WINS FIRST HEAT

DR.. Moody's team m a d e
things quite lively around First
Street last Sunday. Both of
the horses started running
away and kicking at the same
time. Doc stayed with them.
Finally the bits on the off
horse broke into, this left Doc
with only one line which he
used to good advantage. By
putting all his strength on the
one line he managed to land
the team against the hitching
posts in front of Miksche's
store. After several posts were
broke and things tore up gen.
orally and horses and buggy
were piled up in a pile with
Doc on top still smoking his

When President Meets

Mexicans have treated them
we'll, and Diaz himself is
credited with being stock
holder in many American en-.
terprisss, that he became inter
ested in while out of office.
Though Americans soon
learn to adopt many Mexican
ways, and take readily to the
siesta, moonlight walks on the
plazas and even learn to "play
bear" or court as in their adopt
ed country it must be confessed
that many things seem too odd
to northerners. For instance,
the great mountain of Popocat-
apetl is for sale. This seems
hardly a plaything. but it
stands ready for speculatiors
who care to delve into it's in
terror to extract the sulphur
whose fumes are distinguish
able a long way off. There is
no rush for volcanoes. aud 80
this worlds beauty seems to 20
abegging, but there seems
nothing incongruous to the
Mexicans in offering this mag
nificent phase of nature for
sale.
Another wonder is a town
which is selling in pieces.
Gunajuato has for years been
the largest silver camp linn
Mexico. Everyone knew that
immense quantities of ore were
lost in using the old patio re
duction process, but everyone
seem contented until Ameri-
cans came in with new process
ses. Then people began to
wonder what had become of
the gold and silver that was
lost in the old process. Even
the "manana loving" Mexicans
began to investigate. They
knew that for centuries they
had been making their adobe
huts out of the refuse and they
decided that they might have
some value. So the sleeping
inhabitants awoke and the
poorer class discovered that bv
selling their adobe huts by the
ton enough gold could be ex-
tracted to make the homes val
liable than those of the better
class who lived on hill and
who built their houses of vari-
colored sandstone. So Guiana
juato became a gold brick town
and the sleepy, antediluvian
village began to tear down it's
already tumbling huts and to
sell them by the ton.
Gold has never been dis
covered in Mexico as in Cali
fornia, but no country can
compare with it in silver. In
Sonora was found the largest
piece of virgin silver in the
world. 1t weighed nearly 5000
and Spain eagerly claimed it.
The old mines at Guanajuato,
Zacatecas and Pachuca have
continued the same for more
than a century and in $50 years
Mexico has produced one-third
of the silver of the world.
With modern machinery new
mines have been discovered
and old ones reopened.
A hundred years ago Mexi-
can introduced what is known
as the patio process. The
amalgam is thrown on floor
in a court, treated with quick
silver and water and troddcn
by mnles who walk around in
circle. This precipitates the
ore, but the animals feet are
so badly eaten that they some.
times die from the effects. Ma
chinery invented to do the
same work has not been a sue
cess and Americans have hast

SPEECH OF SEN
ATOR MCCUMBER
Senator McCumber's Speech
Blazing the Trail" at the
James j. Hill Banquet.

O0m00 " I'LL O0uu u0ts
Mr.. Chairman, Our Honored
Guest and Members of the
Commercial Club:
Today. in one of the most
promising sections of tn e
world. surrounded by unmis-
taxable evidences of progress
sive wealth on every hand, and
with an almost boundless field
of future hope. we are to apt to
lose sight Of the years of anxi-
Gus toll, of mental and physical
labors, of deferred hopes and
disappointments that preceded
and we're the foundation stones
upon which has been reared,
this magnificent edifice of in
dustrial and commercial great
ness represented by the states
of North aud South Dakota,
Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and
Washington, these six great
empires which have been built
up by the greatest of all the
continental lines and it's feed
ers, the Great Northern Rail-
way system.
At the very beginning of the
last century, Lewis and Clarke
blazed a trail from the far
off eastern settlements over
prairie, plain and mountain
and down the westward flow
ing streams. The report of their
famous discoveries gave to the
world only a distant wonder
land beyond a sea of arid waste
and sandy plain; wonderland
of rugged mountain and NIGH
ty river; a realm where rowing
fancies might freely fly on
painted wings, but too remote
to ever challenge serious con-
sideration for utility; a kind of
garden of the gods never to be
desecrated by human habita-
ton.
In three quarters of a century
thereafter, another trail was
blazed from the Mississippi to
the Pacific, a trail marked by
shining rails of steel, a trail
that opened up this western
wonderland to the explorations
of the world and over which to-
day it pours it's treasures into
the lap of the world-treasures
of mine and forest, of gold and
silver, of copper and lead, of
lumber and fruit and cereals
treasures outrivaling in their
greatness the widest dreams
of the El Dorado of olden days
treasures which have chang.
ed the indurtrial, commercial
and financial currents of the
whole world.
Observing the gradual ex-
tention of these trans-continen-
tai lines westward from the
Mississippi Valley, we areprone
to think of them as growing as
easily and as naturally as the
pine which pushes it's crown
toward the skies. and 80 forget
ting, we fail in the spirit of
gratefulness which should be
the just tribute for all great
blessings, for every joy of the
present comes only as gift
earned by the labors of the
past. Comforts are the chill
dren of hardships, and pleas
ures the offspring of pain.
The history of this great
trans.continental railroad is a
history of unremitting toll and
endeavor. Again and again
did enterprise, ardent n d
hopeful, lead timid and talter-
ing capital to the eastern Dor.
ders of the lands of the Dako-
tas, and pointing across the
many miles of seeming waste
to the forests and mines of the
Rockies, seek to lure her to
join him in spanning t h t

LOUD RUMBLINGS
OF DISBARMENT
REPORTED AT MEETING OF THE
cAss COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION
THAT COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN
MADE AGAINST ATTY. A. C.
LAcY-coMMITTEE APPOINTED.

At an open meeting Of the Cass
County Bar association held this morn
ing in the district court room of the
county courthouse, the name of Atty.
A. c. Lacy was officially connected
with rumors of disbarment complaints.
The matter came up when motion
was made for the naming of committee
TO hear complaints of any nature that
might be made against any members
of the association.
The chair called for the name of the
member referred to and the secretary
stated A. G. Lacy.
A permanent committee, consisting
of the president vice president and
secretary will in the future hear any
complaints that are to be made. 1t is
understood that immediate action will
be taken in the Lacy matter.
Rumors of this nature have been in
for some time. When seen
following the last meeting of the as
sociation, Attorney Lacy stated that he
considered 1t a matter of spite, en-
tirely. He apparently gave the SUBJ
ject little thought. He is at present
a term Of court at Washburn
N. D., and will not be in the CITY. for
several days, unless the present affair
brings him here.
Members of the association refused
to discuss the matter following the
this morning, further than the
developments at the session.

Elliott, naming Ernest r. Orchard to

man.
