sumes its natural state. What will
relieve the burning sensation?
JESSIE.
A.: Practice walking with head
in the air, and sleep always with
out a pillow. This will prevent a
double chin and help one that is
not too large.
After being out in the sun, rub
a good cold cream into the skin
of the face, then wash off with te-
pid water. Before going out again
into the sun, dust the face with
talcum powder.

pected, according to the reports from
the general offices, that the present
wheat crop will tax the capacity of the
western railroads.
The 500 railroad will be hauling wheat
into Duluth this fall, and already pre-
parations are being made. All along
the 500 line throughout North Dakota,
reports indicate that there is an unus-
ually heavy yield of wheat. Much of
this wheat will find its way to the head
of the lakes. Cars of the 500 line are
being put in shape at the present time
to meet any calls that may be made up
on the freight traffic department of the
railroad.
Reports indicate that the lines of the
Great Northern and the Northern Paci-
fic will have an unusually heavy crop
throughout the country which they pen
citrate. Every preparation is being
made to handle this crop with as little
delay as possible. The blockade of 1907
is still fresh in the minds of railroad
traffic officials and the roads are plan
ming to move the promised big crop
this fall with as little delay as possible.

Suit Over Fees.

Bismarck, N. D., July 16.-Suit will
be brought in few days by Attorney
General Miller against w. L. Stockwell
and E. C. Cooper for the recovery of
fees and charges over which there is a
question as to whether they should ac-
crue to the state or the officials. The
Stockwell suit arises out of the legisla-
tive investigation last winter, and the
question is as to the disposition of the
fees permitted to be charged for the
issuance of teachers certificates. The
amount of the fees in question was
stated by the investigating committee
to be in the neighborhood Of 5000, and
their collection covers number of
years.. Mr.. Stock we'll claimed that un-
der his Interpretation of the law the
fees accrued to the state superintend-
ent of schools. The suit against the
commissioner of insurance involves the
payment of some hundreds of dollars
out of the fees and charges collected
from the insurance companies for taxes
for exchange on checks and drafts.
The papers in the suits, it is understood,
will be filed this week or early next
week.

M'GAHAN GIVES
HIS REASONS
For Resisning as Register OF the U. S.
Land Office at Minot and in Doing So
Tells Some Truths and threatens
More That Will Open the
Eyes OF Some.

Taking umbrance at what he terms
"a malicious lie" published in the Far
60 Forum anent his resignation of the
Office of register of the U. S. land Of
flee at Minot, Hon. L. D. McGahan
makes plain his position and the causes
leading up to his resignation in the fol-
lowing communication to the Fargo pa
per.
Editor Forum: In your paper for
Friday, July 16, you for the second time
refer to me as being under fire." and
charged with favoritism by the depart
ment of the interior. This / brand as
a malicious lie sent out from Washing
ton for the sole purpose of injuring me
before the people of the state. l ehal-
lenge you, the department or the con-
gressional delegation at Washington to
show wherein / am under fire or charg-
ed with misconduct in the office. If
there are parties in Washington who
are anxious to place me under cloud
because they cannot dictate INV official
or personal affairs am ready to pre-
sent facts and conditions to the public
that will compel few politicians to sit
up and take notice. am able to take
care of myself either in newspaper
controversy or on the public platform.
l resigned for the reason that I care
more for my rights to free speech than
l do for federal position. No man
can hold an appointive position under
the recommendation of United States
senators from North Dakota unless he
wears their collar and dances to the
music they compose for him and which
has dictated the Republican party
in til S state for over twenty
years. When he refuses he is then sub
jected to persecution and villifeation.
The Forum editor is a federal office
holder and in publishing the statements
it has about me has simply responded
to jerk of the chain attached to it's
collar. / repeat that am not under
fire and that / have not been charged
with favoritism in my official position,
but looming events cast their shadow
before" and if such charges should be
made I can enlighten the public on how
patronage in federal positions is distri-
buted as we'll as few other interesting
features in connection with holding fed
eral positions and their relations to the
people:

years, is going to build q railroad be-
tween HarlnRen and San ANTONIO, a
distance Of about 200 miles. Mr.. Hill
says that he will build the road. He
aanas never failed thus far to accomplish
Swhat he sets out to do since his rise to
wealth began. It is too big aproposition
for him to handle unaided, and he has
obtained the financial assistance of st.

His high business standing was shown
by the voluntary offer Of large land and
bonuses which he received from ranch
men and the pe ople of the towns along
{, the route Of the proposed road as soon

promoting the project.
Mr.. Hill is doing great things for the
