BANK COMPETITION FROM

In commenting on this, the Omaha

Among the notable men of the
state to be overtaken by death this
week is the Hon. Arne P, Haugen of
Reynolds, Grand Forks county. Mr..
Haugen was a well-known man of the
state, he having served during a
number of sessions of the legislature
as member of the house of repre-
sentatives, he being a member of that
body at the time of his death. He
dts an ardent worker for the cause
Of prohibition and other issues Of

his views on public matters he was
always fair, easily approached by his
adversaries on public questions. He
has figured prominently for years in
state politics, was ever loyal to his
friends and acquaintance, and his

The rise of Fred bennett from the
time he was sent to Seattle in April,
1908. as special agent of the land de-
partment, to his recent appointment
as commissioner of the land office,
has been rapid and his success pleas
ing to his old North Dakota friends.
1t is all the more gratifying because
of the unusual fact that his prefer
ment has come through personal, rath-
er than political influence. His zap
pointment as assistant commissioner
was made at the request of Commits
sioner Ballinger; who had observed
Mr.. Dement'S official career in Seat
tie and his elevation to the head of
the general land Office was also made
by the president at the request of
Secretary Garfield, and entirely with
out influence or request from either
Senator Hansbrough or Senator Nc
Cumber, who Were not advised by
President Roosevelt of the appoint
ment until after it was made, although
the appointment was gratifying and
entirely satisfactory to both of our
senators.

THE WATERWAYS CONGRESS

THE first convention Of the Missouri
River Navigation Congress, to be held
in Sioux City, on the 22nd inst, is at
tracting unusual interest from the fact
that all over the country the spirit of
patriotism regarding the improvement
and utilization of our great waterways
is being aroused. The governors of
North and South Dakota and states trib-
utary to, the Missouri will be there in
person at the head of their respective
delegations and all the leading cities
on the Missouri river will send delega-
tons to participate in the movement
for the improvement and greater utili-
zation of natures highways.
Speaking of this congress the Hell
ena Independent says:
The Missouri, with inconsiderable
expense as compared with the result
ant value, can be made navigable as
far as Fort Benton In the effort at
dredging or maintaining channel,
and even after the railroads had pene-
trated Montan and the territory was
sparSely settled and; in it's infancy,
thirty million pounds of river freight
were hauled to Fort Benton from the
single port of st. Louis in one year
Since then, with the advent of other
roads from various sections, the big
river cities of the lower river have
become commercially estranged from
this rich and growing region
The restoration of a navigable Mis-
souri, river. channel would restore the
vast commerce that once passed up
and down the river; it would put the
Old marts of Missouri and Nebraska,
of Iowa and the lower rivers once
more in competition for the business
of these upriver .harbors, and with the
heart and center of the Dakotas and of
Montana. 1t may be that the young
generations of such famous CONNER
cial centers as st. Louis have forgot
ten the old, rich glories of the upper
Missouri trade. It can and will all be
restored with the establishment of riv-
er navigation to Fort Benton. Earnest
factors in behalf of the re-establish-
lnent of river navigation should quick
1y come to a new understanding of
the great back country which is Gag
or to come again in touch with them
and which approves of the lakes to
the gulf feature of the new movement
because, if carried to a logical concll-
sion, it would put the whole interior
north, south, east and west, in mari
time touch with tidewaEer and with
the great markets and ports of the
nation
Without a natural, q free and a
mighty highway for commerce such as
is afforded by the Missouri river in
its connection with the great cities of
the lower river and of the Mississippi
It is not possible to consider the river
transportation movement as national
policy or without includtng the re-es
Establishment of river traffic upon the
Missouri to the head Of navigation
Many of the great fortunes of such
cities ASS Louis were founded upon
tllat upriYer traffic III old days when
methods of navigation were crude
when nature was depended upon tc
care for the channel and when the
whole northwest was mere wilder
ness as compared with its present
busy prosperity

