Farmers, Not Oil Magnates.

1t seems the people who
passed through Bottineau last
week in a.special Pullman car,
enroute to Westhope, were
Illinois land owners and farm
hands who expect to settle in
the Mouse River Loop country,
and not oil magnates' as
Conductor Wynn told the re-
porters of the local newspapers.
Tie Westhope Standard says:
"Messrs. Epson Gould and
Sam Leach and their families,
and number of men who
are looking for work on the
farm, arrived in the city or,
Wednesday evening from Bone
Gap, Illinois, in special car,
and are being piloted about by
Chas. Porter. Messrs. Gould
and Leach will farm in the
Loop from now on, and as
they are very desirable citizens
they will find a warm welcome
here. The Mouse River Loop
is coming to the front as an
ideal farming country and
many more substantial settlers
are expected before spring work
commences.

ANNUAL ELECTIONS.
Will be Held in Organized Townships
Tuesday, March II.

The annual elections in the
organized townships will be
held next Tuesday, March II.
The law with regard to the el-
ection of township officers was
slightly amended at the 1905
session of the legislature and
now reads as follows: There
shall be elected at the annual
township meeting in each
township one supervisor for a
term of three years, one town
ship clerk, one treasurer, one
assessor, one overseer of high
ways for each road district,
each for a term of one year, and
two justices of the peace and
two constables, each for a term
of two years" The principal
change is in the election of
township supervisors, one be-
ing elected each year for three
years, the board to elect its
chairman.

Drilling on Wynn's Farm.

Westhope Standard: Con-
ductor r. G.. Wynn of the
Antler flyer informs the Stand
ard that he will begin drilling
for lead and iron on his farm
near Dunseith next week. He
has interested sufficient capital
to make the preliminary de-
velopment, and if anything in
the mineral line in paying
quantities is found he will then
form company and issue
stock. and open up a mine.
He feels confident that there
is something of great value on
his farm, and. judging from the
report of the expert who went
over the ground he has every
reason to feel elated.
Several citizens of this city
are interested in the project
and if the proposition pans out
are in to get a good deal.
Mr.. Wynn has many friends
along the branch who will be
more than pleased to hear that
he has struck it rich in his
undertaking.

Good roads mean economies
in time, in number of horses

besides mean an increase in
land values far beyond their
cost. Mr.. Clark discussed fully
the engineering side of road
building, showing clearly that
our state has gravel beds in
some parts and burnt clay in
the Ignite parts, amply suf-
ticient for road surfacing. How

The object of the mission is
to offer extraordinary oppor-

God and for worthily receiving
the sacrament. Every even

be placed in the rear of the
church, and all questions will
be explained each evening by
one of the Fathers. You may
be sure that not a word will be
said by these reverened gentle
men to offend the religious
feeling of those who attend the
mission; and all will be treated
most charitably and cordially.
and when returning home you
will be glad of the occasion Of

believe and perhaps it will be

LIGHTS PUT OUT IN PARIS
Crimes Increase I'm Lower Quarter in
Proportion to Degree Of
Darkness.

PARIS, Sept. &.-(Special. )-Parisians.
and especially those who are compelled by
circumstances to be out after midnight are
agitating for a better illumination of the
public streets. Unlike London, Paris does
not retire to bed at midnight and the
thousands Of pleasure ecker and even
business people who frequent its streets
far into the small hours OF the morning
have protested against the order OF the
municipal authorities -extinguishinR, at the
stroke Of IL. 14.SW Of the 5s,4S1 lamps which
light the streets of the city. Even the
Grande b~oulevards. crowded as they are
with life long after midnight are notori-
ously dark and gloomy after the closing OF
the shops and cafes, the brilliantly lighted
windows of which reflect their glow into
the street in the earlier hours of the
evening.
In some of the other large streets condi-
lions Of light are even worse than on the
Grande boulevards. The project of police
some time ago reported that at 3 O'Clock
In the morning On the Boulevard st.. Ger
main four out OF every five lamplights
were e~xtinguished. In many streets in the
residential quarter which depend upon gas
for illumination the lamps are not lit until
several hours after darkness has set in
This Is due to the fact that some of the
lamplighters have such long posts that
they are unable to make the round in less
than four hours. The lighting Of gas
lamps is regulated by a decree issued
forty-five years ago and the enormous
growth of certain districts since that time
has seen no alteration in the arrangements
to cope with changed conditions.
The anxiety of the native Partisan oveI
the Illumination of his streets is undoubt
eddy due to the alarming increase OF
Apache crimes. II Is in the poorly lighted
districts that the vicious criminals hole
sway. The project of police goes so far al
to trace a direct ratio between crimes OF
the hold-up order and the degree Of illumi
nation OF the streets.
The fault seems to be with the Munich
pal Council Of the Seine who refuse to vott
enough money to permit the project t
keep the lights going all night long. Or
the other hand, friends OF the councillor,
urge that the fault really lies with the ad
ministrators who waste the money alloteC
to lighting. Some years ago, new. up-to
date burners were installed in a great mum
Der Of the lamp-posts with the result tina
a saving of SIS, 900 was effected in the tight
ing bill of the city. II is estimated that 1
these economical burners were introduce,
all over the city enough money would b
saved to satisfactorily light THE streets o
Paris from sunset to sunrise.
