Deputy Revenue Collector
Refuses to Testify in
| District Court
Ira Griffin Pleads Guilty to
Failure to Register.
Liquor License
Alberts0n Case, for Same Of.
Tense, Is Being Fought
to Finish

On the reopening of court Tuesday
morning all the jurors were again
present. R. N. Stevens, assistant at
torney general was in court to assist
in the prosecution of the criminal
cases. Arrangements were made in
the cases against Charles Elwood
Graves of Bismarck for wife aban-
donment and Adolph Giavononi for
grand larceny of certain grain.
Ira Griffin, through his attorney, N.
F. Boucher, changed his plea Of not
guilty to one of guilty, in case in
which he is charged with failing to
register his special stamp receipt,
showing payment of U. s. special H.
quor tax, and he will be sentenced
Tuesday
A jury was then impanelled in the
case against c. H. Albertson on sim
liar charge to that against Griffin and
testimony was submitted defendant
being represented by Newton & Dull
lam.
Objections were plentiful on the
part of the defendant but some evil
dence was ELECTED from l. w. Healy,
county auditor, who produced paper
showing a list of special tax payers
in Burleigh county which list is sign
ed with the name "H. Ellerman, col
lector of internal revenue for the dis
trict of North and South Dakota and
to which seal is attached reading
as follows: collector Internal Rev
)enue, district Of North and South
Dakota"
George H. Piercy was then called
to the stand. He is deputy revenue
collector for the fourth division of the
North and South Dakota district. Al
ter few preliminary questions as to
his acquaintance with H. Ellerman, he
was shown the paper produced by Mr..
Healy and asked whether or not the
signature thereto attached was that
of H. Ellerman.
This question the witness refused
to answer, basing his refusal on a
regulation of the internal revenue de-
partment. After being apprized that
his refusal would subject him to pun
ishment he still persisted and the
court, therefore, put him in Jail for
contempt Of court.
After little more testimony the
state asked for a continuance until
Thursday morning. 1t is understood
that Piercy will ask the opinion Of
the United States judicial department
and if they advise him to answer the
question he will probably do so. It
may be that the matter will be mae
a test case, as to the interesting con.
flict between the state and the United
States laws
| AS the numerous other cases of this
nature will rest upon a decision in
this and other legal questions, no 9TH
er case was moved, and the jurors
were excused until Thursday morning
at 10 o'clock, Tuesday being holiday.
After the jurors were excused fur
Their testimony was taken in the pend
ing case between Burleigh and Kidder
counties over the townships in range
IA. The testimony is about complet-
ed and the case will be argued later.

INSTINCT THAT SAVED A LIFE
Thoroughbred Horse Refused to Step
 on Body in Roadway.

Stories of the wisdom of animals are not few in the present day, when the humane societies are doing so much to promote the rights of our dumb brethren, yet each new tale is not without it's own peculiar interest.
 The following true story concerns horse belonging to a man living in Worcester, Mass, writes Mrs. A. R. Knowlton, in Our Dumb Animals.
 Prince was a thoroughbred, his nat urally fine instincts sharpened and rendered more acute by his training, for he had known life on the race track, until some slight accident un- fitted him for that career and trans formed him into a carriage horse.
 He was being driven homeward one evening in winter when dusk was fast rendering even nearby objects invis- lb-e. Suddenly he stopped short, trem- bling all over
 In vain his driver urged him to pro- ceed. Prince refused to stir, and the quivering of his muscles increased.
 At last the driver left his seat to dis cover the cause of this unusual be- havior. It was soon explained. Just in, front of the horse-in fact almost beneath his upraised foot-lay a wom- an who had slipped, fallen and was unable to rise.
 To avoid doing her injury that splendid animal had resolutely held up his fore foot for more than a minute. No wonder he trembled from the strain of his unaccustomed position.

