The case brought by the county
against Geo. Dickinson for taxes
assessed against the Bank of Red
wood Falls, brings up a rather nice
point of law. The defense, repre-
scented by A. c. Dolliff, enters de-
murrer on the ground that the as
sessment should have been against
the stockholders and not against
the bank.
A SANDER case of some Importance
has been brought by Miss E. NJ.
Wederath against George Sch wab, a
well-to- do Three Lakes farmer, who
is alleged to have allowed his angry
passions to get the better of his
Judgment, causing him to circulate
slanderous reports about the teach
err, who had corrected his children
and incurred his displeasure. If
the allegations are proven the chiv-
alrous public will say that George
ought to be ashamed of himself and
pay the penalty of slandering a de-
fenseless woman. Laudon and How
ard are for the prosecution and
Clague & Emerson for the defense.
Another new case is the action
for divorce brought by Susan Mary
Boeckler against George Boeckler.
Both sides allege cruel and inhum-

LARGE COURT CALENDAR
Fourty-four Civil and Ten Criminal Cases
Filed for Trial, at Beginning
of Court.
The Court Will Have to Move Along Rap
idly to Dispose of all in
Sight at This Term.

The calendar prepared by Clerk
Warner for this term of court is
record breaker for number of cases
to be disposed of. 1t is practically
the accumulation of litigation in
this county for an entire year. 1t
is true that session was held last
October, at which the grand jury
turned out an unusually large num-
Der OF indictments. But all trials
of Importance were put over to this
term on account of the very short
time at the disposal of the court,
owing to the change in the court
schedule which shortened the avail
able time for the term to less than a
week. For the local attorneys this
has meant a long time between
trials and fees, and they are in a
condition to appreciate the feelings
of the governor of North Caro-
lima when he made his famous re-
mark to that other southern states
man about liquid refreshments.
!. Among the mountaineering cases
from legal point of view is that of
Christian Peterson VS.. State Bank
of Morgan, which will be recalled
as the case brought forward last

Jail, for bigamy, is expected to
plead guilty. The details of this
case are already more or less famil-
lar to GAZETTE readers.
A sensational case will probably
come before the grand jury from
Walnut Grove. r. r. Freeman, a
prominent banker of Walnut Grove,
is charged with an attempt to ruin
the character of domestic in his
employ A significant fact in con
nectlon with this charge is that the
young woman has secured an order
OF court appointing L. Garlock, an
other banker of Walnut Grove and
? business rival of Freeman, to be
her guardian, she being under IS
years of age. Freeman alleges a
case OF spite work, and it will be
for the grand jury to determine the
extent of criminality in case that
is deplorable, if not sensational.
Yesterday court opened promptly,
Judge Webber proceeding at once
with 2 call of the grand jury, which
was Instructed as to its duties and
Withdrew and organized by the
election of T. J. Dickson foreman.
The preliminary call of cases
disclosed the usual proportion OF
cases Settled or continued by con-
sent.
Wher the case of Christian Peter
son vs.. State Bank of Morgan was
reached, Attorney Howard, for the
plaintid, stated to the court that he
had recently learned that his client
was insane and now in the St. Peter
hospital. He asked that the case
be either continued or passed until
a guardian could be appointed.
Attorney Olsen stated that he be-
lieved Q guardian had already been
appointed, and the case was passed
flor the present.

ATTORNEY LOUD In TROUBLE.
Former Redwood Falls Druggist Having
Trouble in Beltrami Comfy.

Il. ]. Loud, at one time a drug
gist OF Redwood Falls, conducting
his business in what was known as
the odd brick drug store" and
who has been county attorney of
Beltrami county for several years
past, is in trouble. Citizens of that
county are accusing him of being
lache in enforcing the laws, and
have made complaint to Gov. John
son, who has appointed a commits
sion to investigate the charges made
against Mr.. Loud, as we'll as other
county officers of Beltrami county.
The Minneapolis Journal of April
18th says that "HerbertLoud, coun-
ty attorney of Beltrami county, is
accused of refusing to prosecute
the enemies of Matt Cannon, may
or of Spooner, : who was murdered
last Sunday. The accusation comes
in the form OF a statement made by
Cannon before he met his death at
the hands of the assassins.
The charges against Loud are
embraced in the report of the state
examiner, p. M. Kerst, filed with
Gov. Johnson Thursday. asking the
removal of the county attorney. The
accusations were made by Cannon
to c. E. Johnson, an assistant ex-
aminer in Kerst s Office, Under oath,
and are, in part, as follows:

gave the names of three or four wit
nesses. He said he would have to
write to them. .
Cannon also accused Loud of
failure to prosecute in other cases.
The trouble arose over Cannon
filing on the townsite of Spooner
and coterie of men are said to have
attempted to drive him away, as the
land was valuable.
Attorney Loud has published an
emphatic denial OF the public exam
iner's charges and asserts that he
was never knowingly party to any
graft during his official career. He
concludes:
If all warrants were issued that
are asked for, there would not be
Jail room in the county to hold the
accused, nor enough money in it's
treasury to pay even the witness
fees, and there would be no more
convictions than at present. Nor
would any good purpose be served,
as complaints made from malice and
other improper motives against in
nocent parties are matter of almost
daily occurrence.

