sUPREME COURT CONSIDERING
LEGALITY OF ACT PRovlp.
ING REWARDS.
COSTS HEAVY TO STATE
Case Appealed From Grand Fork. AZ
sails Law Which Costs the State
Thousanes Of Dollars
Per Year.

Bismarck.-The supreme court has
completed its work on the cases as
signed for hearing before the begin
ming of the regular October term. The
last case of state interest that was ar
gued was the well known "spotter
reward" case, which came up on an
appeal from Grand Forks county. The
case was argued by former States At
ty. j. B. Wineman in behalf of the APP
pellant and by Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Young for the state in opposition
to the law.
There has been on the statute books
for some time a law authorizing the
payment of so reward for the arrest
and conviction of persons accused of
violating the prohibition law. The to-
tai sum paid out under the law was
large. running up into the thousands
Of dollars annually. A year or two ago
Attorney General McCue held that the
law was invalid and State Auditor
Holmes refused to make any more pay
rnents under the law. An action in
mandamus was brought and this is the
case that was before the court.
The contention of the counsel for the
state is that there was no appropria-
ton for the payment of these claims
for rewards and that therefore the
state auditor had no authority to pay
them. The reward bill contains no
specific appropriation clause.

Dickinson.-It has been found neces-
sary to hold a second bond election in
the Dickinson school district, which
election will be called early in October
to vote, on the same proposition that
was voted on May II, namely for the
issuance of 100000 in school bonds,
The reason for this is that the assess
ed valuation of Dickinson is SO small
that the city and school district can
scarcely make an Improvement without
reaching the, debt limit. =, Higher as
sessments were made this year to pro-
vide against this difficulty, but as the
bonds voted in May could not be based

Fargo-Wilbur p. Richardson Of
Boston. Mass, representing Arthur D.
Little Of that city, is now in North
Dakota making a thorough investiga-
ton of the possibilities for the estab-
lishment of paper pulp mill in North
Dakota. 1t is the intention of the Bos-
ton firm to make the pulp from fax
straw. G#U
They are not trying to learn the
feasibility of doing this as they are
convinced that splendid paper can be
made from flax, but they wish to find
out if the yield. of flax straw in this
state will be permanent.
For that purpose Mr.. Richardson Ia
now travelling through the state gath
ering statistics to show the yield OF
flax, the amount hat is seeded to that
crop, etc.
He had long interview this week
with Prof. H. L. Bolley of the North
Dakota A. c. relative to this matter
and stated that the company would
place pulp mill in North Dakota pro-
vided they are convinced that flax will
be permanent crop in the state.
