From the most recently published
out giving by the Honorable Samuel
Gompers Ii is learned that organized
labor has not up TO the present time
utilized its full political power, but
that the time has now come when it
must actively and aggressively assert
every power that it possesses until
its rights are recognized" This con-
yietion and decision were no doubt,
reached by President Gompers. and
his great army of federationists the
very day that brought that recent de-
cison by the United States supreme
court TO the effect that organized
labor can be combination in restraint
of trade" just as organized industry

statute laws except them from GER

STANDARD OIL
CASE APPEALED
GOVERNMENT ASKS The UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT FOR
WRIT OF CERn0RARI.

Washington, Nov. 2STAttorney
General Bonaparte filed today a
petition for a writ of certiorari in
the supreme court of the United
States asking that court to issue q
writ of certiorari to the circuit
court of appeals for seventh cir
cult to review the Judgment of that
court in reversing the rulings OF
Judge Landis in the case in which
the Standard Oil company was
fined 500, 200, 900 on the charge OF
violating the antitrust law. The
attorney general takes the posi-
tion that the court of appeals was
without jurisdiction when it re-
versed Judge Landis' decision.

Will A. Campbell, representing
the Missouri River Navigation
Congress, arrived in the city last
Friday for the purpose of getting
Williston citizens interested in the
organization of Williston branch
of this congress. A meeting was
called Friday afternoon in the
court house and number of busi-
ness men attended.
Mr.. Campbell stated that he had
been making trip throughout
the states along the Missouri river
for the purpose of getting branch
organizations started. These
branch organizations, when the
time comes, will call upon the SEN
ators and congressman from their
respective states to vote for legis-
lation favorable to River improve
ment. Mr.. Campbell, to show
that the matter of river improve
ment was occupying the attention
of the leading men of the country
read several statements made to
him by President Elect Taft.
Judge Taft said:
Such associations as this (tbe
Missouri River Navigation con-
gress) are of the utmost benefit be-
cause they subject all legislative
action in this matter to the closest
scrutiny and will not permit the
temporary fears and short-sighted
political considerations of the
members of either legislative body
to interfere with the rapid con-
struction of these needed improve
ments by methods of real economy.
My own Judgment is that
every great Improvement like that
of the lakes to the gulf, like that
of the Ohio river, like that of the
Missouri river, like the Atlantic
Seaboard inland waterways should
be treated by itself as one great
enterprise just as we have treated

HEARING ON
PAPER TARIFF
COMMITTEE IS NOW CONSIDERING one
OF the MOST IMPORTANT
SCHEDULES.

Washington, Nov. 21.-The
tariff schedule on pulp, papers and
books was taken up today by the
ways and means committee of the
house and it probably will be nee
essary for the committee to hold
another night session. Thirty six
witnesses have signified their in
tention of presenting the commit
tee with information bearing on
this schedule. The most interest
ing feature of the hearing will be
the consideration of the tariff on
pulp and print paper, as special
committee of congress conducted
an investigation of the pulp and
print paper industry. The report
of the findings of the committee
has not yet been made. Other
articles coming under this sched-
ule, regarding which testimony
will be offered, are parchment,
surface coated and photo papers,
decalcomadia and photographic
prints, wall paper, postal books
and tissue paper.

Commissioners in Session.

The board of county commits
sioners completed the work of
canvassing the vote few days
ago. Their count was practically "
the same as that published in this
paper a couple of weeks ago.
There was a slight change in the
vote in one or two cases but moth
ing to speak of. During this ses-
sion the commissioners voted to
bond the county for $4,000 and
this money will be used to pay up
outstanding warrants. This will
mot only cut down the rate of in
:terest which the county has been
paying on the warrants but will
place it in = position where it can
pay cash for warrants.

Farmers Institutes.

Last year 80 Institutes were
held in the state of North Dakota.
In 233 sessions there was a total
attendance of 38, 900 people. This
large attendance can be attributed
to several causes. Roads as a rule
were excellent. Stormy days
were very few. Bad roads and
weather always reduce the attend
ance at the meetings. The bust
ness men of the town took unusual
interest in the institutes. They
helped in the advertising. Very
often free dinners were served to
farmers who attended the meet
ings.
The institute season will open
about one month earlier than last
year. We have now on file about
seventy applications. In order to
hold meetings in all sections of
the state every year it will be nec+
essary to make the institute season
as long as possible. Prof. Thos.
Shaw of Minnesota has already
been engaged for this winters
circuit as special lecturer. We
consider ourselves very fortunate
in securing his services as other
states were anxious to have his
name on their list of institute
speakers.
Institutes will be conducted on
the same general plan as in pre-
vious years New topics for dis
cussion will be introduced. A new
edition of the institute annual is
in process of preparation. Arti-
cles are being prepared especially
for this edition which will be
ready for distribution by Dec lst.
The schedule for the winter cir
cult will soon be made out. All
towns desiring an institute the
coming winter should send in
their applications as soon as pos
ysible. Commercial and farmers
clubs, private individuals or or
CARNATIONS may send in requests
for meetings and the same will be
considered by the board. It is
desirable to hold meetings in To-
calities where none were held last
year, so as to distribute the work
over the state as much as possible.

