In the notice which appeared in the

N D. BANKERS DISCUSS
RESERVE INSTITUTIONS

Williston, N. D, July 3.-The Ninth
district reserve bank came in for at
tention at the hands of the North Da-
kota Bankers association yesterday.
W. c. Mcdowell, of Marion, N. D, lead
ing the discussion, declared his belief
that the Minneapolis bank would prob
ably be the strongest and most con-
servatiVely managed institution in the
United States.
That the reserve bank would not dis
rupt the present relations of the small
country bankers with the banks in
the larger c]enters, such as the twin
cities, Grand Forks and Fargo, is Nc
DowelIs opinion. He believes that the
banks will carry a reserve as great as
that demanded by the present laws,
keeping the legal reserve in tho dis
trict bank, with the balance in the
banks with which the smaller banks
have previously done business.
No Extensive Land Collateral.
Dealing with the real estate and
loan features, Mcdowell does not ap-
prehend that the bankers will deal
extensively in such collateral. The
danger in the new reserve system, as
viewed by Mcdowell, is that some
banks may use up their credit in times
Of plenty, and thus have nothing left
Ol WulCl TO "OEh "lSI IlST0 IS u
real need for extension of credit.
Mr.. Mcdowell does not fear politi-
cal control, and, while he believes that
Wilson's appointment board is slightly
theoretical, still, with a balance wheel
created by the advisory committee, he
sees no danger to the bankers.
Praises Hanna's Appointments.
Governor Hanna's appointment as a
member of the banking board of the
Minneapolis district was lauded. NC
Dowell believed hat his intimate
knowledge of the condition of North
Dakota banks is such that he will be
in a position to accomplish the great
est amount Of good for the state
bankers, just as the postal savings
was inaugurated without any stir in
the financial world. He believes the
new system will be taken up.

News of the Northwest

the North Dakota Experiment station
the United States Department of
agriculture and the farmers at New
Salem, with the purpose of developing
q breed Of Holsteins particularly fitted
to northwestern conditions. The rug
gedness, and the fine quality Of the
animals III the herds indicates that
progress is being made. U. J. Downey
has been in charge Of the circuit since
it was first established. He makes
regular visits to the farms each
month. He works under the direction
of the animal husbandry department
of the United States department OF
agriculture and of the North Dakota
Experiment station.
The dairy farm inspection was in
charge of G. w. Randlett, superintend-
ent Of the North Dakota Farmers in
stitutes, he was assisted by u. J.
Downey n John Christensen who
Is secretary Of the breeding circuit.
The attendance was cut down by the
heavy rains hat had delayed railroad
traffic and made it difficult to get
around with autos. Those who did
were much pleased with the trip.
They not only were pleased with the
but will buy a number. They
can see hat these New Salem farmers
by working together and in getting
good pure bred stock have put them
in a position where the other
in the state and in other states
will bring their money to them for
their good stock. So much interest
was shown in this inspection that 9TH
ers will likely be held. 1t is an in
spiration to farmers to see what these
New Salem farmers have done and
under no better conditions than pre-
walls in any part Of the state. !

New Salem Dairy
Farm Inspection

! more by having the cows freshen in
the fall so now they plan to have the
calves dropped in the fall from Sep
TENDER to December. In this way they
get the winter prices for the buttertat,
and have the heaviest work OF caring
for the cows come in the winter when
there is the most time. They also have
more time to care for the calves. The
cows are run dry in fly time When
other work Is the most pressing.
The first cooperative enterprise was
a creamery which they started over
twenty years ago. They started grain
farming over thirty years ago, but with
poor results. They went more and
more into debt, then they went into
cow raising and making butter. The
trouble with this was hat they could
get but little for their butter, there
was too much variety, this brought
them together n a creamery was the
result. 1t has been in operation for
over twenty years n has never been
shut down in all hat time. his was
the beginning of prosperity. Fine
homes and big barns have been built
from the returns from the cream sent
to the creamery. Instead Of paying
interest these farmers are now draw
ing interest. The standardizing Of
their butter brought a much better
price. They are now likewise stand
ardizing their stock and this will make
it more valuable, 1t will bring the
market to them, it is advertising their
community. They are making New
Salem the Holstein capital of the
northwest. The fact that a buyer can
visit ten to fifteen herds in a day is
a big item. If he is to find ten to
fifteen herds in any other place he
will have to visit that many towns
n it will take a couple Of weeks to
do it and with hotel and livery ex-
pense at each place in addition to the
loss of the time. then if the buyer
should buy one or two head at each
place it would be a big job to get them
all together while at New Sai9m he
could buy them in a day and in IN
other day or two have them all load
ed at the m place. Which means
that he a afford to pay more for
Holsteins at New Salem than where
there is only n herd in the place.
The New Salem breeding circuit was
started as a cooperative enterprise by

Hitting the Mark.

