Medals for Wright Brothers.

One of the first and most important
matters with which the club will have to
do is the presentation to the Wright

The club is raising a subscription of
$1,000 to strike two medals, one of which
will be presented TO Orville and the other
to Wilbur Wright. 1t was thought at

Wright and the death of Lieut.. Selfridge
the matter lay dormant for while. Now
the organization committee appointed at
the dinner to Capt. Baldwin last fall is
actively at work and the ranks OF the
new club will soon be filled
The plan was first definitely preached at
the dinner in question. and Gen. Allen.

to take charge. A committee was APP

Der of prominent persons asking them to
attend the organization meeting, which
will be held at an early date.
Public Men and Scientists.
The club will not be so much mere
ballooning organization as some of the
others of the same name, but will number
among its members prominent public
men and scientists who have never taken
balloon trip and many of whom prob
ably never will 1t will foster the scien-
tific development of aeronautics as we'll
as aeronautiCs as a sport There are
many men and several government bu-
reaus in Washington whose aid will be
most valuable to the aeronautic world at
large, and the support and advice of all
of them will be enlisted in solving scien-
tific problems and giving practical help in
4he development of aerial flight
The interest of the United States gov
eminent has been fully aroused in con-
nection with mechanical flight. The gov
eminent has not actually acquired the
Wright aeroplane, but it is considered by
the officers of the army good as gov
eminent property. 1t may be said that
aeroplaning in this country would never
have been given such an impetus as it
has received had it not been for the action
of the Signal Corps in taking it up last
summer.

GREAT FUTURE FOR
IRRIGATION BELT
RESIDENTS OF WILLIAMS coUN-
TY ENTHUSIASTIC OVER PRO-
JEcT FOR REcLAMA.
TON,

Grand Forks, N. D., March BON.
c. Dillon, chairman of the board of
commissioners of Williams county, is
spending a few days in the city on
business matters. Mr. Dillon is one
of the big and successful farmers of
that part of the state, owning a large
ranch at the edge of the Buford- Tren-
ton irrigation scheme; in fact a part
Of his farm will be under the second
ditch of that scheme when 1t Is con-
structed. He has implicit faith in the
future of that part of the state and
believes that one of the greatest adj
Vantages will be in the improvement
Of the Missouri river for navigation
purposes. He thinks that when wing
dams are constructed which will keep
the channel permanently fixed, the
river itself will deepen the channel
so that medium draft boats can ply
the waters. He also believes that
the irrigation plans, once they are
fully worked out, will mean the diver
sifcation OF the irrigated section and
the growing Of sugar beets, alfalfa,
and similar crops. The growing of
sugar beets, would, of course, mean
the building of beet sugar factory
which in turn would mean the de-
veIopment of that section along en-
tirely new and profitable lines.

CRITICISES ". c. 7. U.
Especially Stand Taken by Mrs. An
derson on the Druggist Permit
Bill.

Courtenay Gazette: Elizabeth Pres
ton Anderson, president of the w. G.
T. u. was placed in a rather awk-
ward position during the late session
of the legislature and the part she
took on the druggist permit bill is
being criticised by good many peo-
pie. She advocated the defeat Of the
Macarthur bill which provided for do
ing away with the druggist permit and
allowing doctors to prescribe liquor
in case of necessity. She favored the
McCrea bill which takes the granting
Of permits out of the hands of the
county judge and places IL in the
hands Of the district Judge. It SEEM
ed to be her idea that we had bet
ter have the druggist permit under
severe restrictions than to trust the
doctors to prescribe 1t for medicinal
purposes and take chances of doctors
getting possession of drug stores and
running blind pigs. Or it may be that
she figured it out that by depriving
the people of liquor entirely they would
soon become so thirsty that 1t would
eventually bring about resubmission
and the temperance people would lose
all they had been fighting for all these
years. We are inclined to the belief
that the former was her reason for
working against the Macarthur bill,
and we believe her reasons were well
founded.

JUSTICE WAS TOO sLoW-Took

Citizen Accused Of Wife Beating was
Dragged Through the Streets and
Beaten--Man's Wife Was Prevailed
Upon to Use Law Against Husband.

Harvey, N. d., March a0.-Sunday
evening family trouble in the home OF
Gottlieb Leintz resulted in neighbors
calling up policeman Lilly to stop the
row.
Mr.. Lilly went up TO the Leintz
home, but Mrs. Leintz would not swear
out a warrant and consequently Mr..
Lilly was unable to make an arrest,
as nothing occurred in his presence
justifying such a procedure.
However, from observations It APP
peared that Leintz had whipped his
wife horribly, beating her in the face
and blacking her eye. and a number
OF citizens decided he was deserving
OF a public chastisement, and going
to his house Monday night, they took
him from his house, tied a rope to
his feet and dragged him through the
mud and slush for four or five blocks
down to Main street where he was
let go with the promise, that he would
get worse If he did not behave.
The next morning Mrs. Leintz was
prevailed upon to swear out a warrant
for his arrest, and she went before
Judge Schatz and swore to COM

he assaulted her with large butcher
knife. Deputy Sheriff Dompier ar
rested Leintz and ne was taken before
Judge Schatz at the City hall Tues
day. Attorney Grethen for the de-

until Wednesday at p. m, which was
granted and States Attorney Lane was
was sent for to appear for the state
in the hearing.
When the court set Wednesday
Judge Schatz was disqualified owing
to activity he had shown in the case,
and the hearing was turned over TO
Justice Riesland, when the hearing
proceeded. Rev. Helm was sworn in
as interpreter and Henry Olson was
put in as stenographer.
Only one witness for the complain
ant was sworn. The defendants at
torney made several motions to have
the prisoner released, all of which
were denied and the defendant was
bound over to the district court under
$500 BAH and $500 peace bond.

Ambrose to make sure Of the iden-
tity OF their men but kept a watch
over the band of horses during the
night. Soon after they left on their

and wanted to get the coat out of the
place where II was pawned with a
view Of fixing up matters. In this ne
was unsuccessful and he was taken to

ton of his case.
Robbed Working Girls.
Goodrie has had long career Of
crime. He has been careful, as rule
to keep his stealing down to the petit
larceny variety. He has been accused
on numerous occasions.
Last summer he entered the rooms
OF some girls employed In a hotel and
stole their savings. While he was in
jaIl woman who was employed as a
cook identified him as the man who
was found prowling around her house
at the time the $40 disappeared. The
evidence against him was so strong
that Goodrie decided to plead guilty
and beg mercy from the court.
The arrest yesterday was made by
Chief o. OVERLY, who turned the ac-
cused over to the sheriff. While the
warrant against Goodrie charges only
petit larceny, 1t Is OF little account in
this case. Goodrie is doomed to serve
five years.

getting the worst OF 1t, whereupon he
went up town and secured a shotgun.
He was halted In that procedure and
