Guardian
GiIIiIand
Was Removed
JUDGE LINDSAY ADMINISTERS A
FIERCE ROAsT-sAYS HE OUGHT
TO BE PUNISHED CRIMINALLY.

r. L. Gilliland was today removed as
guardian of Apio. In removing the
guardian the court took occasion to
administer a most scathing rebuke.
1t appears that about three years ago
an unsuccessful attempt was made by
an attorney, VINO has since died, to
force Gilliand to file statement of ac-
counts Recently e. c. Peters. the At
torney General took up the matter and
had presented a petition asking for the
removal of the guardian But Judge
Lindsay did not remove the guardian
on motion of Peters, but of his own
volition went after GilHland. I'm pass
ing on the matter, the court said:
at seems to me to be mcoucciyable
that man of the intelligence Of Mr..
Gililand should act as he has done in
this case. ! can not worn up any SYM
pathy for a guardian who has been SO
negligent i'm the conduct of his wards
affairs. The record shows that for some
seventeen years he has been guardian
of this estate and he nd> filed no ac-
counts, Notwithstanding the efforts Of
an attorney who is now dead. to have
him file such accounts To say the
least and I want Mr.. Giniland to listen
specially to this, l think that his acts
i'm this case have been disgraceful, and
it is too bad he can not be punished
criminally, and to come in and say that
it was the negligence of the ward-if
there has been any negligence it should
accrue to the irresponsible and negli-
gent GUARDIANS to put up an absurd
ity. If she had been negligent that
would in no wise excuse him. | do not
know from the records in the case that
would feel safe in charging compound
interest but the court will charge him
with interest at the legal rate, that is,
the legal rate that existed during the
different periods in which he has been
guardian, to date, on the sum Of 1920. IS:
that is the court will allow a reasonable
time, six months. in which he should
have invested the wards money. and
charge him with interest on $29O.35 from
the 9Th day of March, 1891. in view OF
his negligence in all tn premises, no
commission shall be allowed him.
THE court of its own motion orders
Mr.. Gilliland discharged from the posi-
ton as guardian in the estate and or
ders him to turn the funds of the ward
into the court Immediately, forthwith,
after having surcharged him with these
sums of commissions $S.O7 and charged
him with interest as above indicated
by the court"
w. c. Achi, attorney for Giuiland,
gave notice of appeal to the Supreme
Court.

towns through which it might pass, it
would add but little to the trade, and on
the other hand would detract in most
cases by the establishment of other sta
tions near, which do not now exist. To
the farmers near the line it would be
very valuable because it would add
more stations and elevators, make COM
petition and hence easier to get cars.
10 Pembina, however, it would be a
distinct addition. Some trade might go
to the next station, say at Carlisle, but
that would be more than offset by the
fact that this must be to great extent
a terminal point, just as it is now to the

County Drainage Board

The county drainage board met at the
court room on Wednesday. Under the
new law the board re-organized by
selecting Charles Edwards of Drayton
president and William Surerus of Cava-
lier as secretary, Donald Beaton of Car
Isle is the other member, The new law
makes the board choose its president
and secretary from it's own membership,
but allows them to employ clerk when
business requires it. This to a certain
extent legislated H. G. Thomson of
Bowesmont out of office as secretary but
as the new law requires the board to
have an Office at the court house, Mr..
Thomson virtually resigned and Mr.. j.
ID. Winlaw of this city was elected clerk.
MIR. Thomson has made a very efficient
secretary ever since the state law was
passed, in what has been a rather diff
cult and at times strenuous position.
Mr.. Winlaw through his knowledge of
the county and county matters comes
we'll prepared for the position. Only
routine business was done and the
board adjourned yesterday.

s'Fighting Bob Evans says there will
be no lighting with Japan. AS "Fight-
ing Bob'' never did any fighting in his
life he is certainly in position to know.
Why the Grafton News and Times
should go out of its way to thus SANDER
respected officer of the U. S. navy we
cannot understand. Admiral Evans
might possibly be criticised for other
things, but to say that he never did any
fighting in his life, is not only untrue but
even the ordinary newspaper reader of
the present decade knows that it is un-
true. 1t is also possibly quite probable
that the soubriquet of "Fighting Bob
is more distasteful to him than to even
the News and Times.

