Equally Divided-Nit.

The printing Of the county according
to law and custom is supposed to be
divided equally between the different
newspapers published in the county.
aad is in most counties in the state, ex-
cept in Bottineau county. According to
the official proceedings Of the county
commissioners of their last meeting for
the month last past it would seem thst
board Of equalization could find some.
thing to do along the line Of equalizing
the work to DO given to the different
papers of the county. For the month
of June the Bottineau News collected q
bill OF $167. 40 while the Bottineau Cour-
ant, Westhope Standard, Lansford
Times, North Dakota Eagle and the
Omemee Herald combined collected
the magnificent sum Of S14o.O5. the bills
ranging from 1885 for the Omemee
Herald to $3.50 for The Eagle, which
included all work done by The Eagle
for the county since January l, 1905, or
in other words. in the last six months
The Eagle has collected just $3.50 from
the sounty for work done, while the
Bottineau News collected last week over
four times that amount for enc months
work. It may be that The News done
move towards placing the present Of
fcials In Office than the rest of the
papers Ia the county and is therefore
entitled to four times the amount of
patro mage over all other papers-and it
may be true, as some claim, that Falken.
stein, being chairman of the county
central committee, and sevvile tool Of
the bosses, has absolute control OF the
patronage and deputy-ships Of this
county and can therefore control the
amount of patronage 10 be given to
others, but we have our serious doubts
about that matter. One thing We feel
sure about Is that II the above estima:
ton OF others is true TIE Eagle will not
even got the chance to collect $3.50
during the next six tnonths.-Wlllow
City Eagle. y
The Eagle shouldn't complain 60
bitterly. The Graphic here Is not recog-
nized, but you don't see US kicking.

Sun Spots.

Boston, July 24.-Two sun spots are
now exciting considerable interest
among Harvard astronomers on account
Of their size They are close together,
somewhat above the center and on tho
right side. Their diameter is estimated
to be 100.0O0 miles. twelve times as big
as the Garth. When they frst appeared
on friday they were not easily visible.
but now they can be plainly seen
through smoked glass or even with the
naked eye whom The sun is low.
Whether the hot weather Is caused or
affected by them is not known. VIM.
P. GerIish. Of tho Harvard observatory,
said: "San spots are not unusual. but
appear quite frequently. These are Of
interest for their size, which is large.
Scientists are not agreed as to whether
they have any effect upon the weather
or not. The y may have, but it cannot
be demonstrated"

What One of Our Citizens Think
of Irrigation.

VI 4441SdGAOAs
The following letter will probably be
of interest to 4 number of our readers
and especially to those who are in any
one Of the three irrigation projects In
this county. The letter is In reply to q
letter written George R. Wallace at
Moorehead, Minnesota, in which a
petition was enclosed asking that he
sign for the land owned by him In the
Nesson valley irrigation project. The
letter is right to the point and contains
advice that could be probably acted
upon BY land owners in all three of the
projects mentioned.

CHAPTER III.
PAU S Discovery.

1t is essential at this point in our
story to return to the klondike. 1t is
again night, and the little camp on
the densely wooded stream is wild
with excitement and confusion. Men
were hurrying to and fro and giving
utterance to angry eNclamations.
Among the most excited was our old
friend Gid Myers. Gid had rope in
his hand, and was gesticulating wildly
toward cabin that had been erected
on the banks of the stream, around
which stood four or five men with
rifles in their hands.
No wonder the gold-diggers were ex.
cited. A terrible crime had been com.
mitted in their little community. 1t
was the first that had ever been
known on the Klonuike, and these
hardy frontiersmen felt like wreakine
vengeance upon the perpetrators.
81 tell We, boys, we ought to make
a holy example O that precious rasca,
in yonder shanty. We have found gold
here by the million o. dollars, an when
we thought we had an honest com
munity four thieves pounce upon us
rob one O. us, an almost kill him. Now
let's hang the Teller Crack Last

of Gid Myers. This chap what got

A weiahty season.

The other afternoon, while talking
to his gardener, certain Yorkshire
gentleman expressed the opinion that
the Ivy OH the end of the porch was Tin
q bad way" Indeed, he was half in
clined to pull it down. He subsequent
ly mentioned the matter to his wife
who. however. was strongly against
such a course.
''Ah. john" remarked the gentle
man. on meeting his gardener the next
morning, "about that ivy. Mrs. X
prefers to let it remain as it is. She
advances many good reasons why II
should not be destroyed"
"Well. sir" replied John, "the lady's
entitled to her opinion, of course, but
that ivy ought to come down, y'know.'
perhaps it should"
'And I've got good reason or two
for sayings So" went on the gardener
"In the first place. it's regular heye
sore: in the second, it harbors spar
rows. and sparrows is noosance; in
the third, you had sort Of an idea il
ought to come down yesterday; and
in the fourth-well. cut it down last
night, sir"
Mr.. X appreciated the Fourth
reason" far better than did his wife.
