When this war is settled there will

North Dakota Horses Excel.

That North Dakota horses are
greatly in demand because of their
proven superiority, that the war is
taking many of the lighter weight
ones, and that we should give special
attention to breeding heavier draft
horses, is the opinion of an expert
enced horseman-U. L. Burdick. of
Wiliston, N. d.. in letter to Com
missioner of Agriculture R. F.
Flint. as follows:
During the last four or five years
almost every public speaker. who
addressed farmers gathering, has
emphasized the Importance Of cattle
raising in North Dakota, and to this
end almost every agency in the
state has combined to assist in start
ing anew the cattle industry Of the
state.
| While this is a good thing, it
seems to me, from my long expert
ence in North Dakota. that one Of
the most important industries and
the one which can be carried on
with the least expense at the great
est profit, has been overlooked. and
that not enough emphasis mas been
in the past, or is now placed upon
the horse industry of this state.
| believe it is admitted by every
one that from the natural conditions
of North Dakota, there is no place
where better horses can be raised
than on the plains of North Dakota
| have not time to state statistics on
this point but will state generally.
. and it can be proven, that horses
reared in North Dakota and in the
northern states, when put to test
in eastern cities outlive the horses
raised in the central and eastern
sections in q marked degree. The
world will probably never produce a
horse with greater stamina than
those raised in the rigorous climates
of North Dakota and Montana.
| believe, however, in giving the
incentive to the increased prodnc.
tion of horses in North Dakota. that
we should take care that the best
class of horses is produced. Nearly
all the large ranches in this state II
small units. and from an econom
ic standpoint farmers must star
with the mares which they have
! They cannot afford to dispose Of
them and buy better stuff. Theil
only salvation is, then, to start will
the very best sires they can Obtain
! in their community. 1t does no
make great deal of difference
what breed of draft horse is used a
I q sire. That is a matter Ut person
al preference. But inasmuch as tn
Al Parcheron predominates so strongl

In a letter received by Mayor Ray
mond, of Newark, n. j., George Fa-
Der, of Pittsburg, says the city of
Newark owes him % cents borrowed
in 1887, with interest. The writer
enclosed certificate signed by
Abram Beach, who was city clerk in
1887, and by James Keene, the then
city treasurer.
Mayor Raymond turned the letter
over to City Treasurer Day, who said
he would inform Mr.. Faber that he

of a $4,000 loan obtained by the

JAPAN WILL NOT
HANDICAP MISSIONS
MISSIONARIES WE'RE ALARMED
OVER OUTLOOK FOR CHRISTI
ANITY IN THAT COUNTRY.
THE OPtN DOOR NOT CLOSING

Contrary to Any Idea of Restricting
Teaching of Christianity japanese
Government COntemplates Exten-
sion of Privileges Granted.
KARUZIzAWA, Japan.-American
missionaries here are somewhat dis
turbed over reports from the United
States that apprehension exists there
as to the future of Christianity in
Japan. This apprehension is said to
be the outgrowth of the new school
regulations in Korea about which,
the missionaries think, some mislead-
ing private reports have been sent
to the United States.
The situation led the mission of
the Methodist Episcopal church to
hold a special meeting here under
the Craftsmanship of Bishop Merriam
G. Harris. At this meeting it was
voted to draw up and send to the
home church a detailed report of the
exact conditions. A copy of the re-
port, which was written by Dean Ar
thur D. Berry, of the theological de-
partment of the Aoyama school at
Toxic, has been handed to the cor
respondent of the Asso ciated Press.
1t is most optimistic in tone and con-
tends that contrary to any idea of re-
stricting the teaching of Christianity
the Japanese government contem-
plates the extension of privileges al
ready granted. Among other things
the statement emphasizes the prog
ress made on a project to found a
Christian university at Tokio-a pro-
ject that is engaging the attention of
all leading American and Japanese
Christians.
AS indicating erroneous opinion in
some quarters of the United States
the report cites an affirmation in a
church paper that the open door"
for Protestant endeavor in Japan is
fast closing
In the first place, the report points
out that the new regulations affect
the schools in Korea only, and not
those of Japan proper. The essence
vate schools, including the mission
schools, are required to conform in
grade and curriculum with the gov
eminent schools. The effect of this
will be the same as the effect of the
old-time similar regulations-that is,
it will lift the mission schools to a
higher level and compel them to stay
there says DR.. Barry.
AS to the prohibition of all relig-
iOus instruction and worship in the
schools this seems serious, but the
report emphasizes that the rules ap-
ply equally to all private schools.
They are not directed solely at the
Christian schools. Furthermore,
Shintoism (ancestor Worship is not
to be substituted for Christianity in
the schools. The regulations do not
apply to colleges or theological
schools, and religious worship and in
struction may be carried on outside
regular school hours.
