INCREASING BEE COLONIES

The old-established bee-keeper
desires at least enough swarms to
make up for colonies lost during
the winter, while the beginner is
anxious to increase the number of
his colonies by this means. In no
case, however, should the owner of
an apiary strive to more than double
his colonies in any one year. It is
better to have fewer colonies and
have them all extremely strong.
Feeding for winter, except in ex-
tremely poor seasons, will not then
be necessary. Neither does it pay
to extract all honey and feed syrup
to sustain the bees during winter.

also has a class in music here. How
ard WATSON is a brakeman on the N.

here. When the train arrived We'd
nesday evening almost the entire pop
ulation of Turtle Lake was at the de-
pot. Immediately after WATSON had
assisted the passengers to alight sew
eral men seized him and held him
while Miss Halves dashed him across
the face and body with a rawhide
whip.
Trouble between the parties has been
brewing for long time. Several
weeks ago Miss Halves made COM

company. alleging that he had insulted
her and requested that he be dismissed
from the employ of the company.
Pending Investigations WATSON was
laid off. After investigator the COM

groundless and reinstated WATSON. On
Wednesday he made his first trip after
his reinstatement. WATSON claims that
Miss Halves wanted to get him dis

Northern Pacific Railroad is Advertis.
ing for Bids for Structure.
Mandan.-The Northern Pacific rail-
road has advertised for bids for the
erection of the new $4,000 freight de-
pot and division headquarters for this
city. The plans have been prepared
for some time and bids for the erection
of the building have been advertised
for.
Tho new building will be 300 feet
long, will be built of brick and con-
crete and will be the most substantial
and modern freight depot erected by
the company in several years. About
120 feet of the building will be two
stories in height and will be used as
division headquarters for the Mandan-
Mott and the Mandan-Stan lines,
which were constructed in the years of
1909-1O.
Offices for the local officials of the
Yellowstone division will also be pro-
vided. In addition the company will
have when completed, the most up-to-
| date freight yards In this city of any
| railroad company in the west, large
tract of land in the west end of the
| city having been purchased for this
purpose. A large hill will be cut down
to provide a location for the new
freight depot and work will be started
on this at once.
1t is also understood that the North
| ern Pacific is to build new passenger
| depot here. The present depot is be-
coming too small for the amount OF
business done by the company at this
point.

wan 60 to Supreme Court.

Williston.-The question of which
county shall or shall not have the COL
lecting OF the taxes in Divide county
from last years levy is to be taken to
the supreme court for decision. The
county commissioners claim Divide
county has no right to collect the tax
es. That the tax levy was made for
the running expenses Of the old coun-
ty. They take the stand that the law
sets the time for joint meeting in
June and that then and not until then
are they to determine what to pay
over or allow Divide to collect taxes.
They contend that Divide would be
collecting on an old levy made for the
expenses Of the old county.
Divide county claims on the other
hand that they are entitled to collect
the taxes since the first of the year as
the authority of this county ceased at
that time. They claim that they should
collec the taxes and then should pay
whatever they owed this county with
g warrant.

| THE PRICE OF q.
LAND INCREASING.
THE "sAck ia, THE LANDn CRY
IS EFFECTIVE.

Travelling through the state of Iowa
the other day. and Iowa is no excep-
ton to the story about to be related,
the writer was shown farm that was
offered three years ago for $3.50 an
acre. That appeared to be high fig
ure for land upon which the owner
depended upon the cross Of corn, hogs
and cattle that could be raised upon
it. But It wasn't. view weeks since
the farm changed hands at 1925 an
acre. Over in Illinois, down in In
diana, up IN Wisconsin, across the
line in Minnesota, the same expert
ence WIS met With. And then atten-
ton is directed to Canada. which has
been the Mecca Of so many hundred
thousand Americans during the past
few years. Not only in Eastern Can.
ada has the price Of lands increased.
but in Western Canada, during the
past few weeks, farm lands have in
creased from three to five dollars an
acre, with the prospect of similar
advance during the next three months.
The reason for this is very apparent,
and in few words 1t may be pointed
out that the lands are worth great
deal more than the present prices.
The Northwestern Agriculturist Of
Minneapolis, a paper that was one Of
the first of the American farm papers
to discover the real merits of the
lards Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, says: "The reciprocity sched-
ule would encourage American farm
ers to move to Canada, where the vir-
gin soil will produce greater crops of
grain with less labor than can be pro.
duced in our own farms in the North
west. The result will be to enhance
land values in Canada" This paper
is afraid land values in Canada will be
enhanced at the expense Of land
values in the United States. In face
of the fact that land values in the
United States are increasing the rea-
soning scarcely holds. The reason for
the advance in value of Canadian
lands is partly accounted from the
fact, admitted by this paper, that Can
ada's virgin soil will produce greater
crops of grain with less labor" But
that is not the only reason. During
the past twelve months 100000 peo-
pie have made Canada their home and
these are mostly of the farming class.
They want farms, and the demand as
we'll as the wealth Of the soil is regu-
lating the price. A study of the in.
crease in the acreage of land put I'M
der crop last year, which can be had
from any Canadian government repre-
sentative. will prove the point, that
the demand is increasing at a greater
! ratio than even the most sanguine
would have predicted,
