Increased Probate Fees.

Fargo Forum The enactment Of
the new law. increasing the fees in
probate court in the matter of hand
ling estates, will perhaps double the
revenues of the Cass county court
Under the old law estates ranging in
value from $4,000 to $4,000 paid
fees amounting to $50 Under the
new law they are assessed S. for each
$1,000 of the estates value. AS an
illustration an application was made
today for the appointment of William
Morris as guardian of the estate of
the late Thomas r. Morris, which is
valued at $25,000 Under the old law
the estate would have paid the coun-
ty $50, on a graduated schedule. for
mulated in the enactment. The new
law will make it necessary for the
administrator to pay into the county
court 1924, in this instance more
than doubling the fees collected under
the old law. In explaining the work
ings Of the new law Judge Hanson
remarked that these fees are paid in
to the treasury of the county and not
to the county Judge.

CLEAN OFF THE WALKS.
A Little Care in Clearing Walks Of
Condition for Travel During the


Bismarck now has an excellent
system of stone sidewalks, and with
the first fall of snow it becomes es-
sentia that some care be paid to the
clearing Of the walks if they are to
tion through the winter. Where there
are vacant lots. residents of abutting
property should be public spirited
enough to help clear off the walks.
If everybody will help little it will
result in a vast improvement Of the
streets. making the walks safer for
pedestrians and presenting a better
appearance to visitors.
Attention Is also called to the city
ordinance on this subject, portion
of which reads AS follows:
ORDINANCE NO So.
An ordinance to prevent the obstruc-
ton of sidewalks by snow:
First. That the owner. agent, ten
ant occupant, or any person having

the day time within five hours, or if
in the nighttime. before eleven O'Clock
in the forenoon succeeding, cause the
same TO be removed from said side
walk. and if the same cannot be
wholly removed from said sidewalk
shall sprinkle thereon sand or other
substance. so that such sidewalk shall
he safe for travel and in default
thereof shall pay fine of $l.OO, and
for each and every hour thereafter
that The same shall remain on such
sidewalk such owner, agent. tenant,
occupant or other person. shall pay
fine of 81 90. After the expiration
of the time limited as aforesaid for

TURNER TALKS WITH TAYLOR.
St. Louis Superintendent Promises
North Dakota the Original Space
Desired

Desired.
Commissioner of Agriculture Turner
went to ST Paul with Superintendent
Taylor of the agricultural building at
st. Louis, and before Mr.. Taylor left
he promised the full space needed for
North Dakota. giving it full block
45X90. The demand for space from
every quarter is very large, and Mr..
Taylor supposed that North Dakota
intended to have state building in
addition to the space in the agricultur
al building, and this was one reason
why the space was cut down. He is
decidedly convinced that North Da
kOta is in dead earnest and will make
a very interesting exhibit under the
direction Of Lieutenant Governor
Bartlett After consulting with the
people of North Dakota and seeing
their enthusiasm Mr.. Taylor says that
anything in reason they can have. 1t
will be of interest to note in this
connection that Mr.. Taylor was at the
head of the award committee at the
great fruit display at Ogden last Sep
tember, and be refused to even con-
slider Utah exhibit because is was

moth: the award was made to Idaho,
