KUPl1z TO Retire
ONE OF 1IsMARck'S PIONEER
MERCHANTS WILL TAKE LIFE
EASY As SOON AS HE CAN
MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO
THAT END.

Charles .Kupitz is going to retire
from business. He has concluded that
at his age he has done his share Of
work and as he has been able to &C
cumulate a good sum Of this worlds
goods he need not worry over that
part Of the proposi-i ion, so he wants to
rest the balance of his days and die in
peace.
His life has been spent in the tur-
moil of business, and many a stormy
period has been his lot, and now that
frontier life with all of its toll and
labor is passed and as a new era is
dawning upon North Dakota, and es-
pecially Bismarck. in the way Of peace
and real prosperity, Mr.. Kupitz feels
like resting from his labors and let
ting others reap where he has sown.
He thinks the next ten years will
show greater growth in Bismarck than
all the years since his arrival here In
1873; that this Is destined to be one
of the greatest cities Of the northwest
and the greatest in North Dakota
But as before stated, Mr.. kupitz
has decided to retire from active life
and is now looking for the right man
to whom he will intrust, by sale or
otherwise, his. prosperous business
built up by labor and honest dealings.
It is to be regretted that the men
who have so bravely borne the brunt
of the battle should now feel worn
and ready to retire from active SER
vice and let younger and stronger
hands take hold where they leave on.
But this Is according to nature, and
is we'll.

There were lot Of pleased people
in the city Tuesday afternoon when II
became known that the two lots or
the northeast corner OF Fourth and
Main streets had changed owners and
that at an early date the property
would be improved by a large brick
block 5Ox14O feet in size.
For a number Of xears the property
has been owned by Alexander McKen'
zie and Frank Allen. 1t was covered
with a string of cheap lumber shacks
which have been an eyesore to citi-
zens generally, so when the property
was disposed of to P. G. Remington,
the banker, there was general salts
faction as this meant that soon the
old shacks would be no more.
Mr.. Remington stated to the Trib-
une that the property, which has q
frontage of so feet on Main and 140
on Fourth street, would be improved
by the erection of handsome brick
structure. Beyond this he would not
say as he said the plans of course at
this early stage Of his ownership,
were simply tentative. Mr.. Reming-
ton is a progressive business man and
evidently not afraid to invest his mon
ey in his home city and it is safe to
say that the building that will go on
the lots will be not onlr a credit to
its builder, but to the city. In this
connection it is whispered that the
building will be three stories high.
Last night John Quinlan, the own
er of the lot adjoining the Remington
property on the east, where the Inter-
national restaurant stands, said he
would also build a brick structure to
match whatever Mr.. Remington placed
on the other lots. Such improvements
as this would make that corner repre-
sentative of the prosperity of the Me-
tropolis of the western part of the
state and everybody proud of her pro-
gressive citizens.

AN EXCITED TRUSTEE.

August Hoefs, one of the trustees
of the penitentiary board, was very
much excited over the charges that
the trustees had taken money that
they we're not entitled to, and in the
hotel lobby last evening was very
empathic in denouncing those whom
he thought were trying to smirch hs
good name. There was blood on the
moon and matters will have to be
righted before August Is satisfied.

D0lNG!S' OF THE
FATHERS

In additions to the matters done by
the city. council Monday night and
reported in the Tribune of yesterday
were the following: !, -. l.. = :.
An offer of J. c. Richie of 81 for
the posts in the old city corral at the
head of Third street was accepted.
Alderman P. F. Wilcox protested
against the charge of the Bismarck
Construction company for building
his sidewalk on the ground that the
company had removed. therefrom
about $40 worth of old lumber. He
said that when this contract account
was allowed by the company he would
pay his bill. The protest was filed.
City Attorney Register reported that
in his opinion the claim of Mrs. Ger
trude jaeger for damages because Of
falling on an icy sidewalk was not a
legal claim against the city as the
courts had held that cities could NOT
be held on such grounds, as even with
the utmost precautions walks might
be made dangerous by :ne elements,
So the council instructed the auditor
to notify the claimant that the claim
had been disallowed.
Regarding he claim of the Bismarck
Construction company against the city
for sidewalks built and for which a
warrant for over eleven hundred dol
lars had been issued without interest,
the city attorney reported that he
could see no lawful way for the city to
either pay interest on the warrant or
issue another warrant to cover the in
terest. Mr.. Richholt thought that re-
CARELESS of the law the contractors,
having performed tehir part of the con-
tract according to the specifications,
and had waited a long time for their
pay but when the attorney pointed
on the impossibility of such a course
he withdrew his objections.
The city auditor reported the result
of the lot sale as will be seen else
where in this issue. Mayor Smyth re-
GREETED that the holders of disputed
title who had filed protests against the
sale of lots claimed by them, had not
taken the matter into court and had
the matter settled. Whereupon Mr..
Richholt moved that the mayor and
city attorney be instructed to investi-
gate the title to these lots and take
such action as was deemed best for
tn city's interests.
The city auditor made the following
report and recommendations:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council.
Gentlemen: Per your instructions
given me at the last meeting Of the
city council I herewith present a
plan for taking care of the sewer
warrants which are unpaid.
find there has been collected on
sewer assessments to date the sum
Of $23,649.13, which Includes $4,846.09
paid by the N. P. R. R. company,
leaving $19.S03.04 received from all
other sources in this fund. Added to
this $19,SO0 should be approximately
$500. which has not yet been turned
in to the citv by the county treasurer
for collections on the 1908 assess
ment, which will give an annual COL
lection Of something over $4,000 for
the payment of interest and taking
care of the warrants as they become
due. There will be enough on hand
by April 1st next, or soon thereafter
to take care of the $1,000 in warrants
due April LIST, 1909. and the $4,S30
Interest due that date on outstanding
warrants. This leaves $4,000 due