The prospects for successful COM
mercial fruit growing were never bet
ter than now and no phase of farming
can compare with it for results on a
small acreage. The acreage about the
Sound is rapidly being depleted of it's
timber and if such is to be resource
full to the county containing it, then
intensive principles of farming must
be applied. Such a system of farming
will only be applied on small acre.

son to understand the relations of
natures laboratory requisite to the
maximum production of crops. The
farmer of western Washington must
contend with more problems to win
success than the farmer of eastern
Washington. This is due to the great
variation of soil and climatic condit-
ions, aside from the handicap of land
expensive to clear. This land, when
cleared, is costly and must be made
proportionately remunerative and he
should not be allowed to fail if it is
possible for him to make success
The farmers institute, one of the
greatest aids, has been taken away
because the politicians at the last
legislature were compelled to occupy
their time in battle for their mercen-
ary and other interests. The agricul-
tural experiment station for western
Washington was taken away for the
same cause, and if there ever was
such station needed anywhere, it
would be an easy matter to show why
it is needed more for western Wash
ington than elsewhere. 1t is an ex-
pensive matter to do without it. The
farmer must stand this expense di-
rectly and all others indirectly. The
proportion of frmer's loss to the
politicians is slight and the average
politician during the legislature knows
little of the farmers interests and
cares less-and will manoeuvre to
avoid such petty things, especially at
the approach of the time limit for bills
to be placed on the docket prior to
running the gauntlet. From then on
is the very cautious and delicate time
to approach the legislators-their eyes
are, as it were, on the game and if one
is shrewd in lobby tactics there is yet
hope to have them consider your in
significant wants for the farmer.
But during the approach of the close
of the legislature, if your wants have
not already received the desired recog-
milton, there is practically little hope
left because those fathering bills
which are yet in a critical condition
are acting like demons to strengthen
their position-and great is the con-
fusion.
Such is the condition which prevails
and it is up to the farmer to be strong
enough to equal it. Capitalistic inter
ests come first because capital is or
ganized to protect it's interests and
lluoC uO oO nO lnICISOCo
are last or nil, because he is not or
ganized to have sufficiently strong
recognition to command respect dur
ing such valuable moments at the
legislative session.
The most valuable industry to the
state is that which it must look to for
it's future interest. Thus in this state
the agricultural interests come first
and therefore should receive first
recognition but according to the action
of the last legislature it came not
at all. The only one to blame is the
farmer. The agricultural press, if
it does not educate the farmer to
know his representative and how he
will vote on his interest, is in a meas
ure also to blame. The measures for
the farmers interests should all be
summarized by the agricultural press
and it should instruct farmers why
they should and how they can have
them pass. The measures to be pass
ed may not suit all farmers but that
is no reason why it should not re-
ceive their support. If it aids another

you mention that you believe
there is an arrangement between
Skagit county and Snohomish county
whereby I may go and perform the
duties of inspector in Skagit when
ever called upon.'" This is wrong
Impression. No such arrangements
were ever made.
In an emergency case the law pro-
yides that the state commissioner mas
the power to order an inspector or an
adjoining county to perform needed
duties when necessary in another
county. 1t also provides that when
necessary an inspector may call for
a qualified assistant to aid him. An
emergency existing in Skagit county
in 1904 the ex-commisioner of horti-
culture saw fit to call on my ASSIST
ant to perform the duties of inspector
in Skagit county.
At a meeting of the Skagit County
Horticultural Society, my assistant,
B. v. Egbert of Snohomish, was nomi-
mated to be their inspector for a per-
iod of two years. According to law
the nomination was recommended to
the county commissioners, who are
required by law to make the appoint
ment. Upon their failure to do so the
law provides that after period OF
two months the state commissioner OF
horticulture shall have the power to
make the appointment, which he did;
and Mr.. Egbert acted as inspector dur
ing the period of nursery shipments
for about four months.
The county commissioners of Skag
it, not approving of a law which al
lows such proceedings as above out
lined, did not see fit to remunerate
Mr.. Egbert for his efforts as inspec-
tor Mr.. Egbert has never received
cent for either time or expense and
was compelled to sue for the amount
due and the case is now pending for
decision in the supreme court.
With the old law there was a pos
sible protection for an inspector to
be reimbursed for his work, but with
the new law there is no hope for an
inspector who is appointed in an
emergency case by the state commits
sioiner, since the law now provides
that it is optional with the county
commissioners what salary shall be
paid to an inspector. The law also
provides that three nominations shall
now be made to the county commits
sioners by the county horticultural
society. This gives the county COM
missioners their choice.
Thus the whole law designed for
good results to the horticultural in
terests of the state is now placed in
the hands of politicians and if they
so design they may use the office of
county fruit inspector to accomplish
results in a campaign that would
startle the oldest war horse of poll
tician
To make it plain: The county COM
missioners may have their man run
for the Office of fruit inspector. They
have the power to appoint him, have
the power to pay him any amount
they please, and if he is of value the
amount may or may not be an object.
If it is low and the man has passable
qualifications for an inspector the diff
ference can be made up in his politi-
cal value. The county commissioners
may suggest to the inspector that he
