difficult a continuation of the lenient
policies which have at all times hereto
fore been the rule of the company, and
which l had earnestly hoped might con-
tinue to be the rule. We have made
one general extension of time for max
ing payments and have recently beer
considering further extension of pay
ments, and assistance to our settlers in
buying livestock, drilling wells, etc.,
but, under conditions as find them,
anticipate difficulty in securing the sup
port of my associates. Having up to
this time gone the limit voluntarily to
make conditions as easy as they could
possibly be made in new country and
to preserve spirit of optimism ano
harmony on the project, we will not be
inclined to 60 much further until we
have more positive assurance that our
efforts are appreciated.
HOSTILITY TO CAPITAL
This state-needs capital for its de-
velopment. Owing to the European
war, large reserves are tied up in New
York banks, awaiting conservative in
vestment. Idaho, with her limtless
undevoleped resources, needs her share
of this capital, but the unsatisfactory
experiences OF those who have invested
in irrigation securities have given the
state a bad name l look for no i'm
no matter how worthy the
until your legislature, youl
state officials and your people show a
more active interest in protecting the
capital already invested. The state is |
even now seeking capital for north |
and south railroad. 1t is certain that |
more capital will not come if the state |
takes hostile attitude toward that al
ready invested.
After talking with members Of the
State Land Board, l find they are
thoroughly acquainted with the difficult
lies incident to carey act development

believe our company will receive tair
treatment at the hands of the state"

TALKING ACROSS THE
OCEAN BY WIRELESS
Joseph E. Murphy, in the December

Joseph E. Murphy, in the Decembe
Popular Mechanics Magazine.]
Six months ago experts were talk
ing of the tremendous obstacles il
the way of transmitting the human
J voice over long distances by mean,
Of wireless. This seemingly impos
sible feat has now been accomplished
and the accomplishment has come
with startling suddenness. On Sep
TENDER 20, telephone message wal
transmitted from the wireless station
at Arlington, Va, to the navy yart
at Mare Island, near San Francisco
distance Of $500 miles. Remarkable
as this feat seemed at the moment
the actual accomplishment was found
TO be tremendously greater than sup
posed, when on the following day, q
cable message was received from
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, about 1890
miles from the source of the wireless
waves, saying that the conversation
had been heard at that point Sub
sequently it was found that several
other distant wireless stations, among
hem the one at Dar'en, Panama, had
also picked up the message. Three
-ays later when communication was
established with the Eiffel tower in
Paris, the first wireless telephone
message was sent across the Atlantic.
This message was also picked up at
earl Harbor, the voice at Arlington
being thus heard at two points about
5000 miles apart. A

likely to be brought about as a result

perfected it will be installed on the
ships of the American navy, where it
is likely in large degree to supplant
the wireless telegraph. In this wire
less apparatus, as well as in the new
transcontinental telephone line, a de-
vice known as the incandescent audi

What is perhaps as striking feat
ire as the distance over which the
yoice was transmitted in the first test,
the fac that the message was start

ing in New York City and made the |

rdinary telephone line, the electrical |
impulses carried over the wires being
automatically converted into wireless
ayes by transformer at the Airing
IN station. Such combination of
lew apparatus opens practically I'M
United possibilities.
An added touch of interest is given
0 these various accomplishment thru
he fact that they occurred at the
anne time as the first successful use
f the long-distance telephone by
'homas A. Edison, an impossible pro-
eeding for the famous inventor, on
ccount of his deafness, until the

are noticed. 1t requires long time
and great deal of patience to effec
complete cure, 80 do not get dis
couraged, stop treatment or change
doctors because your health does moi
improve as rapidly as you think il
should.
Long experience has proven that
strict observance Of the following
rules will hasten the cure and pre-
vent the spread of the disease:
/. Avoid patent consumption
cures" so-called medical Institutes"
and advertising quacks-they are
moro interested in your money than
in your health.
2. Spend as much Of your time as
possible in the open air, protected, in
winter by suitable clothing.
3. If possible, sleep out of doors,
in tent or on porch If this is
impossible, sleep in room with all
of the windows open, but with enough
cover to keep you warm. Sun and
air tho room well during the day
4. SLEEP ALONE. If possible let
no one else sleep in the same room.
5. Avoid all unnecessary exertion
or excitement.
6. Drink from one to three quarts
OF milk and eat from three to six eggs
daily, unless otherwise ordered by
your physician.
T. Do not drink whiskey, wine,
beer or alcohol in any form, unless
ordered to do so by your physician.
s. DO NOT SPIT UPON THE
FLOORS. SIDEWALKS or STREETS.
Spit into a piece of toilet paper or
paper napkin and destroy Immediate

THIS STATE HAS GOOD LAWS
Wisdom and Foresight of Early Law.
makers Has Been Of Great
Benefit.

Good laws have contributed large
ly to the growth and development of
North Dakota.
From the days of the constitutional
convention which Immediately pre-
coded the admission of the state into
the Union, down to the present time,
the dominating trait of the state gov
erning and enacting bodies has been
their thorough, individual and collec-
tive appreciation of the responsible
ties placed upon them, the wise and
comprehensive manner in which they
have met the various governmental
problems, and the f%ar-seeing intuition
with which they have provided for
the future. Among other places this
has shown itself in the constitutional
provisions surrounding the land grants
and permanent endowments of the
public schools and other state insti-
buttons, whereby provision has been
made for their maintenance, while
assuring a maximum of efficiency at
a minimum Of cost to the state. The
law governing the investment of
state funds accruing from the sale
of common school and institutional
land grants is a model of it's kind,
insuring as it does the use of public
money to the bona fide settler in the
state, at a low rate of interest, and
a thorough stable security for the
public funds.
The enlightened policy of the state
legislative bodies in placing funds
at the disposal of the department Of
agriculture and labor for the express
purpose of promoting immigration, is
in a large measure responsible for
the agricultural development of the
commonwealth. These biennial ap.
preparations have been used to the
best advantage in placing before pro
spective settlers the manifold opportu-
mites offered to the farmer, merchant
and manufacturer.
Other legislation denoting up-to-date
appreciation of the needs of modern
society are the primary election
laws, city government by the commits
sion system, dairy and creamery con.
troll and supervision, game and fish,
pure food, drainage, grain inspection
and grading laws, maximum coal rate
and many other laws on kindred sub.
jects.

