Daugherty, this afternoon discussed
legislation for the improvement of the
highways before a meeting of the
board of supervisors, citizens and
farmers in the court house.
Mr. Magill. who is chairman of the
Legislative committee, said: There
seems to have gotten abroad in some
of the communities in advance of our
coming an erroneous impression as to
the real purpose of the visitations OF
our committee. We have been sent
out through the state at the request
of Gov. Deneen to learn sentiment on
the general proposition of inaugural
ing a system of hard road building.
There is a bill pending before the leg
islature, it is true, providing for the
state. county and township cooperat-
ing in bearing the expense of paying
for the construction of these roads.
| introduced this bill in response to
the wishes of the commission appoint
ed by Gov. Yates two years ago. This

commission framed the bill, hence it
is seen that it is not the creature Of
the present hard roads committee, as
many believe.
Not ChampiOninE Bill.
"Of course. the farmers is the more
directly concerned in the building OF
hard roads. but the people of the cit
les, too, are interested, as we have
found in the communities we have
been in. We are not advocating the
bill that is now before the legislature.
We are not championing any bill. We
are simply trying to find out whether
the people of the state are DESTROYS
Of having improved roads, feeling that
if they are that the legislature will
enact a law that will take a portion
shoulders of the residents of the farm
ing communities. We are in favor of
hard roads, and are giving the people
with whom we come in contact at
these meetings the benefit of whatever
knowledge we have on the subject,
tut we are not endeavoring to foist
upon them anything that they do not
want They are the ones who are
mostly concerned, not us. We are act
ing for them.

The Builders and Traders Ex-
change of Fargo have retained Spald-
ing and Stambaugh, through whom to
register their kick on the capitol
commission. Fargo builders are I'm
necessarily agitated. They are long
on complaints and short on business.
Where were these alleged Fargo con-
tractors when bids were wanted for
eminent buildings? They did not
have bid in. Where we're those Far
go builders-members of that organ
ization with the high sounding name
of Builders and Traders Exchange
when bids were wanted for the $780,
600 annex to the Fargo public build
ing? Not one of them had the nerve
to offer bid. Not one of them felt
safe in undertaking a job for so par
ticular boss as Uncle Sam. Not
bid from single one of 'em. If they
do not feel qualified in undertaking
a building costing one or two hundred
thousand dollars what do they expect
to do with a million dollar structure?
The capitol commission want to Sc
cure the best building for the least
money and they invite contractors to
come forward with plans and PROPOSE
Ssans, backed UP by absolute RESPONSE
Utility with cash guaranty and bond
that they will build the structure they
offer for the price named. It may be
that the time in which such PROPOSE
tons are to be received is too short,
and it is possible that further time
will have to be given but the commits
sion is not going to be held up by any
architects trust or builders combina-
ton. The commission feels that it is
just a little bit better qualified to
guard the funds provided for state
capitol than lot of so-called contrac-
tors, no matter under what appalling
title they may organize and no matter
what transcending legal ability they
may employ. It is possible that all this
fuss is tempest in a tea pot" after
all and that when the capitol commits
sion meets on the 18th inst. it will be
found that the proper thing will be for
those Fargo builders to go home and
cool off.

Finley Beacon: Monday morning
Annie, the adopted daughter of Mrs.
Jerry Kirkland, living four miles north
east of town, went out in the field with
a mower. 1t seems that while driving
the horses became startled, and in the
efforts to quiet them one of the lines
was broken and they ran away. The
girl, who is about Is years old,
slipped off the seat and her leg, catch
ing in the machinery, was broken. She
then fell ON the ground near the
mower, still holding the one line.
When she regained consciousness,
which is estimated at about two hours
after the accident, she climbed up on
the seat and drove the team to the
house.

The Powers people recently pur-
chased the elevator at Dawson and
Peter ,Immel will continue there with
them. AS they are also we'll equipped

prising company have done much for
Kidder county and deserve the patron
age of all who have grain to sell.
T. w. Allshouse has opened the
Great Western elevator for business
and has been taking in grain the past
week. He will run that elevator this
season, as usual, and will have live
ly time of it. Tom has a lot of bust
ness on hand, but the company could
not get a new man in the house who
would suit the community as he does.
The Sibley House opening at Daw-
son last Friday night was a very sue
cessful and satisfactory affair to the
proprietor and to those who partici-
pated in the festivities. The music
was furnished by Prof. Stafford on the
violin, and Mrs. Casselman at the
piano, and is said to have been ex-
cellent and unlimited. There was a
good attendance and all seemed to en-
joy the evening. A royal banquet was
served, and its general makeup por-
tends we'll for the future of the
couisine of the hotel.
James J. Hills address at the North
Dakota fair at Grand Forks last week
was another of those interesting talks
that distinguished man frequently
gives the public, and like many of his
other talks was addressed more to the
soil worker than to other classes. 1t
may safely be said that there are few
men in the country who can make
more interesting and suggestive adj
dress to the people than can Mr.. Hill.
It can never fail to be a pleasure to
hear him, nor to read what he says,
when hearing is not convenient. Long
identified with the northwest, and
from the first a builder of its rail-
roads, he has unquestionably a deep
interest in its welfare, outside of that
interest which touches his own work.
And as he says, the prosperity of this
state in particular is his prosperity
and that of all who are connected with
him.

An awful state of affairs threatens
the Red River Valley. From flooded
condition the entire valley may suffer
an unheard Of drought. The interior
department han issued an order for
bidding the sale of liquor in the So
called Indian country" and United
States District Attorney Houpt Of
! Minnesota, states that the strict en-
forcement of the law would result in
the eonfscation of every saloon or
liquor store in all of Minnesota north
of Fort Smelling. This would include
the cities of Moorhead, Crookston,
East Grand Forks, and hundreds of
smaller places. The district attorney
says that If the law is enforced, the
cid" will be shut down so tight in
northern Minnesota that only an act
of congress can raise it. The order
of the interior department is said to
be based upon the decision of
United States Judges Lochren and
Morris who in recent cases decided
that it was unlawful to maintain a
saloon upon allotted Indian lands, even
after the fee had passed to the white
person. This decision. the United
States district attorney says, in based
upon treaties with the Indians nego-
tiated in 1854, by which the United
States acquired Indian lands in the
Red River Valley. One of the articles
in this treaty prohibited the sale OF
liquor in this territory until otherwise
provided by act Of congress. Under
this section a test case was made In
1873 and the supreme court of the
United States unpeld the treaty pro.
visions. Should this edict be carried
out and supplies be cut off from the
good people OF Fargo and Grand Forks,
we would soon have practical demon
stration OF the sentiment for or against
prohibition In the valley towns.

VALLEY CITY, N. L., June y, W
We have been using the
Winona- Rushford grain wag-
ons for several years, and have
always found them thoroughly
reliable for moving heavy loads
to and from our mill. We have
used various makes OF wagons
but for our heaviest loads we
fall back on the Winona-Rush
ford as we have found the out
erbearing axle and clip gears a
great advantage in carry ing
heavy loads. We have carried
as high as IT, 600 pounds of -four
on a load to the 500 station,
two miles from our mill, and
our average load is from five to
six tons. We use the 81 size
for this work and have never
broken or replaced an axle. We
can heartily recommend the
Winona- Rushford for heavy
work.
