The FARM BOYS
SCHOOL AT FORKS
ACCORDING TO THOMAS p. eooP-
ER LIT Was A GRAND SUCCESS
BUT DID NOT LAST AS LONG AS
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HELD
CLOSED SATURDAY.

Thomas P. Cooper. secretary of the
North Dakota Better Farming associa-
ton returned home Saturday evening
from Grand Forks where he had at
tended the closing exercises Of the
boys school which was held under the
Better Farming association.
THE school was a grand success.
and the only thing that was not just
right was the fact that the school was
held for only one week. If we had to
do it over again we would certainly
have held it longer than the one week
planned. The boys without an excep-
ton We're of the opinion that the
school was the best they had v at
tended, and that the benefits were
something that We're worth looking at.
The success Of the school was some
thing surprising and everybody was
delighted. The school that was con-
Quoted was one that reflected credit on
boys as well as on the instructors
and | want to say" said Mr.. Cooper.
that we were very much pleased with
the, entire weeks work.
Yes, / think that we could have held
it much. longer with great profit to all
of us, for each one of the, boys who
were present had something good TO
say of the work of the school as wen
as the manner in which it was con-
Quoted. I want to say that we will
make this school next year even bet
ter than during the past season. It
was 2 success, only it wasn't held long
enough

Billings.-Believing that if authentic
information regarding the attitude OF
the Grow Indians on the proposed
opening of the remaining part Of their
reservation can be obtained, it Will
show that the majority favors the
proposition, the Chamber of Commerce
is arranging to make searching In
vestigation, and a committee will at
tend the next council of the tribe and
ascertain the views of the redmen.
At the two last preceding sessions OF
congress, bills providing for the open
ing to settlement of this large area
of land have been defeated largely on
the ground that the Indians oppose
such opening. Investigations, which
have been unof1icially made, seemingly
disprove this theory, and it is held
that most of the Indians are favor
ably inclined, in fact they desire to
have the reserve opened if the gov
eminent will agree to turn over the
money resulting from the sale at once.
It is said that whatever opposition
exists among the Indians is due to the
fact that the funds accruing from for
mer sales have been doled out amcng
members of the tribe in amounts OF
Sc semi-annually per capita, and that
more than $4,000 belonging to the
Indians is still held in the United
States treasury.

Billings-Under the supervision OF
an expert a portable alfalfa mill, the
first of it's type ever manufactured, is
being tested in this city and the re-
suits are satisfactory. The machine
converts alfalfa hay into meal, which
is then separated into various forms
of stock food. It's capacity is from
twenty to thirty tons of nay daily,
and when the test is completed the
mill will be moved into the rural dis
tricts where it will be operated. An
immense amount of surplus alfalfa is
stacked throughout the valley and will
be converted into the manufactured
forms.
