Senator Haggart has introduced bill
appropriating $25,O00 to pay the expenses
of Worlds Fair commission, whose duty
it shall be to make a suitable representa-
tion of North Dakota's products and in
dustries in Chicago in 1898. Many favor
the appropriation of $4,000, and some of
100000, but $25,OOO is all the legislature
will vote.-Grand Forks Plaindealer.
Will the Plaindealer please explain what
"industries" We have in North Dakota to
be represented in the great exposition?
Five thousand dollars would pay every ex-
pense necessary to advertise the advan-
tages and undeveloped resources of the
state, and every thousand dollars in excess
of that would be nothing more nor less
than bonus given to defray the expenses
of gang of real estate spectators and
land sharks in the Red river valley. We
cannot believe that this legislature will be
so unmindful of the interests of their con-
stituents and the financial condition of
the state as to sanction the appropriation
of so much money simply to crafty the
eelhsh ambition of few boomers in the
Red river country.

The senatorial fight at Bismarck is wax
ing exceedingly warm. At this distance
it looks as though Senator Pierce's chances
we're on the wane, while those of Colonel
Lounsberry-the big-hearted friend of the
farmer and the poor-are expanding with
each succeeding day as favorite for Sec
ond choice, with grand prospects of grow
ing into successful first. Hansbrough
has strong following, and is providing
hard as third. Walter Muir and several
of the small fry are watching for the bait,
but with no show of ever rolling that deli
cate morsel under their parching tongues.
Senator Pierce has unreservedly been our
first choice, but as Fate is about to decree
otherwise, We can not but join in the grand
huzza for the next best mantle gallant
Col. Lounsberry. The fight, however, may
become so bitter that none of the gentle
men mentioned will win, and "dark
horse" run in that may knock the persim-
mons, and in that event We can only hope
that, whoever he may be, he will prove
worthy of the place.

Mrs. j. R. Cook came down from Berth
old last Monday enroute for Bismarck,
whittier she was going for the purpose of
having another surgical operation per-
formed on her feet. Mrs. Cook will be re-
membered as the lady school teacher of
Mercer county who was caught in that ter
rible blizzard of three years ago, and laid
buried in a snow drift from Thursday un-
til the following Saturday morning, when
she succeeded in digging her way out by
the aid of her rubber shoe. Her feet were
frozen solid, but she managed to walk to
her boarding house, about mile distant.
She was taken to Bismarck and placed in
the Lamborn hospital, where, under skillful
treatment, though long suffering, she re-
covered with the loss of only portion of
either foot.

The great Harvester Combine has col
lapsed. Ssveraa:re asons aregiven by those
interested in the proposed "trust," one OF
which is that some of the companies would
not consent to all of the arrangements
proposed for the combine. Mccormick,
the grand sachem of this gigantic scheme,
however, says that after careful and thor
ough investigation by some of the ablest
lawyers in the country it was discovered
there existed strong legal barriers, which
preclude the possibility of such combi-
nation, and therefore the matter has been
dropped. The great secret, however, lies
in another fact. The several harvester
companies hold notes aggregating about
three million dollars ($3,OOO,OO0) against
the farmers of the northwest who have
purchased the; saechissessi:: At the time OF
purchase the companies agreed to furnish
all repairs, or extras, free of charge, but
when tho Harvester Trust was formed the
announcement was made that all extras
must be paid for. This was violation of
the contracts between the several compa-
nies and the farmers who had bought their
machines, and thereupon the farmers an
nounced their intention to refuse payment
of their notes. This, in fact, was the seri-
ous illegal barrier"-the nigger in the
d-pile-that prevented the completion
of the Combine" Three million dollars
was too good thing for them to let slip
just now, and for that reason-and that
reason alone-the consummation of the
.'trust" has been postponed.

The P]aindealer of Grand Forks has
been combing down the wrong way of
the grain" on Bro. Copeland of the Wash
burn LEADER because Dick can'tsee things
from his standpoint on the slope with the
roseate hue that tinges them when viewed
from the city on the lower Red. Cope you
are away off when you remark that North
Dakota "has produced nothing of special
interest, has no factories, etc." Why the
crop of politicians Ito say nothing of the
incipient statesmen) that has sprung up
within our borders can't be beat in Amer
lea or elsewhere. Come down, Bro. Cope
land, before the Swearing train" leaves
and We are quite sure you will be only too
willing to ocompromiss with the Plaindealer
if you do not feel like surrendering at dis
cretion.-Bismarck Settler.

