and bridges were carefully filled
level with the planks, all stones
and pieces Of broken glass were
picked up by hand. Rocks were
dug out, and the holes filled and
packed. Low places, where wait
er might settle after rain, were
drained by small open bitches.
This work having been accom-
pished, nothing further was done
than to maintain the road in good
condition by the use of the King
drag from one end of the county
to the other. Each district super
intendent, who worked without
remuneration, knew just where
his work began and left off; and
although heavy rains preceded
the Aberdeen run, and our soil
is as slippery when wet as any
in the state, by running the King
drags over this road in the early
morning of the day when the
automobiles went through, it
made the surface as smooth and
nice as a city street.
Not counting the labor of
love, which was gladly donated
by farmers and village people
along the line, our total expend-
iture ON this road, for 1910, was
less than 5000. / am convinced
that the same work can be dupli-
Gated in any community in Min
nesota by simply getting togeth-
er and dividing up the territory
and then enthusing the inhabi-
tants until spirit of loyalty in
each district is aroused. This
will soon become welded into a
county spirit that is sure to bring
down the fruit.
IF i would add anything more
it would be this: Don't let water
stand on amy portion of the road,
to soak and soften it; don't per-
nit a single sod to be used in con
structing the road; don't build
the road too wide; don't build it
to a peak in the center. Make il
round like hogs back, and thea
keep it in condition by frequen
use of the King drag; and do mot
forget that the best time to use
the King drag is right after q
rain

MINING NEWS FROM
THE TEN MILE CAMP

Golden, Ida, May %. Special
Another rich strike was made
in Ten Mile last week bp Jack
Howard and Arthur Cooper. The
discovery, which was made by
the two above named mining
men, is ON Buckhorn creek half
mile below Golden and within
200 feet of the west side line of
the Franklin, and is of such rich
character of ore on the surface
as to create considerable of a
stir. This is another instance Of
valuable ground being overlook
ed, and it is the opinion of your
correspondent that there are
many more such claims open in
the Ten Mile district that the
careful prospector may find, to
equal if not surpsss in richness
those already located. The vein
in the discovery by Messrs.
Howard and Cooper lies east and
west, and the ore is of the same
high grade that characterizes all
of the east and west veins
throughout the Ten Mile.
Garrett Byrns was at Golden
a few days ago after supplies.
Mr.. Byrnes is working on his
claims at the head of Santiam
| creek.
j. +. Paul who has spent the
winter in Illinois and Iowa, re-
turned Monday and will be found

Mr.. Harmon does not have much
to say but he can show you

are worth seeing and will sur.
prise you.
Jack Hokenson, who was in
Grangeville last week from Ter
Mile says: 1.-The only thing tina
is keeping the Ten Mile district
from being a practical camp is
the lack of transportation. With
a railroad the country woulG
come to the front I'M a wonderful
manner because the mineral il

"This summer will be gooC
season for the Ten Mile country
because of the showing on thu
many different claims. TIL,

this summer and the ranger tria
fixed in places so that the entire
distance from Grangeville, abou
80 miles, can be made in day.

The "AlI-Round" ShOrthOrn

The opponents of the daul-purpose
COW die hard, but they are coming
over one by one, and if they would
study the records of their favori tie
dairy breeds and compare them with
the high standard that they have set
for the dual-purpose COW they would
be wonderfully surprised at the small
number of COWS they would find that
could come up to the mark, and
would be led to conclude that the

one after all. She is rapidly gaining

eastern farmers who are beginning to
realize that the time is near when the
beef cattle of this country will have
to be produced by the farmer, and
they want cow that will make a
good profit in the dairy while her
calf is growing on the separator milk
into an animal that will make good
in the feed lot The dual-purpose
COW fills the bill nicely, not the
Shorthorn alone, but the Brown Swiss
and Red Polls as we'll.
In regard to the Shorthorn not
making good in the Columbian dairy
tests, l will give the facts as | have
read them and leave it to readers to
decide which came the nearest to
making good. When it was decided
to make those tests the different
cattle breeding associations agreed to
put liz working diaries of their breeds,
and while the Shorthorn association
knew they could not hope to beat the
Channel Island cattle they entered
the tests to show that their COWS
could make a satisfactory profit in
the dairy. Mr.. Hines, the COM
missioner who had them in charge, in
his report says: ITO prove that the
Shorthorn herd as whole. good, bad
and Indifferent, in the 90-day test,
with all the unfavorable surroundings,
showed themselves dairy cattle, l will
simply state that the "a cows actually
gave 66, 263H pounds of milk. showing
2,41O pounds of fat, equivalent to
2,OI2b pounds of 80 per cent butter,
which amounts to an average of over
l 2-5 pounds per day for the "a COWS
that participated in this test. In the
15-day cheese test Is COWS gave H.
1863 pounds Of milk and only lacked
small fraction of an average CT
three pounds of cheese each, per day.
In the 0-day butter test 10 COWS gave
Is, 618.3 pounds OF milk, 662. &c pounds
of butter and made q net profit OF
S199. 1874. In the heifer test lasting q
days the six heifers gave 1851 pounds
of milk and 1872. 1862 pounds of butter,
and a net profit of SAT. 40" So much
for the Shorthorn.
In the BREEDERS Gazette for Janu-
airy % preceding the test, there was a
statement that the American Jersey
Cattle club had assembled at jackson
Park over so COWS in preparation for
the coming battle of the breeds, and
that they we're capable of making
from three to nearly five pounds OF
butter per day, a statement that gave
the other breed associations such
shock that with the exception of the
Shorthorn and Guernsey they all laid
down and quit right there. In the
90-day test there were but five Jersey
COWS that were able to make two
pounds of butter per day; their aver
age was q 10 pounds. In the 30-day
test there were but four COWS that
reached the two-pound mark, and one
of those was the Shorthorn, Kitty
Clay 4th. The Jerseys showed only
i've sure enough wo-pound cows, out
of the 30 that were used during the
tests, and these were the select from
the 80 that were said to be able to
make from three to five pounds OF
butter per day, and were fed by an

