Larson
@ Mandau1used

A writ of mandamus was served
Monday evening on County Auditor
Louis A. Larson of Ward county, by
the county commissioners Of Noun
trail county, Ed. Schullenberg, Franz
Gaulke and John Berg, for the pur.
pose OF allowing the Mountrail county
officers access to the county records
so that the information thus obtained
may be used in connection with the
settlement between the counties Of
Ward and Mountrail. .7
The writ was made returnable BE-.
fore Judge Goss at his chambers at
q o'clock Tuesday afternoon. After
bearing the evidence, the Judge order
ed that the writ be sustained, and d.
rected Auditor Larson to give the
representative from Nountrail coun-
ty all the assistance that he can. to-
ward furnishing the information de-
sired, and that he allow said repre-
sentative the use Of his flee between
the hours of nine o'clock in the morn
ing and five in the afternoon. Attys.
Miller, MCGEE and Linde appeared for
tho REALTORS, while States Attorney
Dudley Nash appeared for the respon-
dent.
Auditor Larson explains to the In
dependent that the only reason he
had in not allowing Mr.. Davis, the
first representative sent from Noun
taril county, to examine the records,
was that Mr.. Davis was an entire
stranger to him. and besides, he did
not furnish a bond. Mr.. Larson did
not wish to take the responsibility
of allowing a perfect stranger to go
thru the records. He sent word to the
Mountrail commissioners that he
would be glad to lend what assistance
he could to anyone who could furnish
a bond, or to some we'll known resi-
dent Of Mountrail county.
Now that Judge 1Goss has ordered
Mr.. Larson to throw open his Office
for an examination If the records, Mr..
Larson will no doubt do this, in his
usual accommodating manner.
What the Mountrail county COM
missioners can hope to gain by an ex-
animation Of the records, is matter
we do not understand, as the law
plainly states that the settlement must
be made according to the assessed
valuation Of the two counties. If the
Mountrail county commissioners hope
to dig away back into the records, and
consider warrants p.'d for improve
ments years ago, which improvements
are not nearly worth today what they
were when made, we believe that
they'll be badly fooled, or else we
don't understand the law.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, June S.-"If
the ~Oillcials~ OF all big cities of the
United states would take as much
pains to enforce laws created to pro-
tect babies as they do TO enforce those
created for the benefit of grown-ups.
the frightful death rate among the lit
lie tots of our country would be cut
IN half"
This is the statement of City Health
Oficer L. NJ. Powers, OF Los Angeles,
q baby champion who has won his
right to be listened 10. For statistics
show that, for babies, Powers has
made Los Angeles the most healthful
city OF 100000 Inhabitants or over in
the United States, IL not in the world
The latest figures disclose that only
one of every 10 babies born in this
city die before they are one year old.
while the general death rate for all
the cities in-the United States is one
out of every six. 1000
The babies born in this city from
May 1, 1907, to May 1, 1908, number
ed 1884. Including all races. or
these only AIS died before they were
one year old.
There are several very important
REASONS for this low mortality among
babies, and II the other cities would
follow our plan there is no reason
why the frightfui death rate among
babies should not be cut down. says
Dr. Powers
Here are the rules by which this
city keeps down the death rate among
newborn babies:
THE laws against the over-crowd-
Ing OF dwelling house and tenement
rooms are enforced.
ANY attempt OF various nationali-
ties TO coneregate in crowded sections
Is discouraged The building of one

SEATTLE, Wash, June S.-The
japanese flag that has been flying
over the Jinrikisha concession on
