Special to The Eve.,.s Times.

Mandan. N. D., Nov. "a sad
accident occurred at one Of the homes
in the west part of town the result
OF which one boy Ezra Sanford, aged
about Is years. is dead, and his play
mate Of about the same age. Ed
McSorley, has something to remember
with regret all his life. It was an
other case of didn't know the gun

At the inquest the evidence proved
that the affair was purely accidental,
and that the boys were the very best

had gun which he borrowed from.
some one here in town for the pur-
pose of shooting rats. Sunday morn
Ing he had been shooting at a target
and when tired Of the sport left it at
the home where Sanford roomed and
boarded. In the afternoon he either
called for the gun, or else was there
for some other purpose, and when
leaving picked up the gun to take It
with him. Sanford was wiping tn.
dinner dishes and as McSorley turned
to leave Sanford said: about, face,

been followed by several others Of
lesser degree until the snow now
ranges from two to three and four feet
in some places. The snow fell on
ground that had not yet been stiffened
by frost, and to the loggers it seems
an improbability that there could be
thaw long enough to take of the
present covering that prevents the
ground freezing, until the spring rains
set in.

swampy localities have been the hard
est hit by the present conditions.
All preparations that were being
made to make this one of the busiest
winter seasons in the logging industry
have been abandoned to await a
change of weather that will better the
conditions for operation, and the con-
tractors do not look particularly
hopeful,

MANY C|T|ESW|LLBE
REPRESENTED At
MEETING
At Cr00kston on Wednesday,
Red River Valley Develop
ment League.
THE FIRST ANNUAL MEET
Of the 0rganization-Grand
Forward Movement Planned
by the Valley.
THE FIRST ANNUAL MEET

The first annual meeting of the Red
River Valley immigration and Devel-
opment association of Minnesota and
North Dakota will be held in Crooks
ton Wednesday. Word has been re-
ceived that all of the larger cities of
the section will have delegates pres
ent and the smaller towns are show
ing an enthusiasm that augurs well
for the movement.
The association was organized at a
conference of business men from diff
ferent cities in the Red River valley
in Crookston last September and the
past two months have been spent in
placing the objects and aims of the
organization before the different COM
lnercial clubs and organizations with
Il view Of seeking their cooperation.
The fundamental idea is to have a
central commercial club that will look
after the development Of the valley as
whole in the same manner as the
different clubs work for the benefit Of
individual cities and towns. 1t aims
to encourage growth in population and
development of resources.
First Broad Movement.
1t is the first movement that has
been broad enough to take In the en-
tire valley, obliterating state lines and
bringing the business men and their
interests in harmony The leading
spirits in the movement believe that
the best and most successful develop
ment will only come when all are
united and when the attractions and
inducements of the valley are placed
before the people as the conditions ex-
listing in natural geographical Sec
ton Of great fertility and productive
ness. Spasmodic efforts have been
made to give publicity to certain Sec
tons of the valley, but never has there
been concerted movement that gave

NEED FROST, NOT SNOW.
Loggers Have Been Hit Hard
Heavy Snowfall.

The present outlook for the loggers
in northern Minnesota is very dis
couraging. The heavy snow that fell
before the ground had chance to
freeze has caused a number of tn.
contractors to cease operations en-
tirely and others are figuring on clos
ing their camps unless there is a big
thaw very soon.
The prospects for a thaw sufficient
to take of the present heavy muzzle
of snow that envelopes the country
seems rather slim. Nobody expected
so much snow this early in the sea-
son. The first heavy snow storm has

He VIII be Given an Opportunity to
Prove His Innocence.
Fargo, N. D., Dec. 3.-Frank Lake
who was arrested several days ago
on a bench warrant, was arraigned
before Judge Pollock on a charge OF
assault with a dangerous weapon.
Lake entered a plea of not guilty to
the charge and his case will be taken
up during the present term of court.
The charge grows out of the shooting

Gle in the Hollow" when the de-
PENDANT shot and wounded two men

official communications, and there Is
no law to compel him to spell other
wise. Further. the list of words in
cludes only SO in all. and most of
them are already spelt, in common
use, as the president will spell them,
though such form may not have the
approval OF the dictionaries. All the
rest are but very slightly changed, the
dropping of an unnecessary letter or
two. A p%erusal OF the list will surely
convince anyone that the changes are
highly sensible. and will result in no
confusion, after a little. One would
think from the tone Of some news
paper critics that Mr.. Roosevelt pro-
poses to take the English-writing
peoples of the earth by the scruff OF
the neck and compel them to spell like
Josh Billings or Artemus Ward. The
president has merely taken the lead in
a good work, as he has often done be-
fore. and after the earpers have
snarled at his heels long enough they
will tag on to the procession.

LIGHT NEEDED.

That the people OF Vermont are
quite in earnest in their desire to
right the wrong of so-called double
taxation is evident from the attitude
OF both the parties in the campaign
just closed. Those nimble barometers,
the party platforms, quick to catch
the DRIFT OF popular sentiment and
record it for their advantage, had no
differences on this subject. They
were substantially agreed that reform
is needed, and both urged the coming
legislative session to give the matter
serious attention. Both platforms,
unfortunately, stopped there without
suggesting a remedy.
The Legislature soon 10 sit should
accept the mandate. and do its best
to provide some way out of the
dilemma which has puzzled the
shrewdest minds for many years.
Few question that the existing system
is wrong that il bears oppressively
upon many a worthy taxpayer, aud
that relief is urgently needed. But
when remedies are proposed, they
encounter the most strenuous OBJ
iections from various quarters, are
pronounced impractical, or fraught
with danger worse than the i'll We
now endure. This has been the ex-
%perienee OF the past, and as one after
another OF the remedial measures are
quietly tucked away in the legislative
cemetery, the process of elimination
leaves the law as it stood, and all the
effort wasted.
One thing still lacking, in spite of
all that has been done in the past. Is
definite knowledge as to the range,
extent and burden OF double taxation.
II does exist we know that. We see
individual cases OF landholders who
are paying heavy taxes on their
mortgaged real estate, while the
holders 81 the mortgage Indebtedness
are also taxed on their notes. But
there is not available, and has ever
been collated any statistics showing
how many in all Vermont are so
affected, what the total Of doubly
taxed property Is, or how it is
divided among the several towns ami
counties. Lack of this information
proves a serious difficulty in applying
a remedy, for until it is known how
much mortgaged real estate pays
taxes twice, the probable effect Of
any proposed remedy, in its relation
to general tax conditions. cannot Be
~forecasted with that reasonable assur-
ance which a matter of so prime i'm
portance really demands.
1t is a mistake to conclude that this
data al be secured from the returns
made by the listers, taken from the
tax inventories. These show the
amount of taxable estate, real and
personal, and also the amount claimed
in offset for debts owing, but this
latter does not often include the total
Indebtedness of the person. when

The second morning after election,
the Rutland Herald stated that The
Fusion account books show that its
expenditures from the day Of Percival
w. Clements nomination at Burling-
ton down to and including yesterday
were $40, 6G9 3d. 1t seems very likely
that this quite liberal expenditure
must be largely increased by the
money used bsfore and during the
nominating conventions, and by bills
not paid when the statement was
issued. Certainly, there seemed no
dearth OF funds on the Fusionist
side. The Republican fund vas also
liberal, but there is nothing to indi-
cate that it was drawn upon tor any
improper or illegitimate uses. We
consider that the campaign on both
sides was remarkably free from the
corrupting influence OF money, and
ascribe this condition in part to the
well known views of both candidates,
Proctor and Clement, on the subject.
