JAMES ELTON, DEPUTY COL.
LEcToR OF INTERNAL REvE- Z
NUE., RESIGNS, POSITION

Grand Forks Press: James Elton,
for the past three years employed by
the government as deputy collector OF
internal revenues of the district OF
North and South Dakota, and with
Headquarters in Grand Forks, has re-
signed his position and will give up
his duties as soon as the government
officials have named his successor, an
examination for which will be held in
this and other cities on February -.
The resignation of Mr.. Elton comes
as surprise to his many friends. He.
however, had been contemplating the
step for some time, the work having
proven too strenuous to his liking. The
duties of the office necessitate con
slant travelling with only average
remuneration for services rendered
The examination for the selection Of
Mr.. Elton's successor win be held In
the following cities: Grand Forks,
Bismarck. Fargo, Minot, Aberdeen, S.
D.; Deadwood, s. D.; Sioux Falls, s.
D., and WATERFOWL, S. D. The posi-
ton provides salary of $1,000 a year,
with 5000 travelling expenses.

Msasse OF NE ASSOCIATED PEAS
4 bin has been introduced proposing

a bill has been introduced proposing
a constitutional amendment cutting
down the interest charge on deferred
payments OF school and public lands
from six per cent to five per cent
The bill also restricts the advertising
to some local paper in the vicinity of
the land. These public lands were
given to the state to endow. sur school
fund and our public institutions. They
are sold on long time for that purpose.
and to reduce hte interest is to curtail
the endowment funds. Instead OF
restricting the advertising a measure
should be passed that would provide
not only for the advertising of these
lands in the state but in half dozen
newspapers outside of the state. II
land appraised at $40 or s12 an acre
can be sold for half as much more IL
is greatly to the benefit of the school
and institution funds The greatest
enemy to the school funds of the state
is the tendency in each county where
public lands are to be sold to form
local combinations and agreements t.
keep the price down. Greater pub
licity should be provided to check thi:
evil.

DROVE ON THE TRACK
DIckEY COUNTY FARMER USED
500 LINE FOR A HIGHWAY 4
AND LOST
HIS TEAM AND HAD A CLOSE
q CALL FOR HIS LIFE WHEN
STRUCK BY TRAIN

When 500 train No. "a pulled into
Fullerton, Dickey county, yesterday
the engineer found the dashboard of
a wagon and a sack of flour on the
pilot of his engine He at once wired
the circumstances to Supt. Derrick of
this city and suggested that an in
yestigation be made as whether or not
an accident had occurred.
Shortly afterward Mr.. Derrick re
ceived word from Fullerton that a
farmer had been driving on the track
a mile and half from that town and
had been oyertaken by the passenger
train in a cut Owing to the blizzard
which was blowing at the time it was
impossible for the engineer to see
ahead of his engine and also for the
man to see the train coming up be-
hind him. AT the last moment the
farmer jumped from the RIG out of
harms way, but the engine made
klndhng wood OF his rig, which was
loaded with sacked flour, and killed
the team
This is only one of many accidents
which have occurred from driving on
the track in various parts of the state
and this man was exceedingly fortu-
nate in not losing his life.

THE SKIN OF THE TEETH.

When We Say We Escape BY it We
Are Misquotina Job.
When we declare with gusto that we
have ESCAPED by the skin Of our
teeth" we are guilty SO the authori-
hes declareot using one OF those
twisted sayings which haye entirely
suppianted the original versions.
Precious few persons know that It
was poor old Job who began all this
talk about the skin of the teeth. In
the Book Of Job. nineteenth chapter,
twentieth verse, it is recorded that he
exclaimed: M
7 escaped with the skin Of my
teeth..
One hears people saying nowadays:
i got out with nothing but the
clothes on my back!"
This sounds like positive opulence
compared with Jobs sole remaining
belonging, the skin of his teeth, with
which. not by which, he escaped.

Is Elmer Garfield, alias Frank Mar

answer through the help of Connors

1t appears that the police oil
Spokane rounded up vag the other
day who gave his name as Frank
Martin. On his person were switch
keys and a number of other things
which he should not have been posses

lowed some remarks he had made
about knowing all about the famous
Valley City murder. and subsequently
he said he had been in Fargo at the
time of the murder and at Valley City
afterward, where he had been arrested
on another charge and let go.
The Spokane authorities got into
communication with the Barnes coun.
ty officers and sent them picture OF
the suspect. This picture has been
shown to many Sanborn people who
saw sBlaekie" several times and
positively identified BY them as being
a portrait of the murderer.

Owing to the fact that in the DARK
ness of the night no one saw th
shooting OF Officer Personius by th
side OF the freight train which ha
taken Connors and tBlackie'' fror
