County Commissioners Will Gather on
March 5.
At a me ting of the county commits.
sioners of Benson, Pierce, Wells,
Ward and Mclean counties, in Minot.
"a resolution was adopted calling a
meeting of the county commissioners
of every county in the state, to be
held in Fargo, Thursday, March s.
The object of the state meeting will
be to discuss the state tax law and
other general matters wherein the
commissioners find trouble each year.
It seems to be the general impression
of the commissioners that the as.
SCISSORS should assess personal prop.
erty at it's full value. If this uniform
rule is adopted, it will b. an easy
matter for the commissioners to equal.
ize the taxes from this basis.
The Fargo meeting is looked for
ward to with interest, and will doubt.
less prove beneficial.

TURK MAY LOSE CLAIM.
Makes Final Proof, but Naturalization
Is Being Contested.

10 oSsuS SOueSSeS0s
A remarkable question has arisen
in the case of Moustaft Mahmond
Mounnauar, Turk. who has taken a
claim ten miles from Jamestown. He
made final proof in September, paying
$4OO for the land and taking receipt.
The proof was sent to the general
land office in the usual way. and sew
eral days ago he appeared in James
town and made application for citi-
zen's papers. Now, however. from
the Washington department an order
has come to resist the naturalization
of the applicant, supposed to be
Turk.
If the effort to deny his naturaliza-
ton is successful and he is denied
citizenship, and the issuance of his in
tention was unwarranted, it looks as
if Mammalian will lose his land.

The State Day BY Day
brick INDUSTRY is Big HELP.

Quality Of Brick Manufactured In
Western Part Of State as Good az
Made Anywhere In the Country.
II North Dakota was shut off from
the rest of the world it could supply
It's people with all the necessities Of
life, with a good many of the lux
uries. Every day developments are
being made which makes the Flick
'ertail state more capable of taking
care of itself, and it could we'll exit
without outside assistance.
One of the late developments which
has been made is that of the brick
industry, which is a thriving one in
the western part Of the state. For
some time there has been good brick
made west of the Missouri, and now
the Washburn Ignite Coal Co. is
making an excellent quality. of this
great building product as their coal
mine north of Bismarck.
In speaking of the matter Saturday.
Harry Hammond, manager of the
Washburn Ignite Coal Co., said:
"Our new industry, which has now
been in operation since last summer,
is coming to the front, and we are
now making quality of pressed
brick which cannot be surpassed for
building purposes in any other place
In the country. The brick is made
from superior quality of clay which
is taken from under the coal in the
mines and VIC hovo On oy.oor4 h...,.
burner from the East, who is super
vising that part of the business. AS
we are burning the bricks with Ignite
coal, we are able to make the brick
at reasonable cost and the fuel has
proved very satisfactory in every re-
spect since we have learned how to
handle 1t. At first considerable trou-
bic was experienced by the burner
In learning the use of coal and sew.
eral kilns of brick were ruined by be.
ing over or under burned. However,
that has all been overcome, and our
brick is excellent, both in color and
texture, and the other qualities which
go to make up a high class pressed
brick.
I'VE have not been selling much OF
this commodity so far, as we are a
new firm and have not been making
any efforts to dispose Of it. but fully
believe that 1t will only be short
time until great quantities of it will
be used, as we have advantages OF
freight, and the material produced is
as good as is to be found any place
1t Is also a North Dakota industry
which is one more to add to the in
dependence of the state from outside
supply"

|MlsTook DRUG FOR MEDICINE.
Palermo Woman Escapes Very Tragic
Death.

|
Death.
Last Friday morning social Palermo
was thrown into intense excitement
by what nearly proved fatal mis-.
take by one of the most respected la
dies. Mrs. Hoff thought she was
taking a headache tablet, but by mis-
take swallowed a tablet. of bi-chloride
of mercury. Mrs. Hoff is the wife of
oscar Hof, one of Palermos most
popular merchants, and their resi-
dence is in the Mccain house. On
the morning above mentioned, Mrs.
tiof was troubled with headache, and.
seeking to relieve it, made mistake
which nearly cost her life. Fortu.
nately she discovered her mistake
within few moments after taking
the tablet, and lost no time in &C.
quainting Mrs. Mccain and her SIS
ter, Miss McSherry, of the fact.
These ladies promptly hailed a pass
ing team and the sufferer was driven
rapidly to McDoyell & Sons drug
store, where all aid was rendered. In
the meantime, DR.. Wicks of Blaisdell
was 'phoned for, who, on his arrival,
found her out of danger, and that her
safety was due to her own presence
of mind, and the prompt action of the
ladies who assisted her to the drug
store.
The case proved a stubborn one,
and for a considerable time No ono
could say what the result would be,
and there was great thankfulness ex-
pressed when it became known that
the drug had been counteracted. The
patients suffering was great before
she obtained relief, but by Sunday
she was able to be about, with few
reminders of her narrow escape.

