.b0RCHERS--JARv|S
CASE DROPPED
BY COUNCIL
Case Involving Seat as Alder
man From First Ward is
Now Settled.

The Borchers-Jarvis case, at a meet
ing of the city council held late Mon
day afternoon, was dismissed, the fol-
lowing resolution being adopted by
that body.
Whereas, at a special meeting of the
city council held at s o'clock p. m. ON
the 25th day of April, 1907, called for
the purpose of hearing, trying and de-
Gliding the election contest case of Au-
gust Borcher against James Jarvis
for the office of alderman of the First
ward in East Grand Forks, this coun-
G. \. E. Finlayson, on the ground that
the council had no ,jurisdiction to hear,
try, and decide said case, and where
as, it was subsequently made to APP
pear to said council that it had no
jurisdiction to hear, try and decide
said contest case and that said objec-
ton of said Jarvis should be sustained
Therefore, be it resolved, that this
council hereby reconsider its ruling on
said objection and that said objection
be and the same is hereby sustained
and that said council hereby dismiss.
said election contest case.
The resolution was adopted and the
city attorney authorized to stipulate
with the counsel for the defendant for
the dismissal of the action without
costs to either party.
The trouble began at the election
held in November, 1905. August
Borchers and James Jarvis, opposing
candidates for alderman from the
First ward, received, according to the
count of the canvassing board, votes
of twenty-nine each, making it tie.
On November 20, 1905, the council de-
termined the tie vote by lot. In a hat
was placed forty lots, all blank with
the exception of one, on which there
was written the word alderman"
The drawing then commenced, James
Jarvis bringing cut the deciding lot
on the thirty-ninth draw. =
Since that time, James Jarvis has
been occupying the position of alder
man from the First ward, excepting
from February 49, Dc to June s,
1906. At meeting ofIthe city council
held on April 9. 1906, the petition and
complaint Of, August Borchers was
filed with the council. The council
decided on April "a. as the day on
which to hear the case, but other DEF
velopments prevented this action, be-
ing taken. A writ from the supreme
court, secured by Attorney Massee &
Finlayson stood in the way of the
case being heard: The case has also
been to the supreme court before, and,
in fact, has been in the courts more or
less. since Immediately following the
election. The action of the council
yesterday means that there will be
no further litigation in connection
with the Office. y -. Ia

NO CHAnGE Will Be MADE
Assessors Throughout County Follow.
ing Precedent in Assessing the
Property.

The assessors of the city and coun-
ty have been assessing real estate
and personal property for several
weeks. and it will be some time be-
fore the boards of equalization meet.
There has been no change in the man
ner of assessment or the basis upon
which assessment of property is
made.
The precedent >estaglished some
years ago was to assess property at
about 40 per cent of its real valuation
though that policy is not followed
with any regularity, so that it is prob
able that the assessed valuation .is
more nearly rs per cent of the real
valuation.
The assessors were instructed to
follow the law in making their as
sessment and to also be guided by
assessed valuations fixed by the last
state board of equalization. The
whole matter lies with the state board
of equalization, which may make
radical increase in. the equalized valu-

doubtless by the aroma that floats
across the Ruby from the Minnesota
side. The Times printed an interest
ing news item Monday about the forth.
coming meeting of the RED River
Presbytery." Upon close inspection of
the article 1t appears that the ecclesi-
asacal convention referred to is con-
nected with the territory along that
Red river which flows through LOUISE
ana. It grieves us to note that our
learned brother at the Forks is as wild
on religion as he is on politics His
weakness in the latter respect may
land him in jamestown, which would
be deplorable, but If he does not keep
cases better on the former he may
wind up in a still warmer place

The Modern Heroine.

Who is the darling of the age In palaces and novels, In real life, and on the stage,
 And also in our novels? The fair one with a lurid past" Whose life's a spicy" story, At whom poor Virtue stands aghast-- She wears the crown of glory. If she has ruined several lives.
 Inflaming love-sick boys on To fight with pistols or with knives, Or mixed her husband poison; If she for love" is steeped in crime, Frail fascinating floorer!- Mankind consider her sublime,
 And fall down and adore her. The maid and wife of homely life
 Inspire no homage frantic, With virtuous hearts they play theil parts,
 But-Virtues not romantic! So she who's loved two men--er three And cut surprising capers, Shall wear halo; and shall see
 Her portrait in the papers! Our heroine! Her charm and grace Let's hall with souls ecstatic, For Virtues very commonplace,
 And not at all dramatic, But Frailty's winning tale shall touch The hearts of all and any; For unto hers forgiven much
 "Who much has loved"--and many!

AboNjnarjs "The Queen of Table W/atens" 

Reports from Prince Albert tell of a terrific snow storm of week ago. The flakes fell necessarily for six days, cov- ering the ground to depth of nine feet in the open, with drifts 54 feet deep. Fortunately the snow was soft and the settlers had no trouble In digging tunnels from house to house. It is probable that the snow will not disap- pear until spring, so the farmers are making arrangements to live under it for the winter. A few who did not have their fall blowing done have propped up the snow in the fields and are car rying on their work as usual. Their only complaint is the dimness of the light. Since the mantel of snow is so thick no fires are required in the houses and in order to prevent being overcome by the heat very little cooking is being done. when it Is absolutely necessary to come to the surface ladders are used and the shafts are carefully covered by trap doors to prevent a draft reaching those living below"
 This story caused a sensation here, and a meeting of various organizations has promised to discuss the defamation of Canada. The snowstorm story first appeared in the comic sections of a number of American newspapers, and then was copied into other papers, which did not have the column marked jokes.

 Several weeks ago a Winnipeg news paper correspondent sent a story to a press bureau in the United States tell ing of ravenous wolves which are sup posed to be infesting Winnipeg. The story ended with a statement that the wolves had become so numerous and dangerous that many of the towns in northwestern Canada had decided to place armed guards on the outskirts of the city to keep them off. In due course the story was sent back here, and reproduced with various strong comments. A few days later the fol- lowing wonderful dispatch was printed in the United States:

It is a decidedly interesting sign of the times that building operations in New England are showing a large in- crease. According to the F. W.

A consider able amount of mill and factory con- struction is also going on, either in the erecting of buildings to accommo- date new enterprises or in additions to present establishments.
 All of which indicates that New England isn't decaylng as much as some of the walters have been saying she is. Even her abandoned farms'' are in demand, and she Is becoming more and more popular with the sum mer boarders.

FoR BErrER CoAST pEFENsE.

There are those, we believe, in New Haven who are not sure that our coast is adequately defended by the drowning guns of Lighthouse Point. Such folks will be encouraged by the knowledge that the War department has com plete6 plans for a new type of four teen-inch-caliber gun, which will be added to the existing coast-defense system. Work on the new weapons will be commenced at the Watervliet Arsenal at an early date. It has not yet been determined, however, whether the guns will be of the ordinary built up forged steel type or of the more modern wire-wound construction. This new gun, while fully two inches larger in caliber than the regulation coast defense gun of the first grade, will be smaller in every other measurement and of lighter weight. The intention is to construct @ weapon with range and striking force equal to the present standard twelve-inch gun, but which will greatly exceed the limited life of that gun.
 Perhaps we can get some of the new guns added to our armament. Gentle men are crying peace, peace, but there is no peace yet, and it may not be long before some hostile fleet will come as near New Haven as the Spanish fleet did and scare us accordingly.
