PROJECT.
| IS CONSIDERED AT
BISMARCK MEETING
State and Federal Governments
to Join in McHenry Coun-
ty Paintings

Plans for the most extensive forest
alton project In the history OF
North Dakota were under considera-
ton Thursday by federal officials,
President F. E. Cobb of the state for
estry school at Bottineau, members
of the state board of administration
and of the state land board.
The plan provides for a federal
tree planting project in Towner and
McHenry counties which may event.
ually total 100000 acres.
This years planting, according to
the program worked out by Cobb and
DR.. Raphael Zon, head Of the gov
ernment forestry work in the North
west, provides for the planting of five
acres with coniferouS trees this
spring at point between Riga and
Denbigh, McHenry county. This will
be followed by other paintings an:
nually in an effort to determine If
trees can be grown successfully in
that region.
Offices for the federal experiment
project will be established at the
Bottineau Forestry school, according
to members of the board of admins
tration who are participating in the
conferences. A small office and a
nursery also will be located at the
site Of the planting project. the idea
being to raise additional seedlings
for further paintings. The nurseries
at Bottineau also will be drawn upon
for planting stock.
The area in which the experimental
forest will be located Is covered
largely by sand dunes and Is, for the
most part, unsettled. w. ]. Church,
member Of the board of administra-
tion, said it was settled by homestead
ers in the early days but that most
of these folks had subsequently left
for more productive farms and most

naval guards aboard the Yangtse

The Chinese poured sharp fire into
the Iping, which had been disabled
by striking a rock In the Yangtse
rapids and was limping into Ichang
for repairs. The engagement was Sc

proving too effective for the Chinese
to Withstand.

from sub-acute bronchitis, was being
maintained, it was stated officially
at windsor Castle Thursday morn
ing.
The assurances that his majesty
is progressing nicely have been
somewhat qualified from the begin

about him that his progress neces-
sarily must be slow.
The king did not attend the fam
lily dinner at the castle Wednesday
evening, although the Princess Mary
and her husband, Earl Of Hardwood,
newly arrived at the Castle, were

DIRECTS APPEAL TO SOUTH
Says Democrats So Bankrupt
They Cannot Present Con-
crete Statement
DIRECTS APPEAL TO SOUTH

Washington, April 9.-(F)-1he Re-
publican party has begun a campaign
interpreted as an effort to gain some-
thing from Democratic discord over
the Raskob proposals.
In an attack on the program sug-
gested for 1882 by the Democratic
national committee chairman. Robert
H. Lucas, executive director Of the
Republican national committee. said
Wednesday night the only concrete
propositions offered by the opposing
party had come from Raskob.
"Mr. Raskob," Lucas said in an ap-
peal to the south over the Dixie net
work of the Columbia Broadcasting
system, makes the unique pro-
posal that the solution of tie eco
nomic problems now confronting the
United States, and in which the south
Is vitally interested, may be solved by
Cd repeating the federal arti-trust
laws; and ca offering every indlvid-
ual q drink.
"This is an entirely new school Of
political thought"
Lucas asserted continuing Repub-
lican tariff and other. policies had
aided development and prosperity OF
the south, adding:
Its place, therefore, politically Is
In the Republican party"
He mentioned differences o. opin-
ion in the Democratic party. The
house Democratic caucus called for
last February was abandoned, he said
because they ascertained that in the
event they held such caucus they
could not agree upon anything and
would in all probability wind UP in
an open quarrel"
The recent Democratic national
committee meeting, when Raskob
first advanced his suggestions for
the 1882 platform, Lucas asserted,
"ended in a near riot. with nothing
accomplished"
"Why should the people OF the
SOUTH" Lucas asked, participate in
organization that is so bankrupt and
so disorganized that it cannot present
to the American people a concrete
statement as to what it believes and
as to what 1t will do in event it is
given control of the federal govern
ment.
why should the people of the
south continue to place therselevs
in q perpetual minority. and SET
themselves aside from the rest of the
country politically by following sucn
bankrupt leadership"
