tino avenue and Sixth street and erect
a station. The city grants the right to
the company to lay trackes on the
south 40 feet of Mackenzie avenue as it
exists or may be extended westerly to
distance of 1900 feet and to operate
from such tracks switches and sidings
upon alleys and lances running north
and south for the purpose of serving
warehouses adjacent thereto. This ap-
plies to an acre from Government
avenue on the east to Sixteenth street
on the west. This is arranged subject
to the approval of the railway COM
mission.
Besides, the city grants the COM
papy the exclusive right to lay the said
switches and sidings, but the company
must operate them for any other rail-
way company with terminals in this
city. The company is bound to handle
freight cars within this area at rates
not greater than the minimum rates
charged on the branch lines.
The company agrees that upon the
acquisition of the city of the 80 foot
right-of-way south of the c. N R. to
proceed at once to construct the tract
therein and upon the south 40 feet of
Mackenzie avenue and such switches
and sidings as are necessary on lanes

Senator LaMoure of Pembina Shortly
after he was born he was called judi

six in the morning. One call was gen.
orally sufficient. but if it was not, there
were exercises in the bed room Of
which We will not speak further. He
was called Jud for short. A good many
n. D. people who were short have
called him Jud. and If they deserved
a lift they got it. When he was four
teen years old he was trustee of a large
red COW. walking delegate to the spring

wood pile and managing editor of

attended to all these duties in care

always ready and willing to drop his
hoe and join the neighborhor's boys

and Sundays ommitted-weather per-

Hazel Nut Gatherers. He conducted
the affairs of the Office in a careful
and conscientious manner and broke
his leg twice by falling from the wood

When young man he accumulated
considerable experience in the mer-

last night to execute the agreement be-
tween the city of Edmonton and the
Grand Trunk Pacific railway COM
pany. providing for the entrance of
the company's line into the city. The
agreement has been made for some
time, but the council have been trying
10 secure right-or-way south of the
Z. N. Il. at minimum cost for the To-
cation OF the company's tracks. The
city mad from May until July 1 to
purchase the property and after that

or stated last night that options had
been secured that will enable the city
to give the company right-of-way.
telegram was received yesterday
from Mr.. F. w. Morse. the general
manager of the G. T. p, that as soon as
the agreement was executed the COM
pany would commence at once to lay

OF the agreement, by which the city

NEARLY POISONED.
LaMoure Woman Substituted Carbolic
Acid for Pepsin,

To the prompt and heroic treatment
employed by her husband, Mrs. D. w.
Lippincott probably owes her life.
Troubled with dyspepsia. Mrs. Lippin-
colt arose at late hour Saturday
night-or an early hour Sunday MORN
ing-for the purpose of taking dose
OF pepsin, says the LaMoure Chronicle.
Through natural and almost unavoid-
able error, which need not be ex-
planned in detail, she got hold of
pepsin bottle containing about spoon
full of carbolic acid. This she poured
into tablespoon and drank. Carbolic
acid doesn't taste bit like pepsin,
and Mrs. Lippincott at orce knew
what had happened. So did her hus-
band. Billy" is just naturally built
to cope with emergencies of this ma
ture, and in less time than it takes to
tell it he had given his wife gener-
GUS portion of whiskey. which was
quickly followed with dose of milk
and lard. This offensive combination
caused the patient to become very
"seasick'-just what the doctor or
dered. Mrs. Lippincott is all right
now, and BILLY" is thinking seriously
of hanging up his Single.

one 20 per cent and one IS per cent.
Stark county was increased IS per
cent, but with that its average assess
ed valuation is only $1.S7 an acre: Nc
Henry was increased 20 per cent, but
Its assessed valuation as equalized is
only 1857 an acre. and Bottineau was
returned by assessors and the county
board at figure somewhat higher
than that. 1t would certainly have
been the extreme of unfairness to
have permitted McHenry county to re-
main far lower than its neighbor coun-
ties, when the land is of about the
same value. 1t is the business of the
state board, not to fix values of land,
but to equalize them as between coun-
ties, and it is has endeavored to do SO
as the following table, giving the fig
ures of valuation per acre as finally
equalized by the board will show:

FARM HELPERS STRIKE.
March Through the Country TO En-
force Higher Wages.


A..ociated Press Cable to The Evening
Times.
Paris, Aug. ga "Jacquerie" in
mild form is in progress in La Brie,
one of the richest agricultural regions
of France. The farm laborers have
struck work and are forming them
selves into union under the red flag,
calling their fellows together by beat
of drum. Their object is to demand
higher wages.
Bands Of 200 or 900 strikers march
through the country picking up re-
cruits, either willing or unwilling, at
every farm. These peasant battallions
are headed either by the tri-color or
the more sinister red flag of socialism,
and cheered on their way by the music
of drums, trumpets and accordions.
Escorts of gendarmes accompany the
march, but no violence has occurred
to necessitate their presence.
Although the laborers of La Brie are
the best paid in France. the cost of
living there is excessive. Consequently
the heads of families are in constant
distress, to relieve which they have
determined to form unions. This move
ment has only been in existence about
month, but the employers in one dis
trict has recognized the union and
granted a considerable rise in wages.
