the road and gradually soften the
foundation so that in time the grade
is seriously injured if not entirely de-
stroyed. This requires a system of
side drainage which can often only be
accomplished by the accurate use OF
the surveyors instruments.
After this is done, it is then import
ant that the road be constructed with
the least cost to the public, and this
can certainly be best accomplished
by the use of standard road building
machinery. One of these machines
will do the work of dozen men and
the cost is comparatively small so
that it is reality a saving in actual
expenses. 1t is doubtful if the use
of the right to purchase such machin-
cry will ever be abused and if it as
sists in the development of high
grade road system for the state, it
will do more for the people than al
most any other internal improvement
would do.

ANOTHER BREAK
IN STOCK MARKET
t.t. s...sf
Excitement Revived Today and
Decline of Disturbing Pro.
1 portions Occurred.

Annotated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, March 18.-Excitement
was revived in the stock market today
by a break of disturbing proportions
in the opening dealings. The outpour-
ing of stocks was attributed mostly to
the rush to realize at the buoyant re-
covery which had been achieved on
Friday and Saturday from the extreme
depression Of Thursday. Speculative
sentiment was practically agreed that
the recovery had been too violent and
too rapid to be healthy. Wide de-
clines registered in London before
the market opened here shook the
nerves of many holders who had fair
ly weathered the storm of last week.
The large reductions of short accounts
resulting from the rush to cover on
Saturday also deprived the market of
an element of support and there was
reselling of stocks bought at de-
cline merely for the purpose of sup
porting the market.

Or the Story OF How Ireland Was Rid
OF Its Last Reptile.

In the Legends of the South of Ire
and" collected by Crofton"Croker, We
find the following true story Of how
ST. Patrick banished the last snake
from Ireland" being the accepted
story among the Irish peasants"
"Sure every one has heard tell of
the blessed Saint Patrick and how he
druv the sarpints and all manner Of
he bothered the var.nint entirely. But,
for all that. there was one old sarpint
left who was too cunning to be talked
out of the country and made to drown
himself. St. Patrick did not know how
to manage this fellow, who was doing
great havoc, till at long last he be-
thought himself, and got strong iron
chest made with nine bouts upon it.
So one fine morning he takes a walk
to where the sarpint used to keep; and
the sarpint, who did not like the saint
in the least-and small blame to him
for that-began to hiss and show his
teeth at him like anything. OH says
st. Patrick, says he, where's the use
of making such piece of work about
gentleman like myself coming to
see you? 'Tis nice house have got
made for you agin the winter; for
I'm going to civilize the whole coun-
try, man and beast says he, and you
can come and look at it whenever you
please, and it's myself will be glad to
see YOU The sarpint, hearing such
smooth words. thought that though St.
Patrick had druv all the rest of the
sarpints into the sea, he meant no
harm TO himself; so the sarpint
walks fair and easy up to see him and
the house he was speaking about, but
when the sarpint saw the nine bouts
upon the chest he thought he was
sould (betrayed), and was for making
off with himself as fast as ever he
could. ''Tis nice, warm house, you
see,' says st. Patrick, and tits good
friend am to YOU Thank you kind

AN INEVITABLE RECORD.

The Grand Forks Herald has the
unique distinction of having been the
only newspaper in the state that was
ever officially branded as falsified
by the highest law making body in the
state. In fact, so far as the matter
has been investigated it is the only
one in the entire country that has been
declared a falsifier of the Of the news
in order to carry out a narrow politi-
cal policy.
In the Journal of the senate of jan
uary 80, on page II can be found the
following resolution:
Resolved, that the committee of
the whole condemns as manifestly
unfair, grossly inaccurate and untruth-
full, the published reports of the ses-
sion of the senate on the Goth inst,
and of the republican caucus of the
same date in the Bismarck CORE
spondence of the Grand Forks Herald
of the o."
The record further states that in
the session of the senate to which the
report quoted above was made, Mr..
Little moved that the report be adopt
ed; that roll call was demanded and
that there were thirty aver, four nays
and six absent and not voting.
That is an official endorsement of
which any newspaper might we'll be
ashamed. The most conservative body
of men in the state who were
thoroughly conversant with the facts
placed themselves on record as de.
claring that the differences. of the
Herald were grossly inaccurate and
untruthful." No stronger language
could have been used and the records
permitted to retain that dignity which
should attach to the same.

