Fargo May Get It.


Fargo-There4 a chance for Fargo
to secure the famous Wergeland
monument. The entire affair has taken
a new phase. Instead Of the Morse
men of this country raising the money
for the monument, the people of Nor
way have presented it to their coun-
trymen in the United States and sent
it, freight prepaid. The monument is
to be delivered to this country in the
big auditorium in Minneapolis May II,
by Bishop Bang, primate Of the Nor
wegian church, who was delegated for
that purpose. The movement was
started some months ago by DR.. H. o.
Fjelde and others to have the monu-
ment secured and located in the state
park at Abercrombie. An association
was formed to raise funds for this
purpose. When the residents of Nor
way heard of the patriotic efforts of
their countrymen over here, they
planned a little surprise and donated
the monument. They imposed one
condition, however, that 1t should be
located as publicly as possible, so.
that it could be seen by former Nor
Wegians.

Racing Circuit.

Grand Forks-Followers Of the race.
horse In the northwest will find plenty
of sport this season. This will be
particularly true in North Dakota, and
southern Manitoba will not be far be-
hind. Three racing circuits will be
represented in the fickertail state, the
northwestern North Dakota circuit,
the central circuit Of North Dakota
and the International. The sport will
open June 1 and continue until Aug
ust. Two big meets will be held in
Manitoba, at Brandon and Winnipeg,
and other individual meets are sched-
uled thruout the province. Many
horses are now In North Dakota for
training. Quarters have been estab-
lished on the fine track Of the North
Dakota State Fair Association at
Grand Forks, where a fast bunch Of
speeders are getting their early work,
and in a short time more will be doing
the same. Good sport has been the
rule in the past In North Dakota, but
1t will be better than aver this season.

To Lisbon In SO hours.

Lisbon-Louis Lindstrom holds tho
road record for last week, with COM
petitors to hear from. On Monday
last MI Lindstrom drove a Ford run
about from Minneapolis to Lisbon, a
distance of 800 miles, in just a day
and a half. Mr.. Lindstrom left Mime
apolis on the morning of Monday and
his record includes only the time ac-
tually spent on the road. His car
was a new one which he purchased
from the Northwestern Automobile
Company. According to Mr.. Lind
strom, the roads In northern Mime
sofa and North Dakota are in excel
lent shape for touring, and his record
seems to bear out this statement.

FtREBUG IN HOTEL.
Night Clerks Prompt Action Saves
Hostelry and Town..

Flaxton, N. D., May 9.-About 70
O'Clock at night some person saturat-
ed the walls and floor OF the kitchen
at the Stevens house with kerosene
and set fire to the oil. The night
clerk discovered the blaze and extin-
guished it before much damage was
done to the building. The rooms in
the upper part of the building were all
occupied and one woman was made
unconscious by the fumes from the
burning oil. A high wind prevailed
at the time and but for the prompt
action of the clerk the whole business
portion of Flaxton might have been
burned. No arrests have been made,
although two persons are under sur
v%eillance. A reward of $3.50 is offered
for evidence leading to conviction.

Grand Forks-Judge G. F. Temple
ton, of the district court, declared the
law giving a reward Of $50 for infor'
nation leading to the arrest and con.
viction of ~violators Of the prohibition
law to be in effect unconstitutional,
and issued a peremptory writ citing
State Auditor Holmes to honor two
warrants In the amount of 500, drawn
by Don Mcdonald. treasurer of Grand
Forks county. The state auditor had
declined to pay the warrants on the
ground that when the temperance
commission law was passed it re-
pealed the "spotter" reward law, and
that when the temperance commits
sion law was declared unconstitu.
tional the "spotter" law did not again
go into effect.

property that was not protected went
up in smoke. The fire overran some
valuable meadow and grazing land in
its course and total damage done will
II up In thousands Of dollars.

which covers an area five miles long
and a mile wide. Many families were

Watertown, 8. D., May 1.-THE
center of interest in Watertown for
the next four days will be the South
Dakota Central railroad building crew,
now within half a mile of town, but
with the Big Sioux river between
them and their destination.
The race of the railroad gang is

is completed and trains running be-
tween here and Sioux Falls the COM
pany will get a $15, 600 bonus from the
business men of Watertown, but if
the roads not completed by then the
money likely will not be collected.

SURVEYORS WORK
ING NEAR BRUNEAU
Rumors Of New Railroad for the
Country Near Crandview and
Bruneau Are Revived.

The reports sent out some
time ago to the effect that there
were good prospects for a rail
road for the country along the
Snake river in the vicinity of
Brunea and Grandview are re-
ceiving even greater credence
now than then, on account OF
the presence of several parties
of surveyors in the vicinity of
these towns. What road they
represent cannot be definitely
determined, as the surveyors
are strictly non-committal, but
it is generally believed that the
work is for the purpose of de-
termining a feasible route for
the Oregon Short Line, which
is anxious to secure a route that
will enable it to haul freight
through this section without
encountering the grades at Med
bury and King Hill. 1t is also
pointed out that the company
cannot be unmindful of the very
present prospects for the open
ing of the big tract south of the
river between Glenns Ferry and
Bruneau, and the wise ones say
that the line will undoubtedly
be run SO as to tap all of that
new field.

