MORE POTATOES

North Dakota has the soil and cli-.
mate conditions for producing the best
quality Of potatoes, both for table
use and for seed. In the South much
larger yields Of potatoes are secured
from northern grown than from home
grown e North Dakota should
supply this seed trade. Potatoes are
a profitable crop to grow, and they
furnish the best kind Of a cultivated
crop which is needed in North Dakota
farming. Mr.. Porter, supt. Of the N.
Demonstration Farms has come to
the conclusion that potatoes is the best
cultivated crop for North Dakota, be-
ing ahead of corn in this respect, and
the whole South offerssa good market,

was issued az I understood it, 80 it
would apply on lots purchased. No
tice the article mentioned, If the par
ties who put up the money to payfor
ope-half Of the property, which they
were to give jointly with me to the
association. In other words, they
were to pay for one-half Of the pro-
perry and give it to the association
and I was to give. theother half to the
association. And'they vote themselves
convertible stock and apply it on to
the purchase of lots then what have
they given? But the bargain was for
the citizens to GIVE. and that meant
ly was giving one-half the agreed val
many stockholders, while l individual
ly was giving one half the agreed
value outright with the restriction
reserved. There were several
propositions for settlement and the
following was agreed to and a
mortgage followed to Mr.. Larimore,
as mentioned, ON 6 months time which
was difficult to make payment of. The
C~hautauqua deciding back to me the
% day of March, 1895, a strip of
land on the most easterly side of the
original, and I made a warrantee deed
to the association without any restrict
tons. The sixty acres was mostly
cut over for steamboat use in early
days and was not as valuable as that
lying on the shore of the lake.
I wish to add that I was much in
terested in the welfare of the Chau-
tauqua and I used to say "take care
of it for ten years and then the young
people of the state will take r of
it."
And I will venture to say that for
more than twelve years I worked hard
ed and spent more money in the inter-
est of Chautauqua than any man in
the state. And if one would take q
fair value Of what I got back from the
first deal in 1902 it would figure large
~ in my favor, notwithstanding state
ments which have been published that
no n had ever really given anything

Of C%hautauqua

donate it to the association and I
would donate the other half, with this
restriction, that improvements to the
value of $1,000 be made the first year
and $1,000 the second year, the pro-
perty to be maintained as a Chautau-
qua, or it revert to me. This was
agreed to and the deed was made and
recorded. The date of this deed was
Nov. %, 1892, and a commencement
of the improvements followed and I
think satisfactorily until they needed
more money. January %, 1895, I e
ceived a notice from the secretary
Rev. C. w. Collins, of a stockholders
meeting to be held at the court house,
stating that the purpose was to secure
a more perfect title to the C%hautauqua
property. And I wish to state right
here that they had a perfect title So
long as they fulfilled their part of the
contract. The court house meeting
brot out many propositions. The first
on Jan. 30th that the citizens accept
the first deed and afterward refused.
This deed was made in accordance
with my proposition dated August 80,
and accepted at the general meeting
held at Fargo. Further that the stock
issued to the first stockholders of Dew
lis Lake to the amount of $1,000 be
surrendered and re-issued to the same
parties in the sum Of $1,000 in non
convertible stock Of the associations.
After these matters were complied
with I was to extend necessary time.
If this proposition was not acceptable
I agreed to make other propositions,
and other propositions followed. five
or more in all. On February 9th I
made another proposition, and con-
tinued to do so until one was accepted,
executing the one in relation to con-
vertible stock. The convertible stock

Editor World:
In the journal of the 9TH appeared
an article with reference to the early
doing of Chautauqua which has ex-
cited considerable interest, and SO
many people have asked me as to my
knowledge of the early history of the
association that l have concluded to
do so.
When the Spirit Wood Lake asso-
citation came here looking for a site.
as referre to in the article, I would
ask the reader to read that part of
the article carefully so they may un-
derstand fully whether it reflects up
on the writer hereof. When the asso-
citation came to looking for a location
they had no money with which to pur-
chase a site or make improvements.
As I understood it they had looked
the country owe thoroughly. Then
they took the matter up with me, and
it developed that it was up to the peo-
pie of Devils Lake to furnish the site
and put up the money to buy it. Right
here it was taken up with me, and
negotiations started for the purchase
Of the present site. At that time this
property, with the improvements on it
at that time, ere conservatively
worth $4,000. 1t was a virgin forest
scripped by me before the land was
been surveyed. There were other pro-
jects on at the time for the use of this
site. If Devils Lake people got the
Chautauqua they had to put up the
money and make the improvements
and those going into the deal, I think
knew just what they were doing, all
being Of age. They soon had my pro-
position. After considerable dickering
over the matter of purchase I finally
agreed to the following understand
ing: The citizens to pay me $1,000 and

to say that no citizen of the United

himself termed "the strenuous life",
and his practical application of that
mode of living to himself. made him
the idol Of the millions Of Americans
who believed that the application of
and confidence will over
come most obstacles.
"Col. Roosevelt gloried in his citi-
zenship. He not only offered his best
abilities to the civil life Of the Repub-
lie, but he was always at the front
when danger threatened. In the Span
ish war none was more energetic than
he in organizing and leading the men
who brought about early victory in
Cuba. He clearly descearned a danger

"When the Akhoond of Swat" says
Col. Harvey in explaining he real pur-
pose Of the League Of Nations, "eoes
forth to battle. with,the Begun Of Bho-
pal, an American Expeditionary Force

Of the obligations the United States

try becomes a part Of the League.

suffering was intensified BY the thot
that he was not permitted to share
their dangers Although Col. Roose
welt did notodon q uniform 1t 10 hardly
too much to say thats;he is victim
of the war. No citizen Of the country
has been more active thai, he, urging
every man to do his bit for victory.
Criticised by somesfor calling the Adj
ministration to task for the manifest
failures, it mustabe admitted that his
efforts and those Of his friends have
been productive Of much good thru
the reforms in our military organixa-
tions that were secured. His devotion
to war work entailed exertions on his
part that undoubtedly fastened his
death, and it may be justly said that
he gave his life for his country as
truly as if he had died ON the battle
field.
Colonel Roosevelt made strong
friends. He likewise. incurred violent
enemies. But every antagonist must
concede that MI. Roosevelt was 4
worthy opponent. He never resorted
to unfair means to discomftu an adver-
sary. Treachery was unknown to him
and his fights were won by straight
blows from the shoulder. AS an ex-
ample of virile American manhood the
memory ofTheodore Roosevelt win
live in the midst of all, to be emulateo
by those of our citizens who wish to
preserve the United States from mem
and physical decadence.n
