petitions are now being circulat-
ed and signed quite freely, asking
him to organize it under the name
of Sioux county. The populat-
ion is as yet an indefinate factor,
being estimated all the way from
400 to 1000 white voters. Bnt
the Indian population is also a
big factor, and their number is
far greater than that of the
white settlers. The Indians are
opposed to the measure looking
to county organization, and Gov,
ernor Burke has already been
waited on by several delegations
of indians, headed by their prom
inent men all of them protesting
against the movement.
However, the petitioning for
organization goes right on, and

the tract is too populous to ad'

ty that cannot possibly have any
good interest at heart, and that
this year must bring in much
greater development yet, an in.

a necessity
The usual difficult problem OF
a county seat presents itself here
too. Fort Yates, located by the
river and nearly 100 miles away
from it's western extremity, with
the vague promise of a railroad
at some future tine, appears to
be poor selection, although the
place is mentioned as candidate
for county seat. A much more
logically located point would be
one of the stations along the
Milwaukee, which would be easy
to reach from the east part, and
offers railroad facilities to peo-
pie coming from the extreme
west end of the county.

Friday, March 10, 1911.

The people Of North Dakota,
recognizing the tremendous in
fuence which the adoption of
the Canadian reciprocity treaty
will have on all agricultural in
terests of the northwest, are
making preparations to fight the
movement to a finish. On March
18th representative farmers and
business men from many parts
of the state held a preliminary
meeting at Grand Forks and
issued a call for a general state
convention, to be held at Grand
Forks on April 4th, at which time
there is no doubt but what some
sweeping demands will be made
on the powers that be, to remem-
ber the needs of the American
farmer, who under the anticip-
ated reciprocity treaty appears
to be chosen as the sacrifice in
order that the factory workers
OF the east might be fed cheaper
and therefore may be made to
work cheaper.

To Organize Sioux County
Much Agitation Now Going On,
to Organize the Territory south
of the Cedar River into a
County, Separate in Existence
from Old Morton County.

There is persistent movement
on foot, in which it is h ope e d
that part of the old Standing
Rock reservation, heretofore con-
sidered a part of Morton county
may finally be organized as a
separate county. This territory
comprises an area of some 33
townships lying between the
Cedar and the South Dakota
boundary, and between the Miss
ouri and the Adams county line.
The Cannon Ball branch of the
Milwaukee crosses it IN a north
west direction, dividing the
county into two fairly even por-
tions. The N. P. is planning, at
some future time, to build it's
road south from Mandan, on to
Fort Yates. but as this road is to
keep close to the Missouri, it will
be no factor in the even develop
ment of this tract.
On the maps this area has al
ways figured as part of Morton
county, but thus far Morton
county has not had any control
OF it than If it were thousand
miles away. 1t has at all times
been administered by the u. S.
government, and the only law
within it's bounds has been that

Seed CLAIM Troubles
for Morton County

The seed grain problem is as
serious and persistent in Morton
county as it is elsewhere in the
newly settled parts. Monday
and Tuesday meetings of farm
ers were held at various points,
such as Fleak, New Leipzig and
Flasher. At the New Leipzig
meeting Commissioner Ellison
presided, and a number of farm
ers signed petitions. At Fleak
petitions were quite numerously
signed. Around Flasher people
were rather lukewarm toward
the proposition. AS usual the
older part of the county, where
farming has been carried on for
years, are averse to the furnish
ing Of e e d, and agitation
against the measure invariably
cloaks it's real intent under the
argument that it might eventu-
ally prove a tax and burden on
the whole county. The people
of the county north Of the Can
nonball can therefore be classed
as generally opposed to seed
furnishing, while those south of
the river are badly in need of
this assistance.
An odd feature of the move
ment for grain in Morton county
is the circumstance that the
county commissioners, endowed
as they were with power to help
the situation, recently made a
trip to Chicago to ask the man
agement of the c. M. & St. P.
railway for assistance. With a
law as broad as the North OAK
ota seed grain statute, it is ex-
tremely unlikely that the rail-
road company will do anything
further, except to aid the county
in the sale of bonds, and per-
haps in furnishing free trans
portation of seed from the east.
Morton county IS prosperous and
has plenty of credit and is there
fore amply able to help itself and
its people. Failure to do so must
again arraign its commissioners
as being prejudiced in favor of
the older parts cf the county,
and against the south end which
might eventually gain sepera-
tion from the old county organ
ization.

of a creamery project at the COM
mercial club rooms Saturday
afternoon was we'll attended.
Professor Larsen of the Brook
ings agricultural college gave a
very interesting talk on the sub
ject of breeding cattle for dairy
purposes, emphacizing that farm
ers should begin promptly to lay
the foundation for the future by
breeding for dairying results now.
He urged that several good sires
should be introduced immediat
ely, showing that while it is i'm
possible almost to obtain really
good dairy cows at any price,
good bulls with the proper re-
cord can be had and that then
farmers would be put in a better
position to breed up to a better
standard. Prof. Ryger's talk
was directed along the line of
the practical workings of a cream
cry, as opposed to individual
attempts at dairying. He show
ed what sweeping influence a
creamery can exert on the value
OF landed property in it's vicinity.

worst of the decision. which he claim

that tho Chief had employed rough

Saturday, while the wind was
blowing almost a hurricane from
the northwest, the town was
stirred twice into pardonable
excitement by alarm of fire.
The storm was such that a fire
in the central part of town, when
once beyond control, would have
swept everything before it. One
of the alarms was caused by a
small prairie fire west of town,
the other by fire in a refuse pile
near the stock yards.

Spring time is again with US,

notes with pleasure that despite

season many trees planted last
year and before show a healthy
return to life. And again every
reason urges the home builder
to continue IN the good work of
tree planting, and to continue
with more persistence than ever.
Measureless is the blessing that
comes with tree life about us,
and he who continues in this
noble work of planting and car
ing for trees is indeed a benefac-
tor to his community. Especial
ly desirable is it that the many
beautiful homes of our young
city should now be made more
attractive by the abundant and
thoughtful planting of trees and
shrubs. And this should be done
promptly. Time was when many
a Dakota town thought it unfeas-
ible to plant trees. and all at
once the people of such places
found their towns to have been
outstripped by others who had
the ideal things of life in view.
II we would have a truly pleas

great work of beautifying the
grounds about our homes with
natures green children. And if
we start now, we shall be amply

near future. Put in a liberal or

them the proper care, this spring
