Three New Towns Plated for the Lakota
Extension of the Ct. Northern.

Since its last issue the DEMOCRAT has
learned considerable regarding the Great
Northern's proposed new branch lin g
from Lakota northward that comes from a
source which can be taken as reliable.
The informant being III close touch with
the roads management and directly
interested in the three new townsites
elong the extension. The road is to be
built next year and work will begin as
early in the summer as practicable. For
the first year at least, the road will be
extended only as far north as Town 158,
Range 62, leaving the terminal point
three or four miles south of the bound
ary line of Ramsey and Cavalier counties.
The distance from Lakota, where the
extension leaves the main line of the Ct.
Northern to it's terminus, for the time
being, will be nearly 40 miles, the survey
taking an angling line northwest. The
sites have been plated this summer for
three new towns that will he built along
the road, the first twelve miles north of
Lakota the other two being located with
about the same distance intervening.
f. III. Stoltz, who has lumber yards
established at dozen or more different
points on the ct. Northern roads is
interested in all three OF the townsites
on the new extension and when here
last week obtained the figures of local
contractors for the erection of Offices and
warehouses at these points for new
lumber yards that will be put in.

A Farmers Wife Bravely Protects
Herself From Assault.
SAVED FROM A BRUTE.
A Travelling Tree Peddler Gets Off
With a Fifteen Day Jail Sentence
As Evidence Was Lacking Show
ing the Intent of His Crime
Uses Religion as a Cloak and is a
Bad Egg.

Nepthali Tracy, a tree peddler who has
been taking orders for the Hawks
Nursery Co., in Langdon and the sur
rounding country for the past six weeks
was arrested and placed in the county
Jail at late hour Saturday night on u
charge of assault and battery. Mrs. j.
Bradley, wife of a prominent farmer
east of town. was the complaining wit
ness and the assault alleged was CON-
mitted on the afternoon of July Goth. the
day following that on which the circus
was in Langdon.
The story of the complaining wi itness,
Mrs. Bradley, told in straight forward,
modest way, which even the cross OK
animation OF the defendants counsel,
Attorney Monnet, was unable to break
down evoked sympathy for her and
strengthened the feeling ofcontempt Of all
in the court room against the defendant,
whose guilt all felt assured of from the
first. The evidence of Mrs. Bradley
showed that Tracy came to- the house be-
tween three Or four O'Clock in the after
noon, she being a.one with the children
and busy ironing. Almost Immediately
after entering the house the attempt at
assault was made Tracy approaching
Mre. Bradley under the pretense of
showing her illustrations of flowers in
his catalogue. As soon as he was able
to draw close enough he caught her ..by
the arm and shoulder and in the struggle
that ensued her dress was torn from the
neck to the waist band. She had the
youngest child in her arms at the time
and on getting away crossed the room
and placed it in the cradle. The
defendant closed the door. fearing the
cries of An older boy, five years would
attract the neighbors and told her she
would have to stand her ground. intimat-
ing that he knew she was alone having
learned from neighbor that her hus-
band was several miles away doing some
breaking. Never losing her presence of
mind for a minute Mrs. Bradley ma
neuvered around until getting the table
between her and her captor, then quickly
springing to chair she managed to get
hold of rifle that hung over the bed
room door. Pointing the muzzle at
Tracy and telling him to go or she would
blow out his brains the lone woman put
to fight her assailant who lost no time
in getting out of range of the gun.
When put on the stand ip his own de-
tense Tracy admitted going to Brsdley's
home, but swore that all the complaining
witness said as to his attempting an
assault was false. He adroitly avoided
direct questioning on the part of the
state when an evasive reply was at all
possible. In fact was so foxy as to
generally impress the court and all pre-
sent as being capable Of conducting his
own defence. The hearing of the case,
which occurred Monday before Justice
Farrell took up part of the afternoon and
the entire evening. The court at the

B|CCER Than U. 5.
The Standard Oil Co., Reinvests
$50, 1000 Yearly.
1T is A FEARFUL MENACE.
In Four Years the Trusts Holdings
Of Paying Property Increased
$4,000 Per Cent.

The Standard Oil company was or
ganized in 1870 with capital of 1,0O0,-
600. It has just distributed a quarterly
dividend in cash and scrip of s23 3,000-
600. But even if we admit that the last
dividend is exceptional the actual re-
turns for nine months show that the
Standard Oil profits for the current fiscal
year can hardly fall below 100000, 900.
There was dividend three months ago
of $1O,OOO,00O and one three months be-
fore that Of SO 100000.
The United States government was
organized under the constitution in 1898.
Its total gross ircome-not profts-was
less than S52,0O0,0O0 as late as 1862, when
it was 73 years old. The net profits of
the Standard Oil company are greater
now than the gross income OF the United
States government was at more than
twice its age.
In the four years 1896, 1897, 1898 and
1899 the profits of the Standard Oil
company amounted to 1926, 100000. In
the same four years the income of the
United States government ran behind
it's expenses to the amount of $17O, 414, :
3O7.27. Is not Mr.. Rockefeller already a
'bigger man" than Old Uncle Sam?
The Standard Oil company, which 30
years ago was worth $1,OO0,000 at the
outside, is worth now, on the basis of the
market quotations, about s55,OOO, 600. an
increase Of $1,000 per cent. Az an in
come producing property it is worth
twice that.
In tho same length of time the aggre-
gate wealth of the United States has in
creased from S3O,O68, ,5l8,5O7 to about
800 900, ,OOO,O or about 23O per cent.
How long will it take for 5000 per
cent to Owe oyertake S3o per cent? Work
out the problem and you will know how
soon Mr.. Rockefeller apd his partners
will own the United States.
You will not put the date quite early
enough, however. for these figures do
not show the fnll extent of the growth OF
the Rockefeller monopoly. In the first
place, the Standard OIL company is
making money faster than it ever did be-
fore. It is going ahead with accelerated
velocity. In the next place, the oil
business Is altogether to small to furnish
opportunities for the Investment OF all
the wealth that is pouring in, upon the
magnates Of the Rockefeller group.
They are reaching out for the control OF
every branch Of industry. They employ
$4,000 men in Standard Oil alone-a
lerger army than the United States had
before the war with Spain but that is
only Q detail.
They own the greatest iron mines in
tho world, carry their ore 10 the lakes on
their own railroad, and thence to market
on their own steamers. They have
enormous Aests IL freighters on lakes
and ocean. They are heavily interested
