thing about it..
| Fournier said that he had
sworn falsely on the stand rela-
tive to his returning to his cabin
ON April 7, 1904.
He said to the Pioneer repre-
sentative, who saw him in his cell
before he left for Saltwater:
II ain innocent. I don't know
who committed the crime, but it
might have been Shorty and
Caldwell. Shorty was not at
home when [ got back from
Buena Vista. [ hollered three
times before he came out Of the
woods from the north. He had
Krueger's rifle with him and said
he had been setting snares for
rab bits.
"He and Shorty may have
known about the Dahl's, [ don t
know"
It is not believed that either
Fournier or Wesley will ever tell
the real truth of their connection
with the killing of the Dahl's, as
there is still an Indictment stand
ing against them, charging each
of them with having killed Aagot
Dahl, and any statement they
might make now would undouht-
ed)y have a bearing on that
crime.

A GOOD SCHEME.

The concurrent resolution which
was passed by the legislature in the
last few hours of the session pro-
viding for the adoption of constitu-
tional amendment in reference to the
methods of disposing of the state
school and institution lands was one
of the wisest business measures which
the legislature enacted. The proposed
amendment permits the purchaser of
any of the state lands to pay for the
same and receive a title from the
state at the end of any interest pay
ing period after the expiration of the
first five years, by paying six months
interest in advance.
There is something to be looked
after in the disposal of these lands
besides the mere accumulation OF a
gigantic fund. important as that is.
The state needs working farmer
on every quarter section of tillable
land. 1t not only needs him as a
citizen but it needs him as a tax
payer and a contributor to the gen.
eral prosperity of the state. The
state school and institution lands are
often the best in the communities and
while they increase in value because

psychological moment had come and
the senate was in the mood to catch
the inspiration of the principles which.
lay behind the resolution. 1t was in
troduced and passed with display
of patriotic fervor that would have
done honor to the original event
which the resolution was seeking to
commemorate. 1t was sent to the
house and at the suggestion of Re-
preventative Stevens was concurred
in, spread upon the house records and
the senate was notified of the action
of the house within four minutes after
the time it had reached that body.
The sentiment is in such harmoni-
GUS keeping with the teachings and
ideals of the president that there is
hardly room to doubt but that he will
act upon the suggestion and comply
with the requests of the resolution.
Should he do so, instead Of the fall
ing away of the patriotism which was
so remarkable in the early days of
the republic, Americans who have
carried their enterprises into every
quarter of the earth will stand with
uncovered heads beneath the stars
and stripes while hundred million
voices unite in the rendition of the
inspiring melodies which have led
men to face death unf1inchingly on a
thousand battlefields, and inspired the
souls of patriots to rise to the sub
FINEST heights of devotion to country
and mankind, and all blended with the
gentle words of that sweetest of all
refrains, especially to him who wan
ders in strange land, Home, Sweet
Home"
Senator Taylor has set in motion
a plan which in the years to come,
following the course of the midday
sun in his circuit through the heavens,
will on the natal day of the nation,
encircle the earth with one ringing
and inspiring strain of patriotism and
love of home and native land.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1907-03-14

of the general development Of the
country, they remain, nevertheless,
mere waste places in what should be
prosperous communities. They con-
tribute nothing to the taxes of either
the state or the county. The property
which their cultivation would add to
the taxable value of the state is lost.
While it is true that this land, es-
pecially in the older parts of the
state never goes begging for purchas-
ers it is also true that much more
of it would be sold if the purchasers
did not have to wait twenty years
to complete their title to the same
and get it so that it is a marketable
commodity. This has been impossi-
BILE under the twenty year contract
system in vogue in the state in the
past.
The new plan, if it should be adopt
ed. will open the way for both the
man who has little money and de-
sires to secure home with small
payment and the opportunity to make
the rest of the purchase price out of
the land and his own energy, as we'll
as the man who desires to convert
the raw prairie into productive
farm and put his energy and his
business sagacity on the market in
the sale Of the same after it is I'M
proved. The only objection which
can be urged against the disposal OF
the lands in the manner proposed UNI
der the constitutional amendment is
that there is already a large sum of
money In the state educational fund
which the board of university and
school lands finds considerable diff
Guilty in investing at profitable rates
of interest, and the old plan prac-
tically invests the purchase price for
twenty years at the time of the sale.
The payment of six months interest
in advance allows the board that time
to secure an investment for the mon
ey without loss of interest to tile
: state. 1t is thought the plan pro-
posed will cause more rapid settle
ment of the state school and institu-
ton lands and will materially in
crease the taxable property Of the
state, thereby reducing the taxes of
the entire people.

