HELLSTROM
At PEN MEET
UNLESS EFFORTS ARE MADE TO
REFORM CONVlCTs, DECLARES
N. .. OFFICIAL AT SEATTLE, A
GREATER CRIME IS COMMITTED
AGAINST SOCIETY,".

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 17.-'f a man
be convicted of a crime and serve a
term in prison and no steps are taken
to effect his reform or cure, greater
crime against society has been COM
mitted than the crime of the indi-
vidual," said F. o. Hellstrom, warden
of the North Dakota penitentiary, in
his address at today's session of the
American Prison association.
ANY prison management that for
gets moral ethics, justice and human
ity cannot justify the right to exist
ence," continued the speaker.
"A prison that is managed and DOM
mated by spirit of revenge is simp-
Iva barnacle that society must re-
move in order to facilitate human pro-
gress.
When the inmates character is up
lifted, the duty Of the prison man
agement has in that measure been dis
charged, the shackles of crime have
been removed from the mind of the
inmate and there has been added to
the society useful member If a
man discharged goes forth with Bit
ter hatred and vengence in his heart,
against society, then both are to be
pited, for the storm will surely break
and some innocent person will be
made the victim

SUMMARY.

Bismarck, August Is, 1909.-Exces-
sive heat and foggy mornings in some
localities, and rain followed by heat
in others. have retarded harvesting
and had a bad effect on grain, more
especially on late sown grain. Har-
yesting is now general all over the
state and a bumper crop is yet in
Sight although general conditions are
distinctly less favorable than two
weeks ago. Dry. bright and cooler
weather is needed from now on, or
serious loss may yet ensue in some To-
calities.

MCLEAN COUNTY.

Washburn, August IA. 1909.-Fifty
per cent of cutting is done. Every
thing except fax is ready for the
harvester. Past week has been very
warm and three heavy showers have
delayed cutting considerably. Rain
has improved corn and late fax.
Wheat yield will be moderate. Acre
age about same as last year with not
iceable falling of in fax. Corn and
barley acreage is increased consider
ably.

lions OF the wheat are heard, which
includes black rust in localities, and
sprouting in others. Dry weather is
greatly needed for completing har-
yesting and threshing. An immense
amount of wild hay has been made
and will be cut from the prairies
where the growth Of grass is9very
heavy. =" n ~.
4 The threshing season promises. to
be long one. So far little damages
is reported Of Smelling or over ripe
grain, as there have been no heavy
winds during the harvest. The grain
ripened in most fields all at once.

SEEKS TO ESTOP THE
BUILDING OF A DAM
Milan Still Brings Suit Against
Water Power Co.
He Claims Riparian Rights on Rock
Creek Land Is Sub-Irrieated by
Annual Overflow Mater Power
Co. Seeks to Conserve Waters.

An important suit was started in the
superior court Wednesday morning when
Milan Still, whose home is on Rock
creek, near Revere, commenced action
against the Palouse Irrigation L Power
Co, a corporation, H. @. Peters and the
Netherlands American Mortgage Bank,
a corporation, to stop them from build
ing a dam in that portion OF Rock creek
lying above lands belonging to Still,
which would prevent the sub irrigation
enjoyed and prac tced by him for several
years To use, in brief, the words OF the
plaintiff:
That the said dam and Instructions
are OF such a nature and character as to
impound the waters of Rock creek In
Rock lake and divert them from the
valley Of Rock creek and to destroy the
food, overflow, irrigation and fertiliza-
tiOn of plaintiffs lands. Defendants are
asked to remove the dam and obstruction
in Rock creek and be perpetually eniOiaed
from interfering with the natural overhO '
OF said Rock creek.
Milan Still has been a resident of Rock
creek for many years, long before the
Palouse Water Power Co. came into
existence. He acquired his lands in part
by purchase from the Northern Pacific
and part by homestead entry. His land
along Rock creek is low-lying, subject
to overflow, and he has built canals
and bitches so that the surplus water
Of early spring may reach every part
under cultivation, acting as a sub-irri
cation agent and doing away with the
necessity for irrigation for the rest OF
the season. This particularly applies
to alfalfa.
The object of the Palouse Water Co. in
building a dam at or near the head OF
Rock creek is to store the waters in the
lake during the freshet season, which, of
course, would break up the sub-irrigation
a rangements Of Still and other settlers
along the creek who realize big crops
from their land by reason Of this annual

