The trial of Anton Sor, charged
with the murder OF his brother Joseph
Sor, is proceeding rapidly at Grafton.
Last night the state rested in its
direct testimony, and this morning.
the defense started, Tracy Bangs
making the opening address to the
jury. He stated that he would show
the character Of Joseph sor as re.
CARDS fighting tendencies. and would
try to prove that Anton had killed
his brother in self-defense.
Frank Sor, father of the dead man
and of the prisoner, was on the stand
this morning in behalf of Anton sor.
Frank sor, who is unable to speak
English, told the story of an attack
on him by Joseph Sor. His testimony
was for the purpose of showing the
quarrelsome nature Of the dead man.
James sor son of the dead man,
was on the stand yesterday. He is but
years old, and very little could be
gotten out Of him relative to the af-
fair.
VIM. Nmmie was also on the stand.

Geiser manufacturing Co. Mr.. Lake
covers the northern half of the state
for his company, and he says that
there is practical stagnation at present
in business circles because of the
grain blockade.
"All the elevators are FULL" he said
In discussing the matter, land the
grain is being dumped on the ground
in huge piles. At New Rockford,
where l make my home, there is one
huge pile, containing 10000 bushels of
wheat Much the same conditions exist
all over my territory. But where the
Great Northern and 500 reach the
same district the people are not suffer-
Ing SO much from car shortage. They
claim 1t is because there is competition
and 1t looks very much like it, for
on other branches of the two roads
the car shortage is very marked"
In spite Of the grain blockade Mr..
White considers business conditions
very good.
Considering all the circumstances
business has been very good" he said
"and collections have been coming IN
pretty we'll. During the past three
years the western port of the state
has experienced tide Of prosperity
which has placed most of the people
In good circumstances, enabling the
farmers to pay of their mortgages and
get fresh start; and where the farm
ers are prosperous the towns are sure
to be in the same way"
A prominent local banker, in dis.
cussing the grain situation today said
that it seems to be improving a little,
as from what he could learn there had
been a considerable increase in the
number of cars received of late at the
terminal points in Minneapolis and at
the head of the lakes.
Even after shipments begin to be
made in large quantities it will take
some time before the effect is notice.

said, for the wheat has to be shipped
to Duluth, placed in elevators, weighed
and sold and the money received come
back here and be placed in circulation
before the improved condition will be

Charge on Which He is
Being Tried.

IN the opinion Of the prosecution
Edward E. Hazen, charged with
suoornation Of perjury. made many
admissions this morning while under
severe cross-examination by Assist.
ant United States Attorney B. D..
Townsend.
Hazen is charged with having Sc
cured a young man named Robert
Everett to file and prove up on a
certain piece of land near Glenburn.
Bottineau county, for the benefit Of
the defendant in the action. Such a
procedure is contrary to the laws Of
the department of the interior.
Among the exhibits at the trial was
contract drawn up between Everett
and Hazen to the effect that Everett
should turn the land over to HAGEN
upon the payment of a certain sum
This contract was sworn to and sub.
scribed before Attorney Lesueur of
Minot.
Some time before this contract was
drawn up. Hazen secured a relin-
quishment from man who had form
erly filed on the land. Mr.. Hazen then
went to the. Office of Attorney L.
sueur, told, him Of the REIMBURSEMENT
he had, and also that he had intended
to bring his father to the state from
Ohio to prove up on the land. This
his father was unable to do, and it is
claimed. that in order to make It i'm
possible for any one else to file on
the land, that Hazen started friend
ly contest.
Hazen is then alleged to have Sc
cured Everett to file on the land. On
the stand Hazen admitted that he
wanted the land, and also that the
contract was drawn up.
The case may go to the jury this

evening, though It ID not certain at
this time.
On the stand yesterday afternoon
Attorney Lesueur testified that he
had told Everett and Hazen that the
contract drawn up was an illegal one.
Hazen claims that LeSueur did not
tell him this.
The defense is that Hazen was not
aware that when he drew up the con-
tract and made the agreement that he
was doing anything unlawful, that he
had seen others do the same thing,
and did not think 1t wrong.

appointed, and the work will then be
taken up.
This convention was called by the
council of Grand Forks for the pur-
pose of getting representatives here
Of the various incorporated cities of
the state to talk over changes that
should be made in city charters. The
convention will in all probability
adopt resolutions recommending to
the legislature certain changes that
would be beneficial to the various
communities. One idea Is to simplify
the charter regulations in some re-
spects, though it cannot be said at
this time just what action will be
taken, or what matters will come up
for consideration.

Irrigation In the West.
lBy D. w. Norris, of GrinnelLl

The Mesa land is very much superior
to the lower or bottom land 1t has no
holes or marshy places, or willow
growths, and it can not overflow. 1t
seemed unbelievable that the same
river, flowing 100 feet beneath furnish
ed the water for the Mesa, but it does.
All of this Mesa that can be watered
with the present supply is under Guilt
walton, and under a very high state of
cultivation. With the completion of
this project all the Mesa clear down
to Relta and on to Ionia will come I'M
der cultivation.
There are plenty of opportunities here
to enter lands under the homestead
act, and l must say that | am very
much surprised to find that they are
not all taken. One of the gentlemen
connected with the government land
office assured me that if man would
come there he could soon find a good
claim, we'll located, and that a great
many entries would be cancelled, prin-
cipally for the reason that they had
been made by people who had not COM
piled with the law as to residence. He
says there fine claims will be dropping
right along into the hands of. the for
tunate fellows who are on the ground
ready to file, the moment a man finds
a good claim not occupied, with no evil
dences of recent occupation. All he
has to do is to file and contest.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

"a right primary system does moi
obstruct but facilitates the work OF
the great and erudite leaders and ex-
Founders in instructing the party as
to the adoption, formulation and main
tenance OF party principles argues
the Ackley Inter-County Journal. THE
opponents of all primary measures OF
any kind are either bosses or bene-
| ficiaries of bossisn, or those who per-
chance have no faith in the wisdom
of the electorate, which lack of faith
is antagonistic to true republicanism.
| Referring to the wide primary
the Mt Vernon Record says: ''The
standpat brethren are opposed to it, be-
cause it gives less chance to pack con-
ventions, and thus keep control. In
other words 1t gives the people a
| chance to do the nominating them
selves. They know just what chance
they stand if they go before the peo-
pie"
"By all means make LATE Young the
standpat candidate for governor
agrees the Manson Journal 1--WE
don't know of man in the state that
would give us more pleasure to put
the hooks into than Lafe."
The Sioux City Journal considers 1t
"a safe conclusion that there Is mo-
where popular cutlery for any more
states like Nevada. 1t is not believed
that senators from Arizona and New
Mexico would add strength to the SEN
ate from the popular point of view. 1t
is a concession to let the two territories
in as one state, and even such admis-
sion might be matter of subsequent
regret"
Commenting on the Burlington
Hawkeye's conception that standpat-
tiers are gleeful over the possible en-
terng OF Colonel Lafayette Young in
the race for the republican nomination
for governor, the Waterloo Courier
remarks: II the conception is found
ed in fact, joy within the party will
be unconfned for surely the colonel's
aspirations are causing no end of felic-
itation within the Cummins' camp"
The Hampton Chronicle says: The
governors message is a good one and
thls payer can lidofSe an OF us except
the proposed statewide primary law"
AS the Spencer Reporter sees 1t THE
question in Iowa politics is whether
the republicans OF Iowa are to have
the leadership of the party at Burling-
ton or whether they will have it some
where else. II 1t IS to go to Burling-
ton it means cooperative control. Mr.
Blythe is a clean man personally, but
he believes in railroad control. He is
