yond the work he has done for the city
Of Bismarck, for the state and for his
fellow citizens. History will place him
in clear perspective. Time will give
him the credit and honor he deserves,
in his helping toward The upbuilding Of
a great commonwealth from a frontier.
In the hearts and memories of his
friends he will hold place where love
abides and loving recollections linger.
He would have asked for nothing more.

since 1873. He has been concerned
with everything that had to do with the
building up Of the city and the state.
He has been believer always in North
Dakota. His time was always at the
disposal of the state and its interests.
He was open minded, open hearted,
open handed. His perspective was
broad. His ideals were high. His
hopes were warm and bright. He loved
life and his fellows and the world is
better for his having lived in it.

Lignite-A petition is being circulat-
ed among the taxpayers Of Burke coun-
ty, which is in fact request to Judge
Leighton Of the Eighth Judicial district
asking that a. grand jury be called
when the next term of court convenes

threw out every precinct in the coun-
ty where Ignite had a majority for
county seat.

Washington. D. c., Feb. 1s.-rhe
house by a vote Of 1876 to 121, decided
today to begin immediate considera-
ton of the Mccall bill carrying out the
reciprocity agreement with Canada.
No agreement has been reached az to
the limit Of debate but the bill may be

from the republican side The demo-
Gratis voted almost solidly for linz
mediate consideration.
Immediately after the house met
today Representative Mccall of Mass

RECALLS OLD DAYS.
Efforts Made to Stock Buffalo Farm
Near State Line in Montana.

wear osato Limo III MONTANA.
Schaefer-The developments of the
new National Bison Ranch" on the
Flathead Indian reservation in Mon
tana, seems a queer turning back
ward of history to the old settlers of
the northern plains. AS late as the
early eighties-only twenty-five years
ago-it was not at all uncommon, so
the old cowmen say to see a herd Of
buffaloes two miles long trailing over
Dakota, nor for the Northern Paci-
fic trains to halt to allow. herd to
cross the tracks Now the National
Bison society, which numbers conser-
vatlonists among it's members, as we'll
as Theodore Roosevelt and hundreds of
others, is bringing in by freight upon
the very old stamping grounds of the
buffalo few last domesticated rep
resentatives of the former mighty
herds Of the plains and is placing them
there in park as a curiosity.
The last great slaughter of the
buffaloes in Montana and North Da-
kota happened in the years following
the building of the Northern Pacific
railway. The first trains over the line
were crowded with hunters. Slaugh-
ter, not sport, followed and the buff
faloes were shot down by the tens OF
thousands. Buffalo hide shipping sta
lions sprang up along the route. Com
pan1es were formed which sent scores
OF men and teams out over the plains
to bring in the hides and bones. Often
these were shipped east by the train
load and men made fortunes from the
sale of them.

N. b. Schools Get Raise.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Although the.
house and senate conferees remain
deadlocked over certain senate amend
ments to the Indian appropriation bill,
the committee has agreed to the fol-
lowing North Dakota propositions.
Wahpeton Indian school, $4,000.
This is an increase of $4,000 over the
bill as it left the house. The increase
is to be used for the construction of
boys and girls dormitory.
Fort Totten Indian school, $4,000.
This increase was made necessary by
the committee raising the capacity of
the school from 800 to 400 students.
The conferees have agreed to an
amendment calling upon the interior
department for statement of fiscal
affairs of all Indian schools, the size
of the investment, the needs and feas-
Utility Of continuing the various
schools after next year.

Fessenden-The county officials of
Wells county have appropriated $3.50
year for the purpose of combating
tuberculosis in Wells county. Although
is not so prevalent in Wells county
as in some parts Of the state, yet the
increase has been striking. the num-
Der Of cases doubling three times in
nine years. Therefore, the Wells
county board of health has deter
mined to strike an advance blow at
the plague and with the means at hand
may sweep out the county practically
clean Of tuberculosis in ten years.

MAY RAISE HEMP.
Said to Be a Profitable Crop That
Will Clean Land.

Grand Portsmouth Dakota may
ing center. Tests have been made
which indicate that hemp Of the high
est quality can be successfully grown.
Some experiments showed fibre six
feet long and any of the Red river
valley land will grow five-foot hemp.
Aside from the Kentucky hemp the
Manchurian can also be successfully
grown for seed, but the fibre is not
so long or fine.
The yields per acre are from ten to
fifteen tons Of hemp. This will yield
from two to three tons of FIBRE This
fibre. if hand broken, is worth from
$500 to $3.50 on the market. 1t ma
chine broken the value is somewhat
less.
Farmers could raise hemp and break
it in the winter months inside COM
Portable sheds.
The seed will cost about SIS per acre.
Even at one ton per acre of flax
fibre, it can readily be seen that hemp
would be an immensely profitable
crop; Even a half ton would bring
returns far in excess of wheat.
But it is not alone as a money max
ing crop that hemp is valuable. 1t
shines pre-eminently as weed ex-
terminator. Frequently one crop will
clean the foulest fields. and two will
leave the land as pure as the virgin
prairie soil.
Some people advocate the growth
of hemp on the mustard and other
weedy fields. 1t towers luxuriantly
over the weeds and strangles and
starves the pestigerous and obnoxious
plant life.

Bismarck-The railroad commission
Of the state Of North Dakota IL in re-
ceipt Of communication which In.
forms It that the rate case entitled r.
E. Cobb. ct AL, We. Northern Pacific
railroad ct al, has been decided by the
interstate commerce commission in ia
vor Of the creamery company and
against the railroad, and incidentally
against the state. as North Dakota ap-
peared as an intervenor in the case,
being an interested party.
The case was brought before the in
terstate commerce commission to pre-
vent a rate being put into effect on
the shipment Of cream from North Da-
kota to points in Minnesota where
centralizers are established. It was
argued that the rate which was pro-
posed would work injury to the state
because of the i'll effect 1t would have
on the local creameries. The central
izers would be able to pay more Tor
the cream than the local creameries
and then would have the matter in
their own hands when the home fac
tories had been forced out Of business
on account of lack Of patronage. The
rate is what is known as the Beatrice
rate and it is stated that in Nebraska
where the rate has been in effect it
has worked great harm to the smaller
creameries Of the state and helped
build up the larger centralizing plants
Of the big cities. Attorney General
Miller made trip to Washington to
appear before the railroad commission
at the time the case was up.
A few of the rates as ordered are
given below:
