An UNTENABLE DEFENSE,

What good to the people of North

who was ever actuated by high and

AS 1t appeared to him-simply for

Crooked men are shifty by nature.
Therefore it is that the Impossible

depredations upon the public treasury,
makes some yelled counter-charges

to public printing matters. He gives

Since August, 1904, the state printers
have been the parties to the nefarious

that quarter. AS to the Inter-Ocean,
its county printing bills of some years

istry nor platitudinous reasonings may
sidetrack.
True it is that in the printing trade.
as in almost every line of business,
there exists what is known as trade
discount; that is to say, persons en-
gagged in the printing business may
have work in their line performed in
institutions other than their own and
the institution doing such work divide
the regular profits arising therefrom
with the party placing the order; but
so far as we know this business cour-
tesy is confined exclusively to those
engaged in the printing or publishing
business, and there is certainly no
warrant for nor justice in extending
this courtesy to public officials who
are paid literally for attending to the
duties of their Office and who are
bound, legally and morally, to safe
guard the interests of their constitu-
ency to the best of their abilities. On
the contrary, transactions of the char
acter of which the Richland county

be countenanced by honest, right
thinking men.

wALHALLA FIRE.
Thos. Fleming Suffers Heavy Loss
From Fire Of Unknown Origin.

Special to The Evening Tines.
Walhalla. N. D., Sept. TO- Mr..
Thomas Fleming, four miles north of,
Walhalla, met with severe loss from
fire Tuesday. Mr.. Fleming runs Il
threshing machine and that night had
the crew at his home. Several of the
men slept in the ha'' loft of the large
barn, and a little after twelve O'clock,
midnight, they were wakened by the

smell of burning hay. Turning out to
the floor below. the whole stable was
found to be In blaze and in spite Of
all they could do everything was de-

Wy horses. harness. about ten tons of
hay, two hundred bushels of last years

The flames also spread to log gran

nearly four thousand dollars and was
only partially covered by insurance
perhaps twenty-five per cent.
The origin of the fire is, of course
shrowded in mystery. 1t is stated
that all of the men sleeping in the
loft were asleep by fifteen minutes
after ten o'clock. Mr.. John Fleming
and the engineer had been to town to
get some repairs and returned home
shortly before twelve o'clock and when
they left the stable everything was ap-

out that the fire was discovered. 1t is

Fleming has no theory as to how
it happened. While the loss to Mr.

THE SANE OLD HANDICAP.

If it were not so absurdly ridiculous
the attempt of the Herald, as per Sun
days issue, to explain it's political
record would be pitiful. The explana-
ton of its politics is not nearly as
complete, however, as the explanation
it made of its connection with the
printing steal, because that was an
open confession of guilt.
The Herald" it says, expects to
take an active part in the sampaign. Its
convictions and sympathies are and
have been republican" And then, pre-
supposing, OF course, that its readers
are anxiously waiting for further
guidance, eager to be fooled by the
Herald just once more, it says:
With the political convictions of
many years unchanged, and without
at this time entering into a detailed
consideration of state politics. The
Herald expresses the belief now, on
the eve of the fall campaign, that the
welfare and the usefulness of the re-
publican party, national and state. will
be promoted by a substantial reduc-
ton of the North Dakota majorities Of
two years ago.
A most artistic epitome Of the
Herald's whole political history, in
Guiding those days when its editor, in
another state, was copperhead and
declared Grand to be butcher"
Pursuant to the terms of this re-
markable declaration, the Impossible
Winship himself, and as many more
as he may be able to pursuade, will
vote the democratic ticket, the Herald
meanwhile pretending to be an advo-
cate of republican principles. Is 1t
not fair exhibition of Winshipism?
And so also with regard to the up
building of Grand Forks. If the
growth of the city suits the purpose Of
the Herald it will condescend to ap-
prove, always with more or less reser-
walton, but If the natural accretion Of
population and wealth is not to its
liking the dog-in-the-mangerp policy Of
the Herald will never fail of assertion.
Yes, the Herald wants the republican
party to succeed II its bilious editor
can be the boss and do the printing at
non-competitive or trust prices, with
an occasional landOffice job thrown in.
1t will also consent, though reluctant
ly, to the city's taking on metropolitan
proportions if old prosperity will first
consult the Herald-if it may decide
who shall come here for residence and
investment and who shall not.

COUNTY DRAINAGE PROBLEM.

In discussing the problem of drain
age and its necessity in the valley,
States Attorney ]. B.. Wineman
has made some suggestions recently
which seem worthy of careful consider
alton. 1t is his opinion that the
promiscuous methods Of drainage at
present being carried on are not by
any means conducive to the best re-
suits. 1t is advanced that if the drain
age OF the county was controlled by a
commission, having the power to
regulate the laying of bitches in such
manner that they would all lead to
a natural outlet. the results would
be far more satisfactory than those
obtained at present. AS it is now the
main intent of those laying bitches is
to drain the water off their own land
regardless Of where it stops or who is
injured by so doing. One township
drains its surplus water on to another
and oftimes in such manner that
the further drainage of the water by
the township thus made an unwelcome
recipient, is greatly retarded. in fact
made almost impossible. 1t is sug-
gested that commission. similar to
the state commission, should be APP
pointed in each county and that when
drains and bitches are to be put in
the best possible outlet with the ulti-
mate end in view Of conveying the
water to some stream or coulee be
sought out and the ditch or drain laid
with that in view. The states attorney
belives that the expense would be little
in comparison to the good results OBJ
tanned and that from such system
profitable and lasting drainage would
be certain.

