MONEY is OUT IN THE COLD.
Both Sides to the Damage Case Refuse
to Accept the Amaunt.

GRAND FORKS, N. D., June TO-
Some place between st. Paul, Cass
Lake a package containing $500 in
greenbacks is being buffeted about.
The package was sent from the Great
Northern offices in St. Paul to Mrs. J..
B. Walsh at Cass Lake. She returned
it after consulting with her attorney,
and the package was promptly return
ed to her. She then sent the package
to her attorney in this city and he for
warded it to the Great Northern off,
Gals, and it is understood or expected
that it is on it's way back to Mrs.
Walsh at Cass Lake.
The amount is supposed to be full
payment to Mrs. Walsh for the loss of
a husband ]. B. Walsh was killed in
the Great Northern yards at Larimore
several months ago. He stepped upon
the footboard of an engine, and owing
to the absence of toeboard, Or back
of the footboard, he stepped through
under the wheels and was crushed to
death. Mrs. Walsh started an action
against the Great Northern company
to recover $4,000, retaining George A.
Bangs of this city to look after her in
terests. The action was on the mo-
ton of the company transferred from
the district court to the federal court.
Mrs. Walsh lives at Cass Lake and
she was at once the subject Of much
solicitule on the part of strange men
who visited her at her home and gave
her advice. Finally one was more
persuavice than the others had been,
and before she realized what She had
done she accepted $500 and signed
document releasing the Great North
ern company from any liability for the
death of her husband.
Then she notified her attorney and
told him of the transaction, with the
result that the money was returned and
the package of bank notes has since
spent most of the time on the road be-
tween st. Paul, Cass Lake and Grand
Forks Mrs. Walsh's attorney says
the representatives of the railroad
company by false statements induced
her to accept the money and sign the
release.
When the case is called for trial In
the federal court the first fight will be
on the release which Mrs. Walsh says
to have signed under a misapprenen-
sion.

We have had many applications IN
the past for scrip applicable to un-
surveyed land, but the high prices OF
scrip having that power were prohib-
tive. We can now locate unsurveyed
public land at reasonable cost, COM
pared with the prices of scrip gener-
ally, and with absolute assurance as to
title. Good as Valentine. Many over
looked this opportunity when forest
reserve could have been used. This Is
another chance.
We also have forest reserve scrip
for surveyed land, protected In the re-
peal act of March 3, 1905. 1t will never
be cheaper than it is today.

SURVEYOR LoEHR AND BOARD
OF COMMISSIONERS AT
OUTS AGAIN..
Asked to View Won Hollenbeke Road
Surveyor Says, INIT, ! Must See
My Lawyer First"

II some kind hearted peacemaker
will come along and patch up the diff
ferences between County Surveyor l..
w. Loehr and the board of county
commissioners, farmers on Snake river,
who are clamoring for the opening of
the Won Hollenbeke road some time
before harvest, will offer up thanks.
Friction between Surveyor Loehr and
the commissioners reached an acute
stage yesterday when the surveyor
refused to accompany Commissioners
Struthers and McCaw on a trip to the
of viewing the proposed route of the
new road which has been petitioned
for.
The two commissioners returned
from the Touchet Wednesday night,
after viewing the Luckinbill bridge,
and had planned to make the trip to
the Won Hollenbeke place Thursday
.ternoon, but owing to the absence of
Surveyor Loenr, who had been called
to the Prescott neighborhood on some
private work, the trip was postponed
one day. All plans had been laid to
start yesterday afternoon and word
was sent to Surveyor Loehr to get
ready for the trip, but the surveyor
had other plans and Sent word back
that he would have to consult his
lawyer first.
The two commissioners waited
around their office in the nall of rec
ords for a couple of hours, hoping that
the surveyor would experience a
change of heart, but as there was no
sign that such a thing was going to
happen an adjournment was taken and
the trip abandoned for the time being.
In the meantime there are all kinds of
complaints going up from the farmers
out on Snake river who want their
roads opened up.
Until the return Of Prosecuting At
torney Wilson from the Sound the
question of VINO has authority on road
matters, the commissioners or the sur
veyor, will probably remain unsettled.

