One of the historical and at the
same time lca-t generally known
spots in North Dakota has been forg-
ing ahead and now claims attention
as the Garden Spot of North Dakota.
In the north central part Of the state
in the counties Of Rolette and Bottin-
eau and running over into Canada are
the Turtle Mountains, SO called from
their appearance wthen' first seen by
the earliest settlers of Manitoba and
from the old trail between Killarney,
Manitoba and St. John, North Dakota.
1T Turtle Mountains.
The se-called Turtle Mountains are
in reality a range of low hills, cover.
inE about one thousand square miles
o. 'thirty-t1ve townships. These hills
are covered with a small growth of
birch, oak, ash, poplar, elm and cot
tonwood, and have an abundance Of
small fruits such as. red and black
currants, high-bush cranberries, red
cherries, june berries, Strawberries,
r%aspberries, choke cherries and plums.
We are told the hills are a deposit
from the cid glacier which will &C.
count for occasional NAPLES and some
OF the other trees and fruits not usu-
ally found in this part of the country.
Between the hills are lakes connect
ed by running streams and aboundins
in native pickerel, pike and suckers;
in addition to this the state has es-
tablished O. fish hatchery on n o.
the largest lakes and from this nearly
all the larger bodies of water and
running streams have been stocked
with black bass and brook and lake
trout.
Settlers coming into this region at
first cut down the native timber and
were satisfied tc realize from the sale
of cordwood and lumber made from
it. As the timber became scarccr.
cattle were introduced and small
fields of grain and vegetables were
planted; and from such a small De-
ginning has grown what is without a
doubt the foremost dairy and garden

GOMPERS ON STAND
 IN INDUSTRIAL PROBE
Does Not Think Big Institutions Reach Proper Conclusions in
 Investigations

New York, January 22.-Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federationof Labor. does not believe any conclusion the Rockefeller founda- tion might reach as to industrial con- ditions would carry conviction to workers or greatly influence employ CTS of labor. He said so today in tess tifying before the commission on in- dustrial relations inquiry into the ad- ministration of the countrys great philanthropic foundations and the cause of industrial unrest
 The Rockefeller foundation recent ly appointed William Lyon MacKen- zie King, former Canadian minister of labor. to study industrial conditions.
 ''The effect of the Rockefeller foun. dation to undertake to be an all-per- vading machinery for the moulding ot the minds of the people in their con- stant human struggle" said MT. Com pers,. should be .curbed by law or reg u1ation. understood the foundation used its influence to get it's represen- tatiye in the list of officials of the federal government, and that this gave the foundation the right to the rank ing privilege. This. I think, was a fraud on the government, violation of the principles of eradication and all imposition on the people of this coun : tiy. I do not think the people are ready to surrender their rights, espec- tally to a foundation which has such d history behind it of the means by which the money was first made and later accumulated"

 The pastor said every man, before he is married. should be compelled to swear he will stay at home at least two nights every week.
