came before the desert land board and
attempted to exact the withdrawal of
a letter, which he claimed was "black-
mail"
In his abrupt, positive manner, Gov
ernor West told Morson he was no
longer to be permitted to take set
tiers money without showing the
board he was able to make good and
that the letter would not. be with
drawn, but that unless a different
course was pursued by the company
the government would be asked to
deny the company the use of the
mails.
When the governor stood up in
front of him with an expression bod
ing physical force back OF his words.
Morson retreated.
The state board is in the position
ments and the reclamation companies
and is responsible for protection of
the settlers rights. For years the
reclamation companies have been
selling lands to settlers in advance of
reclamation work and the board has
no data whatever regarding sales nor
any assurance that settlers will be
protected from loss.
The Deschutes company now has
about 100000 of settlers money with
but three miles of ditch to show for
seven years work.
The board is now demanding tina;
Morson give a guarantee sufficient
to assure the board that settlers will
be protected and also to give a bond

fenced.

works the land up we'll and plants his
seed as near the surface as he can,
which he thinks is great deal better
than dropping the seed on the hard
ground at the bottom of furrow. Any
way he has splendid crop and there
are those having just as good land who
have nothing.
Tree planting has had attention al
the Grayson place. where some 400 trees
form a shelter belt for the buildings.
From a setting of IFS pines, 96 are
growing. Compass cherry trees, set two
years ago, were just loaded down with
fruit this season. Their neighbors are
also planting trees. Ed. Pletan has a
fine grove and John Shimamon has the
finest Norway popular grove around.
It is almost needless to says that Mr..

position at Bismarck as much as posi-
bless from September rs to October Is.

DRY FARMING CONGRESS a,e
IN DICKINSON AGAIN

1t was definitely decided at the Com
mercial Club meeting Wednesday night
that Dickinson should hold the second
annual meeting of the North Dakota Dry
Farming Congress. The club will help
to finance the meeting and arrange for
a Mid-Winter Fair. s
President A. D. Heaton was empow-
cred with authority to appoint CON-
mittee of three to have general super
vision OF arrangements. It was also
voted that the club should take up the
matter of appropriatins $500 at its meet.
ing in two weeks for necessary expenses
in connection with the fair.
Secretary L. r. Waldron of the N. D.
Dry Farming Congress stated that he
thought possibly the first part of Decem-
Der would be good time to hold the
convention. President C. L. Thinner
man of Mandan. it is understood. is
of the same opinion. A two days ses-
sion will be held and some very strong
speakers will be secured. The special
arrangement committee will work with
the state congress organization in many
of the matters and at an early date the
time of holding the meeting will be an
nounced.
An eff ort will be made to make the
fair feature much more attractive than
last winter. There will be more cash
prizes and it is presumed that num-
ber of very fine special premiums can
be solicited.
The Northern Pacific will likely adver-
tise the North Dakota Dry Farming
Congress extensively and in other ways
assist in making the meeting both inter-
estina and profitable.
Every one admitted that the first an
nual meeting held here last winter, was
a great success. some 700 people being
in attendance, and there is every rea.
son to believe that the second meeting
will be more successful in every way.
The people of this city should enter
heartily into the work of preparing suit
able entertainment.
Supt. L. r. Waldron is to represent the
Dickinson commercial club at the Inter-
National Dry Farming Congress at Colo
RADIO Springs. Colorado, on October 16
20. John H. Worst of the state agri
cultural college is president of the nat
ional congress.
Chairman Everett reported that the
Stark county exhibits for the exposition
were shipped this week G. S. Cryne
of Gladstone goes to Bismarck to lool
after the exhibit.
Mr.. Everett also reported that October
10 would likely be West Missouri Slope
Day at the state exposition. A specia
train, starting at Beach. will likely bt
run to Bismarck that day.
President Heaton has named George
Senour, Fred Maser, F. H. Schroeder,
Guy Dickinson, and G. A. Perkins as {
permanent good roads committee.
Secretary J. P. Cain Of the Merchants
Association has been elected to member
