defeated for the office to which they
may aspire.
Surprising the 2-cent rate bill passes
unamended in the senate, and the rail-
ways decide to retaliate. what is to
prevent them from delaying the many
improvements which are now contem-
plated in North Dakota what is to
prevent them from hauling off pas
senger trains now operated on the
branch lines at loss and substitute
therefore slow-moving but profit
making combination trains; what is to
prevent many other meanesses from
which there is no recourse to law.
Another reason why We should not
adopt 2-cent rate at this time is that
the railroads in their present condi-
ton are inadequately equipped to
meet the transportation demands of
the public. 1t will cost the railway
companies practically as much dur
ing the next five years to rebuild their
roads. change grades, replace old ties
and rails, and on main lines double
track, than was the original cost OF
constructing the lines. The delays in
traffic of the last few months have
caused the public to wake to the act
ual conditions OF commercial paraly-
sis that confront them, and this is
bound to become worse instead of bet
ter, unless the railway companies
meet the increased tax upon them for
service, by better and more equip
ment. The question for the people
to decide is whether or not it
would be better policy TO pay the rail-
road companies a reasonable tariff
for passenger transportation and have
the desired Improvements now, or
whether it is better to handicap the
roads by forcing them to take bust
ness at a confiscatory rate and be
compelled to wait perhaps several
years for the needed improvements
and be compelled to put up with an
moving and inferior transportation
facilities. These the railroads would
be forced to give them and We could
not expect a greater service from
decreased receipts from passenger
traffic.

COURT HOUSE REM
DEVIOUS FOR
VETERANS
About Fifty Old Soldiers of
Grand Forks County Were
Benefited.

Clerk Of Court Spaulding and
Deputy c. l.. GRADER are now "per-
forming" under the new pension law
which went into effect on Feb. 6,
1907 and a large number OF veterans
of the civil and Mexican wars are ap-
pearing, to claim pension or raise in
pension.
1t is estimated that there are $50
or 200 pensioners in this neighbour
hood and of this number about
forty-five or fifty persons will be
directly benefited by the new act. 1t
provides that all veterans of the civil
or Mexican wars who served ninety
days and who were honorably dis
charged, whose ages are over 60 years
and under 10 shall receive $12 per
month: all over 20 and under Is years
of age. SIS month; all over IS $40
per month
The applications for these pensions
must be made out on regular forms
provided by the government and APP
proved by the commissioner of pen
sions. Clerk of Court Spaulding was
busy this morning filling out blanks.

emily without cause. He was a mon
omaniac on the subject of permitting
his wife to talk to anyone. He was
particularly jealous of the glances of
admiration thrown by young men at
Mrs. De La Mar. This idiosyncrasy
did more to prevent their social sue
cess in America than all the other OBJ
jections put together. Captain De La
Mar apparently could not understand
the social ethics which permitted that
his wife should receive the acknow-
Judgement of an after-dinner call from
the men who had accepted their din
ner invitations. Much less did he see
the courtesy in the offer of few flow

Of admirers at her afternoon or eve
ming at home, as the case might be,
it was not to be thought of. Even in
their box at the horse show or opera,
his icy glare was sure to chill the ar
dor of the unsuspecting caller.
Finally the situation reached a
climax and the De La Mars agreed to
disagree. Captain De La Mar insti-
tuted proceedings in Paris for an alb
solute divorce and the suit was not
contested by the wife. The cause of
the suit was a package of letters ad-
dressed to Mrs. De La Mar discovered
by Captain De La Mar in their COM
mon safe at the Credit Lyonnais.
Within short time after the div
orce was granted Mrs. De La Mar was
married to Mr.. Hatmaker. who for
many years had been confidential
financial man for the Vanderbilts. He
had promoted several companies in
France and had accumulated large
fortune. So far as the public knows
the former Mrs De La Mar has lived
happily ever since. The same car

husband. His friends in this city say
that he loves the beautiful Nellie
Sands as much today as he did the
day he married her. However this

the appearances of most unhappy
and discontinued man. He maintains
homes in several cities on both sides
of the Atlantic. but never stays long
in one place. He built palatial house
in Fifth Avenue. but never lived in it.

the board and it looks now as though
this program will be carried out pref
ty faithfully. The probability is that
such general legislation as gets
through between now and March 4
will be attached to appropriation
bills at the last minute.
