BANKS IN STATE
MAKE GOOD GAIN
Are Now in Better. Condition
than Ever Before in His
tory of the State

Grand Forks, Sept. l6.-
Bank statements furnish sure
indication of the progress Of a
state of community and hand
some increase in banking indi-
Gates a growing, prosperous
country. Officials of the bank
ing department located at
Grand Forks calls attention to
the figures of the last state
ment as an indication of growth
and development.
State banks of North Dakota
have increased their resources
by $49O,185.65 during the last
year, according to the calcula-
tions based on the statements
issued August 8, 1913, and
September 4, 1912.
The total resources of such
banks at present amount to
$62, ,466,112.05, against $751;
965,926.40.
The increase is largely due
to the growth of time deposits,
which! have shown an increase
of $1,513,234.21. Other forms
of deposits appear to have been
on the down grade during the
past year.
The surplus funds have in
creased by $27, ,897.05, and the
total capitalization has also
gone up $37,700.
The apparent increase in de-
posts outside of certificates is
probably due to the fact that
the statement recently issued
was called before the crops be-
gan to move, while last year
the movement was in full
swing by the: time the record
was taken.

70 EXTEND THE '''''..'::'.''
W|LOR0SE BRANCH
Great Northern Making Plans
to Take in More Territory
in this State

Plentywood Herald: From
the best information available
we learn this week that there
lis quite a move being made
for the extension Of the Stanley
Wildrose railroad. We under
stand that the right of way
through Dakota has been pur-
chased, and the Montana sur
vey made some time ago inter-
secting and connecting the
wood and Antelope will be
followed. This extension will
shorten the main line % miles
and also avoid all the heavy
grades and floods that the
Great Northern has had to con-
tend with in the Missouri and
Milk River Valleys. The pres
ent extension from Plentywood
west will be made a part Of
this trunk. line to Havre and
Great Falls.
This line will pass through
the best agricultural portion Of
North Dakota and Northern
Montana and will open up and
develope the great Fort Peck
reservation. This will make
Plentywood both a freight and
passenger division point. The
people Of this northern section
and of this prosperous city
should luster themselves for
the good fortune is store for
them.

Peterson of Grano. came near
cremating q man today when he
set fire to straw pile on his farm.
The stack was completely envelop-

clothes on fire. The fellow was
taking a quiet snoose In the stack
and Peterson had no knowledge
Of his presence until the man came
forth a mass Of flames.
The fellow was a harvest hand

been working on a threshing RIG
west Of Grano and was making

Train CONVICTS As
EXPERT FARMERS
State Penitentiary to Offer
Different Employment to
Its Prisoners

Grand Forks, Sept. 1s.-North
Dakota may abandon twine and
brick making in the state peni-
tentiary and substitute therefore
work on farms which will result
in giving prisoners thorough
idea of modern farming methods,
placing them in a position to go
onto the land when they conclude
their terms of servitude.
The fact that unions now block
the way to these men, prohibiting
employment to them in the trades
which they have learned back of
the prison walls, has resulted in
the movement to agricultural train
ing. and which has the support
of the North Dakota Banking AS
sociation, the North Dakota Better
Farming Association e.nd other or
ganizations of like nature.
In the North Dakota penitentiary
large percentage of the prison.
ers are employed in brick and
twine making and they are fitted
with useful trade when they
leave the prison. But organized
labor bars the way to employment
for many of these men, prohibit
ing them from taking jobs where
union men are employed.
Investigating the conditions in
the penitentiary with respect to
the training of prisoners, COM
mittee of the State Bankers Asso-
citation, recently recommended a
change is the. system of handling
the men The purchase of addi-
uonal lands and the farming of
these properties on an extensive
basis is urged, modern farming
methods being proposed that the
prisoners may be trained in the
new ideas of agriculture. On the
farm the demand for experienced
and skilled labor is always great.
and there is no organized labor
against non-union men. MI

HAS PASSED THE
EXPERIMENTAL STAGE
Corn Crop in North Dakota
Can Now be Raise With
Big Success

North Dakota has reached an
important stage in it's corn
growing. The crop is no long
er a speculation and ,uncer-
tainty. It has passed the ex-
perimental stage and it is
now simply a question of pro-
per selection of native grown
seed corn and preparation Of
the ground with a reasonable
amount Of cultivation.
Years Of testing has Demon
strated that there are fifteen
to twenty varieties of corn
that will mature in this state.
This certainly affords the plant
ers ampel variety from which
to select their favorite kinds.
With proper selection of seed
determined the popularity of
corn in this state is assured.
The turning point has been
reached and it will for all fu-
ture time be a favorite crop.
By planting fields in corn the
foulest land Gan easily be clean
ed and the cultivation rests
the soil as much as summer
fallow, in addition returns are
secured from the corn.
Probably the best result from
growing corn is that the farm
ers Immediately begin to look
around for some methods of
using the crop that is produced.
This leads to raising live stock
Of some kind, generally cattle
and hogs. This leads to crop
diversification and rotation and
develops methods that scienti-
fic agriculturalists insist are
needed in this part of THE
northwest.

