at the beginning Of the day or abolish
ed altogether. The controversy grew
in bitterness till both parties to it
were glad to shelve it by going back
to the old regime.
The browning educational work Of
Archbishop ireland was the building
of the Hill seminary at Macalaster. To
this great enterprise James ]. Hill,
the railroad magnate donated $780,
900, supplementing this later with 9TH
er liberal gifts. The buildings of the
seminary were competed in 1897 and
dedicated with pomp and ceremony IN
the fall Of that year, Papal Delegate
Satolli, Bishop Keane, and many other
distinguished prelates being present.
Archbishop Ireland presented to the
seminary his private library. one of
the finest in the northwest.
While he seldom mixes in political
life in the sense of delivering address
ses and making pleas for one party or
another, Archbishop ireland is a man
Of pronounced opinions on all state
and national topics, and exercises his
influence in his own way, but the oc-
casions have been few on which he
felt it his duty to break his rule of
non-interference. One Of these occas-
ions, still we'll remembered, came in
the fall of 1896. The campaign be-
tween Mckinley and Bryan had only
about three weeks to run and twenty
Of the leading business men of st. Paul
sent him letter asking that he give
to the public in his own way his views
regarding the great questions then
before the citizens of the republic. On
October IL of that year he sent to the
country what was then regarded as
one of the great addresses of the con-
test, in which he declared unequivo-
cally against the free silver theory.
For the past quarter of century
Archbishop Ireland has given much
attention to charity and the promotion
of enterprises looking toward to the
amelioration of the condition of the
very poor. He is moving spirit In
all the Catholic charity societies and
gives much in private charity. 1t Is
said that he never turns beggar from
his door absolutely empty handed. He
gives money to them with slight ques-
tioning. 1t is related Of him that one
evening in winter a forlorn looking
man came to his door and asked for
a quarter. Fumbling in his pockets
for a minute the Archbishop brought
up a $40 gold piece, and, handing 1t to
the fellow with a smile. said: "That
is a little more than you need tonight.
Take it, use what you have to, and
make the remainder the nucleus for
the fortune which you have it In your
power to win"
Plainness appears to be the great
prelate's watchword-in the furnish
ings of his home, in his dress. In his
speech, in his acts. He never varies
his dress. His suit is of plain black

long Prince Albert. He sticks to the
old fashioned boots never having worn
a pair of shoes since his early youth.

REMEDYING THE LIEN LAW.

The attention of the legislature is
directed to the needs of a law in this
state requiring lien holders to release
all liens within a reasonable time
after they have been paid. The con-
ditions of the public records of the
state do not by any means disclose
the actual conditions of the average
business man and farmer.
AS in all new countries there has
in the past been an enormous credit
system in the state. Much of this
credit has been secured by mortgages
on land. In the older portions of the
state these have as a general thing
been paid of. But others have taken
their places, while in the western part
of the state the history of the valley
is being repeated at this time. In a
few years when the lands are proved
up and the country becomes old these
mortgages will be paid of and the
same question of clearing the records

Big Farmer Here.

A. ]. Kildahl of Maza who is in the
city today, is one of the largest diver
sified farmers in the state. He owns
one of the finest farm residences in
the country and his barns and other
buildings have been the admiration of
all who have seen them. Moreover,
he operates one of the largest farms
in that part of the country-and
Towner county claims that it is the
very center of the agricultural uni
verse-which is thoroughly diversified.
In addition to the regular crops of
wheat and fax, he raises everything
which can be grown on North Dakota
lands, and is one of the successful
pioneer raisers of corn in the state.
For several years he has not only
been able to mature corn on a small
scale, but his later efforts have been
rewarded with the ripening of the corn
long before there was any danger Of
frost

