MOSCOW.-The marriage laws of
Idaho will be tested at the coming
term of the federal court at Moscow,
which opens May 16. A complicated
question has arisen as to what law the
government is to recognize in Indian
allotment cases which will come up
for settlement. A decision of the SUI
preme court of the state takes the set
tlement of Indian estates out of the
hands of the United States court. In
many instances the Indians left their
wives and took up with second and
third wives. When allotment was
made the government recognized the
last wife living with the Indian.

TAFTS ATTITUDE.

S'nlncident with the cable news that
Roosevelt had actually gone lion
hunting. with about the average
chances of being eaten, the supreme
court Judges of New York, Joseph II
Csboate, higher-up corporation lawyer
and Attorney General Wickersham
got together for dinner in New York
Friday night.
The speechmaking was largely the
rtd;culing and roasting of Roosevelt
policies in dealing with law-breakins
corporations. and n declaration by
wickersham of the administration S
attitude toward such concerns.
1t is not very important what
Choate said. 1t was to have been ex-
oected that his opinions wouldn't
cause him any loss of bread and but
Ter. while his personal abuse of man
who is out of hearing in the middle
of Africa was also a safe venture.
Put what the attorney general said
on behalf of Taft is mighty import
ant. and we give the following eX-
cerpts from his speech:
at may be. it probably is. true, that
in the movement to impress upon the
whole business world the meaning and
force of certain laws and the necessity
of attention and obedience to them,
some suits were instituted and some
prosecutions commenced without
enough consideration and without
adequate cause. When such conditions
are found to exist. the present admin
fstration will not hesitate to withdraw
the suits or dismiss the prosecutions.
Such action must not, however, be Ia
ken as any indication of an inten-
ton by this administration to abandon
in the slightest degree the vigorous
impartial enforcement of the law or to
undo ia any degree the splendid work
of the last administration.
at is to be hoped that the supreme
court will, at an early day, authorita-
lively define the full scope and effect
Of the antitrust law, and that if a
construction should be given to it by
that court as far-reaching as some of
the judges of the court of appeals in
this circuit gave in the tobacco cases,
congress may so amend the act as TO
except from its provisions the ordin-
any agreements which are the neces-
sary results of healthy business con-
ditions, while still effectively prohib-
fting the creation of these far-reacn-
ing monopolies which are believed to
be incompatible with the wholesome
growth and progress of the republic.
1t is only fair to take the Taft ad-
rninistration at its word and to be-
made against the law breakers, they
will be prosecuted: when the cases are
bad, they will be dropped or not
brought at all. 1t seems to be a ques-
zion between the lawyers of Roose-
veit's cabinet and the lawyers of Taft'S
cabinet. The latter are fresh from
are payrois of the corporations. Nat
uraliy, they will see q whole lot of
weaknesses on the governments side
OF the cases. Naturally. too. they will
be whole lot less enthusiastic about
taking risks in bringing cases.
Looking at the matter as a whole,
the attitude of the administration, as
declared, must be sufficiently "reac-
tionary'' from the Roosevelt attitude
to suit the corporations.
Certain it is that Teddy flushed the
whole covey of rascally corporations
The skill and willingness of Taft to
bring any of them down remains to
ne demonstrated.

MANY APPLY
FOR FAIR JOBS
EVERYBODY WANTS WORK AT FAIR
Applicants Swamp Officers With Per-
sistcnt Pleas for Fat
Jobs.

SEATTLE, May 4.-Would you like
to have nice easy job at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition, which opens
in Seattle June 1? To be sure you
would. All right, what kind? Ex-
position guard? File your applica-
ttion with Mr. Wappenstein. Yours is
number 1O4S2. Will you get a job 4?
Well, really now, can't promise you
anything, for there will be 140 guards
on the fair grounds, and those ten
thousand four hundred and eighty
one applications must be considered
first. No, hardly think you will get
the job.
Never in the city of Seattle has
anyone been SO swamped with appli-
cations for work as have the officials
of the Alaska Yukon-Pacific EXPOSE
ton. 1t seems that about half of
the adult population of the state
wants to work at the fair, and all OF
the youngsters. Applications come in
by every mail, and the offices of the
exposition are crowded with office
seekers. They want all sorts of jobs,
anything, in fact, that will entitle
them to a season pass Money, in
most cases, is no object. They want
to work at the exposition, if they
have to pay for the privilege. And
some of the applicants take their
failure to obtain work quite philoso-
phically and, walk into the treasurers
Office to buy a season ticket, which
can be had for $40 if bought before
the opening day.
Some of the applicants are not so
easily disposed of, but keep coming
day after day, demand vigorously a
personal interview with some over
worked department chief, present
letters from all sorts of people, en-
dorsements by political clubs, church
societies or petty politicians, and only
finally give up in disgust with firm
belief that they are the victims OF
lack of pull" or that there is some
graft" connected with this exposi-
ton business. They do not realize
that the responsible positions at an
exposition must be filled by expert
enced men of known ability, who are
specialists in their lines, and that for
the unskilled positions there are SO
applications on file for every job, and
many of them have been assigned
weeks ago.
During the last six months there
have been at all times between two
and three thousand men at work on
the fair grounds, many of them en-
ployed by contractors. All employees
have been well paid and will be, al
though the exposition could get its
labor very cheaply if it took advant-
age of the wild scramble for jobs
But there is little chance today for
the young man who comes to Seattle
because he bellies there will be hun
dreds of jobs around the exposition
Every position is already spoken for
by scores of applicants. The exposi-
| ton is sparing no pains to secure
| competent employees who will minis
ter to the care and comfort of visi-
tors.

