Fight DUE over
COUNTY SEAT
FT. CLARK AND CENTER WILL
BE THE OPPOSING FACTORS
FOR OLIVER HoNoRS.

Msndan, n. d. Sept. 7.-Oliver
county is upon the verge of county
seat war in which the newly plated
townsite of FIT. Clark will endeavor
to wrest from Center the honors il
now holds. FIT. Clark will be located
on the banks of the Missouri river
and along the line of the new railroad
taht is being built north from Man
dan.
Center has neld the county seat for
a number of years. 1t is an inland
town and this is the fact that the
workers for Fl. Clark will put un as
an argument against it's being kept
there in the future. With the building
of the railroad through the eastern
part of the county it is also claimed
that the center of population will be
there, and for that reason the county
seat should be removed.

liticaily, socially and morally II il under
the ban OF the law and society.
And vet some folks win argue that
more IL sold here than I'm adjoining
states where II has the sanction az law
and public sentiment.
Bismarck Palladium: The Grand
Forks correspondent De The Fargo Fo-
rum informs us that there are ct the
present time l.79I blind pigs In North
Dakota. assuming, doubtless, that the
assumption OF law, that the possession
Of government tax receipt for the re-
tail sale of intoxicating liquor Is prifna
facie evidence that such LIQUOR Ia being
sold Is correct. The statement is also
made that this number Of places FOR
the dispensation Of liquor would figure
out at the rate Of one for every 244 in
habitants In the state. This is hardly
fair to the state, bad as IL undoubtedly
Is, for the calculation Is evidently made
on the basis OF population as taken in
1905, at the last state census. Con-
seryative statisticians now place the
population Of the state at over 100000,
whereas the 1905 census only found
few over $4,000, SO on the more accur-
ate enumeration. Law violation lie not
quite so bad as stated. IT will be diff
cult. however. for Mr.. Miller, attorney
general OF the state. to reconcile even
these figures with his expressed opin.
ion in an interview with the editor OF
a Devils Lake paper. when he says that
the lid Is down tight in Bismarck,
Minot. Jamestown. Mandan Dickinson.
and practically all the other cities of.
the state" The fact OF the matter is
that conditions in North Dakota were
never more satisfactory to the LIQUOR
dealers outside of the state than they
are now, and this also applies to the
majority OF those who are engaged In
the Illegal sale of LIQUOR In the state
itself Cost Of collections for whisky
dealers have shrunk In North Dakota,
since the more rigid attempts to en-
force the prohibition law, from is per
cent to less than 5 per cent, and In
malt liquors from 20 per cent to about
5 per cent, and many houses who dear
in these commodities do not consider
theseas items incident TO their BUSH
ness at all, SO nearly do they carry on
a cash business with their North Da-
kota customers, and there is no COM
plant heard from these outside harpies
that there is any falling OFF in their
trade. On the contrary, the North Da,
kota account is the very best that many
a Minnesota and Illinois wholesale rot
gut peddler has on his books And SO
the farce goes merrily on, and one Of
the most important social questions of
the day and one which is calling more
than any other for sensible |
treatment is made the medium for per-
sonal, political exploitation by cow
ardly politicians, who are often them |
selves hopeless victims OF the drink
habit, and who care nothing about the |
moral aspect of the question, so that
they can continue themselves in the |
limelight of personal notoriety.

OF BLACKMAIL
GREEK INTERPRETER AT GRAND

ing from Minot and at once put in &
strenuous and emphatic denial of the
story sent out from Devils Lake last
week to the effect that he was carrying
on systematic system or blackmail
against the Greek laborers.
The story coming from Devils Lake
was to the effect that Mr. Tocas. who
is very well known in Grand Forks
making his home here. was collecting
from 81 to $40 from the Greeks each
month as a consideration for keep
ing their jobs. 1t being alleged that in
case such payments were not made the
laborer would soon find himself out Of
a job.
But these are not facts, saws Mr.
Toscas. and he will push an investi-
CATION for the purpose Of learning
who started the story and in case the
facts warrant 1t. a damage action will
probably be started against the Devils
Lake Journal, which paper published

Mr.. Toscas says there Is absolutely
no foundation whatever for the story
and he Is of the belief that 1t was
started by some person or persons in
an effort to get his position. He says
there have been several men who
have been looking for his place do
ing their best to dislodge him, and the
story he believes, is part of their
system in attempting to secure his re-
There are about 500 Greeks on the
