Point on Legislative Control.

ty Maryland, against Samuel BAN
croft, Jr, involving the right OF the
commissioners 20 levy taxes on the
property Of the Baltimore, Chesapeake
a Atlantic Railway. which is mort
gagged TO secure the companys bonds.
has been decided by the Supreme Court
Of the United states favorably to tho
contentious Of the Commissioner. The
company claimed Immunity for taxa
ton under it's charter md fought the
case on the ground that the EFFORT at
taxation WAS a violation OF contract
and therefore In conflict with the Fed
eral Constitution.
Justice Holmes delivered the opinion
OF the court. He said eve are Of
opinion that the Court Of Appeals Of
Maryland was right IN holding that the
legislation Of 1886 directing new as
I sessment of the property Of the state
and expressly declaring that the pro-
perty OF every railroad In the State
should be valued and essessed for
county and municipal purposes had the
effect to Withdraw the prior exemption
from taxation II a proper construction
OF the legislation Of the state would
extend II to the property Of the re-
organized company The act contains
the significant proviso that nothing
therein contained shol be held to dis
charge. release, IMPAIR or affect any ir-
repenlablo' contract or obligation OF
any kind whatsoever existing at the
date OF the possage OF the act This
proviso shows the legislative interest
to repeal exemptions from taxation
which were not protected by bindinf
contracts beyond legislative control q
any such existed, and 10 bring all pro.
perty within the taxing power OF thu

JOE DIETRICH'S LETTER
FORMER BlsMARcKER GIVES
SOME GOOD POINTS ON THE
STOCK MARKET. ,

Chicago, Aug. %, 1906.--With 1000
range, and $4,000 native cattle yester-
day, the market showed weakness
from the start on all grades. The
best kinds of range cattle sold prob
ably steady, with the high points of
last week, but all others sold lower.
Today, with moderate receipts, the
situation is unchanged. Prospects
for the week look like fairly liberal
supplies, and if so, perhaps values will
be weak 1t is the season of the year
when we must expect liberal con-
signments from all sections of the
range, and the best that we can hope
Present prices are quite satisfactory
to the owners, and if your cattle are
sufficiently matured to stand shipment
fairly well, we think you should let
them come, avoiding having too many
on any one days market, by distribut-
ing your cattle throughout the weeks
of the season now remaining. We be-
lieve this plan will give you better
satisfaction than to undertake to hit
the good markets and escape the bad
| ones. When you get ready to ship
your cattle, do not forget the consign-
ment to Evans-Snider-Buel company,
and If you do, I am sure you will make
no mistake. Hoping to hear from you
soon, or see you with us, we are,
Yours truly,
Evans-Snider-Buel Company,
By Jos. Dietrich.

Clark Let Loose,

There is an interesting bit of his
tory connected with the manner in
which Colonel A. P. Peake of Valley
city, and other North Dakota, Mime
sofa and Michigan men made Senator
Clark let go of some OF his valuable
mining holdings near Anaconda. The
mine In question was the Black Rock,
one OF the richest In all Montana. 1t
was not supposed f1e would seH It, but
he did to the newly organized com
pany, the Butte & Superior Copper
company, at s4oo. 900, 80 per cent Of
which he received in stock. The
North Dakota man and his friends
were interested In Montana property
and looked about for some way In
which to make the senator let go of
the Black Rock group. They diseoV-
cred that Senator Clark wanted the
Pilot claim and they secured an
option upon 1t. lassoing IT SO tight that
no one would get II away Then they
resumed negotiations with Mr.. Clark
ard succeeded ii putting through a
blg deal which resulted IN the organ.

Editor Stratton of Westhope, who
was welded last week, went out to his
claim with his bride to spend the
honeymoon, leaving the devil and a

prairie neighbors learning of the ar

in an appearance the night after their
arrival with COW bells, tin pans and
horns to give them an ovation and
serenade. Somehow they acquired

DREADFUL TIMES.

e. Verify, dreadful times have come
upon the country. So dreadful are
they that the vocabulary of the Grand
Forks Herald is inadequate to
describe them in all their hopeless
ness and the New York Suns editorial
columns have been drawn upon to
paint the blank, black picture. The
Sun says New York is in dreadful
state. The people have had no voice
In the selection of officers. .Ts there"
asks the Sun dramatically, con officer
who is the choice of the people of
this state. !" And then it answers
owlishly: Not one," All to the &C
compartment of falling tears and in
glorious lamentations.
The Herald falls upon the Sun edi-
torial with all the avidity of long
starved pessimism, and says it ap-
plies equally well to North Dakota.
Well, perhaps it does. And it applies
perhaps equally well to thirty or forty
other states in the union, which is to
say that it does not apply at all. The
Herald, it is plain to be seen, is about
7 to show another fit of melancholy and
despair. The liver of the nissan
fhropic gentleman who dips into the
Herald ink and .streaks the bright sky
with indigo blue is working badly
again. The Herald is the large bull
frog in the marsh, that, listening to
the sound of its own voice, remarks
how all the world is croaking.
How dreadful it all is! With gold

In the bountiful favors of nature, how
dreadful it is that the voice of the
people is not heard. The voice of the
people, of course, is the voice of the