The election of George e. Chamber
lain to succeed Charles w. Fulton as
senator from Oregon was a singular
circumstance, as the legislature which
chose him is Republican and he is a
Democrat. He is the governor of the
state, and his election as senator is
due to the working Of the new primary
law Of the commonwealth. a major,
ity Of the members Of the legislature
were pledged to elect him. Notwith-
standing this a determined effort was
made to defeat him.
The senator elect from Oregon was
born near Natchez, Miss, in 1854 and
graduated from Washington and Lee
university. He settled in Oregon in
1876 and taught school for three years,
In 1879 taking up the practice of law.
He has served in the legislature and
as attorney general.
Benjamin +. Shively, who was elect
ed senator from Indiana after an ex-
citing contest in the legislature of the
state, has been voted for several times
before for this office by his party as
sociates, but always up to this time
when the latter were in the minority,
so that their ballots for him constitut-
ed only a complimentary vote. This
time the Democrats possessed a ma
jority of the votes on joint ballot in
the legislature. In the party caucus
Mr.. Shively won yer his principal op-
ponent. John w. Kern, late Democratic
candidate for vice president, after
many ballots had been taken. He
will succeed James A. Hemenway in
the senate. The senator elect is the
idol OF South Bend and by birth, bring
ing up and subsequent developments
a Hoosier of Hoosiers. He is six feet
two inches tall, broad shouldercd. open
faced and open handed.
He went to the public school of
South Bend. where he was a leader
among his fellow students, and then
went to the law school Of the Uniyer-
sity of Michigan and repeated the
trick. He graduated there in 1856, not
at the head Of his class scholastically.
but practically so in popularity. In
between college terms he taught pub
lie school and tried the edges Of jour
nalism. At thirty-five he went to the
house of representatives and served in
the Forty-eighth. Fiftieth. Firty-frst
and Fffty-second congresses. being one
OF the most prominent Of the Demo
cratic leaders.

to make their influence felt in its
councils and deliberations. The ad-
vent Of men like Theodore e. Burton
Of Ohio, Benjamin F. Shively Of In
diana, Elihu Root Of New York, George
E. Chamberlain Of Oregon and Albert
B. Cummins of Iowa will tend to send
to the rear the ancient custom Of "haz-
Ing new arrivals in this the most
honorable and dignifed body in the
world. 1t would seem foolish to try
such tactics on men whose govern
mental experience is known to qualify
them so we'll for their new duties. MI.
Cummins, though he took his seat dur
ing the present congress, filling the
chair left vacant by the death Of Sen
ator Allison, is counted among the
newcomers, as he Is so recent an ar
rival. He was originally chosen to fill
Mr.. Allison's unexpired term, but has
now been chosen by the Iowa leglsla-
ture for a full term. Among other new
corners will be Wesley l.. Jones of the
state of Washington, who has served
as representative at large for his state
during several congresses. He is a
Republican, forty-five years of age and
a native of Illinois. Then there will
be the successor of the veteran Senator
Teller Of Colorado, Charles ]. Hughes.
He is a lawyer Of Denver and a Demo-
crat. Joseph l.. Bristow Of Kansas is
another new man.
Perhaps the best known Of the new
senators will be Elihu Root. who as
secretary of war Inc secretary Of state,
and particularly in the latter office, has
been n of the leading factors in the
administration now drawing to a close.
Mr.. Roots service at the head of the
state department will be especially re-
membered for his efforts to draw
closer the bonds of friendship be-
tween North and South America, a
work in which he followed in the steps
OF another brilliant secretary of state,

NEW IRRIGATION SYSTEM.

Perforated Underground Pipes Dis
tribute the Water.
According to Professor John L. Wig
gins OF Kansas City, inventor Of a new
system Of irrigation, the great Ameri-
can desert is to be made to ''bloom
as the rose" says the Kansas City
Star. The "Wiggins system Of SUBJ
irrigation" as it is called, is, the in
ventor declares, not only simple and
cheaply operated, but any farmer can
successfully irrigate from ten to thirty
acres Of land from an ordinary bored
we'll. Such wells, the inventor claims,
gan be drilled almost anywhere in the
arid and semiarid districts of the west.
The system Of subirrigation recently
Invented and patented by Professor
Virgins consists of a series Of &C.
ment pipes laid from nine to fifteen
inches under ground. An elevated
tank or reservoir Is filed by means Of
an ordinary gasoline motor or by a
windmill. From this tank runs the
main conduit, four to six inches in
diameter, to which are connected two
inch lateral tiles with holes on either
side, through which water is forced
out into the soil. These openings. or
ports, are covered with a fine screen
Of copper wire, which prevents roots
and other distractions from clogging
them. The tile is made by means Of
hydraulic pressure and Is continuous,
thereby enabling it to withstand high
pressure. The water carries with it a
certain amount Of oxygen. which, the
inventor declares. is worth almost as
much to plant life as moisture itself.
