acres Of ground, broke at midnight

through the valley from Ward to Lyons,
but fortunately the people living below
had been warned Of the break, and all
escaped.
Mrs. J. B. Willis, living on the bank
of Left Hand Creek, who first noticed
the break, had barely time to leave her
cabin and notify John Roney, telephone
operator at Ward, before the waters swept
away her belongings
Roney sent an alarm over the tele-
phone wire to all the ranch honses and

with telephone communication, riders

is said on the authority of close polit-

reasons for the support Of the Governor

THE PLATFORM.


The platform and resolutions regard
ing presidential candidates were agreed
upon early in the afternoon by the roso-
luton committee 1t follows:
The delegates Of the democratic party
in Virginia in convention assembled re-
affirm their allegiance to the great card
inal doctrines Of American democracy.
We hold that all power IS vested in
the people; that government vas ips'i
tuted for their equal and common bene-
fit and that any legislation that operates
to enrich at the expense of other classes
is fundamentally wrong and should
have no place in any system of free gov
eminent. The highest duty of govern.
ment is to give equal protection to all
and special favors to none. It is
a well-defined democratic doctrine and
one peculiarly essential to the welfare
and happiness Of the country that all
matters Of interstate and national concern
shall be controlled by the federal govern
ment, and that all matters Of State con-
Germ shall be controlled by the State.
The democratic party stands for honesty
and economy in the collection by just and
equal laws ofonly so much ofthe peoples
money as may be required te del'ray the
necessary expense of their government.
The republican party, in its adj
ministration Of the federal government,
has shamelessly trampled upon and yio-
lated every one Of its essential principles.
We recognize the necessity Cor concen-
tration of capital in order that the means
Of the people may be employed in ac-
cOrdance with economic lawsip develop
ing the resources aud promoting the pros
perity Of the country, but insist that the
abuses that have become prevalent and
widespread under republican rule shall
be remedied By the enactment By Con-
gress of conservative but efficient laws for
the just regulation of the interstate public

stockmen Complain.

Complaints are coming in to Fargo
from the stoclSmen about the inspec-
tors Governor White has selected to
head Off the threatened epidemic of
scab among the cattle. The stockmen
petitioned Governor White for in
spectors and took it for granted that
he would select veterinarians. In
stead it is claimed that none of the
men he has named are veterinarians.
Professor Van Els, of the veterinary de-
partment of the North Dakota agri-
cultural college, is ex-officio state vet
erinarian and is held responsible for
the work He issued proclamation
which the governor has not yet pub
lished He also suggested the names
of some veterinarians for the work
and his suggestions were ignored. His
friends advised him to decline to take
up the work without competent as.
sfstants as there is little hope of the
scab being eradicated without able
men to see that the work is done prop
erly.

Would Merge Three Counties.

For some time move has been I'M
der way in three of the western coun-
ties of this state for the consolidation
of those counties and the organization
of a new one The counties are Alfred,
Wallace and Mckenzie, three morgan
lied counties, and it is desired to form
from them new county to be known
as Roosevelt county. The conditions
there are such that some action of this
sort seems necessary. Being morgan
lied, the people in these counties have
no local officials and no sort Of local
government whatever. The territory
is a rich one, being occupied in part
by small farmers and in part by stock
men. There is no local taxation and
no public schools

Business Houses Burned.

The entire business portion of Pisek
was wiped out by fire last week The
fire started in the general store of F.

Macha dropping a lamp on the floor.
In few hours nothing remained OF
the business buildings of Pisek. There
was high wind when the fire started
and as the town has no fire protection
nothing could be done to prevent the
destruction of the buildings. Mr.. Macha
will rebuild and it is probable that
others who were burned out will do
likewise. The total loss is estimated
at about $4,000, partly insured.

PARTS OF THE STATE.
John Rooney, Condemned Murderer Of
Harold Sweet at Fargo, IL
Given a New Lease OF
Life by a Court.

John Rooney. murderer, gets a new
lease of life Fills attorneys have re.
ceived notice from the clerk of the
United States supreme court that the
case cannot possibly be heard at this
term and will be put on the calendar
for October. Rooney was convicted
at Fargo of the murder Of Harold
Sweet of White Earth, Mimi. in Far
20. in August, 1902. HIT was sentenced
by Judge Pollock to be hanged. In
the meantime the legislature enacted
a measure providing that all death
penalties should be carried out in the
state pen, instead of in the counties
where the crime was committed, and
that the time between the imposition
of the sentence and the execution
should be six months instead of three,
as formerly. This law was passed sub.
sequent to Rooney's conviction and
prior to his sentence. When Judge
Pollock discovered he had made mis-
take he had Rooney brought back
from Bismarck and resentenced &C.
cording to the terms Of the new law.
Rooney's attorneys contend that the
prisoner was convicted under one law
and sentenced under another, which
provides an additional punishment in
that the new law says the prisoner
must be confined in the pen at least
six months after being sentenced be-
fore he can be executed while the old
law said hanging should occur within
three months. The attorneys assert
the addition of three months is an en-
ira penalty. The case was appealed
to the United States supreme court
and the Rooney hanging, which was to
have occurred last fall. was postponed.

For two years the government has

Gently swept to sea by heavy swell
rolling out over the bar.
Several million tons of rock had
been hauled and floated on barges
from Fishers Landing, and piled into
the sea, in the effort to change the
current OF the tides, as they sweep
in and out, from the Columbia, and
thus scour out a deeper channel over
the bar. and divert the washing
sands, that are carried down the cur
rent of the river, to either shore. in
stead of straight out to sea, as at
present.
One swell of heavy seas, washed
away full mile of the jetty, destroy
ed the work of three years, and
threw 500 men out of employment.
1t would have required but three
months more to have completed the
wing of the jetty extending toward
the Fort Stevens shore. Now 5000
feet of that wing lies at the bottom
of the sea and the immense task must
be done over again.
The basis of the jetty was a row
of piling, five deep, driven from 20
to 40 feet into the bed of the ocean
and banked up behind and between
the piles with tons and tons of rock
To repair the destroyed section mean;
that the entire mile of piling mus

debris remaining from the wrecked
jetty.
