The Farmers Union Of Barber county
met in regular session Saturday, Novem-
Der 9TH. They had heretofore met in
the court house to discuss business meas
ures but when they arrived at this point
Saturday they were informed by D. F.
Painter, the janitor, that the commissioners
had authorized him to close and lock
the doors against them as they were a
secret order.
We wish to state right here that there
is no more secrecy about the Farmers
Union in their business actions than there
is with the merchants, coal dealers and
lawyers.
Furthermore they are composed large
ly of the best citizens Of this county who
have contributed thousands Of dollars an
nuaIy for the erection Of the court house
to carry on business.
All who are in sympathy with the ric h
and powerful; all who wish to desert the
interests Of honest labor and harbor the
trusts and money sharks; all of these,
mind you, wish to retard and destroy the
F farmers Union.
Now, ever faithful and conservative
commissioners Of this county, we gladly
submit to your solemn prerogaive. but
we have come to stay awhile at least.
(Signe0 Farmers Union.

TO ESTABLISH A

PROF. CLAUDE SCHOER RE-
TURNS FROM MEETING
AT RENO.

Claude Schoer, principal of the
high school, has returned from Reno,
where he went to attend meeting
of the high school principals of the
State. The purpose of the conven-
ton was to establish a uniform
course of study in the schools of the
State, there being no such thing as
uniformity at the present time.
A committee comprising five uni
versity professors, five high school
principals. and the five deputy super
intendents of schools, was appointed
to arrange the course, and to report
at the Academic Field Day meeting
at Reno in May. The new system
will go into effect for the fall term

name of Principal Schoer during his
absence, to the effect that Cupid hac
fouled him in this greatest of al
years, leap year, and had enmeshet
him in his snares. 1t was with ap
parent regret that Mr. Schoer derieG
the soft impeachment, and said tina
he would endeavor to have better
luck the next time.

NOTABLE DECISION
BY JUDGE O'BRIEN
FOREIGN. CORPORATIONS MUST
COMPLY WITH LAWS OF
THE STATE.

Because the Liberty and Justice
Mining Company and the Granny
Gold Mining Company of Manhattan
are foreign corporations doing bust
ness under the laws of South Da-
kota, they have been non-suited in
their adverse suit. against the Man
haitian Consolidated Company. The
decision in the case has been handed
down by Judge O'Brien, and if the
ruling stands the foreign corpora
tons doing business in this country
lad better change their charters and
get in under the laws of Nevada
The contention was made that by
the charter of the plaintiff compan-
les, they had no authority to do bust
ness in the State of their birth, and
that, therefore, they should not be
allowed to do business in any other
State. 1t was a novel point, and the
court sustained it. Another point
raised was that of reciprocity Ac-
cording to the laws of South Dakota,
certain requirements must be per-
formed before a corporation with d
foreign charter can do business
there. The same applied to a for
eign corporation attempting to do
business in this State. Nevada has a
law. whereby, when the laws of a
/ State impose more than the ordin-
airy obligations or requirements upon
a corporation from another State,
the same requirements shall be en-
4 forced against corporations under
| charter from that State. South Da-
4 kota requires that there shall be
many steps taken before corpora
ton of Nevada can sustain a suit
against a corporation of that State
1t was argued that this rule should
apply to the Liberty and Justice, and
the Granny, and it was so decided
The suit against the Manhattan
Consolidated was for the possession
of the Silver Pick claim, which 1t was
claimed wa snot on the company
ground. The point as to whether II
Is or not, was not reached, the suit
being shut off by technicalities.
