and fines, as estimated by the auditor
and accepted by the county board-falls
nearly 5000 short of the estimate
drawn from the official expense account"
by the News and Times as "the yearly
expense ofprosecuting offenders" against
the prohibition law alone.
The fact is that at least a portion Of
the Democratic party, and some Repub-
licans for that matter, have started out
on new deal in the whisky business.
They have given up high license as a
lost cause; they know that North Dakota
will never again favor open saloons. But
by arguing the presence of blind pigs
and the immense cost of prosecution OF
the offenders on the one hand and the
big revenue to be derived by the state
going into the whisky business on its
own account on the other hand, to there
by switch off and break up the progress
of prohibition.
Now, we have not the figures at haud,
but judging from the experience of this
county, which is in all respects similar to
that of Walsh, the expenses of liquor
prosecutions, when balanced by fees and
costs paid by the defendants, the cost to
the taxpayers in either county has been
practically nothing, if, indeed, the cash
balance has not been in favor of the
county. Anyway, there has been some
thousands of dollars paid in fines and
costs in Walsh county which the "accur-
ate fgurer" OF the News and Times has
not included in its $4,000 estimate. In
Pembina county, by the forthcoming
auditors statement the yearly expenses
for the last year, for clerk of court,
states attorney sheriff and deputies,
district and justice courts, is about S.
200-against which there is credit Of
81 600 transferred from "liquor fund.-"
SPLITS fines and forfeitures collected.
81, 107.67 clerk of court fees, s3S2.66
from druggists permits, or total OF
81, 708.O8, making the net cost of all
court expenses paid by Pembina county
for the last year about 81, 500-while the
News and Times claims that in Walsh
county it costs $40, 900 per year to prose-
cute its liquor cases alone!
Taxes! Does any sensible taxpayer
believe that with from one to half-doz-
en- licensed saloons at every post-office
and village in the county, that $500
would pay the court expenses? ri
The difference is, that under license
law the state prosecutes, the customers;
under prohibition it prosecutes the SELL
ers. The cost to the taxpayers is ap-
proximate to the numbers in each class.
A saloon that don't furnish at least
half.dozen court cases per year, grading
in all degrees of crime, don't sell much
whisky.

and early settler.
Mr.. Cavileer occupied the position Of
collector four years, and then turned his
attention to trade. He had store for a
time at Walhalla, and also at Fort Garry

has since resided. In that year the first
postottice was started and Mr.. Cavileer
was appointed postmaster which Office
he held until 1885, when he was succeed.
ed by his son, E. K Cavi!eer, who is the
present postm ,stcr.
In addition to his official duties Mr..
Cavileer was also associated with Com.
modore Kittson and VIII. Forbes at one
time and with Messrs. Kittson, Culver
Harrington and Sargent in the fur trade
ior ttiaiiy years. These years were
doubtless the most exciting ones in life
replete with adventurous incident. It
was during this time that he made ree-
ular trips to St. Paul, with trains of from
~ to lW carts, These trips were long
and wearisonle and often dangerous from
bands ofroving Indians and slammed.
ing herds of buffalo.
In his earlier days Mr.. Cavileer was
a regular correspondent of the Smith
sonlan Institute of Washington, D. C.
His sketches of pioneer days and graphic
descriptions ofscenes and characters were
the delight of his friends and neighbors,
aud the old settlers generally. These
sketches, which have been mostly for
local papers and pioneer society meet
ings, are in the plain, blunt, straight
forward and to the point style ofthe west
ern plainsman but have deep under
current OF humor wholly his own.

The following short sketch IS intended

the Dakotas:
SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.
Mr.. Cavileer was born in Springfield,
Ohio, March 9Th, 1878, and was the son
Of Charles and Rachel (Trease) Cavileer,
natives of Maine and Pennsylvania. He
attended public schools until he was II
and then removed to Mount Carmel, ILL.,,
and learned the saddler's trade. He
came west, down the Ohio, via St. Louis,
then city of 5000, by steamboat, and
thence up the Mississippi to st. Paul,
landing there in May, 1841. The sue
ceeding year he went through the Mime
sofa wilderness to Fond du Lac. near the
present site of Duluth. st Paul at that
time was village with church and
few French people. At Minneapolis
government saw mill was operated by
soldiers from Fort Smelling. Mr.. Cavi-
leer opened the first harness shop in St.
Paul. A few years later he sold out and
in company with DR.. Dewey established
the first drug store.
Nov. 9th, 1849, Gov. Ramsey appointed
Mr.. Cavileer territorial librarian, which
position he held until October, 1850,
when he was appointed by President
Millard Fillmore as collector of customs
for the district of Minnesota andinspector
of revenue for the port of Pembina. In
.persuance of this appointment he came
to Pembina and crossed the Red River
on August 18th, 1851, SO that at the time
Of his death he had been here nearly 81
years, and over 81 years since he landed
at st. Paul.
I While the duties Of collecting revenue
atthat early period were not in them
selves very exacting, yet Mr.. rs position
was really far more than simple col-
Iector Of revenue. He was in fact sort
of general government agent among .
large population of .semi.nomadic half,
breeds and wandering Indian tribes
The feuds Of the rival fur companies and
private traders. the Sioux massacre and
subsequent events, the first Riel rebellion,
the political organization and the opening
up Of this valley to settlement and COM
.merce were all incidents of Mr.. Cavileerss|
