A HEALTHY CLIMATE

Who does not want health
Where better can you find it
than in the crisp bracing air of
malaria-free North Dakoa?
Government statistics prove
that the death rate per thousand
in this vigorous northern country
is only 1876.
AS you go south the rate grad
ually increases until the states
on the southern border show as
high as 26.6, OF more than double
our rate.
In other. words, people die at
the rate Of more than two to one
faster in the south than they do
| in North Dakota.
| North Dakota is the best state
| in the Union for both young and
old. 1t is we'll known fact that
in hot countries the young devel.
op rapidly and are wrinkled and
old before they have passed what
with US is the prime of life.
North Dakota has the most
healthfuI climate of any state ir
the Union.

Forest Reserve
For Bad Lands
Fargo Congressman in Favor Of Such
Proposition and Has Been Asked
by Chief Forester to Take 1t Up

Washington, June 12.-Follow-
ing conference with Mr.. Greedy
of Missoula, Mont, district
forester for eastern Montana and
western North Dakota. Chief
Forester H. L. Graves has written
Representative Hanna requesting
him to discuss with Mr.. Greedy,
the proposition to create q forest
reserve in the Bad Lands Of North
Dakota.
The district forester is now in
Washington, but will return
home in few days. passing
through Fargo, where Mr.. Hanna
will be at that time. Mr.. Greely,
it is understood, urged the crea-
tion of this reserve in his talk
with the chief forester. ,
Mr.. Graves said in his letter to
Mr.. Hanna that the bureau, is
without funds to undertake the
planting Of trees on any other
areas than those which have al
ready been. made forest reserves
and require forestration. He said
also, however. referring to the
Bad Lands. 'Unquestionably the
land is capable Of producing trees
and I think. that it would be a
good thing for North Dakota to
have more land than at present
actually producing trees"
Mr.. Hanna has contended that
the reserve would forest itself
from trees that are now growing
| in the Bad Lands, and that the re-
sservation should be made. before
settlers enter. The reserve sought
would amount to ITO, 900 acres.

Farmers Declare
Big Dividend.
Stockholders Of Farmers Elevator
Co. Have Big Meeting Tues. and
Declare 100 Per Cent Dividend

The annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Farmers Eleva-
tor Co. was held last Tuesday af-
ternoon in Logan's hall, at which
a large part Of the stock was
represented.
The reading of the secretary's
and treasurer's report by E. E.
Noble showed that the company
was in excellent condition, there
being surplus on hand at the
close Of the years business, May
81, last. of s14,50O.O0. The paid
up capital of the company is now
SO, 100000, which makes the sur
plus on hand over 160 per cent,
part Of which was carried over
from last year after declaring SO
per cent dividend There was con-
siderable discussion as to the div
idend that should be declared
some wanting so per cent, some
100, while one member made a
motion to declare $50 per cent.
1t was finally decided to declare:
so or 100 per cent, and these two
amounts were balloted on, with
the result that 100 per cent was.
declared, leaving on hand $500
of surplus.
The election of five directors
for the coming year was next
taken up and the following elect.
ed: E. D. Logan, E. E. Noble,
j. D. Halstead. Lewis Odfand and
F. A. Powers.
Before adjourning, the PROPOSE
tion of recognizing into CO.
operative,- bushel-plan elevator
was discussed and the majority
seemed to be in favor of this
move; that of organizing new
company on the bushel plan and
taking over the present company's
property or some other property
if the present company did not
care to sell. After considerable
discussion it was decided to ad-
journ to June q. when commit
tee from the proposed new compa-
ny will meet the stockholders of
the present company and make an
offer for the elevator property and
ascertain whether a deal can be
made and a reorganization per-
fected.
There seems to be no one op-
posed to this move, but the ques-
tion at issue seems to be the price
Lat which the present company's
stock should be liquidated, and
this is where the fight will be, if
any.
The book value of the present
elevator is about $12,000,t making
the par value of the stock about
80 per cent above what it was
originally sold for; this, with the
actual cash on hand after paying
the 100 per cent dividend, would
bring it up to about double it's
original value, not figuring its
future earning value.
A large number of farmers are
becoming interested in the bushel
plan proposition and. that this
kind Of an elevator will be doing
business in Beach this fall is cer-
tain.
