1t is Up to The Citizens.

The Independent received an
article from Nels Tucson last
week in which lie offers todonate
five acres of fine land west of DR..
C;lrr's residence providing the
citizens Of Minot in some manner
build an orphans home there
on. On account of the lack of
space last week, the article was
crowded out Of the paper. The
offer is Il kind one on the part of
Mr.. Tufuseon and he will do Just
what he says he will do.

jacobson Pays the Freight.

During the year 1903, Martin
jacobson, the hardware man.
paid $11.444.S5 freight. or en-
ough to pay for hauling a string
OF loaded cars 100 in number
from the Twin Cities to Minot.
We believe that no firm in the
state paid more for freight than
Mr.. Jacobson did. This means
u great amount of machinery
that has gone into the country
surrounding Minot during the
past year.

your share OF the business-ifyou
have not received italready. The
Independent feels grateful to the
commissioners for being made
official, but had the commission
ers seen fit to have appointed
some other paper, we should
have never grumbled.
In some townships near AIinot
farmers are holding mass meet
ings, formulating plans for the
determination OF gophers. This
is right. Now is the time to think
Of destroying the pests. Don't
wait till the harvest is over and
the fiickertails have destroyed
half your crops. Get after the
gophers before the young ones
make their appearance. Last
year a. thousand dollars We're
spent by Ward county for goph-
er poison. Many farmers secur-
ell the free poison and distributed
it over the fields with excellent
results. Others did not follow
! instructions. and failed to kill
many gophers. We know Of
many farmers who failed to use
the poison at adjust took it
because it was free. Many brot
rifles into play with excellent re-
suit, but this is slow work and if
your time is worth anything, it
is expensive as well. Traps placed
about gardens, thin out the go
piers, but Others come in from
the fields to take their places. 1t
is hard to estimate the amount
OF damage which was done in
Ward county last year by the
fiickertails. 1t was enormous.
Whole oat fields We're destroyed.
The grass was tramped down by
the gophers in running in and
out of the fields. We believe that
in time the gophers will be thin
ned out until the amount of dam
age they do will benominal. But
! it will take the concerted action
Of all OF the farmers. 1t is dis
couraging for one farmer to
slaughter the pests, spending
valuable days, and then have his
neighbours gophers run across
the line and devour his crops.
Perhaps the neighbour is Il specu-
lator and does not live on his
claim or perhaps he is short
sighted and does not see the adj
visibility OF destroying the worst
things that the farmers have to
contend with. Some farmers be-
lieve il the county would Offer Il
bounty OF Il cent'or a half a cent
on g.ophers, it would havea good
effect. This appears to be rather
expensive. Farmers should take
enough interest in their own
welfare to destroy the destroyer
OF their crops.

Tony Ferrell is now lying in
Jail charged with being disorder

we understand is about to be

Of this charge, the penitentiary

where Tony and his like should
be placed.

Graves Visited by Children.

The Independent is glad to
know that the three little Graves
children. whose father murdered
their motherrecently, havef found
a good home with Mrs. Emma
Lawrence. about 30 miles west
of Portal, where the terrible
tragedy was enacted. The chill
dren have been made to believe
that their father is i'll in Il hos
pital here. and last week were
brought here to visit him. Graves
was brought from his cell into
the parlor Of the Sheriff's home
and spent six hours with his lit
tie ones. One OF the little tots
climbed on the father $ knee lisp
ing. ooh. Papa, you didn't kill
Mamma, did you?" The father
could not answer. and his eyes
were blinded with tears. Graves
is morose. and says but little to
his fellow prisoners.

Mr.. Greene and his family from

their host of friends here and
they take with them to their new
location the good wishes OF all.
Mr.. Greene has always been one
OF the most popular members OF
the bar, with his associates and
the courts. and the expression OF
regret at his severance OF con-
nection with the Cass County

The Facts in the Case.

As indicated by the semi-annual
statement Of County Clerk Wade, the
total Indebtedness Of Lincoln county
at the beginning Of the present month
was $53 1896 SO, with resources of Sl6.-
1926. Perhaps $4,000 OF these resources
will 90 TO pay interest on outstanding
warrants, making the actual indebted.
ness s39, 9,07l63-instead of 100000 or
$40 600, as has been unblushingly cir
culated by the Yaquina Bay Knocker
and other dishonest calamity howlers.
The semi.annual statement last Novem-
Der showed total Indebtedness Of
So, ,3i0.S9, with resources Of S6,S60 81
AN actual Indebtedness of SIS. .4S0 08-
or $S,408.45 more than the present
debt. Let it be rememb bered that these
resources are gilt-edged-no imitation.
As stated in the report, Sll ,325 OF the
amount is cash. The property bid in
by the county at tax sales is not even
estimated as part Of the resources,
although all are agreed that it amounts
10 something. This is certainly good
showing, and should in a measure quiet
the fears Of our citizens who have been
taught TO believe the county debt is pill
ing up every day.

some Of its venom at Commissioner
Stanton last week. Mr.. Stanton has
lived in this part of the world nearly
40 years aud has the utmost confidence
and respect OF host of old friends and
Heighbors. He was defeated for renom-
ination, it is true, and this is just about
what will happen to any man who at
ttmpts to succeed himself as county
commissioner. 1T is well understood
that when an official act of commits
sioner or county court gives satisfac-
zion in one quarter it almost invariably
causes dissatisfaction in another, with
the result that there is strong demand
for Il change every two years. Mr.
Stanton was defeated, and took it like
man-not like a mugwump. He bears
a good reputation, and Que who does
not is hardly qualified to pose as his
critic.
