Splendid Showing Of Fargo in Net Receipts as Compared TO
Grand Forks and Sioux Falls.

Fargo continues to be one Of the
best cities in the country for Uncle
Sans postal business. The report of
the auditor of the postoffice depart
ment just issued and for the year end
ing June 80, 1905, shows that this city
continues in TIE lead of the two other
important cities in North Dakota and
South Dakota, Grand Forks and Sioux
Falls, and that business here is still
on the increase.
The net receipts. of the local Office
were nearly $4,000 more than the gross
receipts of the Grand Forks office,
while the expense here was but a trife
over $4,000 more. The business of the
Grand Forks Office has, however, in
creased considerably over that of last
year.
The increase noted in the postal re-
ceipts of the second-class offices
throughout the state is the most nota-

HENRY SUBTLE is NO MORE.
The First White Settler in Bismarck
Passes Away.

~ = III III ~
Passes Away.
Henry Suttle died at Bismarck Of a
complication of diseases after an ILL.,
ness covering several weeks. He was
81 years old.
Henry Suttle came to what is now
Bismarck in 1869, being the first white
man to settle in these parts. For a
time he was a woodchopper on Sibley
island and sold wood to passing
steamers. March /, 1875, he filed the
seventh homestead entered in this
land district, which then comprised all
that part of the state west of the
west Stutsman county line. He was
the first ran to begin farming in this
county and the tres now standing on
what was his tree claim, just south Of
town, were probably among the first
planted in the state by man.
A man of sterling, upright character.
he was admired and esteemed by all
who came to know him. OF rather
quiet and retiring manner, he still had
elements which drew people to him
and made lasting friends of them.
He was a prominent and faithful mem
Der of the Methodist church, from
which he was buried.
Failing in health, Mr.. Suttle had
planned spending the winter in Cali.
fornia with his wife, but another will
than his has planned otherwise.
His death has not been unexpected,
as for the past few days he has been
in a comatose state, only his remark
able vitality keeping alive the spark
of life. Mr.. Suttle has been a good
citizen, n that Bismarck can lily
spare, and those many friends who
shared with him the hardships and
trials, good times and bad, of pioneer
days have lost another comrade whose
place cannot be filled in the memories
of the past.

SHEA, WAS CONFIRMED.
Appointment as U. s. Marshal for
North Dakota Approved by Senate.

- y "fHi0sS0 ~ SSitoSSs
The appointment of J. F. Shea to be
United States marshal for the district
of North Dakota has been confirmed
by the United States senate in execu-
tive session. At the federal building
it is the prevailing opinion that Mr..
Shea will not assume the duties of his
Office until after the first Of the year.
At. the present time Gilbert Haggart
is acting United States marshal. He
was appointed by Judge Amidon i'm
mediately after the death of John E.
Haggart. Practically all Of the for
mer United States marshaIs affairs
have now been arranged.
In a recent interview Mr.. Shea stat
ed that he would make no change in
the personnel of the marshal's force of
deputies, at least rot until after the
term Of United States Marshal Hag-
CART would have expired had he lived.
Mr.. Shea will take up his residence in
Fargo soon after Christmas, but his
family will continue to reside in Wah-
peton until next fall, when they will
move to Fargo.
James F. Shea. the new United
States marshal, has been identified
with the upbuilding and development
of North Dakota for over a quarter of
a century. He was born in Allegheny
county, N. Y, July IS; 1865, a son of
jeremiah and Bridget Shea, natives of
County Kerry, Ireland, who also came
to North Dakota. The father died in
Wahpeton in 1886, at the advanced
age Of 81, and the mother died in the
same place in 1891 at the age of SO.
In 1873 James F. Shea first arrived
in North Dakota, where for a few
years he was in the government en-
ploy. Subsequently he spent a few
months in the Black Hills and then
moved to Richland county, where he
took up a homestead.

stockholm's Bio Auditorium.

