POPULATION OF NORTH DAKOTA
TOWNS

The Minot Commercial Club ex-
poets to begin active work boosting
for their town which work is to be-
gin early this spring. An effort is
to get the business men to unite on
a plan of work and several CONNER
cial club meetings are being planned.
The recent census returns of Minot's
population was great disappoint-
ment and to Offset this the CONNER
cial club expects to get busy along
other lines of effort.
The population of Grand Forks is
announced as 12,47S, gain by a
percentage of ,65.7 over the crns9s
Of ten years ago, when the population
was 1862. Five years ago the
state population gave Grand Forks
of 1927.
The population of Fargo is 1881,
a gain in percentage of 49.4 or A.
742 persons in ten years.
The census of jamestown has not
been announced. Like most Of the
Other cities and towns in the state
whose expectations were raised to a
high pitch the figures will probably
prove disappointing, and many be-
lieye will not fairly state the city's
population for several good and suf-
ficient reasons.

the coldest weather of the winter.

DRY FARMING
CONGRESS
MEETING TO PROMOTE THI!
MOVEMENT FOR NORTH
DAKOTA

The first North Dakota Auxiliary
Dry Farming Congress will be held at
Dickinson on Tuesday and Wednes-
day, January 81 and February 1,
1911, at which time a permanent
state organization will be effected.
The program committee has secur-
ed speakers of national reputation,
including J. H. Worst, president of
the North Dakota college and presi-
dent of the international Dry Farm
ing Congress; John T. Burns, execu-
tive secretary of the International
Dry Farming Congress; Professors
Bolley and Shepperd Of the North
Dakota Agricultural College; the
North Dakota Farmers corps, headed
by Supt. T.. A. Hoverstad; also Supt.
w. R. Porter Of the North Dakota
demonstration farms.
Efforts are also being made to Sc
cure James J. Hill of the Great Nor
thern for one of the days, Prof.
Thomas Shaw, the Minnesota insti-
tute worker, and Editor M. F. Gree
ley of the Dakota Farmer. In addi-
ton to the foregoing speakers, prac-
tical progressive farmers will give
talks on the various phases of farm
ing best suited to the ordinary rain
fall of the state.
The organization of Dry Farming
Congress in North Dakota, auxiliary
to the National Dry Farming Con-
gress, means a great deal to the
state and the project should receive
the hearty cooperation of every set
tier and property owner. All Of the
northwestern states are becoming in
terested in this matter and where
not already organized will do so with
in the coming year or two.
The North Dakota Auxiliary Dry
Farming Congress will naturally de-
velop into regular organization,
meeting annually, which will be of
great lulpOELduC6 W Jul d6AASuAIuA
al interests. The work Of the Con-
gress is along the lines of practical
and scientific cultivation of the soil,
and no state is more in need of this
kind of education than North Dakota.
The natural resources are here in
great abundance. The soil is rich
and if the husbandmen will only
learn to properly till their acres they
are destined to become very pros
porous.
Therefore, it is the place of ev-
cry one to take an interest in the
Dry Farming movement. National
speakers will come to Dickinson to
tell the farmers how to materially in
crease their grain yields. Let US all
become interested, get out and get
the other fellows out and make the
most of opportunities at our disposal.

Bismarck, N. d., Jan. 3.-The
Legislature met Tuesday and carried
out the caucus program announced
heretofore. The organization of
the house was effected by a republi-
can caucus, after number of bal
lots and there were six candidates
! who entered the race and who were
voted upon at the first ballot. These
candidates were gradually eliminated
and on the last ballot a decided VIC
tory was won by Capt. Hanley who
secured vote of 60 to 18 for Holmes.
The other candidates were Playhar
of Barnes, Frame of Walsh, Price of
Fargo. The feeling over the result
is of general satisfaction as Capt.
Hanley, it is predicted, will make
satisfactory and competent pre-
Gliding officer. He is not regarded
as radical and has been classed a
mong the stalwarts in Morton coun-
ty until last fall when he announced
wing or faction of the party. The
militia boys of the state are pleased
with his election as he is interested
and prominent in the militia affairs.
This is the first speaker who was
elected west of the Missouri river
and is an indication of the movement
of population and the growth of the
western part of the state. The NOM
ination is equivalent to. an election
as the democrats have no hope of
selecting their candidate who is S. J.
Doyle of Foster county, the nominee
of the democratic caucus. In the
selection of committees it is under
stood that all factions will be fairly
represented. Capt Hanley is prac-
ticing attorney of Morton county, has
been states attorney and is an officer
in the national guard. There was no
other business transacted at the re-
publican caucus except the nomina-
ton for speaker.
was slated for the chief clerk Of the
house. He was reading clerk in the
house two years ago. A committee
on employees for both houses was
appointed and it was understood that
their recommendations will be in the
line of economy. Capt. Hanley made
the following statement at the an
nouncement as his selection as repub-
lican candidate for speaker:
II am very much gratified at my
nomination as speaker. l realize
that the duties of the office are I'M
portant and far reaching and should
ne discharged vigorously and with
absolute fairness. The people OF the
state are expecting fulfillment OF
the party pledges, and it shall be my
active desire and effort to see those
expectations gratifed and the evil
dent earnestness of the members OF
both houses in organizing convinces
me that such will be the result. l
believe that party promises should
be kept and pledges redeemed"

Monday night and that body was
organized along progressive lines by
a small majority.
