How are we to get the peopleg That is
the problem. That is what is facing

Instead of increasing the rural popula-

Meantime thousands of people are
passing around and through this valley

All entries must be made and exhibits
received on Or before August 81, 1911.
The quantity of each sample of grain
sent should not be less than one.half the
size of the ordinary bundle of grain and
should be carefully tied SO as to prevent
it getting damaged. There should be a
full bundle of fax, alfalfa and clover.
These grains and grasses should be
carefully packed in large boxes, with
sufficient openings to permit plenty of
air to circulate through, SO as to prevent
the grain from becoming heated or mold
ed while in transit.
The larger the variety, the more value
is attached to it. Extreme care should
be used in selecting, arranging and
packing each exhibit.
The department will simply take the
exhibit from the boxes and display it,
concealing from the judges the name of
the contestant and the county in which
the exhibit was gathered.
It may prove advantageous to the ex.
hlbitor to have the wheat, oats, barley
rye, speltz and other grains strip ed.
This will make the straw brighter and
more attractive. Have each bundle So
curely tied with cord.
All grains and grasses should be ship
ped BY express, SO as to prevent the ex-
shibit being kept in the boxes too long,
and thus avoid it having moldy appear
ance. The department will pay express
charges. Consign al shipments to,

CONSOLIDATION OF

The amalgamation Of the Grand Forkt

the history of North Dakota. The his

Geo. B. Winship is contemporaneous
with about all the history of the Terri.
tory and the State. Mr.. Winsh,p start
ed the Herald IN 1879 and from very
small beginnings as weekly and the
paper has grown as the city of Grand
Forks has grown and as the state has
grown.
That the Herald under the manage.
ment of its proprietor has done its full
share as promoter for the progress and
growth of North Dakota thousands OF
readers can testify. The Herald has al.
ways been clean paper and on the
right side in all moral questions. AS a
newspaper very few cities of the size Of
Grand Forks can boast of SO good a
periodical.
The Times has also grown rapidly in
public esteem under the editorial man.

This writer has known and liked Mr..

have differed with him many times politi-
cally, and have not been backward in ex-
pressing these differences in this pager,
yet behind 1t all there has been person

FROM OUT OF THE
HAMILTON WOODS
Hamilton Independent.

The Pioneer Express is sowing the
seed for bed of thorns upon which any
and all Pembina candidates in forth.
coming elections must lie, in its assinine
attitude in the matter Of the county
seat location Every issue since election
las contained threats as to what Pembi-
ma has in store for the poor mortals
who do not happened to be confined with
in the sacred precincts of the town on
the muddy Red, and the dire calamity
awaiting those who directly or indirectly
contributed towards Cavaliers success.
A doleful vail and do eful outlook for
aspirants for political honors who may
claim Pembina with its $50 votes out of
total Of 8. 80 as place of resident. Oh
yes, lots of things, are going to happen,
but not the way p. e. would have it
not by "jug full"
"Every issue," nor any issue of the
Pioneer Express "since election has con-
tained threats as to what Pembina has
in store for the poor mortals who do not
happen to be confined, etc.
The editor of the Independent knows
what he ls sayins is absolutely false.
If the editor Of the Independent bad
any conscience we might think it was
upbraiding him for his particular part
in the county seat fight, but there must
be something else troubling him.
The Pioneer Express said, that Penn
bila by the removal Of the county seat
was thereby absolved from many obliga-
tions which had handicapped its politi-
cal actions in the past and that it would
therefore be independent and free in.
the future. That implies no threat. Il
did say that it would remember its
friends. That implies no threat to it's
enemies, except the two may beopposed,
and then the word threat is not the pro.
per designation. In that case it would
be friendship rather than enmity that
would be the ruling motive.
But. the conclusion Of the Independ-
ent that $50 votes are but small factor
/ in county elections IL not borne ont BY
facts. That many votes would settle
the election in three, ,fourths Of Offices in
the county as the vote has usually been
divided. 81

Choice North Park Beef.

Hugh E. Hunter, of Cowdrey, Col,
in North Park, WAS at the yards with
a bunch of fed steers and heifers Of
his own feeding. They averaged a
little less than 800 lbs, and sold to
local packers at $3.50 Mr.. Hunter
fed these cattle on corn chop and
North Park native hay as an exper-
iment. 81 have always felt that an
excellent qualitv Object could be pro-
duced in this way, but formerly the
fact that corn had to be hauled so
far by Wagon prohibited much ac-
tivity in this line. The railroad is
coming in now. however, and l figur-
ed that l would experiment a little
in feeding in this manner in order
to try out my theory before the
road arrives. Track laying is pro-
crossing rapidly on the new line and
they expect to have the road finished
to Cowdrey by August 1st."
Mr.. Hunter states that his cattle
were on feed 120 days and made an
excellent gain, but that much of the
value of the experiment was lost
from the fact that railroad service
was very poor during the trip.
From the time the cattle were
loaded at Foxpark til they arrived in
Denver, the trains made only about
six miles an hour" said he. "and the
shrink was so heavy that it is diff
cult to say just what could be done
in feeding in this manner had con-
ditions been better for getting the
stuff to market in good shape. =
