A SERIOUS INDICTMENT.

Minot Optic: The following news
item which has been going the rounds
of the state press and apparently is
undenied Is rather serious indict-
ment of conditions in North Dakota:
Glendive, Mont. Oct 25.-The far
mers' institute speakers who addressed
the meeting in this city included Prof.
T. A. Hoverstad superintendent of
farmers Institutes for North Dakota,
who is regarded as one of the best
institute workers in the northwest.
Mr.. Hoverstad has been loaned to
Montana because of Governor Burke s
veto of North Dakota farmers insti-
tute appropriations.
rom this information 10 would APP
pear that superintendent Hoverstad Of
the North Dakota farmers institutes
has been loaned to Montana to do in
stitute work In that state, for the rea-
son that there are no funds to carry
on the work in North Dakota.
The article places the responsibility
for this upon Governor Burke, who We
toed the appropriations for farmers
Institute work in North Dakota. This
is a serious indictment to make against
the governor Of great state.
If any state in the union needs In
struction among the farmers as to how
to get the best results from the soil. 1t
is North Dakota. and 1t is to be re-
GREETED that our own state officials are
obliged to 60 to other states, because
there are no funds to carry on the
work in their home state.

pousLE CHURCH MEMBER.
Minneapolis Man Finds Comfort il
Two Affiliations.


Pittsburg Gazette Times: A Min
neapolis mans simultaneous member
ship in two churches of different re-
ligious denominations has raised some
interesting questions. When the dis
covery was made of his apparent di-
vided allegiance the authorities OF
each church began looking up the law.
but they were unable to find any pro-
hfbition of such an unusual status.
Their member explained that he was
very fond of going to church and that
each Of his two favorite denominations
contained points of excellence which
were lacking in the other. So he de-
.cided TO belong to both. He was able
to subscribe conscientiousiy to the
creeds of both churches. He believed
he was willing to contribute finan-
cially to the support of two churches
At last accounts he was still holding
the double fort.
The fact that man is able to be-
long to two churches at once Is worthy
of notice. The incident should afford
encouragement to the advocates Of
church union But it would seem that
any church member, however jealous
and enthusiastic, should be able 10
find scope for his activities within a
single denomination. He may think
honestly that he can render adequate
service to two churches at once but
II he tries to do so he is certainly GO
ing to be kept exceedingly busy. It
would appear that the Minneapolis
member Is more intent on receiving
than giving seemingly he Is eager to
derive benefit from his double de-
nominational Affiliations without
thinking of the aid. apart from the
financial. that he Is to hestow In re-
turn The loyal member nowadays
need not go outside OF his own de-
nomination to ind plenty OF useful
work to do.
1t would be instructive to know
whether his two churches think as
much If the Minneapolis man as he
! does OF the'-

Judge Nye sustained.

Yesterday the state supreme court
handed down decision in the case OF
=. I. Barnard VS.. the city of Fergus
Falls. and in 1t the court strongly up
holds Judge Nye Of the district court
saying that the trial court did not
abuse its discretion in denying plain
tins motion for new trial. and did
not err in its rulings on the admission
OF evidence. The suit was for 800 or
$500 damages for goods destroyed when
the city electric light dam was washed
out in September, 1909. The case first
went to the supreme court on de-
murrer, and that court held that the
city was not liable for damages unless
negligence was shown In constructing
the dam. 1t then came back to the
district court, where 1t was tried be-
fore a jury. and the jury brought in
verdict for the city. A new triel
was asked on the ground that the ver-
dict was not in accordance with the
evidence. This motion was denied by
Judge Nye.

Was Given Papers.

Rueben Grimoldby was an applicant
before Judge Nye for the finale of the
making him United States citizen,
today. To look upon, MIR. Grimoldby
appears to be a man possessed Of a
fair fund of general information and
well prepared to meet the volley of
questions likely to be asked by the
court to test his fitness for citizen
ship. He was asked as to the heads
Of the different government, but one
strange thing was that he has omitted
to read over the constitution OF the
United States, or the constitution of
the commonwealth Of Minnesota. How
ever. he promised to digest those doc
uments at the earliest possible mo-
ment He knew some points about
them. The test Of the gentleman came
when Judge Nye solemnly asked of
the applicant, "Mr. Grimoldby, who
represents this district in the congress
of the United States?" Charlie Mar
den of this city" came the prompt
response ''Not yet said the court
sternly, The Will have to defeat Hal
vor STEVENSON Of Crookston before he
can ascend to that high honor" The
applicant, however, was given his
papers.

