county outlaws are shortly rounded
up in the Blue Ride mountains,
there are several Highlanders who
will be of the opinion that they
passed this way on Friday evening
last. Among these are some who
have ridiculed the sensational re-
ports that have been sent out from
other counties where Sidna Allen
and Wesley Edwards were believed
to have been seen, and always
Establishing deadly weapons and
frothing at the mouth.
Contrary to these reports, the
two Highland suspects aroused
suspicion only by their general re-
semblance to the two missing out
laws and their suspicious actions.
They were first seen by Monterey
ans about 3 o'clock Friday after
noon, lying at full length in an
open meadow one mile east of town,
one of them having removed his
shoes, and both of them sound
asleep in the warm sunshine. They
we're neither disturbed nor inter-
viewed and about $50 passed up
Main street, leaving no cards and
giving out no information, but
giving the populace good chance
to size them up. They filled the de-
scriptions well, as to size, age and
general appearance. The younger
man had his hat sitting we'll back
On his head and he spoke to all
whom he passed. The older one
did not speak, and they passed
through the town without hating
or asking any questions. They did
not have the appearance of profess
sional "bums," being fairly well
clad, but all who saw them brand
ell them as suspects, and the be-
lief that they were fugitives from
Justice was strengthened by their
subsequent conduct, as reported
from the Hightown valley. After
they had called at G. J. liners for
something to eat, nothing further
is known Of their actions until they
came to Hightown on Saturday
morning. Stephenson Bros, who
had heard nothing of MontereY's
suspicious, at once formed the
same opinion, and endeavored to
draw them out. Remembering
that Sidna Allen had been describ'
ed as having some gold teeth, an
effort was made to have him "open
up" but, while some questions
we're put directly to him, he coulo
not be induced to answer, hi;
younger companion doing all the
talking.
They asked as to whether any
large towns were ahead of them
and called for some bread at tht
Hevener home. A piece of loa
was given them, and after goins
westward some distance, into al
open field, they were seen to b.
eagerly deYouring the late city
daily in which the bread had beer
wrapped, rather than the breat
itself. Having read, presumably
the latest from the FALLEN Gang
they pursued their westward jour
ney, and further their deponen
say eth not.

PLAN TO BOOST

Grand Forks Will Be Repre-.
scented at Aberdeen Con-
ference March 20-21

C~ontending that North Dakota and
South Dakota have mutual interests
which can best be exploited by join
ing forces, State Commissioner Of I'M
migration John d. Deets of South Da-
kota has called a conference to be
held In Aberdeen, s. D.. March 20 and
IL, and he has invited the Grand
Forks Commercial club to send repre-
s%entatives to that meeting.
Grand Forks commercial interests
mold very much the same opinion as
does the South Dakota men. and the
result will be that this city will be
represented at the Aberdeen gather
ing.
The plan of work proposed by the
South Dakota immigration commits
sioner is similar to that carried out
by the Northwestern Development
league. which was organised about a
year ago. Commissioner Deets is Of
the opinion that North Dakota and
South Dakota can work to better ad-
vantage by organization on their W
account, doing work outside of that
carried on by the general league.
These two states have so much in
common" says Mr.. Deets, chat It is
the firm belief Of many that our best
interests can be served by joining
II We can then direct the flood
or immigration to these states. both
of which hold forth every kind of an
opportunity to the prospective home
builders"

tend the conference as the representa-
tive Of Grand Forks, but a selection

Under average farm conditions in
Grand Forks county. each farm raises

c%lovcrs, alfalfa and corn or potatoes
should be grown on at least three-

mean that under average farm COM
ditions the area devoted to small
grain would be decreased approxi-
mately 30 acres and that the area
devoted TO grass and cultivated crops
would he increased by that mount.
If such a method We're uniformly
pursued on the farms of this county,