MUNICIPAL CONTROL
INFECTIOUS DISEASES
Address Read Before Whitman
County Medical Society.
At Garfield, November IS, by DR.. w.
B. Pala m ountain, President of the
Society - Explains Workings of
System lnaugurated in Coifax.

At the meeting OF the Whitman Coun
ty Medical Society at Garfield Monday
the president Of the society, DR.. W. B.
PalamOuntain Of COlfax, read an inter
esting paper on " The Municipal Control
OF Infectious Diseases" from which we
excerpt literally, regretting our inability
to present the paper in full 1t deals
with subject of paramount Importance
to all classes Of citizaps in every part OF
the state, and the suggestions offered
should be carefully considered. Says DIR.
Palamountain in part:
Since men first assembled in cOmmuni
ties, towns and cities, epidemics of in
fictitious diseases have been the price for
comradeship. Plague, yellow fever,
cholera, smallpox, typhus, typhoid,
diphtheria, scarlet fever and tuberculosis
and other infections have taken their
tens of thousands, and will take until
the problem Of their prevention has been
thoroughly solved.
In the city of Colfax, having a popula-
tion OF 5000, in which have been health
officer for the past four and half years,
| have investigated and quarantined
since June, 1907, period of little over
two years, $50 cases of diphtheria, and
during the past IA months 105 cases of
diphtheria and 25 cases Of scarlatina,
and this in spite OF active and thorough
work under the system as generally
employed. In no case can | attribute q
single injection to fomites, and while
have not discovered the disseminators
OF the infection in every case, am GER
tain fomites played no part. | have
been in over 100 diphtheria houses dur
ing the past two years, and in no in
another nor to my own family. | am
certain this epidemic has occurred from
personal contact of the we'll with the
sick, and know of many cases concealed
because OF ignorance, selfishness and bad
citizenship. However, for want of better
explanation in some cases, and in the
absence of further knowledge, we are
compelled to use the fomites theory as a
working basis for the prevention of
spread of such diseases as scarlet fever
and smallpox.
Fumie alton.
Following isolation comes cleaning,
and our present methods Of fumigation
are simply a development of the old
method OF cleaning the premises Of the
sick. There are two great natural and
effective fumigators, heat, wet and dry,
and sunlight; all others are subsidiary.
Could all injected materials be burned,
boiled or steamed the question OF fumi
CATION would not exist. Articles not
amen able to this class of treatment give
reason for the great number OF fumiga-

BANK HOLDERS MUST PAY.
Aftermath of PaIouse State Bank :
Judge Garfield Issues Order.

The tangle of the defunct Palouee
State Bank will probably never be fully
untangled but ray Of light was centered
on the institution last Friday when
Judge Garfield issued an order directing
{. W. Waters. receiver Of the bank, to
make a demand upon the stockholders
for the amount OF their liability to satisfy
the claims of creditors. To use the
exact words of the court:
The court finds that the liabilities of
said bank greatly exceed the assets
thereof, and that in order to pay the
liabilities thereof it ia necessary that each
stock holder of said bank liable therefor
pay in cash to the said receiver the
amount of his stock therein at the par
value thereof, in addition to the amount
invested in said shares.
1t is therefore ordered and decreed that
each stockholder of said bank liable
therefor shall pay to the receiver thereof,
in cash, the amount of his stock in said
bank at it's par value, in addition to the
amount invested therein and the said
receiver is hereby directed to collect from
said stockholders the amount of their
liability so fixed and the said receiver is
hereby authorized and empowered to
enforce the collection OF said amount in
such manner as he may deem proper,
consistent with the laws of this state.