IRRIGATION ON
MOUSE RIVER
THORN DICKINSON or THE STATE
ENcINEER's OFFICE IN CITY
TODAY AND TELLS OF SUCCESS
OF IRRIGATION ALONG MOUSE
VALLEY.

Thorn Dickinson Of the state engi-
neer's Office was in the city today on
his return from the northern part OF
the state where he has been laying out
irrigation bitches. Mr.. Dickinson says
that on the upper Mouse river bottoms
in 'Renville county that remarkable
Yields have been obtained from the
use Of water for irrigation.
This valley which averages about
one-half mile wide, is nearly level and
lies about 100 feet below the surround
Ing prairie. AS Is characteristic of ALI
our North Dakota streams the banks
OF this stream are slightly higher than
at the foot of the hills so that It is
comparatively an easy matter to con-
struct a ditch along the bank Of the
river and by. the use Of a centrifugal
pump and gasolene engine fiji this
ditch with water which flows out and
Is spread over the adjacent bottoms
making the fertile soil yield abundant
ly.
Henry Stammen, who owns 900 acres
ten miles south of Grano, was the first
in the valley to take out water right.
He began irrigation operations In July,
1910 and so greatly pleased was he
with the results obtained that he not
only purchased more land that could
be irrigated but encouraged his neigh
bors to take up irrigation as well.
Irrigated oats are yielding from so
to 100 bushels per acre. wheat aver
ages around twenty-five bushels and
potatoes have been an extremely sue
cessful crop when irrigated. Mr..
Stammen raised 1000 tons of blue
joint hay on $50 acres while the UNI
irrigated land yielded less than one
half ton per acre. His hay is selling
for So per ton in the stack. Mr.. STAN
men figures the cost to irrigate by
pumping to be $3.50 per acre. He
uses centrifugal pump having a ca :
pacity of 1900 gallons per minute and
twenty horse power gasolene trac-
ton engine for power He ran the
outfit day and night for thirty eight
days and made record run Of six
days and nights without single stop
of any kind. Edward organs, five
miles south of Grano, was unable to
begin pumping until July 2, but never
theless grew nineteen bushels OF
wheat, eighty bushels of oats and
twenty bushels of flax per acre
Jens Glein has an excellent irrigated
project east of Carpio and anticipated
having more under the ditch next sea
son. Phillip Stammen has secured
such excellent results from irrigation
this year that he anticipates irrigating
an additional 100 acres next year. Ole
Person, north of Grano, although
starting late and without sufficient
bitches, grew barley which yielded &C
bushels per acre. E. e. Joslin OF
Grano is at present constructing q
system Of bitches on his farm directly
south of town and will SOW a large
acreage to alfalfa next season. Several
others in this neighborhood have TAX
en- out water rights and will irrigatt
next season.
Mr.. Dickinson goes from here tc
Devils Lake where he will make {
careful Typographical survey of the
Rock Island military reservation from
which map win be made for the
use of the war department and the
national guard.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
RroomhaII's Report.

Liverpool, Oct. .-Notwithstand-
ing the pronounced weakness in Amer
lea yesterday and the continued de-
cline in Buenos Ayres, the market
here was steady at NC decline
Strength was due to free covering by
shorts on the firmness in Winnipeg

Platte offers despite the weaker trend
in the future market there.
Nearby offers in Argentine are film-
III held with arrivals from the inte-
raor light and there is good demand
reported for new crop offers. Follow
ing the opening the undertone was
firm with prominent outside buying
and values advanced * to a..
There were no cargoes OFF coast or
awaiting orders and a report from our
agent from Australia states that
drought continues and more rain Is
wanted and that wheat is firmly held
there. There was general scarcity
of sellers and with firmer offers from
Argentine, week end covering develop
ed. At the close the market was
steady and unchanged to "a lower than

Corn opened Il lower and further

and the pressure to sell new corn,
