LEARNS OF DEATH OF
BROTHER IN NORTH OAK,

Madame Schumann-Heink, the
world famous contralto, who has
filled limited number of Con-
cert engagements in North Da-
kota this spring, was sadened
during her visit at Grand Forks
where she received word from
Germany, telling of the death of
her brother who has been fighting
with the German army. The same
letter told of the loss of much
property belonging to the family.
Madame Schumann-Heink has
made her home in America for
many years. A few years ago she
became interested in North Dako-
ia during an engagement in the
state, and at that time she in
vested in a North Dakota farm.
Her property comprises some
hundred of acres a few miles
North of Grand Forks on the
banks of the Red River. This ven-
ture has proven to be a profitable
one and the great singer annually
visits and inspects her property,
taking great pride in it. She con-
siders her North Dakota holdings
as one of her most profitable in
vestments.

WALL STREET SAYS
NORTH DAKOTA LOOKS GOOD

Has a North Dakotan right to
feel proud Of his state and opti-
mistic regarding the future? Read
the following from the Financial
World, one of the leading Wall
Street publications and paper
of national circulation:
According to statistics, COM
piled from the last decimal gov
ernment report, one-sixth of all
the increase in improved farm
property in the United States was
in North Dakota.
''The increase i'm improved
land in that state during the past
ten years has been ll2 per cent
more than any other state in the
union.
In 1914 North Dakota market
ed more than five times as many
hogs as in 1912.
Corn production nearly doubl-
ed during the same time.
1.-The average farm in North
Dakota is 582 acres.
Business conditions at the
present time are excellent and
real estate and loan agents state
that the loan business is very slow
this season owing to the splendid
financial condition of the farm
ers."

CROP CONDITIONS IN
NORTH DAKOTA EXCELLENT

Grand Forks, April 28.- The
spring of 1915 will go down in
history as an early one and as a
most favorable one unless con-
ditions change radically very
quickly. A very great portion of
wheat was seeded in this state be-
fore the twenty-fifth of April and
other small grains were going in
very rapidly. Rains around the
twenty-fourth and fifth raised
conditions to excellent" and the
promise for a big crop was never
better. Reports from the County
Auditors show that the wheat
acreage is larger by per cent to
Is per cent than in former years
and there is a great increase in
corn and alfalfa.
The United States will be called
upon to furnish much food for
the European Countries during
the coming summer, and North
Dakota will be ready to do her
share. Reports of business condi-
tions in the country at large, show
that there is steady improvement.
Building operations as reflected
at the Builders and Traders Ex-
change headquarters at Grand
Forks indicate a very great deal
of new building i'm the state this
season,

Five carloads of Odd Fellows
from Browns Valley were ON their
way to the Holmgren funeral at
Breckenridge, Monday afternoon
One of the drivers had neglected
to put chains on the wheels of
his car to prevent skidding.
When about half way between
Paramount and Breckenridge the
car skidded on the muddy road
into a ditch and was overturned.
Rev. Mr.. Wilcox, one of the oc-
cupants. jumped and saved him
self. But Rev. Mr.. Marsh, Mr..
Howie and the driver were pinned
beneath the car.
The car was soon lifted and an
inventory was taken of the dam
ages sustained. Rev. Mr.. Marsh
had a cash over one of his eyes.
The driver was uninjured. Mr..
Howie's arm was so badly bruised
that he was taken to the hospital
for treatment.

WATCHING the COUNT
New Law will Not Effect Present
Officials

County officials are watching
the census returns made by
township assessors. Formerly the
salaries of county officials were
on a basis of assessed valuation.
but becaue the people objected TO-
increased assessments on the
ground that they would raise the
salaries of county officers, and
also for the purpose of securing
more equitable assessment, the
recent legislature changed the
basis to that of population. The
larger the population, the more
salaries the officials will receive.
Under the new law the sheriff
in the largest counties may draw
$4,000. The auditors and treas
urers may draw $4,000 annually,
and other officials slightly less.
The minimum salary for sheritfs
in the smallest counties is $1,000,
and for the other officials $4,000.
The new law does not affect til.
salaries of officials elected last
November and will not become ef-
fective until January, 1916.

JAMES ]. HILL
GIVES WARNING
That Country will stand for Ma
Uupward Tariff Tinkerfng
PRESENT TARIFF ALL RIGHT
Empire Builder says there is Need
For More Markets for
Products

New York, April 23.-An ad-
dress full of political warning by
James j. Hill, captain of industry
and founder of the Great North
ern railway, was read at a ban
quet of the American Newspaper
Publishers last evening.
Hill said, in part, that ''No one
accustomed to reading the signs
of the times can fail to see that a
determined effort will be made to
give the tariff the leading place
in the next national campaign.
An effort will be made to secure a
general revision upward by a
number of political leaders who
adhere to the belief that there is
one more president in the tariff :"
"ThOse who expect to benefit
by the revision upward will pro-
mote the movement and upon the
attitude of the newspapers which
are now being felt throughout the
country, will depend the fate of
the move.
"That the country can live and
thrive under the existing tariff is
clear to all.
"A reopening of the tariff ques-
ton with a view to restoring
practices that broght disaster can
only be justified by the hope for
increase Of prices and a promise
of increase in wages. But the pub
lie does not want higher prices
and increase in wages that turns
to the injury of labor when it
passes the point where it can be
sustained by general Industrial
conditions.
Under the stimulus of many
years of tariff subsidy the manu-
featuring interests of this country
have been built up to point
where the home demand cannot
absorb more than two-thirds the
product. Whether this is a good
or a bad thing does not matter
now. 1t is a fact, and what is to
be done with the extra one-third? Z?
Either we must curtail produc-
ton one-third or find customers
for the surplus one-third. The
first course will have few advo-
cates,an if we are to sell the ex-
ira one-third it can only be done
by enlarging the market through
reduced prices. 1t would be folly
to stimulate with increased tar
iff) All increase of surplus pro-
duction.
1T is time to get out of the
FOOLS paradise of believing that
wealth and prosperity are created
by legislation. The general re-
construction of the tariff, whether
for bad or worse, means at least
two years of doub., hesitation and
bad business. Agitation for whole
sale tariff overturning must be
bad for everybody, and for labor
worst of all.

In acquiring the Philippine.I Islands
the United States became the chief
producer OF YIang-ylang, which is
now of even greater value to per-,

for it is never fully supplied. even at
the rate of $40 to- S65 per ounce,
and the perfumers Of Europe have al
ways large orders on the waiting list.
The YIang-ylang tree grows to be
about go feet tall. and the flowers OF

inches in length. 1t is easily dis

The oldest perfume in the world
is said to be that of sandal wood and
it was never OF greater value or more
in demand than'now. England hasi
monopoly of the sandal wood trade,
as the best quality is grown in In-|
dia. The oil is secured by distilling
the wood. The wood does OF yield
oil until the tree is nearly thirty
years old. Even the saWdust and

The nse OF perfume has always
been a habit OF royalty. Despite her
simple taste in other matters. Queen
IWilhelmina, of Holland. is lavish in
her use Of perfume. She uses a
Itchampagne bottle of the finest Euaa
de cologne in her daily bath. and in
order that its quality be certified the
bottle is opened in her presence each
morning and poured into the large
marble bath into which she descends
by five steps. Napoleon was also
fond of this perfume but allowed
himself only a pint daily.
