THE FAIR.

The directors of the Griggs
County Fair Association were
favored with ideal weather for
their two days stock show and
race meet. In the forenoon of
August l, after the parade to the
grounds, horse Judging and the
awarding of premiums was COM
menced at 10 a. IN. There was a
splendid exhibit of horse, Briggs
& Delaney, of Valley City, hav-
ing number of fine Belgian
horses. Our county horsemen
were also we'll represented. A
ball game between Cooperstown
and Binford concluded the pro-
gram for the forenoon. 1t was
a good game and interesting.
Score : to 8 in favor of Coopers-
town. In the afternoon occurred
the horse races. The 2::4O class
was tame and the 2:10 tanner.
The running race was good.

The Emperor of Germany and
the Car of Russia are trying to
place a King on the throne of
Norway. They had better trot
along and run their own bust

Norway has made break for
independence and had better &C
ahead and establish a republic
and throw the crown into the

selves should elect their own
ruler.

United States Senator Nit
chell, of Oregon, was recently
convicted by a jury of using his
high office to build up his bust
ness-in land cases-a sort of a
graft. The kind hearted Judge
sentenced him to pay $1,000 fine
and to serve six months in the
county Jail. Such a sentence is
a travesty on justice. Had some
citizen of the common walks of
life been in Mitchell's place he
would probably have been sen

as outlined In The Herald few days
ago.

calling of anothe election within thir-
ty days, thus nullifying the regular

with the increased salary provided a
few nights ago, another expense OF
$500 this year.
Again. it means a nasty political
fight OF squabble. First will come the
regular contest and then in fifteen
days the whole matter will have to be
thrashed over again. II is quite like
ly the same parties elected would be
nominated again, but II the contest
was at all close at the regular cleo
tion the weak points OF the success
ful candidates would be attacked and
probably the result changed in sew
eral instances
The Herald editor has not given
the matter sufficient study to express
an opinion as to the merits OF the
case, but 1t is one that should be care
fully considered before the next meet
ing of the council. when the ordi-
nance will come up for final passage
So far as the provisions generally
are concerned there is no objection,
hut from a casual glance we are op.
posed to two campaigns. 1t is too
bad the plan of annexation was not
agreed upon and decided at special
election so the regular election would
not be interferred with.

certain parties had killed deer and
knew of bunch that were penned In
with the deep snow high up in the
hills. and the party that had done the
killing intended going after them. So
word was sent the game warden al
Creede, and ne lost no time In com
Ing to investigate. He was seen by

the report was not true--ti1at he and
Mr.. Lathe carefully examined the
premises where the killing was re.
ported to have been done. and they
examined the snow In the direction
of the hills from where the deer must
have been brought, and there was no
sign whatever of the killing. A ranch
man was seen who said That rs deer
had been killed in that vicinity this
winter, but when asked for particu-
