HE Valley City lines Record says
that out of 1000 children of school aye
IN Barnes county, 1900 are of Scandina-
Wan parentage. This is a large percent
age-probably equal to that of Traill,
Walsh and Griggs counties, which have
been supposed to be the most densely
peopled with the sons of Norskland. The
Scandinavians are a sturdy people, pas
toral and agricultural in their molina
tions, and North Dakota is the place for
them. 1t is an element that has come to
stay and it is likely that during the next
ten years the Scandinavian population OF
North Dakota will be doubled and their
rapid increase will only be equalled by
their rapid advancement and prosperity.

plants against the transportation and ell
evator companies, Secretary Edgerley
that tine main and branch
lines Of the Northern Pacific road will be

be hoped that any and all persons who
think they have a grievance will be on
hand and present their case to the board,
which is anxious that any existing
troubles between the citizens and the

your station agent as to the exact time
they will be in each locality, and be on
hand promptly.

The supreme court of the United
States meets on Monday next. to an
nounce decisions, after which it will ad-
journ to the October term. More cases
have been disposed of during this term
than any other term in the history of the
court, the number already being 553, aud
the decisions to be handed down Monday
will probably increase this to 600. The
organization of the new intermediate ap-
pellate courts is expected to relieve the
supreme court of two-thirds of it's work
and thus allow it to reach cases pending
for several years.

HENRY CLEws & Cos financial review
for the week ending March 10Th SAYS:

S~AON WA
The marked intrinsic buoyancy of the
stock market continues to be held in check
~ the large special exports of specie; and
Aence 1t becomes important to understand
the causes and the probable duration of
the gold out flow and the bearing it should
legltlmately have upon confidence and the
course Of the local money market. Prim-
arlly, the exports seem to have arisen
from the urgencies of Russian finance.
The Car has for some time sought to effect
a large loan, first to provide for The pay
ment OF maturing loans, next to construct
extensive lines of railroads, and also to en-
able him to construct immense military
WORKS in menace OF Germany and Austria.
The RothSchlldS lately undertook the
negotiations; but, partly on account of the
Cars hot prosecution OF the Jews and
partly it is supposed because there was
good reason 10 suspect that the loan was
also intended for contemplated early hos
Titles against the triple alliance, the great
banking house withdrew from the trans

OF the Gar; and weather in revenge or
from financial necessity does not exactly
Apprenticeship has since been drawing
heavily upon the 100 to 1926 million dollars
of deposits which. somewhat inexplicaDly,
great banks and bankers of Europe. The
consequent large and sudden drain
upon the European stocks of gold,
coming close upon the deep disturbance
Of confidence arising from the financial
complications of South America. has
caused continental banks to recOup them
selves for the loss by getting gold from ev-
cry possible source; and naturally the
drain has been especially directed towards
the United States. Whilst this uncertain
ty prevails, we must stand exposed to a
continuance of the demand ON New York
for gold; and Thursdays significanta ad-
vance of the bank of England's rate of dis
count from 4 to 5 per cent. was made with
that end in view. 1t is not easy to deter
NINE what may be the present ability of
Europe to draw upon this country. The
recent large exports of gold have been due
not only to our heavy maturing Obliga-
tons, on account of special impOrtatiOns
made in anticipation of the operation OF
the new tariff duties, but also to the remit
lance of foreign bank balances resting here
for employment. How lar the latter re-
turf against cash remittances may have
been already diminished. it is impossible
to estimate; but even had it been exhausted
(which is not SuppOSable), there would
still remain ways in which Europe could
get gold from us through borrowing here,
were the pressure urgent enough to Justify
the cast of such operations. At the mo.
ment, however, the symptoms indicate that
Russia has probably satisfied at least her
immediate requirements for gold, and the
tone at the foreign financial centers shows
a more settled feeling; so that the hope is
permissible that We may nave now seen
the worst OF the international financial cri-
Sis.

The Jackson-Corbett Fight.

SAN Francisco, May 20.-Every prep
aration has been made for the battle of
the heavyweights Jim Corbett and Peter
jackson. The fight will occur in
the gymnasium of the G alifornia Athletic
club Thursday evening. Both men
have trained hard and carefully and
are pronounced in frst-class condition.
jackson sprained his ankle by being
thrown from a carriage some time ago.
His ankle is still swollen slightly and an
electric battery is being applied to the
wound, but as Jackson walks without
difficulty, he anticipates his ankle will
give him no trouble on the night of the
contest. Jaokson's present weight is
given as 1877 pounds and Corbett rs 1877
pounds. The men will doubtless enter
the ring close to these figures. The
battle is for a purse Of $4,000, $500
of which goes to the loser. The affair
is creating a wonderful degree Of interest
here and 8 number of well known SPORT
ing men from various parts of the
country are arriving here daily to wit
ness the contest.
There are open hostilities between
whitecaps and citizens near Dncktoown,

