Auditor Porter: The governor re.
manned in Fargo where the hearing in
the agricultural board case was begun
to-day. 1 presume no final settlement
a be effected till the courts take Il
turn at it. The weather was pleasant in
the valley and seeding is we'll along.
A citizen: l think there should be
some way to relieve the county of the
expenses in such trivial criminal cases as
was tried Thursday. This is the second
one which has fallen through, and an en-
pense of two or three hundred dollars
saddled upon the taxpayers. It is not
right.
A telegram from Washington says
that James V. Brooke Of Grand Forks,
Senator Roach's private secretary, will
60 back to Grand Forks to practice law
with Burke Corbette. He will be sue
ceeded by Fred Mclean of Langdon, a
member Of the lower house Of the last
legislature.
Hon. Geo. Lutz got the contract for
furnishing the jamestown asylum with
1000 tons of Ignite coal at 1922 per ton,
He will furnish the coal from Dickinson.
The contract last year was for 1856 but
it was a losing deal. The Alert says the
electric light plant will use about 1000
tons and that Ignite is all right.
Being asked if he thought the 500
line would be lroned to Bismarck this
year (spare us), T. L. Hurd, r%ight.of-way
agent, tells the Fargo Republican that
he really doesn't know-which Is very
kind of Mr.. Hurd, for some r%ight-of-way
agents would have said yes and Bis.
marckers are not in the proper frame OF
mind just now for joking.
A subscription paper was circulated
Friday and signed by quite a number
of s%portsmen, for tie organization of a
gun club in the city. In former years
there was a deal of amusement derived
from the gun club practice and shoots,
and if the matter is properly pushed.
there is no reason why the sport should
not be renewed.
Senator Worst: Everything in EN-
mons county is all right. Crops are
looking fine. Yes, I had good luck with
my little band of sheep. From IT'S ewes
I had 1872 lambs. OF these 149 lived
which is 3 good percentage. Three were
killed by wolves. The Campbell boys
are also having excellent luck. They are
saving about rs per cent. Of the lambs.
The Mandan Pioneer seems to be
against the proposition to vote $4,000
bonds for the purpose of building a new
school building and by a mode of reason
ing, peculiar to the Pioneer, shows that
in case bonds are voted rents will go up
and taxes will be higher. That is a rea-
sonable proposition-similar to the
Kansas paper that predicted if there
was no rain there would be a drouth.
Frank Alvord has a surveying n
tract on the Great Northern west of
Minot. and Monday .sent three teams
with wagons heavily loaded overland to
Mlnot to begin work. MI. Alvord will
follow in a few days. He takes about q
dozen men with him, among them the
Glitschka boys and "Swede" johnson
goes along as cook. The party will live
high if they don't make a cent, says
johnson.
The boys belonging to the society for
the prevention of cruelty to animals,
thanks to the kind patience of Mrs.
Judge Bartholomew, made a very fine
appearance in the demonstration yester-
day, and as youth and old age marched
side by side one could but contrast the
elasticity of their step to the tottering
and uncertain gait of the old veterans
who staked their lives for their country
a quarter of a century ago.
County Treasurer Dunn: I have re-
SOA'Ou III uOClCo AIOm Iuo 6Ldto duOlCOr
regarding the time for attaching the 5
per cent. penalty on delinquent taxes.
It seems to me the law is plain on this
question. The penalty attaches June
LIST. The new law does not take effect
until July LIST so it cannot possibly
affect the taxes this year. What the
legislature intended and what it did are
very different propositions.
Winona Times: Fate seems to be
against the poor unfortunate boy-Willie
Carmichael. Shortly after being par
doned out Of the p%enitentiary last winter,
he began cutting cord wood for H. F.
Douglas, on the island north Of town,
where from the incidental clip of his
partners az he received q cut on the
knee which has necessitated the amputa-
ton of q limb close to the thigh. The
operation was performed last Friday.
For the adjourned February term Of
the United States court at Devils Lake,
M. E. Currie Of Dickinson, has been
drawn on the grand jury, and John
