WORK ON GREAT
PLAINS station

Mandan, N. D., Aug 1S.-Dr. E. G.
Chilcot. head of the department of dry
land agriculture in WASHINGTON. D. g..
arrived in the city from the west and
is spending week at the Northern
Great Plains Field station. He has
completely refuted the report to the
effect that operations are about to be
suspended on the farm because Of lack
of funds. - -, -. -',>
The condition which in all probabilt-
ty gave rise to this story is that money
which 1t was thought would be used on
certain buildings has not been placed
IN the building fund but will be used
along other more needful lines, prin-
cipally in the work of investigation
which the station is to carry on.
Two Buildings incomplete.
Work on the seed shed and the as
slstant superintendent's residence, the
foundations for both of which have
been finished. will be suspended until
next year; the former is merely a stor-
age building and win not be needed
until next fall: the latter will not have
an occupant until some time next sum-
mer. These buildings were started he
cause clause in the original appro-
prlatlon of $4,000 for the station made
necessary the use of all of the money
before July 81 this year.
The appropriation of $4,000 for this
year, which must be used by ,J1Iy, I
next year. will be used along the ex-
per1mental lines instead of on the ,lln-
necessary buildings. The only effect
on the labor will be the laying off of
TWO or three brickmasons.
Dr. Ch1lcot says that this appropria-
ton of $4,000 is twice as much as for
any other experiment. station. which
indicates that Mandan has by far the
largest institution of the kind in the

STAMPING out
HORSE DISEASE

Shields. N. D., Aug. 18.-The United
states Bureau of Animal Industry is
making very determined effort to
stamp out disease among the horses
on the Standing Rock reservation, and
al horses are being inspected. Those
round to be affected with "durine" are
condemned and killed.
During the past summer several
hundred head have been DESTROYED.
ana Monday forty three head of mares
We're killed at F't. Yates. This week
twenty eight head will be killed in
P0rcupine district. All the horses are
being rounded up by districts and ex-
anlned The work is under the direc-
ton OF DR.. Treacy Of Bismarck who is
az the. head of the bureau for several
western states, while most of the ac-
tive work is being done by Drs Sim
mons and Rapp.
~ ne hCrses condemned are apprais-
ed, and the Indians are reimbursed by
the government in amounts ranging
from ~ to the maximum value placed
on any animal 500. Many Indians are
losing several head of horses and It is
WORKING hardship on a number
whose only personal possessions are a
ounch OF horses, Owing to the low
price paid for horses condemned 1t is
gong TO be hard to get good mares to
take the place of those DESTROYED and
oreed up drove again. However. the
action of the authorities is no doubt
right, and the remaining horses if not
pred to outside stock will undoubtedly
be at premium later on.
= Ihe disease prevalent on the reser-
walton is general throughout the north
west but so far 1t seems that the diff
ferent state boards have taken no ac
ton to stamp it out, the state veterin-
arlans combining their activity princi
pally to hunting down glandered
horses.E They could get some valuable
pointers from the government bureau
located at Bismarck. H.# = -

PROMINENT men
ARE INVOLVED

Hansboro News: Cando, the county
seat of this county has been in the
limelight for the past ten days, or
since State Humane Officer Blake has
been making some Investigations. Dur
ing that time he has secured affidayits
from some Ave or six Cando girls as
to relations they are said to have been
having with several single and married
men of Cando. In all, it is said, about
thirty-eight men, of more or less
prominence in that city, are implicat-
ed.
The girls have been taken in charge
by officer Blake, and, it is said a
hearing. will be had at Devils Lake
where a session Of Juvenile court is
now being held after which the girls
VIII probably be brought back to Can
do and further hearing had. What
the outcome will be it is hard to con-
lecture but if sufficient evidence is at
hand several of Cando's citizens NAV
get an inside view of Leavenworrh
prison.
We have it on good authority that
the Cando newspapers will have moth
ing to say about the matter this week
- believing evidently that when
Ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise."
Both the newspapers and the citizens
of Cando profess ignorance of any
thing that might bring scandal upon
the citizens implicated and the true
facts in the case are hard to learn. 1t
Is fact, nevertheless, that the dis
trict Judge is in possession of affidavits
signed by five or six Cando girls
which, may cause several married and
single men of that city many regrets
and may even land them behind prison
doors.

that the horse was an estray that he

as no one claimed 1t he kept 1t as his
own. However, he offered to return
the horse, SO 1t is not probable that