Stockholm has started a movement
for a large music hall or auditorium.
Those at the head of the movement
have suggested that a site on Linnee
sweet be secured by the city for the
en- tprise. Plans have already been
prepared, but no funds have been
raised. The plans call for a magnif-
cent building of stone and fireproof
material, to cost not less than 100000
kroner. 1t is to contain two halls, one
to seat 5000 and the other 800 people,
tour smaller halls for rehearsals and
other necessary rooms.

CALLED "sWEDE's" CHURCH.
Abandoned Building on Ancient Site
Bears Distinguished Name.

Abandoned Building on Ancient Site
Bears Distinguished Name.
On the site Of the old log church
built by the firsc Swedish colonists in
1888 on the banks of Christiania creek,
n what is now Wilmington, Del, there
stands a church which to this day is
known as the "Swede's" church, al
though no Swedish services have been
held there for more thun a century.
The old log church stood for nearly
sixty years, when it was replaced by
The present stone church. 1t is related
that the women of the colony carried
the stone for the walls, while the men
cared the structure.
In the little churchyard 1921 bodies
lc.Ta been buried. The earliest tomb
stone bears the date 1856. There are
20 be read epitaphs to soldiers of the
Revolution and names Of families that
we're prominent in the stirring times of
1776. Perhaps the most important
graves are those of the Bayard family,
which is of Swedish descent. Richard
Bassett Bayard died Aug. 16, 1915. He
was a member of the, council Of safety
in 1776 and a member Of the constitu-
tional convention in that same year.
He was a United States senator from
Delaware from 1879 to 1893, and was
the first senator to cast his vote in
favorsof locating the capital on the Po-
tomac. He was governor Of Delaware
from 1899 to 1901, and from then until
1902 he was a United States. circuit
fudge.
The grave Of James A. Bayard is
near by. He was both a congressman
and a senator, and in 1918 was ap-
pointed one Of the commissioners for
the treaty OF Client. Richard H. Bay
ard, another son, lies near. In his life
he was a United States senator and a
chief justice, and was also the first
mayor of Wilmington, in 1882.
Thomas Francis Bayard's grave is
the freshest tablet in the Bayard fam
lily vault. He died Sept. 20, 1898.

mess transacted at the local office, at
tention is called to the fact that If the
receipts of the offices at Minot, Bis
marck, jamestown, Devils Lake, Val.
ley City and Wahpeton were added to-
gether the amount would still be less
than $4,000 Of as much as the net re-
ceipts of the local Office. The net re.
'ceipts of the Minot office are nearly
half as much as the net receipts Of the
Grand Forks office, and more than one
fifth of the net. receipts of the Fargo
office.
The showing made by Minot in net
receipts is partly accounted for by the
fact that the free delivery system was
only in force a few days during the
postal year, and the expense credited
to that account was only $108.6 4
whereas the Bismarck Office is charg-
ed with $1,760.S7 on account of free
delivery.
The record of the second-class Of
fees in the state for the year ending
June 80, 1905, were as follows:
Bismarck .$14, 1854
JAMESTOWN 15,SS4.S9
Minot Observation-Disclosures. 11,817.13
Valley City 1O,462.9 81
Wahpeton 100000
The greatest increase is shown in
the Minot Office and the least increase
In the Wahpeton Office.
1t Is in the expense account column
that Fargo makes a great showing, in
dicating that the local land Office is a
bread winner for Uncle Sam. The
net receipts here are nearly three
times as much as the total expense,
whereas the net receipts Of other
offices in the state and the Sioux Falls
Office are only a little more than the
total expense.

christiania Should Be Named Oslo.

"Why not restore to Christiania its
ancient name of Oslo?" asks a contrib
utor to Dagbladet. Now that the king
has changed his name to Haakon and
given the name of Olav to the crown
prince, it would be quite consistent to
give to the capital of Norway the dis
tinctive and historical name of Oslo.
The change might create some confu-
sion at first, he admits, but within a
year it would be universally known.
Haakon and Oslo are SO closely asso-

Our Railroad MILEAGE.

