LAND RESTORED TO ENTRY

Washington, July 10. Upon the
recommendation of Secretary Lane
the president has restored to entry L.
2,468 acres of land in northern and
northwestern Montana, heretofore in
cluded in coal withdrawal. A large
part of this area has been entered I'M
der the homestead and other non min
eral land laws, but whenever such en-
tries have been patented since the
withdrawals in 1910, reservation has
been made to the United States of all
underlying coal. All of this area has
recently been classified by the geologi-
cal survey and non-mineral entrymen
on lands classified as non-coal land
will now receive full or unlimited
patent. Acres classified as coal land
are opened to absolute sale and entry
under the coal land laws. Surface or
agricultural rights may be acquired as
heretofore on these lands, under the
homestead, or desert land laws or the
Carey act, the ownership of the coal
in such cases remaining in the govern
ment.

Chautauquans Heard
Lecture on Mexico

DR.. E. T. Mathes closed his series OF
entertaining lectures last Wednes
day at Chautauqua with a splendid
talk on Mexico. That this series of
lectures has proved popular was seen
when the large audience that had
gathered to hear the Chicago operate
company remained to hear DR.. Mathes
afterward, even though the hour was
growing late.
He is not only an interesting and en-.
Pertaining talker, but he is brimful of
the subject matter, and he knows how
best to present it. DR.. Mathes has de.
livered over 400 lectures during the
past Is years. He has gained his sub.
Ject matter from first-hand experience,
and being an educator he let's his
knowledge of human nature govern his
methods of presentation This gives
the audience all that can be desired
from a lecturer.
DR.. Mathes' wide experience on the
lecture platform has brought him be.
fore audiences of every description
and nature, But l have never stood
before more appreciative audiences
than those at Valley City," he said
Wednesday evening. He has been in
the city long enough to become thor
oughly acquainted and he was loud in
his praises of the enterprise of the
community as whole. The interest
has been reciprocated.
Wednesday evening the subject was
Mexico" and the lecture was illus
trated with a large number of beauti-
full slides made from pictures taken
by Mr.. Mathes himself. The speaker
gave three main reasons for the stu
alton in Mexico. The first is the prob
lem OF the nature of the people them
selves. The stock originated in the
old Moors Of northern Africa, who
came to Spain in the eighth century,
and from Spain to Mexico, where they
intermarried with the Aztec Indians.
Eight out Of every ten Mexicans have
Indian blood in their veins. They are
a proud people, getting their pride
from the Spanish; they are a fighting
people, inheriting this trait from the
Indian.
The second problem that confronts
the country is that of the large land
holdings The country has rewarded
its generals with immense holdings of
lands, so that the land is owned by
comparatively few persons, while the
countless others are serving in a sort
of feudal system, from which they can
not recover because of the very nature
of the situation. This breeds an un-
rest. And, yet, Mexico has done moth
ing in this way that the United States
has not also done, only our southern
neighbors have done it on larger
scale.
The third problem confronting the
country is that of ignorance. Under
the existing system of peonage, fam
lilies remain in the same station for
generation after generation. 1t is i'm,
possible to progress.

BISMARCK GAS READY
SOME TIME IN AUGUST

Bismarck, July 12.-Three carloads
of material for the Bismarck gas plant
arrived yesterday and work will soon
be commenced on it, according to F..
E. Ployhar, president Of the Bismarck
Gas company.
The company will open it's offices
at Broadway and Fifth streets as soon
as Roop & Co., grocers, vatcate it. A
full line of gas stoves, heaters and
other appliances will be kept in stock.
Mr.. Ployhar said last night that gas
would be available to residents of the
city by month from today. The
company only has three more blocks
Of pipes in the northwest section of
the city and the mains on Fourth
street to lay. An extra good job of
back filling is being done, which
leaves the street in as good condition
as it was before it was broken up.
The plant will be erected west OF
the Standard Oil company, on Front
street.

FIELD CROP INSPECTION OF
SEED FOR SOWING PURPOSES

Section of the pure seed law au
thorizes the state seed commissioner
to examine or inspect the crop or
stock of seed of citizens who claim tc
be growers of pedigreed or improved
seeds and to publish list of any such
properly inspected or certified seeds
which list will be sent to any resident
of the state upon application.
The purpose is apparent. 1t aims
to improve the seeds placed upon the
market by aiding growers to meet the
requirements and to aid others who
wish good seed to know where to find
it.
Each year we have examined the
crops of as many applicants as posi-.
Bile to reach.
freeing durum wheats from admix
lures of common Wheats and from the
destructive disease known as "scab,'
we will make speciality OF visiting
farms Of growers who aim to grow
durum in larse enough quantities to
sell for seed. Inspectors will also
pay attention to brOmus with refer.
ence to quack grass, and will visit as
many fields of improved flax as pos.
sible.
Durum growers who would like to
have the inspector visit their fields
while the crop is in head or in bundle,
and who would care to have instruc-
ton as to the methods of publication
of the seed areas, should write us at
once. State your nearest railroad sta
ton, location in miles southwest or
northeast Of, ETC., mail box, etc. State
in your application whether you will
meet the inspector or not. This is
necessary.
We do not have funds enough for
country travel. The inspection must
of necessity be confined to those fields
nearest railroad stations and largely
to those in which the owners will bear
the expense of travel between the
station and fields to be inspected. If
there are other important seed crops
these can be inspected at the same
time. If you have neighbors interest
ed, the work of getting the inspector
about can be done comparatively.
Let us hear from you by return mail

Botanist and state seed commission.

