The snow-Loving Peach.
From the Chicago Journal.
An American naturalist two years
ago brought to this country some
seedlings of a peach tree which he
found growing at Tibet, at an eleva-
ton of $500 feet above sea level. 1t is
expected that this tree can be trusted
to bear fruit in New England clear up
to the Canadian border.
If these hopes are realized, the peach
tree will have undergone mar
velous Transformation. When first
brought to Europe, about three cen
turtles before the Christian era, it
would not ripen fruit north of the
Island of Rhodes. This island is at
the extreme southern edge of the
Aegean Sea, and has a climate much
like that of Southern California-with
less liability to frost.
Those first peaches were tender as a
naval orange. This Chinese variety Is
hardy as a Northern apple.
Such a history gives a new notion or
mans power to remake the food
part of the world to suit
himself. But think of the two-and-
twenty centuries consumed in the
process.

Injured Eating Beans in Boston; Claim
They Came from New York.
BOSTON, Jan. 29.-That some of
the beans eaten in this centre of
culture are baked in New York has
been revealed through a lawsuit just
tried in the Municipal court. Neil III.
Strome, a private detective, ordered
"beans" in local restaurant and
broke a tooth upon a glass bead.
Strome entered suit for $500 dam
ages.
The revelation as to the source of
the bean supply came through the
testimony of the manager. He said
that the beans were baked in New
York and came to Boston in gallon
cans If there were any beads mixed
in he did not think his restaurant
was responsible.

THE LABOR

With the building season almost
here, there is no change in the situa-
ton between the local contractors and
the workers in the building trades. For
the past three or four months little
has been done in building lines. The
contractors declared at the close of the
last season for the open shop. There
have been some efforts to get the con-
tractors and the union workers togeth-
al. but it has not succeeded.
The labor union people offered to ar
bitrate the situation. The master
builders said they had nothing to arbi-
trate; that they were not treated fairly
last year by union men, who called
men Off jobs repeatedly for what the
contractors deemed were without just
ifieation, and that in the future they
intended to do what work they could
under the open shop proposition, and
when that failed they would quit bust
ness.

the situation, the 100000 contract for
the addition to Sacred Heart academy
has been given to a Chicago firm.
A number of local union men have
removed to other cities. This is espe-
cially r. of carpenters and brick
layers. Few plumbers have left, as a
local plumbing and electric concern has
been established by the members of
the union.
Some of the contractors are bringing
in ~non-union men, and all claim TO
have a sufficient force for all the work
they have SO far under contract.
The real test will come when some of
the larger buildings here are secured
by local contractors.
Local architects have been busy on
work here in Fargo and outside. There
will be Il large number of new school
buildings and churches erected over
the state this summe and. in addition
to a number of business blocks, Fargo
will build a great many residences.

ATTACK is

The state of North Dakota is up in
arms over the slanderous, vicious and
uncaIlcd for assaults that arc being
made upon it's institutions, its cities
and its booster organizations by a few
tso-callcd leaders Of a grain selling ex-
change. North Dakota has become
noted throughout the nation as a lead
cr in progressive agriculture. North
Dakota citizens, both in the country
and in the city, have united their ef-
forts and have heretofore worked har-
monious1y together to build a great
commonwealth upon the sure founda-
ton o. ~cientiiic. cornmon-sense and
efficient business principles.
Everywhere North Dakotans have
realized that the one-crop idea, which
wears out the land, is poor policy.
Everywhere farmers and business men
have realized that corn, hogs, clover,
alfalfa, stock raising, etc, were better
than exclusive wheat raising. This
idea is generally accepted n the in
telligenl. hard-hcadcd North Dakota
farmers have realized it's force even
more strongly than has the city man.
Having come to this conclusion,
North Dakota proceeded to put it into
immediate practice. Everybody took
off his coat and jumped int the game
of transforming North Dakota from an
exclusive grain raising state to a state
where d~airying, hog raising, etc,
would bring wealth and real lasting
prosperity, building up the land, in
stead Of tearing it down. This move
ment is now in its full swing. Here
tofore the state has worked at it prac-
tically as one man and its success has
been n of the notable events in the
history Of the northwest.
A few men in this state, others from
outside the state, are now engaged.
however, in q deplorable attempt to
tear down this work. These men have
come to North Dakota and are trying
to undo the work that the whole state
is engaged in. And this is the argu-
ment that they are using:
y They say greater production means
that the crops will become so great
that the farmers will get less money
for them. Therefore the farmers
should not improve their land, should
not build up their farms. should not,
in short, try to produce more and bet
ter crops, because to increase produc-
ton merely means greater opportunity
for the middleman.
OF all the silly twaddle, of all the
ridiculous rot that was ever advanced,
this certainly looks like the limit. It
is a return to the reasoning Of the age
when inventions wero destroyed be-
cause they would make less work for
the laboring a. Such arguments
are an insult to the intelligence Of
! North Dakotans.
AS a matter of fact. this kind Of an
attack has reacted on those who at
tempted to come to North Dakota and
dictate to the people of this state how
they were to run their affairs. From
every part of the state reports are
reaching The Forum that the people
are arising in just resentment at this
deplorable effort on the part of outsid-
ers to destroy the work Of years of eff
fort on the part of a united and har-
monious people.

It is the duty of railroad companies to have their passenger cars
TunlSated at least once in thirty days and all cars should have
posted therein a printed notice of the time and place the a wa
last tumlgated. Complaints of dirty and unsanitary cars will re-
ce1Ve the prompt attention of the railroad commission.
The railroad companies of the state must have a bulletin board
upon which at least thirty minutes before the scheduled time of the
arrival OF a train, must be placed the fact whether such train is OF
time and, If late, how late. which bulletin must be changed at inter
vals OF one hour until the arrival of such delayed train. But pas
senger trains not more than fifteen minutes late shall be deemed on
time SO far as the bulletin is concerned. ANY failure of a station
agent to properly post his bulletins, if reported to the railroad COM
