That the people of the United States
have too much law is plainly shown by
legal publication which has gathered
statistics respecting the number of laws
passed during the year 1903 by the legis-
latures of the States and Territories.
How many do you suppose? Fourteen
thousand, three hundred and ninety
four l4,394.) And this does not include
the number of laws passed by Congress-.
OF the making of laws in this country
there is no end. Somebody, somewhere,
is always at it. Did Blackstone realize
when he said there is no wrong without
its legal remedy what foodgate he had
opened? Every legislator has his bill in
his inside pocket. How could he snake
a record else? Suppose he should re-
turn to his constituents without having
introduced one bill! AS consequence

HON. JAS. DoB1E DEAD.

His many Langdon friends were
shocked to learn yesterday of the death
of Hon. Jas. Dobie at his farm home in
Glenila township. Pneumonia was the
cause of death and as his illness was
short the news came as surprise to
all. Mr.. Dobie IN his several years of
residence in this county had become
widely known and generally admired by
all for his many sterling traits of
character. The family left to mourn
consists of widow and several grown
sons and daughters, the deceased being
in his sixty-frst year when death came.
His long residence in Pembina county,
where he was for many years actively
prominent in both county and legisla-
tive affairs, will naturally make the an
nouncement of his passing away sad
news to many old friends. The funeral
occurs tomorrow Friday afternoon.

THREE DAYS RACES.
Lanedoa Association Will Hold Three.
Day Meeting in June.

The annual stockholders meeting of
the Langdon Driving & Agricultural as
sociation was held Tuesday forenoon at
the Office of the secretary, Fl. D. ALERT.
The principal business was the electing

Champine, Meiklejohn, Mcmillan, M.
Kelly and ALERT.
The financial report of the secretary
showed warrants against the association
outstanding to the amount of 1886, but
this deficit is more than Offset by the fact
that good deal more than thousand
dollars worth of permanent improve
ments have been made on the track and
grounds during the past season an ex-
pense they will not have to figure on
again this year.
The meeting decided to have three
days race meeting in June and are put
ting forth big efforts to secure for
Langdon the opening meeting Of the Ct.
Northern racing circuit again this season.
L. s. Champine goes to Grand Forks

A LONG LIFE CLOSED.
Mrs. Jos. McGauvran Sr., Passed Away
Last Friday Evening.

Easter Monday morning at ten o'clock
the last sad rites were solemnly said
and sung at st. Alphonsus Catholic
church for Mrs. Joseph McGauvran,
ST., whose death occurred last Friday
evening at nine o'clock, at the home of
her son, Postmaster John McGauvran,
of this city.
Deceased was in her seventy nineth
year at the time when her earthly
sufferings ceased, and was born in the
County of Kilkinney, ireland. She
was united in marriage to Joseph Nc
Gauvran ST., in 1858 in the township of
Afford, Ont, which place remained the
family home of the McGauvran's up to
the time of their coming out here in
1882, locating in the eastern part of
what is now part of Cavalier county,
near Beaulieu, where the old folks had
made their residence on the old home
stead continuously up to the beginning
of the present winter. From their
happy union sprung eleven children,
nine of whom, seven sons, two daughters
are now living, and all with the excep-
ton of one son, Jas. McGauvran, of
Saskatoon, N. w. T., were present at
the funeral, the six sons of the deceased
acting as pail bearers. The two daugh-
ters are Mrs. Peter Dunnigan, of Beau
lieu and Mrs. Harry Bowles, of Osna-
brock. The sons, with the exception of
two, all reside in this county and con-
sist of John, Joseph, Patrick, Thomas,
Felix, James and George. Mrs. Nc
Gauvran's sufferings during her illness,
lasting most of the winter, consisted
mainly Of bronchitis which, considering
the advanced age of the patient has
made the approaching dissolution ap-
parent for some time past.
At the funeral held Monday there
was large concourse of sympathizing
friends of the family from different parts
of the county gathered to honor the
memory of the aged pioneer of one of
the first families to settle in Cavalier
county.

ASSESSING AT TRUE VALUE.