The construction of the Illinois Cen
trail to Haleysyille has been let, and
the extension is to be completed this
year, and that great company will then
begin to dispatch trains to and from
this city and district. At the same
time the Mobile and Ohio will be added
TO our transportation facilities. These
great additions will become possible on
or about January l, 1907.
The addition to our direct railroad
mileage will be, on account of the COM
ing of the Illinois Central, 5549 miles,
and on account of the Mobile and Ohio,
$50 miles-a total of 6509 miles. This
will suffice for a single years work,
even without counting the Atlantic and
birmingham, which is throwing dirt in
a lively manner
But that is not all, for New York and
Chicago agree in saying that the E. H.
Hartman party has secured control of
the Illinois Central, and they control
the Union Pacific and its affiliated
lines. 1t is said that the Hartman in
terests hold enough shares to control
the Illinois Central, and that the Union
Pacific and the Illinois Central are to
be merged. If SO, this would add IT..
776 miles of railroad to the equipment
of this district. The Union Pacific owns
1000 miles of track; the Southern Pa
ciic, 9016 miles; the Chicago and
Alton, 900 miles, and the Kansas City
Southern. $40 miles, and all that mile
age is controlled by the Hartman
party. 1t will thus be seen that the
coming of the Illinois Central will
more than double our entire railroad
mileage.

Their Own Medicine.

The republican party is and long has
been a machine party a party of big
sticks, caucus domination and House
rules, and yet it rises up to protest
against united democratic action on
the part of about thirty democratic
Senators. The party that prospers un-

say word against any caucus ever

Republican caueuses for the purpose
of ensuring solid party action have

seems that Senator Lodge has discov-

is, neither of the Colorado Senators is

Blind TiQers in Alabama.

Congressman Bowie recently laid be-
fore the ways and means committee an
array of figures showing the number
of blind tigers in operation In dry
districts in various parts of the coun-
try. The Washington Post pronounces
the figures startling.
Mr.. Bowie's figures show that there
are in the state of Alabama 1892 fed
eral licenses and only 763 state licenses
or 829 blind tigers; Georgia, 1896 fed
eral licenses, $50 state licenses, and
966 "blind tigers; Delaware 423 fed
eral licenses, 900 state licenses, and 1873
blind tigers; Kentucky, 4052 federal
licenses, 1883 state licenses, and 2070
with no license; Louisiana, 1858 fed
eral licenses. 1862 state licenses, 2S06
blind tigers; Maine. GAO federal IL
censes, no state licenses, accordingly
$40 known blind tigers; Michigan.
$500 federal licenses, 5554 state IL
censes, and 1906 "blind tigers"
In the eight states cited Mr.. Bowie
showed that there are 1870 blind
tigers He expressed the belief that
full reports would show that there are
fully as many blind tigers" through
out the country as there are legalized
saloons, or that the federal government
issues twice as many licenses as all
the states combined.
Mr.. Bowie is endeavoring to induce
the ways and means committee to re-
port a bill introduced by him. which
prohibits the issuance by federal au-
thorities of liquor licenses to those
persons who have not complied with
state or municipal requirements. A
federal license does not, 1t is true, set
aside home laws, but Mr.. Bowie thinks
that il federal licenses were withheld
fewer "blind tigers" would be opened.

New Orleans Should Act.

New Orleans should demand at the
hands of Congress a federal quarah-
tine, both maritime and interstate. IL
can not afford to ask for less, for IN
1905 it had 10,S04 cases of yellow fever
and 1881 deaths. The scourge CONFESS
eel arose through the negligence OF
tie state quarantine authorities, and 1t
was finally rooted out by the marine
hospital service.
The fight was made by the marine
hospital service under all possible dis
advantages. The fever had gained a
foothold in many parts of the city be-
fore the marine hospital service was
asked to take charge of sanitary mat
ters. 1t faced the task resolutely, and
1t won a great victory.
But before the battle was won, New
Orleans had been vastly damaged. Her
trade and her reputation alike were
impaired, and that city can not afford
to let so-called states rights, or
bananas, or state officials, stand in the
way of adequate protection hereafter.
New Orleans should speak out. 1t
should demand federal quarantine on
broad lines, and what New Orleans de,
mands will be seconded by the states
