lis the edo nothing" method, whereby
one rests secure in his consciousness
of rightful possession, content to
figure in the eyes of others as a mere
occupant. This answers for a time,
or until others propose to take a
more practical interest in the prop
erty, when the question of What's
your title7" has to be answered in
practical way. This do nothing
method thus revolves itself into a
mere procrastination.
Sooner or later every title must be
Established, and the best of all titles
are those based upon decree. In
seeking this decree, the owner has a
choice between two proceedings, al
ready familiarly known, one as the
l"McEnerney act" and the other as
the "Torrens act" the main distinc-
ton between which is that the form
er is-as It indeed is technically
called-an emergency act" while
the latter is for all time. Otherwise,
both are excellent, and It is satlsfac-
tory to find the disposition of the
Supreme Court to be to sustain
these laws, step by step, as they are
brought before them from time to
time This last decision, like those
preceding It, while It affects in name
only one of these laws, is conclusive
as to both. In the earlier cases, the
main contention was as to the suffic-
iency of notice to possible adverse
claimants. Here, It was as to
whether the act provides sufficiently
for assuring the court that these pos
sible. claimants were sought for The
decision holds that It does. However,
in the argument, the old question
could not but recur, and Justice
Shaw, In disposing of It, seems TO
have been mindful of the Torrens
act, as well as the act before him,
by the use of the words, SIMILAR

means" although the words this
means" wer quoted in the reported
show favorltism.
"The records" the court says,
"have all been destroyed, the ordi-
nary sources OF knowledge OF out
standing claims and means of proof
OF title are wanting, and hence the
title cannot be satisfactorily estab-
lished or quieted except by similar

Women who Wear Well.

It is astonishing how great change Q
few years OF married life often make IN
the appearance and disposition OF many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brIlliance vanish like the bloom from q
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
Of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock TO the system through the
change which Genes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect TO deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain Is robbing the cheek
Of It's freshness and the form Of Its
fairness.

Recently while well diggers

found. Shortly after a number OF
leases of land for purposes of pros

now at work in several places. The
geological formation is said to be
perfect for oil as this is on the low

SECT. BLAEDELL
STARTS REFNRM
SECRETARY OF STATE BLAISDELL MAKING
MANY REFORMS IN HIS OFFICE
SAVE MANY DOLLARS

Bismarck, N. d. May T.
Among the new state officials no
one is making bis influence felt for
the welfare of the state in such a
degree as Secretary of the State
Alfred Blaisdell of Minot.
Mr.. Blaisdell and his colleagues
have started several reforms in the
administration of the Office of the
secretary of the state which will
mean many dollars to the com
monwealth at the close of his
term of office.
One of these is the installation
of a new system of accounting
whereby the various expenditures
of the various departments can be
kept regulated. Under the new
system, close track is kept of the
disbursements of each department;
the disbursements are checked and
all possible extravaganza is elima-
ted.
While this innovation might be
considered bad one from a polit-
ical point of view, Mr.. Blaisdell
has taken the bull by the horns
and in his efforts to secure a better
and more business like system he
has the hearty cooperation of the
other state officials including the
governor.

FALLS FROM G. N.
BRIDGE AT MlNOI
JESS SKINNER, GOING TO BUFORD STEPPED
OFF BRIDGE AT MINOT AND IS
KILLED--FELL 100 FEET

Uuder. the impression that he
was about to step on firm ground,
Jess Skinner of Bird Island, MINI,
stepped off the extension bridge
near Gasman last evening about 8
o'clock. He fell over 100 feet and
was killed Instantly. Skinner was
thirty four years of age and leaves
a wife and four children at Bird
Island, MINI.
Skinner, together with a crew
of men, shipped out of Minot last
evening to work upon the irriga-
tion ditch above Buford. He was
in a box car with his .comrade.
Jess Carney. When the train of
six freight cars came to the high
bridge it stopped. Skinner told
his comrade that he would get
lantern and take it to car ahead
and then return to spend the rest
of the night with Carney. Skinner
opened the box car door and step
ped into space. Carney was to
have handed him the lantern but
great was his surprise to see him
drop from sight like a shot. He
heard him fall with a thud. The
train pulled over to the end of the
bridge and Carney together with
Henry Ford started to search for
the body. They found it face
downward. Both arms and legs
were broken and the body was
otherwise bruised but the features
of the man were intact.
Several men residing in the gully
We're called and they went to sum
mon Judge Murray. The Judge
was aroused at l o'clock this morn
ing and by 3 o'clock the body was
placed in McJannet's undertaking
parl lors.
Skinner had just arrived in Mi
not and was unfamiliar with the
country. Between the freight car
and the ed ge of the bridge there is
hardly space for man to stand.
1t is thought, however, that Skin
ner took leap forward thinking
he would land on the ground,
when he fell his comrades let a
lantern down to see if they could
locate the body from the bridge.
The rope was not long enough to
reach to the foot OF the gully.
Most of them thought that Skin
ner had fallen into the river.
An inquest was held this morn
ing. Judge Murray acting as cor
oner. The jury was composed OF
ID. II. Kimball, Ed Kelley and j.
p. Shield. A verdict of acciden-
tai death was returned. Six years
ago similar accident occurred on
bridge No. 10.
The body will be shipped to Bird
Island, Mimi, on No. 4 today
