On March 9Th, 1907, Gustaf G

before me, justice of the peace,
against Wylie Martin for stealing his

attorney for his approval to. issue

In a little while you will not have
to walk up to the clerk in the drug
store or at the cigar stand and ask
him apologetically to sell you post
age stamp. Instead, there will be
stamp vending machines provided, in
to which you will drop your nickel
IN an appropriate slot and out of
Fhich viii come the number and kind
bf stamps you want, all done up neat
ly in an envelope. And as usual,
North Dakotans are concerned with
this invention, which promises to rev.
oiutionize the stamp vending business
outside the general postofice dispen-
saries. And it may come to pass that
tAe government itself will adopt these
means of disposing of stamps neatly
aAd with dispatch. A Minneapolis
concern has just been organized tc
take charge of the manufacture and
sale of these machines for the United
States, and we find that Robert c
Hanna, a brother of Senator L. B
Hanna of Fargo, is president of the
new company, Senator A. Garrett of
Pambina county, is an officer, and al
SO E. H. James of st. Thomas, in Penn
bfna county. Thus Differed, the new
concern should live long and prosper.

Time ASKED
BY RAILROADS

Washington, D. c., Mar. THE
Interstate Commerce Commission to-
day formally denied petitions by rail-
roads for the extension of the time
within which to comply with the act
of congress relating to the hours of
work by telegraphers. The petitions
alleged that in some cases the ina.
bility to secure the additional force
required and in most cases the fnan
cial hardship which compliance i'm
poses.
1t was held by the commission
unanimously that to grant such whole,
sale orders of extension would inter
fere in effect with the policy of the
legislation in it's fundamental aspects
and would amount to an amendment
of the law by the official body charg-
ed with its administration. 1t was
said further that to grant the extern
sion on account of financial distress
would open the door to endless un-
certainties because there is no posi-
BILE means of determining the degree
of financial distress which would jus
tify extension, and if more financial
hardship is in the language of the
law good cause for postponing COM
plance it was equally good cause for
refusal to pass the law.

FRACTURE AS RESULT OF Be
ING THROWN FROM HORSE.

Roy Hauser, a yong man residing
at Menoken, was brought to the city