Life: The Army and Navy Journal
comes pretty close to the real basic
trouble in Colorado when it says:
Many of the strikers are foreigners
who do not speak English, and it is
very difficult to make them understand
when an endeavor to explain a situa-
tion to them Is made. Naturally they
are bitterly incensed against the state
troops and mine guards for the deaths
of their women and children and men.
The difficulty was not with the sit
uation, but with explaining it. Wages
were adequate. The bosses were gem
tie and kind. The gunner were en-
gagged for purely altruistic purposes.
Working conditions were clean and
pleasant, and living conditions ranged
all the way from commodious to lux
urious. The owners in New York stood
ready to sacrifice their dividends to the
last penny in order that their employees
might be comfortable and prosperous.
But there was no way in which these
truths could be got to the employees.
They were happy, but they didn't know
1t.
How could they help being incensed
at losing their wives and children when
there vas nobody around to explain 1t
to them? What we need out there is
not United States troops, but inter-
prefers of exceptional eXpository abil-
ity.

BEACH Wins OUT
IN DAMAGE SUIT

Beach. N. D, July 3.-After a de-
liberation of two hours, the jury in
the case Of S.. A. Smith, r.laintiff,
against the city Of Beach, defendant,
rendered a decision in favor of the de-
PENDANT.
The case was tried in justice court
before r. o. ZolIinger. The plaintiff
claimed to recover of the city the sum
of $500 for n months salary as chief
of police Of the city, and an additional
sum of SIS for the services Of H. G.
Bennett, who has been acting as night
Waterman for the past month, Mr.
Bennett having assigned his claim for
salary against the city to Mr.. Smith.
A jury trial was demanded by the
plaintiff.
The plaintiffs argument was that
an emergency existed in the condition
Of the city's affairs which justified the
mayor in nominating the above named
persons to Office, and that, by virtue
Of said emergency, the city was liable
to pay their salaries, notwithstanding
that neither of. the men had been con-
firmed by the council, their bonds ap-
proved or that they took the oath Of
office as required by law. 1t appeared
that Mr.. Brinton had not issued a.
written commission OF appointment to
Mr.. Bennett, and that he had never
taken he official oath required by law
tor an officer to subscribe before en-
tering upon the performance Of his
duties.
Attorneys Koehane, Gallagher &
Jones represented the city, and Jer-
ONE Parks represented the plaintiff.
The case is one which has attracted
much attention in the city and coun-
try, and the manner in which the case
was conducted permitted the people of
Beach and vicinity to learn the con-
tentions of the council and the mayor
from a legal standpoint.

drowning occurred in the Knife river
Tuesday when two men, giving their
names as Fitzpatrick and Crosse, from
Underwood, drove into the river at the
Sanger crossing just east of Hazen
and the team was swept from the
crossing, drowning the team and the
men scarcely getting out with their
lives. They lost all of their luggage
though the buggy and harness from the
horses were later recovered. They
were lightning rod men and also lost
all Of their tools. Following the acct
dent the men stated they knew the
river to be high but a seen tracks

could also. This is the second acct
dent Of high water here in a very

New Salem, N. D., July 3.-The New
Salem Dairy farm inspection proved a
surprise to all that made it. None had
any idea that there was so much good
stock in any one locality in the state.
The farmers from the grain raising
portions of the state could hardly re-
alize hat they were in the state when
they saw all the land fenced and the
fine herds of Holsteins and large
herds too, and so many Of them pure
breds.
Eleven farms were visited in the
day. On each of these was a fine
herd bull and a good sized herd Of
pure breds. Each Of these farmers
has some grades too and some of
them have a few of the common ma
tive cows. These they are gradually
getting rid Of as they have found that
the Holsteins are better producers. In
fact, in the whole circuit of twelve
farmers the Holsteins hold the record
in spite Of the fact that some of the
common COWS are good mixers. They
have found that on an average the
heifer of the first cross produces fifty
pounds more butter han its dam and
looks much like the Holstein. The
second cross looks very much like the
Holstein, in fact in most cases it
would be impossible to tell the differ
enCe.
Another striking fact was the milk
scale and milk sheet which was found
in every barn visited. When the farm
ers spoke of a cow it was in terms of
the number Of pounds of mil. she was
giving a day or the butter fat that
she was producing. They have many
COWS that are giving so to 65 pounds
of milk a day. One COW has given $50
pounds of butterfat in a year. The
value of the butter above the cost of
the feed was Sis and in addition to
that more than five tons Of skim milk,
8 calf and the These farmers
will not keep a cow that does not
make a profit and by their accounts
with each COW they know which are
the good ones. The keeping of the
records has also lead to a study Of the
feeding. One farmer raised the but
ter fat production Of his herd from an
average Of 116 pounds a year to 299
pounds in three years and largely
through the feeding and care.
These farmers are all working to-
gether and learning from each other.
They have found that they can make
