j. A. Stiles and J. T. Wright Arc Load
ing 1900 Head cf Cattle at Naco,
Ariz.-Sce Signs of Battle

| The Pioneer Is; in receipt of let
tcrs from J a. Stiles and j. T.
| Wright, written from, Naco, Arizona
a town on the Mexican border.
! where they have been the past two
weeks loading 23OO head of cattle
bought in Mexico for the Standing
Rock reservation and the Stiles
Cattle Company. They have both
made several trips into Mexico, and
seen signs of several battles between
Mcx;cans, where the trenches and
broastworks remains. SO far, how
over, they have not run across Villa,
and from the tone of the letters
they are not hankering for Il meet
ing.
The boundary line between the
United States and Mexico runs
through the center Of Naco, and
soldiers Of both nations are much in
evidence there now. The town has
been shot up a number Of times
during the past few years. and the
hotel at which they are stopping,
adycrtises on its note heads the
fact that in addition to other mod
crn and up-to-date conveniences
they have BULLET Proof Rooms "
Mr.. Wright in his letter adds
that he had a chance to 80 to the
capitol Of Sonora, but as the climate
might not agree with him, he de-
clincd the invitation. OF course
the people of Fort Yates knows that
it was not case of cold feet, and if
the Indian Service could spare its
Stock Inspector and his military
friend Examiner Kitch, for brief
time for service along the border
the situation would no doubt be re-
lieved and the trouble speedily
settled.

F. C. Turner who filed on a half
section near Barren Butte last fall
and has leased some school land ad-
joining, was in the city the first OF
the week. He says he has in the
neighborhood of 200 cattle on the
other side of the river in addition
to farm implements, ETC., which he
has been unable to get ferried over,
and will have to ship by rail via
Bismarck. 1t seems he had some
misunderstanding with Capt. Bau-
mann of the ferry-boat Ida, and he
saws that the latter refused to take
his stock across. Baumann says
that the wind prevented him from
making landing, and there the
matter rests.

Col. John II. Frame
NextN.D Cover, MOI,
His Record of Years as an Honest, Fer
the-Feople Politician Haekes His
Election a Certainty

I John III. frame, nOmeSteadcr, had
{ any idea when he was suffering the
: hardship of farm life in Perth
/ township that some day he would
aspire to the position Of Governor,
!. the highest in. the state, still it is
]. true that as a young man he had
high ideals and was always looking
forward and upward. The facts in
his life bear out this assertion. His
friends and neighbors in Walsh
county recall, with no little pride,
the remembrance of the farmer,
carpenter, deputy clerk Of court and
student. For John Fraine has been
constantly going upward. He
burned the midnight oil as did Lin
coin and other great men before him.
The path of success for him was
not strewn with roses but he had to
work for every success he achieved
and lie stands today as splendid
example Of what continuity Of pur-
pose can bring out. Let it be re-
called that while as q deputy clerk
of court his ambition was to become
a lawyer and that he spent his leis-
ure hours in the pursuit Of studies
which would fit him for his chosen
i profession. In the same measure as
he performed his duties as home
|. steadcr, so did he pursue the study
of law and he eventually passed
successful examination and became
an honored member Of the bar OF
North Dakota. Later his ability
was recognized and he was elected
to the lower house of the State Leg
islature. His colleagues gave him
a fitting testimonial of their pride
and confidence in him by electing
him Speaker of the House OF Rep
resentatives which position he held
with credit to himself and the house,
always acting fairly and square]y
with its members, unswayed by any
pressure which might be brought to
bear upon him but actuated by the
one idea, namely square deal for|
the people OF North Dakota. Another
step forward in this interesting
career was when the people Of
/! North Dakota elected him Lieutcn-
ant-Governor of the state.
He now comes before them, stand
| ing upon the record of years and ask |
them to honor him with the Rep
ublican nomination for Governor.
Men are human machines, who
think and deliberate these days
when there is 50 much confusion,
deception and trickery and when it
is often a perplexing problem to
select the wheat from the chatf.
Men are thinking today, and on the
2Sth day of June they will be called |
upon to express at the polls their
preference of three candidates for
the Republican nomination for Cow
ernor. Without any disparagment |
of the other gentlemen who are can
didates for this position and with a
feeling Of deep interest in good men
who are unfortunately following the
somewhat uncertain League propo-
ganda, it must be said that of the
candidates that have been offered,
the name of John III. Frainc stands I
out clearly and convincingly as the
logical candidate Of a party to which
the state owes so much and in
which North Dakota farmers and /
business men have a right TO place
their confidence.

Persistent Canada Thistle.

The cause Of the remarkable vitality
Of Canada thistle and the point that
distinguishes It from other prickly
plants that are commonly mistaken for
it Is the long cordlike perennial root.
This root penetrates the soil to depth
Of eight to fifteen inches or more and
gives rise at frequent intervals to leafy
shoots. Thus 1t will often be found
that an entire patch of thistles y At
tached to one root and is in reality
but one plant. The root IL exceedingly
hardy and can live over winter or
through . prolonged drought in . dor
mant condition. Pieces Of the root
that are broken OF by . plow OF cult.
vator and carried to other places will
await warm, moist period and then
begin to send up lsafy shoots, thus e.
tablishing new patch forthwith. II
the leafy stems are cut down, others
will be sent up to take their place and
this process may be repeated from two
to eight times before the root becomes
exhausted.
