Russia has not figured extensively

seems to have ambitions In that direc-
ton. Reports from Tiflis are to the eff
feet that the area sown to cotton this
year is double that of 1909. In one dis
trict 400 acres are devoted to the
stape. That is tiny fraction of the
total in the United States, but high
prices have stimulated cotton growing
wherever practicable, and the aggre-
gate result may be a substantial gain

1t is stated that the recent missile

that the missile really drops from the

The latest government report is adj
dftionally favorable to a big wheat
crop. The. returns, as interpreted by
the skilled statistician of the New

tai harvest of 702, 4O4, 900 bushels,
against an indication for the same
time last year of 652,351, 900 bushels.
The estimate for 1909 fell below the
actual result, for the total yield last
year was 737.159, 900 bushels. Should
there be similar excess this year there
will be a good chance for a record

RUSHING WORK
ON new 500 ROAD
CONTRACTOR TO START WORK
ON THE MEDFoRD TO DRAKE
LINE-EsMoNp WILL BE
PASSED UP.

Esmond, N. D., April 2o.--M. L.
Patterson of this place, returned home
from Mandan and reports that two
contractors, Miles Peterson and w. G.
Marshall, are to ship today from Man
dan to Drake, to begin the work of
grading the new Drake to Medford line
of the 500. Mr.. Peterson has the con-
tract for grading the first twelve
miles out of Drake and Mr.. Marshall
has the contract for the second twelve
miles. The latter has been working
on Northern Pacific grades west Of
the Missouri river and wintered there.
He has sixty horses and two grading
machines.
This twenty-four miles of grade will
bring the line to the vicinity of Girard
Lake, in Pierce county, where there
will probably be a new town of con-
siderable size.
AS evidencing the haste with which
this new line of the 500 will be built
it is said that the profits Of the road
has not yet been furnished to the
graders, but the surveyors will be busy
at work on it, just ahead Of the grad
ers.
Somewhere in Pierce county, prob
ably further east than Girard Lake,
there will be new town with con-
siderable territory to draw from, being
probably about eighteen miles south
of Rugby, the county seat.
The new line will pass through a
fine farming country, which hereto
fore has had rather inadequate rail-
road facilities.
Southern Pierce county is particu-
larly fortunate this year, with two
new lines of railroad clear across the
county, for the new line Of the Great
Northern from Fargo to Minot passes
just south Of Antelope lake, in Pierce
county. The two new lines will prob
ably cross somewhere near the bound
airy line between Pierce and Nc
Henry counties.
Some Esmond business men are
planning to have branch lines of bust
ness in the new towns on the 500,
which it had been hoped would pass
through Esmond, but which now seems
likely to be a few miles to the
north.
Esmond's present large territory will
be cut into some by those two new
lines, as the Great Northern CUTOFF
will be only about twelve miles south,
and the 500 line not over eight miles
north. No serious detriment to the
town is expected however, for lie new
towns can hardly ever be as large as
Esmond, which now has nearly nine
years the start of them, and will still
have a larger territory than they.
And the benefit to the country as a
whole will more than offset any falling
off, say in grain marketing, at Esmond,
by reason of elevators being built in
the new towns. There will be a great
er acreage broken, and more new resi-
| dents added, so that the business
should increase rather than decrease

HINTS ABOUT THE HOME.
BY Eose Terrell.

Have you been wearing a nigh stock
all winter? And have you an ugly
brown mark around your neck as a
preparation for the low, collarless
blouse which is going to be worn this
summer? If this is so it is time for
you to get to work.
A mixture of lemon and borax will
help to whiten, while good cold cream
should be used every night If the ugly
mark still remains, try spOnging with
peroxide of hydrogen. Before using
the peroxyde wash thoroughly with
green soap and dry carefully with a
soft linen cloth. A good complexion
brush should he used If the neck is
rough or scaly from contact with the
collar.

Alexander, N. D., April 29.-Mc-
Kenzie county people have become
exceedingly anxious to secure the en-
trance of the 500 railroad into this
territory. At the present time a pc
tition is being drawn up On the coun-
ty which will be signed by nearly ev-
cry resident and in which the road
will be asked to run line here. This
country is still without railroad IA
cilities and the first line to reach this
section is assured of a tremendous
business. 1t is the hope of local peo-
pie that the new Ryder extension to
Elbowoods be continued across the
