sewer and not interfere with private con-
sumers. So that it can readily be seen
that the sewer can be easily flushed at
all times without Inconvenience, but also
the territory tributary to the sewer can
be drained during the heaviest rain.
If it is desired to extend the sewer
north and flow into the river at the north
end of Fifth avenue it would drain all
the territory north of the railroad track.
Again the dam by the mill site is an ad-
ditlonal advantage to free the river from
impurities. By allowing the river to fill
up and then opening the gates a strong
current is created which would effectually
clear the river OF all foreign substances.
This same principle is made use of IN
larger cities. In short, with the artesian
we'll, we have the best possible facilities
for perfect sewerage system.
Respectfully submitted,
T. F. BRANCH, Civil Engineer.

One of the Cleyerest.

Mr.. G. r. Lewis, the clever missionary
for the Milwaukee road, showed his
cheerful v1sage aroand the city Thurs
day shedding life and good cheer along
the way wherever he drifted. As the
time rolls around when people in North
Dakota intend taking little eastern
trip, the acquaintances of their railroad
friends Will be revived and the question of
(which road shall I take" answered, nine
times olt Of ten by recollections of the
travelling passenger man whose mission
on earth is one Of good will toward men
and an intense anxiety to put in on to
his rival corporation. Among all the
smooth roads and smooth passenger ad-
vocates thereof none exceed the Milwau-

An InuuisitOrial Statute.

Mandan Times: One Standish, assist
ant attorney general for Ramsey and Mel
son counties, has issued a manifesto ask
ing any man, woman or child in those
counties who may see drunken person
or smell liquor on anyone's breath to just
drop HIM (Standlsh) a line. He promises
to conceal the name Of his informant and
says: II can put the person who was in
toxicated under oath and MAKE him
answer my questions or jail him."
If Standish has started out with the
deliberate intention of making the prohi-
bition law odious in the eyes of every
fair-minded person he has taken the
right course. The law gives him the pow
er to do as he says. At one time in
Venice all man had to do to get rid of
an enemy was to slip letter into the
Lions Mouth, accusing him OF treason
and the secret council would, without
further evidence, send him over the
Bridge of Sighs to dungeon. 1t seems
strange to see this custom transferred to
North Dakota in this the latter part Of
the nineteenth century, but the law al
lows it. Any person in Ramsey or Mel
son county who has an enemy can get
even with him by attorney Standish's
help. The darkest days OF the Spanish
Inquisition knew 10 more unjust laws

Hon. E. NJ. Paulson of Mayville, was
