THE PARTY NAME GOES.

Opinion that the Prohibitionists can
Have that Name on Tickets.
Griffin & Co. Of this city have received
the following letter from Attorney Gen.
eral Spencer. in reply to their inquiry
relative to the proper construction of the
Australian ballot law:
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE, }
Bismarck, March 30, 1892.
Dear Sirs-In answer to your letter OF
inquiry Of February 18th, relative to the
construction Of sections 2-5-17, of the
Australian election law, will say, that
spent considerable time looking this mat
ter up, and have finally arrived at con
cluslon which may or may not meet your
approval.
Your conclusion relative to sections
2 and 5 are, IN my judgment, correct.
Relative to section II, I am of the opin-
ion that under said section the only
party entitled to have its name at the
head of the ticket, or parties rather. are
those which polled at least five per cent.
OF the entire vote OF the state at the last
election. Last election there were three
recognized parties in the feld-republi-
can, democrat and inaependent-hence
under said section only said parties can
appear at the head of the ticket as
separate and distinct parties. It is i'm.
material under said section what the
platforms OF these respective parties
were, or what principles were LAID down
and advocated therein, the name adopted
by the party governs.
Now, while the law prohibits party
being represented at the head of the
ticket,which did not poll per cent of the
entire vote of the state, it does not by any
means prohibit the nominees of any con-
vention. under any name which they see
fit to assume, being named or the ticket.
with the designation following the nayne
of each nominee Of the party or princi-
pie which they advocate. For example
suppose the prohibition party holds
convention and nominates a full state
ticket, certifes the same to the secretary
OF state as provided by law, every person
so nominated and certified can be voted
for and his name will be placed on the
ticket with the words prohibition
party" following each name, or any
other title which the party may adopt,
the only thing IN which said party is not
the same as the parties before referred
to is, that the name OF the party, ''prohi-
bltion party" cannot appear at the head
Of the ticket.
I don't see the object of the restriction,
CT what is gained by it, but it is there IN
the law and must be followed until
changed. Trusting that l have made
this matter clear, remain respectfully,
"A. NJ. SPENCER,
Attorney General.

Railroad Rumblings.

The Valley City Times Record has
issued map of the 500 road in Barnes
county. The extension northwest of Val
ley City crosses the Northern Pacific
about one mile south of Odell The sta
tions on the road already constructed are
about six miles apart.
Delegates Fitzgerald, Hatton and Mel
son left yesterday to attend the national
railway employees convention, which
meets in Omaha the 18th. They represent
the jamestown railroad club, and will be
joined by three other delegates from the
various clubs in the state.
Engineer William Hughes expects to
leave for the east this evening, accompa-
MED by his mother, on an extended visit
to their old home in Ohio. "Billy" is
one OF the most popular of the railroad
employees, and his associates wish him a
pleasant vacation. Mrs. Hughes will
not return to North Dakota.
Tribune: Some moons ago there was
rumor afloat in the air that somebody
had heard that somebody had said that
Superintendent McCabe was of the opin-
ion that there was possibility o: the
Northern Pacific erecting new depot in
Bismarck this summer Who knoweth
anything more?
The national organization OF the Rail
way Employees club convened in annual
session at Omaha Tuesday for the
election of officers and the transaction
OF such other business as may come
before the allied clubs of five states.
This is the first annual meeting of the
organization and on the results of it's
deliberations depends in large measure
the future of the order. Delegates are
present from Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska,
North Dakota and Kansas, which at
present are the only five states repre-
sented in the organization. The chances
are that at the Omaha meeting an
attempt will be made to enroll all OF the
western and northwestern states under
the club banner, and place the organiza-
ton on such foundation that it will
have something to say in shaping the
destinies of this section Of the country.
One of the railroad boys was making
big kick after the fire yesterday, at what
he termed the indifference and impert1-
nence of several we'll known property
owners, who coolly watched half dozen
men tugglng at the hose cart and offered
no assistance. The streets were lined
with able bodied men, all going to the
fire, but few we're sufficiently interested
to help put it ont, and some went so far
as 10 Josh" the fremen about their
''speed." When the alarm sounded, few
members Of the company we're near the
Northern Pacific hose house, but several
men at work in the yards-not members
of the department-helped to get the
reel out and down to the Pacific avenue
hydrant. It ives one of these men who
was kicking last night. and he said if The
action OF the kid glove gentry yesterday
was fair sample Of what could be ex-
pected in the future, he could see the
town burn down with eminent satisfac-
ton.

new MILLAT WEST SUPERIOR.
The Russell-Miller Milling Co.
Propose to Build at
That Point.
jamestown People Expected
to Take Stock in the
Enterprise.

