OVER THE STATE
(By E. E. Saunders)

Overly, N. D., June 29.-The writer
left Grand Forks Thursday morning
for a trip west from Ardoch to Ken
mare and intermediate points along
the 500 Line.
Ny last visit to these regions was
as a Sunday school missionary, 80
years ago., by the Great Northern
trains to L%angdon, St. Johns and Bot
tineau. Now we have daily passenger
trains. except Sundays, on those lines,
and the same on the 500 Line. each
way, so that the people can leave here
at noon and reach Grand Forks early
the same evening. Then, settlers were
few and far between. with no conven-
fences. Now. farmers can reach the
county seat within an hour or so, and
return home for dinner. Then, most
of the people lived in a sod or log
house; now we see palatial homes
and large barns, surrounded by fine
groves of forest trees. among which
are apple, plum and cherry, also cur
rant and gooseberry bushes and straw
berries of good quality and quantity.
Then, the main crop was wheat and
scrub quality of livestock and hogs;
now, we see high grade horses, cattle,
hogs and sheep.
The people were then content to

a good. supply Of fresh fish for supper.
1t is simply marvellous the transfer
nations That have taken place during
these years, and shown in pictures OF
houses and barns, with groves, farm
scenes Of growing crops, harvesting
and drying of seed corn"
All Of these things speak volumes
of the persistent, energetic, progressive
spirit OF Bottineau county citizens who
are willing to cooperate with the
county commissioners and the aericul-
tural experiment station in the main
tenance Of two agricultural field
agents in producing better results in
farming. The crops Of all kinds are
now looking fine and give promise of
an abundant harvest. II present con-
ditions continue.
The county fair closed yesterday
and was a great success. The exhibits
of stock and products of the soil were
fine. The "grasshopper pest: that has
fnterfered with crops for the past two
years is now under control. Several
farmers have sown sweet clover this
year and the seed that was procured
from the Red River valley Is produce
ing a very fine stand.

Bottineau has had q successful year

tendent.

GETS NAVY OIL CONTRACT
MELONS Firm Proves to Be the
Lowest Bidder

Washington, July 20. - One Of the
big corporations in which A. w. Mellon,
Secretary of the Treasury. Is heavily
interested has just been given big
contract to supply the Navy with n
large part of the oil to be used this
year. The Mellon company, which is
the Gulf Refining Co., got it because it
underbid the Texas Oil Co., which has
had the contract for many years, by
nearly so per cent.
That was shown yesterday by investi-
cation at the Navy Department, as the
result Of widespread rumors that the
Mellon company was given the contract
because Of the position in the Govern
ment of Its heaviest stockholder.
The Texas OIL Co., according to
Navy Department records, has been
supplying the Navy with oil for the
last six or seven years. Rear Admiral
Griffin, Chief of ehe Bureau Of En-
gincering, yesterday said the Texas Co.
has furnished good oil and their SER
vice has been splendid, "but they were
outguessed by the Gulf Refining Co.
on prices
The total bid of the Gulf Refining
Co. for supplying the various types of
oil needed by the Navy on the Pacific
Coast for the coming year was $401, -
270 and it got the contract. The Texas
Oil Co. bid totaled SS01 ,176.'
For the Atlantic Coast the Gulf Re-
fning bid was $2s4 900 in the aggre-
gate, while the Texas Co.'S bid was
S550,S40. That contract went to a
still lower bidder.
