THE CITY ELEC ION
Resulted In Favor of John a Musson
and n Baker

At the caucus a week ago Messrs.
Musson and Baker recei we'd the nomi-
nation for members of the council for
the ensuing term. But the action taken
there did not seem to satisfy every
body and resulted in bringing out two
other tickets, so the Citizens, the Peo-
pies and the lndependc had tickets
for the suffrages of the voters. There
was no agitation, but evidently quite
little activity judging from the 292
ticket seems to have had the advan-
tage and polled lis straight tickets.
Musson proved a good runner, com
ing in at the head with l9l votes.
Baker had 14S; Neff, rs; Hudler, 60;
Gardner, So: Burnside, As. They were
all good and capable citizens, and the
gentlemen chosen should give us eff
cient service.

A RruIrP EARDIruAn
Audubon, Iowa,
March 26 1907

March %, 1907.
In harmony with statement in
these columns three weeks ago, our
contest closed on Tuesday, March 26.
At our request the gentlemen named
above kindly checked up the record,
counted the votes and certified the re-
suit.
When the contestwas initiatedit was
hoped and expected that more would
participate which would have made it
much more lively as we'll as more pro-
titable. But most of those who had
| the disposition and the ability to do
so with hope of success were too busy
to take it up. The two young ladies
who made the canvas have done ex-
cellent work and in a way that has
been void of Otfense, at least no word
of complaint has come to this Office.
Miss Mack is vigorous and capable
young woman and good solicitor.
She could take her horse and buggy
and drive where she wanted to go. In
this way she had the advantage, but
the time at her command was quite
limited. Miss McNuttt is not strong
physically and in this respect she was
at disadvantages: but her age and
condition elected sympathy that
turned greatly to her advantage, and
in addition she had large number
of relatives to talk and work in her
favor. We trust the young ladies may
enjoy the prizes they receive and they
and their friends may remember the
contest with pleasure.

Caught And Fined

Some people are being caught and
fined for writing on newspapers OF
enclosing letters therein. An exchange
says that no less than ten people in
Glenwood and vicinity have been com
PEELED to pay fine of ten dollars each
for violating this federal law. In
many cases the offense is committed
by young people who should be in
structed in the law by their parents,
who will be compelled to pay the fine.

Mr.. c.. N. McIlvaine, the recently
appointed commissioner of immigra-
tisn of South Dakota, has been q
guest in the city, consulting with
Commissioner Gilbreath regarding
the work done by this state toward
bringing in desirable settlers. Mr..
McIlvaine says North Dakota is one
of the best advertised states in the
country, and he was anxious to learn
what methods were pursued by
Commissioner Gilbreath in the push
ing of immigration work. Mr.. Gil
breath supplied him with what infor-
nation he desired, and with the
literature Of the department of agri.
culture of this state, which has been
valuable in immigration work. The
high standard Of the work done b,
the department under Commissioners
Gilbreath is proven by the fact thai
the officials of other states are
anxious to take leaf out of NORTH
Dakota's book.

STATlSTICSlNCOMPLETE
PROBABLY NOT MORE THAN
HALF N. .. BIRTHS AND
DEATHS REPORTED.

While the state censuses of North
Dakota and South Dakota for 1905
showed that the population Of the
former state was the largest by sew
eral thousands, the population of
North Dakota being about t443, O0O,
and South Dakota about 435, 900,
the reports Of vital statistics for the
two states for March show a wide
disparity in favor of the southern
state.
The births in South Dakota during
March numbered 1,004, compared
with 545 for North Dakota, and the
deaths in South Dakota during the
same period numbered 371, COM
pared with 1852 in North Dakota.
The population gain in South Dakota
was 757, according to the figures
given, and the gain in North Dakota
was only 38S.
Apparently, much better results
are secured in the reports Of vital
statistics in South Dakota than in
this state. 1t is well known that the
repors in North Dakota are very
incomplete, some counties frequently
making no returns and physicians
lneglecting to make the reports to the
county officials. For instance, in
ltPembina county, during March, ac-
lcording to the official report Of Sec
iretary Grassick of the state board of
health, there were no births and no
deaths recorded, and in Logan, Bill
lings; Cavalier, Mercer and Ramsey
lcounties no deaths were reported.
Cass county made the best showing,
with 81 births. and 10 deaths re-
kcorded. About fourteenth OF the
population Of the state resides I'M this
county On a similar showing in
other counties, the births in North
Dakota in March should have num-
bered 756, but even in Cass county
the reports are very incomplete.

The Herald thinks the business en-

little ginger, when they permit
this valuable advertising matter to
remain as old junk in a depot. Posi-
bly, the supreme court may get a
chance to pass on this fragrant
breach of good Judgment. &.

Especial Correspondence
Ever since the grange made educa-
ton the most prominent feature in its
work it has had a powerful ally in
the grange press, and the managers
of periodicals in general have been able
seconds. The rapid increase several
years since in the number of oranges
in New Hampshire in the membership
and in the favorable change in public
sentiment in relation to the work Of
the Order of Patrons of Husbandry was
materially aided by the support of the
press The mission of the grange, the
steady, persistent and unseltish efforts
of its leaders. would have commended
the Order to the serious attention of
thoughtful people, but its progress
would have been comparatively slow
without the aid of the press. Having
realized the possibilities of the grange,
the editorial fraternity increased its
interest and renewed its activity until
at the present time nearly every pc
riodical in New Hampshire has some
of its force identified with and actively
engaged in the pcrpetuity of the Order.
In its infancy newspaperdom was

II to the public. Today it Is most
powerful factor in the dissemination
| of the conclusions of the eSsayist ana
of the debater and in the introduction
of new features in the literary pro-
grammeS. for 1t is recognized Ivy every
proficient lecturer that a SalnenesS IN
the literary programme begets drowsi-
ness. and drowslness breeds dormancy.
Having acquired the distinction in New
Uampshire of keeping the greatest
per cent of active oranges in the whole
number organized. we are emulous to
maintain our standing.
Upward of two years ago, in re
sponse to the requests of the editors
of grange papers and of the man
ayers of grange departments ana IN
accord with the desires of editors IN
general. the grange press bureau was
established. and since that time the
manager has never failed to furnish
weekly letter, containing an epitome
of the reports sent him by the CORE
spondents in each grange in the Granite
State to all periodicals that desire tt
publish it, We have had grange pa
pers and grange departments in news
religious and secular papers, but tht
bureau Is tin most satisfactory ano
successful. No grange paper in TINS
state ever had a thousand paying sub
scribers, and the grange department
reached only few thousands, but som'
part of the bureaus weekly letter II
read by upward of a million people.
