Gus Parts Of the State.
SWEPT BY A SEVERE STORM
Section Around Valley City Is
Badly Damaged.

The section around Valley City was
visited by destructive hailstorm.
The storm was freakish and travelled
In many directions. but appeared to
be from one big cloud formation.
The heaviest loss was south Of the
city, where the grain on strip from
two to four miles wide and extending
from Valley City to Katheryn, dis.
tance of over twenty miles, was pound
ed into the ground. In many places
the ice lay in drifts on the ground.
Screen windows were chopped to
pieces and the windows in many farm
houses broken.
There were also storms at Eckel-
son, Spiritwood and Wimbledon. It is
impossible to judge the extent of the
damage. but thousands of acres of
promising crops were damaged or ut
terly destroyed. The loss will run
into many thousands of dollars.
H. M. Ballou, while working on a
haystack, was struck by lightning and
lay sinsensible for an hour, his heart
ection having apparently been sus.
pended. He survived the shock, how
ever, and is fast recovering.

Work For All.


The National Liberal Immigration
league announces just at the time
when New York is crowded with un-
employed that there is work for all
waiting for hands. The Jobs are scat
tered over the country. and the
leagues president declares that the
national bureau of immigration at
Washington will furnish to every ono
Of the unemployed the names Of firms
needing help right now. In most
cases the unemployed lack means to-
travel to the waiting jobs.
1t is mainly GU account Of this glut
in the labor market In New York that
the immigration authorities are turn

borers who come in almost every ship.

and those Of their fellows fortunate
enough to have the price Of ticket in
land speedily find employment. As q
measure Of relief for all concerned the
Liberal Immigration league suggests
that the national government trans
port both the immigrant and the ma
tive laborers to the fields where they
will be welcome. A deadlock exists

The Revolt Against Tammany.

The Revolt Against Tammany.
The mayor Of New York city. like
the president of the United States and
the governors of some Of the states,
serves four years. This is the year he
is elected, and for that reason Tam
many and anti-Tammany politics are
bubbling. Notable happenings Of the
current campaign have been the for
nation of the committee of one hun
dred. the letter of Judge Gaynor scor-
ing Police Commissioners Bingham and
the dismissal Of Bingham in conse-
quence. the Gaynor boom for mayor.
the Roosevelt boom for mayor. which
was speedily nipped in the bud by
Colonel Roosevelt himself; the veto
Of the Tammany building code by
Mayor Mcclellan and the discussion
Of Mcclellan for reelection.
The committee Of one hundred is
generally regarded as the successor Of
the Citizens union and is expected to
furnish meeting point for the fusion
Of all anti-Tammany bodies. The can
didacy Of Justice Gaynor is peculiar
in that he has been discussed by both
sides. Early in the campaign he SEEM
ed the probable choice of the inde-
pendents. Later he was talked Of as
the Tammany candidate, and 1t is said
that the tender of the nomination has
formally been made to him. McCarren.
the Democratic boss of Brooklyn. has
opposed Gaynor and is believed to be
behind the suddenly launched boom
for a third term Of Mayor Mcclellan.
who has somewhat refurbished bad
ly frayed popularity by his recent dra-
matte veto Of the rotten building
code.
The element Of uncertainty in the
anti-Tammany camp is the Republican
organization, which seems bent on 81
straight nomination. If this attitude
is persisted in it practically assures
the success of the Tammany ticket
through the division of the opposition
forces. If, on the other hand, the Re-
publicans fuse with the committee of
one hundred and kindred bodies there
is fair chance of beating Tammany.
as the revolt against it among Demo
Gratis is unusually strong.

Cases.

cases.
North Dakota coal rates cases
against the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and 500 railroads have gone to
Unoted States supreme court for final
settlement. Appeals by railroads from
the decisions of the North Dakota
courts have been filed in the supreme
court in Washington to test the va
lidity of the North Dakota law Of
1907, under which coal rates were es-
tablished. Following the passage of
this law, three railroads continued to
charge the old rates on shipments. of
coal within the state. Attorney Gen
eral McCue brought suits against
them, alleging that tho old rates were
about 33A1! per cent higher than the
new legislative rates. The state won

The roads have insisted that the
North Dakota rates are Enthusiastically
low, much lower, in fact, than rates
prescribed by Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin. They carry the case to the Unit
ed States supreme court on the ground
that the state has no right to make
rates, and also that the new rates are
confiscatory.

Tho Dickens Pension Fund.

t}&t xQ4 OlCA0U0 40001V0 = OAsNAS
Z A recent act Of parliament bestows
small pension upon four grand
daughters Of Charles Dickens, the
novelist. Az v. have no civil pension
list, the incident meets with unfavor-
able criticism on this side Of the wa
ter, especially in view Of the fact that
Dickens earned a fortune BY his pen.
But this pension establishes no doubt-
ful precedent. Literary pensions are
common 10 Europe. Dickens himself
would have been allowed a sum equal
to IL not greater than that bestowed
on his descendants had he come to
need. e
Dickens was literally rewarded BY
his admirers in both continents while
he lived. The output Of his pen print

copyright returns. But he. read from
his works here with . profit Of $780,

about square. Certain French au-
fhors are asking that literary copy
right be perpetual and 50 with the

Vacation Hustle.

1t may be that the foreign tour Is
responsible for the American idea Of
utilizing vacation time. With three
weeks on the ocean and only three to
FIVE left for covering the whole conu-
nent. 1t became question Of figuring
on how much the tourist could take In.
1t was enjoyable. Of course-a great
change and revelation. Seeing Amer
lea, even by sections. or special parts
Of 1t, as the mountains. the coast and
the forest. is accomplished 10 much
the same way. 1t is flying tour and
takes in striking pictures which re-
main and seem to repay the effort.
After a few trips Of this kind the
mind Is seldom content with humdrum
or mere rest, the philosophers idea Of
vacation.
Even when counting simple life In a
woodland camp the American young
man and young woman want to crowd
every hour with strenuousness. There
Is so much to do. A time table is pre-
pared beforehand quite as exactng
and arbitrary as that Of the foreign
tour manager. Perhaps this is all
right. Unless the doctor prescribes
rest change may do the trick for the
tired and dyspeptic and misanthropic
slave Of the desk, the bench and the
counter. From treadmill to the hustle
Of sightseeing travel is change; from
city crowd to the country isolation is
change; from country loneliness to
the crowded pathway Of travel is
change; to hear the bell call to duty
and not "care whether school keeps
or not' is change. Two good things
come from the hustling vacation trip
knowledge Of how other people live
and memories Of the earth's great
ness, beauty and bounty.

The conclusion to be drawn from the
report Of New Orleans health expert
on sanitary conditions in Cuba as he
found them on q recent trip is of in
terest to every American community.
He declares the sanitary conditions in

pestilential district, to be superior to
those of many Of our own cities both
north and south. In Havana. for in

or driveways. no cisterns, garbage

mosquitoes and no screens necessary.
The cleaning up of Cuban cities, like
that of the canal zone, has been done
under a centralized and arbitrary pow

nifty had everything to gain and moth
ing to lose in yielding to arbitrary rule.
