Alleged Payments of Money.

Orchard said Pettibone had several

he firmly held to all of his first stories

the long trying examination. Two more
crimes were brought home to Orchard
today; he confessed that he burned a
cheese factory in Ontario TO get $500

EDITORIAL COMMENT
This Is Gods Own Country.

Farmers from all parts of Northwestern
North Dakota inform the Independent that the
condition could not be more promising, both
for the growing OF wheat, and oats, flax, speltz
etc. The great amount OF moisture in the
ground started the crops growing even before
the first drop of rain fell, thing that demon
strates that it takes but one or two rains to
make crop in this country. 1--WE always get
plenty of rain and to spare.)
Many perhaps do not realize that the roots OF
wheat penetrate the ground to depth OF ten or
fifteen feet, seeking the moisture and this fact
in itself is enough to warrant US to bank on a
bumper crop. This together with the present
good prices with better prospects for the future;
is enough to make the average North Dakotan
Independently wealthy before the end OF the
year.
of other parts OF the United States. Those of
Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas have suffered
millions OF dollars worth OF damage from the
green bugs. Farmers Of Illinois, Michigan,
Iowa, and other eastern states have been CON-
PEELED to SOW their crops over twice on account
of the extremely cold weather. and the fruit
raisers will not get enough for their cropto pay
them to pick it.
The farmers of the eastern part of the state
have been unable do very little if any farm work,
owing to the west condition of the soil. In
Ward county many farmers have their crops al
most sown. Wheat is up in many places three
or four inches and other grains are coming up.
The weather has turned off nice and warm The
continued cool weather OF the spring has been
ture to remain in the ground. 1t has allowed
the farmers to push their horses harder than
ever. We couldn't have ordered better weather
if we had tried. Truly this is Gods own coun-
try and He seems to lie giving it special atten-
ton this spring.

Changes In This Law.

The estray law was somewhat amended by
the last legislature. The law now provides that
any person taking up an estray shall within ten
days thereafter advertise the same in the near
est paper in the county, and shall also file with
and shall also mail to the commissioner OF ag-
riculture and labor at Bismarck true copy OF
the advertisement by registered mail The re-
ceipt OF the registered mail. The receipt OF the
lication must then be filed with the county p au
ditor
The person taking up such estray shall then
notify justice OF the peace Of the county, whose
duty it shall be to chose one disinterested free
holder as appraiser, the party taking up the es-
tray shall choose second and the two thus
chosen shall choose third, and the three shall
fix the value OF the animal. If the board shall
appraise the animal as worthless, it shall be de-
stroyed by the party taking it up. The board
of appraisers shall act without any compensa-
ton.

In The Beginning.

In the beginning God created the heavens and
the earth; the editor, the subscriber and the
liberal advertiser-which was good. The next
day it showed and he created the man who does
not believe in advertising and another who does
not take the home paper, and then he rested.
About that time the devil got into the mould
ing room and created the man who takes the
paper for several years and fails to pay for it.
After he had completed this Job, having few
Jumps left, he created the excuse of a man who
settles his subscription by instructing the post
master to mark his paper refused.

Libels on Tobacco.

Several newspapers in the Northwest (includ-
ing this one) have been victimized by an imagi-
nary report said to have been rendered by the
pure food commission to the effect that English
Curve Cut and Lucky Strike contained forty
per cent tobacco, the rest being common brown
paper cut fine; that Bull Durham contained no
tobacco, being only chopped straw paper soak
ed III tobacco juice, and that Dukes Mixture
was only ten per cent tobacco.
According to both the Minnesota and North
Dakota pure food departments as we'll as those
in other states, no such analysis has been made
and no such report rendered.
Publication OF the absurd canard has already
resulted in wholesale retractions, as there are
grounds fo1 legal action against every newspa-
per that has unwittinglly given space to the Ii
bel and particularly the paper in which the
story started.
All evidence points to the conclusion that the
story was nothing but pipe dream which has
ended in q rude awakening for several score Of
publications that have been mislead into giving
it space.

It is queer thing that Waltham and other
watches can be bought more cheaply in Europe
than in eur own land. Not only that, but one
can buy them over there, bring them back to
this country, pay the duty on them and then
sell them at less than the regular retail price.
There are dealers who can do this and make a
fair profit.
This is made possible by the peculiar work
ings of an excessively high tariff and full
fiedged watch trust, and it is to be noted that
the tariff, as at present constituted, and the
trust work together quite naturally and sympa-
thetically.
1t is all right for the trusts for it brings them
extra large profits, but it is all wrong for the
public as it has to pay "too dear for it's whis-
tle." Yet there are people who want to "stand
pat'' on the tariff and who apparently think
that to lower the duty on one single article
would be worse than to break all of the Ten
Commandments.
For once trust finds that it's policy acts as a
boomerang. When it undertook to sell it's
watches so cheap in foreign markets and to
take advantage OF the high tariff to make the
home buyer pay exorbitantly for his watch, the
trust never supposed that anyone would be
sharp enough to do as stated above It is al
legged that the trust is now trying to persuade
it's European customers not to sell it's watches
to dealers who want to bring them back to sell
in this country. 1t is go like trust to prevent
if possible, people getting things at a reasona-
BILE price il it in any way interferes with the
largeness OF their profits.
