Spring Work To
Start On Missouri
B. F. Warren Says The Farmers
Are At Work Between Mi
not And Bismarck.

Minot, N. D., March 13.-B. F.
Warren returned yesterday from a
three days. trip down the line to
the towns between here and Bis
marck, and he says one would be
surprised to see how the snow has
disappeared during that time.
"The striped gophers are out
down by the Missouri river" said
he, "but they are very busy gather
ing dry grass to build new beds for
the next lap of winter that is sure
to come after this warm weather.
Coming down the line between
Dogden and Ruso we saw farmer
out narrowing with four horses and
he was doing good job too. He
was just putting into operation the
lessons he had learned at the dry
farming lecture which he heard at
Minot during the past winter and
that is to harrow your land plenty
and do it early and late to pre-
serve the moisture.
Some of us wanted to stop the
train and learn the farmers name,
and Conductor Anderson was will
ing. Public Admin istrator Rovey
was on board, just returning from
Max, where he had superintended
the raising of the remains of man
who had fallen into a we'll some
time last week, and he was hasten
ing to Minot, and our honorable
county official would not allow the
train to be stopped and for that
reason we did not get the name of
that very progressive and energet-
lc farmer"

With Last Legislature

"At least one important thing
has been accomplished during the
session Of the Legislature just clos

Burdick of Williston in an inter-
view given in Grand Forks. land
that is that the republican party
has proved to the people of the
state that a party pledge stands
for something more than being a
mere vote getter.
"And, too, it must prove to the
people Of the state thati the franz
ing of their party platforms that
they must exercise t b great
est care and precaution, the enact
ment into law Of every pledge made
by the party in the last election
campaign proving beyond a
donbt the fact that a pledge means
something"

mains unfulflled. We have start
ed the initiative. referendum and

practice, anti pass, tax commission.

as were promised to the people OF
the state, and by doing so l believe
the republican party can come be-
fore the people two years hence
more united and with better oppor-
tunity of success throughout than
has existed for number Of years.
"As to the condition within the
party, I believe that the next year
or two will see great changes in the
sentiment. During the session Of
the legislature just closed we heard
less of sstalwartism' and 'insurgent-

from all the recognized leaders
there appeared unanimity of op.

any cause for complaint at the &C

legislation. True when the session
was young, there fioated out ru'
mors Of a 'do.nothing' assembly

plished must convince all that the
sixty-day grind has brought about
a great many results that were
just what the people of the state
wanted.
