The Law, The Herald and the
Court House.

Our esteemed contemporary,
the Medora Herald, has a long
article in last weeks issue in which
it attempts to reply to the critic
ISM of the CHRONICLE and the
Republican in respect to the ac-
hon of the county commissioners
in attempting at this time to build
:, court house. The learned editor
nus devoted a column and a half
% the matter, containing chiefly,
she provisions Of the North Dakota
Code upon the matters pertaining
10 the maintenance and erection
Of court houses. As far as he
has quoted the statutory provis-
IONS, we have no quarrel with
:lim. He seems to have been
able to do that much we'll as far
as he went. It's only when he
tries to deduct reasons therefrom
in support of the action of the
county commissioners that he
loses himself in the mazes of
subtle logic.
His chief argument outside the
devious and ERRONEOUS differences
he deducts from the provisions of
the code, is forsooth, that Sentinel
Butte and Beach are envious of
of Medor,., and that the whole
object of their protest is to secure
the county seat for themselves.
We have entered into no argu-
nent as to the relative merits of
any of the three towns in question,
us the proper place for the county
seat. What we arc addressing
ourselves to, is what we consider,
tho unwarranted and unlawful
attempt OF the county commission
rrs to build court house. when
the people decided last fall that
none should be built for the pres
cnt. The jealousy, envy or petty
spite of the respective towns, has
no bearing upon this proposition.
Granting that Medora is the
proper place for the county seat,
granting that it is justly entitled
to the same; does that warrant or
Justify the county commissioners
in violating the expressed wishes
"f the people and ovsruIiny the
plain mandate of the law in at
tempting to build II court house
now. Let it be understood, for
all time, that the county seat is
not Indispensable to Beach.
Beach is and will be the largest

er mans property. would not be-. to sen.
sible peoples ideas. very good policy"
As to this proposition we would suggest
to the Herald that it doesn't seem to w to
be the part of wisdom to erect the kind OF
building which can be put up for three or
four thousand dollars A building of that
sort must necessarily. be soon out.grown
and become worthless encumbrance
upon the county. 1t seems to our poor
judgem ent to be more compatible with
good sense for the county to continue to
pay few hundred dollars in rent for the
next three or four years until the people
vote sufficient funds 10 build court house
worthy Of the name rather than put three
or four thousand dollars into building
which it would be misnomer to call a
court house. Moreover the fact that we
should improve another mans property in
an effort thereby to save ourselves loss and
needless expense would not. it seems to us,
strike the average man as very cogent
reason for refusing to make such improve
ments.
However. the great capital reason for
the Herald advocacy of building at
this time, as indicated in its opening
statement and but thinly yelled at
that. is the desire to get a. lead
pipe cinch upon the county seat. by having
the cou nty invest some money in build
ing
We can sympathize with such commend
able spirit and zeal for ones own town.
But this is by no means the concern alone
of the Herald or of the good citizens of
Medora but of all the people of the county
and they cannot permit the local pride or
interest of any individual or community to
put them to unwise needless, unwarrented
and unlawful expense

ANOTHER VIEW CONSTRUCTION OF MAMMOTH CAR WORKS +

The growth of Hammond may best
be illustrated by achievements that
are at present under way and which
speak for themselves, individually.
The accompanying cuts of course give
but limited idea OF what is being
undertaken and rapidly pushed to-
ward completion in this progressive
era of the city's prosperity. 1t would
be impossible to give anything like a
comprehensive view of the strides that
are being made on every hand, but
these are examples of some of the most
striking undertakings that have
sprung into existence during the past
few months
Not only is the city developing rap
idly as to its commercial features, but
in matters spiritual as well as social
the citizens are keeping pace with this
march of progress. New churches are
being built and clubs being organized.
The Methodist church is rapidly near
ing completion and plans have been
begun for a new Masonic Temple as
the accompanying cuts viii illustrate.
This is but a glimpse into what Is
being accomplished on every hand in
the heart and on the outskirts of this
future great municipality.
IN the meantime the city admins
tration is contemplating extensive pub
lie improvements. There is talk Of
new city hall. two new fire stations
are under consideration and new
high school is being agitated.
The federal government has al
ready extended helping hand in the
building of the new postoff1ce, which
is claimed to be one of the finest in
proportion to the size of the city of
any structure of its kind in the coun-
try.
With the gigantic private and cor
porate undertakings achieved all that
is needed now to make firm the foun-
dation of future greatness is the aid

Detroit, Mich, May 13.-The mag
nificent new passenger steamer City
of Cleveland, under construction at
the plant of the Detroit ShipbuiIding
company, for Detroit and Cleveland
Navigation Company, and designed to
run between Detroit and Cleveland,
was swept by fire early today and is
a total loss, except for her hull and
machinery. How much they have
been damaged cannot be determined
until a careful examination is made.
The loss, which falls upon the De-
troit Shipbuilding Company. a branch
of the American Shipbuiiding com
pany, is about 100000, and is fairly
well covered by insurance.
The fire broke out just before day
light in some myteSriOus manner.
There are rumors afoat that an in
cendiary is suspected. The officials
of the shipyard are at a loss to eX-
plain the fire, as there were TWO
watchmen on the steamer, and an
other at the gate TO the shipyaTd. The