MAKING A GOOD RECORD

In speaking of Alfred Blaisdell, the
present secretary of state, the Grand
Forks Times says:
"In these days of grand stand spec
tacular officials, it is gratifying to note
that the quiet, systematic manner in
which Mr.. Blaisdell is conducting his
Office is being appreciated by the con-
servative business element of the state.
He is the youngest state official ever
elected in North Dakota but during his
imcumbency he has made an excellent
public servant, retiring from the active
management of his large business inter
ests at Minot in order to devote his time
to the duties of his office.
When asked if he could afford to
neglect his personal affairs and as tc
whether the salaries paid the state off
cials were large enough he characters
tically replied that while he thought the
acceptance of a public Office certainly
did generally involve a personal sacri
flee and that he was satisfied.
Mr.. Blaisdell is more widely known ir
the western half of the state-popularly
known as the "slope"-but if he keeps
up his present record in Office he viii
not lack for friends in any section of the
state.''

The fact of surveying party bel ng in
town this week reminds us that, some
time ago this paper prophesied the
building of easterly and westerly lines
across this county and valley. A year
or more ago the 500 built q north and
south line that just touches this Red
river valley on the northern corner.
They have since built one line north
easterly in the valley crossing at Oslo
near Forest River. It is not at all pro-
bable that they will be content to Just
have one feeder from tho Jbountiful
bottom lands Of Lake Aggasiz. The
present rapid settlement Of the Canad-
ian northwest and western Dakota
means more xailways I'D TO the Canadi-
an northwest the Red river valley is the
natural gateway. The road s,are coming
sure. WhenS and inst where is another
matter and subject 70 conjecture.

A BODY BLOW

The news of thelweek is that Judge
Landis has fined the Standard Oil Co.,
nearly $4,000, Goo for taking rebates
from railway company.
This means much to the public. Not
this great amount of money large as it
is, but the principal involved. 1t shows
the possibilities of law when it is enforc.
ed. 1t is the place that the general
government and the governments OF
the states, have been trying for years
(Which to get the Standard Oil
and other monoplies; that is, by due
process of law to make them obey the
laws.
1t won't do to arbitrarily confscate
property offeven corporation, it must
be done according to law. For years the
government has been spreading the
meshes of the laws net, but with:the as
sistance of the.best counsel that money
could tuy, the Standare Oil has manag-
ed to slip out of the intricasies of the
law and practically 60 free.
Many people think that this fine will
amount to nothing to the Standard Oil
because they will just advance the
price of oil and the consumer will pay
the cash. But this is only superficial
view. Standard Oil became a practical
monopoly principally through the pur-
chased friendly or forced favors of the
railways. Because Standard Oil has
had q lower freight rate and other spe.
cial concessions than independent COM
panies, the latter have found it impossi-
BILE to compete with the Standard Oil
Go. Now, if the courts can make the
fines greater than the rebates IN freight,
then the Standard will have no advan-
tage ana independent companies can do
business.
OF course it will still take time to
break the power of this great octopus,
but with the help of the courts, and the
natural competition in the business, it
can be done, and will be done.