Minneapolis Tribune: Gov. Burke, of
North Dakota, hits the nail squarely upon
the head when he said in his message to
the Legislatures: II cannot refrain from
reminding you that the quality and oharac-
may consider or enact, will be the criterion
by which the people will determine our
fitness to legislate for them, and that the
best interests of our young commonwealth
demand an economical and judicious ad-
ministration of its affairs; yet public in
terests demanding financial assistance
should receive from us discreet considera-
tion." That paragraph is pretty COM
plete message in itself.

Sheriff Fitzgerald went to Bismarck
Wednesday, where he will make return to
the court of the writ of mandamus he
served Monday on G. F. Huston, Anton
Peterson, Lange and Haugeberg. These
gentlemen(s have taken it into their heads
that they own the people of Mclean coun-
ty instead of their being servants of the
people, and they propose "to show cause
why" they don't canvass the votes cast in
commissioner districts Nos. and for
Allen and Bettendorf respectively. Messrs.
Lange and Haugeberg went to Bismarck
on Thursday mornings stage, and were
followed later by Huston and Peterson.
The hearing is to take place before Judge
Winchester to-day.

School Reports.

There seems to be some misunderstand-
ing among the officers of the several school
districts in regard to the manner in which
they shall publish the itemized statement
of the receipts and expenditures. The
portion of the law referring to this subject
will be found in section 81 of the school
law, which says:
+ + At the annual meeting
of the school board on the second Tuesday
of January in each year, the school board
shall make settlement with the district
treasurer. who shall at that meeting make
his annual report in triplicate, one copy to
be preserved in the treasurer's Office, one
to be fled with the clerk of the school
board, and one to be transmitted to the
county superintendent, and the board shall
cause to be published an itemized state
nient Of the receipts and expenditures OF
the preceding year.
The above does not say that the state
ment shall be published in a newspaper,
neither is it intended to be construed that
way; but it means that the statement shall
be published by posting the same. In
every instance where the law requires any
notice to be made public bv publication
in newspaper it specifically says so, but
in this case it merely says "the board shall
cause to be published" ETC., without speci-
flying in what manner. Inasmuch as the
law does not authorize the publication of
said statement in newspaper, the post
ing of it on the schoolhouse door, etc.,
(Which should be done by the school clerk,)
is a sufficient publication. Under the fin
ancial stringency which every school town
ship in Mclean county is laboriug, it is
the duty of school officers to use every
precaution against e1travagance, and keep
their incidental expenditures dowp to the
lowest notch.

Bismarck Tribune: Ole Axvig of Cava-
lier is happy. His resolution endorsing
Hansbrough's 100000 seed wheat pro-
position was cuncurried in by the senate,
with the amendment that the help asked
should be for the whole state instead of
for all that portion outside of the Red
River valley. It is said that Mr.. Axvig,
when congratulated by Mr.. Hansbrough,
said: II tank you, but didn't do 'em for
YOU" and when told by Senator Pierce che
would see him again." said, II tink So
You probably won't leave the state, will
yous" Ole is a practical joker and other
senatorial candidates had better profit by
the experience of Messrs. Hansbrough and
Pierce and let the gentleman from Cavalier
have the right-of-way when they meet
him.

Towner News & Stockman: Farmers in
the east would hardly believe that cattle
sheep and horses could pick their living
on the prairies of northern North Dakota
for nearly the whole year around, but such
is the case. While the farmers in the east
ern and central states have been at work all
summer preparing food for their stock for
seven or eight months winter, the stock
raiser of North Dakota has been taking
his ease. He only has to prepare fodder
for his stock at the longest not longer
than three months.

The Fargo Argus publishes rumor that
j. j. Hill, of the Great Northern, who
owns large block of Argus stock, has
pulled Hansbrough out of the senatorial
race and is going to give him the editor
ship of the Argus.-Jamestown Capital.
When Jim Hill lifts Major Edwards out
of the editorial chair of the Argus he will
have to use more powerful derrick than
he did while building the Great Northern
across the state. Hill tried to knock the
major out once, but his bottom gave out
and the major still fills the seat.

In the Bismarck correspondence of the
Fargo Argus we find the following: "The
new board of railroad commissioners is com
posed of Messrs. Walsh, slotten and Har-
mon, and they seem to be taking hold of
their work as if they were determined that
the people should receive some benefit for
their being in Office. Monday they will 60
to Ward county to investigate Colton's
request of the Great Northern for side
track to his mines. It is claimed that the
Great Northern is raising technical objec-
tions to this sidetrack, because they are
now selling coal from their own mines in
the San Coulie country in Montana, five
hundred miles west of Colton's mines, and
if he had proper facilities for marketing
his coal it would interfere with their own
fS0si1iess. - 'is'7s-2
