Senator Avery Wants Real Estate
Mortgages Registered.

Topeka, Jan. 20.-H. w. Avery
the senator from the Clay-Dickinson
district, will in a few days revive the
bill requiring registration OF real
estate mortgages. The bill was in
the hopper two years ago, introduced
by c. A. Case but Governor Stubs
vetoed 1t. Since the act was killed
by the chief executive, Avery has
made several changes in the measure.
He has changed the period covering
which mortgages should be recorded.
He would establish fee of so cents
for each 500 principal of the mort
gage and would turn this fee into
the county treasurer's office to be
distributed as taxes on the property
In that particular district. Avery
will make strong effort to crowd
his bill through at this session and
10 secure enough votes to shove 1t
over the governors veto, If neces-
sary. 1t was one Of the very few
bills that fell under the executive
axe In 1909.
Governor Stubs has made reply
to the resolution offered by the
Democratic minority in the senate
that his contingent fund be inves-
tigated. He has sent message to
the senate in which he discussed the
matter at length and tells what he
has done with his 100000 contin-
gent fund. This demand for an
accounting of my contingent fund is

The governor said. ~ take no little

Manhattan Professors Say Dynamite
y Better Than PI5ws.

At the present rate OF progress II
won't be long until some OF the
methods Of the new agriculture
make necessary change in many
OF the phases Of the old time farm
language. Instead of father telling
the boys to hitch up and get started
with the blowing, It'll be get your
batteries and wires and hustle out
and blow UP that lower eighty"
I Nowadays a farmer of sense no
longer strains the life out of his
horses and smashes his plow trying
to stir up hardpan, commonly known
as dobe. He either tells his troubles
to the state agricultural college and
man is sent to teach him how to
farm with dynamite or he takes a
risk, bores the holes or has them
bored, sinks the charges, connects
them with wires, stamps down the
earth and then, with one little pull Of
lever blows daylight into the stub
born soil that has hitherto resisted
the pillow.
OF course you have to pillow that
field, but you do it the next spring.
The frost and the snow and rain get
into the cracks the dynamite made
and make 1t mellow so that when
you attack it in the spring the share
cuts /. up in a fine, workable slice.
Hardpan usually is a subsoil
stratum from six to eighteen inches
thick, though in many PLACES it is
much thicker. The dynamite is
placed in hole that has heen red
with a post hole augur. When sew
eral charges have been placed they
are connected with an elect io lat
terry and exploded simultaneously.
The soil is shattered and broken for
many feet away from the holes II
they have been properly placed all

,'iile cost of this work is about SIS
to $25 an acre, though 1t varies with
the depth and thickness OF the bard
pan
Sometimes dynamited soil is
plowed and narrowed and planted
crop like clover or alfalfa. This, it |
is believed, will keep the soil from
running together again; but many
experimenters prefer to let the
ground receive the frost and snow
and rain until spring. Neither side
to the controversy is certain of its
contention, because dynamiting as
an aid to farm is still new. Neither
does any one know precisely how
much such system will cost. In

Inheritance Tax May Stand.


The inheritance tax was the sub
ject this morning of very spirited
debate in the house. when the house
committee to which II had been re-
ferred reported adversely to Burke's
bill to repeal the inheritance tax.
Following this there was a general
debate during which Burke arose
and insisted that his bill be revived
and put under the head Of general
orders. Then followed the discus
sion during which the democrats In
sisted that the repeal OF the law was
in the planks Of their platform.
The Republicans insisted that the
opposition was not to the law itself
but to the details of the law, and
that the opposition wanted the law
amended and not repealed. They
also stated that the committee re.
ported as It did because a bill is to
be Introduced which will smeEd the
law raising the exemption for direct
heirs from 5000 to $50, OOe. The

Avery's Mortgage Bill.

The senate committee on Assess
ment and Taxation made favorable
report on Senate Bill 1876 which was
introduced by Senator Avery and
provided for a registration fee of
fifty cents on each one hundred doll
lars on all real estate mortgages re-
corded within the state and provides
for their exemption from taxation
thereafter. There have been several
bills effecting the exemption of mort
cages introduced this session but
this is the first one that has succeed
ed in passing the committee in either
branch Of the legislature. 1t will
be remembered that this bill passed
both branches of the legislature last
session and was vetoed by the gov
ernor. The bill is strengthened in
several ways this year and in addi-
ton to this, provides for renewed
fee every five years which seems to
overcome the principal objections
made against such a bill and con-
tains all desirable features and places
home capital on the same basis as
the money loaned by the large foreign
corporations throughout the state.
There seems to be an increased SEN
timent In favor Of legislation of this
kind at, this session. The committee
In addition to making favorable re-
port recommended and secured the
adoption of a resolution for the
of one thousand copies of
this bill to supply the numerous

ANNUAL GAME TO
Be PLAYED nov. 4
ANNUAL CHAMPIONSHIP FOOT
BALL GAME BETWEEN FARGO
COLLEGE AND THE NORTH DA-
KoTA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
WILL BE PLAYED NOV. 4.

The annual championship football
game between the two local colleges
viii be played Saturday, Nov. 4.
The management of the football
teams at the North Dakota Agricul-
tural college and Fargo college have
come together on the above date for
the annual game between the two
schools. The date was agreed upon
after a great deal of discussion of
the proposition and the time accepted
is very satisfactory to both institu-
tons.
The game during November makes
the contest little bit later than usual
this year. The great gridiron battles
between the two rival institutions have
always been held in October hereto
fore and have on only a very few occa-
sions ran over into November. Owing
to the fact that the two schools had
other dates with teams away from the
city, this was found to be the only
date that would be satisfactory.
However the coaches Of the elevens
are going to count a great deal on the
fact that the game is to be played
late this year. 1t will mean many more
days of hard training and the mole
skin warriors should be in the most
perfect condition possible by the time
Of the annual contest, which will
make the outcome of the conflict
watched with much more interest.
Already there is a great deal of talk
in, the football circles at the two coll
leges and each is anxiously awaiting
the opening of the collegiate season
when the strength of their teams can
be pitted against those Of their rivals.
AS yet there seems to be little on
which the two teams can base their
dope for the annual fight. The sched-
