WEST IS THE SUPPLY HOUSE.

The Importance Of the markets Of
the United States was again demon
strated when both Russia and Japan
placed orders for war supplies with
American firms. AS a matter of fact
there is scarcely nation on the face
of the globe today, except our own,
which can conduct war Of any
magnitude, without relying on the
resources of another country, and the
regularity is that nearly all are COM
peiled to rely on the food products Of
this country to supply the armies in
the field. The wheat fields of the
northwest must furnish the bread,
while the cattle ranches of the south
and middle west are called upon FOR
the beef. The people of the United
States do not desire Japan Russia
conflict, yet if it does come they will
certainly be the ones to profit by the
trouble. The United States is a
world power in other ways than be-
cause of it's war strength.

HAD NO
CAUSE

Lansford, N. D., Dec 80. Monday
afternoon at 8 O'Clock, the town Of
Lansford on the Granville branch Of
the Great Northern, was startled by
the announcement that w. C. Putnam
had just peen found dead in a room
at the rear of the bank. His son,
George Putnam, was the first one to
find his father and he at once notified
Attorney J. P. Hall and Postmaster
Banks. The latter notified Mrs. Put
nam who was visiting at one of the
neighbors. The coroner's jury has
been called but has not yet determined
a verdict whether accidental or not.
The death of Mr.. Putnam will in
no way affect the bank in a financial
way.
Mr.. Putnam came to Lansford from
Minneapolis about six months ago and
since that time he has held the posi-
tion of cashier of the Farmer & Mer-
chants Bank of Lansford with George
Porter Of Minneapolis as president.
The cause of the act cannot be &C.
counted for.

WHAT is BLUE SKY 2

The plue color of the 8 on
bright clear day has been constantly
noticed by the individual from child
hood. To the primitive lay mind
the azure tint of the armament is
simply its natural color. But our
daily experience shows that the visi-
BILE dome Of the heavens is orly an
appearance, and science teaches us to
enquire critically into the nature of
things. The cause Of this color
viewed from scientific standpoint has
been almost as Elusive as The ssfabled
philosopher 3 stone, which during the
Middle Ages was for centuries an OBJ
ject of profound research. The same
may be said of the familiar color of
the deep blue sea, which has ELECTED
the admiration of dwellers on the
ocean shores from the earliest ages of
mankind; and yet probably no great
number of individuals nave inquired
into the cause of this color.

HABEAs CORPUS PRo C q,

HABEAs CORPUS PROCEEDINGS.
Attorneys John Burke Of this city
and Corliss Of Grand Forks, have made
application to the United States
Circuit court Of appeals for writ Of
habeas corpus for Sheriff Scofeld, Of
Ward county who it will be remem-
5bered, was sentenced to ninety days
in the Fargo jail BY United States
district Judge Amidon for attempting
to influence a juror in the Murphy
case.
The writ will be asked on the
ground that the power Of the federal
court has been limited by an act Of
congress, and such limitations have
oeen held valid by the higher courts;
that Scofield was lnot in contempt Of
court, inasmuch as mis- alleged mis-
behavior was not in the presence of
the court or in the court building
but several blocks away, nor was it
80 near the court as to obstruct the
administration Of justice .
The application was made to Judge
Sanborn at st. Paul, and will be
argued before the court at st. Louis ].

A WORTHY EXHIBIT TO BE SEEN

There was, at the public school
building this week, an exhibition that
was not only credit to Prof. Dewar,
the efficient superintendent o. the
schools, and his able corps Of teachers,
but to the pupils and to the Ct ty. It
was the work prepared py the school
for exhibition at the meeting of the
state educational association at Grand
Forks, this week. The work showed
the actual development of the child
as he passed from one grade to
another Language work was shown
from the time it was undertaken
through the course. There were the
crude, though mentorious productions
of the beginner as he struggled with
his first attempts at language con-
struction, with the teacher correc-
ons of his work. These were neatly
bound, and for frontispiece was a
photograph of the grade. An exami-
nation of these through the several
grades showed the rapid development
of the pupil. Mathematics were
shown in the same manner, while the
painting was shown from the first
combinations of colors to the repro
duction of the aesthetic ideas of the
artist in the higher grades. Then
thore was the paper cutting of the
fslt grade, with the handword in ele-
mentary manuel training. The Jun
ior Journal, school magazine, pre-
pared by the pupils, and which not
only showed artistic skill in the make
up, but literary and intellectual abb
lity in the matter it contained, was
another strong feature of the exhibit
1t should be stated that ali this work
is done by the schools, practically
without detracting from the actual
work of the recitation room.

QUIT

A Washington correspondent give!
the following opinion on the celebrat
ed Smoot case: The opponents Of
Senator Reed Smoot of Utah believes
he will resign his seat in the senate
rather than undergo the rigid investi
cation expected. This belief is passed
CT advlse from Salt Lake City.
Mr.. Shoots action would result
from pre- sure brought to bear by
church leaders. When the committee
on privilege had submitted the
charges against Mr.. Smoot he init.
mated that a reply in writing would
be filed at the end Of the week. In.
stead ne weat to Salt Lake City. II
is understood his reply is being pre-
pared there and will be carefully re-
vised by the cnurck authorities. The
belief that Mr.. Smoot will resign il
up held by the theory that the powers
behind him are convinced that The
present fight is directed against the
Mormon eharch 81 a whole, rather
than simply against polygamy, and
that they do not care to have til.
control of secular M tiers by til.
ecclesiastical authorizes made bare.
TIE reasoning Of Mr.. Shoots op.
ponents in the senate is that his re-
ply, as revised by the church authori
ties, will not disavow belief in poly
gamy and will defend the Mormon

is a we'll about eight feet deep and
200 or 300 feet from the house and the
board which covered this we'll was re.
moved and on the box lay Ratchet
while near by was the cap, gloves and
overshoes Of Gillet. The we'll was
drifted full Of snow and the searching
p .rty headed by two neighbors, George
Sorgard and Peter Green. forced a
board through the snow and struck
what they thought to be the body Of
the unfortunate man. They then
went over to the home Of another
neighbor, Robert McLain and return
ing they extrica ted the body Of Gillet
from the we'll. N.

There was about three feet and ten
inches Of water in the we'll and he
was onsh.s kneos, his fists clinched

arrived Saturday and on Sunday

about dozen witnesses examined.
No decision has yet been reached and
there are suspicious Of foul play. An

before q decision will be rendered
by the jury.

which there had been a lawsuit for
years, until the parties had spent half
a dozen times what the land was worth,
Hackett knew all about it. Some of
the people wondered why he wanted to
get hold of property with such an incu-
bus of uncertainty on IT, Others
thought that perhaps he wanted some
legal knitting work and would pitch IN
redhot to fight that line fence question
on his own hook.

ing land thought, says the Baltimore

trouble when he SAW Iackett coming
across the fields one day.
Said Hackett: Where's your claim
here, anyway, as to this fepce?"
Il insist" replied the neighbor, that
your fence is over my land two feet
at one end and one foot at least at the
other end"
We'll, replied Hachett, you go
ahead just as quick as you can and set
your fence over. At the end where you
