MiIlerS Backing
Marquis Wheat
RuSSElL.MlLLER COMPANY SAT-
ISFIED WITH TESTS-GIVE
APPROVAL.

North Dakota lot many years LAS
enjoyed the reputation of producing
the best bread wheats raised in the
world, and wheat from North Dako-
ia" has commanded premium prices
over wheat Of like grade from other
districts. Any one, therefore, who
urges a new kind Of seed wheat upon
the farmers of North Dakota, as
sumes a grave responsibility. No in
terest in the state risks more through
a mistake in this direction than the
Russell.Miller Milling Co., whose
fours are advertised the world over
az made from the famous North Da-
kota Hard Spring wheat" and are
conceded to be the perfection of -four
milling.
The men Of the Russell-Miller Mil
ling Co., believe that inferior varie-
ties of wheat have been more or less
widely distributed through North Da-
kota during the past years, and that
the prestige Of the state has suffered
therefrom. The advent of Marquis
wheat has, therefore, been watched by
the company with much interest, and
a large number of samples of this
wheat has been tested in the COM
pany's laboratories. Without excep-
ton they have proved of the very
highest milling quality, and superior
even to the best Fife and Blue Stem
samples obtainable from the same To-
calities.
The extra yield and quality of -four,
however, are only incidental to the
other traits Of Marquis wheat which
must appeal to the producer. Mar
quis wheat has been grown just over
the Canadian border for more than
ten (1O) years. It has been developed
from a single plant which is said to
have been cross between Red Fife
and an early Calcutta wheat. At any
rate, the seed is very similar to the
finest Scotch Fife wheat, and accord
ing to the experience Of large num-
Der of growers gives an extra high
yield per acre, and ripens from week
to ten days earlier that Fife or even
Blue Stem. Its straw is OF moderate
length, stiff, and resistant to rust.
Many growers state also that its chaff
holds the kernels tightly 50 tnat
there is little loss from Smelling.
After most careful Investigation,
the Russell-Miller Milling Co.. has Sc
cured a very favorable terms, 100000

EXCELLENT THANKSGIVING DIN
NER FROM PRODUCTS OF
PRISON FARM.

The foregoing menu was served at
the North Dakota state penitentiary
on Thanksgiving day to the convicts.
This year was the first time in the
history Of the penitentiary, when the
principal products were raised by the
inmates of the prison.
The turkeys were raised by W. S.
Howard; the potatoes, sugar corn
and the wheat, which goes to make
the bread, was raised by inmates Of
the farm and garden. The cake was
made in the bakery out of wheat
which was raised tuere. The cream
and ice cream were made from pro-
ducts of the COWS belonging to the
institution, as was the butter. All
that had to be purchased from the
outside was coffee, nutmeg, cranber-
ries and spices.
"The Reflector a monthly maya
zine published by the convicts of the
states prison Of North Dakota, is one
of the six periodicals printed in the
numerous penitentiaries throughout
the United States. All of the work
is done by the prisoners, who set the
type by hand. The editor Of '+The Re-
fector," D. M. Noah, is a life prison
er. He was first sentenced to be
hanged, but secured new trial and
was given life term.
The object Of the papers, judging
from the editorials, is not to ask for
sympathy, but continually set forth
the conditions in new light. as COM
pared with the past and advocating
reforms for the future, which would
help the prisoners.
There are at the present time an
even two hundred inmates In the
penitentiary, an increase Of two over
the past month.

Why Not the Mosfat Road i?

Why should not the newly organ
lied Denver 4 Salt Lake railroad
build westward from Craig by the
way Of the White river valley and on
to Salt Lake?
Members Of Meeker's Commercial
Club believe that the matter can be
put up to Mr.. Erb and his associates
that they can hardly afford to do
otherwise.
AS matter of fact, the road be-
yond Craig has never been definitely
determined, and merely prelimin-
AIRY survey has been made down the
Yampa river. Following this survey
the road would pass through a long
stretch of desolate grazing country
which would furnish practically no
traffic for q railroad. On the other
hand, by building across this way
from Craig easy grades are encoun-
tered, the through distance to Salt
Lake is not materially increased, and
the road secures the traffic of the
most fertile valley in the state, which,
IL not occupied by the Motfat road,
will surely soon be occupied by some
competing line.
1t is understood that the survey
west from Craig will begin at once,
and the Commercial Club will get
busy and make strenuous efforts to
induce them to come this way. 1t is
certainly worth the effort.
