The state Of Matrimony is one Of

chief products are population, broom

Farmer. organize Club.

Pembina.-Another Farmers club
has been organized in Pembina county.
This one is called the Farmers I'M
provement society, and will strive for
the betterment of conditions in the
country adjacent to Joliet. At tho
meeting last week Dairying was the
principal topic Of discussion. Local
representatives of a large creamery
have been paying a price higher than
the nearest local creamery could at
ford to pay It seemed to be the un-
animous sentiment of the farmers pres
ent that they owed it to their neigh
bors and to their own interests in the
end to patronize the nearby creamer-
les. particularly the one at Bowes-
mont, rather than allow competition in
the creamery business to be killed, and
be at the mercy of another combina-
ton.

Fort Berthold.-The first annual fair
Of the Fort Berthold Indians will be
held this fall. The Indians have elect
ed officers and committees. The pres
ident Of the. organization is John Smith
and each community on the reserva-
ton IL represented by vice president.
A committee on Judging was also
elected. The funds will be raised by
the Indians. The heads Of family and
all men over 81 will contribute 81 to
the fund.
The fair will be held at the agency,
Elbowoods, N. D., all the Indians will
20 into camp at the agency during the
fair. The garden and field exhibits
will be made in one Of the large agency
commissaries and the live stock will be
held in pens In the open. The amuse-
ments will consist Of athletic sports
and horse racing and there will be
some Indian dancing in the evening.
The effort is being made. however, to
put before the Indians the educational
Significance of the fair. This must be
uppermost to have the fair accomplish
some good. A large number Of visitors
from off the reservation are expected
and an effort on their part to boost
the exhibits and the true purpose Of
the fair, that of educating and raising
the standards of the community will
be greatly appreciated.
The holding Of an annual fair ne
cessitates the doing away with the 4th
Of July celebration as the Indians pre-
paration for the fair cannot be broken
into and the time is needed by them
to work their gardens and fields.
The Indians are taking great inter-
est in the coming event and those who
intend to exhibit live stock are giving
them SPECIAL attention and getting them
accustomed to being handled. There
will be number of exhibits. OF
course the prize list will not be much
the first year, but gains will be made
each year.
The date has not been definitely
set yet but it will be early in October

best information. Congressman Han
ma who introduced the bill has made
this statement in every letter that has
been written him regarding it. The
representatives Of the government who
made the treaty with the Indians last

be opened this year. There is little
doubt that this will be done.
It will be opened under what is
known as the lottery system All

prominent North Dakota bank, telling
of how the financial house had been
swindled out Of 5000. The young man
who perpetuated the deed answers the
description Of the same person who
worked similar graft on North Da-
ikota banks >just a year ago next
month and a year Ago last February.
The man wrote the North Dakota
bank from Buffalo, N. T., and signed
himself as H. E. Miller. He said in
his correspondence that he had noted
that the bank was advertising some
land in the Omaha Bee and that he
would like to have further information
and particulars regarding the farm
property.
Later he wrote from prominent ho-
tel in Kansas City and stated that he
would first go to Oklahoma, where
he would look over farm property
there. However, If he did not want to
invest in the southern state he would
like to see the North Dakota property.

The officials Of the bank took him
around in an automobile for two days
and Miller finally selected the land he
desired. The papers were drawn and
he gave two drafts on an eastern bank,
one for $4,000 and the other for $4,000.

that the bank would have plenty Of

However, the smooth individual got

hours he had disappeared and has
never been heard from since.

TRAIN LOAD AFTER
TRAIN LOAD OF
SETTLERS
ARE GOING TO CENTRAL CANADA.

The question Of reciprocal trade re-
lations between the United States and
Canada has provoked considerable
discussion and interest. Whatever
else the discussion may have done, it
has brought out the fact that on the
Canadian side of the line the agri-
cultural situation is one that forces
attention, and 1t has also brought forth
the fact which it Is we'll to face, that
on the American side of the border,
there is q vastly increasing popula-
ton to be fed with a somewhat de-
creasing proportion Of food products.
This article is intended to point out
to those who may wish to become of
those who can raise wheat, oats, bar
ley, flax, cattle and hogs at the least
cost that the opportunities in Central
Canada are what they are seeking.
During the past year the official fig
ures show that upwards of 100000
Americans located in Canada, and the
greatest majority Of these have settled
on farms, and when the time comes.
which it will within a few years, they
will be ready to help serve their par
ent country with the food stuffs that
Its increasing population will require.
The immigration for the spring has
now set in in great earnest, and train
load after train load of a splendid
class Of settlers leave weekly from
Kansas City. Omaha, Chicago, De-
troit, st. Paul and other points. Most
! of these are destined through to points
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta. The reports: that come from
the different farming districts there
are that the spring IS opening up well,
and the prospects for splendid crop
this year are very good. In some dis
tricts good homesteads are yet avail
able. The price of all farm lands has
naturally had an increase, but it is
still away below its earning capacity.
The immigration branch Of the Domin.
ion Government has just published its
| 1911 illustrated pamphlet, which may
be secured on application to the De.
partment of the Interior, Ottawa
