4 REAL "PARADICE"
 FOR FISHERMEN
sDad's Place. is Proving Popular With the Railroad Boys as q Fish ing Resort->-What One Party Caught.

Bagwell Lake, Arkansas, is a much overlooked paradise, says Conductor Bob Ambrose and Engineer Billie Williamson, who claim medals as fishermen.
 On one trip, lasting six days last week, their total catch was 36o hne bass weighing from one and ha't to five pounds. These two sportsmer claim the spells, but the informant and those acquainted with Mrs. Am brose's (who was one of the party) qualifications as fisherwoman, know where to give the credit
 This lake is situated ten miles east of Paragould, Ark, and is upon the "A. T. Hartsoe place, better known IS s'Dad's Place. and as an all around good fellow, he can't be beat for con- pany accommodations and furnishing everything you require on fishing trip. ME"
 He is all that could be asked. They do say all that is necessary to take with you is your personal packages,
 All we hear now, is go 10 Dad $ Place" for the only fishing. We also understand there were a few sky rockets fired during one of the ev- enings of their visit, but were aimed too high to carry out their purpose Ask the fishermen. They may ex- plain.
 Billie says the lake was half full of water and the balance fish.

The First National Bank of

Last Monday afternoon the new
officials of Adams county took the
places Of the old regime appoint
ed by Gov. Burke. Auditor Hurd
a one of the old personnel will
h Id his Office for a few months
yet, his term of auditor not ex-
piring until three months after
the other officials have been seat
ed, Take it all in all, Adams
county was singularly fortunate
in getting for it's first set of offic-
ers men who as a whole were
splendidly fitted for their duties.
Mistakes were made could net
be avoided-but these were mis-
takes Of the head and not of the
heart. On the whole the difficult
and trying work of creating an
ordered community out of nothing
has been accomplished, and as
these men leave their posts for
others, they have the assurance
that their successors will find the
work well begun. The efforts of
Auditor Hurd, Treasurer Sever
son, School Supt. Davis and Re-
gister of Deeds Jacobson are es-
pecially deserving of praise.
We beg to bear our bit of praise
and appreciation to the outgoing
county commissioners of Adams
county. and especially to the three
gentlemen who were originally
appointed by the governor, Messrs.
Jackson, Lennon and Beisigl, all
of them ranchers, did splendid
service for the development of
the country as we'll as keeping
watch over the county economics.
No honyak board bould have done
better.
Edmund Ward was made chair
man of the new board of county
commissioners Of Adams county
an honor we'll befitting. There 8
no doubt left but that the first
district will henceforth be repre-
sented.
By action Of the county COM
missioners the name of Prairie
township was changed to North
Lehman township. and that of
Missouri township to Orange.
Tae next issue of the State
Line Herald will, we hope, pre-
sent as part of the proceedings of
the last meeting Of the outgoing
board of county commissioners of
Adams county a thorough review
and report of Auditor Hurd. This
is an interesting document, which
will bear scrutiny on the part of

