We copy in this issue a correspondence
published in the Fargo Argus endorsing
CojL Lonnsberry for the United States sen
ate. While we approve of every word ut
tered in Mr. Lonnsberry's favor, yet the
IiSADKB at this time cannot fall in line on
the senatorship. That Col. Lonnsberry is
entitled to marked recognition by the peo
ple of North Dakota every honest-minded
man must admit. He has done as much,
and we believe more than any other one
man in humble life to advance the inter
ests of our people, and could, and would,
do a great deal'more if placed in a position
where his efforts and influence could avail
with the national government. He is
clear-headed, clean-handed and oonscien
5^^^whonaJhft|»M»ple can place
the utmost confidence, and were the condi
tions different his chances would be para
mount to those of all other aspirants. But
the people of the Missouri slope are in
sympathy with our present United States
senator, Hon. Gilbert A. Pieroe, for the re
election of whom they will make every
honorable effort. He is a man of eminent
ability, wields an influence at the national
capital unprecedented by any man in so
short a space of time, and by virtue of lo
cality, fitness and his olean record is enti
tled to the most implicit eonfidenoe of the
people, and to a continuance in his present
position for at least one full term. Our
people here feel morally pledged to Sena
tor Pierce, and will not desert him now for
the sake of other friends. To do so would
be dangerous to all our interests. It might
not only defeat him, but it might bury all
our other friends with him. It is not safe
to let go your hold on one rung of the lad
der until you are sure of your grasp on
the next one.
The Northwestern Farmer and Breeder
sixes up the grain situation in its true
light It says that CoL Rodgers of the
Market Beoord in Minneapolis, has been
quoted freely by certain journals as emi
nent authority on crop statistics, and the
unknown or unthinking are giving these
reports great publicity. It denies that
the oolonel has access to information not
perfectly free to every one or that he oan
be authority on the wheat crop of the
Northwest in the shock, mueh less before
it is out. These crop statistic makers are
now splitting hairs as to whether the crop
of Minnesota and the Dakotas shall be
ninety or one hundred million bushels.
Wheat is worth $1.00 a bushel in the
Dakotas and would probably bring it*
were it not for these wholly unreliable orop
estimates of Bodgers, who is simply the tool
of the ^heat buyers his Market Becordnow
reports the flax orop at the oountry as
double that of former years. The flax
orop is, as every one knows, a very uncer
tain quantity, but it is soon to be mar
keted see?
The wheat of North Dakota is a spring
variety. Its superiority has given it a
grade unto itself as "Dakota No. 1 hard."
The peculiar hardness is said to be due to
the long warm Bunny days, which cause
the grain to fully ripen. It is best for the
roller process of grinding, and a given
quantity of flour made from it will pro
duce more and better bread than is pos
sible from any other kind. Flour made
from Dakota No. 1 nard, cured natur
ally in the open air, contains 8 per cent
less moisture than California flour made
from wheat dried in kilns, and will make
proportionately more bread. A barrel
of flour made from Bed Biver wheat will
make from twenty to thirty more loaves
of bread than that made from winter or
eastern wheat. This has made it a favorite
with bakers, and created a demand for it
in foreign lands.
One of the historio characters of the
northwest has passed away. George Far
ibault, the head farmer and ohief of In
dian polioe at Standing Book agenoy, on
the Missouri, is dead. He was one of the
most remarkable men in the great north
west. Hie father was the founder of the
beautiful oity of Faribault, in Minnesota.
Geo. Fairbault was a man of great influ
ence among the Indians and waa a quarter
breed himself. He figured in the Indian
war of the early sixties and saved the
lives of many white people. He has been
rightly called the Daniel Boone of the
northwest, and his death is keenly felt at
the agenoy, where his influence for good
was unbounded. •v,--
Fargo Argus: Judge Gilford fails in
renomination for congress—the same
having been captured by Hon. John
Gamble, of Yankton. Judge Gilford

honorable, hardworking, painstaking
member—it took a mighty good man to
beat him.

