Minot, July 13.-L. ID. McGahan,
register OF the United States landoff1ce
in this city, mas voluntarily rendered
HIS resignation to the department at
Washington, his resignation having
been forwarded to Senator McCumber,
and is to become effective as soon as
accepted by the department Com
missioner bennett is now in North
Dakota, and as Mr. McGahan urges
an early acceptance of the resignation
the matter will no doubt be arranged
within short time.
Mr.. McGahan has been opposed to
any national measure that congress
might enact that would increase the
tariff, and because his decisive stand

1t would be fair to the two senators
now representing North Dakota at
washington that his opinion should in
any way be permitted to embarrass
the North Dakota members in the
stand they might take and his resig-
nation followed in order to give him
the opportunity to exercise mis- own
privileges in that respect.
