How Others See us

The following was clipped
from a Detroit paper, and shows
how the eastern papers like to
run down this state. The fact
of the matter is Michigan has
had snow since we have.
Grand Forks, May 14.-A
heavy fall of snow yesterday as
far north as Minot, west to
Devils Lake, and south to Fargo
was about the last straw in the
discouragirg wheat situation in
this section. 1t is estimated
that only about 20 per cent of
the seeding mas been done in
this portion of the state. In
the vicinity of Langdon, scarce
ly any seeding has been done.
Farmers have been seeding the
spots on the sunny sides of the
hills, while the north sides have
been covered with snow from
the winter.

John GRIPPE, assessor for Pleas
ant township has inaugurated a
new system of assessing. He is
1oing what the law requires-as-
sessing property at it's true val
ue. Land that will sell readily
at $40 or $25 per acre is assessed
at that sum, instead of 81 per
acre as is the usual way. If as
SCISSORS in the state should fol-
low this rule the taxes would be
10 higher and the assessment roll
would show the true wealth of
the state. People from other
states frequently inquire the as
sessed valuation of land and the
amount of taxes to "a quarter Sec
ton. When they find that with
an assessed valuation of s640 the
farmer is paying $3.50 tax or 2
per cent of its value it looks bad,
IF the valuation is 5000 and the
taxes $12.80, or only 4 mills on
the dollar, it looks different -

MOeller Cures CONSUMPTION.

DR.. Thor Moeller, one of the
Minot physicians, has announced
that during the month of June,
and perhaps longer, he will hold
a free clinic between the hours
Of IL and | O'Clock for tubercular
patients, who are unable to pay.
The doctor has a new remedy
for tuberculosis which he has
great faith in, and at the recent
of the state Medical So
ciety in Minot, read a paper on
his treatment which caused a
great deal of comment.
The doctor wishes to expert
ment with as many patients as
possible that he may report the
result of the cases at the Tuber-
culosis Congress to be held in
Washington, D. c., in Septem-
ber, 1908.

A New Law.

A new law on the taxation of
grain has recently gone into
effect, (which provides that all
grain grown within the state
and held therein in elevators,
warehouses or granaries, shall
be taxed at a fixed rate as fol-
lows: Flax at the rate of one
half Of one cent per bushel;
wheat at the rate of three-eighths
of a cent per bushel; and oats,
barley, corn, speltz and rye each
at the rate of o!ne-eighth of one
cent per bushel.
The tax is made direct and all
that the assessor has to do is to
find out the number of bushels
of each kind of grain held by
the party assessed.

Ness New Auto

B. J. Ness will take no mans
dust. Anyway, he says, it is in
furious to his eyes and a general
all-round dusty nusience, and af-
ter this he intends to do no more
trailing in the dusty wake of a
choking, snorting, ill-smelling
automobile. In order to bring
about this change he has sold
his Glide machine, which travel
ed just fast enough to keep be-
hind the other fellow, and has
purchased 1907 model REQ run
about with adjustable folding
rear seat. This machine will
climb telegraph poles, go in the
water after ducks, and Ness
says he is going to do away with
the services of a shot gun this
fall, that a fishing rod with a
snare$on the end Of it will en-.
able him to catch feathered fow]
by running his world-wonder ma.
chine under and up after the
birds. The auto will 5e here
the last Of the week, and wher
you automebilists see Ness in his
machine, don't try to pass hin
but be satisfied in keeping with
in eyeslght.

Returned from Coast

Mr.. and Mrs. P. J. McClory
returned Sunday from their two
months trip to the western
coast. On their way to LosAn-
geles they stopped off at Omaha
and Denver. They spent four
days in Salt Lake City, where a
concert on the famous pipe organ
was given in the great Norman
tabernacle to the 5000 Shriners
then in that city. A week was
passed in LosAngeles, after
which SanJose, Oakland, Pase-
dena and many other places of
interest in California were visit
ed. The homeward journey was
made by way of Portland and
Seattle. The groves of oranges,
lemons, olives, apricots and
many other fruit trees were
bending with the weight of
great masses of fruit, while in
Portland and Seattle roses were
seen in great profusion. The
scenery was very beautiful and
Mr.. and Mrs. McCIory report an
enjoyable and pleasant trip.

The railroads have cut off
their cheap excursions to the
Fargo Agricultural college this
year owing to the cut the legisla-
lures made in their rates. Jim
Hill started the excursion ten
years ago and Of late years has
been charging but a nominal
rate. The Northern Pacific did
likewise and they have done a
great deal of good for the state.
Three thousand farmers visit
ed the college annually. Many
returned home and sent their
boys to college. Hill states that
he did not cut off the excursion
because he was antagonistic to
the state, but because the rail-
roads had adopted the plan of
giving no excursions at ALL
Ward County Independent.