increasing trade, the Russell Miller Mill.
ing company have decided to build a
mill of 300 barrels q day capacity at
West Superior and for this purpose will
increase their capital stock from 100000
to S35O,OOO. They have secured one OF
the finest improved sites on the bay,
with ample trackage facilities and 800
feet of deep water front, enabling them
to load and unload directly from the cars
or boats. They will put up mill, first
class in every respect, making one OF the
finest plants at the head Of the lake.
The present company will take about
s225.OOO of the stock leaving $125,OOO to
go outside, considerable of which will be
taken by some OF our own citizens. The
stock will all be subscribed for and
the contracts let before June
and the plant will be furnished and
ready to start September lst next. The
building will be built of brick and the
mill will be built by one of the large mill
building concerns, who make guarantee
as to cost, power and percentages.
The extensive acquaintance and close
business relations of the Russell Miller
Milling company with the farmers of
North Dakota, Will enable them to pur-
chase large quantities of wheat direct,
saving the terminal and middlemen's
charges. This, together with the ten
cents per barrel advantage, conceded by
Minneapolis millers to the head of the
lakes, on account of lake freight rates,
makes this project particularly prom1s-
ing.
The Russell Miller Milling company
have their brands established throughout
the East and Europe, are thor
oughly acquainted with the trade and
business IN every way, thus saving the
expense and delays in introducing new
product. The flour made from North
Dakota wheat has reputation and in
dividuality Of its own, and commands
outside prices throughout Europe and
GhO VI uAeCN OUbV0Ss dS Vuc xIuIOpcdu
agency OF the North Dakota Millers asso-
citation has so we'll proven. The lnten-
ton of the company is to grind only
North Dakota wheat and to lake advant-
age Of the increasing demand for strictly
North Dakota -four.
The reason why a large mill of this
kind can not be made to pay in this
state is the expense of manufacture. The
cost Of fuel. Of labor, transportation and
the difficulty Of getting constant
supply Of wheat works against the large
milling plants. 1t will prevent the build
ing of any large plants at present. at
least, in this state. The mills here,
could not make money without the local
trade, which takes the bulk Of what they
manufacture. The time may come, how
ever, when the conditions will be changed
and large milling plants established in
this state. The production of North Da-
kota Ignite fuel, at a price cheaper than
the eastern coal at the lake, will be the
first step in this direction.

The 500 Line Preparing for Work
in Good Earnest.
The 500 surveyors have located the
line of road at Darlington and it is said
the location is permanent. The farmers
and others in Foster county who desired
the line to take that direction have been
very liberal with right of way, giving the
necessary land in most all cases. 1t ia
evident that some powerful pull was
used, as the country around Darlington
Is not as good as further north, the New
Rockford line being considerably better
in that respect The Foster County In
dependent says the company will have
the road graded and iron laid this year
III time to haul olt next years crop.
Darlington almost feels as If there was a
boom coming.
Messrs. Soliday, Meacham, Derrick and
others are entitled to credit for their
activity and liberality in securing right
of way for the company, end in getting
the company to take the southern sur
vey instead of the one further north.
All along the line Of the proposed
road. land has risen in value within the
last few weeks. Land not salable two
years ago is finding bidders at good
prices. The Foster county farmers are
buying land quite generally. The por-
ton of Stutsman county traversed by
the road is one of the best agricultural
localities in the Jim river valley. and the
stiffening of farm land prices has been
seen there as we'll as elsewhere.

Editor Daily Alert: Will you permit
me a few words concerning an editorial
in your issue of May 14th referring to the
Methodist Episcopal church, OF which !
have the honor of being both member
and minister? was surprised at finding
such an editorial in your paper. 1t is
evident that you have been victim of
the error of some associated press re-
porter. Permit me to point out the state
ments in your editorial that are not facts;
then the public is welcome to believe all
the rest. In the first place you aay that
the present general conference is a
convention Of the Methodist Episcopal
clergy, while the fact is, it is composed
of both clergy and laymen. This state
has but one clergyman in the conference,
while along side him sits Frank J. Young,
an attorney Of Valley City. You make
your next mistake when you say that
they "have deliberately declined to re-
wise their church creed, or to touch one
of the old beloved beliefs Now the
fact is, not single member of the
Methodist Episcopal church has asked
that single article of our creed be
changed one iota. Further, our church
never has been asked to change an article
of its creed; and ask you to point to q
single influential member of our church
who has expressed himself as being
desirous of change. You seem to in
sinuate against oar church when you
say that we are avoiding "the example
Of other churches in this respect" In this
statement you unconsciously compliment
our church; for 1t is we'll known fact
that all the revising that has gone on in
other churches of late years has simply
brought them nearer our doctrinal posi-
tions; and still we are IN the lead. The
fact is, they are following our example,
and are getting unto themselves common
sense creeds. The creed of the Methodist
Episcopal church is one that is biblical,
true to human experience, and in har-
mony with all KNOWN scientific facts.
That it successfully appeals to both the
head and the heart is indicated by the
fact that on an average We build three
new churches every day in the year, and
by that other overwhelming fact that
during the last four years more than
100000 people have voluntarily united
themselves with it, and today we are the
largest voluntary Protestant church in
existence. The prospects are that the
next four years will add even more to our
membership.
But lastly, permit me to call your at
tention to the fact that your so-called
''new religion" is at least one thousand
years older than the Christian era. Every
person with the first elements Of college
education knows that your "new religion"
is simply the religion OF the old Greek
and Celtic mythologies. Your ancestors
and mine practioed it when they were in
state Of barbarism, but under the gra-
cious influences Of the Holy Spirit they
dropped the old to walk IN "better
way" J. do not believe the world intends
to return to those "weak and beggerly ele-
ments" again. Thankful for SO much OF
your space, 1 am, respectfully,
