der the auspices of the Century class

lively displayed giving the festive
scene tone and environment quite
in keeping with the repast which con-
sisted Of wild fowl, including prairie
chickens, ducks and other edible fowl
and for those who preferred the
committee had made provision for
their taste by providing generous
quantity of spring chicken. It was
noted that the prevailing choice ran
to the wild fowl which Chef Tomp-
kins and his corps Of capable assist
ants had roasted to q turn. With
liberal helpings Of delicious gravy,
mashed potatoes and squash to say
nothing Of the wondrous pumpkin
pies, jellies and other delcacies which
appeal to the inner man the throngs
which were served found their wants
supplied. During the dinner instru-
mental>music, interspersed with solos
and chorus singing added pleasing
touch to this, the third annual ban
quet Of this enterprising organization.
The banquet was the third annual

Some Choice Minot Plums

Some Choice Minot Plums
The writer is indebted to Mrs. VIM
Estlick for a sample Of some of the
finest plums we have ever seen grown
in North Dakota. The plum trees
in her garden, north of the city, were
SO heavily laden with the choice fruit
that the limbs had to be held off the
ground with numerous props. Mrs.
Estlick brot in several branches full
Of the luscious fruit and these have
been on display at our office. This
is great year for native plums. The
frost has held off late and even at
this late date, there has not been a
killing frost, which has permitted the
fruit to ripen nicely.

North Dakota Land Held Too Low
Saws Iowa Man

A. ]. Bridges Of New Bedford, Ia,
is here looking after his farming in
terests near Des Laos. Mr.. Bridges
is engaged in manufacturing in Iowa,
where times have been very prosper
GUS. He reports that land which is
now around $500 In acre appears to
have reached its top notch price and
a few buyers who went the limit have
lost some money. Iowa farmers
wonder why North Dakota land is of.
fered so cheap. Mr.. Bridges says il
the farmers would hold their land at
around $1OO an acre they would sell
it more readily. 1t is like putting a
low price on a good horse. The buy
er hesitates because he's afraid there's
something wrong with the horse.

 Fourth MT. Grinnel says that represent portion of the senti- mentsIists of the country, mostly women and children So far as do represent women and children, I am proud of my position; but the facts are the reverse of the impression that Mr. Grinnel intended to convey. The Permanent Fund contains 72 founders and subscribers (59 men. Il women and two organi5ations), and I know of no organization which con- tains a stronger group of experienced working and sacrificing conservators of wild life. That group of "senti- mentalists" @ had the courage to back ID it's conservation principles with si03 in cash as an yendow- ment fund to sustain it's ideas and it's work: and that is the largest fund in existence of it's kind, save one.
 Finally. I cheerfully leave Gov Riggs, Mr. Troy, MT Sheldon and the other sponsors of the Sulzer bill for the sale of game in Alaska, to judge to be taken "serlously" or not in Alaskan game conservation.
 This, Mir. Editor. is my answer, once and for all time to the attacks of MT Troy and Mir. Riggs. aided by my dear old friend @ George B. Grjnnel Heretofore if ha. heon my fixed rule not to reply to personal abuse by my enemies: but this case is in class by itself. If you will give me my day in court through vour columns.
