NORTH Dakota has been and
still is the cynosure of all eyes.
For is not her wealth per capita
greater than any other state, her
soil the richest, her crops the
best? The reports of the marvel
lous prosperity OF the state have
brought within its borders at the
present time all army of tram
sients. Many come seeking in
vestment in the rich lands of the
the state; many are looking up
new homes under the free home
stead act; many come to help
harvest the bumper crop, to tend
hocks and herds, or to earn a
livelihood in other lines of work.
But there are also a horde of
thugs and parasites who will not
work but who lie in wait to rob,
despoil and murder. These are
the people who are committing
crimes in this state today and not
Dakotans. These transients who
came from the shocked east
which holds up its hands in holy
horror at the era of crime in
North Dakota. Let the laws be
enforced and tramps, thugs and
all the idle class of living para
sites be made to 60 where they
belong and the eastern states will
have no cause to point the finger
of scorn at North Dakota.

TALKS OF PRESIDENT
j. A. Ferris Tells tho Fo.
rum Of the Ranch Days
Of the Man In the White
House.


Roosevelt is all right. W. think
there is no man like him. said J. A. Fer
rs of Medora, who is spending a few
days in Fargo visiting his daughter.
Mr.. Ferris and his brother, S. NJ. Fer.
Ferris, o Of the Dickinson land office,
were the companions, guides and help
ers of President Roosevelt during the
period when he was roughing it and
running a cattle ranch in the Bad Lands,
and both were intimately associated with
the present chief executive of the United
States.
When pressed to tell some of his ex'
periences with Roosevelt, Mr.. Ferris
stated that there had been so many
yarns and falsehoods related about
Roosevelt's life at Medora that he was
a little reluctant to say anything. He
did, however, consent to relate a few
things about the years when he went
hunting with Roosevelt, rode OF round
ups and slept in the same with him
"My brother and | went to Medora in
1881" he said; two years later, in the
fall of 1883, Roosevelt came out. He
spent about two or three weeks there
and l acted as his guide on his first
buffalo hunt in the iall of 1883. Many
people are under the impression that
Roosevelt lived at Medora for some time
That is a mistake. He was engaged in
the cattle business there from 1883 tc
1896 and my brother managed his ranch
for him, but he never lived there steadily
He used t come out in the spring and
fall and spend from two weeks to two
months"
AS an incident illustrating the charac'
teristic stickatitiveness and determination
of Roosevelt, Mr.. Ferris said that the
FIRST winter after Roosevelt had become
engaged in the cattle business at Me-
dora was an unusually evere one anc
most Of the stock in that part of the
country persisted. Roosevelt lost about
90 per cent of the 5000 head which he
purchased.
Many of the cattle men in the BAG
Lands quit business after that winter
feeling that their losses had been toe
heavy, but lot so with Roosevelt. HI
stuck to it for thirteen years and wher
he sold out at the end of that time hae
not only more than made up for his
losses but his cattle had earned SOM
interest on his investment.

First Move to Prevent Use Of Mil

DEMENT, BROS. COMPANY ARE MOVERS
SEEK TO AMEND PRESENT CON-
PLANT IN SUIT AGAINST
WALLA WALLA.

The first attempt made by riparian
owners to enjoin the city from using
the waters of Mill creek for the new
gravity water system has been taken
by the Dement, Brothers company. The
fact that the Dement, company has
taken the initial step in the litigation
that is expected to follow the action
of the city in using Mill creek as a
source of supply cropped out at Tues
day nights council meeting through a
communication to the council from
Sharpstein & Sharpstein and City At
torney Blandford, urging that the city
employ a competent man and one as
sistant to make measurements of the
water of Mill creek and tributaries for
The attorneys urged that it was of
considerable Importance that measure
ments be taken, commencing not later
than June Is. 1t was stated that the
Dement, Brothers company has offered
an amendment to their complaint in
the suit brought against the city and
others, in which an attempt is being
made to enjoin the city from the di-
version of the waters of Mill creek in
to the new water system. The attor-
neys stated that on behalf of the city
they have objected to the amendment
offered by the Dement, company and to
the testimony offered Hereunder, and
that they are not in any way alarmed
as to the result of these attempted
proceedings. 1t was further stated to
the council that if when the new sys
ed that the Dement, Brothers company
are thereby deprived of any water ne
cessary for water power in the opera
ton of their flour mill plant, the city
will either have to agree with the
company as to the amount of cOmpen-
sation to be made to them for such
water, or institute condemnation pro-
ceedings to ascertain the compensation
to be made to them in the event
mutual understanding cannot be reach
ed. AS a basis for determining this
question, together with the important
question of the rights Of other people,
the attorneys stated that it was ex-
tremely important that the measure
mems be made most thoroughly and
completely and they should cover a
considerable period of time.
The whole matter was referred to
the water committee.
