old RlVERMAN TALKS
Of THE PI0NEERDAYS

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 8.-Capt.
NJ. l.. Mccormack, well known old
timer, visited in the city this week
for the first time in number of years.
The captain recalled some of the in.
cilents of the early days after his
arrival here in April, 1871, the growth
of the steamboat business on the river,
the important place that catfish played
on the bill Of fare in the early days,
and said the captain with smile, II
see they still serve it, but christen
it fresh Goldfish" Speaking of navi.
eating the Red, he said: Il have been
marking the river conditions for
nearly forty years, and l have never
before seen the river so low as it is
now. This is unfortunate and should
be remedied, and think splendid
subject for consideration at the con-
servation congress in St. Paul would
be the question Of storing the surplus
water in the spring in all of the nat
ural storage basins and by series
of locks and dams at the headwaters
of such streams as the Red so that
the waters held in reserve could be re.
leased as needed to keep the river
navigable throughout the season.
And" he continued, this might lie
accomplished If more practical river
men and fewer politicians were sent to

HARVESTING lNIFRfERES
With The RAILROAD WORK

jamestown, N. D., Aug. 8.-WOrk of
the railroad graders between tho
James river and the city limits on
the Midland line is beginning to show
up in fine shape, and indicates the
extent of the work being done on the
grade north Of the river. About eighty
teams are busy at work, and number
have temporarily left on account of
harvesting. In a short time these
teams and an additional force besides
are expected to return. The work of
grading is pretty hard on the horses
owing to the height of the grade to
which the dirt is being moved from q
level prairie. The dry weather has
the ground is hard and requires a man
riding on the beam of the blow to
keep the share in the ground. The
wind and dust also make the work
somewhat disagreeable. Work on the
big coulee south Of the river has been
temporarily suspended, and the entire
force Of men at that point moved
north to work on the grade into the
city. The work on the big coulee was
suspended waiting the arrival Of the
required machinery for expediting this
class Of grading. The machinery has
now arrived and it is expected that
grading will be resumed on the coulee
fill, which is about half completed.
= The graders camp just southeast of
the city presents lively scene each
day. Two wells of good water have
been secured by driving points to a
depth Of twenty-eight feet. A large
amount Of water is used by the stock.
There are three boarding cars and nu-
merous tents and temporary stables.
A number Of pigs are kept in a pen
near the barns and are being fattened
from scraps and slops of the boarding
cars on the Midland grade south Of
the city.

ADVANTAGES OF GOOD
farming IS shown

Jamestown, N. D., Aug. San in
spection OF different fields of corn
around the city shows the advantages
of dry farming methods. In a num-
Der of fields where the ground has
been cultivated sufficiently and the
surface kept broken and free of weeds
the growth of corn is as good as could
he expected, in an ordinary crop year.
Other fields adjoining, under the same
conditions of soil and moisture, are
practically burned out and the corn
of little use for any purpose.
Dry farming means a good yield Of
crops in dry years, and better yield
in years that are not dry.
The same is found to be true in the
raising Of vegetables. Repeated cult
walton and stirring the top soil pre-
vents the evaporation of moisture, and
gardens where this has been done this
summer are found where the moist
earth will yet cling to a spade, hoe or
pillow, and no rain has fallen to mois-
ten the under surface since the early
part of June.

FIRST Yield COMES
TO SEVEN BUSHELS

jamestown, N. D., Aug. S.-The first
threshing reported in this vicinity was
from the farm of Vincent Mathezick,
near Bloom. The field was velvet
chaff wheat, about fifty acres in ex-
tent, and appeared to be about the
best stand of wheat in that locality.
1t was cut early and the threshing
machine showed small yield, about
seven bushels to the acre. This is
somewhat disappointing, as it was ex-
pected that larger yield would be
found.