Rise in TemDerature,

Weather conditions throughout the
northwest have materially improved in
the last twenty-four hours SO far as
the rise in temperature is concerned.
The change is something like twenty
five degrees. Reports from various
points this morning give the following
readings of the mercury: Duluth 6
above, Fargo 10 above, St. Paul IA
above, Mayville ~ above, Grand Forks
10 above, Grafton 10 above, Hoople 16
above.

will be raised unless there is change
in the law.
Four years ago Minnesota which
had an experience similar to that Of
North Dakota, except that it was at
an earlier date, enacted law which
made it misdemeanor punishable by
fine of fifty dollars for any lien
holder recorded in the proper Office
within sixty days after the payment of
the same.
BY this means the records are kept
cleared of all satisfied mortgages and
other property membranes and at
the same time the standing of any in
dividual can be determined at any
time. But with the records of this
state loaded down with liens which
are dead but which in searching the
records the abstracter is compelled
to record against the mortgagor, he is
deprived of the financial standing to
which his property accumulations en-
title him. He may have property
worth several thousand dollars but
the records often show that this is
heavily encountered, while as mat
ter of fact he may not owe dollar in
the world. He is consequently de-
prived of the advantages of utilizing
his property because of neglect in
cleaning the records, for it is we'll
recognized fact that business men are
guided by the abstract rather than the
owners story.
True the mortgagor might look after
his own releases, but sometimes the
other party does not indicate any over
plus of zeal to execute the same. A
law similar to that of Minnesota would
serve the purpose suggested admirab-

contractor, supposed this dirt was
placed in the sewer trenches last
spring when they caved in and he paid

authorities state that the dirt was put

and was again paid for by the owner
of the lots. Not satisfied with this

A MATTER OF DELAY.


1t is useless to sernlonize on the
matter of the coal shortage in this
part of the country at this time when,
in the words of President Cleveland,
at is a condition and not a theory
which confronts u.s." The first re-
corded attempt at sermonizing was
that of Noah just before the time came
for him to enter the ark, and while his
hearers probably laughed at the old
man as visionary, they refused to
be convinced by his arguments. They
considered that they were having
theory and not condition presented
to them.
There seems TO be two reasonable
solutions for the fuel shortage. One
is the development of the Ignite coal
fields of our own state SO that We will
not be compelled to depend upon the
PlOuuStS VI lllS iClQS vi
Pennsylvania, and the bituminous
fields of Ohio, Indiana, Maryland and
West Virginia. 1t is absurd to be-
lieve that we can have the fuel sup
ply for this country shipped from
these points from fifteen hundred to
two thousand miles removed, and not
experience some irregularity in the
supply when the railroads are COM
PEELED to battle with the snow and
storms of the north
The other method of avoiding these
famines is to have the supply largely
delivered during the early fall months
while the roads are in condition to
handle freight without the delays
that must necessarily come when they
are drifted over with snow. No
statistics have been gathered on the
matter but it is a decidedly safe guess
that the fuel dealers throughout the
state did not have sufficient supply
Of coal on hand at the opening of the
winter to fill the orders of their Gus
toners for two weeks. Neither did
these customers have supply until
cold weather forced them to make
their orders. Had the consumers laid
in months supply in the early win
ter and the dealers in addition to this
supply placed sufficient amount in
their bins to last another month even
and then kept that supply constantly
replenished, there would have been no
coal famine.
But whether from a disposition to
prevent their money from being tied
up so long without interest or from
some other cause, it is fact that
when the recent cold spell came, there
was not half hundred dealers in the
entire state who had anything like a
safe supply on hand. The extra run
on these dealers soon exhausted their
supply and in few days every body
was out. This coming on the eve of
the snow storms which blockaded the
railroads and made it next to impos-
sible to move passenger and mail
trains, much less freights, all COM
bined to produce the condition which
has resulted in the present coal fam
inc.
Next year We will repeat the same
thing and suffer the same penalty,
forgetting the experience of the pres
ent time. But the only safe way to
avoid these things is to keep supply
on hand sufficient to tide over any
blockade of the roads.
