Wheat Crop In Fine Condition.

The growing condition of winter
wheat still shows 1t to be better than
for many years, 1t being 1903 per cent,
according to the December report Of
the board of agriculture. In the prin-
clpal wheat growing counties there
were never better prospects. The
present condition OF che wheat, COM
pared with the. condition of the crop
last year at the same time shows the
present crop to be 1907 per cent. The
condition of the soil moisture, COM
pared with last year, is 1885 per cent,
which is better at this time than for
many years. Many reports say, how
ever that wheat is growing rank be.
cause of the inability to pasture it,
owing to so much moisture in the
ground.
The report issued by the department
shows the condition Of crops still in
the farmers hands, present condition
of Livestock, the normal condition be-
ing represented by 100 per cent, and
the number yet on hand compared
with last year The farmer has 81
per cent of his corn on hand, 2O1a per
cent Of wheat, 3S per cent of oats and
81 per cent Of cotton. The present
condition OF livestock is: Cattle, 93h
per cent; hogs 9Oh per cent; sheep,
SO 2-3, and poultry "a. The number
Of livestock yet in the farmers hands
as compared with the same time last
year is; Cattle, SS per cent; poultry,
95h per cent; hogs, "a per cent.
According to reports that have
come in, farmers generally have plen-
ty Of feed to last through the winter.
There is plenty Of pasturage aside
from that furnished by the wheat
fields and so far the winter has been
mild enough for the livestock to
make their living off the pastures.

CARNEY UPHOLDS
1872 CONTRACTS
COUNSEL FOR PRESENT BOARD
OF EDUCATION GIVES NO.
TicE OF APPEAL.
DECISIVEACTION IN LONG BATTLE
cruce Loses; Board Which He Dis
charged ls Sustained BY the
Oklahoma County Dis
trlct Court.

A peremptory writ OF mandamus
directing the present state board OF
education to carry out the contracts
entered into between the 1912 board
and Wheeler & Co., together with six
other book companies, was granted by
District Judge John j. Carney.
In deciding the case Judge Carney
held that the 1912 board had exercised
discretionary powers and that having
awarded the contracts to the book
companies the duty was incumbent
upon the present board to carry out
the contracts, and that in so doing
their duty was purely ministerial.
The present board had contended to
the court that an issuance of the
writ would be to divest the board of
its discretionary powers and make of
it a titulary body to the judicial
branch of the state government.
The decision in substance means
that the old contract holders win so
far as the disrtlct court is concerned.
Counsel for the present state board
of education Immediately gave notice
of appeal from the district courts de.
cision and notified the court that the
appeal would be perfected within a
few days. The contracts involve the
publication Of school books to be used
inthe public schools of the state dur.
ing five years, commencing August l.
1918. Value of the publications is es'
timated at $1,593,841.81.
Fight Started in 1912.
Judge Carney's decision terminated
In district court litigation commenced
almost Immediately following the let
ting OF the contracts, July 20, 1912
and forms large chapter In a con
trOversy which, among other things
resulted in the summary removal by
Governor Lee Cruce Of several mem
bers OF the board which let the con
tract and also was the sole cause OF
Governor Cruce converting in extra
ordinary session the state senate in
November, 1912, for the purpose Of
having confirmed the board members
named to succeed those removed. The
book question" was the first serious
controversy in which the governor be-
came involved.

THOMAS COOPER
VISITS STATION
HIGHLY PLEASED

Thomas Cooper, director of expert
ment station and field work in North
Dakota, was in Dickinson on Satur-
day in his official capacity.
While the Dickinson station is not
the oldest in the state by a good
many years, it is one Of the most i'm
portant, which fact is now we'll rec
ognized in agricultural circles of the
Northwestern states.
The Dickinson station has been
foremost of the experiment stations
of the state in introducing alfalfa.
This crop is no longer an experiment
in North Dakota. 1t can be success
fully grown and the farmers are COM
ing to know that it is one of the
most valuable forage crops that can
be grown. Mr.. Cooper estimates that
there are $4,000 acres of alfalfa
growing in the state, and the acreage
will be greatly increased each sue
cesslve year.
Director Cooper was much pleased
with the growth of shrubs and trees
at the local station. A great deal of
fruit has been successfully started at
the farm. Of course corn, small
grains and grasses get most atten-
tion at the station, but every farm
should have fruit and trees on the
place and the Dickinson station,
among other things, has practical OBJ
ject lessons for the settlers in this
line as well as in the greater things,
Mr.. Cooper is connected with the
Agricultural college at Fargo and it
is through his department that the
government, under a very recent law,
appropriates $4,000 for extension
work. This new fund was available
July 1sr, and the working Of the law
is such that the state will get an in
crease of $4,000 to $4,000 annually
for some years. 1t will aid the work
Of agriculture great deal and natur-
ally Mr.. Cooper was feeling rather
good over the matter, as his depart
ment has been very much crippled on
account of the lack of funds in the
past.

