farmer ARMED With A
SHOT GUN STOPS WORK

the sum of $965, but it was not &C.
cepted, and the Bauers are putting
up a stubborn fight, even threatening
to shoot anyone who shall again cut
the wires.
Already there have been several
iacts in this interesting rural drama
/ Behold the scene! A deputy sheriff
under orders of the United States dis.
trict court, in the lead of the grad.
ing teams, cuts the wire. Mr. Bauer
plants himself squarely in front OF
the first team. The officer crowds
him gently to one side. Then Mrs
Bauer with her baby in her arms
Jumps in front of the team, and is
herself gently crowded aside, and the
work of grading proceeds.
A few days later Mr.. Bauer's father
returned from Bismarck, where he
had retained attorneys and in the
middle of the night the wagons and
scrapers were hauled out and the
fence put up again. And when Dep
uty Sheriff Schultz appeared next
morning he was confronted by six
irate persons who threatened to shoot
him if ne again cut the wires. Ac.
cOrdingly he sent for warrants, and
it is likely that before the end of
the week some arrests will be made.
The resistance OF Bauer is based on a
misconception. He claims that the
land is absolutely his own, and that
not even the government can take it
from him except at his own price. AS
a matter of fact, no one can resist
the progress Of railroad through his
land. 1t is not desirable that he
should. No man may block an enter
prise that is of benefit to the whole
community.
The land taken up by the Milwau-
kee is something over nine acres. Mr..
Bauer is thus offered fully 500 an
acre for his land. But of course the
farm is cut up and consequently con-
siderably damaged.

1t was too much. lie hated the sight

Pretty Rock, Morton County, Senti-

monotony. Occasionally some farmer
performs a vaudeville stunt that is
quite diverting. Just at present there
is a performance by Fred Bauer his

scene is laid on the Milwaukee grade

BALLINGER,
Secretary.

The above paragraph shows that
the government favors our Williston
water users, but takes the pound of
flesh" with vengeance from the Blu
ford Trenton water users. This is but
in line with the general action of the
reclamation service toward our peo-
pie. After those water users under
the Buford-Trenton project have paid
all maintenance and operation ex-
penses up to and including the year
1910, the government still refuses to
supply water. The power plant for
this project is out of repair, and no
water is running in the canal.

Buford Tribune:
G. M. Thomas, President Williston
Water Users association, Williston,
N. D.:
Pursuant to decision heretofore
made, water may be delivered upon
payment of all operation and mainten-
ance charges due. This is at risk of
water users in case of cancellation for
failure to pay building charges, wAer-
upon delivery of water will cease and
all payments made become forfeited.

STATE TREASURER
A Dandy Chance to Land a
Range Man in State Office

If st. Louis county will get to-
gether with one or two neighbor
ing counties this fall and put up
solid front, this end of the state
can land man in one of the big
Offices at the state capitol. This
man is none other than Walter J.
Smith, mayor of Eve1eth, and one
of the most energetic and enter
prising young business men of this
section of the state or any other
section of the state, who has an
nounced himself as a candidate for
the office of state treasurer subject
to the within of the Republican
state convention.
Mr.. Smith, since his announce
ment has received to most cordial
manifestations of support from
every section of the state and the
northern end, or Eighth Congress
siona1 district, will be his as solid
body.
Mr.. Smith, in company with
John Glode and J. P. Boyle of
Eveleth, were in this city and
Winton yesterday and while here
sounded some of the people on the
state ticket proposition. Everyone
here is heartily in favor of getting
move on in state politics and in
Mr.. Smith they see a chance to
not only land a state Office for this
section of the state but also land
a deserving man in an honored
position.

UP TO TAFT.
Land Cases Will be Taken
Direct to President.

More than a score of Northern
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michi
gan people are anxiously awaiting
the outcome of negotiations with
the officials of the interior depart
ment at Washington which are
being directed from Duluth and
upon which depends whether or
not they will be placed in posses
sion of lands upon which they filed
north of here at considerable ex-
pense and after undergoing no in
considerable hardship.
A locator took them to the Can
adam border in Lake county.
There were twenty-five or thirty OF
them and they went there to locate
on lands at the invitation of the
government which caused to be
published notices that the lands
would be thrown open to settle
ment on Aug. %, 1909. The pros
pective settlers travelled to the edge
of the tract upon which they plan
ned to file and camped on an island
until midnight of August %. In
the early morning hours of August
%, they posted their notices Of
claims and for ten days they work
ed industriously at camp building
and clearing as provided by law
In the meantime the officials al
Washington ordered the withdrawal
of the lands from entry. The not
ice reached Duluth after the land
office had closed for the day on
Saturday August p, and news Of
the action did not become known
until Monday.
Ten days later the settlers were
notified to depart by the forest
rangers for the reason that the
land had been withdrawn from
entry. They had no alternative,
and they went away. Returning
to Duluth, they rendered Their
entry money which was accepted
by the land office but was returned
a week later, as the Duluth officials
were powerless to give the settlers
any relief under the order of with
drawa1.
Capt. w. H. Smallwood took
charge of the interests of the set
tiers and asked the interior de-
partment to make a ruling that
would permit them to secure pos
session of the lands upon which
they had filed. Secretary Ballinger
promptly overruled the request and
now Capt. Smallwood probably
will appeal to President Taft to
intervene in behalf of the settlers.

County Commissioners.

The county commissioners de-
cided at their last meeting that
they would not build a new Jail
this year and authorized Sheriff
Bates to fit up a room in the base
ment of the old building to be
used by prisoners to relieve the
congestion. While the commits
sioners feel that new county Jail
is needed they also feel they need
all the money they have at pres
ent and will let the Jail matter drag
for time.
The auditor has been directed to
call for bids for the wrecking and
carting away of the old courthouse.
The purchaser must agree to do
the work within thirty days after
the bid has been let. The con-
tractor must agree to remove the
old building without damage to the
surroundings. The bids will be
opened May S.
The auditor was directed to call
for bids for the improvement of the
Vermilion road from the north line
of 56-15 to the Whiteface river.
These bids will be opened May S.
On the same date bids will be op-
ened for building the new court
house at Virginia.
The apportionment of the road
money for the coming year was
also made at the last meeting.
Commissioner McMahan of this
district received as his share for
the building and improving of
roads the sum of $2S, 900.
