Do Not Break the Game Laws.

SS, r. Findley of Harvey state
Game Warden for this district was
in the city Wednesday,, pasting
warnings to hunters and getting
acquainted with the people who
are interested in the enforcement
of the game law.
Mr.. Findly informed us that the
Game and Fish Board of control
and the wardens are determined
to enforce the game law this year.
There are eight wardens in the
state at the present time and a
great number of additional
wardens will be put on in August.
Under the new law and the
present system of administration
it will be very didicicult for
violators to escape detection.

WASHBURN WINS
A GOOD GAME
Underwood Lost Their First Game
to Washburn In 3 Years

Can Washburn play an uphill
game? The score stood 3 to l in
favor of Underwood at the begin
ming of the ninth inning last Sun
day and at the close 4 to 8 in favor
of Washburn. Underwood has
been somewhat of hoodoo to
Washburn in base ball for yea rs
but the spell is broken, and if you
wish to get correct impression of
an Underwood base ball en-
thusiast's face, look at the front
page Of the Bismarck Tribune of
June 9.
The game was good exhibition
of the national pastime. Though
marred at times with some costly
errors, it was replete witlisbrilliant
plays-at times of the sensational
order. Tauer's strike out record
was broken-That is, for low mark,
and while the safe hits laid by
were few the boys hit him hard.
At least the great awe in which
that excellent young man has
stood in Washburn base ball
circles, has vanished like the morn
ing vapors.
From the side lines it was a
pleasant game to look at. No de-
lay caused by injury to players or
unnecessary rag chewing" It
was one Of the quickest games
played on the local diamond. It
was 80 peacable, too, that very few
suggested the customary ex-
tinguishing dose for his Honor,

Is CENT MINIMUM
RATE FOR STATE
Two Railroads VIII Comply Witt
the Order Of the Commission

The Great Northern and North
ern Pacific have put into effect the
25 cent minimum freight rate, the
same as the 500 line has always
had, and instead Of the 100 pound
minimum rate which has hereto.
fore been in force.
This change in tariff is the out
growth of hearing before the
railroad commission, instigated by
the. Fargo commercial club and
held in the commercial club rooms
there on March 10. At the meet
/: ing it was shown, evidently, to the
satisfaction Of the railroad com
mission, that the 1O0-pound mini
. mum rate was a discrimination
against the shippers Of the state'
Minnesota had the, 25 cent mini
mum rate for number Of years,
much to the benefit Of the Mime
sofa jobbers.
At the meeting several peculiar
things were brought. out in regard
to the old system of lW-pound
minimum. One Of these was that
two packages weighing less than
100 pounds were shipped from
Fargo, one to Bismarck and one
to Underwood. Both left here
over the Northern Pacific, the one
going direct to Bismarck and the
other first going there and then
being transferred to the 500 rail
road and taken to Underwood. The
package to Bismarck, the less dis
tance would cost approximately IS
cents, while the one going to I'm
derwood would only cost 25 cents.
This for the reason that the 500
line has always had the 25-cent
minimum rate within the state.
This change makes it possible
to ship packages weighing less
than 100 pounds for q cents and
will be a great benefit to the ship
pers of the entire state.

Work Progresses in Oliver Co.

The branch line being built by
the Northern Pacific north o1
Mandan with its terminus al
Stanton, is causing considerable
talk at present by the different
land owners along the line. Some
Of the old towns in Oliver county
which have a fair start will not be
made stopping places but new
towns will be located few miles
from them.
Chas Aldrin has sold ID acres
of his land on the Fort Clarke
flats to a townsite company. The
new town, which is not named,
will be five miles from Deapolis and
the track will be laid a quarter of
a mile from that town. This will
put an end to Deapolis and the
large elevators owned by Capt. l.
P. Baker of Bismarck.
A big grading crew is already
at work at Fort Clarke. Another
crew is at the Schofeld ranch but
no work has been done as their
outfit has not arrived, The crew
at Sanger have done considerable
grading and work all along the
line south is progressing.
It was reported in Washburn
the first Of the week that no rails
would be laid this year. :.
Railroad officials say that right
of-way is being acquired all the
way up the river to connect with
the Great Northern near Williston.

