Washington, Sept. 23.-Welcomed by
Taft and attended by some 5000 dele
gates from all parts of the world, the
fifteenth international congress of hy
giene autobiography convened here to-
day. 1t was the first time in the six
ty years of its existence that the con-
gress has met in the United States.
United to free the human race of
disease, these warriors for a new and
wider form of freedom, gathered for
exchange of greetings in Memorial
Continental hall, the marble home of
the Daughters of the American Reyo-
luton. To Taft's greeting, brief re-
sponses were made by the head of the
delegation from each of the thirty
countries represented. Discussions
and lectures will continue throughout
, the week.
Taft, in the course of his address
said: I'VE need to develop, under gov
ernmental auspices, a bureau of the
department in which the funds of the
government shall be expended for re-
search of every kind, useful in prae-
tice and enforcement of hygiene and
preventive medicine. That something
of this sort, may grow out Of the pres
ent United States public health serg-
ice there is reason to believe, but it
will need far greater appropriations
before it shall have filed the place that
the medical profession Of this coun-
try has right to expect the general
government to create a congress OF
hygiene and demography,"
Referring to the subject of tropical
hygiene, the president said: "Our re-
sponsibilities in Cuba, Porto Rico, and
the Philippines. and now on the 18TH
mus of Panama, have so enlarged our

cessful sanitation under the most
burdensome conditions and have so
impressed both professional men and
laymen at all familiar with conditions
with the necessity for more rigid and
comprehensive health laws and strict
er enforcement, of them for the gen.
eral public good, that if the Spanish
war resulted in nothing else, it was
worth greatly more than its cost "A
this useful development of one Of the
most important functions that mod
ern government has to discharge as
we'll as making clear the need Of an
additional branch of general education
in the matter of hygiene of the home
and the individual.
when we first went into the tropics
our purpose was to make that region
habitable for white people. We have
demonstrated that as a possibility
Now we have gone beyond the mere
provision for those who come from
the temperate zone and we are engag-
ed in developing the tropical races Into
"a strength of badly and freedom from
diseases that they never had before
II consider it a proud record of the
American army that through its medi-
cal corps engaged in hygienic work in
the tropics, so many important dis
coyeries as to the transmission of dis
ease and the methods of stopping Its
spread have been given to the worio
and all this is dated chiefly from the
time OF the Spanish war.

discoveries the construction of tht
Panama canal would have been impos-
sible."

Wheat in 1912, cOmpared with Previous Crops.

has, as In previous years secured some
valuable data regarding the crops,
yields and values of the northwest for
1912. and compares this crop with pre-
vious years. The above tabulated fig
ures were taken from The Farmstead's
advance sheets with the following
summary of the situation: ..
One hundred and fifty millions of
dollars more than last year will be
received by the farmers of the Amer
lean northwest for their five staple
grains, potatoes and hay, produced in
19l2--in the states of Minnesota, the
Dakotas, Wyoming. Montana, Idaho,
oregon and Washington.
The increased value of the crops Of
1912 over two years ago is almost $780,
000, 600! The season of 1911 was be-
low par, while 1910 witnessed the
worst drought in the eastern section
that the northwest had experienced In
thirty or forty years.
But the crop season now drawing TO
close has been ideal In most re-
spects. The result Is a bonanza year
throughout the northwest, especially
in Minnesota and the Dakotas--far

which previously had been the high
water mark for productiveness in the
northwest.
Bonanza Grain Crops.
While the quality of the grain was
never better, the quantity shows a
tremendous increase. OF wheat, the
northwest has S73,0Q0,000 Of bushels
this year compared to only 216.00e.0OO
last year
The corn crop is almost 160,000,000
of bushels, an increase Of SO per cent
over last year.
Never was there such a monster
yield of oats--3SS, 600, 900 of bushels Of
oats have been safely garnered in our

or considerably more than double last
years product,
The outturn of barley, something
over 105,000,000 of bushels, is also
nearly double the yield of 1911

