4 Unique Tombstone.

A stone carving of a grizzly bear in
the attitude of defending her cubs has
been carved by Andrew Chester
Thompson, of Seattle. and will be in
mediately shipped TO Alaska t be plac-
ed over the grave of r. ~Shadesty, one
of the most prominent Indians in the
north when alive. He died December
II. 1908. leaving 5000 to defray the
tcost of the monument.
The big piece of stone carving,
weighing 5000 pounds, will be shipped
from Seattle 10 Wrangel. and from
that noint will be carried about 150
miles overland &c the home of the Bear
family of Indians The Indians them
selves will transport the grizzly on
its overland journey. according y
their own primitive methods of trans
portation.
Mr.. Thompson has been carving
images for Alaska Indians for the past
twenty-five years. but this is the larg-
est monument ne has shipped to Alas
ka carved from a single piece of mar
/ BILE
The stone carving provided for Sha-
desty is the first to be ordered in a
defensive attitude. For the Black
Bear tribe Mr.. Thompson has carved
several statues of bears. but they nave
all been on all tours. The Wolf tribe
and others taking their names from
wild animals have ordered carvings
but the work lone for Shadesty is
novel in it's conception.
1t is customary among Alaska IN
dams to leave money to pay for their
lown tombstones. and Shadesty saEed
for a lifetime to give himself a suita-
BILE place for his grave. He was veal
thy enough, though. to leave his kins-
men considerable mOney.-Seattle

Isn't it about time for Mr.. Thomas
Dewey to file his application with
the governor FOR pardon? OF course
he does not expect to have TO serve
his six years term in the p~enitentiafy.
But Mr.. Dewer is liable to be fooled.
Governor Glenn is not dishing out par
dons like some other governors used
to do. 1t is our humble opinion that
Mr.. Dewey will stay in the pen at
least during Mr.. Glenn's term of Office.
We cannot see hat there is a single
mitigating circumstance connected
with his case. There was no reason
in the world why he should have taa-
en- the money Of the depositors Of the
bank. 1t was done deliberately and
with full knowledge of the fact that
he would be unable to pay it back. VIC
do not believe he ever had any idea OF
making restitution. His sentence is
no more than he deserved. His pun
ishment is o at ali to severe.

When Marion Butler and Congress
man Blackburn unite interests we may
look for something doing. The former
wants TO get into the senate again
over the backs Of his republican
friends. 1t is strange that they should
allow him to pull the wool over their
eyes the second time. 1t does Eeem
that they would nave learned a lesson
from his conduct at the time he went
back on his word to Senator Prit-
chard. Then he not only failed TO
keep his contract. but deliberately
broke faith With his republican
friends. He violated d solemn promise
and contract. How can the same peo-
Lie put any confidence in him again?
But we suppose they will run any risk
in an effort to beat the democrats.

are many EXPIRE, ssions Of sympathy

that there should be more sympathy

people who have SO much sympathy
for Mr.. Dewey should think of those

DEVICE TO PREVENT WRECK
Railroad Travel May Become Absolute
ly Safe by Negroes Invention.
Denver Times.


John F. Norwood, negro, formerly
a shoemaker at 1923 Nineteenth street,
claims to have invented a railway sig
nal automatic register, which will make
railroad travel absolutely safe.
So simple is the device and so COM
pletely will it keep train officials in
touch with the movements of each one
sent out that head-end or rear-end or
any other kind Of collisions will be al
any damage to trackage will be imme-
diately registered and the exact spot
where the trouble lies.
Norwood now lives in Chicago and
left Denver about year or less ago.
While here he found plenty of work at
his trade Of shoemaker, and left an ex-
cellent record for character.
He is a graduate of Tuskegee insti-
tute and is about 26 years of age. He
States cavalry regiment during the
Spanish-American war. He has been
working on his invention for five years,
and in an interview explains it's work
ing mechanism in this way:

ment of all train upon any line and

also record the time Of all stops. The
officials of roads may have these regis
ters in their private offices and know
where all trains are and where they
were the day before or any time past
"These registers are quite simple in
construction, consisting of electric mag
nets, spring motor, small timepiece
with revolving face and other suitable
mechanism so arranged as to accomplish
the desired results.

