Lake Chautauqua Sunday and in
speaking of his visit in that city
he said, Il was out on the lake. for
several hours yesterday and as
you know the shore line has re-
ceded about six miles from it's
origional bed. When asked the
reason of this, l pointed to a long
line of elevators and replied that
there was their shore line. It took
some time before the party under
stood what I meant. The fact
that the prairie has been broken
up in that vicinity has caused the
moisture that fell to sink into the
ground and produce crops instead
of rudning off the surface and
making a lake. Consequently the
shore line has receded."

Hundreds Look Over Berthold

Palermo, n D. Aug. AL
though the opening of the Fort
Berthold Indian Reservation is
nearly two weeks away, hundreds
Of people, both men and women
are already arriving here to look
over these lands, which are, by all
means, the finest agricultural lands
in North Dakota. A stage line Of
20 automobiles is already in SER
vice between this point and the
reservation aud it is predicted that
as many more will be called into
service within week.
Palermo is the nearest point on
the Great Northern line to the res
eryation, being just twenty miles
north of the gates. L. R. Han
nah, secretary of the Palermo Com
mercial Club, announces that he
is receiving numerous inquiries
daily as to these lands and the
manner of the acquisition of title to
same, and he has corps of stem
ographers at work answering
these inquiries and sending out
literature. Mr.. Hannah predicts
that the opening of these lands
will bring many thousands Of peo-
pie into this part of the state.

N. D. Climate Has Not Changed

The popular idea that the eli
mate of this part of the country
has changed within the last
twenty-five or thirty.fve years was
shattered when Mr.. Moore, chief
of the U. s. weather bureau. in an
interview recently stated that the
coming of civilization has abso-
lutely nothing to. do with the
climate, and that it did not effect
it in any way,
Il would advise the people of
this section of the country not to
invest a dollar in land with the
idea that climatic conditions had
changed said MIR. Moore re-.
Gently. "All this talk about CON-
ing of civilization with railroads,
telegraphs and fences which affect
the electrical currents Of the air is
nothing but foolishness," continued
Mr.. Moore.
"The rainfall of a section of the
country is not controlled by any
thing that man can do. The fact
that men come into a new region
and succeed in raising a crop is
due to the fact that the hard up
per crust Of the soil 10 broken up
and the same amount Of moisture
that usually falls does moro good
than before the land was Quilt
vated.'

Statistics show that North Da.

Our increase from 1890 to 1910

Who Wouldn't Be
Assessor In 1912?
His Task Viii Be Anything But a
"Snap'' When He Tangles Up
With Politics

There are breakers ahead for the
North Dakota assessors in 1912,
when the effect of the law requir.
ing the listing of voters according
to their party atfliation will be
seen. This law, which does not
become operative until next March,
when the local assessors take up
their work, promises to give the
listers of property-and people
all kinds of trouble, as it is hardly
to be supposed that all voters will
submit tamely to prediction de-
claration of their party affiliations
especially when such declara-
tion must be made about three
months before the date set for the
regular primary election.
This law has been devised to
remedy the situation that exists by
reason of the fact that the 30 per
cent feature of the present primary
election law has been declared
null and void. The purpose of
that provision was to keep the
party voters inside the bulwarks
of their own party, preventing
them from hurdling over into the
camp of the opposition and as
sisting them in the nomination Of
their candidates-only afterward
to 70 into the general election and
vote against such candidates as
they may have assisted in no!oi-
mating.
Several plans were proposed for
the approval of the last legisla-
ture assembly to remedy this con:
dition, and the assessor list plan
was finally devised and adopted.
1t places in the hands of the as
SCISSORS the duty of making per-
sonal canvass of each and every
male voter in their assessment
district to determine what his
politics are; the lists thus gained
to be turned over to the election
officials to be used by them at the
general primary election to keep
the party voters in their own
party. The theory is that election
of officials would not issue ballots
to voters as indicated by their
prior declaration to the assessing
officer.
The success of this plan will be
watched with considera BILE interest
by several states in which the
same problem is confronted as
that which has been brought up in
this state.-Ex.

of the first food investigations the
United States knew. The follow
ing year he was made chief
chemist Of the Department of
Agriculture. position so obscure
that its only duty was passing
upon the mixture of fertilizers.
This was twenty-eight years ago
and with the growth of the Bureau
Of Chemistry from fertilizing mix
ing to the supervision Of the foods
and drugs of a nation has been the
growth of Wiley, for he has been
the Bureau of Chemistry.
DR.. Wiley is now a man sixty
eight years of age, a great hulking
man, six feet tall, weighing 22O
pounds, in perfect health and ap-
parently twenty years younger
than he is.
Soon after DR.. Wiley became
associated with the Department of
Agriculture he began his pure
food Investigations. In Indiana
had been born an am bition which
was nothing less than giving the
people of the nation honest food.
Everywhere there was deception
IN the things that were sold. If
one bought pepper it was eighty
per cent ground up shells. If one
bought meat it was ''embalmed. -
If one brought fruit it was picked
in injurious chemicals. If one
brought proprietary medicine it
might have any amount Of opiates
in it without his knowledge, There
was no dependence to be placed
in labels and names. Wherever
money was to be made through
deception, deception was being
practiced. The whole people
bought, as food, substances with
little nourishment in them. More
than that, they we're being de-
ceived into putting things into
their stomachs that were crying
injurious to them.
A trial involving the. use of a
food preservative was recently
held in Indianapolis. DR.. Wiley
was refused permission to go to
Indianapolis to testify. The court
sent a committee to Washington
to get his affidavit.
'Do you realize" DR.. Wiley was
asked, 'that the defendants in this
case represent an investment Of
slO,0oO,0O?"
Probably so,' responded the
chief chemist, "but if there was at
stake the life of but one baby in.
stead Of thousands, 1 would place
that life above the interest Of the
capital invested"

Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining

Every Cloud has A SlVer Lining
Editor Wardwell of The Pelnb-
ina Pioneer express sees the silver
lining-even if Cavalier did take
away the county seat. He views
the removal of the Offices from
Pembina without alarm. In a
philosophical way he refers to the
coming change in the following:
The deed which transfers the
county seat to Cavalier as do all
deeds, will also transfer the
"Hereditaments and appurtenances
thereunto belonging"
There is a large proportion of
these 'appurtenances" that Pemb-
ina will gladly relinquish to the
iv1ctors; among them we might
specify the following:
+ The political and social hatred
and enmity Systematically foment-
ed by jealous neighbors, from
which Pembina has suffered for
more than score of years.
The political classification of
practically all county officers as
citizens of Pembina.
The consequent reputation OF
nogging all the Offices and bossing
all the parties.
The kindly friendship Of some
nearby localities.
Our political and social obliga-
tions to most towns in the county
as towns.
Our political obligations to, ex.
cept a few, of the present staff Of
county officers.
Our reputation of making ou,
sole living from county funds
taken from the taxpayers OF the
county with the consequent idea
that without the courthouse the
town would be a corpse.
The occasional visits Of some
none resident county officials.
The above list could be added
to, but enough is given to show
that the "rose has its thorns'
some of which are pretty sharp
and long. But there are some
things that are not included in the
schedule which even the supreme
court of North Dakota cannot
transfer, among which are the
many tried and true friends, who
have stood by us through good
and evil report and Pembina will
never forget these-and their
names are preserved in the poll
books Of the late election, while
the list of names on the petition
for county seat removals. now
open to the public.