I am twenty miles from Milk
River station and two miles north

runs right along my land, where /
have plenty Of water for the stock,
also plenty Of fuel only five miles
away. We can get all the coal we
want to dig two and a half feet
from the surface; also good pro-
spects Of the Great Northern com

miles away.
I think it is a wise plan for any
poor man to file on land, whore
there are 90 many opportunities
to build up country Of wealth.
Churches and schools are being
built all around. just the other

GET n. D. LAND SOON
Opening Of Fort Berthold Rcrervatiou
a Big Thing For This State

It is said that in the near future
there will be a great land rush tt
North Dakota when the 50O,OO(
acres in the Fort Berthold reserva
ton will be opened for settlement
Representative Hanna has intro
duced a bill in congress with 8
view of bringing about a speedy
settlement of the Indian estate
The Indian allotments have about
been made and the president will
now have to appoint a commission
who will classify and appraise the
land.
It is said the reservation will be
opened as were the Rosebud and
other great Indian reservations in
the west. For example, the lands
will be disposed Of by proclama-
ton under the general provisions
[of the homestead act and townsite
laws of the United States. The
arms will be divided into tracts
of 100 acres each, aud there will
be the usual number of townsites
Thus Fort Berthold, now hardly
more than a great waste of land.
will in the near future not only be
dotted with prosperous little towns
but is soon to become one Of the
most productive and thickly settled
communities in the entire state
and this through the liberal land
policy of the government.
OF course the we'll known lottery
system of drawing, so successful
in past openings, will again be re.
sorted to in order that everybody
get, a square deal" This system
consists of nothing more than plac-
ing as many slips of paper in an
immence drum as there are appli-
cants for the land and the drawing
therefrom of say three or four
thousand representing the number
of 100 acre farms in the tract.
The slips are numbered and cores
pond with the numbers on the ap-
plications, various copies of which
are retained by the prospective
settlers. Thus if the number
4 600 should be the first to be
drawn the holder of that number
will be entitled to the first choice
of all the farms in the tract and so

Hansbrough Gives His Reasons.

The old enmity between Sena
tor McC Cumber and Former Sena
tor Hansbrough has come to th'
surface again, in the circumstan
ces surrounding Mr.. Hans
brough's resignation from the lu
crative position to which he was
appointed when his term as sena'
tor expired. Hansbrough made
the following statement:
''The senators who arranged
that I should have the place, fixed
the salary at $500 per annum.
A few weeks later / was sent for
by two senators and informed that
my former colleague, Senator Nc
Cumber, was displeased because
I recently publicly criticized his
course in relation to the subject of
federal grain inspection, or some
thing of4that sort, and that l could
relieve them from embarrassment,
he being associated with them on
| the committee on finance. by re-
framing from discussing him.
Il replied, saying that I GER
tainIy did not want to be the
cause of embarrassment to them,
and would not thereafter, but
called their attention to the fact
that I was under no obligation to
McC Cumber for the place. I was
then told that my salary would be
at the rate of $1,000 a year, and
that / would have room assigned
me and be allowed the services Of
a clerk and stenographer.
"Two or three weeks went by,
but I was unable to get the room,
that is to say, no room was assign
ed to- me. About this time I
learned from another source that
my employment was, to terminate
with the extra tariff session and a
few days later l sent in my resig-
nation to. the chairman of the ap-
preparation committee.

work in which I was engaged
could not be properly finished
without less than couple of
years, that my services would be
ineffective if limited to few
months, and that I did not feel
under the circumstances that even
at the reduced salary I could make
adequate return to the govern
iment. Besides I added that I
wished to save, my friends in the
senate from annoyance on my ac-
count in regard to the matter.
These are the facts Of the case" :.