Owing to the increase in the total

Fargo is deeply interested in the
opening of the Fort Peck Indian reser-
va alton which lies in the eastern part
of Montana, in that this is Fargo ter
ritory in-so far as Fargo jobbers and
wholesalers are concerned.
This is why Secretary Stine, acting
for the commercial club, has written to
the secretary, of the interior and
President Taft, asking them to use all
their best endeavors to have the open-
ing as early in the spring of 1913 as
possible.
This reservation has 2,O6S,69S acres,
and of this vast territory 1888 has
been allotted to the Indians, leaving L.
345,000 acres for settlers.
Fargo is directly interested in this
new territory because of the fact that
Fargo wholesalers supply the greater
part of the goods for eastern Mon
tana The Great Northern's new
branch. known as the Plentywood
branch runs just east of the reserva-
tion, and it is stated that the soil is
first class and capable of producing,
1t is estimated, 1S,000,000 bushels of
wheat ia
Several letters have passed between
the Fargo Commercial club and the
secretary of the interior in regard to
the matter.
Speed was urged by the club so that
settlers might be enabled to get into
the reservation early next spring and
get to work, but the secretary of the
interior has written back to the eff
feet that the committee on appraise-
ment and classification is already hard
at work, and as the task seems to be
great it will not likely be that the
territory can be opened in the spring,
but 1T is earnestly hoped that 1t will
be ready during the year 1918.
No Arrangements Vet.
Secretary Stine of the commercial
club is authority for the statement
| that no arrangements have as Yet been
made by which the Fargo business
men are to take the trip over the
new Great Northern line to Minot He
has received word from President
Gray to the effect that travelling pas
lsenger agent of the company viii soon
visit Fargo and talk over with the
commercial club committee the pro-
posed trip but that nothing has been
done so far in that direction, except
in gto talk 1t over.
The Lisbon Trip.
1t is more than likely if the rain
does not cease and the roads dry up
that the Fargo Commercial club will
make its proposed trip to the corn
| jubilee at Lisbon next Friday by
train. instead Of by automobiles, The
roads are now in very bad condi-
tion and it is believed that unless the
rain ceases today that the roads will
! not be in condition for auto travelling
by Friday. 1t is hoped by President
Page Of the club that Fargo will send
a very large delegation to Lisbon to
the corn show, because itself is we'll
worth making the trip to see and
then, too, the Lisbon people have al
ways very generously patronized
everything that Fargo has ever un-
dertaken.

Speeches All in Spanish, Dwell

Received With Loud Applause by
Immense Audience.

Probably never in the history Of
that theatre has the Dfttman thea
ire held such a crowd as that which
gathered Saturday night to attend
the meeting of the Independents.
The celebration commenced with
"a monster torch light and banner
procession which filed down the
principal streets of the city to the
strains of stirring music by a Mex
lean band.
The meeting was called to order
by President .Vincente l.. Crixell.
After Secretary Jose Reyes had
read the minutes of the preceding
meeting, Mr.. Crixell introduced T.
III. Hernandez who made a stirring
address in Spanish. That the au-
dience was with the speaker
throughout his talk was denoted by
the frequent Interruptions of ap-
plause and the cheers which greeted
him at the conclusion of his re-
marks.
One Of the most important po-
litical features dwelt upon by the
speakers yof the evening was the
wrong of vote selling.
The other speakers of the even
ing were:
Everardo Torres, Luis Gonzales,
Arnuff Gomez, p. S. Preciado and

throughout the entire meeting were
in Spanish and The Herald is not

MADE STIRRING TALK
AT BIG DEMOCRATIC RALLY SAT-
URDAY NIGHT.
If Elected, He Will Account to Tax
payers for Etery Dollar Collected
from Them-Several Other Orators
Spoke Also.

Before a crowd that filled the
Blue Club rooms and overflfowed
into the streets, Louis Cobolini,
Democratic candidate for mayor,
Saturday night told what he would
do if he were elected mayor Of the
city.
Mr.. Cobolin first addressed the
crowd in Spanish and then in Eng
lish. He prefaced his address by de-
claring:
Il feel honored in having the
nomination and support of the Dem
ocratic party"
Mr.. Cobolini said that if he was
chosen to fill the mayors chair, he
would endeavor to render Justice and
right to every one regardless of po-
litical Affiliations. The speaker said
that he would adopt as his motto,
Equal rights to all, special privil-
eyes to none" The speaker said
hat what the people of Brownsville
want is a man who is competent, and
who will stand for the people.
'On the 18th of June" he said,
II asked in the city council for a
statement of the expenditures Of the
administration and the report has
not been forthcoming as yet Such
reports as have been publised. he
pointed out, merely state that so
much had been received and so much
expended. Mr.. Cobolini said that
they were not Illuminating to the
taxpayer.
If we collect in direct TAXATION"
he said, 40 or As cents the people
want TO know how that As or As
cents was expended On the 18th
Of December, Mr.. Cobolini said, he
asked the chairman of each commit
tee for a report of the amount his
committee had spent and how he had
spent t, and that these reports have
not been forthcoming.
eff | am elected" he declared, 81
will give a report on every dollar
collected from the people and how it
is expended"
Enlarging upon this theme, Mr..
Cobolini said that, when the tax
payers elected a mayor or an alder
man that mayor or aldermana be-
come the servant of the tax
payers and should give an account
OF the taxpayers dollars expended
and collected. Mr.. Cobolini said
that another of his aims was to put
financial business of the city upon
a cash basis so hat when a man
works for the city for $50 a day,
he will be able to go to the bank
and gel $3.50 for his days work
and not be paid in script which will
bring him only $1.2O.
II will take an interest,"" he said,
mot only in the banker but in the
working man. If the people are
prosperous the banker is prosper
