GOODRICH CITIZEN.

Deputy Sheriff Fred w. Blum of
the northern part Of the county,
was in town this week. He made
the Citizen a very pleasant call and
reported the crops in his neighbor-
hood rs being very good and that
harvest was in full blast.
Henry G. Olson, superintendent
of schools for Mclean Co., spent
the latter part of the week in this
vicinity looking after schools. The
numerous new schools being organ
lied in this county makes the du-
ties of the superintendent exceed
ingly hard and necessitates much
driving.

is here after reading the last issue

From, the Denhoff Voice.

The Denhotf Voice has not yet
been subsidized. But according to
some of our Mclean county con-
temporaries, it is liable to be sub
sidized at any moment. There is
said to be a ring in Mclean county
which is substituting right and left
regardless Of color, sex, size, but SO
far the Voice has been neglected.
Should any one see a subsidizer
sneaking around seeking whom he
may subsidize, kindly tell him the
Voice is unsubsidized. This paper
is Republican in politics, because.
it believes in the principles Of that
party and not because it has been
paid tor it. This paper is the old
est Republican paper in this end
of the county, but it has never re-
ceived one cent from the supposed
ring. An unsophisticated person,
reading some Of the literary pro-
auctions Of this county. would nat
urally suppose that those editors
who are willing to work for the
county machine" could afford to
dine off wine and walnuts, with ter
rapin every day for lunch. X *
All this talk about the ring and
the boss rule in our last Republican
county convention is given out by
those who know nothing whatever
about the convention, who were
not present as delegates or visitors.
The nominees were the choice of
the delegates. and the delegates
were not coerced or bought. Hon.
John Satterlund is said to have run
the convention. He is accused of
other misdemeanors equally as lud-
icrous. liking John" certainly
was consulted, but what was wrong,
in that? Who has done more for
the Republican party in Mclean
county than Mr.. Satterlund? If
he rum the convention, he did a
good job, as both the county and
legislative tickets are composed of
as good men as the county affords.
Soreheads of any kind are detest-
able, but a political sorehead on the
low side is beneath contemplate

A few weeks ago, the Deputy

didate for free board at the state
institution at jamestown.
The following is probably in
tended as an answer to The WASH
BURN LEADERS biographical sketch
Of Grethen's checkered political ca
reer. 1t is a poor cus and very
barefaced considering that the
Flickertail is published in a vicin-
ity where the facts are us we'll
known as daylight is distinguish
able from darkness. 1t was evident
that the lawyer-editor was struck
in a vital spot by the disclosures.
Owing to our knowledge of the linn
tied number in this vicinity who
read the Flickcrtail. we deem it
proper to reproduce this article for
their amusement. 1t furnished us
a little merriment and we are will
ling to share it with our vast num-
Der Of readers. Here it Isl
THE Flicker deals only in facts
and arguments. For our opponents
to endeavor by gross perversion of
facts, personal calumny and DELHI
crate falsehoods concerning the
editor of the Flicker to distract the
attentions Of the people from the
questions at issue, is no answer to
the facts and arguments brought
forward by us. On the contrary,
it is a confession of the truth of
what we say'and of u opponents
inability to deny it. 1t is a vain
and desperate attempt to throw
dust in the eyesof the people so as
to keep them from seeing the true
state Of affairs. But it will fail
miserably in its purpose.
If the Flicker were to turn aside
to answer all the silly and m.alig-
nant lies against it's editor that are
uttered by the craven editors of our
numerous, subsidized Republican
sheets in this portion of the state,
would be wasting valuable time
and space and would be doing just
what the enemies Of good govern
ment are anxious for us to do.
The Flicker Will continue to do
in the future what it has done in
the past-to tell the plain unvar-
nished truth wherever the public
interest demands it.
If you know anything Of the
Flickertail or it's editor, and don't

umns, your a Isl is hopeless and
you had better see the doctor.

ASSESSED INSURANCE
The Attorney General Rules on Suit
Brought to Collect Assessments
of a Mutual Insurance Go.

In January, 1903, the st. Paul
Mutual Hail and Cyclone Insur-
ance Co. received a certificate enti-
thing it to transact business in the
state of North Dakota during that
year. On June 3, 1903, this Ger
titicate Of authority vas revoked
by the commissioner Of insurance
because Of false statements made
to the insurance department. Prior
to the revocation Of its certificate,
the company had a great many
agents at work, who secured large
amount Of business. Its losses
were comparatively light, but these
the company failed to pay alleging
it is claimed, that the insurance
departn eut had ruled it out of the
state. The company, however. did
not fail to MAKE: the usual assess,
ment and insisted on payment. The
policy holders. however, in the main
refused to remit. The company
thereupon assigned it's claims to
certain parties residing in Ransom
county. This firm has instituted
suit, citing the delinquents to ap-
pear at the next session of the dis
trict court to be held in Ransom
county.
The attorney general rendered
an opinion respecting the action of
this company or its assigns in COM
mencing suit in Ransom county.
He holds that the defendants in
these suits has a right to trial in
his own county. In order to obtain
this, he must apply for a change
of venue before the thirty days
elapse in which he has to answer.
He further holds that the defend
ant should call the courts atten-
ton to the fact that this company's
certificate of authority to transact
business in North Dakota was re-
voked upon legal grounds June 3,
1903. He further cites the case of
Montgomery VS.. Whitbeck, 96 Nv.
Rep, p 1927, which decides some
of the issues involved in the pres
ent litigation.-Tribune.