RUSHING WORK
AT The RIVER
FORCE OF ABOUT FIFTY TEAMS AND
FIFTY MEN NOW ON J0B--BANK
SOON Be GRADED DOWN.

The work on the grading of the
river bank is progressing rapidly
under the able management of
Mr.. Lilly. He now has force
of about fifty men and as many
teams at work and it will not be
long before the bank is graded
down to the necessary slope for
the riprapping. Williston people
are greatly interested in the work
and a great many of them take a
trip down to the river bank every
day to see how things are pro-
crossing.

Special Ward County Term.

Minot, Nov. 23.-The special
November term of the district
court opened at 10 o'clock this
morning, when the calendar was
called by Judge Goss. There are
344 civil cases up for trial and 81
criminal cases.
Among the criminal cases is that
of the State vs.. Chief of Police
Hagen and William Bskeman,
who are charged with assaulting a
railroad man.
The case originally came before
Judge Davis, and the attorneys
for the defendants filed an afida-
Wit of prejudice to transfer it to
Judge Goss' court.
There are several blind pig
cases up.

time FOR SPECIAL
ELECTION LAPSES
TANCLE IN The TWENTY-SN1h LEGS
LATIVE DISTRICT GROWS MORE
COMPLEX.

Bismarck, N. C.. Nov. 2O.-The
complication in the twenty sixth
legislative district owing to the tie
between Storey of Kidder and
Herolz of Emmons, for second
member of the house grows more
complex as time passes. Under
the law the time for a special cleo
ton has passed owing to the fact
that the sheriff of the two counties
could not agree as to which one
should call the election. Colonel
Tuttle of Steele wants to get in
the race again although twice
beaten. There is talk of Herolz
withdrawing entirely owing to
the fact that his county, Emmons,
now has the senator and one re-
preventative and he thinks Tuttle
has no show down coming in this
tie matter. A leading attorney
here is of the opinion that mas
much as the law provides for the
election of two representatives,
and as only d. r. Streeter was
elected, that the whole election is
void. Everybody is at sea and il
may be left for the house to
straighten out this most peculiar
legislative tangle in the history oi
the state. ...

the fitful and partison considera-

sire to reduce the appearance of

improvement enterprises and to
drag them along from year to

United States, in recognition of
this custom, has designated Thurs

Thanksgiving and prayer through
out the nation.
1t is especially fitting that this
young state should join in this
festival of Thanksgiving. Our
people have prospered wonderful

has given generously of it's store.
The opportunities for industry
and thrift are unsurpassed. There
is present just appreciation Of
the great responsibilities of citi-
zenship, a high tone of public
morality and probity, and a
wholesome respect for the majesty
of the law; therefore,
In accordance with the procla-
nation of the president, and in
keeping with the spirit of the sea-
son,
I, John Burke, governor of the
state of North Dakota, Go hereby

Almighty God for the many
blessings with which we have beer
so graciously favored.
Let it be a season of kindness
and good works; of benevolence
and broad charity; a season o1

A. Steers, electrical engineer for

vice in North Dakota, Geo. +.
Strathon, project engineer in
charge of the surveys on the
Washburn and Oliver projects,
and Carl D. Smith, geologist, were
in the city today in consultation
with State Engineer Atkinson,
concerning the construction of
several North Dakota projects
now under way.
Working surveys on the Wash
burn and Oliver projects which
have been under way since Aug.
l, are now practically complete
and the detail construction plans
will be worked out in this city
this winter. Mr.. Smith, the geol-
ogist, has been making examina-
tions for coal along the Missouri
river in North Dakota to deter-s
mine the most available deposits
for use on the various projects
under survey and on other pro-
jects on which preliminary sur
veys have been made by the state
engineer.
Mr.. Smith left for Washington,
ID. c., on No. 2 this morning
where he will make up his report
which will show in detail the loca-
tion and thickness of different
seams discovered.

The Bowman Project.
Working surveys have also been
made on the Bowman project lo-
Gated on the Grand river in Bow
man county by w. A. Stebbins.
This project is declared to be one
of the best projects in North Da-
kota and the settlers there are
very anxious for the work to go
forward. There is apparently
nothing in the way of it's construc-
tion. Mr.. Atkinson states that up
to the present date there has been
credited to the reclamation fund
from the sale of public lands in
North Dakota, the sum of So, ,375,-
| 900. OF this amount only 81, 375-.
600 has been expended on North
Dakota projects so that there is
now $7,OO0,0OO in this fund to
our credit to be expended on
North Dakota projects if the re-
clamation service is shown that
the people desire the construction
of the works.
Now that the practicability Of
irrigation by pumping from the
Missouri river has been clearly
demonstrated it is expected that
the construction of all the Mis-
Isouri river projects will go for
ward as fast as they can be reached.

Moore when killed was in his front

The officers opened fire and he fell a
