Champ Clark, IN ,he Saturday Evening Post, de-
picts the course of department life in the following
graphic manner II have no sort of doubt that there
are DID, gray-haired men vegetating in the depart
ments who, if they had never secured cerkship in
Washington, would Lave become great lawyers, doc
tors, preachers, editors, authors scientists or mer
chant princes. To many Of them the notification of
their appointment which filed their hearts with JOY
and conjured up before their minds eye gorgeous
visions of conspicuous and lucrative careers was an
unmitigated curse. They came to Washington full of
usty life, of high resolve Of lofty ambition they are
here now, fallen into the sere the yellow leaf their
energies gone their aspirations Dead their talents
frittered away by the service treadmi with only
one purpose remaining-to hold onto job and
unless dismissed sans ceremony, they will be here
when the inexorabe and inevitable messenger who
comes for all and will not be refused knocks at their
doors, even though he should postpone his unwel-
come visit thousand years. "

Medina Citizen: Philip Gross, one
of our leading farmers started up his
threshing machine last week to thresh
out his speltz, barley and oats. He
got little over three thousand bushels
of the crops, his oats yielding 100
bushels per acre.
The Ward county legislative conven

resolutions: 1--WE most heartily re-
commend the action of Governor White

and recommend that our senator and

CUT OFF TRANSPORTATION.

Said Some Land Men Have Abused
Privileges Granted BY the Rail.
roads.
st. Paul Dispatch: Scandals, aris-
ing from the misuse Of privileges
granted land men in the northwest,
threaten to result in a serious curtail-
ment of the concessions they have en-
joyed from the railways serving north
western territory. Passenger officials
OF several lines are seriously exercised
over disclosures which indicate that
some of the land companies have been
none too scrupulous in their use of
the concessions granted.
This, coupled with reports from of.
fetal sources. which show that during
the past few weeks there has been q
steady falling off in travel on account
of land operations, has brought about
an uncertain situation, which at any
time may result in new land agents
agreement among the northwestern
railways, under which free transporta
ton privileges will suffer an important
curtailment.
For several years, the lines into St
Paul have operated under an agree
ment commonly accepted, by which
land agents, able to show that they
have created travel worth 500 in
cash to any single line, have been able
to obtain a mileage book of 1000 miles
for their personal use. The amount of
business created has been figured on
the basis of cash paid the line by buy
ers brought into the northwest, for
their railway tickets. Buyers in most
cases have enjoyed special rates. For
each 500 so paid, the land agents
have been receiving mileage book.
One of the St. Paul lines has just
discovered that, in reporting tickets
bought by his clients, for purposes OF
obtaining mileage for himself, a North
Dakota agent apparently employed
curbstone methods and took the num-
bers of many tickets held by persons
visiting his home city, who were not
connected in any capacity with land

entire registration will be drawn, mum.
bered and tabulated. and as those who
have drawn in the first 5SS fail to
make filing, notice will he sent to
those next in order. so that IL all the
claims are not filed upon those whose
names are not drawn until late in the
lottery will be given a chance 1t is
hardly expected that any Of those
drawn above the first thousand will
have opportunity to complete filing
on the Fort Totten reservation.
The registration is not nearly so
large as expected. The low rates
made by the railroads kept the regis
tration OF the last two days up to a
much higher figure than would have
been the case had the old rate been
maintained.
Bach days registrations have been
tabulated and placed in alphabetical
ORDER and the small slip signed by
each applicant for claim has been
enclosed in small envelopes, on the
front of which is printed the words
Devils Lake" The first one of those
envelopes will be marked No. 1 and
the second No. 2, and so on, and until
they are opened there is no one who
will know whose name is contained in
any of the envelopes. After the mum.
bering process the envelopes will be
opened and the names tabulated in
order.

full investigation, that he induced trav-
cling men and others buying tickets
to take receipts and turn them over
to him, afterwards reporting them as
tickets bought by bona fide land buy
ers who visited North Dakota for the
purpose of securing land.
I'VE recently received a request for
a considerable amount OF free trans
portation, accompanied by the unsup-
ported statement that a great deal of
business had been created for our Line
during the past three months by the
company making the request. We de-
mainded an accounting and discovered
that the company was able to show
but one instance, and that a doubtful
one, where their operations had
brought us any business for which
cash was paid US.
"This and numerous other cases, we
have investigated, convinces us that
thousands of miles of transportation
have been issued for which we have
received absolutely no returns.
1--WE have discovered fraud in max
ing reports of business alleged to have
been created for us and have found
Instances where We have been asked
to issue transportation in considera-
ton of business which the line carried,
which was in no way connected with
land operations In some instances
there is PARTIAL evidence that broker
age methods have obtained that the
railways have been systematically
worked by the land companies.
"The matter is receiving serious at
tention. The land business is falling
off and we are seriously considering
whether it is longer worth while to
grant concessions for the sake of the
travel the land companies are creating
for u.s."
1t is anticipated that within the next
few weeks the matter will be take up
with view of ascertaining the senti-
ment of all the lines on the question
of agreeing on a new code of land
agents rules.

ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES.

Attorney General Rules On Suit
Brought to Collect Insurance A.
sessments.
In January, 1908, the St. Paul Mutual
Hail and Cyclone Insurance company,
received certificate emitting it to
transact business in North Dakota dur
ing that year. On June 3, 1903, this
certificate of authority was revoked
by the commissioner of insurance be-
cause of false statements made to the
insurance department. Prior to the
revocation OF its certificate the COM
pany had great many agents at work,
who secured large amount Of bust
ness. Its losses were comparatively
light, but these the company failed to
pay alleging, 1T Is claimed, that the
insurance department had ruled it out
OF the state. The company, however,
did not fail to make the usual assess
ment and insist upon payment. The
policy holders, however, in the main,
refused to remit. The company there
upon assigned its claims to certain
PARTIES residing in Ransom county
This firm has instituted suits, citing
the delinquents to appear at the next
session of the district court to be held
in Ransom county.
The attorney general has rendered
an opinion respecting the action of this
company or its assigns in commencing
suit in Ransom county. He holds that
the defendant in these suits has a
right to trial in his own county. In
order to obtain this he must apply for
change of venue before the thirty
days elapse in which he has to answer.
He further holds that the defendant
should call the courts attention to the
fact that this company's certificate of
authority to transact business in North
Dakota was revoked upon legal
grounds June 3. 1903. He further
cites the case Of Montgomery vs.
Whitbeck, So Northwestern Reporter
page 327. which decides some of the
issues involved in the present litiga
ton.
