Flint Explains Herd Law

Bismarck, May 27.-"The farmers of
the state have made so many inquiries
of late through the department of agri-
culture and labor relative to the herd
law" says Commissioner Flint, that
/ have prepared below a synopsis of
the state law which is of a general
nature and does not fix dates between
which stock may run in the several
counties. 1t does, however, prohibit
stock from running at large at any
time in the year except where stock
districts have been created by the
county commissioners at the request
of the electors of such district.
"This department is asking the audi.
tor of each county in the state to for.
ward such extracts of resolutions
passed by their respective county
boards relative to stock districts, as
will be of general information to the
farmers and which will be a part OF
our files for future reference and &C.
cessible to the public at any time. The
synopsis follows: - ~
Section 2617. 1t shall be unlawful
for cattle, horses, mules, swine, goats
and sheep to run at large at any time,
except as hereinafter provided.
Section 2618. The county commits.
sioners of each county must establish
stock districts. Upon petition to per.
NIT stock to run at large, signed by
one.fourth of the voters in said dis.
trict, filed with teh county auditor,
specifying dates between which stock
may run and asking that same be sub.
mitted to vote Of the people, the
board shall declare by resolution that
stock may run at large accordingly
until the next general election, except
in cities and villages. No vicious stal.
lion, jack, ram, boar, bull or other ami.
NAL shall run at large. A..
Section 2619 to 1886 are also a
source of much information to farmers
"As soon as complete report from
the county auditors shall have been
received this department will be in a
position to answer all inquiries as to
the provisions Of the herd law in each
county with more accuracy, giving
boundary lines, dates when stock dis.
tricts were established and dates when
stock may run at large"

LABOR OMNlA VINCIT.'

Youths Companion: There was an
old story about the man who pulled
up a we'll and took it to a more desir
able location; and another about the
man who took up a we'll, sawed 1t IN
sections, and used one Of the sections
for a land roller. They were exagger
atoms, but the experience of Ezra Tet
low proves that we'll cannot always
be classed as permanent fixture
Ezra had a we'll In front Of his house.
1t had never been a success as well
Ezra wanted it filed up. One way
would have been to haul stones or
earth and use the material to fill it.
But Ezra had no team.
So he went at it with shovel
Working on the side of he.well next
to the road, he began to dig and to
throw the dirt into the we'll. He kept
this up until he had filled it, which
was not a difficult job, as the we'll was
rather shallow.
But when the tack seemed finished
Ezra found that he had made new
hole by the side Of the one he had
been filing. There was but one thing
to do: he proceeded to fill 1t in the
same manner. Of course, this re-
suited in still another excavation,
which in turn received similar treat
ment.
AS all of Ezra's digging had been
on the side of the we'll nearest the
road, the result was that the hole in
the ground was finally moved out into
the highway.
Judson Tolliver was commenting on
exploit one day down at the Corners
Queer thing Ezra did," he remarked
"You know that old we'll that stood in
his front yard? Well, sir, he's moved
it 80 feet from where it was; moved
it clear out into the road"
How'd he do it," inquired another
representative citizen.
You'll have to ask Ezra" replied
Judson. But he did it, sure enough.
l saw the we'll in the road yesterday,
and l saw the tracks he made movin'
it. The thing plowed a furrow four
feet wide all the way"

Government Issues Book
on Yellowstone Park

Yellowstone Park will be the subject
of the department of interiors first
book of series to be published ex-
plotting government parks and an
nounced several weeks ago. Several
thousand copies will soon be ready for
free distribution throughout the coun-
try.
This work, a description and nara
tive of the Yellowstone, comprises "a
pages beautifully bound, and includ-
ing several illustrations.
When Secretary H. F. Lane, of the
interior department, determined to
bring the scenic features of the Unit
ed States reservations before the pub.
lie, he solicited the aid of railroad
companies. The Northern Pacific rail-
way was one of the first to promise it's
cooperation and bought outright sew
eral thousand copies of the Yellow.
stone Park edition which it, as we'll
as the government, expects to distrl-
butte.
One passenger of the first edition of
national parks books has the following
to say of 'The Land of Wonders" as
it calls the Yellowstone: "This is the
largest and most widely celebrated of
our national parks. 1t is associated in
the public mind with geysers only,
having more of these within it's bor-
ders than are to be found in all other
parts of the world combined. There
never was greater mistake, however,
for were there no geysers, the Yellow
stone watershed alone, with its glow.

ton worthy Of being called national
park"