q.
To every woman, especially the wo-
man who keeps house, the topic of
summer comfort in the home is one
of never-failing interest.
This is particularly true where
comfort in the kitchen is concerned,
as it is in this one room that the
most trying part of the work is done,
such as cooking, baking, ironing and
heating water for wash-day purposes.
Even in cool weather such work is not
altogether welcome, but it becomes
drudgery on days when the mercury is
trying to jump through the top of the
thermometer, aided by a hot stove
that diffuses its almost unbeara BILE
heat through the kitchen.
But such days are past With the
New Perfection Wick Blue Flame Oil
Cook Stove kitchen drudgery becomes
kitchen comfort, for this wonderful
stove is so constructed that it not only
produces quick results, but does it all
without perceptibly raising the kitch-
en- temperature.
All this means real comfort to the
woman who works in the kitchen, es-
pecially when considered with the
time; in the doing away with all car
rying of coal, wood and ashes; in hav-
ing stove that can be turned on or
off, high or low, as required; and in
not having to keep it lighted when not
in use.
Then there is the saving of fuel to
be considered; and it is here also that
the New Perfection excels. Although
equipped with three burners it has but
one oil reservoir, thus reducing three
separate filling operations to one.
Besides all this, the New Perfec-
ton" is the only oil stove built with a
cabinct top. Its commodious top
shelf is particularly useful for warm
ing plates and keeping food hot after
it is cooked. In addition there are two
drop shelves on which may be set the
teapot or coffee pot and small cook
ing utensils. Also has two racks for
holding towels.
Altogether the New Perfection is
stove of wonderful utility. Its ex-
tremely handsome appearance sets
off any kitchen to full advantage. 1t
matter what the point of comparison
may be-or whether regarded as a
summer stove only or as a stove for
year round use.
Another household article of I'M
usual convenience is the Rayo Lamp,
scientifically constructed lamp that
will adorn any room-whether library,
parlor. dining room or bedroom. The
Rayo Lamp gives a mellow steady

Matters of Much Importance to Come
Before Board - Grand Forks Rates

When the North Dakota Board Of
Railroad Commissioners meets for
it's first session in 1910 on January
4 there will be a number of impor-
tant matters to settle.
At. that time the matter Of the in
stallation of proper cattle guards at
the crossings Of the various roads
operating in the state will be taken
up and settled. All the roads have
been notified of the meeting and that
the matter will come up at that
meeting and the commission has as
surance that there will be represen'
tatives Of the various roads present.
The return charges on empty oil
carriers will also come up at that
meeting. At the present time the
oil companies complain that an ex-
cessive charge is made for the re-
turn of empty oil barrels and cans.
In a number of other states the
charge for this class OF freight is
one-haH of the fourth class rate
when the minimum is not less than
Is cents. In North Dakota the charge
Is at the rate of the regular third
class schedule and makes the charge.
rather heavy in some instances. The
freight department Of the roads en-

If the intentions Of the company as
stated in letters received by Secre.

The matter of the freight rates
from Grand Forks to points north

has sent out word this time that the
matter will be settled for good and
all. The complaining parties have
submitted all their matter and 1t Is
up to the companies to show why
there should not be change ordered
in the rates. At the present time
some of the rates from Grand Forks
to the points mentioned are more
than the through rates to the same
point from Minneapolis and St. Paul
and thus works a great injustice to
the shippers and dealers in Grand

tween Ardoch and Fairdale will also

point and Fairdale is only few mil

alleged that they are favored over
the intermediate stations which are

it as fuel for pumping water for lr-
