San Francisco, March o.
There are a number Of things

Pacific coast country, and especi-

the middle west and on the,

matters for the benefit Of our

SHIPPED OVER 1000
CATTLE INTO STATE

Bismarck, March 19.-Some
very interesting figures were
given out yesterday by the live
stock sanitary board regarding
the shipment of dairy and breed
ing cattle into this state within
the last thirty days.
A total of 2,179 dairy and
breeding cattle came into the
state with the tuberculin test
chart health certificate within
the last thirty days.
Most of these cattle came from
the state of Minnesota and prac-
tically all of them went to the
western half of the state. Owing
to the foot and mouth disease
and the consequent quarantine Of
many Of the surrounding states
lot of cattle from Iowa and
other states cannot be shipped
into North Dakota. When the
quarantine is raised these states
will ship in many cattle.
This certainly indicates a
boom in the cattle industry in
North Dakota, and there will be
plenty of room for more creamer-
les it seems.

CONSOLIDATION GETS
BOOSTED BY NEW LAW

Williston, N. D., March 19.-
School CONSOLIDATION. in the rural
districts of North Dakota will
receive great impetus as the
result of action by the recent
legislature which, in addition to
renewing the appropriations Of
the former biennial period for
rural schools, set aside an addi-
tional $4,000 for their encour-
ageme1.t the coming two years.
Of the total increase, $40, 900
will be distributed among con-
solidated schools in rural dist
riots, while only $4,000 goes to
the one-room rural school.
According to Miss Anna Peter
son, county superintendent of
schools for Williams county,
many districts are considering
the plan of consolidating and thi
additional aid from the state
will probably swing the balance
in favor Of the movement in
the majority of districts.

The male quartette composed
of Messrs Wacker, Rice, Bur-
gum and Packard, did exception
ally well and were called upon
to respond to an encore.
There were two vaudeville
stunts ON the program. Denny
Mann and Donald King as two
Hebrews amused the audience
with their play on words and a
song. Albert Peterson and Clos
son Rice as two negros gave a
farce about a haunted house,
place where niggers make them
selves scarce, and that is what
they did to the great amuse-.
ment Of everyone.
Leo Wilson played a cornet
solo. Leo has always been a
|soloist and his work Friday night
proved that he has kept up his
practice and is a player worth
hearing.
The minstrel show, put OH by
twelve boys, was very good. So
good in fact that the audience
thought at times that the black
men had just arrived from the
south. They had their band with
them and played Swanee River
and Old Black Joe as we'll as the
best of 'em. Roy Indseth, as in
terlocutor kept the jokes going
and it all was a very clever af-.
fair.
The Girls Glee club has won
a reputation IN Washburn and
the audiences demand encores
whenever they appear. They
gave two numbers on the pro-
gram.
The real big part Of the pro-
gram was the drills by the
Camp Fire Girls and Boy Scouts.
This was the girls first ap-
pearame and in their dark skirts
and white MILDLY blouses they
made a very pretty picture as
they went through their march
ing and flag drill. The boys
sang two songs and marched
and are getting to be star per-
formers in the different exer-
cises they 60 through, Richard
Buchholtz and james Whitlock
gave a splendid exhibit Of In
dian club work.
Rev. j. G. N. Pengelly deserves
a lot Of praise in the interest
he has taken in the young folks
during his short stay here. He
organized both the Boy Scouts
and he Camp Fire Girls and
had charge Of this program
which was given to raise money
for tents to be. used on hiking
trips and during the Chautau-
qua. The money collected for
tickets ard for Boy Scout pic
lures amounted to $77. After all
expenses are paid the boys ex-
pect to have enough to buy their
tents.

five members in the orchestra,
this was their first public ap-
pearance in concert work. Their
music is certainly a credit to
Washburn as we'll as to them
selves. They will no doubt be
called upon again when good
music is wanted. The members

On Wednesday afternoon,
March II, at the fam home Of
til" brides parents. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hamilton E:kert residing
southeast of Ayr, occurred the
marriage Of their only daughter
Margaret P"rsis to Charles Ham
son of Turtle Lake in the pres
ence Of about thirty-five' intimate
friends and relatives.
Promptly ut three o'clock the
bridal party descended the:
stairs to the living room to- the;
strains of ''Mendelssohn' s Wedd-
ing March" played by Miss Jes-
sic Thompson with violin accom-
paniment by Paul Schultz. They
took their places under an arcn.
Of ferns and wedding bells. Vases
of cut flowers and potted plants
added much to the ntti-e...e-
ness of the room.
The impressive ring servi'e
was read by Rev. r. Johns:' r
pastor of the Presbyterian
church Of Buffalo, and during
the ceremony Miss Thompson
played softly "Melody of Love =

farmers have to raise two kinds
of alfalfa-one for the horses

and one for the cattle. If the.
horses eat the alfalfa that IS
raised for the cattle they will
become sick, and in a number Of
cases, have been: known to die.
The same is true regarding the
cattle eating the alfalfa raised
for the horses.
The potatoes on the coast are
not nearly as good as those rais-
ed in North Dakota. The COM
position of the soil seems to be
such that the flavor-what there
isis not as good, and they are
very soggy.
Germ cannot be successfully
raised in California. Most, it
not all, Of the good corn used
there is imported from the
eastern states. This will grow
the first season and the farmer
will get a good crop, but the
following year the crows get
what corn natures, so new seed
has to he procured. This fact
has been impressed upon those
in attendance at the North Da-
kota building at the Exposition
a. Frisco. Many inquiries have
been made by California farm
ers for North Dakota seed, and
in the near future a good busi-
ness can be worked up for North
Dakota seed men.-By Will Hol-