BUY COAL NOW

Dhe Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany are advertising in this issue for
people to order their coal in time SO as
not to:sutfer from shortage the next
winter. This is good talk and it is pro
bahle that some people at least, will
take advantage of the warning, and get
their coal as soon as possible. The
Company also sends us long article
for publication in which they explain
why this advertisement should be heed
ed. The substance of the article is that
the company Judging from last years
experiences, will not be able to furnish
cars in time.
This also seems to carry as a ,corollary
the fact that they will not be able to
furnish cars for the wheat and that the
northwest will again be unable to mar
ket its crop Immediately after harvest
because, if the wheat cars come, then
there lis no reason that they should not
be loaded with coal, and vice versa.
As we said in this paper some
weeks ago, it is all very we'll to tell the
people to buy their coal in the summer
and there are lots of persons who would
be glad to do SO if they had the ready
money. But here the money comes in
the fall, if it comes at all, and with the
present crop outlook, most people are
getting careful of assuming future obi
cations to pay, not to say anything
about present cash outlays for anything
not Immediately necessary.
1t has occurred to us that the coal and
and railroad companies can help out in
this matter without any particular loss
to themselves by shipping in coal to
the local dealers now, without the spec
ial orders of the the future customers,
and consumers. The coal companies
have and will have great stores of coal
on the Duluth docks, why not ship
this coal to the local dealers? Fill up
the local coal houses in the towns. Send
the coal to the local dealer now and give
him until November or December to pay
for it without interest. The only differ
ence in this case would be that the coal
would be here instead of at Duluth.
The money would be paid at the usual
time. Where the local dealer chose, he
could deliver to his local customer on
the::same terms. But now the whole
sale dealers are practically asking the
consumer to buy and pay for his coal
several months before he wants it, which
is certainly good business for the whole
saler.

University Summer School

university Summer school
The session of the University Summer
School, which closed August End, in
many respects was the most successful
ever held at the University. The enroll
ment was considerably larger and those
in attendance remained for longer
period.
Pembina county made by far the best
showing of the three counties holding
the summer school. Out of total of
liz resident teachers, "a were enrolled
during the term, forty. seven for the full
term of six weeks. Not only did this
county carry off the honors in the mat
ter of attendance but what is of still
greater Importance, the teachers from
this county carried off the lions share
of the standings received. Considering
the fact that Pembina county is farther
est away from the school, the showing
made was a credit to the teaching force
of the county and to all others concern
ed.
The teachers who showed by their at
tendance at the summer school that
they are desirious of improving their
qualifications will be given first consid-
Grafton in my recommendations to va
cancies in the schools of the county. l
hope the time will come when atten-
dance at summer school will be required
by school boards as an evidence of pro.
gressiveness on the part of the teacher.

A NEW RAILWAY

"A party of surveyors have gone thru
tthe county from Crystal via Cavalier,
Bath gate to Pembina. They were head
:inglfor Gretna and on telegraphic orders
from headquarters changed the Route
to Pembina. The surveyors were quite
communicative and said that they were
surveying for route that lis to be call
ed the Midland and to run from Calves
ton. Texas, to Winnipeg through Kansas
and South Dakota.
A road to run north and south from
the Gulf of Mexico and the boundary
line, west of the Missippi river was pro-
jected many years ago, on which talk
has been made in the newspapers on oc-
casion. Who are the promoters and the
capitalists behind the movement has
never been generally known, or at least
they have not been persons of general
reputation
Last winter, an attorney of this city
received communication from Chi
cago firm of attorneys stating that this
company would make preliminary sur
vey of the route this summer and would
come to Pembina and wanted to know
what the prospects we're for co operation
among the people here. The business
mems association made answer that we
would welcome such road and do all
possible to give it encouragement.
The surveying party we're here this
week and finished their survey by plac=
ing the final post about a block west Of
the N. P. depot in this city on Monday.
The road to be, crosses the river at the
farm of w. B. Hancock, running dia-
gonally through it. This is short dis
tance east of the Geroux bridge.
OF course there is much surmise and
wonder about the prospects and posi-
bilities Of the proposed road, but at this
time without something more definite
than we now know, it is hardly worth
while. to even guess. There are people
who think that the Midland is but q
blind and that the survey is really in the
interests Of the N. P. OF the 500, and
there are some grounds fer either guess