EXPERT IRRIGATION TALK.

The vast bench lands of the Mis-
souri, River, in North Dakota, are
destined to support a great popu-
lation of prosperous farmers in
place of being devoted to the rails
ing Of crops Of wild hay.
From the standpoint Of a lay
man." said G.. b. Mitchell, the sec
rotary Of the National Irrigation
Association, II believe the Mis-
souri, river benches to be capable
Of the simplest irrigation Of almost
any lands in the United States.
"A short trip of Gen. Williams
and myself up the Missouri River
on the steamer Washburn, piloted
by Capt. Grant Marsh, disclosed
large benches comprising tens of
thousands Of acres, twenty, thirty
or thirty-five feet above the water
level which presented conditions
for ideal irrigation by pumping.
The land is fertile, the water sup
ply unlimited and the Ignite fuel
available. There seems to be no
good reason why an enormous irri-
cation development should not en-
sue. In glancing over the report
of Prof. Wilder, formerly of the
North Dakota Geological Survey,
[ find a chapter on irrigation in
which he gives some interesting
figures on irrigation pumping, and
these would, in my opinion, apply
to tens of thousands of acres of
Missouri benches viewed by Gen.
Williams and myself from the decks
Of the steamer Washburn. Prof.
Wilder says
Throughout the western part Of
North Dakota, the Ignite furnishes
a cheap and available fuel for ir-
rigation purposes. Fisher Broth
ers, of Green River, a small tribu-
tary Of the Heart, seven miles north
of Dickinson, have irrigated for
two years, pumping water from the

inches is used. With this
pump, which is driven by an ordi-
nary farm engine, 1900 gallons per
minute are easily raised fifteen feet.
The cost Of the pump delivered is

four foot seam, and can be had for

Hundreds of localities contin-
ues Prof. Wilder, are as favorably
situated as these, and as the popu-
lation in the western part Of the
state increases, irrigation will be-
come common. Away from the
streams, wells will very often fur

GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS.

The two government engineers,
Messrs. Storr and Churchill of the
Geological Survey are just starting
a general reconnaissance of the Ills
souri, River irrigation problem.
They will visit the outlaying coun-
try and then come down the river
from a western point, after which,
if they find conditions favorable,
the Reclamation Service will send
a corps of surveyors to make de-
tailed plans and surveys.
This work of the government is
pregnant with enormous POSSIBLE
ties for North Dakota. An empire
lies latent in the midst of the state
of which the people little dream.
The fertility of ages is stored in
the soil, the water of half a CONT
nent flows by u~selessly to the sea.
1t needs but the wedding of the
two to create and develop a wealth
compared to which rainfall farm.
ing will seem as nothing wealth
which will make North Dakota ia
nous in wet years and in dry, as
one of the greatest agricultural
sections of the globe.-Tribune.

HARD LICK.

There didn't much happen at New
London yesterday, but what little did
happen was encouraging to Yale. The
great and variegated crowd present
wasn't encouraged by the rain and the
postponement Of the races. but the per-
Torrance was accepted with resigna-
tion and other things, especially other
things. Such is life. To-day the ves-
sells shall be launched if nothing hap
pens to prevent, and to-day that which
might have happened yesterday may
happen. OF course this means that
Yale might have won yesterday and
may win to-day. Even though the
races to-day viii be in sense warmed
over ones, they may be quite warm.
and the enthusiasts who see them may
feel paid for their patience. It is pity
that just as 1t is announced that Yale
has made arrangements to own her
own quarters on the Thames the fitness
of the river for racing should seem to
be doubtful. But one swallow doesn't
make a summer. and perhaps the
Thames will behave better next sum
mer.

TROUBLESOME IxPAgsIox.

Germany isn't getting along very
well In her African possessions. The
Hereros don't bow when they are told
to and they are killing many good Ger
man soldiers, especially the officers,
whom they are as skillful in shooting
as the Beers were in shooting British
officers. The German settlers in the
colony are Disguised with their situa-
ton. This results in part from a con-
ception of the irreconcilable hostility of
the natives and partly from the unwill-
ingness Of the Reichstag to repay the
colonists fully the damage inflicted by
the rebels. The truculent attitude Of
the natives In the southern districts
who were hastily coaxed into submits
sion in order to free German troops
for service against the Hereros is de-
scribed as 'intoierabie and humiliat-
ing to the German colonists. "A Ger
man farmer has sent a request to the
Colonial government at windhoek for
permission to take his cattle over the
German border duty free as the least
that the authorities can do after failing
to guarantee him the necessary securi-
ty Of life and property. He openly de-
clares his resolve to settle in British
territory. The writer Of the letter as
serts that his views are fully shared by
all his neighbors and acquairtances, 1t
is feared that the number Of malcon-
tent emigrants from Southwestern At
RIGA will increase as soon as the terms
upon which the German government
proposes to grant compensation for
losses sustained in consequence Of the
rising become generally known in the
colony.
And so forth and so on. The benevo-
lent and henef1cent United States seems
to be getting along with her colonies
about as well as anybody who is in the
colonial line.