fore and Kansas has weathered them.
Yes. the .'trouble center" is usually
able to weather almost anything that
comes along. It is true that last year
the Kansas wheat farmers lost a great
deal Of wheat by not being able to-
harvest 1t at just the right time, but
they had enough left to swell their
bank accounts several million dollars.
But just the same. the Kansas wheat
belt will be pleased to furnish employ
ment to somewhere from twenty to
forty thousand men in the not distant
future. Every abIe-bodied man in
that region has all the work he can
look after already, and that is Why we
need help from the outside. We don't
expect many bankers to quit their jobs
to help us, although in the wheat
country bankers and everyone else
help all they can along about harvest
time, and Banker Bigelow would prob
ably have been far better off had he
come to Kansas to harvest wheat in
stead of attempting It on the Chicago

just how much help we will need. but
there will probably be plenty of work
for all who want it, and in the
familiar language of Mr.. Coburn.

Every stranger visiting San Francisco
sooner or later makes the acquaintance
OF Chinatown. To all such it will prove
an item OF interest that this picturesque
quarter given over to the children Of
the Orient, its very architectural fea-
lures changed to conform to the ideas
brought from the F'lowery Kingdom. is
threatened with extinction by the ire
pressible advocate of improvement. But
IN its place and on another site is prom
lsed a new and gIorified Chinatown
where the picturesque shall not be di-
vorced from the healthful and where
better opportunities for police zupervis-
ion shall be afforded.
There are about $50 individual owners
of property in Chinatown, and of these
only thirty are Chinese. The total value
of real estate jim Chinatown is estimated
at $6,000,000 AS the locality is within
a stones throw Of the best retail shop
ping district, and as it is elevated and
slightly presenting almost ideal sites
for fashionable boarding houses and
fine residences, it is believed that the
removal of the present occupants and
the construction of modern improve
ments would make the land worth at
least $25, 100000, if not more.-The World

MEMORIAL DAY.

Memorial Day: once more loving
hands garland the graves Of those who
have passed over the River of Death,
and fond hearts turn back to tender
memories Of days gone by.
Memorial Day was primarily insti-
tuted in honor of the brave boys who
donned the blue and marched forth in
defense of the flag and the preserva-
ton of the Union in the dark days OF
81. The debt of this country to them
can only be paid in the honor and
homage that is their due. They will
go down in history as the heroes Of
the greatest of earth's nations.
And there were herOines too: Moth
ers, wives, sisters, sweethearts, who,
with breaking hearts and tender
kisses, said goodby and gave those
dearest to them to their country, and
through those four awful years worked
and struggled at home, but constantly
cheered on those at the front Multi
tudes parted to meet no more on this
earth, and Wars harvest of the
widowed and the fatherless hourished
mercilessly.
Hero and heroine are passing now.
Besides those who gave their lives at
Chickamauga, and Gettysburg, and
The Wilderness, and the scores of
other battle fields, millions have
marched through life, some manned
and hating some widowed, some in
the full strength of manhood and
womanhood, but all have passed or
are rapidly passing now. These have
made this country great. They were
the ones who exhibited the same
strength in building up the nation
that they did in saving it. 1t was the
boys in blue who conquered the great
west. They had the greatest part in
building this commonwealth of ours.
Now only comparative few are left.
The remaining are gray-haired and
bent with years. Some of them were
not able to march out today to the
cemetery on the hill as they have done
every Memorial Day in the past. A
new generation has arisen and IL de-
wolves upon them to do honor to the
old guard.
But Memorial Day has wider
too. Wherever the Reaper
has cast his sickle, there the day must
be fraught with hallowed memories.
Those who have felt the hand of death
steal loved ones from their sides will
pause tenderly and reverently on
Memorial Day, while they garland
with flowers the graves, and with ten
der recollections the memories, of
those whom Death has snatched from
them.
