COUNTY CAMPAIGN
TO BEGIN At
Local Republican Headquar-
tiers Opened In First Ma
tional Bank Building.
MEN ROLL UP SLEEVES
Plans For Campaign Matured
at Meeting of Committee
Last Evening.
MEN ROLL UP SLEEVES

The executive committee of the re-
publican county central committee met
yesterday afternoon and discussed and
devised plans for conducting the COM
Ing county campaign. 1t made its re-
port to the central committee last
night and the report was accepted.
The central committee met at tho
court house in the evening and much
of the executive work Of the cam
paign was arranged.
ent:
Bendeke. chairman; Gaulke, Hol-
ton, Gowran, Chas. Harshman, Evan
son, Western, Alguire, Davis by proxy.
Rooms for political Headquarters
were secured on the second floor of
the First National bank building, and
from this time until the polls close
on the sixth of November there will
be something doing in the politics of
the county which will cause the dem
ocratic brethren to sit up and won
der where they are at" 1t will be
a campaign of facts and clean argu-
ments. There will be nothing said or
done which will not stand the most
careful consideration and investigation
on the part of the voters, and no prom.
ositions will be advanced, except those
in which they are vitality interested.
1t will be slearly demonstrated that
the prosperity of the nation, the state
and the county will be materially en-
hanced by the election of the repub-
lican ticket from top to bottom. and
to accomplish this end every repub-
lican In the county is willing to take
on his coat, roll up his sleeves and
work.
One thing that is remarkably crafty
Ing to the republican managers is
the fact that with microscope not
single dissatisfied republican can be
found throughout the county, and all
hope of the democrats to add to their
party vote from this course has gone
up in smoke as is true of so many of
their aspirations.
Two vacancies on the central COM
mittee were filled as follows: E. o.
Burtness of Meckinock and Charles
Colosky of Marvel, both from the
Sixth district. H. A. Peterson of
Thompson was named for county con-
stable in place of John Austin, and
Theodore Holton was named for coun-
ty justice from the Fifth district.

ply with the law even il they have to
revoke number Of licenses.

What Does II Mean,

East Grand Forks has a double.
Perhaps not in appearance or charac-
ter, but at least in name as the fol-
lowing clipping from the Edgeley,
IN. d. Mail will indicate:
Armed with criminal complaint
and warrant of arrest, Deputy Sher-
III White walked into the establish
ment VIGOROUSLY known as East
Grand Forks last Saturday after
noon and took into custody the pro-
prietor Arthur Clayton, and a help
er in his employ. The young men
are charged with violating the pro-
hibltlon laws. in short, Blind Pig
ging." They were taken to La Moure
and held for hearing before the county
Judge, who discharged the helper and
held him as a witness, and set Thurs
day of this week as the date of Clay
tons trial."

THREsH|NG BUSINESS IMPROBABLE
Many Machines Which Have Been
Working in This Vicinity Are
Hauling Into TwOn.

The thresherman's business in the
Red river valley is a rather unpro-
fitable one this year, if A. F. Turner,
John Kennedy. Hugh Ryan and a few
more who are in that line are to be
believed. These gentlemen have been
working their rigs in the immediate
vicinity of this city, and, notwith-
standing they are charging IL cents
bushel for threshing wheat this year,
as against an average of 10 cents
charged last scar, they will all three
have pulled their rigs into town by
the last of the week. Mr.. Kennedy,
it is reported, has already done so,
while H. p. Ryan's machine will quit
tomorrow.
Thirty years ago." said A. F. Turn
err this morning, you could get your
wheat threshed for five cents a bush
Ell, by the old fail method. Now from
10 to IL cents is charged, and that,
notwithstanding that the most upto
date and modern machinery, with a
hundred times the working power and
capacity of the fail is used.
Asked how he accounted for it, Mr..
Turner said:
THE difficulty of obtaining laboring
men to work the machines is re-
sponsible for the increased cost of
threshing crops. Where we used to
get first class help for SITS and 81
a day, we now pay $3.50. s275 and
this year some are paying So day for
common labor. Where twenty to
thirty of crew are employed it can
easily be seen that the expense of
operation alone will run from SIS to
$40 day 70 machine. At this
rate machine must have extraordin-
airy luck, with good weather and long
stands to make any profit on his
investment"
In answer to query as to what
he believed would be the wheat yield
per acre in this county, Mr.. Turner
stated that his machine had been
turning out an average of from seven
to ten bushels to the acre

CASE WHICH SHOOK
TO CORE WARDS
POLITICS
Supreme Court Hears Argu-
ments In Famous Ward
County Case.
RIGHT TO HOLD OFFICE
Title is State of N. D. Respond.
ent VS.. S. s. Richards and
L. r. Carroll.