MAN named Paine. LIVING in Mel,

A MAN named Paine, living in McIn-
tosh county, took it upon himself to go
down to Chicago and solicit aid for al
legged drouth sufferers in his district.
Among other things given him was $1,000
in money, raised by some means or other
in Chicago. Paine refused to turn the
money over to the county commissioners
for distribution, but insisted on perform
ing this work himself, %whereupon the
commissioners have had Paine arrested
for embezzlement. If Paine has the
money, and al show it was given him
for distribution without instructions to
turn over to the commissioners, then he
has the best Of it. There is no Law, how
ever much it may be desired by q mis-
represented people, against the solicita-

HE supreme court of the United
States has shown that there is a way to
tax the various transportation companies
of the country, such as the Pullman car
company, the telegraph lines, express
routes, etc. North Dakota is like many
other states in this regard-been for
years trying to enact a constitutional
requirement for a revenue system that
would be successful in making these
wealthy institutions pay their proper
ton of the public burden, the same as
a common citizen. So far every effort
has been abortive and the corporations
politely but firmly inform the taxing
Ulcers of the state to go hence, or words
to that effect. The present statutes of
the state. provide for a license of 800 on
each sleeping car and that express COM
panies pay a certain sum for every Office
opened by them. The federal supreme
court lhas inyariable decided that such
were restrictions on interstate commerce,
and hence null and void. But now
comes a decision on the validity of the
law of Pennsylvania that would seem to
ooint out the way of salvation. This
case was whether the state law of Penn
~sylvania was good, which provides that
the Pullman company could be taxed on
their capital stock in proportion as the
mileage of Pennsylvania was to the to-
tai mileage covered by the company.
The court of highest resort says it is;
that it is not against interstate COM
merce, but an equitable method of max
ing the Pullmans pay their proportion
of taxes. We predict that the next leg
islature will take this matter up and
enact a similar statute. Exacting as the
Pullman company does, the highest
rates for service in the country, those
travellers who have groaned under the
outrageous charges for SO long will
gladly hail the chance to see them reim-
burse the state somewhat for the dollars
they have dragged out Of its citizens.

AS IT turns out not a single place in
the state has taken advantage of the
wool market law enacted last winter.
Bismarck, Jamestown, Lisbon, Bathgate
all have wisely concluded that they
could not run the risk of loss by fire,
theft, ETC., as the attorney-general said
they must. 1t is to be regretted that
such a construction had to be placed on
the enactment by the states legal ad-
wiser, but, as his opinion does not seem
to be questioned by attorneys, it must be
the right Interpretation. Probably the
next legislature can remedy the trouble.

breath.
voices

spectators held their breath.
Then thirty thousand voices
mingled in one long shout. Barnes rea-
liked the critical moment had come.
Three-sixteenths from the finish Barnes
went to whip and for "a fraction Of a
second the fevorites faltered. A cry, and
a despairing one it was, went up, "Tenny
is beaten" It did look like it, but the
game little sway back responded nobly
and with heaving sides and distended
n~ostrils he came on like a piece of me-
chanism, rapidly ~devouripg ground at
every stride. The race was not his yet,
however, for Garrison was working like
a demon N Prince Royal fairly lifting
him over the ground and Tea Tray was
rapidly moving up from the real. The
excitement was intense. Hats, bonnets,
handkerchiefs, umbrellas and parasols
were thrown into the air. and cries Of
"Tenny, Tenny," "Prince Royal WINS"
"come Oh Tea Tray" were heard on all
sides. 1t was a grand struggle, but
Jenny held his antagonists safe, and.
bounding like an India rubber ball passed
the finish two good lengths in front of
Prince Royal, who beat Tea Tray a short
head for second money. 81
Agrin of delight spread all over the
face'of Pikey Barnes as he glanced back
over his shoulder and realized that the
race was o The time, 2:1O, was
nothing out of the common, but it was a
grand race, and men, women and chill
dren, perfect strangers to each other,
shook hands and swore there was
nothing in the world to compare to a
first-class horse race. Barnes, who rode
the winner, was placed in a floral horse
shoe after he had weighed out and was
carried to the dressing room. He has
won the futurity, Junior champion and
Brooklyn, and says his ambition is now
to ride the winner of the suburban.

In t%erritorial days it was customary
for the territorial officers to allow counties
such ATTACHMENTS, refundments and can~
collation. of taxes as the various boards
of county commissioner saw fit to allow.
There was no law for it, simply a time
honored precedent. The present admin
istration will not accept this territorial
inheritance, and the auditor has issued
a circular to county auditors calling
their attention to a recent opinion of the
attorney general On the subject, in which
he says that county commissioners have
no authority in law whatever to abate,
cancel or refund a tax when once levied.
Their only authority or control over the
assessment Or collection of taxes is that
when sitting as a board of equalization
they may correct the assessment. When
their duties as such board have been
completed and the assessment rolls
placed in the hands of the county audi
tor and the taxes levied and extended,
there is no power to stay the collection
of such taxes, penalties and interest ex-
cept in a court Of competent jurisdiction.
The only ATTACHMENTS or cancellations
that will be allowed on taxes levied for
1890 or subsequent years, will be those
ordered by the court or under the pro-
visions of section Sc, chapter 1872 of the
laws of 1890. The state auditor also
holds that 5000 exemption, provided in
the 18th subdivision of the 1891 amend
ment to section 5 of the laws of 1890 will
be operative this year-after July LIST,
and the 5000 mentioned will be exempt,