HEARING FALLS FLAT.

Commission Dismisses Case.

Plaintiff Was Absent and Interstate
Commission Dismisses Case.
The case Of William Patten Of
Palermo against the Wisconsin Cen
trail and the Great Northern railroads,
which was brought before the inter.
state commerce commission at Minot,
resulted in dismissal Of the action,
owing to the failure of the plaintiff
to put in an appearance.
The action was brought to deter.
mine the reasonableness of emigrant
and lumber rates from independence,
Wis.,, to Palermo, N. D. The plaintiff
shipped carload of emigrant goods
and carload of lumber from indie.
pendence to Palermo last year. He
received the emigrant rate on his car
of machinery, etc., and contended that
he was entitled to the same rate on
his car of lumber, inasmuch as it was
to be used on his claim. The rail-
roads contended that lumber did not
come under the head of emigrant
goods. and, therefore, the regular rate
would apply. There being no appear
ance. the action was dismissed.
A. H. Lossow, special examiner OF
the interstate commerce commission,
was present to take the testimony;
Walter D. Corrigan, attorney for the
Wisconsin Central; A. F. Clark, as
sistant traffic manager of the Wiscon-
sin Central; G. ]. Murphy, attorney
for the Great Northern, and Jas. Rob-
inson, Great Northern division freight
agent, were also present at the hear
ing.

We appeal to these nations and all the
nations OF the world to assemble as soon
as theN, necessary proceedings will permit
and permanently establish an international
the World, vested with legislative, judicial
and executive functions with power to
make, Judge and execute laws, and to
provide for the final disposal of all their

WORKING ON PRIMARY LAW
Generally Agreed Senatorial Prefer
ence Must Be on Separate Ballot.
SHORT TERM Is TO BE FILLED
House by Decisive Vote Lines Up with
the Senate on This PROPOSE
tiOn-CaucuA to Decide
Nominee.
From a staff correspOndent.l


DIES MONIES, Sept. 4-(Special.)-lt can
be prephecied with every degree OF accuracy
tina the legislature will amend the pri-
mary election law to provide for a vote on
senator separate from the regular election
ballot, with a strong party declaration,
with full right to challenge the voters VINO
ask for the separate senatorial ballot, and
with the requirement that when challenged
they must swear in their vote. The DRIFT
to this idea is very noticeable today and
the complicated situation of republican pol
itios is, however, compelling many OF the
members of the legislature to talk publicly
and vote on nonessentials much different
from what they talk privately.
The lawyer members of the
which is drawing the new bill have agreed
that to nut the senatorial primary vote on
the regular ballot and require the voter
to vote for certain republican nominees or
for a percentage of them before MS vote
on senatorial nomination could be counted
would be unconstitutional. Senator Whip
pie, one of the best lawyer members OF
the senate and a standpatter, and Repre-
sentative Harding OF Woodbury., one of the
best lawyers there and a standpatter, agree
to this. This, therefore, necessitates a sep
arate ballot. The only proposition now Is
to work out the details 10 keep democrats
from getting the republican ballot on SEN
ator. The committee today agreed upon
the general provisions of the bill and prom
ised today to have 1t ready to introduce
tomorrow. 1t will be read a first and sec
ond time then, and the next day will prob
ably be passed.
on the question of the election OF a sem
ator for the short term 1t is agreed that
there shall be an election. Lawyers have
been looking up the provisions of the law.
they find that in the 10th United States
report, in a case reported on page Col, the
court says;
TIL frequent failures Of the legislatures
Of the states to elect senators al the
proper time. by one branch Of the legis-
iatire voting for one person and the other
branch for another person, and refusing
in any manner TO reconcile their differ
ences, led congress to pass an act when
compelled the two bodies to meet IN Joint
convention, and fixing the day when TINS
should be done, and requiring them so TO
meet on every day thereafter and vote for
a senator until one was elected.
In addition to the law on the matter
the house today turned down the Handle
ton resolution TO adjourn TIL November 0
on the theory that the law being so plain
as to the particular day On which the
election shall take place, there was no
avoiding the mandate. and that 1t was
especially bad precedent for a l%aWmaking
body to disObey Law.
Every member OF the legislature is more
concerned with his own election than any
