What THEY SAY ]

Capital City Visitor: Numerous
improvements and ARRANGEMENTS are
noticeable at the Capital City. Pro
erosion seems to be the local slogan,
and as a result of the aggressiyeness
on the part of your business people,
several large and handsome structures
have been erected since my last, visit
here, which is only plain proof that
Bismarck is substantial business
center. Visitors from the eastern
portion Of the state cannot help but
admit that the state capital is proper
ly situated after all. The Slope coun-
try holds out numerous inducements
to permanent homeseekers, and from
personal observations there are many
reasons to believe Bismarck in par
ticular is entering upon an era Of re
markable advancement

q For the past two or three months
the new -four mill of the Missouri VAL
ley Milling company has been delayed
in grinding flour through the lack Of
power, the mill being fitted with
electric driving machinery dependent
upon the local electric works for the
essential electricity. The Hughes
Electric company was delayed in full
filling it's part Of the contract through
the lateness in the arrival of new
machinery expressly designed to fur
snish power to manufacturing plants,
but 1t finally arrived and Friday the
mill started upon it's business of
grinding the famous Climax flour
which Bismarckers have come to APP
preciate to it's full merit, which is
saying a good deal. M
& The capacity Of the mill is now 200
barrels per day, but there is room in
the building for additional machinery
which will increase the output to 300
barrels. The fittings and furnishings
of the mill are up to date and the city
can congratulate itself that once
more the merry hum of the rolls is
heard in the land.

B Do. :
Attorney General McCue, upon as
suming Office, Immediately took up the
matter of complaints received regard
ing the non-observance of the maxi
mum Ignite coal rate law by the rail
roads of this state. He has sent a let
ter to each of the three coal-hauling
roads, the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and 500, calling their atten-
ton to the complaints received and
automatically setting forth that if the
noncompliance has been through over
sight and if they propose to comply
with the law hereafter it will be sat
isfactory to the state, but If the non
observance of the law is intentional
and the companies intend to evade its
provisions, the attorney generals
office will at once proceed against the
companies to compel the observance
of the law. 8 as
This prompt and positive action Of
the attorney general will bring the
matter to a speedy determination and
the question of the powers of the
state to regulate coal rates will be de
cided. s3s.3s IN,

COWAN MAY QUIT
DEVILS LAKE JOURNAL MAKES
THE ANNOUNCEMENT, SAYING N
III THIS 5I5 N h,
WILL BE DONE IF. MccLoRY
CAN SUCCEED HIM ON THE
ss BENCH Al s.. IA.

Devils Lake Journal: It is report
ed today that Judge John F. Cowan
may resign the district judgeship and
resume the practice of law in this
city. The report is also current that
in the event of his resignation the
Judge will take John Burke's place in
the we'll known law firm of Burke &
Middaugh. Y
There is, of course, much specula-
ton as to who is likely to be APP
pointed to fill the vacancy should the
Judge resign. Those who pretend to
be on the inside say that Attorney P.
]. McClory is the most likely candi-
date, that in fact unless it seems rea-
sonably certain that the governor will
appoint Mr.. McClory. Judge Cowan
will not resign. States Attorney Ser
umgard has already announced his
candidacy, and there will doubtless be
others in the field. ss
1t is generally admitted that Judge
Cowan is one of the best trial lawyers
in the state and the salary of dis
trict judge is small recompense for a
lawyer Of his ability. @

The correspondent of the Valley
City Times-Record conveys to his
paper the surprising statement that
although there is an apparent balance
of $4,000 in the general fund at the
first of the year, there are unpaid
bills to the extent of s115,000 to be
met. If the correspondent had taken
the pains to inquire Of the state
auditor he would have discovered
that the statement is entirely devoid
of truth, and that the outstanding
bills were practically cleaned up be-
fore Governor Burke took his seat. 1t
is apparent that the correspondent of
the Times-R Record takes little pride in
his reputation for truth or accuracy.
His statement is so entirely ridiculous
as hardly to need denial.

The report of the state Irvine plant
which will be laid before the legisla-
ture within few days will convey to
them information respecting the wis
dom of the legislature in providing
for this institution some years ago.
In addition to supplying an excellent
grade of Irvine, the establishment of
the plant has tended to regulate the
price of binder Irvine and has proven
also a source of profit to the state
Last years profits are something over
$4,000. Collections have been close
and in the years since the plant was
established there has been an almost
insignificant amount of bad debts
The increase Of the output of the
plant would seem to be justified by
good business sense and sound judg
ment, considering the successful ma
ture Of the venture up to the present
| time. r

the moral aad intellectual standard of

a move in the right direction. The gov

should receive sufficient compensation to
make him independent Of, instead of de-
pendant ON, the courtesies OF Transport

people have confidence and the one they
can trust is one whose time and services
are worth more than the people now

North Dakota have done more to assist
in the building UP Of the state than all
other efforts combined. And for this
reason the merchants of the towns and
cities throughout this state should see
10 it that their efforts are repaid by a
liberal patronage. The publisher Of the

the town is laid out and begins to sing
the praises of our town and he never

The resolution of Mr.. Aaker for an
inquiry into the feasibility of estab-
fishing a state printing plant at the
Denitentiary is doubtless an indica-
ton that there is a sentiment against
the repeal of the libel law-rather a
tendency to make it's provisions more
severe and stringent-to provide
plenty Of material for work in the
proposed plant, and to keep available
a constant supply of newspapermen
and printers through the operations
of the libel law. -.

SHIP SUBSIDY DISCUSSION.

A resolution declaring against the
ship subsidy measure now pending
and criticising news dispatch in
the Minneapolis Journal as authority
for information regarding the bill that
warranted action by the house in in
structing its representatives in con-
gress to vote against the measure,
was presented by Mr.. Sorley of Grand
Forks and furnished an exciting and
interesting debate. Mr.. Stevens of
Burleigh county opposed the resolu-.
ton, upon the ground that the house
should not act upon a matter of this
Importance and declare itself with
reference to the matter with as little
real information regarding the real
nature Of the bill as there was at
hand. The democratic members of
the house were naturally in favor Of
the resolution and had it not been for
the clear presentation of the other
side of the question by Mr.. Stevens,
Buttz, Shirley, Streeter and others,
the resolution might have passed AS
it was, the resolution was emasculated
of the part that the majority deemed
Objectionable and not the sentiment
of the house. s5
The whole matter proves the I'M
{ wisdom Of taking action hastily upon
matters of such far reaching inn
portance. 1t is doubtful If, many
members of the house are acquainted
with the provisions of the bill Be
cause Hill, Hartman and others, who
maintain large steamship lines, would
benefit in a degree is no reason for
declaring that the measure must be
wrong. Fill has been consistent

and if the products of the northwest
could be borne to foreign ports in
greater quantity and by American
ships, it is possible that producers
would profit in an even greater de
gree than Mr.. Hill. Ship subsidy has
been discussed for years and the
president, members of his cabinet and
many of the leading men of the
country are in favor Of some measure
that will rebuild and restore the
merchant marine of the United
