.
