Praises N. D. Land

D. K. Valid, who owns land
near Enderlin, came near getting
stung in Southern land. He made
a visit over the land in question
and when he returned to his home
he told the following to the Inde-
pendent:
The climate is about all the
good can see IN the country. 1t
certainly is a nice place to spend
the winter. The land seems to me
to be very %poor-in most places
it will not raise even hay for the
cattle without irrigation, and most
of the hay is shipped in. Nothing
can be raised without fertilizing.
II talked with several who were
trying to raise vegetables for the
northern markets, but il is q very
uncertain business. Hay was SELL
ing when l was there for from $50
to $40 per ton, butter at 60 cents,
eggs A cents, potatoes at $l.S0 and
milk at from Is to'25 cents a quart.
1.-THE everglade land which has.
been sold*to parties around here is
absolutely no good snd no one
ought to be allowed to sell it. /
talked with one n.an who was just
harvesting a patch Of two acre po-
tatoes. He was getting about 400
bushels from the two acres. He
told that. when he first went there
he, planted this piece to potatoes
without. using any fertilizer and
got only a few scrubby potatoes
not enough to pay for digging.
Then he found that he would have
to fertilize and the fertilizer cost
him $36 an acre. After putting
in the fertilizer he planted to po-
tatoes again and this time heavy
rains killed the seed. His present
crop is the result Of third planting
and after planting three times and
spending $72 dollars for fertilizer,
he got less than we get right here
in our own state, and without that
big expense for putting stuff into
the ground to make it rich enough
to grow potatoes. 1 don't think [
want any Of that kind of land in
mine"

The production at the Pinney theater
on November 4 and 5, OF
William A. Brady's Bought and

ordinary interest in the theatrical
world, because Of the fact that the
original New York company will be
seen. The fact that the great play may
pc seen at the usual prices Is due to
he efforts OF Manager Mendenhall, who
protested against the proposal of the
company management to charge a 81
scale, as was done at Portland and all
coast cities. Mr.. Mendenhall took the
matter up with William A. Brady by
wire and secured the producers consent
to a $3.50 scale for the Boise produce
tion. Following Mr.. Brady's custom
there will be no productions of the play
during the week preceding election and
the company will rest in Boise.

The New Boz.

| The New Boz.
| The management Of the New Boz
theater has scored another triumph In
securing for It's offering for the first
half of the week the big Vitagraph
/ Shakespearian feature "As You Like
It. featuring Miss Rose Coghlan, the
famous actress and Maurice Costello
the popular Vitagraph favorite. Miss
Coghlan will portray "Rosalind" and
Mr.. Costello "Orlando." They will be
supported by an all-star cast Of the best
players In existence. No expense has
been spared in making this the strong
est, most elaborate and impressive
play that has ever been seen by mortal
| eyes.
| Miss Rose Coghlan is known by every
theatergoer in the world, and she Is
recognized as one OF the greatest
actresses who has ever appeared before
the footlights. Therefore one can look
to the fulfillment OF their highest ex-
pectations In this great Shakespearian
drama as the masterpiece of motion
picture art and dramatization OF one
of the greatest works OF genius. This
production will familiarize and bring
within the grasp Of the people a gem of
stageland literature and history.