GRIMM ALFALFA STANDS TEST

Many reports are being received at
the North Dakota experiment station
of alfalfa winter killing. An examina.
ton of these reports shows that the
Grimm alfalfa has suffered the least
and that most of the fields killed out
are of the less hardy strains. Mr..
Cooper, director of the station, thinks
that the winter killing is in some cases
due to smothering, resulting from the
field being covered with an ice sheet
and in other cases to late cutting and
pasturing, while some alfalfas were
not hardy enough to withstand the
winter even when given the best con
ditions.
The Grimm alfalfa has proven the
best adapted for coming through the
different kinds of winters that come
in a series of years. Some of the less
hardy alfalfas may survive several
winters, but when a winter that il
hard on alfalfa comes along they die
while the Grimm lives through.

"He is one Of the few baritones" says
Caryl B. Storrs, "of whom the North

are voice Of rich and mellow soIo--

natural attributes a scholarly training

and domestic commerce, department
Of commerce, 40 million dollars worth
of goods was exported from the Unit
ed States in March. This exceeds the
corrected total for February by seven

any nation ever exported before in one
month. It is 113 millions more than
the previous March and is nearly
double the March average for the pre-.
ceding five years. In the nine months
ending with March exports fell less
than five million dollars short of three
billion dollars, thus exceeding by more

lion in March, 1915, and five million
in March, 1914. For the nine months
the present fiscal year to date shows
an export balance of 1,491 million
dollars, being more than double that of
last year and more than three times
that of two years ago. Present indi-
cations point to an export balance of
2 billion dollars by the end of the
fiscal year.
Gold imports during March totaled
$9,776,S39, compared with $25,62O,467
in March, 1915, and $7,842,249 in
March 1914, and for nine months to
March 81, 1916, $337,S31,231, against
$71,SS7,676 in 1915 and $57,288,712 in
1914. Gold exports in March totaled
$10,774,354, compared with $923,S91 in
March, 1915, and $2,632,O49 in March,
1914. Gold exports in the nine months
under review aggregated $58,515,929,

$279, 1902, as against a net outward
movement of $69,423, 224 in a like peri.
cd Of the preceding year and net
inward gold movement of $1O,599, 1896

informed that the matter has been under con-

While the details have not been announced it

but will involve considerably more bookkeeping

The result Of this promised wage increase will

Hawaii will benefit in the increased amount in

what that amount will be per month, but with
sugar steadily driving towards seven cents, it is
certain to be a very substantial sum.

Mrs. NEEDLE Again

THE report" forwarded by the Governor to
the Oahu loan fund commission yesterday re-
garding the 'unsanitary condition of the main Mutt
anu reservoir is only another of the Governor S
little jokes, at which the community might laugh
If the Governor not such expensive joker.
According to the Governor, the very necessary
work OF increasing the ctys water supply must
be delayed because of the presence in the reservoir
OF all the dread bacteria to be found listed in the
doctor books, but it is very evident that the Gov
ernor does not believe very much in his own re-
port Otherwise he could scarcely have kept the
information concerning the typhoid, dysentery,
cholera etcetera, etceteta, circulating in his own
head for two weeks before he issued an alarm
There exists pollution, without doubt, some Of
it in the Nuuanu reservoir, but more of it in the
imagination OF the Governor. There exists some
danger to the public, probably, but the danger
comes more from the old womanish distractions
TO progress than from any other cause. The
water furnished the city consumers from Reser-
weir No 4 today is the same as has been furnished
to consumers for the past several years, no better
and no worse. If that water is injurious, by all
means let steps be taken to improve it, but what
ever steps may be taken to further safeguard the
reservoir from contamination can go forward at
the same time as are being carried out the plans
to increase the supply. Certainly it cannot hurt
the WdlCl lHC ISSSINOi W HdNS illOIC vi IL dHu
thus dilute those bacteria colonies the Governor
has been hugging to his bosom.
The whole fact of this matter of delay is that
the Governor simply must stick his fingers into
the plans of the commission. Nothing, apparent
", can be done in governmental way now until
the Governor has had his chance to set everyone
right and drag out of the store of his infinite wis
dom few sparkling ideas We have Governor
who not only knows everything about everything
but who is quite certain that no one else knows
anything about anything
Why doesn't the Governor write book3 Then
he could give the whole world the benefit of his
knowledge on all subjects, and in the meanwhile,
during the composition of the tome, some Of the
rest Of the community could get some Of the neces
sary work done ...
