OUTBREAK OF HOG
CHOLERA REPORTED
IN MORTON COUNTY
No Trace of Disease in Burleigh
But Some Cattle Infected
With Black Leg M

Reports Of an outbreak OF hog
cholera in Morton county were re-
ceived in Bismarck today and State
Veterinarian DR.. w. F. Crewe for,
warded hog cholera serum to Mandan
today to check the disease before 1t
spreads to healthy hogs. ~
George w. Gustafson, county agri-
cultural agent, stated this morning
that there were no signs of hog cholera
in Burleigh county, although he had
received reports from farmers Of black
leg affecting cattle. This disease is
not considered as serious as cholera
lior as infectious and steps are being
taken to segregate the animals affected
so that there will be no spread among
healthy herds.
Because of the rapidly with which
hog cholera spreads, farmers in Nor
ten county are alarmed. Every pre-
caution is being taken by the state
and county authorities there to control
the outbreak and it is hoped that the
disease will be confined to the COM
paratively few animals reported in
fected. It is believed the disease was
brought in by few hogs recently
shipped into Morton county from out
side the state.

Saturday afternoon when jamestown
and Bismarck meet on the local field
for their first game of the season
jamestown lost several weeks ago to
Valley City, contender for the south
eastern championship, by a score of
IA to 0. Bismarck has defeated Dick
irsOn T. to 0 and Mandan SO to o. and
unless Jamestown shows unusual
class, the capital city hopes to win
Saturday.
Grand Forks has been picked as the
northeastern district entry in the
state interscholastic championship,
The Red River valley appears to have
given little consideration to Williston
and to have arrived at the conclusion
that the finish fight will be between
Grand Forks and Valley City, with
possibly look-in for Bismarck. Fol
lowers Of interscholastic football in
this section of the state are confident
that the winner of the state cham
pionship will have to defeat Willis
ton. The Williams county .aggrega-
tion has, been making a wonderful re-
cord, and there seems nothing in the
northwestern district which can stand
up before it, So -
Bismarck is fortunate. this year in
having four stars of it's last two high
school teams in its lineup and also
in procuring the Services of Spencer
Boise as coach. Boise is a graduate
of the North Dakota aggie, where he
made a fine reputation in athletics
generally, and especially in football.
During the last two years he has kept
in trim by roughing it with the
Heinies on the west front, whittier he
went as assistant director of North
Dakota's famous second regiment
band. The boys here have world of
confidence in him, and he has a lot of
new stuff which he is putting over
successfully.
TWO WINS AND A ZERO
Jamestown comes to Bismarck with
TWO wins and zero. A comparison of
the two teams may be gained from the
following results of games played to
date by the two teams: :.
jamestown, 0; Valley City, IA.
jamestown, H.; Darlington, 5.
Jamestown. 26; Cooperstown, O.
Bismarck, -; Dickinson, 0.
Bismarck, 50; Mandan, 0. .a
1t is significant that when James
town met the only team representing
a city in Bismarck's class it suffered
defeat.
Dr. Stauffer of Fargo college will
referee Saturdays game, which will
be called at the capitol athletic
grounds at $3.50. The banner crowd
Of the season is expected to turn out
to root the B. H. s. on to victory.

1,COO MILES NEARER SEA

Assured by Governor Frazier, one OF
the eleven state executives who occupy
the. posts Of honorary vice presidents
of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tide
water association, that the deep water
way campaign of this organization
would receive his hearty support, G. P
Craig Of Duluth, vice president and
Executive director of the association
proceeded on his way westward last
night, intending to make his next stoI
at Billings, Mont, where he will ad
dress the chamber Of commerce. Mr.
Craig came to Bismarck especially fol
an interview with Governor. Fazier
and prior to his departure last night
the deep waterway worker declared
that he was. well satisfied with results
here.
Eleven states, said Mr.. Craig, have
associated themselves for the purpose
Of improving the st. Lawrence river
to make it navigable for ocean yes
sells. Member states are Ohio, Indiana
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Iowa, North and South Dakota
Montana and Wyoming. From among
the representatives of these states two
vice presidents are selected for each
commonwealth, and they with their
respective governors form the council
Of states. ~ .
HOW NORTH DAKOTA PROFITS
Mr.. Craig proposes that North Da
Sota be thoroughly organized and that
committees be named to carry on the
work within the state. particularly
with a view to cultivating an intel
l;gent public opinion in favor Of the
plan. whose consummation, declared
the Duluth man, will bring North Da
kota 1000 miles nearer to the sea and
the great world markets. The prob
lem, said Mr.. Craig, is to get to the
sea to open the heart of the cont@n
cnt to the ocean: to add 1000 miles tC
the coast line Of the United States. and
10 reduce the distance between NORTH
Dakota and the sea by more than half

Zenith City man. and he anticipated
no concerted antagonism on the part of

ule of the American expeditionary
forces. Mr.. Craig said. the plan could
be placed in execution in one year, but
a more efficient and economical plan
would contemplate five years Of con.
struction.

in this work said Mr.. Craig, is pro.
duced from IS to 70 per cent Of the

WORST TC0MP ARES
LAND PRICES IN
n. D. AND IN IOWA
Commissioner of immigration
Finds Farmer Has Best
Show in This State

Farm lands in Iowa and Illinois
are listed at 5000 and $500 per acre
and upward" says J. H. Worst, COM
missioner of immigration of North
Dakota, in the first bulletin issued by
his department.
Equally productive lands in North
Dakota are listed at $40 to $1OO per
acre."
"Why this difference in land
prices ?" asks Dr. Worst.
''It is a matter of misunderstanding
or prejudice, or both."
DR.. Worst's department hopes to
remove this misunderstanding from
the minds of thousands of prospective
settlers, especially in those states,
where land prices are soaring to un-
heard Of values, and it will be the pur-
pose of Ibis department to explain to
the people Of these states just what
North Dakota has to offer in the way
Of productive lands, climatic, educa-
tional facilities. social conditions, in
dustrial possibilities, etc.
The department of immigration will
have ten field deputies in active SER
vice in the states Of Iowa, Minnesota,
South Dakota, Illinois, Nebraska,
Wisconsin and Oklahoma, BY the first
of November. They will be equipped
with pamphlets and booklets explana-
tory of the state, and will be able to
explain in detail exactly what North
Dakota has to offer. Some of these
field deputies will be equipped with
moving pictures. illustrative of condi-
tions in North Dakota.
"We are making every effort" says
DR.. Worst, "to keep from any misrep-
resentation about conditions here. We
want prospective settlers to come in,
realizing that in North Dakota there
is an element of risk, the same as is
met with by the farmers of all states.
We hope to show, however, that while
North Dakota some time has partial
crop failures, it is not necessary to
have an income failure. While some
of the small grain crops may prove a
failure, it is possible in almost every
section of the state to be sure of
fodder crop, even in the driest years,
and the farmer can always depend on
sure income from the dairy and beef
cattle, and from other sources.

IDAHO WASTES

Boise. Idaho, Oct. 22-Members Of
the Idaho delegation in congress whe
are supporting the Mondell colder land
reclamation bill, have informed theil
constituents in the state capitol, that
passage of the bill would mean gov
ernment appropriations of more thar
$20OOO,OOO for improved irrigation and
new projects in Idaho. 4
It is claimed that the proposed Am
erican Falls dam would provide a re
servoir with a capacity of at least two
million acre feet; would supply water
for the irrigation of nearly half mil
lion acres, and would cost about $12,

Another recommendation is the
Black Canyon project, with Arrowroch
dam and canal fifty miles long tc
water wide area. The estimated cost
