The Courier acknowledges a pleasant
call. MI. Pritchard owns some 6,00C
acres in Toole county, including a
tract which he thinks is in the oil on
Black coulee. He values his holdings
at S500,000.00.
A. C. Beaupre of Sunburst, owner of
320 acres of land lying north of the
Gladys-Belle producer, was in town
Sunday. He was accompanied by one
of the drillers from the Rice well and
they report the tools had been extri-
Gated and conditions were ready for
further drilling in this hole which
promises as good a producer as is the
Belle we'll.
Jean Hasquet, we'll known rancher
living and having large holdings in
the vicinity of the Fulton we'll, was
at the county seat Saturday on bust

+ Crop Conditions for Thirteen Years
In 1909 there was u first class crop
On all the land that was seeded, in
1910 the crop was a total failure, in
1911 the crops nearly burned up, but
rains came before they were entirely
ruined and some fields made good
while others were only fair, and hear
ly all the grain was frosted because
Of the setback during the drought.
Irrigation would have prevented the
setback and matured the, crops before
the frost and would have secured for
all a good crop which would have sold
for nearly three times the price re-
ceived. I can furnish sworn state
ments that some farmers sold their
wheat for Csc per bushel that year;
1912 and 1913 produced very poor
crops Through lack Of moisture)
which furnished the farmers barely
operating expenses and not a living;
1914 there was another turnout, a
total crop failure; 1915 and 1916 there
lots Of rain and two better crops
never grew. The spring Of 1917 found
the land thoroughly saturated and on
the 1st of June all crops were in a
wonderful condition and promised to
equal the two preceding ones, but the
rain didn't come and hot winds and
drought ruined the beautiful prospect
and the result was almost another to-
failure; 1918 and 1919 and 1920
can all be considered as total failures,
and 1921 was very little better.
How the People Exist
In 1911, 1912, 1913 the Dominion
government furnished relief in a very

nent furnished millions of dollars for
feed and seed. Nearly every

Nobody that has any conception of

issue can doubt that while McCum-
Der failed TO gain from the bonus

Cumber, at least they could main

It was this detection in the dis
tricts which had been counted on as
McCumber strongholds that cost
McCumber the nomination. Frazier
with his bonus talk made a wretched
showing in those districts, but in
the same districts McCumber with
his bonus work could not make

McCllmb erS Defeat
(From the New york Trlbune. }

One clear conclusion is to be
drawn from Senator McCumber's
defeat. That is that the North Da-
kota Republican voters were not
favorably impressed by his bonus
and tariff campaigns at Washing
ton. He banked heavily on the
double fight he was leading in the
Senate and lost.

never before furnished a Senate
Finance Committee chairman. Mr..
McCumber was in a unique position
to serve the interests and to ap-
peal to the pride OF his constituency.
II North Dakota had the passage Of
the tariff bill and of the bonus bill
at heart, as he assumed it had, his
victory should have been easy. His
failure is manifestly a severe set

these two bills, could not take. his

have to serve many years before at

Senator McCumberS Defeat
(From the New York Herald)

The result of the North Dakota
primaries with the defeat Of Senator
Mccumber is one more warning to
the bonus vote chasers of the un-
happy consequences Of their evil
ways.
IL Is true that Lynn ]. Frazier, the
successful candidate against Nc
Cumber for the Republican nomina-
ton, is also a hot and noisy advo-
cate of an indiscrlminate bonus dis
tribution. But McCumber has been
actually on the job of trying to jam
his bonus bill through the Senate,
while Frazier had nothing to offer
the bonus seekers but his talk Of
what he would do for them II he
were elected.
On that alignment of the desperate
McCumber, willing TO endanger If
not TO wreck the whole Republican
program in the Senate for the sake
of the bonus, and of Frazier, able
only to shout he was going to do his
bonus bit II he got the chance, the
bonus odds should have been heav-
lily with McCumber If there had been
as much political advantage in
championing the raid on the national
Treasury as McCumber must have
thought there was. 1t must have
been his deep conviction that this
was the way to get votes to judge by
his frantic efforts to hang the bonus
loot as an accomplished fact at the

The Coal Situation
(From the New York Herald)

When the President of the United
States asked the coal mine owners
and the coal strike leaders to come
into conference along with him the
mine owners could not refuse and
the strike leaders could not refuse
in Difference to his office. When at
that meeting the President of the
United States requests them 10 go
into conference among themselves
they cannot refuse. They cannot re-
fuse to take up and discuss at his
request every point in dispute.
But, as matters now stand, there. is
no influence and there is no author
thority to compel a meeting OF minds
holding irreconcilable differences
over fundamental principles and
facts.
1t is not to be forgotten that while
the bituminous operators and union
leaders have failed to get together
even for discussion nothing like that

thracite dispute. The anthracite
owners and the anthracite unions

this IS OF vast Importance to the
American people.

And II the owners do

This overshadowing question is

duction. costs shall come down so
that the soft coal price to the con-
sumner can stay down where the non

can see the effects of the duty every
time they compare the Minneapolis
and the Winnipeg quotations. The
American Legion is also strong in
the state. II its voters wanted TO
see a bonus bill enacted at this ses-
sion their first impulse would have
been to hold up the hands of one
of the most conspicuous and per-
sistent bonus champions in Congress.
The North Dakotans could not see
K that way however. They put the
tariff and the bonus issues aside and
divided on other lines. just as the
people of most OF the other prim-
airy states have done. The voters
have been little affected by artificial
clamor about the Capitol for tariff
revision at once and a bonus at
once. Representatives and Sena-
tors, standing for denomination. SELF
ed on these two facts as life-savers
at the polls; but they grossly mis-
judged home sentiment. The folks
back home are not excited about the
tariff or the bonus.
