THINKS HILL misunderstood,
Commercial West PAYS a Tribute to
the Great Railroad Builder and Or
ganizer.

ganzer
Commercial West: President Jas.
J. Hill gave an instructive address
at the North Dakota irrigation con-
vention held this week at Bismarck.
In connection with the tremendous
work that has been done by this man,
in which the people have participated,
it is interesting to note that in all
his career. and will all the tremen-
douS business interests to supervise
that come under his control he has al
ways had time to travel and to speak
to the people on subjects that have to
do with their welfare, and he has
never had a moment to give to any
idle entertainment.
The politician has taken delight for
many years in seeking election to Of
fee at the expense of Mr.. Hills rail
road interests, and the politician has
succeeded at times in forcing the peo-
pie to overlook the merit of the ques-
ton, but as the years go on without
the fulfillment of the monopolistic
prophecies made several years ago by
the politicians of Minnesota, and
which have continued up to the Van
SAINT administration, the people are
coming to see the real truth of the
railroad question. They are coming
to see, as Mr.. Hill said with emphasis
at Bismarck, that the relation between
the railroad and the people is mutual,
and the interests of the railroad can
not be advanced without advancing
the interests of the people, and the
| interests of the railroad cannot be op-
posed except as the people lose in
proportion, Mr.. Hill making reference
to the interests of the railroad in a
purely legitimate sense.
When the people look impartially on
! the wonderful work he has done, cul-
minating as it does today in the car
rying Of the products of the Northwest
at one-third the cost of twenty years
ago and compare this work with what
the politicians have done for Mime
sofa and the Northwest, it makes lis
turn in disgust from the cheap hypo-
crisies and the misleading war cries
of the politician. Mr. Hill has never
recommended a course that has not
for the people as for his railroads. ant
he has never supported a cause of this
character that he has not put HIS hanC
in his pocket and paid a big share o
the cost of education. When we meas
ure the good that will come out of hi
campaign for irrigation, which ha
been carried on for five years in thi
country, and compare it with any goot
that may come from the political con
test both in state and nation, agains
his policy of cooperative management
Mr. Hills work cOmpels a blush TO
the smallness of the work done b.
those who have based their politica
battles on his efforts.
Mr. Hill has, single handed. don,
more for the United States in the pro
noting of irrigation education, thu
settlement of the Northwest, and il
the extension of our trade into th'
Orient, than Congress has done. AM
vet the government lays down thu
, proposition that he is criminal.

REMOVED A TUMOR
Dick Miller, an Indian BuCkd-
roo, Operated Upon

At noon today DR.. Giroux removed
a tumor almost as large as a mans
fist from the back of Dick Miller. a
buckaroo, who has been employed by
Miller & Lux on their Summer Lake
ranch in Oregon.
Dick is a big, finely-formed Indian,
possessed of even more stoicism and
grit than the average man of his race.
He has been annoyed by the presence
of the tumor for five years. and con-
cluded that was enough. Walking into
the doctors Office he announced his
determination, stretched out on the
operating table and said, Go ahead!'
The pain was very great, no anaes-
thetics being used, but he uttered not
word until it was over. and the
wound dressed. Then he redressed
and went on about his business.

SHOULD HAVE
lYNt HE'D HIM
N gro Ei1ad in Reno Assaults
a White Woman in a
Lodging House

The Reno Journal says: Charles
Peters, a negro commonly called
Harry" is occupying a cell in the
county Jail this morning and is glad
from the city prison to the more in
Vulnerable structure he might be
hanging to the Virginia street bridge
today.
4 IeteTs took drink or two yester-
day and the brute in him came - the
surface. He went into the lodging
house kept by John Dotta, over the
Reno Wholesale Liquor Store, and
| looked through the rooms. In one Of
them he found Mrs. Dotta, who was
making up the bed.
I The negro said: Il want to ee
you privately" He entered, c. ed
the door and locked it. Mrs. Dotta
ordered him from the place, but the
negro approached her and seized her.
/ Mrs. Dottas screams caused one OF
tine iOuStlS W W thC OPCAo AiOooS
saloon, kept by Mrs. Dottas husband.
The latter hurried over to CONNER
cial street in search of a policeman.
He found officer Tatum, but by the
time they reached the lodging house
the negro had taken fright and es-
capped.
Umcer Tatum arrested Peters at the
south entrance of the Virginia street
subway and took him to the city jail.
Mrs. Dotta was in a pitiable condi-
ticn. Her clothes were in tatters as
the result of her fight with the black
fend. She was hysterical and for a
time her codition was serious. This
was made all the worse by the fact
that she is soon to become mother.
The circumstances became noised
about and the officers feared that an
attempt might be made to lynch the
negro and he was conveyed to the
county Jail by Officers Berry and Ia
tum for safe-keeping.
AT midnight Mrs. Dotta hau nearly
recovered from her fright and exer-
tions 1t is learned that the prisoner
is a rounder who fequents the ten
derloin and is accused by the officers
of living off the earnings of woman
OF mis- own color.
A later report, in today's Journal
says:
Last night was one of vague alarms
There were rumors current that an
attempt would be made to lynch the
negro who assaulted Mrs. Dotta with
intent to commit rape. The victim
was somewhat better yesterday but
had not fully recovered from the ply
steal and nervous shock. The clothes
were torn from her as she resisted
the attempts of the brute.
All night there were gatherings
uron the street corners and in seques-
tered places where there was whis-
pered conversation relating to the
heinous offense. Ii seemed at one
time as though an attempt would GER
tainly be made to advance on the jail
and lynch the prisoner. but wiser
counsel prevailed.

Making Gold Bars

The melting of golddust and its re-

the output will pass from the plant
to the sub-treasury at New York, has
begun at Bamburger's DeLamar mines

some delays in the attainment of this
point, they have been no greater than
have those that have characterized
other undertakings during the past
season. With the production of gold
bars at the bonanza, however, the
troubles that have piled up one after

From the above it will be seen tnat
the increase in valuation is principally
in the real estate, there being also a
small increase in personal property
outside of livestock.
OF the total increase noted $155.5Sl
is on the railroad company's patented
lands.
The assessment roll is now complete
and will be turned over to the county
clerk next Monday, September "a, and
he will hold it until October 5, or un-
til after the board of equalization
has held it's second meeting. This
beard meets first on the third Monday
in September, which comes this year
on the 21st, and again on the first
Monday in October, the 5th. After
this last meeting the roll goes to the
recorder, who will add up the valua-
ton and carry out the tax.
Assessor Guthrie states that there is
a marked increase in all kinds of per-
sonal property, outside of cattle and
sheep, amounting to $50,7SO. The to.
tai decrease in cattle and sheep which
are included in the personal property
amounts to $72,119; but the increase
in the other kinds of personal prop
erty was $50,7S0, or enough to cut
down the total personal property de-
crease to $21.339.
The above totals do not include
mortgages, which will be reviewed
from a list furnished by the recorder
when the board % equalization meets
and by them put upon the tax rolls
The mortgages this year will amount
to many thousands of dollars, but on
account of the large number which
have been satisfied during the past
twelve months, the total will not be
as large as last years.
In view of the extreme drouth that
has prevailed, and the consequen,
movement of stock from the county
the showing made is an excellent one

wealth are surprising and very graft