airy law was scorned and the methods
of the insurgent leaders savored more
of bossism, and arrogant dictation than
any methods ever adopted by the lead
ers of the republican organization in
the state. How we'll do we all remem-
Der the charges of packed conven-
tions,' g nomination by BOSSES" 'ar-
rogant dictation,' ''muzzled elector-
ate'' and other similar charges hurled
at the republican organization. And
then we find the insurgent leaders of
the state outdoing anything ever at
tempted by the organization and the
insurgent press apologizing for it and
defending it.
Next we have the reports of large
fund with which to carry the primar-
les if possible, and this recalls to us
the charges of DOODLE" corruption"
"bribed voters" and the like charged
against the leaders of the republicans
by the insurgent press and their demo-
cratic followers. But, however, it may
be, now we find the insurgent press de.
Tending the use of money and the &C
emulation of large campaign fund
larger, we may believe, than was ever
sought to be gathered together before
| 1t has no greater bearing on the
| sincerity of the insurgents than to
show that with them it is anything to
nominate the ticket desired by a few
bosses and to carry it at the primaries
1t proves that the pretenses and pro
LESSONS of the insurgent leaders are
/ wholly false, superficial and hypocriti
cal, and that there are no methods
known to the political experts they
are not willing to adopt to carry the
primaries.
We may dismiss the incident of the
Grand Forks convention and of the
campaign fund with no further com
ment. They speak for themselves.

The following from the Sheldon
Progress:
The Republican national com
mittee has raised more hob with
North Dakota's new primary law
by calling the national convention
to meet at Chicago on June 16.
Our, law provides that this states
delegates shall be elected at a
state convention to be held June
"a. This will necessitate holding
county conventions to select dele
gates to the state convention. The
writer was taught in early life
that you can't make men sober
by act of parliament; our legis-
lature is having hard time max
ing laws to induce men to exercise
their full rights as sovereign citi-
zens.
The Progress evidently hasn't read
the law. 1t is the state primary cleo
ton that is to be held on June oath
The selectios of presidential electors
is exempted from the provisions of thu
primary law. These will be chosen
by conventions held in the old way
The republican state committee meets
at Fargo on the 22nd inst. to fix thu
date of the state convention and the
apportionment of delegates to the var
ious counties. These conventions
should be held at time, as early dat5
as possible, that will be most con
venient to the farmers of the state.

FARGO FIRE
COS. WON'T
GET MONEY
Decision by Supreme Court
Yesterday Prevent Fargo.
Companies From Getting
Their Share Of Commits
SiOnS

Yesterday the supreme court hand
ed down a decision that is Of i'm
portance to the different branches of
the fire department at Fargo. and
may affect the fire departments of
other cities of the state.
About two years ago when the city
of Fargo received it's share from the
state of the two per cent tax paid
by insurance companies, the
department at Fargo claimed there
was due them the sum of 81 ,O6O.
City Treasurer Mitchell of Fargo, re-
fused to pay the money to the de-
partment on the ground that Fargo's
department was paid one and not
entitled to the money, and turned the,
sum into the general fund of that
city.
The department held they were en-
titled to the money because the com
panies there were volunteer COM
panies. The city treasurer claimed it
was a paid department and held the
money.
The matter went to the district
court and Judge Pollock rendered
judgment in favor of the firemen.
The city appealed to the supreme
court and Judge Pollock was. re-
versed. The syllabus by the court
is as follows:
In an action by a fire company to
recover from city it's proportionate
share of the two per cent of the pre-
miums received upon fire policies, is
sued on property in such city, under
section 1868, Rev. Codes 1905, the
plaintiff must show affirmatively that
it had the management of at least
one steam, hand or fire engine, hook
and ladder truck, or hose cart during
the time wherein it claims to be en-
titled to such premiums.
Where the officials of the city fire
department have sole charge of all
fire apparatus for use at fires, all Of
which was owned by, the city, and the
duties of the other members of the
fire department simply require them
to repair to the fire on alarm, and to
aid in extinguishing it, the depart
ment as companies, has no such man
agement of the apparatus named as
is contemplated by section 296S, Rev
Codes 1905, to entitle it to a share
| in the fund received from insurance
premiums.
In this case it is shown six mem.
| bers of the fire department of the
defendant city were paid annual or
monthly salaries. and all other mem
bers of the department were paid in
| accordance with the ordinance of the
city; one dollar for the first hour
and so cents per hour for all subse.
| quent time, in the day time, and Z.
cents in the night time for time
spent in actual attendance at fires
and that the amount so paid by the
city to its fire department for per.

volved in this section, was over S.,

was a paid department within tht
meaning of section 296S, Rev. Code!
