Washington, July 8. - The report

this time that it will pave the way for
the discharged colored soldiers to re-

he will make no minority report
There are assurances also that Presi.

this result.
The program as outlined provides:

WILL VlNDICATE NORTH DAKOTA
State Far Will Have Larger and Finer Exhibits-To Show
That State Was Not Crippled by Severe Weather
of Last Winter

North Dakotans from all parts of
the state are looking to the big state
fair that will open in Grand Forks on
July % for five-day exhibition. for
vindication of the malicious and
damaging reports that were scattered
broadcast last winter concerning the
state. Reports from all sections to
Secretary Miller of the state fair indi.
cate this. Prospective exhibitors an
nounce that they are planning to
make larger and finer exhibits than
ever before to show that North Dako.
ia was not crippled by the severe
weather of last winter. Moreover,
they announce that in many respects
their exhibits will be better than be-
fore because of favorable conditions
and good growing weather.
President Hunter and Secretary
Miller of the fair board both announce
that the state fair will certainly show
plenty of proof of the prosperous con-
ditiOn of the state. With the interest
that is shown everywhere a record
fair is anticipated.
only Fair to Get Rates.
In another respect the fair is favor.
ed. The North Dakota State fair is
the only Northwestern state fair that
has been granted special railroad
rate this year. The Great Northern,
Northern Pacific and 500 roads have
announced 2-cent rate, effective
from July %, the day preceding the
fair, to July 20, the Monday following
it. Even the Minnesota State fair,
which is the largest annual exhibition
in the United States, will not be given
special rate this year.
This feature it is believed will
prove an added attraction for the
state fair and will bring many visit
ors who might take advantage of
other fairs if any rate were to be al
lowed. In addition the North Dakota
state fair has further advantage by
reason of the special favor shown en-
hibits. All exhibits coming to the
state fair will be returned after the
fair to the point of origin free Of
charge, thereby giving exhibits half
the regular freight rate.

be in place when the gates Open

a Williston day to advertise the west

to come in for the fair thousand

Gov. John Burke has accepted an
invitation to be present at the fair and

be present.

LIKELY TO BE BARRED IN STATE.
Probable That Liquor Advertisements
Will Be Put on Unlawful List.

States Attorney j. B. Wineman
stated last week that he was inclined
to believe the law prohibiting the So
Letting of sales of liquor within the
State of North Dakota applies to the
publication of advertisements of
liquor concerns in the daily and week.
ly newspapers of North Dakota.
According to his view the adver.
Using of liquor is soliciting business
and is on par with lottery advertise
ments, which have been barred from
the newspapers. He will look up the
question thoroughly and If he decides
the circulation of the liquor advertise
ments in the press of the state is con.
trary to law will proceed. ~
The question is most important
one. At the present time the liquor
concerns are unable to send agents
through the state on account of the
new law in effect July 1, and it is
necessary to use circulars and the
state press.
Qunte a little space has been taken
of late, the list including some news
papers that had heretofore barred this
kind of advertising.

RAILROADS TO OBEY THE LAW.
State Board Will Enforce Laws Re.
qardinq Rates and MILEAGE Books.

The state board Of railway commits
sioners, composed of c. S. Diesam,
Eric Stafne and Simon Westby and
secretary of the board, j. W. Foley,
held session at the court house at
Fargo last week, and they had a good
deal of business come before them.
Attorney General McCue also was
present as an advisor.
The division superintendent of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
appeared before the board and were
given a hearing as to the train service
and other matters.
There are several branch roads of
no very great length all over the
state. On the majority of them only
one passenger train day is rum
while the freight trains run tri-
weekly. The new law requires that
there shall be one freight and one
passenger train each day. The rail-
roads complain of this, stating that if
this law is to be strictly enforced they
will be obliged to run mixed freight
and passenger train. In some places
the patrons of the road are Directing
to this, stating that they can get much
better service by leaving matters
stand as they do now. No orders were
made on this question, but the COM
missioners will investigate further,
and this provision of the new law will
not be enforced at the present time.
In the matter of the coal rates the
railroads and attorney general have
agreed to take up the question at once,
this being the action of the board on
the matter. Another matter that
came up was that of the 2-cent mile
age books, the new law requiring a
2 1-2-cent general rate and a 2-ctnt
rate for 1,000-mile books. The ccm-
panies have generally accepted the
2 1-2-cent rate. but have made no pro-
vision for the mileage book rate. This
matter will also be taken up by the
attorney general, who has been in
structed to start suit if the companies
persist in refusal of the milelge hook
rate. There is spirit Of acting fair
by both the railroad people and the
state commission, but several matters
will yet likely have to be duplicated
in the courts of the state.

for vetoing the resolutions declaring
for creosoted block pavement and
awarding the contract to the Kettle
River Quarries company, The mayor
contended that the pavement proposed
was too expensive for small property
owners included in the district to be
repaved, and suggests that the paving
district be changed.
He also asserts that 1t is better to
postpone the paving until next year, so
that certain sewer and water improve
ments can be made.

Naval Move Peace Measure.
Oyster Bay, N. T., July 8.-The sig.
nificance of Rear Admiral Brownson'a
addition to the somewhat meager in.
formation which has come from Presi-
dent Roosevelt regarding the contem.
plated twoocean maneuver of the
Atlantic battleship fleet is regarded
here as having been overlooked in the
comment, expert and otherwise,
which has since been INDUCED in on
both continents. Admiral Brownson
came to Oyster Bay Friday to take
lunch with the president, protesting
entire ignorance of the maneuver
plans.
Show What We Can Do.
When he left Sycamore Hill to take
the train for Washington the admiral
had one thought which he wished to
emphasize-thati it was desirable and
important to demonstrate to the world
how quickly the American navy could
transfer its fighting strength from
one ocean to the other. President
Roosevelt has been consistent in ad.
vocating large navy as the surest
guarantee of peace between the Unit
ed States and all foreign powers. He
now proposes to give the world a
somewhat startling demonstration Of
what the American navy Is capable Of
doing to protect either or both of the
extended shores of the United States.
Guarantee Of Peace.
AS Admiral Brownson said, There
is no time like the present for such
a demonstration time when the
United States is at perfect peace with
every nation.
While it is asserted with all posi-.
BILE emphasis that there is no founda.
ton for apprehension of trouble, i'm.
mediate or future, between the Unit
ed States and Japan, the proposed
demonstration with the fleet can be
looked upon in no other light than
that President Roosevelt intends to
use the American navy for exactly
that purpose for which he has advo.
Gated its augmentation, a guarantee
of international peace.