The attention of the supreme court
was occupied this morning in consid-
ering the case that made Ward county
famous. 1t is styled on the court
calendar as the State of North Dakota,
respondent, against S. s. Richards and
l.. X. Carroll, appellants. 1t involves
the legal question which shook the
politics, so to speak, of Ward county
to the centre. 1t will be remembered
several months ago, after the Fabrick
matter had been aired in that county.
that charges of irregularity and mall
feasance in Office were filed against
the respondents who were then holding
positions as county commissioners. The
case was heard in the district court
and Judge Goss issued an order re-
moving them from Office. The action
OF the court in that proceeding is the
subject under review in the supreme
court, and one Of the grounds is the
sufticiency of the charges to sustain
the judgment which was rendered in
the lower court. The appellants side
of the case was presented by Attorney
John p. Greene, and this afternoon
that of the respondents is being pre-
sented to the court by States Attorney
George A. MCGEE of Ward county,
and Robert H. Bosard, formerly of
this city, now practicing at Minot.
The other case argued this morning
was that of D. B. Scott, appellant
against the Northwestern Port Huron
company. respondent, from Trail
county. This case was argued on be-
half of the appellant by John Car
mody. W. E. Dodge, who represented
the respondent, did not appear, but
protested against the case being tried
by only two members of the court.
The cases heard yesterday after
noon were the Houghton Implement
company appellant, VS.. Frank Vav-
rousky, respondent, from Walsh coun-
ty.
]. L. Owens company, appellant, VS..
Thomas Doughty, respondent.
The North Dakota Horse and Cattle
company, respondent, VS.. Silver Serum
gard, appellant. This was the most
important case submitted yesterday,
involving a tract of land in Pierce
county.

CALL attention TO AMENDMENTS
Superintendent StOckwell Says There
Is Over $4,000 of School Funds
Uninyested.

Bismarck, N. D.. Sept 2O.-To The
Evening Times: Will you kindly call
attention to the fact that there are
pending two constitutional amend
ments pertaining to the investment of
the common school fund; one which
is to be voted upon this fall, which
allows the board of university and
school lands to buy, in addition to
those securities heretofore purchased,
bonds issued by counties, townships
and municipalities in this state. The
other amendment must pass the COM
ing legislature before it can go to the
people. 1t adds to the list drainage
bonds and the bonds of other states
which have never repudiated their in
debtedness.
In view of the fact that there is
lying in the state treasury over $780,
900 OF this school fund uninvested,
there ought to be no opposition to
either of these amendments.

Secretary Board of University and

arrested yesterday afternoon at Ink
ster and brought before Justice Nc
Laughlin last night on warrants

ATTENDANCE N THE HIGH SCHOOL
The High Mark of 200 PUPILS Has Not
Been reached Yet-Many Foreign
Pupils.

The attendance in the city schools is
growing every day though somewhat
slower than had been anticipated. The
total enrolment in the five schools
will undoubtedly reach the high mark
set last year, and, except in one or
two grades the high school included,
every department will show SUBJ
stantial growth. Several high school
pupils have entered in the last two or
three days but quite number have
yet to enter before the enrolment of
29O. last years mark, will have been
reached. The pupils that are entering
now are mostly out of town students
who have just made up their minds to
attend the best school in the state.
A glance at the records in the Gen.
trail and high schools discloses the
cosmopolitan character of the school,
as pupils from all parts of the state
and northern Minnesota are enrolled.
Every class Of civilization from the
African to the big-thumbed Czaraviski
being represented.

Football Simmer.

The supper to be given tonight in
kellar's hall by the football team of
the high school deserves special men,
ton in that it is given for a worthy
cause. A good coach has been secured
and now all that remains to be done
for the securing of first class team
is the liberal support and patronage of
the townspeople. Arrangements have
been made to accommodate 500 people
so nobody need stay away for fear of
lack of victuals. The supper commit
tee has been working hard for several
days and everything will be in SPLEEN
did shape to supply the wants of the

A FORMER GRAND FORKS PASTOR
/: s'ls the young girl in st. Paul
(: safep
/: Hints from a sermon by Rev.
/: 4. c. Stephens, First ". E. church,
(: Sunday evening.

