The local experimental station is gain

note appeared in a Russian botanical

sill. government of lula, Russia. through
the Russian agricultural representative
located in this country, requested the
Dickinson experiment station to prepare
and send to them a series of alfalfa
strains for experimental work. Recently
Supt. Waldron sent to Russia. via New

falfa, some of them being very hardy
and cold resistant. A thing like this
is of interest when it is remembered
that North Dakota is very young in
the production of alfalfa. 1t will be re-

TAFT N VERMONT

The following from the Bellows Falls
Times, one of the leading papers of
Vermont. shows the true condition of
politics in the Green Mountain state
where the people do not get a chance to
express themselves in the matter of
nominations: Vermont will send dele
gates to the national Republican conven-
ton next June who will vote for Presi-
dent Taft's denomination. This is alb
solutely sure because the men who con-
troll and shape Vermont Republican con-
ventions are all for Taft. Among
the thousands who will not in any
sense be represented in the convention
there is much nti-Taft sentiment and
not all of it is pro-Roosevelt. The
paper manufacturers do not love Taft.
and a large per ent of the farmers
are either hostile or luke warm. just how
large a per cent will w be known
because we have ne primary system to
register likes and dislikes. However,
the man who thinks Vermont is over
whelmingly and enthusiastically for
Taft is mistaken. The Republican
leaders in Vermont are for Taft, and
many of The followers will join the Taft
chorus. but there are a good many
plain, common folks who have colds
which prevent their singing.
This paper believes that the party
should and will give the president a
denomination. but it is not blind to the
fact that he is not tremendously popular
outside of what might be classed as the
official circle. -Bellows Falls Times.

VAN SlCKLER KEPT IN CHAINS
Honduras Refuses Any Further Con- sessions to Prisoner Than to
 Furnish Cot.

St. Louis, Aug. 1.-Cortlandt B. Van Sickler, former St. Louisan, charged with murder, will have to continue wearing a 56-pOund shot about his ankle while awaiting trial in TruXillo, Honduras, for shooting F. r. Shaw, manager of a banana planta- ton. Miss Florence Van Sickler 5916 Vernon avenue, sister of the prisoner, has been advised by the state depart ment at Washington the Hondura4 government has refused to give Van Sickler any other relief than to SUD- ply him with a cot. He previously did not even have a cot to sleep on.
 Miss Van Sickler asked Senators Stone and Reed to interest the state department in her brothers behalf, and Harold D. Cum, United States consul at Ceiba. was instructed to in vestigate. He reported the Honduran government refused the relief asked, because the jail was insecure, and prisoners there easily could escape unless they were manacled.
 Van Sickler shot Shaw for remarks Shaw i. alleged to have made to him and Van Sickler's young wife Van Sickler surrendered June 1.