over $1OO,OOO from the general fund of the Service was turned from current expenses to defray the cost of this work, but much of the planned and urgent ly needed could not be carried out because there was nothing with which to pay for it.
 "Detailed estimates covering a total of $2,OOO,OOO for perman- ent improvements, which it was desired to complete i'll 1909, were submitted to the Congress; this showed for the entire amount exactly what 1t was proposed to undertake on each National Forest, and at what cost. The amount provided by the apprO- priation was S6OO,OOO. For 1910 estimates will again be submitted for permanent imprO vements, the cost of which aggregate $974,- 9S1. These estimates are th9 re- suit of specific and fully itemized plans, which are on file in the Forest Service. They are in no sense a request for lump sum, the spending of which remains to be planned in detail after ap propriat1On is made It is of ur- gent importance that this work should be provided for.
 "Though the construction of permanent improvements en- tails the need of provision for their maintenance, the added efficiency of the Forests as eco nOnOmic resources secured thru these improvements richly repayS the cost. With the National For estS, as with any other resources, their returns depend on the ex- tent to which development takes place through judicious outlays of capital. If the land is not to remain a wilderness 1t must be made serviceable to the needs of civilized man by constructive eX- penditures'

Arizona's Interest in Ma Iional Forest Improve
 mentS.

Washington, D. C. Arizona has a natural interest in that part of the report of the Secre- tary of Agriculture which IS de- voted to permanent improve ments on the Governments Ma tiOnal Forests. Such work as the construction of miles of trail, telephone lines, drifts and pas ture fences, ranger houses and barns has opened up and i'm proved many square miles of ter ritOrv in the nine National For ests in the state. and for these and similar purposes $27, ,S92 95 was spent during the last fiscal year, ending June 30, 1908.
 Thirty and one half miles of trails were built, 1O612 miles of telephone line were strung, and the forest ranges were improved bv the construction of 25 miles of drift fence and AZ miles of pas ture fence Dur1ug the year 23 houses to be used for ranger quarters were built, six wa tering places on the range were imprOv- ed, and various miscellaneous improvements were made. In speaking of the permanant i'm prGvemcnt work on all the Ma tional Forests, the Secretary of Agriculture has the following to say in his annual report:
 "The agricultural apprOpria tiOn act of 1908 included an item of S5OO,OOO, which was made available for permanant improve ment work on the National For ests. The object of this work is to help open up the Forests to more use and provide means for their better and more economical pro- lection, through the supply of mears of communication and transportation, well-located field quaters, fire lines, fences to as- sist in the handling of stock, and watering places. These improve ments are essentially investments of capital, which add greatly to the value and usefulness of the Forests.
 "The work completed during tine year moulded 8, 400 miles of tralls, 3,2OO miles of telephone lines, 100 miles of wagon road, 40 miles of fire line, 25O bridges, $50 cabins and barns, and 600 miles of pasture and drift fences. In addition to the sum provided by the special-improvement fund,

WHY RAGE THE HEATHEN?"

Midas Criterion, the we'll known liquor
organ, gives its readers in every num-
Der entertaining and instructive letters
from representatives of the liquor trade
at important centers throughout the
country One of these letters is always
from Cincinnati. The letter which comes
from that city under date of March 10
and is published in the Criterion of
March 16 is more than usually inter-
esting. The writer comments upon the
passage in the Ohio legislature of the
so-called Rose bill which makes the
county the unit in local Prohibition in
Ohio in the following stoical strain:
1t was no surprise to the trade, as
stated in previous letters; it was
sort of case of waiting -the-morgue
to see the remains carried in The
only question was the size of the ma
jority. Optimistic whisky and beer peo
pie thought there was a chance to cut
that majority down; but it doesn't
show in the returns. Every legisla

est and weakest were driven to main
tain themselves by practices intoler
able by any decent community The
10 or 20 percent of independent sa
looms seldom offend decency or dis
turb public order.
The offense comes from the lower
kind of brewery-maintained saloons
and they are driven to it to escape
starvation. The wisest among the
brewers are beginning to recognize this
but they shrink from the only radi
cal cure
That is such strict limitation of the
number of saloons in every city as
should make license profitable pos
session and give its holder material
interest in escaping forfeiture by obey
ing the law.
While there is no doubt at all about

