The diligent work Of the officers Of
the association is to be commended.
The association has never been in bet
ter shape since its origin. The best
of fraternal feeling prevails and the
business Of the association is in excel
lent condition, due largely to the eff
forts Of its officers. Their efforts
should be further encouraged through
further sympathy and prompt pay
ment Of dues.
To our president. Mr.. Black, we x
tend most hearty thanks for his ex-
'cellent vocal renditions during our
summer meeting, all of which were

DECLARES
He IS OUT FOR
WILSON
Republican Lieutenant-Gov
ernor Of North Dakota
Wants Progressive.

Governor Wilson, democratic can
didate for president, will be supported
by Lieutenant Governor U. l.. Bur-
dick Of North Dakota in the election
this fall. Mr.. Burdick made this an
nouncement at the meeting of the re-
publican county central committee,
held in Williston last week and in
regard to the proposition the Willis
ton Herald has the following to say:
The republican county central COM
mittee while in session on the 18th, at
the court house in this city sent a
committee for Lieutenant Governor
U. l.. Burdick and requested that he
address them on the political situation.
MIR. Burdick. While he had not ex-
pected it, complied with the request
In a ringing address hat marked him
as a genuine progressive With the
principles sake.
Mr.; Burdick began by saying he re-
allied that on occasions such as the
present n it was customary to ex-
tol the virtues Inc achievements of
the party. OF its achievements vol
umes could be spoken for the history of
the republican party was synonymous
with the wonderful development Of
the country during the past half CEN
fury. Viewed in the light of the his
tory of the present administration and
recent events. the speaker deeply re-
or tied that the powerful and pernici-
Gus influence of the few who domin-
ated the party had placed 1t in a posi-
ton before the country that was a
distinct departure from the true re-
publican principles of Lincoln. so long
successfully upheld. of government Of
the people for the people and by the
people. He believed that all adher-
ents of the r principles Of Just and
honest government and equal privi-
eyes, which are the principles of pro-
gressiveism. must find themselves at
variance with the doctrine of party
solidarity urged by Mr.. Taft when it
SO plainly led away from party hon
esty and party progress. Mr.. Burdick
spoke only of national affairs and
said while his name would be in the
same column with that of Mr.. Taft
but would vigorously ppo him.
The third party-Roosevelt move
ment hnds no favor in Mr.. Burdick's
eyes for ne sees in it only the de-
signs of personal ambitions all cen
tering around Roosevelt for presi-
dent to the exclusion of real aims of
the progressive cause. The speaker
believed in standing for princinIe
wherever principle could be found and
IN Woodrow Wilson he saw a clean
man of courage and true progressive
faith, a man who meant what he said
and who would carry out the provis-
ions OF the platform on which he
stood to the letter. OF the democratic
platform the speaker said he had read
1T carefully and found 1t Thoroughly
progressive. the most progressive
ever adopted by either of the old
parties. wv
This being his belief, Mr.. Burdtch
deemed 1T his duty. a duty which he
would not hesitate to perform, to no
only be for Woodrow Wilson for nresi.
dent but to openly support him with
all his power.

Of BIG FARM
SAYS CROPS ARE GOOD

North Dakota crops have v
looked better than they do at this
time. according to William Dalrymple
of Minneapolis. who was in Grand
Forks yesterday. Mr.. Dalrymple
owns approximately $4,000. acres of
farming land near Casselton. He is
making a motor trip of inspection
through Minnesota and North Dakota,
to ascertain the condition Of the crops.

While the Dalrymple farm is not as
large as it was at one time. 1t is still
one of the largest in the world, and
one of the finest. At the time Of the
worlds fair in Chicago the Dalrymple
farm was one of the mammoth North

THE POSSIBLE GRAND
FORKS ROAD
Minneapolis, St. Louis and
Canadian Line Incorporate
ed in South Dakota.

Articles Of Incorporation of the
Minneapolis, st. Louis and Canadian
railroad were filed with the secretary
Of state Of South Dakota today. They
provide for headquarters for the new
road at Watertown, S. D., and offices
in Minneapolis and New York. The
road is capitalized at $1,000. 900.
The road as now under contempla-
ton, will extend from Watertown, S.
D.. to the Canadian border and prob
ably across The connection of the
line southwark from Watertown will
be by way of the South Dakota Cen
trail from Watertown to Sioux City
and a gap to be constructed from

THEY LOSE ON WHEAT.
Poor Scales Will Cost Farmers Large
Sum.

Univc. sity of Kansas, May 3d.
When Kansas weighs its 100000
bushels Of wheat this summer, some
BODY will gain or lose 900 by
false weights. That is if wheat brings
a dollar bushel and all of it is
weighed on Kansas scales.
For, according to tests in Deputy
Sealer Simpsons office at the Univer-
sity of Kansas, one wagon scale out OF
every Chl ee in the state is off" ten
pounds to the ten Two hundred
scales have been tested and Professor
Simpson is sure this percentage will
prevail On the others.
So 100000 pounds of perfectly
good wheat will be juggled back and
forth, this farmer losing 500 and an
other farmer gaining that amount
Professor Simpson is not sure that the
law of chance will operate on the
thousand scales not tested so that
what the farmer loses on this set of
scales some farmer will get back on
another set of scales in the next
county
