Mlardan. N. ID. April 9.-While the
people in this city and section were
certain that the government expert
mental station which is located but a
mile and a half from the business sec
ton of Mandan, was to be a venture of
some size, few have realized the mag
nitude of the proposition. Superin-
tendent Peterson, who has been in
conference with Prof. IL. C.. ChiIcott and
other officers of the department, states
that the plans being formulated at
the present are not hasty, but every
thing Is being lone with an eye to-
ward the future. The power of the
great northwest will not be felt
very largely in the first year or per-
naps the second, but ultimately the
entire territory which it will serve
will come to feel its need. Every
farm and agricultural paper will
seek stories from the work accornp-
lished and Mandan will receive more
advertising than through any other
influence of the station should make
the farmers in this section known
throughout the northwest as a pros
porous class of scientific agricul-
~turists.
Waiting on Weather.
The weather is the only thing that
will retard the work at the station.
Superintendent Peterson states that the
department officials have not as yet
decided as to whether the buildings
will be of frame or brick construction
but that their decision will be made
within the week. The present rainy
weather will aid largely In freeing
the ground from frost and another
ten days should see the work in full
blast.
Foundations will be put in as soon
as practicable for the machine shed
and barn and the work on those
structures will be rushed to COM
pletion. Following these the work
will be started on the quarters for
the men.
Twenty-Five men or more will be
employed from the outset on the
construction work, which will be
done at day labor with the excep-
lion of such work as plumbing,

news Of the awful catastrophe of the

the people of Minor and vicinity,
their hearts went out Immediately to
them and ideas of aid were at once

The matter was suggested to the

First Years Work.
The work of the first year will be
as extensive as time and condition
will permit. Practically the entire
tract of land will be broken, al
though but little of it will be used for
cultivation purposes. Just exactly
start will not be definitely decided
upon until later, but it is certain
that a start will be made on testing
out every variety Of every species Of
vegetable common to the northwest.

be the quest,

spoken of a number OF times in

A start will be made on a small tree

VIII Employ Fifteen Men.
Superintendent Peterson states that
while a large force will be employed at
the outset on the construction work of
the eleven buildings the number will
not be 80 breatly reduced when the
farm is being operated. At least fif-
teen men will be regularly employed
In the various branches of the work.
This number will undoubtedly be in
creased as the work increase with the
years.

time it is expected that the work will
be well along. Just how long he
will be here is unknown.