DAKOTA IS FAST :.
"'
Becoming A meat AS
WELL AS WHEAT STATE

The contention that the winter eli.
mate Of North Dakota is as good for
feeding stock as that of the corn belt,
will be disputed. Nevertheless it is
true. The cold in winter in North Da-
kota is steady and continuous. In
the corn belt it t%luctuates. being cold
n week and warm the next, and the
gains become irregular. The feed lots
in North Dakota are clean; in the
corn belt they are often miry. In
North Dakota, if the cattle are pro-
vided with the shelter Of a shed and
are also protected from the wind,
they will fatten in good form if prop
erly fed. AS a winter climate for fat
tening sheep North Dakota cannot be
excelled.

GOOD ROADS ARE AN ASSET
North Dakota Highways Compare Far
vorably With Those of Other
Young States.

Good roads are among the principal
veins and arteries of commerce and
communication. Since its early state
hood, North Dakota has given much
attention to this important subject,
but the real impetus came with the
advent Of the automobile. For so
young a state North Dakota need not
be ashamed Of her highways, and each
year shows an improvement and ex-
tension in the important work.
Most Of the country roads r
graded and drained so that they
are in good condition soon after even
a heavy rain. Close attention to the
Improvement of highway conditions
are given by all county governments.
There r at present over $4,000 au.
tomobiles owned and licensed in the
state. The money derived from state
licenses goes into a fund which Is di.
vided pro rata among the counties.
and the new law provides that this
money shall be expended on the roads
under the supervision of the county
commissioners.
Ihree important national autOmO.
bile highways pass through the state,
and there are also several other auto
trails Of lesser Importance. The
Meridian road, extending from Penn.
bina, in the extreme northeastern part
of the state, to Galveston, Tex, passes
along the eastern edge Of the state.
The Wonderland trail, extending from
the heads of the great lakes to the
Pacific coast, passes through the
northern part Of the state, and the
National Parks highway, known al
the Red trail, extending from New
York to the Pacific coast, passes
through the southern part of the state
That North Dakota roads have been
chosen as a part of these importan,
highways is an evidence of their good
quality.

CLAY DEPOSITS
PROSPECTIVE WEALTH IN CLAWS
OF VARIOUS KINDS.
These Valuable Resources Make Pos.
sibIe an Industry That Is Fast
Assuming Large Proportions.

The various and vast clay deposits
of the state are a rich resource of &C.
tual and prospective wealth to North
Dakota. Clays for the manufacture
Of common building brick are found
in practically every county in the
state. Six counties furnish clay from
which the finest of pressed brick are
made. In three counties the clay
found is especially suitable for the
manufacture of paving brick and an
other trio of counties furnish clay for
the manufacture of friedrich. The
clays in all the counties west of the
Missouri river are suitable for drain
tile, fowerpots and other utensils.
Pottery and Porcelain.
In a number of counties also are
found the finer clay deposits suited for
the manufacture of pottery and por.
celain ware, articles manufactured
from which vie in beauty with the
most splendid European and Chinese
porcelain. In support of this claim
most magnificent specimens Of the
potter's art have been created from
these clays and today are on exhibi.
ton in various parts of the country.
These are proof to the most technical
critic that North Dakota abounds in
this valuable and in sufi.
Gent quantity to supply the world
with pottery and chinaware for q
thousand years to come. 1t is merely
waiting for the attention of capital
and the willing hand of man to be
converted into articles of beauty and
service, thereby producing wealth.
Best Pressed Brick.
The manufacture of pressed brick
has already reached large proportions
in the state. Several splendidly
equipped establishments are engaged
in this business and their output is
found as far west as Seattle and other
coast cities and is also competing in
the southern and eastern markets with
the best product of the most famous
brickmakers. North Dakota pressed
brick can be found in several build.
ings in New York city.
Quite recently the government su.
pervising architect, the official intrust-
ed with the selection of brick for all
federal buildings, pronounced pressed
brick from North Dakota to be the
best ever submitted to him. So sue
cessfully did it pass through the rigid
tests imposed OH it that the official
suggested that perhaps it had been
specially prepared for the occasion.
Fresh selections were made, however,
from the run Of the kiln, with equally
good results.
Having Healthy Growth.
The state engineer, in his annual
report, among other things has this to
say:
Keeping pace with the gradual and
steady increase in demand for clay
products, the industry has had a
healthy growth. With increased trans
portation facilities in the western part
of the state, and a greater market for
drain tile, sewer pipe and building
and building material than ever be-
fore, there is an excellent opportunity
for the development of a large and
prosperous industry"
Cement mines are found in the Penn
bina mountains in the northeastern
, part of the state and are as yet prac.
tically u~ndeveloped.

Rapidly the farmers Of the state are
assuming a more favorable attitude
toward a permanent agriculture. Di-
versiflcation of their farms is becom-
ing a more common practice and peo-
pie generally have determined that
the best agricultural practices will
pay and will bring returns in North
Dakota.
