VALUE OF TRUE LOVE
It's Hard Thing to Estimate It in
Dollars and Cents.
Seems to Vary in Price from Thirty
Cents TO Life Itself-s Few
Cases Illustrating the
Fluctuations.

No one has yet lived who was able
TO place a true value upon love. At
tempts along this line have been made
IN the courts by men and women seek
ing redress for the alienation Of af-
fection, but they usually grow fcti-
titus in their estimates and seldom
hare the satisfaction of seeing their
calculations borne out by the votes
OF y jurors. The tendency inI such
litigation is to rate love at a figure
considerably higher than facts viii
substantlate, and. a might be ex-
pected, values vary according 10 the
conditions attaching to each individual
case.
There IS, however, in Indiana a man
who has satisfied himself on this ques-

made up his mind now much his wife
was worth 10 him and without at
tempting to fix d standard for the
guidance of other husbands put a
value on her and placed her on the
market. She was sold. Mr. Tallerday
may have been influenced by the fact
that he needed the money. but this
condition does not enter into the gen
eral proposition Of the value of wife,
because when a man is within a few
cents of absolute bankruptcy he is apt
TO realize all he can on whatever he
has to sell. Talerday's available
assets were one wife, so when ne

DECISION.

Grand Forks Herald: An important
decision was handed down yesterday
morning by Judge Fisk and one which
is far reaching in its effects. The de-
cision, briefly stated declares that it
is illegal under the statutes Of this
state to sell even soft drinks" Tame
Moose" or any connection which con-
tains the smallest amount of alcohol.
1t has been contended in the past that
where the drink contains less than
three per cent alcohol the state law
is not operative. States Attorney
Wineman, however, took the opposite
view, contending that where the small
est quantity of alcohol was found the
article could not be sold without in
fringing on the law. The point has
eve been fully argued on this and
consequently a decision had not been
rendered.
In the blind pig case of Abe Rey-
nolds, John Killer and James Burns,
which came to this court from Gllby,
States Attorney Wineman raised this
point, and it was recently argued from
every point of view before the court.
In these cases the defense maintained
that the Tame Moose which the de-
PENDANTS were charged with selling.
contained less than three per cent OF
alcohol there was no infraction of the
law. In rendering his decision Judge
Fisk reviewed the case carefully, and
in his conclusions of law and findings
of fact. sustained every point claimed
by Mr.. Wineman. The decision moi
only affects blind piggers. but will be
a precedent which other courts in al
parts of the state will be able to work
under.

RANGE CATTLE BRING HIGH
PRICE.

Decidedly the most important sale
of cattle in some time wa that made
by Clay. Robinson & Co. at Chicago
on Wednesday. July 30--33S head of
1.362 pounds range raised and strictly
grass fed steers for the Bloom Cattle
Co, Malta, Mont, at the remarkable
figure of So. 80 per 100 pounds. the
highest W paid for straight range
cattle on any market. The price is
40c higher than the Keeline Wyomings
realized on July 2 !, and that much
above the previous record price of 1882.
Needless to say the sale excited much
comment and the cattle attracted
plenty Of attention. The price is
S1.15 above last seasons top-S5.75-
which was also secured by the above
mentioned firm.

Consistent with his conservative con-
victions on all measures bearing on the
business and financial affairs of the
state and in line with his belief in the
ability of the legislature to deal with
the problem of rates and the super
vision and regulation of railroads in
consonance with his confidence in the
capability of our own people to combat
and destroy unjust discrimination and
unwise and unlawful combinations
leading 20 oppression. fayoritism and
monopoly, Governor White has been
bold enough and possessed independ-
enc enough to keep out of all grand
stand plays calculated to excite the
people and burden the state with I'M
necessary expense-esDeeially in the
matter Of anti-merger demonstrations
which have SO thoroughly aroused the
people Of the northwest. In the mer-
ger controversy it very early trans
pired that instead of a mere conference
those who attended the Helena meet
ing would be expected to cooperate
with the well defined and emphatically
expressed views of the governor of
Minnesota or be misrepresented at
home. Manure de1iberation convinced
Governor WhitegIhat the participation
of North Dakotasan the Helena meet
ing promised little good. He took the
practical view that our people when
threatened with disaster or when their
rights and privileges were endangered
would be equal to the emergency. In
the opinion of Governor White the ap-
plication Of true craftsmanship to the
matter of revenue and taxation and
equitable assessment in this state is Oh
more Importance than a demonstration
against corporate interests. Thanks
to his conservatism are we largely in
debted for the states splendid financial
condition at this time. In the eve
tenor OF his course Governor White
has insisted and succeeded in securing
a gradual increase in the assessment
of railroads. He has not been un
reasonable but he has been firm. One
Thousand dollars a mile--a million and
a half increase in the valuation Of the
railroad properties of the state is OF
substantial benefit to the state. That

Washington, Aug. THE progress
in agriculture in the arid states and
territories during the decade ending
with 1899 is shown in the report just
published by the division of agriculture,
Of the twelfth census. AS this pro-
gress is attributable largely to irriga-

Of general interest.
The number of irrigators in the
United States in 1899, not including
~irrigators Of rice. was 10S,21S, an in
crease Of ten years of 1913 per cent.
The area irrigated was 7.j39,5 $40 acres,
an increase ofs 1915 per cent. OF
this area, 5.9Ii.412 acres were in crops,
and 1,595.133 acres in pasture and I'M
matured crops. The cost of irrigation
systems in operation, exclusive of those
on rice plantations, was $67. 770,942.
while the value of the irrigated crops
was $780, 91.
The total length of all the main
bitches in the arid and semi-arid
states and territories was H,149 miles.
The average number Of irrigated
acres in farms in arid states and terri
tories was II; the average value of
irrigated land per acre, $42.53; the
average value of crops produced on ir-
rigated land, S14. 81; the average first
cost of water, $3.50; the average an

with water from the streams. and 81
acres were irrigated from wells. In
1883, seven farmers reported an irri-

Shortly after sending the irrigation
bill to the president. congress passed
a resolution authorizing the director of
