LOOK TO THE RED r A

The title sounds sanguinary, but
the meaning is not. The Red Trail
stretches peacefully away towards
the sunset across the h%ospitable prair-
les of North Dakota, and it is ex-
pected that many travellers will jour-
ney along it's sign posts increasing
the states fame and leaving substan-
tial simoleons at sundry places en-
route.
The National Parks Highway asso-
citation, F.. w. Turner, president, J. P.
Hardy, vice president and John Orch
ard, secretary, announces that on May
Is the entire trail will be efficiently
inspected, from New York to Seattle.
1t is proposed to report the conditions
and the markings over the 3,70O miles
of this highway.
The association appeals to county
vice presidents and engineers and
everybody concerned to help get the
roads into good shape before inspec-
ton day so that North Dakota may
get a good report to the country. A
laudable desire and a sensible recon-

The rain of Saturday registered .65
of an inch, making with that which
came a little earlier, 10 of an inch.
This seemed to be just what was
needed. 1t was a warm rain and just
enough moisture fell to do inestimab1e
good to crops of all kinds. Seeding
was we'll along and this moisture will
cause the seed to terminate nicely
and get a good start before the heavy
later rains. Grass has started in
fine shape and feed for stock will
soon be abundant. Not the least good
done by the rain was the laying of
the dust which had been such an an
noyance for some time and the fresh
ening of budding trees and shrubs.
The rain came earlier than is usual
in this section and the people have
that much more to be thankful for.

Not long since several state papers
were very busy spreading a report
that Judge w. C. Crawford was likely
to get supreme bench honors. While
Judge Crawford is eminently fitted
for such a position he is not seeking
it and there is very little likelihood
of his leaving the Tenth district
bench. And now comes some more
stories-perhaps equally unfounded--
about U. S. Treasurer John Burke be-
ing willing to, accept a federal court
job in Iowa, the mere suggestion Of

THE EQUITY SUIT

The action of Attorney General
Linde in bringing suit against the
Farmers Equity Cooperative Ex-
change last Saturday will set the
people of the state thinking at least,
for the attorney general has no per-
sonal ends to attain in the matter and
has the reputation of looking care
fully before he leaps.
Regarding the matter the Bismarck
Tribune says:
If the Farmers Equity Cooper
alive Exchange is not on a solid
basis, the farmers of the state +
the first mes entitled to know. They
are subscribing stock and shipping
their grain to the corporation. What
is the use of a blue sky law unless it
protects.
Farming the farmers is not nearly
as profitable as it used to be. The
| Tribune does not know whether the
| Co-operative Exchange is solvent or
not, but there is a big doubt in its
find now that action has been brought
by Attorney General Linde. He has
not the reputation of entering into
litigation without more than ordinary
provocation.
The suit will give the Equity Ex-
change a good airing and inform the
farmers upon the vital matter OF how
their grain is handled. It was not
many months ago that The Tribune
suggested a change 1 management
of the Exchange. Mr.. Lotus has at
tempted to build up business upon
vitupertion and abuse. Cautioned
time and again by the leaders of the
movement he represents, he has re-
fused to change his tactics, thus
alternating some of the best friends
of the cooperative movement.
If Attorney General Linde can es-
| tablish his point, it will be shown
that the institution is cooperative in
name only, and that much of the
grain passes through the regular
channels at Minneapolis.
The Tribune is in sympathy with
the efforts of the farmer to secure a
more open market at terminal points
but under the present leadership they
will never get out of the wilderness
into the promised land.
Federal legislation is necessary to
protect the grain growers of the
state against abuses existing, not
| fannel-mouthed oratory nor political
claptrap. -.
A big majority of the farmers in
this state reslevel-headed fellows and
realize this. They have not endorsed
MI. LOTUS methods, as was plainly
evident at the recent session of the
legislature.
But Linde's action will explain
many things not mentioned by Mr..
Lotus on the North Dakota lecture
platform.

VIII Confer With S. p.
Co. As To Land Grant

The last aetica of tine land grant
conference before final adjournment at
1880 last night was to pass motion
by l.. +. Bean of Eugene, that com.
mittee be named to confer with the rep
resentatives of the SOuthera Pacific
to evolve plan to open the Oregon.
California land grant to settlement
without further litigation.
This was preceded by the adoption of
a resolution to memorialize congress op-
posing any further increase of forest
reserves in Oregon, and urging imme-
-diate sale of the railroad land grants
according to the terms of the "set.
tiers clause in the original grant.
Definition Of Settlers Asked.
Other provisiols of tne resolutions
were that congress should enact laws
defining and settling who shall be con
sidered an actual settler and what shall
be considered an actual settlement, and
requiring the grantees under tine act to
perform the terms and conditions of
the act, and sell and dispose of the
lands according to the true intent and
purpose of said acts to such actual set
tiers.
Should the legislation be granted il
would enforce the original terms of the
land grant. This policy was favored

Stand Favored By Bean.
. This stand was taken by Delegates I.
N. Day of Multnomah, L. f. Bean of

clared the resolution invited litigation
and did not preclude speculation
1t was a struggle between these two

solved itself before adjournment.
