: Upon Mr.. Littlehales' suggestion the

fire the $4,000 gallons of water, by
means of the engine and proper at
tachment with the water mains, could
be used at any point within six blocks
of the city half without drawing from
the regular water supply. This change
can be made for less than $50.

DICKINSON ELECTS
WATER SUPERINTENDENT
w. j. LlTTLEHALES is CHOSEN
AND THE ORDINANCE WILL
BE PASSED LATER.

Dickinson, N. D., May A special
meeting of the city council was held
in the city hall Saturday evening.
Mayor Frye was in thcehair and
stated that the meeting was called for
the purpose of electing superintend-
ent of the water works.
For the last few weeks there has
been considerable difficulty at the city
well. The pump has been out of
whick several times and sand in the
bottom of the well has caused so
much trouble that the mayor and al
dermen were unanimous in the belief
that a. permanent overseer of the wa
ter works system was necessary. The
new well is ready for the pit and ma
sorry work, and the new pump is on
the road, and it would be absolutely
necessary for the city to have capa-
bic man to attend to the installation
of the new machinery.
There is no ordinance covering the
appointment of superintendent of
water works, but the aldermen deem.
ed it best to make the appointment at
once and create the position by or
dinance later. The council unani-
mously voted to employ supeintend-
ent of water works at salary of
| $125 per month, with w. J. Littlehales
preferred.

MERRY DAIRYMAIDS
WHY HOME TALENT PRODUC.
TlONS ARE GOOD THING
FOR A CITY.

The home talent possesses an ad.
vantage over the foreign company,
both from financial view point and
often from an artistic standpoint All
that is spent in advertising, for opera
house, for orchestra and accompani-
ment, the local expenses of the direc.
tor and the local scciety's share of
the proceeds stay in the city for the
benefit of it's citizens. Fully three
fourths of the total receipts are thus
kept at home. In every city of over
5000 there are many who possess
hlstrionic talent of higher order
than that possessed by the average
actor in the road companies, who is
working at an average salary of SIS
per week. Men and women who are
college bred, perhaps, and hove re-
ceived valuable training in college
theatricals. The local actor and ac-
tress have greater responsibility
placed upon their shoulders than the
average stranger has. What they do
is done before lifelong acquaintance,
and the ability to subject personal
characteristics and merge themselves
into the characters portrayed requires
greater talent. This is one of the Sc.
crets of the popularity of home talent
productions. People like to see their
own people act and hear them sing.
The big benefit of the Civic I'm
provement league next Friday anG
Saturday nights with matinee for the

ises to be one of the best home tai
ents Bismarck has had. Reserve YOU

A news dispatch from New York
is interesting as showing that the
drink bill of the country is decreas-
ing, and it is asserted that in the
past two months there has been a
noticeable decrease in the consump-
ton of liquors, notably whisky.
Whether this is due to the large in
crease that has been made in dry ter
ritory by the voters, under the pres
sure of the arguments and labors of
prohibitionists, or whether it is due
to a voluntary decrease in liquor
drinking by the people themselves,
will be perhaps debatable, but it
seems to us that the test of the eff
feciency of prohibition is to be found,
not in the number of dry states or
the amount of dry territory, but in
the total amount of liquors consum-
ed by the whole people in given
period. If it shall be shown that the
quantity of liquor consumed by the
American people is being decreased,
and if that decrease continues in
the future, then we may believe that
the good effects of temperance
preaching, of prohibitory legislation
or of the morals of the people them
selves is becoming apparent.

at the city hall. The Bismarck Con-
struction Co.'s bid was $3,623, while
that of Soules & Butler was only
$2,773.S5. The plans call for tank
with outside dimensions Of about %
x56-12 feet and the difference between
the two bids is rather surprising. The
council did not see fit to let the con-
tract at this time and still has the
matter under consideration.
The St. Paul Union Stock Yards
Co. has issued a very complete report
of the live stock business for 1907
in which North Dakota is credited
with $3.50 carloads of cattle, sheep
horses and hogs, twice as many cars
as was received from South Dakota
and 400 more cars than are credited
in Montana. This report, it must be
understood, is for stock received at
South st. Paul.