THE DAY AFTER ST.PATRICK'SDAY

/. IL for your ciyility,' says the sarpint,
but think it is too small it is for
meaning it for, an excuse-and
away he was going. Too SMALL?
says St Patrick..: stop, if you please
says he::you're out in that, my boy,
anyhow:l am sure it will fit you
completely; and III tell you what he
says, Ill bet YOU a gallon of porter
says he, that if YOU will only try and
get in-there'll be plenty of room for
YOU The sarpint was as thirsty as
could be with his walk, and twas
great joy to him the thoughts of doing
St. Patrick out of the gallon of porter;
so, swelling himself up as big as he
could. in he got into the chest, all but
little bit of his tail. There now,'
says he, I've won the gallon, for you
see the house is too small for me, for
l can't get in my tall When, what
does St. Patrick do but he comes be-
hind the great, heavy lid of the chest,
and, putting his two hands to it, down
he slaps it with bang like thunder.
When the rogue of sarpint saw the
lid coming down, in went his tail like
shot, for fear of being whipped off
him, and +; Patrick began at once to
boult the nine iron bouts. % MUIR
der! won'tyou let me out, st. Patrick%
says the sarpint. I've lost the bet
fairly, an I'll pay you the gallon like
man. Let you out, my darling!'
says st. Patrick. To be sure I will,
by all manner of means; but you see
have not time now, so you must
wait till tomorrow. And so he took
the iron chest and the sarpint in it,
and pitches It into the lake here,
where he ito this hour for certain;
and it is the sarpint struggling down
at the bottom that makes the waves
upon it. Many is the living man
has heard the sarpint crying out from
within the chest under the water: is
tomorrow come yet? Is tomorrow
come yet?' which, to be sure, it never
can be. And that's the way St.
Patrick settled the last of the sar-
pints."

FOR BETTER ROADS.

The change made in the law at the
last session of the legislature which
now allows township supervisors to
purchase three hundred dollars worth
of road machinery without first sub
hitting the proposition of making
such purchase to vote of the people,
will, it is thought, enable the town
ships to make considerable improve
ments in their roads. While it is
wise to safeguard the interests of the
public in the way of permitting or
rather prohibiting the purchasing of
expensive road machinery for which
the public must pay, it must also be
recognized that nothing is more i'm
pertant to the development and per-
manent prosperity of country than
good roads. Especially is this true in
agricultural countries where the pro-
ducts of the farm, which are the coun-
try's source of wealth, must be con-
veyed to market over these roads.
The construction of roads by hand
tools is as much thing of the past
as is the harvesting of the wheat crop
by means of the old time hand cradle,
or the threshing of the same on
chan piling thresher. Roads are con-
structed now by the use of machinery
and the purchasing of a needed sup
ply of such machinery by township
is more and indication of progress
than of extravaganza. This is now
possible under the law as the cleo
tors by vote on the matter either
at general or special election may
purchase whatever they desire.
Another good measure in the inter-
ests of good roads was the bill re-
curing the county survey to SUPER
wise in way, the roads of the coun-
ty are constructed and maintained ac-
cording to the best road building sys-
TENS. Plans should be, prepared by
some one competent to do SO, and
roads Should be constructed accord
ing to them. This is especially true
in country like North Dakota where
dirt roads must be almost exclusively
used because of the scarcity of harder
Gaping materials. ss;se
One of the important matters in the
construction of roads under such cir
cumstances in the drainage. In
nat country this is sometimes not only
Mhacult but impossible except by ac-
curate surveys. Not only must the
water be conveyed from the surface
Of the roadbed but 1t must be carried
away SO that It will not seep under

Several features were forced into
the primary election bill by the con-
sentative members of the house which
will be found among the strongest
safeguards of the peoples rights.
Among these is the amendment which
was placed in the measure by Repre-
sentative Stevens providing that the
name of not more than one candidate
shall be placed on the same sticker to
be used on the official primary ballot,
This is intended to prevent the conf
binations which get together before
the primaries and formulate a ticket,
the names of the candidates of which
are printed on blanket sticker and
pasted on the ticket without any con-
sideration or thought.

the movement, was dared to name the