Gentlemen of the Twelfth Legislative

Gentlemen of the Twelfth Legislative
Assembly of the State of North Da-
kota:
The most important information to
the legislative assembly is the infor-
nation of the financial condition of
the state, for without it the legislature
is working in the dark and may ap-
propriate more money than the rev.
enues Of the state warrant; and while
there is no legal obligation imposed
upon the legislative assembly by the
constitution to be guided by informa-
tion of the conditions of the state fur
nished by the governor there is an
implied moral obligation to keep with
in the of the state in making
appropriations.
In my message to the Eleventh leg,
islative assembly I furnished an item
lied statement showing the eXpendi-
lures of the state for the two years
previous and included an official esti-
mate of the revenues of the state for
the ensuing two years, in spite Of
which the appropriations made by the
legislature exceeded the revenues of
the state in large amounts. / do not
believe that the legislature intended
to appropriate more money than there
was revenue. Many of the appropria-
ton bills were passed at a late hour
on the last night of the session and in
the confusion and hurry always Incl
dent to the closing hours of the legis-
lature it is doubtful if any member
knew that they had exceeded the rev.
senues of the state. But whether it
was the intention or not it was GER
tainly negligence on the part of some
one to allow so many appropriation
bills to remain in the hands of the
committees until the last night of the
session. The appropriations should
be taken care of as early in the ses-
sion as possible; not in the confusion
of the last night of the session, when
the members are cleaning up their
desks and preparing to leave, but at a
time when there is nothing to distract
the attention of the members from the
mature deliberation and consideration
they should give to so important a
matter as the expenditure of the peo-
pies money.

vided for the appointment of a COM
mission to compile the school laws OF
the state, of which commission the at
torney general and the deputy state
superintendent of public instruction
are by law members. Upon this com
mission the governor appointed Pro
fessor Joseph Kennedy of the state
university, Professor A. D. Weeks of
the agricultural college and Professor
r. M. Black of the school of science.
These gentlemen have compiled the
laws, added thereto and taken there
from and have tried to put the school
law in as compact form as possible.
The members have all been engaged
in school work for many years. They
are familiar with the school laws and
with their defects. Their report will
come to you in the shape of a bill m
bodying all the school laws under one
appropriate title. / believe that it
will be a great improvement on the
present school law and l hope that it
may receive careful consideration and

WOULD ENLARGE POWERS

OF RAILROAD COMMISSION.
In the report of the railroad com

able suggestions, much important in
formation and recommendations, to
some Of which I call especial atten.
ton. 1t is first suggested that the
tenure of Office of the railroad com.
missioners be changed in such a way
that there will always be a majority
of holdovers on the board, thus en-
abling the board to keep a working
membership who are familiar with
the details of the work. That section
1853 of the Revised Codes of 1906 be
amended SO as to give to the commits

riers, whether operated by steam, cleo
tricity, gasoline or other motive
power. That under the law it be made
the duty of the commission to forward
all complaints of an interstate charac.
ter to the interstate commerce com
mission and to appear and prosecute
such before the interstate com.
merce commission, and in support OF
this recommendation it is claimed that
the expenses incident thereto and the
lack of knowledge of the procedure on
the part of individuals will prevent
such individuals from bringing action;
in other words, they would rather sui
fer the loss than the trouble and eX
pense. That section 1905 of the Re
vised Codes of 1905 be amended so as
to make it the duty of railroad cor

GOVERNOR FORCED TO CUT
LATE APPROPRIATIONS.

Most of the appropriations made by
The Eleventh legislative assembly did
reach the governors office early in the
session, and they were signed as a
matter of course; for, as you know.
the governor can hold a bill only three
days when it becomes a law without
his signature unless vetoed. He has
no right to assume that the legislature
would exceed the revenues of the state
In their appropriations and the bills
were signed as a matter of course, and
when the legislature sent to his office
on the last night of the session appro.
priation bills aggregating between
100000 and 100000, and he discov'
aered that more money had been appro.
priated than the state had provided, it
was, of course, necessary for him to
cut the appropriations down so as to
make the revenues and the a%ppropria.
lions as cal equal as possible. He
could only veto items in bills that had
not been signed; for those that were
signed had become laws and the
governor was bound by them the
same as every other citizen. This
made it exceptionally hard and unfair
to the institutions whose a%ppropria.
-tions came in on the last night.
If the governor could have had all
the appropriation bills before him
with a free hand to veto items in each
and all, he could, perhaps, easily have
gotten within the revenues of the
state and have dealt fairly by the in.
stitutions, so it must be apparent to
you that the delaying of so many ap.
preparation bills until the last night
of the session is not only c-arelessness
upon the part Of the legislature, but it
lis unfair to the institutions. Then,
again, you are leaving matters of great
importance that you should decide
yourselves, with the assistance of the
governor, to the governor alone; fol-
when the legislature sends to the gov.
sernor's Office so many appropriation
bills in excess of the revenues of the
state after adjournment with no op.
,portunity of sending them back to the
Legislature, you are placing upon the
governor alone the responsibility Of
fixing the appropriations.
