Next comes Memorial Day. which it is
encouraging to note the people OF Lang
don and vicinit. observe with greater
patriotic feeling each succeeding year.
Citizenship. the country and the flag are
thoughts that should inspire young and
old alike to the duty that We owe by
setting apart the thirtiath of May, to
decorate the graves of those vino died
for their country and to entertain those
of the old veterans still left in our midst.
1t is not likely that Langdon will enter
tain any great naval or military hero on
Memorial Day but the old veterans and
the younger ones of the Spanish -Ameri-
can war are with us and the memory of
their deeds should be kept green with
Old Glory given the center Of the stage.

RIDICULOUS as it may appear Grand
Forks commission firms are shipping
potatoes to Milton merchants, the latter
in turn selling them to farmers. who
during the winter were placing potatoes
on the local market. The idea of the

ting down to meal and eating potatoes

President Roosevelt says the Monroe
doctrine '.is not international law" and
that it is only good las long as we have
the will and the power to enforce it. :
We have always had the will. and up to
date European nations have seemed to
concede our power. European nations
admitted the riglltfnlness Of the Monroe
doctrine when they accepted its exclu-
sion from matters to be tried by The
Hague tribunal. Tho Monroe doctrine
is as much International law as anything
can be. The president will have to look
for better reason fvr taxing the people

ment With Chicago & Bingham.


President A l. Jacobs OF the Ben But
Ter company yesterday issued a statement
TO the shareholders setting forth the
terms under which it is proposed TO con-
sOlidate with the Chicago & Bingham
company at the meeting to be held on the
10th day of next month. As the terms
agreed upon have only been touched upon
heretofore, the mining fraternity VIII
read them with interest. They are as
follows:
That said corporntiOn shall CONSOLE
date under the laws of the state of Utah,
under the corporate name and style Of the
Butler-Liberal Consolidated Mining com
pany-
THAT the board of directors OF said
consolidated mining company shall con-
sist of seven members of which the Ben
Butler Mining & Milling company shall
Chicago & Bingham Mining company
shall elect two members.
That the Ben Butler Mining & Milling
company shall name and elect all of the
other officers of said corporation. except
the vice president who shall be named
Dy the stockholders OF the chicago d

stood and agreed by both companies that
w s. Mccormick shall be named and
elected as treasurer Of the consolidated
company
That the capitalization of said consoli-
dated company shan be 600, divided
into 10000 shares of the par value of 81

stockholders of the Ben Butler Mining &
Milling company shall receive 3l5,0OO
shares, and the stockholders Of the Chi
acog < Bingham company shall receive OF
said capital stock 1250O0 shares"
1t is the unanimous opinion of the Of
ficers OF the company and its attorneys
that consolidation is the cheapest, best
and quickest way to settle the differences
which have brought about the pending
litigation relative 10 the ownership of Ger
tain ore bodies, and there seems to be
no doubt that the proposition viii be
gladly ratified by the stockholders of
both corporations BY the terms pro-
posed it Will be seen that the holders of