PIONEER CROSSES DIVIDE.

At the ripe old age of eighty
nine years, lacking but a few
days, Mrs. Eliza Jane Neeley
NordXke passed from this life
to the Great Beyond on Thurs
nay, April l6, 1908, and on
Easter day, with appropriate
ceremonies, her remains were
laid to rest in the Mountain
Home cemetery. Mrs. Nor
dyke was born April 25, 1919,
in Lafayette county, Indiana,
and there spent the first years
of her life. In 1853, in COM
pany with her first husband,
she crossed the plains to Cali
fornia, and there got her first
taste of pioneer life. In 1863
she came to Boise, the first
white woman to live in that
place. During the thrilling
days of the Indian war in 1878
and '79 she was a resident of
Silver City, and has lived at va
rious other places in the south
ern part Of the state since that
time. In 1854 she was mar
ried to her second husband, Ben
jamin J. Nordyke, who now sur
wives her. Together they came
to Mountain Home four years
agoto spend the declining years
Of their eventful life.
Funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. c. E. Mason at
the Congregational church and
a large number of old friends
and neighbors were present to
pay their respects to the de-
parted one and to condole with
the bereaved husband.

THE W. L. THOMPSON =, s,a..
FURNITURE CO., LTD

Under the above style is now
being conducted the large and
extensiveH House Furnishing bus
mess formerly owned by Walter
L. Thompson, Individually.
Starting about four years ago
at his present location with a
small and rather low grade
stock, Mr.. Thompson has built
up by energy and thrift and
fair dealing with all customers,
a business that rivals any of it's
kind in southern idaho. The
commodious rooms in which he
started business have gradually
become filled with an ever in
creasing variety and quantity
of goods for home makers, I'M
til at the present time it is alb
solutely impossible to suitably
display the stock on hand.
As his business grew Mr..
Thompson added to his stock OF
secondhand goods and cheap
and medium priced furniture a
strictly first-class stock of all
lines of house furnishings, and
at the present time he can sell
goods that are in ever respect
as good as those that can be
obtained in cities twice or three
times the size of this. For the
purpose of further adding to
this business, the new corpora
ton has been formedand George
A. Herder, a man of consider
able practical business expert
ence in Minnesota has taken an
active interest in the new con-
cern and will devote his time
to it.
AS soon as a suitable location
can be found, the new company
will move into larger and more
convenient ntquarters than it now
has, and will then be better
able than ever to accommodate
it's long list of customers.

GREAT WESTERN
TAKES WATER
Practically Admits Truth Of Charges
Of Charges Made in the Last
Issue Of The Republican.

The following article, which
appeared in the Capital News
of Friday, while not a direct
answer to the charges of fraud
and deception made in this pa
per last week, is, in effect, an
admission of the truth of those
charges.
"The committee appointed
jointly by the Sunnyside and
Mountain Home water users un-
der the Mountain Home Beet
Sugar company consists OF
Messrs. AXE, Caldwell and Hall
of Mountain Home and w. G.
Dickey and Wilbur Smith of
Sunnyside. These gentlemen
have accepted 100000 of the
securities held by ]. H. Garrett
ofMountain Home, Idaho, which
are to be used on the develop
ment of canals and fumes on
Lime creek.
Competent engineers OF the
state are to be secured by the
committee and accompany it's
members to Lime creek for the
purpose of thoroughly inspect
ing this body of Mountain wat
er with it's flood waters. The
engineers will be requested to
propose the most feasible route
and manner of doing the work.
"From now until May l5 the
management Of the Sunnyside
tract are making an unusual
offer to those wishing to pur-
chase land. The water right is
offered for the low price OF SIT
per acre which cuts off the
agents commission and allows
the investor to secure the water
at about the cost of installing
it. At this price the land will
be disposed of in quantities not
less thon 20 acres and not more
than 40 acress. Heretofore
the price has been $25 cash and
$50 on time.
ut is the purpose of the man.
agement to raise as much mon
ey as possible now so as to rush
the work on the tract and de-
liver the water by May 10. The
investors who get in on the
bottom prices now will realize
a good profit when the prices
go up. When the water is de-
livered all land on the tract will
experience a notable jump in
values.
Exception is taken to the
statement that J. Fl. Garrett of
the Mountain Home Beet Sugar
company has resigned. Al
though the recent election of
officers placed him at the head
of the executive committee and
he left the position of treasur-
er, he is still actively engaged
in promoting the company's in
terests and will continue to do
so until the project is completed
as manager of construction
work"
