^^ie question relating to1 repeal or
chartg!:
in the, land'laws has brought
out the fact that there is a i large
dmoitnt of land script in'.'exTsiaftce1,
whose value would be affected by irri
gation. It was a surprise to most peo
ple to find thkt there was a large
amount of this paper in ^xistanf e. In
vestigation shows that the forest re
serves have been increased from 22,
ooo.oco to 62,000,000 acres in the last
two years. Much of this 40,000,000
acres which has been added to the re
serves', is mountain top land and that
along jthe sources of streams—secured
to present spring floods and to retain
the winter's snow until later in the sea
son. It is generally land of low value,
and between 3,000,000 and 6,000,000 of
acres of land «crip has been issued to
the persons and corporations ownipg
portions of these reserves.' Some of
this lien scrip is limited as to where it
can be placed on public lands other
pieces can be. placed on any unoccupied
government land. The great, lumber
companies have been buying it up as
rapidly^ as possible to locate it oh tim
ber lands in the west and in Minnesota.
The vflue o£ the land* for which the
9crip .was, issued may not have«been
over $i.&5 per acre but now it can be
used to obtaiti the title to lartd worth
$10 or $15 per acre-^or on which the
timber is now worth many tinies that
amount. Any legislation on t|je land
laws will affect the price of this scrip.
Wfcat 4s"the government to do with it?
It was authorized to be issued, but cafi
no^a plan now be inaugurated to fix a
stated value on this scrip and call'it In?
It is a dangerpus quantity as far as the
remaining' area" of government land, ip
concerned. There is comparatively lit
tle good land left. lit rfetfds to be sav
ed for the man who wants to build a
home. *New is trte time tA prevent this
scrip doing damage, and .the only safe
way seeths^o have the government buy
it back. Thp scrip should be secured
'now, and the nation wifl be thankful
that this action was% promptly taken.
North Dakota blizzards for years
have been such in* fact rather than in
name. Thursday's stolen was perhaps
as near an approach to the notorious
blizzard as has been experienced for
a long period. There was a substan
tial fall of snow and there was suffici
ent wind to approximate blizzard con
ditions. But there is no longer the
terror of. tfiefe? storms in thevnoHh
west as .was common evei) a d^#p||

The- Farther:- The support of^at
least 400 cows ha? iang been the stand
ard set by the best authority tp jaistify
a community in building a creamery.
However,' some creamery promoters
have taken the' liberty to cut this down
to 300. The strangest part of it is that
sgme people talfe a great! deal more
^stock in the promoter's aavice, which
he gives wi{h a view of making a sale,
than they do in the advice of those who
have no expectation of- financial re
ward, and have only the best interests
of the creamery business at heart. But
after the creamery is closed foi want
of patronage,' the victims do not again
call on* the Tromoter for help, but ask
aid of the dairy and food department
the agricultural school ofthe farmers'
institute, to help theni perform tne dif
ficult task of resurrecting ai dead
creamery.
The argument is often advanced that
the farmers will not increase the num

..STREET STORIES.
A Fargo young man who is known'
to his particular friends as "Windy,"
on account of unusual "gift o' gab" re
cently became infatuated with a young
lady residing on the South Side, but
try as he.might he.could figure out no
way in which to secure an introduction
lie finally hit upon a plan that looked
pretty g^oodLto him and., although, lie
was successful in securing the undivid
ed attention-of-the adoped one.for the
space of a very, few'minutes lie .didTnot

From a friend, wlio is a book agent,
the yotnig nian secured the loan of
some latnple ibooks and thus armed he
boldly' rang the doorbell of the- house
in which the young womari lived. She
opened the door in person arid without
waiting to give her-a chance,to invite
him in he stepped across the threshold,
announcing that lie-was a book ageivjr
and had some works in which he knew
she would, be-interested. She pblitely
asked him into the parlor arid he
thought the game was half wpn," but
as he started to talk she excused.her
self and with the' remark that she
would' "CaH' papa" left the room before
he had time to interpose an objection.
"Papa" whs a grouch arid is well ver

that the young man carried was a poli
tical work the older man at once be
came interested. He could give the
ypunger man cards and spades and
beat him out hands doWn on the politi
cal game and he soon found that the
alleged book agent was not on to his
job. Finally he remarked in disgust:
"Young man, you'd better give up try
ing to sell books. You don't know the
game. I'm the easiest mark in Fargo
qut you couldn't sell me a bo.ok in ten
thousand years. Go.od morning, sir."
