choose. He will take a vaca-
ton of a few weeks. We are
sorry to see Jim leave here as
he was always obliglng and

doubtful if they get another

business he did. He carries

The reason for this action on
|the part of the boy hunters
,originated in the action a fun
lowing resident of Day county
who caught gopher and clev-
erly grated a half dozen tails
where only one grew before.
Then he showed the rodent to
some boys and told them that
if they caught the gopher and
cut off his tail half dozen tails
'uld grow where the amputa-
I n took place and showed his
tailed gopher in support of
b assertion. With visions of
Wealth before their eyes when
the next gopher bounty season
arrives the boys have quite
generally adopted the system:
it is asserted.

MAHARA'S MINSTRELS.

When will the minstrel show
grow old? Judging from its
present popularity its freshness
will be perennial. After years
of experience in the minstrel
business Frank Mahara this
year has to offer perhaps the
most complete combination of
experienced ingenuity and
knowledge of theatrical effects
in the way of ministrelsy that
was ever put on the road be-
fore. Unlike other minstrel
organizations Frank Mahara
seems to have struck a happy
thought in putting forth per.
formance that properly could
be termed rag time operetta
and this of course includes all
the later innovations and
specialties of the east. Ma.
hara's famous challenge band
and orchestra will give street
parade. Tuesday, May 9th.

ANOTHFR VIEW.

The question OF the location
of the Red River Valley Uni
versity is still in the air.
Evidently the powers that be
are waiting until sentiment
can be worked up to the point
where the wires can be pulled
in favor of the Grand Forks
location, beside the State Uni
versity. That would be a seri-
Gus mistake. A move that is
incompatible with the founda.
tion principle of the nation that
the church and state should be
distinct and separate in their
various enterprises. The chief
reason why there seems to be
such a large percentage of the
clergy, as well as the the laity,
|of the Methodist church in
North Dakota in favor of the
consolidation with the Univer.

MINNEs0TANs OBJECT,

A postoffice fight is on be-
tween the citizens of Minneso-
ia and North Dakota in the
country near the boundary line.
1t is all because Fairmount in
North Dakota is delivering the
mail in Minnesota across the
Red River. e. c. Nelson of
Tenney says that the fight is
growing warm, and has brought
out the efforts of Congressman
Steenerson Of Minnesota, who
sees an encroachment on his
territory.
"The citizens of Tenney, on
the Minnesota side, object very
strongly to having the mail de-
livered by the rural route car
rier from across the line. in
North Dakota" said Mr.. Mel
son. "The line runs about
fifteen miles in Minnesota. Ma
turally the Minnesota people
object to having their mail
come from North Dakota.
"The business men of Tenney
say that people on their side of
the river would develop the
habit of going to Fairmount to
trade if they continue to get
their mail from there. So they
got up a protest and it was sent
on to the department at Wash
lngton. The congressman took
up the matter on the ground
that the patronage from his
district was going to the con-
gresham in North Dakota, and
the whole thing will be investi-
gated. 1t is expected that an
agent from the rural service of
the department will be out
there soon to look into the mat
ter."-Forum.

"vON'T COME PECK, u

There was a Dutchman on
the train trying to ride on a
meal ticket. The conductor
told him he would have to pay
his fare. He said: "How much
to Hankinson?" The conduc-
tor told him IS cents. The
Dutchman said before he would
pay more than 25 cents he
would get off and walk. The
conductor stopped his train and
put him off. The Dutchman
ran ahead of the engine and
started to walk. The engineer
began to blow the whistle, The
Dutchman said: "Ycu can

LEADERS IN SOCIALISM,

The insolence and extortiou
of our railway and lighting
companies have also stirred
profoundly the popular con.
sciousness. We may endure
with comparative equanimity
the spectacle of the elected re.
preventative of the people sell
ing himself to a piratical cor.
poraticn, but the most apathetic
of US resents having his pock-
cts picked to pay some one
else's dividends on watered
stock. Human nature being
what it is, the gas investigation
in this city has made friends by
wholesale for the project Of
municipal gas and electric
plants. When a monopoly
manufactures gas at from SO to
30 cents thousand feet and
sells for a dollar, when it meets
heavy interest charges on
enormous over capitalization
when it deliberately supplies a
product inferior to the stipu.
lated quality, when it jugglee
with the pressure in order still
further to swindle the consum.
er, no one can be surprised if
men in their haste seize the
weapon of municipal owner
ship. Harrison E. Cavity
William Rockefeller, Anthony
N. Brady, Thomas F. Ryan and
the other directors of the Con.
solidated Gas company are the
real leaders of the crusade for
socialism-not such frothy
demagogues as Eugene V.

DAKOTA ROADS.

A good roads special is now
being run by the Northwestern
line through the muddier parts
of Iowa. As a rule, Dakota
roads are good enough by ma
ture, but such poor road mas
ters get hold of some of them
that they are frequently made
impossible. Wide fiat road
beds are sure to wash badly
with heavy rains and also to
become muddy and fullof holes.
By simply making the roadbed
narrow and considerably high
er in the center than it is on
the sides, a good dry whole
roadbed can generally be Sc
cured. There are greasy, mud
dy sections where this kind of
a bed might not do, but as a
rule the ruin of roads is caused
by their flatness.-Dakota Farm

TIED TO A cows TAIL.

A farmer who had rented his
farm and sold off his stock and
tools. was heard to say that he
was now thankful for the fact
that he would not any longer
be "tied to a cows tail" Poo,
man! No wonder he felt a
sense of relief. For more than
a score of years he had done
the milking 73O times between
each and every Christmas and
even when this, the hottest OF
holidays, came there was nc
respite. Holidays or Sundays
the milking was there just the
same, so we can hardly wonder
that he had come to think his
job the steadiest and hardest
one on earth.
But was it? What business
is there on this earth that If
faithfully and profitably follow
ed, does not pretty nearly "tie"
its devotees. An old saw says:
"The shoemaker must stick to
his last" and while practically
true, it is no more true of the
shoemaker than of any and all
other trades and professions.
The farmer is very apt to look
upon the doctor, lawyer or mer.
chant. as men of leiaure. while
they in turn pursue their tread
mill rounds, often dreaming OF
some happy day when they
shall be able to own and work
a little farm of their own. We
can all of US see our own labors
and our own troubles far better
than we can the tolls and sor-
rows Of others.
