IN WHOLESALE STYLE
Farmers in Vicinity Of Berthold Will
Raise Potatoes This Year.

Berthold, N. D., April 22.-Fifteen
hundred acres of potatoes in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Berthold will be
grown this year. L. R. Colvert, W. J.
Roberts and J. P. Porter raised $4,000
bushels together last year, or total
of thirty carloads. These were mostly
shipped to Kansas City, netting them
from 80 cents to $1.05 per bushel. The
potato growers do not raise potatoes
on the same ground each year, but use
the potato ground for growing wheat,
fax or some other crop. One farmer
raised twenty bushels of fax to the
acre on potato ground. !.

NOT KNOWN WHERE
 BIG PIERS WILL BE
Commission Gives New Londoners No Idea What Site Will Be It's Choice Several Have Been Suggested.

Now that New Londons million dol lar piers have secured the necessary sanction from the state commission speculation as to where the big piers are to be located has started in New London.
 Several prospective plans have been prepared by the engineers who have been consulted in the matter, Two of the many locations examined are known. One is the property where the William J, Bentley sawmills were formerly located. The foundation of the waterfront at this point Is rocky and presents engineering problems and great expenditure will be neees- sary to provide sufficient depth of wa ter and piers for ocean steamers,
 Another prospective site is the land in East New London just above the Central Vermont leFg wharf and south of the Thames river bridge, If this locality was selected it would pFeba= bly, mean the levelling of the entire bluff the removal of many residences and the use of the earth and rocks for filling.
 The commission not only made a thorough investigation ieself. but se- cured the services of experts on har- Dor development, every one of whom believed that the harbor offered the best advantages for development. As surances have been received from a number of steamship companies, the names of which the commission is withholding at present, that if the | harbor is developed, they will utilize | it.
 The vote passed provides for the inn mediate devlopment of the harbor by the erection of a pier or piers, the lat | ter depending on the cost of the work and of the land necessary, and the | building terminals. AS the act covers ! the whole of New London harbor which | lies in Groton Wateford and New London, the commission has not de- cided where the first dock will be To- | cated. The commission is also con l sidering the erection of a barge cana l terminal, in connection with the grea 1 barge canal now being built across 1 the state of New York. This would | furnish an inland waterway for cana
 boats from the Great Lakes to New London by way of the Sound. and z
 large number of grain and iron con cerns, particularly two in Ton wan
 da. N Y, and Buffalo, N. Y, have sig
 nified their intention of utilizing New London as point from which to loaC
 the larger part of their grain ant iron, used as a basic part of steam
 ship load. If carried out. this will yir | tually insure the wharf of a large
 number of ocean going steamships il | New London harbor.

Washington July 10.-When shown the order directing an officer of the United States army to proceed to Bridgeport in connection with the for nation of two troops of cavalry there, Representative Tilson said
 Tt was upon the suggestion ef Cap tain Luzern Ludington of New Haven and a number of other military men that took nP with the war depart neht several weeks ago the subject of establishing 8 full squadron of cavalry In Connecticut, 1 eentended at that time that the National Guard is weak in Connecticut, and in erder te ball anee the service we should have at least squadron of cavalry, There are st present ehly tive tre6Ps, enc at New Haven and the other at Hartford, The matter was referred ts the division of militia affairs and that division has new reached the eeAeiGsi6H that tive additional tFeePs should be organized. Captain Francis c, Marshall has been ordered te Connecticut te investigate and report concerning the two new troops. It is believed that Hartford and Bridgeport will furnish ene of the new troops each.
 Captain James L. Howard of Hart ford has been very much interested in the subject, having been in Washing ton recently to talk the matter over with the chief of the division of militia affairs.
 T was informed by the war de- partment this morning that the com plete equipment would be supplied as soon as the two additional troops are organized"
