of whom was Frank A. Love Of this
city. Love is one OF our letter car

out to register at the reservations.
His number is 5097 and may or may
not be valuable. This depends upon
how many who have drawn lower

Midland Continental Tied Up Near
Jamestown On Account 81 Fancy
!, Prices Asked for Land fos Right
? oEWay - stockholders Pleased
With General Outlook of Prospects

jamestown, May 19.-Active con-
struction work on the Midland Con-
tinental railroad is being delayed at
present on account of one or two
land owners in this immediate vicin-
ity who have placed fancy prices on
the land that will be used for right
of-way purposes and as it Is neces-
sary for the railway company to have
complete title to all of the right-of-
way before any active work can be
started, it will be necessary to take
the cases into court for condemna-
ton proceedings. 1t is understood
that one of the parties is holding
out for an unusually large sum and
the matter will in all probability be
determined by board of arbitration,
which may be named by the court.
With the exception of two and
three quarter miles of right-of-way
still open in Stutsman county all of
the balance of the land needed for
road purposes is now under contract
for which the price has been agreed
upon. In La Moure county there are
six and one-half miles of right-of-way
still open and it is expected that this
will be materially reduced within the
next few days.
No construction work can be start
ed until all of the land needed for a
right-of-way is secured. If the mat
ter is taken into the courts for set
Element it will mean that construc-
ton work will be delayed for period
of 80 days or longer and it Is to the
interests of the land owners in Ques-
ton to settle the matter with the
railroad company as soon as possible.

nor, lady capitalist of Rock, ILL.,,

pose of seeing for herself the pro-
posed route, with which she was well
pleased.

Fargo, May 19.-That nothing but

that the little towns which have
sprung up during the past few years
are destined to be commercial cent
ers-this is the prediction of United

returned from an extended trip In
that section. The marshal said, con-
corning the trip:
81 left Bismarck on May Is with a
very urgent invitation to gentle
man at Bucyrus to come to Fargo
and be a guest of the government
for a few days. I arrived at Richard

m. in an auto. When we got about
twenty-five miles from Richardton
our auto quit and refused to turn a
wheel, we were then about fifteen
miles north of Mott. I walked three
miles and hired Russian with a
pair of bronchos to drive me to Mott,
the little white city on the banks of
the Cannon Ball river. Mott has a
fine hotel and the guests are we'll

1T has good court house, two
flowing wells of good water, three
good churches, several fine stores,
lumber yards, etc. There is no better
set of county officers in any county
in the state than the officers who pre-
side over the destines of this beauti-
full new county of Hettinger of which
Mott is the county seat. The officers
are all very young men, are bright
honest and capable, with always an
eye to business for the best interests
of the county.
"Our oid-time friend Wellington

'"Grading is in full blast on the

and they will have train service be-
fore snow flies next fall. I predict q

surely Mott is the spot.
II took an auto from Mott to Het-
finger, the county seat Of Adams
county, : splendid little town on the
Milwaukee road, has grown very rap

eminent. tr9

Washington, May. 19.eTne following
statement relative to the disposition
of coal lands in North Dakota and
other states under the operation Of
the law passed in the closing days OF
the last session of congress, has been
given out at the interior department:
The interior department is much in

Of entrymen.
Tits act was passed with view Of
affording relief to agricultural entry

ion the land contained no coal to Ap-
ply for a hearing to determine the
facts In the case.
While it is, Of course, too early to
secure any definite Information as to
which course such homesteaders will

:"bug-hunters.'' The appe1ation is
more fitting than If applied to that
innumerable class Of specialists With
hobbies as we call them. Mr.. Chest
erton maintains that it Is jolly to
have a human and rational amount
Of money, just as it is jolly to have
a dog or a wife or a door knocker;
but these things are possessed only
in so far as they can be conceived
and employed. II a man had five
million dogs, they would really be
wild dogs: they would be as indie
pendent of him as the gnats in sum
mer. If a man had five million wives
he would not have even the discipline
and decency of a harem. If a man
had five million knockers, they
would not be Knockers, because they
would never knock. And if a man
set to work to collect this number of
knockers or dogs or anything else,
we should call him simply cracked;
the same term applies as we'll to any
man who seeks a penny more than
he can md impulsive pleasure in
spending. And there are. beyond a
doubt, thousands of men in all coun-
tries, but especially in France, Ger
many, England and America who. do,
desire something beyond satisfaction.
They soberly pray to the gods for
great fortune and not merely for
good fortune.

FREE HIDES.

Inc ST. Louis GlODe-DemOcrat,
which is a sterling republican paper.
and one that supports the claims of
the producer to adequate pratiction,
does not think the tariff on hides is
of benefit to the Cattle raiser, and
does think that the packer, who
buys the hide with the beef, gets
the benefit. OF recent developments
concerning the hide tariff the Globe
Democrat says:
The country has large interest in
the report that the leather men and
the shoe manufacturers will go into
the packing business If the packers
induce congress to keep the duty on
hides. The duty, which is Is per
cent, was removed in the Payne bill
as it passed the house. In the fin
ance committees reshaping of the
bill before it was presented to the
senate the duty was replaced.
Around this particular provision of
the bill some hard fights will be
waged in the senate and in the con-
ference committee.
Contrary to the general belief the
hide duty benefits the meat packers
solely. 1t adds nothing of any con-
sequence to the price which the cat
tie raisers receive from the packers.
Many of the sole leather concerns of
the country are controlled by the
packers, or connected with them by
tanning contracts. But the United
States Leather company, which Is the
largest sole leather tanning concern
in the world, is not only not affiliated
with the packers in any way, but is
fighting them on this Question of
duty and other things. It's capital
is $125, 100000, and it produces GO per
cent. of the dry hemlock sole leather
of the country,
The report, therefore, that this big
aggregation of capitalists will go into
the packing business itself unless it
gets free hides, as the Payne, bill
originally provided, will attract the
country's attention. Aiding 1t, &C.
cording to rumor, will be many of
the most prominent shoe manufact-
urers Of the country. These two big
interests can make hard fight. On
their side are large majority Of the
people, for free hides mean cheaper
and better shoes. AS the leather com:
pany says free hides are necessary
to it's existence, 1t may be relied on
to use all legitimate influence which
is at its command in the contest to
take hides OF the dutiable list. The
United States is rapidly becoming the
for the world The $780,
600 pairs of shoes which were export
ed by us in 1873 had expanded to
6, 500, 900 pairs in 1908, With free
hides the sales sof American shoes
at home and abroad would increase,
through the reduction in prices, and
the shoe factories Of the country
would employ more men, at better
wages.