The State Board of Taxation has
rebuked the assessors in Irvington for
only assessing property at fifty per
cent, gifts full value and Asbury Park
is expecting the same dose when the
State Board visits there shortly. 1t
is pointed out to these assessors that
the law regarding assessment of pro-
perty for taxation plainly says that
assessment SHALL be made at full val.
ne.
1t would be we'll for the State
Board to visit the towns and cities in
MiddIesex and see that all assess at
the full value. AT present Perth Am
boy is practically the only place
this is done and rs a result is
in more to the county in pro-
portion to her total valuation than
any other place. While we are not
complaining because the local asses
sors obeyed the law, it is no more than
fair that other places in the county
do likewise.

FOLLOWED BY TIMBER WOLVES
Their Eyes Looked Like Firehies
Flashing in the Dark. But They
Were Harmless.

Here" said l to me, what are fire.
flies doing in 80 below zero?"
At once l investigated. The fire-flies
we're wolves eyes. The wolves were es-
corting me home, says a writer In Coun-
try Life in America.
Newspaper tales to the contrary, not
withstanding, our timber wolves are per-
fectly harmless except when driven by
famine, and this was a good deer dis
trict. Their curiosity, however, is al
ways active, and no doubt curiosity
alone held them to my company. So we
progressed.
Then my lantern flickered out. l lit
1t. Again it went out. l shook it and
discovered that it was dry of oil. Then
1 considered. Ahead of me somewhere
in the pitch darkness, a single point in
a 100-mile, snow-choked wilderness lay
Camp Thirty-seven-chances decidedly
| against that. Behind me. another single
point was Camp Forty. The thermome-
ter stood about 80 below. If / blundered
ahead | should almost certainly pass our
camp, and find myself lost in the morn
! ing. If / waited for dawn where was
/ should probably freeze.
1T looks like a walk around a tree all
night" said l..
However, before selecting my tree,
kicked off my snowshoes and began to
feel for the trail with my moccasined
feet. To my delight, l discovered that
by keeping every nerve on the stretch
could just distinguish the difference in
consistency between the virgin snow anG
that trodden by the s~nowshoes. The
difference was faint, but it existed. With
infinite caution l applied myself to the
task of following the trail. A dozen times
| stopped for five minutes to rest my
nerves. Perhaps a dozen times more
wandered. but always managed to find
my way back. 1t took me three hours tc
cover the remaining mile and q half
but 1 did it and at last had the satisfac.
ton of topping the little hill that lay
above Camp Thirty-seven.
Next afternoon l went out to look a
my trail; | found that the wolves. sever
In number, had followed me to fairl,
within sight Of theIcamp.

ESCAPED RUSSIAN CRUISER.

British Captain Tells of the JaDa-
nese Warships' Voyage Home.
VICTORIA, b. c., March 1.-THE
Northern Pacific liner Olympia has ar
rived from Yokohama, with Captain
Hill, who brought the Japanese cruis-
err Nisshin from Genoa to Yokohama,
on board. He gives a most interesting
account of the trip, which includes a
race with the Russian cruiser Aurora
in the Red sea and the escape of the
Nisshin and Kasuga from possible cap
ture by the Russian squadron.
Captain Hill says that when the two
Japanese cruisers got through the Suez
canal they were closely followed by
the Russian squadron, which was evil
IDENTIFY trying hard to keep in close
touch with them. The Aurora, which
enjoys the reputation of being one Of
the fastest vessels afioat. attempted TO
overhaul the two cruisers, which, how
ever, put OF more steam and ran away
from her with the greatest ease. From
the firing up done on the Aurora it
was evident that she meant business.

with the Japanese admirals when In
Japan shortly before leaving, and they
told him that the main object Of the
Japanese operations at present WIS
Port Arthur. They were to capture
that place at any cost and were con
fident of their ability to do so. No eff
fort. the Japanese naval minister as
sured Captain Hill, would be spared to
reduce Port Arthur as quickly as prs
sible.s 1t would then be refortifled by
the Japanese, who would remain there
instead of following the Russians Into
the wilds of northern Munchuria OF
Siberia. The intention also is to re.
duce Vladiyostok as 500 as possible.
In reply to the question MS to wheth.
er the superb gunnery of the Japanese
warships was due to the presence Of
British or American gunners aboard
Captain Hill said most emphatically
that not a white man is employed OH
any Japanese warship in any capacity
whatsoever. From the bridge to the
stokers every man is Japanese.
