Big LUMBER PLANT
NOW In OPERATION
MAMMOTH SAW MILL RECENTLY
ERECTED BY THE INTER-
STATE LUMBER COMPANY
STARTED THURSDAY.
Plant is One of the Largest i'm the
South, Representing an Invest
ment of Nearly One Mill
lion Dollars.

The mammoth plant OF the Inter
state Lumber Company in the Lake
Park neighborhood is completed. and
operations We're begun last Thurs
day, when the first lumber to be
sawed by the new concern was turn
ed out. The run Thursday was made
largely for the purpose of testing the
machinery. and with the exception of
the water supply everything was
found to be all right. The water
from which the steam to drive the
machinery is generated is furnished
by two artesian wells, and il was
found that tie discharge OF sand was
so great as to clog the pipes of the
boiler, and interfere with the run
ming of the machinery. This trouble
can easily be remedied. and after a
few days have been devoted TO cor
recting this and other minor defects
it is believed that everything will
work smoothly and evenly and that
the plant Will be enabled 10 turn out
lumber at a rapid rate.
The plant of the Interstate Lum-
ber Company is one of the largest of
its kind in the South, and represents
an investment Of nearly a million dol
lars In addition TO the mill which
has a daily capacity Of 125,000 feet
of lumber, the company owns hun
dreds of acres OF timber land in this
and adjoining counties, a great deal

Mr. j. N. Curtis. the president of
the company, Who lives Ia Pennsyl-
vania, came to Columbus to be pres
ent at the opening Of the mill, and
seemed thoroughly satisfied both
with the plant and with the prospects
for trade. He said that while the

CAVALIER COUNTY DEMOCRATS

With strong state. county and legis-
lative tickets Cavalier county democrats
are in better shape this year than in
many former campaigns. There is no
weak spot. The three tickets are com
posed of men whom the voters can CON
scientiously support for Office There is
no internal scrap among the democrats
of this county. They are united and
harmonious-an are in q position to pile
u huge majority fnr every nominee
from the Bryan presidential electors
down to the constables. For many years
Cavalier has taken a prominent position
as one of the leading democratic strong
holds of the state and this year will
prove no exception. 1t should pile up
the largest democratic majority of any
county in the state Republicans should
be shown they need not hope for demo
cratic votes.

OF the legislature intended to better en-
force the prohibition law. Mr.. johnson
knew those facts. and yet in the legis-
latlve halls of North Dakota in 1907, he
publicly endorsed Stevens for appoint
ment in the Attorney Generals office,
making use of his position as represen-
tatlve from Ward county to give weight
to that endorsement. And for what
purpose? To block the speedy and ef-
fectlve enforcement of the prohibition
law. Stevens was appointed by McCue,
and undor the direction of those two
worthless, the legal department of the
state government has come to be hum
bug, mockery and disgrace. This
is especially true so far as relates to the
enforcement of the prohibition law.
Mr.. johnson does not believe in re-
submisslon.-no, but as to the enforce
ment of the prohibition law, his record,
so far as he has record, condemns him
before the people. His endorsement of
Stevens and the subsequent appoint
ment OF that individual to the position
of Assistant Attorney General sounded
the death knell of law enforcement in
this state, SO far as the Attorney Gene
rails Department is concerned.
If further evidence of Mr.. Johnson's
attitude on law enforcement be needed,
look at Minot, his home city. AS
mayor of Minot he had an opportunity
to show his metal and at least try to en-
force the law. The evidence of his own
people-residents of Minot-condemns
him as one who wilfully and shamefully
neglected to raise his hand in the inter
est of law and order, ignoring the in
dignant protests of those who raised
their voices time and again against the
lawless and disgraceful conditions that
existed.
His career as executive of the city of
Minot is one of the black and forbidding
chapters of municipal government in
North Dakota.

Alexander Mckenzie's Candidate for
Governor of North Dakota

Alexander Mckenzie's Candidate for
Governor of North Dakota
G. A. johnson, when publicly speak
ing in Cass county in prohibition COM
munity, pledges himself to exceed his
functions as Governor and to usurp the
powers of the legislature. by actively
working to keep the prohibition law on
the statute books. Last summer, at the
Retail Druggists Association at Devils
Lake, in response to a question on "Per-
mits'' he sang out from the car, as it was
leaving, 81 SEE That YoU ALL HAVE
PERMITS" Ask the drug store men as
to the truth of this statement. He says
that when Mayor of Minot he enforced
the law and that there were no open
saloons. Ask any man who was at Minot
six years ago if he is telling the truth.
He told the w. c. L. U. women that he
was "total abstainer" and the McKen-
zie press bureau is advertising it far
and wide. When G. A. johnson was at
Bismarck the last two sessions he GER
tainly wasn't, and openly bought and
drank his beer at his friend Patterson's
hotel' "The North West. This in itself
is no crime, but man who does is not
man who begs the w. G. I. U. to en-
dorse him on the ground that he is
''total abstainer" Johnson's position Oh
the prohibition law is hot stuff Is it
any wonder that his own county and
city are conceded as lost to their home
candidate. On the other hand look at
Governor Burke's dignitied position. He
makes no claim for anything save that
as Governor he believes in enforcing all
laws. He makes no promises to usurp
the powers of the legislature and to in
huenoe legislation. As chief executive
officer he simply promises to enforce the
laws, no insincerity, no juggling. no
trickery with Governor Burke. If the
people want to re-elect him, he is will
ling to continue in his plain, simple way
of doing things. Ifthe people don't
want him, he will retire with the same
patient courtesy with which he accept
ed the Office. Whether Governor Burke
or Citizen Burke he will be the same,
unassuming, common, sincere and
courageous man, always the same.