Sentiment to be 1nculcated.
TRUE PATRIOTISM.

Senator Taylor of this city inau-
gurated a plan while at Bismarck
which is destined to make the prin-
ciples which should make the observ-
ance of our national birthday world
wide and at the same time inspire
the patriotism of Americans in every
land and in every cline. He intro
duced in the senate the following re-
solution, which was later passed by
the house and properly engrossed and
sent to the president of the United
States through the proper official
channels:
Be 1t resolved by the senate of the
state of North Dakota, the house of
representatives concurring:
That for the purpose of promoting
and perpetuating the love of home,
country and the flag among American
citizens wherever dispersed upon the
face of the earth, the president of the
United States be, and is hereby, re-
spectfully requested to issue, thirty
days prior to the Fourth of July,
1907, and upon the same day every
year thereafter, proclamation to the
following effect:
That at one O'Clock p. NJ, WASH
ington time, July the Fourth, or such
other time on that day as may seem
most expedient, and at the same hour
in all other climes and countries ac-
cOrding to the separate divisions of
standard time within the United
States and as calculated by astrono-
mical deduction elsewhere throughout
the globe, American citizens be urged
to assemble in such groups or assem-
blages as may be most convenient
and unite in singing Home, Sweet
Home" America" and "Star Span
gled Banner" and that military, ma
rine and other bands, wherever posi-
BILE, render the notes of these inspir-
ing airs in military establishments,
upon warships and in civic assem-
blages of citizens, that the echoes of
these patriotic and exalting airs may
be heard at the same hour and minute
around the world, and be it further
Resolved, That this suggestion be
conveyed to the president of the Unit
ed States by the secretary of state
of North Dakota through copy of
these resolutions properly engrossed.
The history of the development of
the idea is interesting. 1t was form
ulated two years ago while the SEN
ator was serving his first term in the
state senate, but, as he expressed it,
the psychological time for it's intro
duction had not yet arrived and he
carried it till the present session was
well advanced He had the resolu-
ton prepared and on his desk ready
to be introduced at any time. At the
opening of the senate session on
March fourth, the sun shone from a
sky as blue as those of Italy and the
crispiness of the air was lust suffi-
Gent to give to every person
an inspiration to the things which
are highest and noblest in life. The

FARGO DAY At THE STATE FAIR
Probable That One Day Will Be Set
Aside Fer People in Town Up
the Creek,

1t is possible that a day will be
set aside at the state fair in Grand
Forks this year for Fargo. Two years
ago at the state fair here there was a
Fargo day, while last year in Fargo
there was Grand Forks day. If the
town up the river can get enough peo-
pie together, it is probable that day
will be set aside for their benefit this
year.

of the State Fair association of Grand
Forks was held Wednesday,. Matters
pertaining to exhibits and privileges
were discussed at the meeting.

STILL PLUNDERING.

A few months ago the Herald made
a set Of special assessment records
for the city of Grand Forks upon
which no bids were asked and it
charged the city $4,000. Since that
time the city needed duplicate
set of the same books and asked
for bids on the same. The Evening
Times bid $50 on the job and at that
price was making a good business
profit. The Herald bid on the same
job $49.50 and was awarded the con-
tract. The Evening Times has no
objection to the contract being award
ed to the Herald at the price, but it
does desire to call attention to the
difference which that institution
charged for work when it had no
opposition and what it charged for
duplicate of the same work when
there had been an increase in the
cost of printing materials, but in
which it was compelled to meet bust
ness competition.
If the Herald will indulge in such
sharp practices in its own city and
with the people who have always ac-
corded it liberal patronage, what
can the taxpayers of the state expect
from it when it secures county print
ing without competition? If it does
not hesitate to charge twenty-five per
cent more for a job than it is worth
in Grand Forks, would it hesitate to
do the same or worse in the counties?
Can such concern be trusted in the
handling of county and state print
ing? Is not the Herald still using
a duplicate system of It's famous thir-
ty-six per cent state printing steal?
One of the things which this city
needs in the way Of good advertising
material and one which should be
given attention by the Commercial
club is booklet illustrative of the
city and its advantages. The booklet
should be printed on high grade paper,
be brim full of illustrations and so
full of facts and information that it
would give the stranger a perfect and
comprehensive idea of the commercial
and material advantages of the city.
Let the Commercial club get busy.
Other cities in the state are doing
the same thing and Grand Forks can
not afford to be a trailer.
Grand Forks will ask for bids on
at least eight kinds of paving. Once
it was supposed there would be moth
ing considered except the creosote
blocks, but it now looks as though
there would be a chance to determine
the real cost and advantages of the
several kinds.
