SLIGHTEST tilt
in APRIL "LID"
NEW RECORD is ESTABLISHED IN
THE POLICE COURT DURING
THE PAST MoNTH-ToTAL OF
IS COLLECTED IN FINES BY
JUDGE RYAN, - -s ~. .


There is little. chance foFs improve
0ment in the moral condition in the
city of Fargo. In the opinion of
Judge Martin Ryan the lid has been
adjusted in nearly perfect fashion
with police platoons stationed at ev-
cry corner.
This is substantiated by the report
of the police magistrate for the month
of April, which was flied at the office
of the city auditor this morning Ac-
cording to this document only SIS in
fines was collected during the past
month, a record which was never
heard of in the past
Many reports of the police magis-
trate have shown fines collected ag-
gregating $1,000 for a single month.
But there is nothing like that now.
1t Is predicted that another hitch will
be taken in the traces this month with
the probability that the report the
first of next month will show the
moral atmosphere clarified entirely.

APPLIED
| in CASS COUNTY
FEW PETITIONS FOR TREE
5ouNTiEs IN THIS SECTION
LAW is QUESTIONED BUT COM
MIssIoNERs ENCOURAGE TREE
PLANTING NEVERTHELESS.

The tree bounty problem has no.
been solved by the late legislature In
the opinion of Deputy Auditor f. O.
Guthrie. While the constitutlenality
of the measure has been. Questioned
the commissioners of Cass county have
taken the stand that 1t was their duty
to encourage tree planting rather than
take advantage of some techhicality.
There have been less than half doz-
EN- such petitions presented to the
comm. ssioners and these were allowed
Il appears that In 1906 a bounty OF
SO per acre was decided upon for trees.
The law was worthless and so IL was
amended in 1907 SO as to make it pro-
vide for the payment in cases where
not less than one and more than ten
acres of trees were planted, payment
to be made out OF the general fund ot
the county. This law was also worth
less. The last legislature provided
that those who plant trees may secure
a rebate OF SO per acre from the coun-
ty treasurer out of the amount they
owe for taxes. AS the money paid
for taxes includes all classes of funds
school and otherwise, some townships
would be bankrupt If many trees were
planted.

.LADD AFTER MEAT
AND FISH DEALERS
PURE FOOD COMMISSIONER is
AWAITING THE OPINION OF At
ToRNEY GENERAL REGARDING
STORAGE or FISH AND FOWL
IN THE MEAT MARKETS.

Pure Food Commissioned Ladd Is
awaiting an opinion from the attorney
general of North Dakota regarding his
Interpretation of the law covering the
storage of meats. II Attorney General
Miller holds as the attorney generals
of several other states have held, that
under the pure food laws Of this state
fish and fowl cannot be stored un-
drawn, then Professor Ladd will start
a vigorous campaign against this prac-
tice.
The North Dakota law is practically
the same as the law in several other
states. regarding the storage of Ash
and fowl. In almost all these other
states this law has been interpreted to
mean that dealers cannot store Ash
and fowl without first drawing them.
Il believe that the practice OF stor-
ing both fish and fowl without first
drawing them, is quite common
throughout the state" said Professor
Ladd this morning, and If my opinion
is upheld by the attorney general the
practice must be stopped"

STONE FENCE FOR
PREACHERS CAMPUS
PROBABLE THAT FINE ATHLETIC
FIELD WILL EVENTUALLY Be
ENCLOSED IN A MOST SUSTAIN
TIAL MANNER--wlLL MAKE
GRAND ATHLETIC PARK.

If supporters of the athletic depart
ment of Fargo college have their way,
the fine field which has been arranged
between the college and the business
section OF the city win soon be en-
closed in a very substantial manner.
All that is lacking just now Is funds
but ii is more than likely that before
the present season is over that q move
ment will be started to interest those
who desire to see Coach Grogan's de-
partment advance with the same
strides as during the past few years.
No board fence Will ever be erected
around the field. That much has been
definitely decided on. If the funds
can be raised stone wall will be built
around the ground that will soon be-
come sacred with traditions and go q
long way towards making history for
the educational institution. There is
q possibility that the department will
have to be satisfied with a steel frame
on which canvas can be stretched when
the park is to be used.
The stone wall plan is used in many
of the older colleges of the east and
central states. where if a board fence
were erected IL would be classed as un-
slightly or a public nuisance
There are many in Fargo who desire
to- see a movement started this season
to raise a fund to be used eventually
to pay for a stone wall. Doubtless a
good sum could be raised in the city.

$500, another $500, another 81,
900, another 81 $50, another 81,

Kingston; but Mr.. Taft did not

But the merchants are no better
of than these women who have
their "investment" driven upon
the rocks of insolvency, A news

the merchants in the village have
their cash tied up;" also that
Hthe failure of the hank will be n
