1t was also pointed out that
board of control for education
al institutions would bring the
institutions into politics rather
than take them out of it. In
fact there is no state where
the educational institutions
have been so little involved in
politics as in North Dakota.
1t was felt, however, by the
conference that educational in
stitutions of the same charac-
ter, doing practically the same
kind of work, such as the nor
NAL schools, might we'll be
placed under the same board.
Before adjournment, the
conference authorized the ap-
pointment of a committee, con-
sisting of Presidents McVey,
Worst, Mcfarland and Smith.
and Messrs. N. G. Young, N.
b. Cassel and Dinnie, to pre-
pare an extended statement
showing in detail the attitude
of the conference on some of
the more important educational
problems in North Dakota, in
Guiding the question Of a board
of control for educational in
stitutions. The conference in
structed the committees to
issue this statement, in addi-
tion to the one now presented,
at an early date, so that the
people of the state might have
the fullest information upon
the question involved.
The conference also decided
to meet quarterly, and the next
meeting is to be held at the
University of North Dakota,
Friday. April II, 1911.

Sidis' facts are all wrong. Records OF

children OF today are entering grade

ages than they did 20 or so years ago.
And this fact Is in itself proof that

Sidis' opinions are unsubstantiated

rhymes and NEUROLOGICAL stories, that
has been threshed out with the result
that the best European school systems
include these In their regular curricu-

Area-500, 900 acres, half OF
which Is under cultivation.
Population-20,000.
Location-South OF Imperial
Junction on line OF Southern
Pacific, between Los Angeles
and New Orleans, Entire valley
below sea level and once part
OF Colorado desert.
What II Produces.
Canteloupes, dates, alfalfa,
cotton. hogs, sheep, asparagus
and nearly every fruit and
vegetable grown in the country,
except those crops which need
extreme cold to mature.
Climate.
Dry and hot. Temperature in
summer reaches from 100 TO 135
in the shade and yet few people
die from heat.
Land can be bought for from
$25 TO $3.50 an acre. The pros

In 1896 the Colorado went on a
rampage and the Salton sea was form
ed. Before that time the New Liver
pool Salt Co. had been coming dollars
from salt scraped from the dry bed OF
the ancient sea. When the Colorado
broke loose II filed up this old bed,
submerged machinery, and now salt
works, machinery and all Is buried
under 40 or so feet OF salt water. The
sea is fed by the Alamo river, which
was formed when the Colorado was
finally checked by the engineers.
II was after this that the people be-
gan pouring into the valley. The I'm
perial valley is now watered by over
700 miles of irrigation bitches. Part
Of this is carried from the river, south
into Mexico and then back into the
United States again. The reclamation
service has already spent about $780,
5000. At present there are over e.
600 farms and 10000 souls in the val
ley.

The people OF Imperial valley are
entirely different from the wild, hard
drinking, gun fighting. gambling type
of the frontier days OF the old west.
The little ball does not click on the
roulette wheel, as In most new coun-
tries; there are no shooting scrapes
and all night revels In the border sa-
looms as in the old days.
For the Imperial valley is dry. There
isn't a saloon in 1t. The people are
home-builders.
The climate is like the inside of a
furnace. 1t reaches $50 In the shade
during summer, but no one dies OF
heat, because the air Is dry. II cracks
the lips of the newcomer, but II Is In
MIGRATING rather than Oppressive.

If the farmers Of Wisconsin or Illinois attempted

has been doing his work, they would not do as we'll
as our tillers Of the soil have done. AS good

not to depend very much on q wheat crop
True it is, they sometimes harvest remarkably
fine crop of wheat in those states but then onl!

ing the methods Of those of the eastern states
than and if they continue to do this, there is
no reason why our land will not sell within short

the business.