lishments of the noted officials of the
liquor dealers associations and the pal
ace barrooms of the great hotels are
quite as villainous and quite as much
scandal to right public sentiment, as
the lowest dives that the brewers run
anywhere.
The Tribnne'S radical cure" is sheer
quackery There are, i'll all our great
cities, hundreds of saloons the license

owners of which are under all sorts of
bonds to obey the law, yet which VIC

looms owned by the breweries-a fact
which discredits the pretensions of the
brewers to grave anxiety for the re-
spectability of the trade-the Tribme's
statement concerning the good charac
ter of the independent" saloons is
clearly contrary to we'll known facts.

once glorious Conrier-Jourtdl that the
editor of that paper has gone clean
daffy," it must be found in the poor old
Colonies reiterations of his exposed and
exploded falsehoods about the Prohi-
bition movement. In one of the dou
e-leaded editorials which are always
recognized as the work of Colonel Wat
terson, on March 1s, the Courier
Journal cries out:
Is the Democratic party of Ken
lucky prepared, "in convention as
sembled." to traverse a century OF
Democratic history and to proclaim
its adhesion to sumptuary laws so
abhorrent to the fathers of Democ
racy? If is not the sooner the lead
ers of the party in the state recover
their lost poise and balance so as to
resist the encroachments of fanati-
cism, the better for the future of the
party, as a party, and the people, as
people. Democracy can never stand
in Kentucky, or anywhere else, upon
the prohibition idea, but least of all
in Kentucky, where hundreds of mil
lions of dollars in property values,
trademark values, tax values are in
volved, directly affecting consider
able percentage of the population, and
indirectly affecting all the population.
The simple issue which is presented
us by the advocates of Prohibition
for nothing less will satisfy the in
tolerant religionaries and their retinue
of red-nosed angels, the pharasalc
politicians this: shall we perpe-
trate an industrial revolution, extin-
gushing these millions of values and
involving widespread disaster, in or
der to make Kentucky "as dry as
Maine" which is not dry at all?
One is almost inclined to pity writer
who feels SO badly as the author of that
sort of stuff must. 1t touches in some
way the same chords that are moved by
a maniac's devotion to his pet delusion.
Yet there seems to be a glimmer of
method in the Coloners madness, after
all, for he goes on to say:
Nothing has been more clearly dem
onstrated than the futility of under
taking to curb human appetite by
surnptuary legislation. The United
States Census Bureau has gathered
statistics which show that the number
of arrests for drunkenness increases
with the decrease of the number of
saloons, and that there is the most
drunkenness where, in proportion to
population, the number of licensed sa
looms is smallest, or where total Pro-
hibitiOn is in force
Certainly this is not madness but
mendacity, for Colonel Watterson
knows, and every one knows, that the
United States Census Bureau has gath
cred no statistics of the sort, and that
that whole fake was exposed months
ago. But it fires the old Colonel with |
new furore and he rushes into almost |
a column more of denunciation of Pro-
hibition, foaming at the mouth, to use
no very extreme figure over the dread |

LAND OPENINGS IN FALL.
No More Indian Reservations Will Be
Opened in the Sprinu.

Washington, March 10. - Secretary
Garfield has announced a new policy
in regard to the opening of Indian res
ervations of the West to white settle
ment. Most of these openings have
been he'd In the spring or early sum-
mer. After this they will be held in
the fall only. Homesteaders are given
six months to get on to their land
after the opening. If the opening is
held in the spring or early summer it
forces the homesteader on their lands
late in the fall or in the winter. Great
hardships frequently result.
By holding the openings in the fall
the h~omesteaders will not have to be
on their lands until spring. This will
enable them to go to work putting In
crops.
The next opening will be an S38, 900
tract in Trip county, South Dakota.
1t is a part of the Rosebud reserva.
ton. 1t will be opened next Septem-
Der or October.