Oh the ElQOradO OF the DakOtaS
j. e. the Lennon land district,
which failed to give the name and
location Of the thriving village at
the west end of the county. We
suggest to the good Reeder people
that they now retaliate by having
a map of their own in which
Reeder figures as the hub of the
universe, with all roads leading
to it-and incidently forgetting
to put that insignificant mite of
a village, Hettinger, on the map
We confess that we too are horri-
bly, shocked at the bigotry of that
man Hurd, for he failed also to
pit our thriving metropolis of
North Lennon on the map.
In view of the fact that of late
mishaps caused by unprotected
wells have been altogether too
frequent, it were we'll that sett-
lers impressed upon themselves
their responsibility. The North
Dakota law provides that wells
and mines on being abandoned or
exposed. must be filled up or cov-
cred with plank two inches or
more in thickness-a proviso that
clearly makes the offending party
liable for damage sustained by
another. Moreover, the same law
makes it the duty of duty of road
supervisors to close any wells left
uncovered, upon receiving order
to that effect from the supervis-
ors Of the county. Any expenses
incurred in thus Safeguarding the
public are to be charged against
the property and made collectible
along with taxes. Parties know
ing of such death traps near them
will do their community a great
favor by a prompt protest to the
Authorities, who ex officio :re
then forced to act. These open
wells are in nearly all cases the
relic of speculative commutants,
who have made proof and then
pell-mell left the country to shi t
for itself. Such people need the
lesson brought home to them.
The legislature will this session
have to wrestle with the problem
of redistricting the state so as to
give the people of the newly or
ganized counties of the south
western part of the state that
representation to which they are
e entitled. The last two years have
seen an empire populated where
before that cowboy and sheep
herder led their lonely existence.
The champions Of the western
part OF the state, with able Sen
ator Simpson at the head will not
any longer allow the eastern part
of the state to hold undisputed
sway by reason of undue promi-
nence in the Legislature, A re-
districting must be brought abou+,
and Adams, Bowman, Hettinger,
Dunn. and Mckenzie be granted
deserved voice. The plan of
Senator Simpson, to unite Adams
and Hettinger counties as one
district meets with general ap-
proval The two counter have
much in common and will no
doubt be willing to work togeth-
ers in harmony. Other points of
the scheme of redistricting are to
make new district of Billings
and Bowman, a second Of Dunn
and Mckenzie and a third of Mer-
Ger and Oliver.
The congregational people are
planning to dedicate their churches
at Hettinger, Reeder and Bow
man early in February with ap-
propriate ceremoniell.
And now even the Marmarth
Mail has reached it's first mile
stone of time, and is full fedg-
ed yearling. We are indeed get
ting to be a time ripened commu-
nifty.

ALL's WELL THAT ENDS WELL
Cupid Finds a Way to Overcome Sc
rious Obstacle.

Love may laugh at locksmiths. but the
absence of a marriage license on the
happy day is serious. 1t was the neglect
of this necessary detail to the ceremony
that caused many moments of anxiety
for William l.. Powell of Danylle. Va.
and Miss Juliette Kendall of this city
yesterday afternoon, when they sought
the happy termination of their romance
expecting to get married and live happy
ever after
When Mr.. Powell and his intended bride
arrived at the courthouse yesterday for
the license they found the doors closed
and boited. Mr.. Powell raped impa-
tiently. but received no response. For a
moment it looked gloomy. Being re-
sourceful he turned his energies III an
other direction. He looked up his friend
George w. Drew With Mr.. Drew's aid As
sistant Clerk Hawken of the District Su-
preme Court was located and consented
to meet the couple at the city hall and
issue the necessary license.
Rev. J. B. Mclaughlin performed the
ceremony. Following wedding feast al
the Raleigh Hotel the bride and groom
left Washington the Norfolk boat for

BEYOND THE EXECUTIVE POWER
TRADE AGREEMENT WITH
FRANCE CANNOT BE EXTENDED
Published Statement Of Negotiations
Opened Presupposes Misunder-
standing of Tariff Act.

The published statement that the French
government had opened negotiations with
Washinton for an extension of the pres
ent commercial arrangement between the
two countries until some time next year
presupposes misunderstanding on the
part Of France of the authority of the
President of the United States to enter
tain a proposition of that character.
Under the terms Of the new tariff act
the present rates are to continue in force
until March 81, 1910. when it's ma aximum
provisions automatically go into operation
and are made to apply to all nations alike,
except in the cases of countries which give
to the United States the benefits of its
minimum rates. In such cases the Pres-
dent Is authorized and directed to allow
to such designated countries the benefits
Of the minimum rates.
Acting under the terms of the new act
the President. has already given notice to
all countries which have had reciprocal
agreements with the United States of the
date when such arrangements would be
and Bulgaria being October 81, 1909. These
provisions are made mandatory, and at
the State Department 1t is declared that ii
is not within the power Of the President
of the United States, or any authority
other than that of Congress itself, to
change 1t in any particular. The efforts
of the French government, therefore, to
secure an extension Of the present ar
rangement beyond October 81, 1900, must
necessarily be futile, according to the
State Department officials.
