most important from political stand
point, especially in its relation to
North Dakota. Thi, state has two
parallel lines of railroad running ac-
cross 1t, but only one intersecting

North Dakotans to get to st. Paul

Most of them are maintained with
the intention of evading the laws of
both countries, especially in the sale
of spirituous liquors. One of the
most noted of these is located near
Fort Covington. The boundary line
runs diagonally through the store
and split the bar right half in two.
When a customer appears the barten-
der sets the bottle on his side of the
boundary line, and the patron draws
it across the counter, thereby taking
it out of the country, which relieves
the bartender of any fault.
The proprietor of this place is a
genial fellow who has been conduct

without interruption. In order to
secure convection the Government

accurate survey made, and prove hey

each bottle was placed. That this
is almost an imposslbility the Gov
eminent of both countries have found
to their sorrow on several occasions.
The goods on the shelves of the
store are kept on the side belonging
to the country where they are bought.
In the course of a day hundreds Of
dollars worth of merchandise Is dis
posed of, both from Canada and part
from America. The proprietor COM
mands large trade and secures "a
larger profit than ordinary merchants
doing busin,s on either side of the

customer telling him whero they are
from. merely requiring that they pay
ca,h and take there purchase away
with them.
Little attempt Is made by the Off

that it almost impossible to prove Just
