Ryder Journal: Governor Hanna's
great showing of a quarter million
dollars saved the state the first year
of his administration is not surpris-
ing to the friends who urged his pre-
ferment. He gave evidence of his
determination to conduct the states
finances as the finances of any bust
ness institution would be conducted
by his fearless pruning down Of ap-
preparations made by our state legis-
lature. amounting to another quarter
million dollars. when a weak governor
would have took refuge in the time
honored position that legislatures
represent collective wisdom. Aside
from economy practiced he has en-
forced the laws without fear or favor.
Mr.. Hanna's friends may we'll be
jubilant that time has indicated their
faith in his ability and fearlessness.

however, s%trenuously exerted had they
been able to detect the offender or
get any clue until a pool Of blood was
discovered in the yard and leading
from it a trail Of blood to wagon
tracks outside as of a hog or sheep
had been dragged through the pool
and thrown into the wagon. seemed to
indicate some solution to the mystery.
Following the tracks they arrived at
the place occupied by julius Tiff. Re-
turning to Mandan McGillic had a
search warrant sworn out against Tif
and upon a careful search of the
premises a quarter Of pork as we'll as
other things claimed by McGillic to
belong to him, were found.
Jamestown Capital: North Dakota.
we'll feel proud of the results secured
In the boys corn growing contest held
last year. The record by the BOYS for
the state was 1867 bushels of mature
corn from a single acre, secured by
a young twentieth century farmer in
Ransom county. Minnesota boasts of
q boy in the southern part of that
state, in a region which has been
growing corn for probably fifty years
n nearly 100 miles south of the lati-
tude in which the winning corn was
grown in this state, who grew over
1873 bushels of corn. When this
yield as reduced to dry corn or, as
1t Is termed in the N. D. contest, ina
ture corn, the yield is reduced to
1924 bushels. The North Dakota
winner grew 1867 bushels of mature
corn, SO that this state is ahead of
the sister state in the sample of corn
raising boy who can deliver the goods.
This is a record of which some of the
older. corn states well might feel ches-
ty about, for instance.