CARNEGIE DEFENDS ROOSEVELT

Debates Presidents Spelling Reform
Movement Originated In Motherlsnd.
Associated Press to The Evening T1nes-
New York, Sept. 10.-A London dis
patch to the Times says that Andrew
Carnegie in q letter to the London
Times returns to his defence of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's spelling order and his
advocacy of spelling reform. He says:
so far from being ditinctively Amer
lean. the presidents proposed changes
In spelling are selected by the simpli-
fled spelling board from fully 5000
words agreed upon and jointly recon-
mended in 1883 by the Pathological
socitey of London and the American
Pathological association. The list will
be found at the end of the last volume
Of the Century dictionary; also the ten
rules agreed up in making the changes.
This reform therefore comes from phil
Ologfsts of the whole race. Indeed
Prof. Skeat states in the Scotsman that
the list was actually prepared in the
motherland, there needs only that one
step be taken by your government to
continue this race reform, namely, the
appointment of such a committee as
advised our government what words
to select from the larger list for i'm
mediate adoption. I doubt not that
it would endorse the selection made
for the president by the American
board and the language would be one.
1t is never to be forgotten that amend
ed spellings can only be submitted for
general acceptance, it Is the people
who decide what is to be adopted or
rejected. That tn two governments
agreed jointly to submit certain
changes. however. would no doubt re-
suit In the eventual adoption of many. >.

COUNCILS BUSY YEAR.

Next year will be an exceptionally
busy and important one for the city
council. The city will advance several
PAGES in its efforts to thoroughly
modernize the municipality. The work
will require herculean efforts on the
part of those charged with its admins
tration.
The most important matter with
which the council will have to deal is
that of paving. This question was
taken up several months ago by the
Commercial club and committee of
that organization is now in existance
for the purpose of investigating the
best plans for this important city i'm
provement, and at the same time con-
sidering the very material point of cost.
This committee is working in harmony
with the proper city officials and out of
this double effort something tangible
ought to result
But with this preliminary work done,
the responsibility of the city council
Is still great. That body is working
not only for the present but for the fu-
ture of the city. If it were a mere mat
ter of the present there would be no
trouble to select the cheapest plan of
paving and putting it into effect. But
it is for the future that the most i'm
portant consideration must be given.
The lasting quality of the paving must
be considered. and the council is there
fore confronted with something in the
nature of an Irish bull-the pavement
which will last the longest and at the
least original cost. Whether the wis
dom of the council will be able to solve
this proposition is as yet unknown,
but it can come as near the solution as
any similar body in the country
The need of paving the principal
streets Of the city is acknowledged by
all progressive citizens, and any ac-
ton the city council and direction
which the Commercial club may take
will be loyalty supported by the entire
public.
Another matter to which the council
will be compelled to give consideration
next year is the enlargement of the
city's filtration plant. The experience
this season of being compelled to shut
off the pure water supply of the city
at time when it is most essential to
the health of the community, that the
filtration plant might be cleaned, could
in all probability not be repeated with
out considerable risk to the health of
the community. The risk is too ser

ious for the city to take except under
the most pressing necessity. and the
council will probably be confronted
with the responsibility of providing
for this enlargement.
The placing underground of the
electric wires of the city, and the
hundred other things which will come
up unexpectedly during the progress of
the work indicated, will give the alder
men an opportunity of earning their
salaries several times over during the
next few months. 1

A LARGE REWARD.
Associated Pres. to The Evening Time.

ASSOCIATED Press TO The Evening Times.
Duluth. Sept. 10.-A reward of 81, $50
is now offered for any information that
will lead to the arrest and conviction
of the person or persons who foIlly
murdered Freddie Mitchell. the 12-
year-old son of r. B. Mitchell, of Bur-
nett, last Monday evening. This
amount is very likely to be increased
as soon as the state authorities are
heard from.
The relatives of the murdered boy
have raised $500 of this amount, and
this morning President Olcott of the
Duluth, Missabe Northern Railway
company, near whose right of way the
boy was killed, offered to increase the
amount by 500, making total of ST.
600 from the railway company and the
relates.
This morning several members of
the county got together in a special
meeting and authorized the appropria-
ton of $500 from the county treasury
to be offered as reward for the ar
rest and conviction of the author of
SO revolving crime.
The Duluth Humane society is TAX
ing steps to offer traditional $50 to
the aggregate reward SO that total
of $3.50 is already provided for.
Humane Officer Withrow has tele-
graphed Governor Johnson, at St.
Paul, asking II the state will also offer
a reward and County Attorney Nc
Clintock has written the state execu-
tive making the same request.
Mr.. Mitchell, the father of the muir
dered boy has offered 800 reward to
which is added the offer Of Louis
Ramstead Of Duluth, the boys uncle,
of another 500. William Clifford,
president Of a local dredge company
has offered 500 reward. This makes
the $500 offered by the relatives and
friends of the family.
1t is practically certain that the
state will offer an additional sum of
money in reward, but the exact
amount will not be known until the
governor is heard from.
1t is believed that the large reward
In addition to the intense desire of all
classes of people in the city and the
vicinity to bring the murderer to JUS
tice. will stimulate most thorough
search for the monster. and clues that
may lead to his apprehension.
The people at Burnett, where the
horrible murder was committed, and
at West Duluth, the boys home, are
greatly wrough up over the affair and
are willing to do anything which will