The other morning Treasurer
Doheny' of the Chicago Piano
company, arose a trifle earlier
than is his usual custom; posi-
bly, because he had new line of
talk to slip off at a prospective
customer that he expected to
land that day, or maybe just his
natural desire to ''get busy"
Anyway, he neglected to take his
usual morning bath. Neverthe-
less, after getting out into the
country several miles he was run
ming his machine along a grade
on either side of which was a
tempting stream of water, which
under the circumstances was
especially inviting to Mike. A
short way off a team became
fractions over the impending
danger which the horses saw in
the approaching !, machine, and
the drivers Of both conveyances
were intently watching one an
other to see who was going into
the ditch. In the II meantime
Mikes rig was steadily advanc-
ing both along the grade and
down its side, for III his anxiety
lest the team become uncontr oil
liable, he neglected to properly
guide his car, and, well, it slid
aoWn the grade and hit the water
with a splash. Mike says he win
never leave home again with
first taking his morning plunge.

HOME TALENT PLAY
Was a Great Success, and was en-
joyed by Packed House

A large assemblage Of Devils
Lake citizens and also Decora-
tion visitors filled the armory
Thursday evening to witness the
best play ever given by Devils
Lake home talent. From 9
o'clock, when the first act began
to the end of the play all interest
was centered on the production
of "An American Citizen," de-
picted by the members of the
O'Callaghans.

and Otto Strobe were played by
Earl Mann. Harry Kneeshaw
acted the part of the Englishman
and rendered the roll with skill
and precision. The parts of less

haudled by Robert Cairns, Earl
Everhart, Robert Charles, Har-
old Connolly, Leo Nelson and
Noel Sloan. Mercury, the office
boy, was represented by Leland
Kain in a very creditable man.

PERISHED IN FLAMES
Eddie, Currie, Four Years of Age,
1 Victim of Fire Fiend

SoonSafter 5 o'clock last week
Fridayfmorning, fire was discov-]
cred nthe kitchen Of Alex. Cur
5rie's ten room house west of the
tracks. Mr.. Currie was awaken
ed by pounding on his door and
smelling the smoke he at once
aroused his wife and then called
their eight boarders and house
keeper, Mary Waldman. The
flames spread so rapidly that be-
fore Miss Waldman could leave
the house her hair was burned.
Little Eddie, the four-year old
son of. Mr.. Currie, was sleeping
in the room directly over the
kitchen and it is supposed was
suffocated to insensibility by the
dense smoke before the fire
reached him. In his excitement
his father thought Eddie had
been awakened and so busted
himself in saving his other chill
dren, one aged two years and the
other two months. All except
the little boy escaped, though no
clothing or furniture was saved.
The father, noticing that Eddie
was not with them, tried to re-
enter the burning building
through a broken window, but
was kept from doing so by E. j.
Tanner, a neighbor, as he would
also have perished if his attempt
had succeeded. The little boy
was burned to a crisp and only
the trunk was recovered by the
Iprostrated parents. ~:
The fire company arrived on
the scene during the early part
of the blaze, but was unable to
extinguish the flames because of
there being no hydrants in that
part of the city. Enough water
Twas secured, however, to save
the adjoining buildings. The
house was leveled to the ground,
and Mr.. Currie and family were
taken care, of at the home of
David Waldman, Mrs. .Currie's
brother. -..~- T.. :, :.

The governor said in his OPEN
ing address that he cared more
for the appreciation and good
will of his old friends and neigh
bors than any political honors
thrust upon him, and that he
was deeply moved and touched
by the f1attering reception with
which they had greeted him. He
touched on the general air of
health and prosperity which
was noticeable in the city. Mem
orial Day, he said, was not a
day Of rest or yet a day of work,
but it. was a day of love, the day
on which we are given opportu-
nifty to show our respect and
+ reverence for our soldier dead
those who had perished and CIV
en- themselves up as sacrifice
! in order that this nation might
live. He pictured the soldier Of
the rebellion as the prototype of
the soldier Of the revolution. He
Twas not a soldier of fortune, ac-
I Gustomed to wars alarms, but
/ rather a minute man. 'asne -who
had dropped his work at his
country's call. ''He went to bat
tie, not to shed blood, but to
fight for the perpetuation of the
union and his home" The hero
ism of the American soldier, the
governor continued, was some
thing to be venerated, for he
left wife, mother, home and chill
dren, knowing not when or how
he should return or whether he
should return at all. He spoke
., Of the broad charity and kind
ness that characterized the &C.
tions Of the man behind the
helm at Washington-President
Lincoln-and cited as an ex-
ample the actions of General
Grant at the capitulation of
Richmond, when, instead of mo
<, testing and looting the town he
quietly withdrew his forces
har1ning no one or anything.
He then complimented the
citizens of Devils Lake on the
beautiful monument which had
been unveiled in the morning
He said it would remain as g
lasting testimonial of the regard
and .veneration in which the peo
pie held the honored dead. The
soldiers who are now living
and every year their number be-
comes less and less-shoulc
be treated with r., the
greatest honor and respect
: during the few years that
= they yet have to remain among
us, the governor concluded.
