MORE SHEEP IN

Regina, Sask.-The sheep popula-
ton of saskatchewan is slowly in
creasing. according to the annual re-
port of j.. &. Robertson, secretary OF
the Saskatchewan Sheep Breeders
association. despite the fact that
prices of mutton. lamb ana wool arc
much lower than Immediately after
the war.
The increase" a y the report, tbs
not due to any new purchases OF
sheen to II large extent but to tho
fact that the increased demand In
earlier years has not yet lost its mo-
mentum and to natural INCREASES.
Also many farmers are realizing that.
taking all things into consideration.
there is as much profit in maintain

Mr.: Robertson says the other two
prairie provinces. Manitoba and AL
nerta, also show a gain in sheep popu-
latlon. Though sheep men have ! to
accept lower prices, they are adopting
new methods of marketing which In
sl4res them the very highest prevail

methods. introduced by the govern

KEEPING FAITH.

lhe advice given by Theodore Johnson of
! Velva to delegates who viii attend the Jamestown
convention is sound, but it should scarcely be. neces-
Ssary. Mr.. Johnson urges that the: mill and elevator
at Grand Forks be completes and put into operation
as early as possible, and that the states farm loan
business be expanded so as to afford the best facili-
ties possible to the farmers for securing loans on
their property.
There is no chance for argument on either
POINT. These things were promised specifically bv
the independents in the recall campaign. and to fail
IN any particular in carrying out the pledges then
made would be to break faith with the people, a
course injustifable from any standpoint. and one
which would certainly and properly be followed by
ethe repudiation by the people of those responsible
l8prs such a breach Of trust.
Fortunately It is not necessary to wait for any
futurc Civilizations or gatherings Of any kind in or
aaer to ascertain whether or not these pledges are
"a bs fulfilled. They are being fulfilled. The new
Ndastfiafs commission has been doing exactly what

Senator Rorah urges that steps he taken for the
deportation of the former Cossack leader, General
when the present charges against him are
disposed of,On the ground that when in command of
Ear Eastern forces he butchcred American men, wo-
men and children.
There will be little opposition to the deportation
OF Selncnoff if such charges as Mr.. Borah makes
can be verified. The country will receive with some
surprise, however, such statements of wholesale
butchery as are indicated by Senator Borah, cspeci-
ally of the killing of American women and children.
American officers who were in charge of the
small attachments Of Our forces in eastern territory
are understood to have denounced Semenof as a
brigand. a fact which indicates that the Cossack
leader did not impress himself very favorably on the
Americans present in that territory. But the sort
of thing that is implied in the term "butchery" is
new. There was. friction in that terri
tory, and there were encounters which, as the facts
are now recalled, resulted in the killing of American
soldiers. But it is not recalled that either women
or children were involved. In fact, it will be news
to most people that there were any American women
and children there.
The clashes between the American soldiers and
the men of Semenof's command were reported and
discussed at the time. There was very intense in
terest i'll the subject. There were no obstacles in
the way of the presentation of the full facts. 1t is
'nconceivable that slaughter of American women
and children could have been carried ON under the
orders of a bandit chief in Siberia without the facts
becoming generally known in the United States.
Se1nenoff may have been a brigand, as the
American officers charge but even at that, it does
not follow that he is the butcher described in what
is apparently the ill-considered' statement of Senator
Borat.

POOR SPORTSMANSHIP,

The course of John N. Hagan, former commits
sioner of agriculture and labor and member Of the
state industrial commission, in abandoning the
dwelling erected for him by the Home Builders as
ISOLATION under the authority and direction Of the
colnrAsslon, and his reputation of all contracts and
agreements will, reference to this dwelling, have
brought Mr.. Hagan into strong disfavor with many
Nonpartisan leaguers who look with contempt on
the exhibition of poor craftsmanship which he has
given.
Mr.. Hagan is being sued for the cost of the
house Which the state erected for him. His defense
appears to be, first. that he never bought the house
or agreed to buy it; second, that having bought the
house and partly paid for it, Ing wants his money
back because the price is too high. 1t is not clear
whether he intends to present these lines of de-
tense together or one at a time.
1t is to be remembered that the only controversy
between NJ. Hagan and the present industrial COM
mission IS that OF settlement. The Home Builders
association was organized under the law as a branch
of the work of the Industrial commission of which
Governor Frazier, Attorney General LANCER, and
later Attorney General Lernke and COMMISSIONS
Hagan were members. These officials were charg-
cd with the responsibility of organizing the home
cruising its work. The men in charge of it's work
were under their direction and responsible. to them.
Under some arrangement, ostensibly in COM
|Pliance with the law, this department, operating un-
def the direction OF MIR. Hagan and his associates
built tor Mr.. Hagan's usc-a house which was sub
ssequently occupied by him, and on account of which
he. appears to have made certain payments. Either
there was a contract. valid and enforciblc, or an un-
derstanding intended by all concerned to operate
as a contract, or there was an attempt to put some
thing over on the state.
When the probable cost of the house began to
loom up, Mr.. Hagan just walked out, denying or
|repudiating contracts, understandings, and the
bullying association of which he was one of the SUI
perior officers. When that happened there was a
snort OF disgust from a lot of Jeagners who said that
ill Hagan's place they Would have stuck tn the dea1
and gone through with it if it were the last thing
they ever did.
Mr.. Hagan is not a sportsman of that sort. If
an outfit for which he was responsible, and Of whose
facilities he sought to avail himself blundered and
got its affairs all messed up he does not propose
that its stupidity shall cost him anything. Rather,
he will repudiate the work of his own hands and 80
into court with the assertion that nothing ever hapr.
psened, and that whatever did happen was the Other
fellow fault.

lall accounts, rnntracts,ssetc.; was made. In.@the'
lightsof the information thus gained plans forsthe
resumption of work as soon as the weather would
permit were, made, and work on the buildings on a
large scale has already been started. Tl,e engineer
in charge says that additional men will be set at
work as rapidly as preparations for their employ
nlcnt can be made, and that within q very short time
some three hundred men will be at work pushing
the construction to completion. The work is to be
completed as rapidly as is possible, and as soon as
the plant is in share for operation it will be operat-
ed, each completed unit being used as soon as com
.pleted, and the whole being put i'll commission at
the earliest possible moment.
The administrator has beef, 30 less diligent in
its handling Of the farm loan work. The business
OF the Bank OF North Dakota was left in a horrible
be Strengthened out. But steps were taken at the
beginning Of the work OF the present administration
to segregatc the farm loan business and, while the
other affairs Of the hank were being untangled. to
utilize the facilities which could be prepared for that
work in the financing of the farm loan business.
0reditable progress has been made. Energetic
measures have been taken for the sale of securities
so that funds would be available for farm loans at
moderate rates, and the improved condition of the
states credit has made possible the sale of securi-
ties at rates which. reflected in the interest rates
Charged on farm loans, will effect handsome saw
ings for the borrowers. "a
The Jamestown conventions need inaugurate
no new policy with reference to these matters. The
utmost that they can do is to express appreciation
of the work already done and to pledge, on behalf
of the candidates who are to be endorsed for state
positions, y continuation of the work now under
way. Faith has been kept with the people, and we
must continue in that course.