Rev. Stevens, now located in st.
Paul, was for several years pastor of
the local Methodist church and the
above query is as copied by st. Paul
paper, which summed up a sermon
delivered last Sunday morning.
In the course of the talk Rev. Stew
ems had the following to say in refer
ence to the city of st. Paul:
Five thousand working girls in st.
Paul have no homes.
By their conditions of employment
they must go to and from work un-
attended.
They arrive daily from the coun-
try. passing through the union depot
Nobody takes any note of them, no
body knows where they come from
or where they are going.
They do not know.
They ask directions of the first
person they meet. Who knows how
many are steered into places that are
worse than death.
The streets abound in pitfalls The
winerooms invite them.
There are 700 women in this city
living in houses of shame.
The Christian churches must share
the responsibility for these things.
If every husband and son and broth
er was clean, every wife and daught-
err and sister would be safe.
There should be an ebert, discreet
skilled deaconess at the union de-
pot to watch for them and start their
steps right
There should be an encourage
ment society,"" to make the welfare
of these young girls their care.
If we have not done all we could
for these, our sisters, we have failed
of our duty to our Master.

historic as a comparatively new eoun- try is capable of making it, and visit ors will no doubt rub up their knowl- edge of it's early colonization moye- ments, and particularly of it's actual start at Old Jamestown.
 Ii is a pity that no steps have been taken to have Alabama represented at the exposition of next year to be held on the soil of Old Virginia, where the Confederacy struggled four long years to secure a place in the list of nations. The exposition will be delightfully."- To- cated on salt water, and as summer rest and school vacation 1t will be at tractive and probably successful. It will be visited by throngs of people, for millions can reach it by boats. Ala bama should in some way be repre- scented there, and perhaps the next leg islature can devise a quick and expedi. tious avenue to representation of some sort.

Alabama Iron Ores.

In the field season of this year the United States geological survey pro poses to map and to study the iron ores of this district Edwin c. Eckel has been placed in charge of the work, and the hope is that he will be able to present and to publish comprehen- sive report in relation to the iron ores of the Birmingham district.
 A federal survey is accepted where no other would be; and this is why a complete report from the United States geological survey will promote every interest in this district. Other districts that hold iron ores have been sur veyed, but for some reason or in some way this district has gone along with out complete survey. Congressman Underwood has induced the geological survey to give the iron ores of Ala. bama special and proper attention, and no doubt we will soon have the chief facts duly attested and reported by the government.
 MT. Eckel will begin a study of Ala bama iron ores about May 1, and by or before the end of the year he hopes to have all the facts in hand and per haps in print, or laid down on maps.

Mayer McCarthY's EIans.

Mayor Mccarthy, like Dr. Osler, has been made famous by a single sen tence. pr. Osler swung a chloroform bottle at those sixty or more years old, while Mayor Mccarthy of Richmond swung before the astonished eyes of the public the flag of Virginia and the battle flag of the Confederacy.
 He says it was "a passing remark" made in the presence of convention of southern ice men. He says that he is on good terms with the star-spangled banner, and he uses capitals when he speaks of the national flag. What meant" he goes on to say, "by saying T recognize but two flags was my way of saying my interest and my devotion and my hopes were indissolubly asso- ciated with my state and the south" '"
 Mayor McCarthy's apology is hereby accepted. He is restored to the union of states and it's banner that should bear 49 stars, but that is at present doing service with forty-five because of scheme to rob the democrats of four Senators. Mayor Mccarthy is at any rate as true to the flag as the Cannonites are to the constitution, and the flag goes. of course, with the con stitution. If MT. Mccarthy will pro ceed to climb onto an ice wagon, if not the water wagon, when he indulges in remarks about flags, he will be all right, and all will be forgiven. As things stand now he recognizes the flag of Virginia, the battle flag of the Confederacy and the 45-star flag of the union now and forever The war is therefore over, and Richmond is again taken in, even if it's mayor does in. dulge in the luxury of three flags sim ultaneously.
