Yesterdays Vote
Ends First Round
Indicate Decreased Majoritys
Over County for Frazier
=.
and j. M. Baer

Like every other section of this state
the great interest in yesterdays pri-
mary election here in Cavalier county
centered in the contest for supremacy
between the independent and nom
partisan factions of the republicans
to capture the state and legislative
nominations, and the congressional
fight in this district between Baer
and Wick.
When republican headquarters in
this city closed last night at twelve
o'clock thirty-nine of the forty eight
voting precincts had been heard from
unoficially with the result that
Chairman Groom, of the county COM
mittee conceded Frazier having
slight though growing lead over
Steen in the governorship.
There was about the same outlook
over the county for Baer carrying the
county over Wick in the congressional
encounter for the republican nomina-
tion. Earlier reports had given a
brighter hue to the independents
chances and the reports from the
towns, gave them a lead that, how.
ever, had to be gradually relinquished
as the farmer vote from the outside
precincts began to come in over the
telephone. The Frazier Steen vote
at midnight was practically tie, but
with the precincts still to hear from
and the way the gradual change had
become noticeable, with a majority for
Frazier of at least 200. Baer had
slight lead over the vote for Wick in
this county when headquarters was
closed at mid night. consequently it
can be estimated that he ran stronger
here than Frazier.
The two legislative tickets headed
by Senator Henry Mclean for the in
dependens and John Cameron, of Cal
vim, for the league, still gave Nc
Lean, and the independents candidates
for the lower house slight lead, but
Mr.. Groom admits that the outlook
was not good when the outlying pre-
cincts still to hear from were taken
into consideration
This sums up the county as carried
by the nominees of the nopartisans,
state and legislative, although with
greatly decreased majorities as when
compared with the campaign of two
years ago. The league voters, indi.
Gated by the vote for sheriff, in
which Kelland is the nominee over
Mahoney by three to one vote, that
they have no intention taking an ac-
tive part in the naming of county
ticket, not for the present at least.
Late reports from over the state
are that the state republican COM
mittee are claiming slight lead for
Steen over Frazier with gain as the
vote from the west comes in. CLAIMS
from Grand Forks are that Wick has
carried the First district over Baer.
and that Norton wins easily in the
Third district over Sinclair, both
claims, however, may be considered
as premature.

Court Robertson the end of last week
that the present out look was that he
would be here to open the regular
June term of district court with the
beginning of the second week in July

Official notice is expected to reach

SAYS OLD IDEA IS WRONG
Present Method of Enriching Soil With
Manure Condemned by Writer
In Chemical News.

The old idea that the best way to
grow fine crops is to enrich the
ground with manure receives a ter
rible jolt from Sampson Morgan in
an article in Chemical News. He
holds that we are running the quality
of our wheat by feeding the soil with
unclean matter; that the latest ex-
periments show that powdered gran
lite rock and decaying leaves are the
only fertilizer that will produce the
hard wheat with its high content Of
gluten.
Mr.. Morgan urged that all garb-
age and animal refuse be reduced to
ashes before being spread upon the
ground. 'The soil has been fouled
with the filth of civilization" he
says. 'TThe Importance of purifca-
ton by fire has been ignored too
long, at least by western nations.
The ashes from these fires are of un-
told value to the cultivator of the
soil, and by ceasing to poison the
earth by sowing it with foul-smell-
ing plant foods and by letting in
the air and sun and mineralizing it
with the sweet refuse of these burn
ings and with granite dust, we
should soon increase the productive
powers of the earth a hundredfold."

They stopped at Little Salmon and

tract is taken from his letter:
"We miss the climatic conditions