Kids in Line for Term
at State Reform School

During the past week some half doz-
en- boys of Valley City have been ap-
pretended by the police for petty
thievery, money being taken in some
cases. Other cases had occurred ear
lier in the year, such as when the
K. P. club was entered and the cash
drawer robbed. The officers have the
evidence in each case and it has been
placed in the hands of the states at
torney. For the present the matter
is being left to the parents, who have
been informed of the doings of the
boys. If they are able to keep the
boys straight hereafter the matter
probably will be dropped. Any other
depredations by the boys will land
them in the reform school, however. 1t
seems to be case of letting the boys
have too much liberty.

Operate Company Was
Popular Attraction

The Chicago operate company
pleased one of the largest audiences

places chautauqua on the progress
sive list, for they are top-notchers
among the entertainers of the coun-
try.
Wednesday afternoons program con-
sisted of several operate selections
sung by the quartet, or as solos, temp
cred with many pieces of more modern
composition. The program was con-
tinued for nearly two hours, and the
large audience regretted that the CON-

The program opened with a quartet
number of Verdi's Rigolletto, and was
followed by Sweet and Low" as an
encore. Mrs. Downing and Mr.. Mil
Ter than sang Home to Our Noun

Star" from Wagner, and responded
with "The Swan by Saint-Saens.
Miss Nelson sang a selection from
Bizet's Carmen, that recalled her to
sing very delightfully."- 1.-THE Last Rose

One of the most pleasing numbers
was duet of cello and violin, bringing
Miss Amy Emerson Neill before the
audience. Miss Neill has doubled the
number of friends in Valley City in her
second visit. The artists played the
last movement from Godding's Novel

Miss Neill later played as solos two
popular compositions of Kreisler, Ca

was recalled and played "Humores-
que" by Dvorak. Mr.. Schultz, bari.
tone, sang "The Blacksmith's Song"

Crops Best Of
Past 43 Years

Fargo, July 13.-"I have lived in the
Red River valley 43 years but l have
never seen this section of the country
in such bad shape as it is now,''
said President H. j. Hagen, of the
Scandinavian American bank of Fargo
yesterday afternoon.
"The territory between Fargo and
Wahpeton, on both sides of the river
will yield barely one-fourth of nor.
NAL crop, in my estimation. The whole
section is practically covered with
water, condition never witnessed at
this time of the year before to my
recollection.
Mr. Hagen and Police Commissioner
J. H. Dahl left yesterday morning over
the Great Northern for Wahpeton to
inspect the crops. They returned over
the Milwaukee.
All along they found the water at a
record stage, most of the fields under
water and those patches unsubmerged
not headed out yet This is at least
two weeks late in the season.
Corn is very backward-what there
is of it, continued Mr.. Hagen. 1T got
very late start and now much of 1t
has been drowned out.
THE hay crop? There is none yet
where we went and it will be late un-
der the best weather we may have
from now on. In the valley between
here and Wahpeton it appears to us
that all the potato fields have been
drowned out"
From other sections of the state re-
ports are optimistic. The slope and
Minot districts are going to harvest
the biggest crop in history, business
men here declare.
The cool spring and abundant mois-
ture have produced splendid stand of
grain and the hot weather is pushing
it along to about normal stage now.
Williams and Divide counties, in the
extreme northwest corner, report crop
conditions as never having been bet.
ter.
Farmers and business men there are
joining hands to secure enough men to
harvest the bumper crops. CONNER
cial clubs in that section will open en-
ployment bureaus to help the farmers
to secure the necessary men, It is re-
ported.
Farm machinery distributing houses
in Fargo are doing big business at
present, the various managers report.
They say their travelling men report
crop conditions fully as good as last
year excepting narrow strip along
the Red river.
Threshing machine sales are declar.
ed to be better than year ago at this
time and this is said to be certain indi-
cation that the grain crops are in
promising condition.
The federal agricultural depart
ment's report indicates that the acre.
age of wheat and small grains is small
er than year ago. This is especially
true in the Red River valley and in
other valleys of the state. The total
yield is predicted to be close to that
of last year.
Talk Of rust caused excitement both
among the farmers and in the pit few
days ago but subsequent investigations
have shown that there was on occa-
sion for the scare. The present wealth.
er is said to be proof against it.
