OLD FARM MORTGAGE
KNOCKED over ROPES
Governors Conference Believed
to Have Sounded Death
Knell Of Farmers Troubles.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 9.-The fifth an
nual governors conference adjourned
Friday and met informally Saturday
with President Taft at Washington
and discuss rural credits and to meet
formally next year at Colorado Springs
at date as yet undetermined. In Its
dying hours resolution was adopted,
which in the opinion of many sounds
the knell Of the time honored mortgage
on the farm and presages the advent OF
Q new financial era for the farmers OF
the country. Should the intent of this
preliminary resolution attain fruit on
the governors believe it will result in
the establishment of a new system OF
state banks throughout the United
States, governed by a uniform state
law
These banks, under the resolution
would be financed by private capital
and would operate under legislation
sufficiently elastic to enable them to
issue. bonds for short or long terms
upon American farms, in lieu of mort
cages The bonds in turn, in the opin-
ion of the governors, would be listed
under state supervision on the stock
exchanges of the world.
HadIey Makes Speech.
ALI measures of correction designed
to check the increasing cost of living
will prove Intellectual in the opinion Of
SdOV6fuOI t1dOlGy, VI NllSSOuIl, WHO dQ-
dressed the conference, IF the Ameri-
can people continue to produce less and
eat more; continue to sell less Of food
stuffs to the other nations of the world
and to buy more of foodstuffs from the
other nations of the world"
The problem that confronts us
therefore, continued the governor, 'is
as to how to increase production, and
that problem, in turn. involves the So
luton of the problem as to how to get
people and competent people onto the
land. The proper cultivation of our
farms necessitates smaller farms or
better cultivated farms, and smaller
farms or better cultivated farms means,
of course moro people working on the
job.
1T is the duty of the people, acting
together as an organized society, to
concentrate the powers of government
whenever it is necessary so to do to
promote the happiness and the welfare
of the people. And, so, if I am cor
rect in my position upon this propo-
sition, then recognized function of
state and national government should
be to bring about a proper distribution
of population between the cities and
the country, and also to direct, in an
effective way, the cultivation of our
soil"
The governor then discussed the ne
cessity of improving social life in the
country.

BYRNE LOPS OFF Jail
sEN1ENCEOF WITNESS
AGAINST FORMER PALS
Judge Gave Him 80 Days After
Arrangements Had Been
Made for Immunity.

n I
Mitchell, s. D., Dec. 9.-There was q
great deal Of wonderment created in
the city yesterday when 1t was an
nounced that Phil Medley had been
pardoned by Acting Governor Byrne
from his sentence OF 80 days in the
county jail. which sentence had been
pronounced Wednesday by Judge
Smith.
Medley was one of the six young fell
lows tried at the present term Of court,
charged with robbing the clothing store
OF d. T.. Becker At the last moment
all the parties changed their plea from
not guilty to guilty with the hope Of
getting a light sentence Medley, ac-
cording to the general sentiment, was
be understood why his sentence was so
light, while Koolish, Asptnwall and
Woodman received six months in the
penitentiary.
It was stated last evening by one Of
the attorneys connected with the prose-
scution that Medley's pardon came
about through his willingness to turn
the other parties. The prosecution
knew that Medley was not as deep in
the recent transactions as the others
and an effort was made two months
ago to get him to tell what he knew,
and he finally consented to do SO with
the understanding that he would be
recommended to the court for a fine Of
800. His evidence, however, was not
needed. Believing that Medley was go
ing to turn states evidence, the de-
Tense decided on changing it's plea.
When the court sentenced the parties
he gave Medley more than was antici-
pated: In lacking on the thirty days
In Jail. H. e. Hitchcock, Medley's at
torney, went to Pierre on the night
train and presented to the acting gov
ernor the arrangement that had been
made and asked for pardon. Under
those circumstances the acting COVER
nor granted the writ. which will arrive
in the city today, and Medley will be
given his release this afternoon.
81 On the night of the robbery Medley
was but slightly Implicated in the work
that was done, and because Of his con-
dition he was used more of tool In
helping to get away with the goods
than involved in any actual crime.

VALLEY REPORTS PLEASING
Gratifying News is Received From
Nearly Every Part of the
Country.

The following optimistic crop re-
port appeared in yesterdays Crookston
Times:
From all sections of the Red river
valley tho most f1atterinG reports are
received regarding the progress Of
seeding and the termination of the
early sown grain. The rains of the
past few weeks have been Just suffi-
cient to furnish the required amount
of surface moisture and many of the
fields are green. All the land plowed
last fall is seeded and considerable
spring planting has been done. Some
wheat will be seeded on spring plow-
ing. but the majority of farmers have
finished wheat and are blowing for
oats. barley and flax. One dealer alone
has sold fifty gasoline pillow rigs
more than he had sold In the previous
ten years, and an immense amount
of land is being plowed.
Many believe that the total acre
age will be larger this year than ever
before in the history of the valley, hut
this depends on the weather. If the
weather keeps fair without too much
rain to interfere with blowing with
tho big rigs, the prediction will with
out doubt come u The showers
were of immense benefit to the dairy
men, as the meadows are coming on
rapidly and the grazing is already In
creasing the milk flow, and cutting
down the amoun of ground fced nec-
essary. which is a big item because OF
the high price of all feed. including
hay. thus giving those who have an
abundance of hay, a greater margin

Plans are Under way now to secure

ganization of the Grand Forks County
Old Settlers association.
The Red river valley meeting was
held last year at Walhalla and had
a good attendance. but no place was
designated at the convention city for
1912. 1t is because of the reason that
the old residents of this district are
making a campaign to land the big

will be held in June and in Grand
Forks If possible.

ty." said n old resident today,

Informed James Dinnie of Grand
Forks this morning over the telephone
that sufficient funds could not be
raised for a team in Fargo and that
he ball park will be sold immedi-
ately.
This settles the matter SO far as
the gate city Is concerned and Bran
don will be the sixth town in the
league without q doubt.

Kelsey. J.. r. Carlcy. Leslie Stinson.
+. G. Griffith, j. Gordon Gray, b. p.
Sandlie. e. A. Tostevin and Ray Dur
lick was named this morning to make

city from Winnipeg tonight to dis
cuss the situation with the promoters
of the league in this. city.
The committee on the ball park
will meet at s o'clock tonight. when
it Is expected a permanent site for
the park will be announced.
There is hardly a question IL that
Grand Forks will be in the league, as
the old town is baseball crazy.