The democrats of Wisconsin have nomi

Bad Boy," for governor, and our old friend
John Hunnef, of Eau Claire, for state

The assessment of the state of North
Dakota is about $90,000,000, some $6,000,
000 of which is the assessment of the
Northern Pacifio lands and road bed. The
Great Northern, (formerly the St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba), will pay its
taxes on the basis of its gross earnings.
The state board of equalization has
placed the state tax levy at four mills, the
limit authorized by the constitution. In
so doing the board aoted upon the advice
-of- the attorney general who filed an Op
inion based upon a precedent cited from
Minnesota, where the first legislature
neglected to fix the levy as prescribed by
the constitution.
Nothing is more previous than the
weed. Go into a garden when you will,
the weed is there before you. It grows
behind your back, whenever you take
your eyes from it a moment, and flour
ishes from the time you hang up the hoe.
Sit down and wateh it all day, and its bulk
will not be augmented in the slightest
degree. It remains as unobtrusive as a
bashful boy when strange girls are in the
house but the moment you take your eyes
from it, it pokes up its head and puts its
foot in, your pocket. A weed is the most
cheerful thing in nature. It is never dis
oouraged. Cut it down if you will. The
exeroise will benefit you, and do
it no harm.
The influence of weeds is the enemy of
the Church. That a weed will grow where
a tulip will die, may be one reason why
so many preachers are bald-headed.
Cheap Coal Again.
(Bismarck Commonwealth.)
We wonder if the people of Bismarck
will permit the enterprising oitizens of
Pierre, Chamberlain and Yankton and
other cities along the Missouri river to
not only awaken us from our slumbers,
but actually pull us out of bed to take hold
of the cheap fuel problem with the man
ufacturing possibilities incident thereto.
Let us demonstrate that our coal oan be
laid down at the landing for $1.25 or even
1.50 per ton and our advantages as a man
ufacturing center will be shown beyond
question and capital be attracted. The
following whieh we clip from the Pierre
Free Press shows that Chamberlain is to
organize a company to ship our coal to
that oity:
Chamberlain has seen the wisdom of
burning cheap coal this winter, as well as
Pierre. The Tribune of Wednesday states
that an informal meeting has been held
there for the purpose of organizing a coal
company to bring the Bismarck coal to
this place this fall in sufficient quantities
at least to supply the local market with
cheap fuel with a view of course of enlarg
ing the facilities hereafter as the demand
would warrant. It is proposed to secure
a number of barges, have them filled at
the mines on the upper river, and have
them towed down by boat. It is thought
that coal can at least be offered for $8 per
ton, and return a fair profit on the invest
ment. The matter will reoeive immediate
attention.
Let it be remembered that the coal re
ferred to above is the MoLean county coal.
Bismarck has no coaL
Experiments in Kansas with eorn, this
year of frightful drouth, proves that when
listed as deep as possible corn will stand
drouth more than twioe as long as when
planted with a corn planter on plowed
ground. Listing (as some of our North
western readers may not know) is done
on stubble ground, or between the last
year's rows on old oorn ground, without
plowing, by a machine called a "lister,"
which opens a narrow furrow, drops the
com, plants it, and presses it by a following
wheel, much on the principle of the press
drills used for drilling grain. The oorn is
dropped in moist soil, that lying below
not having been disturbed, while that
above the seed is thoroughly pulverized.
The theory is that the oapilliary action, by
which moisture arises from lower strata
of soil to feed plant life, through small
pores or channels in the soil, (which are
broken up by planting or stirring the
surface), is best preserved in this way,
and that to give the plant the full advan
tage of all the available moisture below it
the seed must rest on the undisturbed soil,
while the soil above it is broken and made
as fine as possible. The experiments
which have been tried, this season, seem
to establish this theory, and many known
facts harmonize with it, and serve to guide
the farmer, in the regions subjeet to sev
ere drouths, into a new system of prepar
ing the soil, which will enable him to defy
drouths without irrigation. It is certain
that investigation and experiment are
resulting in the discovery of laws which
were until lately undreamed of, and which
will,, if applied, intelligently, avert many
failures.—^Northwestern Agriculturist...