CHAUTAUQUA WAS
A SUCCESS; COM
ING AGAIN 1915

The citizens of Dickinson and cvicin-
ity are we'll pleased with the first
Chautauqua program of five days
which closed Monday evening. So
well satisfied were our people that
they contracted for fve-days' enter
tainment for 1915.
The lectures as a whole were well
received and the various entertain
ments averaged good. Monday night
was probably the best of all and was
well worth the price of a season tick
ct. The vocal solos by Donald
Boucher and Miss Isabel Courtney
were high-class and pleased every
body as did the Hungarian orchestra.
Those who heard the orchestra in the
afternoon were delighted and they
found the numbers even better in the
evening.

GUN CLUB men 4
Have BEST MEET
At DICKINSON

:. The second registered tournament
held by the Dickinson Gun Club at
their grounds in the western part IT
the city on Friday and Saturday 0f
last week proved to be the best tour
nament held in the state this year.
The club had everything in order and
readiness and the whole tournament
went through with out hitch. a
good representation was present from
the near by clubs. ;Mandan and
Beach each sent full squads, while
Manning, Medora and DeSart were
well accounted for. Many shooters
were present from the eastern part
Of, the state and from South Dakota.
j. P. White Of Watertown, s. D.,
carried off the honors in the amateur
class, while j. E. Dickey was high
man among the professionals. Three
trophies were given in the shape Of
watch fobs. These were given to- the
three high state men and were won
by A. B. Chezik of Portal, first; j.
W. Sturgeon, Dickinson, second; D..
G. Lemke, Grand Forks, third. The
first prize was an 18 k. gold watch
fob, the second was IA k. gold fob
and the third was a silver fob. The
Dupont quail scarf pin, given by the
DUPONT powder Co. for the amateur
making the highest average using
DUPONT powder, was won by j. W.
Sturgeon.
The following are the scores made
each day in the regular events:

.M|LLERS COME
FROM FLORIDA

G. r. Miller, Miss Emma Miller
and Mrs. Creswell were in Dickinson
on business at the q. S. land Office
Saturday. They came to Belfield
from northwest of Midway and took
the local passenger train to, this
city. Mr.. Miller and his sister came
out from Florida a few months ago
and have decided to make Western
North Dakota their home. They
were formerly Of Faribault, MINI.
Mrs. Frank Zohner, "a resident Of the
Midway country, is q sister Of the the
recent arrivals from Florida and git
was her: and her husband who per-
suaded the brother and sister to
come to this state. Miss Emma
Miller purchased Mrs. Creswell's re-
linquishment and filed a homestead
on the land while at the Dickinson
land Office last week. Mr.. Miller is
looking for a homestead and thinks
that he can; get hold of one in the
neighborh within a short time. He
believes that the settlers should give
more attention to the growing Of live
stock and get away from the one crop
grain idea as much as possible.

WESTERN OAK. RY.
IS PUSHING ON
LATEST REPORT

For two weeks there have been
persistent rumors that the Western
Dakota Ry. Co. was going to extend
the present grade from Dunn Center
in westerly direction to a point
near the Arnett ranch. A Mandan
paper says that the grading contract
is actually let to Florence McAuliff.
This may or may not be correct.
However, it comes from good au-
thority that the line is to be extended
and that it may be ironed to a point
near the Arnett ranch this year. AS
near as can be learned the Northern
Pacific has plans for building through
the Bad Lands, the line to run
through south of the Kildeer noun
tains. Just which survey is to be
used no one seems to know at the
present time. One report, from
source which seems reliable, says
that the company will in all proba-
bility make Dunn Center a division
point and during the coming year
build through the Bad Lands, con-
Meeting with the main line at some
point west.
The idea of a division at Dunn
Center seems feasible as the distance
is about 10 miles from Mandan.
This town is about 80 miles west Of
Golden Valley to which point freight
trains are run out from Mandan via
Stanton three times a week.
