MAKING HOMES ON the DESERT
Women from the East Find Many
CompenSations for Loss
of LuxurieS

Out on the Western desert, where
by means of irrigation the United
States Government is retaining
millions of acres of arid land, many
women of culture aud refinement
are making homes in the best sense
Of the word. Here we really live,
says Constance Adams in The New
Idea Woman's Magazine for July,
and each day brings new and inter-
esting experiences, almost any one
of which would be a thrilling adj
venture to the feminine relatives
left in the East, for few of Us are
native born in this great land of
promise where we have elected to
set up our lares and penates.
Perhaps to some of us, as we
looked from the train windows,
this desert, which was to be home,
seemed like the sun-blistered, sand
blasted, fag-end of nowhere, and
there was wistful yearning for
the tlesh-pots of Egypt" that
seemed then to be only attainable
in New York and Chicago and
Washington and Boston and the
other cities that have given us birth.
But there is much work to be done
and no time for vain regrets, and
even before the temporary structure
is completed that is to shelter US
until VIC can build a truly house,
we realize that here in the West is
the greatest of all blessings-health
for ourselves and our children, and
we are glad we came.
! The air is fresh and bracing or
gentle and submissive. True, there
are times when the wind blows hard
and lifts the desert soil that blow
eth where it listeth," and perhaps
the little shack is not we'll built and
the gray dust settles everywhere,
but it is so at the homes of all of
our neighbors and we know that be.
fore long we will have seeds plant
ed and water turned on the thirsty
land, and with water and the won
derful desert sun that shines so

Fargo, June 22.-In the case of the
State of North Dakota, seeking to
enforce the coal rate law. the O. S.
supreme court has granted writ of
supersedes and error and the old rates
will remain effective till the final de-
termination of the case.
The railroads announced an appeal
to the U. S. supreme court and asked
writ of supersedes and error, which
was denied by state court and the
new rates were ordered enforced.
This phase was carried up to the o.
S. supreme court which decided IA
vorably to the roads.
If the attorney general makes re-
quest the case will be advanced on
the regular calander and 1t Is possible
to hear the matter in December. 1t

Miller, some weeks ago, requested
former Attorney General McCue to
continue In charge Of the case.
The decision Of the o. s. supreme
court is ! disappointment as many
were anticipating the advantages Of
the cheaper rates on Ignite.

ditor yesterday, when I paid him
the part of the bill that the city ap-
propriated. If these figures are not
correct, kindly let me know, as the
relatives wish to fully reimburse both
city and county. While financial aid
was not what was wanted, but ac-
tion-men to do somethlng-they ap-
preciate the kindly thoughts and en-
ergetic action. They wish me to ex-
press, as far as words can, their
thanks to the Board individually and
rs body.
Truly yours,

The funeral service was held at the
Methodist church, which was crowd
ed to its utmost capacity. Both the
main body of the church and the an

to pay their last respects to the dead,

ferred to as most exemplary and
admirable citizen, father, husband

THAT 'peN' INVESTIGATION

Grand Forks, N. D., June 22.-The
failure of the expert accountants who
made. the checkup of the records Of
the North Dakota penitentiary to
make a report, is given out by Cover
nor John Burke, who was in Grand
Forks the other day, as the reason
for the fact that no further action
has been taken in connection with
the investigation into the admins
tration of affairs at the penal insti-
tuition. The matter Of continuing
the probe and furthering prosecution
of those guilty of shortcomings in the
operation Of the penitentiary, If it is
found that there are any who have
been guilty of wrong doing, rests in
the hands of a committee composed
Of Governor Burke, Secretary of State
Alfred Blaisdell and State Auditor
D. K. Brightbill. .,.
''The report should have been
forthcoming long before this," said
Governor Burke in discussing the
question, "but for some reason we
have been unable to secure 1t. The
work of making an accounting Of the
institutions transactions during the
years in question has been a big one,
of course, and the report will doubt
less be a big one.
''Until the report of the account
ants has been received, the commit
tee, which was created by the legis-
lature, has nothing to work on, out
when the report is received, action
OF some nature will be decided upon."