Favors Col. Lounilierrx,
(From Fargo Argus.)
Minnewaukan, N. D., Aug. 26.—To The
Argus: In response to your mention of
Colonel Lounsberry in connection with
the senatorship, I hand you the enclosed,
and hope you will give it a place in your
columns.
I knew Colonel Lounsberry in Minne
sota before he came to Dakota, and am
familiar with his career in this state. It
will be an easy matter for you people to
elect him, and I want to assure you that
the Farmers Alliance will help you do it,
no matter if you were the first to suggest
his name. Colonel Lounsberry is growing!
every day in the estimation of the people,
and your reoent attack upon him ovi,.
made him stronger in this section of the
state where we know the good work done
by him. in connection with his land office
work. This county—Towner, Eddy and
Nelson were specially unfortunate. Here
Sparks held soores of claims' for cancella
tion without cause whioh were sent to
patent on Colonel Lonnsberry's report
without a dollar's expense to the claimant.
THK XNDOB8EMSNT.
Minnewaukan, N. D., Aug. 26.—To The
Argus: In suggesting the name of Colonel
Lounsberry for the United States senate,
you have touohed a popular chord, and
there ought to be just such a response to
it as there was to the suggestion of the
name of M. N. Johnson for oongress by
The Argus.
As you very well know Oolonel Louns
berry ought to have been made governor,
when Pieroe was appointed. He was the
choice of North Dakota, at least, but Dako
tans were not governing Dakota in those
days. He was the real choice of this coun
ty when Hansbrough was nominated, but
he was forced aside in order to make the
delegation solid for this section of the
state.
I have read, I think in The Argus, that
Colonel Lounsberry was the ffrst newspa
per man to cast his lot in North Dakota,
and that he gave to the territory his best
energies seventeen years ago, long before
nine-tenths of the people now in North
Dakota thought of coming here. His
ready pen has been wielded for North Da
kota from that day to this and he is today
better acquainted with the people of ^our
state and has more personal friends than
any other man in the state. His heart
goes out to the old time settlers and there
is not a man among them who does not
know him and admire him for his loyalty
to the state, to his friends and to his party,
and for his fearlessness under all circum
stances. You who dictate the politics of
this state may prefer to discover some
new man who has the charm of money
about him, or who may be backed by a
railroad or some nationality or sectional
influence, but you cannot name a man eas
ier to eleot or who would represent the
state better than Colonel Lounsberry.
He has never been recognized as an
ally of the railroads, and yet they doubt
less admit that he would be just with
them. Those who have attended the last
three sessions of the Farmers' Alliance
know that he has been admitted to their
exeoutive sessions, though not a member
of the alliance, because the members knew
that he would treat them fair in his news
paper work. The old soldiers recognize
in him a comrade worthy of their confi
dence and support. The temperanoe
people know he is a temperate man and
in sympathy with their fight for the home,
though not a crank on the sub jeot, and
therefore not antagonistic to any element.
He is a friend of the state adminstration
and not an enemy to either The Argus or
any others among those who were in the
lottery camp, though he was not connected
with them in any manner. For me, I en
dorse Colonel Lounsberry for the United
States senate and hope the people will do
themselves the credit to endorse for this
posit|on one who has neither wealth no?
combinations to baok him, who cannot be
claimed by any locality in particular, for
he is known to all and in sympathy with
all, and who is strong in the affections of
the people, strong in his well known abil
ity, and strong in his unflinohing integ
rity.
Grand Forks Herald: The mammoth
railroad scheme of ex-Gov. Gilpin, of Col
orado, who is now in Alaska making ex
plorations in connection with it, appeals
to the imagination, if not to the judgment.
It oomprehends nothing less than a railroad
from the Rooky mountains, through Alas
ka, aoross Behring strait, through Siberia
to a oonneotion with the Russian system
of railroads, whioh oonneot with the net
work of roads of western Europe—in short,
an all-rail route from New York to Havre.
The greatest obstaole in the way of the
projeet in not a physical one, as might be
supposed. The shallow water of Behring
strait and the presence of islands midway
render bridging practicable. The unbrok
en solitudes of northeastern Siberia, the
thousands of miles of oountry on both
sides of the strait that would furnish no
business for a road, place it for the present
in the category of visionary projects. The
road mBy be built some day far in the
future.