THE GROWING SOUTHWEST
Development of Oklahoma and Neigh
boring Regions.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
Undoubtedly the part of this pros,
prospecting most swiftly today, is the
southwest-the region whose central
field is Oklahoma, Indian Territory and
north Texas.
The story Of Oklahoma's transfer
nation from an empty cattle range into
a land of blossoming farms and thriv-
ing towns was enacted in such a start
ling manner that it forced public atten-
sion. The beginning of the develop
made, even in Oklahoma-of other parts
of central southwest was made in less
sensational manner, and has not re-
ceived the public notice that it de-
serves.
Thus it was with surprise that the
nation at large learned, when the
statehood' agitation became strong
a few years ago, that there were really
more than twice as many white people
that these, and the Indians with them,
were doing all the things in the way
of industries, schools and churches that
are done by thriving communities in
Illinois or Iowa or Minnesota.
It was with further surprise that
people who in youth had been accus.
toned to think of Texas as a land
largely inaccessible save on horseback
or by wagon, learned this year that
Texas was leading all the states Of the
union in railway mileage. and had
pushed Illinois from the primacy held
for forty years.
These two facts illustrate how the
southwest is growing, and has been
growing, almost unseen and unheard by
the nation at large, and especially un
noticed by the general public in the
region Of the Great Lakes.

DRUGGISTS WIN PERMITS
Long, Hard Fight Affecting Park River
r, ID -a- Te a. End

GRAFTON, N. D.--George Shepherd. judge
of the county court Of Walsh county, has made
his decision in tht, Park River case for the IS
suance Of permits, granting to the three drug
gists of that town permits to sell liquors for
medicinal, scientific or mechanical purposes
Since the Shields law went in force none
of the druggists of Park River had obtained
q permit but soon after July last, the pro-
prietors of the three stores began circulating
petitions and stirred up much opposition for
the local W. c. T. U. The law requires the
petition for permit to be signed by the ap-
plicant and 80 per cent Of the freehOlders, hay
Ing the qualifications of electors of the ward,
and 80 per cent Of the reputable women over
q q. years Of age who gre residents OF tho
The hearing opened on Aug. 10 and as the
statute Is not very clear as to the qualifications
of the women. this caused much work and mis-
understanding, some contenGing that q woman
must have the same qualifications a woman
voting for county superintendent of schools,
others that If woman has the necessary quail
fcattons, she need not be citizen of this
county and still others holding that it was suf-
icient If woman with the qualifications Of
a voter was making her home In the particu-
lar ward at the time the druggist petition was
circulated. The most accepted view was that a
woman must have the qualifications necessary
for voting for superintendent Of schools.
Those opposing the issuance of the permits
were mostly women, their object being to dis
qualify sufficient number of the sgners of the
petitions.
DR.. Bert Bell, recently of this city, and Miss
Jessie Robertson Of Mimic. were married at
Grand Forks.

The Pierre Indian Industrial school has started
the term with an attendance Of $50 pupils.
This is the limit Of the school, but the de-
mands for admission are far beyond that figure,
and the school is always crowded. AS soon as
the new building is completed the limit will be
200 pupils. The school is sending agricultural
exhibits to the state fair and the Mitchell corn

Results in st. Louis Prove It Conduces
to Good Order and Prosperity.
South Bend Tribune.
For many years it has BEEN con-
tention that the enforcement of law
produces damaging effect upon the
such enforcement is effective. n =
The evidence obtained from Governor
Folk s crusade in Missouri goes long
way in proving that these opinions are
wrong. Since he began his exposure
of corruption immigration to Missouri
has increased 25 per cent more than in
any three and a half years in the state IS
history; land has increased 33 per cent
more in price than in any similar per
iod; the state IS revenues have grown so
that a reduction in the tax rate can be
the state has been improved; opportuni-
ties for the people have been enhanced
and generally beneficial results have
followed.
So much for the state. Governor
Folk s campaign against crime and law
violators in st. Louis alone shows that
In only four months there has been g
decrease of per cent in the arrests
for drunkenness; decrease Of 80 pei
cent IN arrests for murderous assaults
a decrease Of l3 per cent in arrests fol
per cent in Sunday drunkenness.
All this means something. It is g
very strong indication that the argu
ments for the wide-open town are not
built on a strong foundation, and that
those back Of such arguments assume
their position either thru ignorance OF
| Interior motives. If the enforcement
of law has such remarkably beneficial
effect in Missouri. and in st. Louis il
particular, why is it not good thing
for all states and all cities? There il
a problem for the business man to con
| slider purely from business standpoint
The evidence is before him and it cal
not be doubted. He is conducting hi
business to make money. If law en-
forcement will make him more money
why not insist on it? This is not tn
nig1r tbe view lew pehrhaps but it is on
greatest number.