Centinary Association, and the
unWeiling of this monument
will take place in 1914, just 100
years after the permanent es-
tablishment Of peace between
the United States and Great
Britain.
Under the plan of the Cam
adian association, six of those
monuments will be erected at
various places along the inter-
national boundary, and the
Pembina site has been select
ed for one Of these because of
the many historic Incidents as
sociated with this district.
It was here that the Selkirks
among the earliest Of English
settlers on the American con-
tinent, cast their lot, the site
selected for the monument is
about at the center of the dis
trict held by the Selkirks, here
also the trail from the Twin
Cities through Grand Forks to
Winnipeg crossed the boundary.
Also it was in this immed-
late district that the famous
Hudson Bay Company, began
it's fur trading with the In
dians.

berry and Ran When Con-
fronted by Officer

A negro, whose name we have
been unable to learn, was shot
twice on Monday evening of
this week at Portal by an en-
ployee Of the 500 Line, when
the dusky fellow resisted ar
rest. Up to the time Of going
td press the injured man is
still alive, but there is little
hope for his recovery.
Early in the evening a boy
about 16 year old from some
point in Illinois, who had spent
a few weeks in the vicinity of
Portal, was held up by a bunch
of transiests and relieved of
about $18 and ticket to Minot.
The negro was in the bunch Of
robbers and as soon as the
crime was reported an officer
of the 500 Line tried to arrest
him. He tried to run away
and several shots were fired at
him, two Of which took effect,
one in the leg and the other
went through the abdomen.
The boy who was held up
had been bothered for the past
ten days or more by several
big boils on his neck, and Mon-
day he suffered 80 much that
The decided to give up his job
at the threshing machine and
go to his home in Illinois.
While in Portal waiting for
Train No. 103 he got in with a
bunch of transients and to
them he told of his plans. A
short time before the train pull
ed out he was asked by his
newly made acquaintances to
take a walk toward the Grand
View hotel and after getting
well into the darkness one of
the bigger fellows in the bunch
showed a big revolver into the
boys face and demanded that
he come through with all his
money and also his transport
alton. The boy gave up his
possessions and was left to go
on his way.
+ Although there were five or
six men in the bunch that held
up the boy, only the negro and
one other man 80 far have
been arrested. Sheriff Stain
hofer and Deputy Heath and
States Attorney Hanson went
to Portal Tuesday morning i'm
mediately after being notified
of what had taken place. Oth-
er arrests may follow later.

ing of it, asd walked to his
residence carrying a suit case

then on he kept growing worse,
and at seven o'clock in the ev-
ening a physician was called.

summer Of 1911. He always
took an active part in the up
building Of Bowbells and sur
rounding country, and was one
of the hardest workers for
the creation, and later during
the county seat fight. He was
an able, conscien tious, careful
lawyer, whose practice extend
ed all over this section Of the
state. He had a very pleasing
disposition, was always good

every ybody with whom he came
in contact. II.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
TO SELL LANDS

The Hettinger, North Dako-
ia, commercial club plans a pub
lie auction of lands for the
benefit of the many settlers
who are coming into that ter
ritory this fall.
The plan of the club is SIM
pie. Present owners, many Of
whom have gained Ian d s
through homesteading, a n d
who never intended farming
the land themselves, have list
ed their properties with the
commercial club land bureau.
In conducting the sale, the
commercial club will handle all
features incident to the transac-
ton, and no charges will be
made for commissions, etc.
This plan is entirely new 80
far as newly settled districts
of the west are concerned and
it is expected that it will op-
crate to a good advantage.
It has long been felt by those
interested in the growth Of the
state that some way should
be found to prevent land buy
er from being imposed upon by
unscrupulous real estate dealers
many Of who not only misrep-
resent the quality of their
land but charge larger prices
than location and fertility will
Justify, resulting in dissatisfied
settlers and unfavorable re-
ports regarding North Dakota.
At the last meeting of the
North Dakota Federation of
Commercial Clubs h e d at
Grand Forks, this matter was
informally discussed and action
was urged upon commercial
clubs.
It is possible that the Het-
finger experiment may open the
way to more satisfactory rela-
tions between incoming buyers
and the different communities.