The spotter law, which authorizes
rewards of $50 each for blind pigs
caught and properly trussed up for
slaughter, has been declared in eff
feet by Judge Templeton at Grand
Forks, who has directed the state
auditor to pay two claims for $50
each to the sheriff of Grand Forks
county. The spotter law has been
the rounds of the courts, having been
originally brought in the supreme
court, and that tribunal threw out
the case on the ground that it was
not a matter in which the supreme
court would assume original juris-
diction. The facts of the matter
hinge upon the failure of the tenn
perence commissioner law. Prior to
the passage of this law there was a
law on the statute books authorizing
a reward of $50 each to be paid by
the state for the arrest and convic.
ton of blind piggers. When the
temperance commissioner was declar
ed unconstitutional, there was {
question as to whether the repeal O.
the reward was effective or not. At
torney General McCue took thu
ground that, as this was an indie
pendent provision of the law, ant
was not covered by the decision O
the supreme court in the temperate,
commissioner case, the repeal of tn
reward law was in effect Judg
Templeton takes the opposite view
1t is likely the supreme court vii
be called upon finally to decide tn
matter

The Grand Forks Herald takes the
view that the action of the Grand
Forks county Republican convention
in refusing to give aid or comfort to
Senator Hansbrough's supporters,
finally disposes of the senatorial can
didacy of Senator Hansbrough. 1t is
thought by the Herald that if Sen
ator Hansbrough could have obtain
ed a part of the delegation it would
have been an inspiration to his fol-
lowers in other parts of the state,
but that now his case is hopeless.

THE COST OF POLITICAL HoNoRs

Attention is called to the fact that,
considering the low salaries paid by
the state to it's servants, and the
necessarily great expense of con-
Quoting primary campaign, the
primary election law is not likely to
prove satisfactory to the candidates,
and it seems to us questionable
whether in the end a state wide peo-
pie, or productive of any better re-
suits than the convention system
True it is that any man has the OPP
portunity to become candidate for.
Office, but how many men will care
to become candidates for Offices that
pay $4,000 year, when the neces-
sary expenses of their nomination
than a years salary. True, also,
there is certain reward in the hon
or of being chosen to public Office,
but will the practical man, who must
have an eye to his personal and
financial welfare, consider this re-
ward adequate as compensation for
his expenditure of time and money?
The campaign in this state, in a
good many sources, has degenerated
into a campaign of abuse, SANDER,
Misrepresentation and hatreds that
are both political and more than
that. We have had already nearly
six months of campaign and we
are in for two more months before
the primaries are over. Then we
are in for four or five months of a
campaign after the primaries and I'M
til the election. And following a
few months lull, we begin again up
on another campaign. The primary
law seems to incline to the enlarge
ment and the frightening of politi-
cal campaigns rather than thei1
shortening. 1t tends to complicate
rather than simplify We think it is
open to question whether state
wide primary is at all the ideal o.
nearly ideal method of determining
our political choices. Possibly be
fore the present campaign is owe
we shall have more light on tn

The defeat of the bonding PROPOSE
ton for a city hall was not unexpect-
ed. 1t has been a foregone conclus-
ion ever since the presentation of the
proposition to utilize the present lot
owned by the city On Fourth street.
This scheme contemplates the build
ing of a two story structure for the
use of the fire department, city hall
and city lookup in the rear, for the
present needs of the city, leaving the
building of city hall till such time
as a more pretentious building can be
erected than contemplated by the
bonding proposition presented at the
special election. Thus the bonding
was opposed by many who would
otherwise have favored it.

HENEy ATTACKS
SENATOR FULTON
DEM0UNCES HIM AS
MISUSIMG HIS OFFICE
Celebrated Prober Into Graft Gives
Some Startling Denunciations
at Portland.

PORTLAND, Jan. 2S.-In n
speech tonight on Graft vs.. Good
Citizenship" Francis ]. Heney de-
livered a terrible grilling to U. 5.
Senator Charles W. Fulton. The
speaker also alluded to railroads.
which he accused of undertaking TO
monopolize industries of the country
and which, unless curbed, would
finally accomplish their ends, and to
the San Francisco graft cases, in con-
nection with the latter matter eX-
planning that by controlling he board
of supervisors public service corpor-
ations of that city were enabled to
charge exhorbitant rates for Their
service and increase their dividends
proportionately.
Heney's main object of attack,
however, was senator Fulton and his
acceptance of the latter's recent
challenge that Heney either present
some evidence to substantiate his
charges or discontinue his attacks
against the senator, the speaker pre-
scented his evidence much as he does
in trying case, reading what he de-
clared were statements, public docu
ments and sworn affdavits, in sub
sanitation of his accusations that
Fulton had misused his high office.
