Newspaper men ought 10 have easy
times Of it in the polar circle, where the
papers are issued only once a year.
There are three or four Of these. One OF
them is the Eskimo Bulletin. edited near
Cape Prince Of Wales on Bering Straits.
The English missionaries there have es-
tablished a school in a village inhabited
by Eskimos and as only one steamer
lands al the place and that only once
year, the news It brings from the out

with the hektograph. The paper is very
thick and it is printed only on one side.
The Bulletin claims to be the only once

student Of that branch, although those
who know him value Johannes Trojan as
a master of the German language"

1T is strange to me- said Thomas
Lawton. of Philadelphia, at the Willard,
last night, that the stamp-collecting
craze. which was so fashionable or fad
dish ten years ago. seems practically 10
have died out. When was younger. al
most every boy collected stamps II he
did not save all sorts OF foreign stamps,
he at least clipped all United States
stamps. and saved them up under some
impression that they would save little
Chinese babies who were about 10 be
killed in their own country. But now
very few people have stamp albums. and
the numerous stamp stores that were
found in every city, not so long ago. seem
TO have disappeared.
Probably the most valuable collection
OF postage stamps in the werld is owned
by James W. Paul, a member of the
great banking firm Of Drexel & Co.
OF Philadelphia. Mr. Paul has his
collection insdred for $4,000. 1t is known
TO stamp collectors all over the country.
and contains thousands Of specimens
from all parts of the world. The Amer
ican group is remarkable for It's COM
pleteness. and many of them have
market value of from 500 10 $1,000 each.

1916, is valued at si,0o9. and he has many
others Of almost as great worth. For

R. R. CASES
Mileage Book and Coal Rate
Law Up For a
Hearing.

The report from Bismarck that
the N. P. Ry. Co., would remove the
2 cent mileage book case from the
state supreme court to the. federal
court for trial proves to have .been
erroneous. Both the mileage book
case and the Ignite coal rate law
will be heard.on appeal by the state
supreme court.at its. present term in
Grand Forks, and arguments were
submitted Monday in both cases.
The demurrer in the passenger
rate was based on an alleged ,in-
fringement of the l4th amendment
of the constitution of thee United
States, which declares that no citi-
zen shall be deprived of property
without due process of law.
The principal authority cited is a
case from Michigan, the.South Shore
and Michigan Southern railway VS..
Smith. Some years ago the state of
Michigan passed law which pro-
vided that the roads of the lower
peninsula should sell 1000 mile books
for two cents and in the upper pen
insula that they should be sold for
two and one-half cents. The su-
ppene court held that the law was
unconstitutional under the 18th
amendmen to the constitution.
Similar cases were cited from the
New York court of appeals and the
Virginia supreme court.
Attorney General McCue contends
that the case from Michigan is not
parallel case, being class legislation,
and in any event the decision was
not good, the chief Justice and two
associates dissenting.
In the coal rate case, the roads con-
tend that the rate is SO low that it is
confscatory and in conflict with the
constitution of both the state and the
United States and the holdings of
the courts. The case is one of fact
as to whether or not the rate is un-
reasonable and whether 0r not
it is. low enough. to be conhscat-
ory. A referee will be named bV the
court to take evidence in the case
so that the facts may be ascer-
tained. This referee will receive
and make records of all evidence
either side has to offer.
The c;yse was opened for the n.
P, &. N. and the 500 by Attorney
Jno. s. Watson Of Fargo. The state
is represented by Attorney General
McCue.

For Aid of Claimants-ln view Of
the fact that many of the United
States land Offices are so crowded
with applications to make final
proof, notably Minot, that it is i'm
possible to fix dates for several
months-thus causing great hard
ships in some instances to settlers
who have. compiled with the law and
desire to make Communication proofs
and leave their. land during the win
ter months. ..the commissioner Of the
general land Office has made ruling
that where applicants make final
proof accompanied by af1davits
setting forth briefly the facts as to
the period of actual residence, the
amount Of cultivation and improve
ments, and why absence is desired,
the absence of claimants from and
after the filing .of application until
the day fixed by the local officers for
submission Of proof. will not prevent
applicants from making such proof
on the day set.

Recovered Railroad Tickets

Recovered Railroad Tickets
The railroad mileage books that were
stolen.from the N. P. depot a short
time ago we're recovered today on
confession of Hudson, one of the men
under arrest for the crime. The
books were located lin the vault Of
the Columbia Hotel. There were
some 10 mileage books of different
amounts, and five excess baggage
hooks. Both men have confessed to
the robberies and are now in jail
awaiting the session ::of the district
court when they will plead guilty
and receive sentence. Moran seems
to have to a large extent, ..in1u-
enced to crime, by Hudson, who
has--served a sentence for burglary.
Both men assert that Moran was
not 10 any way Connected with the
depot robbery but both were en-
gagged in the robbery. of Lineman
Walsh's SHACK, the stealing:of the
trunk on the :depot platform, land
the valises from the depot. 1t is said
that Hudson :.forced Moran to help
him get away with the passengers
trunks at the point of a gun. The
men will no doubt get stiff sentences.

FIRST STOCK SHIPMENTS
Cattle From the West Going East
In Large Numbers. Improved
Shipping Service.

| Anyone who visits the local feed
ing yards Of the N. p. stock yards
will be convinced that the cattle
shipping season of the N. P. has COM
menced in earnest. The first heavy
shipments are DELAYED over that of
year ago, but since Thursday last,
over three hundred cars Of east
bound cattle have been shipped aud
fed and watered at the jamestown
yards. Beginning Saturday night
there Was rush of cars and between
5 p. NJ. and Sunday afternoon 1913 cars
we're fed and watered, loaded and
sent east. Superintendent Moses has
been on the jump and Saturday night
worked all night as we'll as the great
er part Of last night.
One of the.prominent cattle ship
pers Of western North Dakota writes
to the Dickinson Press that the stock
shipping service on the N. p. has
been greatly improved over last year.
He states that the principal Obstluc-
tion in the rapid transit of cattle
from Montana and western North
Dakota by through trains is the de-
lay at the twin city stockyards for
fed and water. Green help and
certain amount OF red tape, make ex-
pensive and annoying delays for all
cattle that are bound to .Chicago
market. At South St. Paul it is said
that the first shipment made by the
above shipper took sixteen hours
from the time of Mp. delivery to the
yarding of the cattle for rest and
feed. The train service was fast and
che delay in the South St. Paul yards
was therefore, extremely annoying.
The South st Paul reporters of east
bound stock shipments exaggerate
the number of cars en- route to Chi
cago, and it is said that this is done
to knock of the price on the arrival
of cars. The above individual shipper
was reported to be en- route to Chi
cago with II cars Of cattle when in
fact he had only 25.
According to western stock men
there is no great amount OF livestock
to 60 to market this year. The good
prices, profusely advertised for the
past few weeks. eliminated in a
liberal run last week, but the run so
far has not begun to equal last years
output, and will not reach it at any
time this year. The COW market is
already below last year on account of
so many ranchmen cleaning up their
herds and Shipping everything.
Steers are selling higher than last
year and promise to continue, and
the longer we..can.hold them on feed
the better the weight and the better
the price. The demand for feeders
has not developed yet and will noe
until the corn crop is assured.
