AN INvIDuous COMPARISON.

Less than one fifth acre eanear Rose
burg produced over $500 worth Of
cherries this spring. One hundred and
eighty-five acres in North Dakota pro-
duced ia bushels of oats this year.
Taking out seed, the gross prod uctiocn
|is about el36 worth of grain. Compar-
ed on basis of acreage, and value of
production, If the North Dakota land Is
worth $40 per acre, the Umpqua valley
land is worth something over $1,000 Der
acre. It figures do not lie, some years
one acre in the Umpqua valley is worth
mort than half q section in the Missis-
|sippie valley. n II

THE SUPREME COURT
DECIDED NOTHING,

The Grand Forks He-ald, from infor.
nation supplied by Cavalier people, and
all the county papers which favor coun.
ty seat removal, all eminent on the
decision of the supreme court and
assumeSor say directly that the decision
was against Pembina, and that the
court had decided the questions sub
mitted on their merits.
This is absolutely untrue. The
court decided nothing whatever except
that they did not care to take original
Jurisdiction, and IN effect, thus said
and that the action must originate in
the district court and beappealed before
the supreme court would consider the
same.
AS the opinion delivered by the
supreme court says, counsel for the
defendants in effect, stated that they
did not desire to raise any objection to
the exercise by this court OF its original
jurisdiction aud that THEY JOINED WITH
RELAToR's COUNCIL IN REQUESTING THAT
THIS COURT EXERCISE rTs DIsCRErloN
UPON ITS NER1Ts." \
That Is, that as the Cavalier attorneys
Joined with the Pembina attorneys in
asking the court to decide on the merits
of the question. therefore the decision
was just as much against Cavalier as
against Pembina. As matter of fact
there was no decision whatever, except
to refuse both parties in. their joint
request. In other words the court
refused to decide anything st this time
and in this manner. And both parties
were so refused.

reports from the west, they are enjoying
The best fruit crop that they ever had.
But neither of these statements really
mean anything by which to compare
values. The cherry crop. or any other
fruit crop is not the result of one sea-
sons labor, but of several if not many
years work. 1t takes three months to
raise crop of oats in North Dakota
and that don't mean that the farmer
works every day at his oats. only the
time to plow and seed. The fruit crop
of five or ten acres takes all the fatmer's
time all the year round-or else he
don't have much fruit. Really, in the
long run, the values of the crops are
regulated more by the measure of men, s
labor than the value of the land. There
are many other considerations that
make the value of land than Just its
fertility, though of course the fertility
is always leading factor. Farmers in
North Dakota raise pretty much the
same sort of crops as the farmers OF
Illinois and Iowa, get just about the
same prices for their products, and
with considerably less labor, but lands
in the former states sell for from two to
four times as much per acre.

Pembina has not taken any such high
moral plane. 1t doesn't try to fool
people with any such nonsense. When
we tell the people that new court houses
c ost money and lots of it, the taxpayers
know it is true. When we tell people
that it is poor business to hand over
business tributary to their towns to a
rival town they know that it is true.
It don't make any difference what our
own standpoint in the mater is, these
propositions are true just the same,
whether uttered by the devil or an
angel.
The only thing that the reader need
consider is the truth of the statements,
not why they are stated-unless it is a
hypocrite that utters them, and even
then that is another consideration.
Pembina has never posed as the great
benefactor of the taxpayers. 1t has
just treated the matter as a financial
question. 1t has simply submitted
figures Of cost and asked the voter if he
thought it would pay to remove the
court house.
Cavalier from the beginning has tried
to make the taxpayer believe that they
wanted removal solely for his benefit;
that they had unseltishly raised fund
of $4,000, just SO the people could have
their rights that we're beng denied
them by the Pembina williams, etc. and
have tried to prove by false figures and
assertions that the new buildings would
cost the taxpayers almost nothing. !,
Which is the hypocrite? I

NEVER INTENDED TO LET
ANY OTHER TOWN COMPETE

The Cavalier Chronicle is authorit,
for the statement that it was never in.
tended that any other name than that
of Cavalier should be printed on the
ballot. The same paper also says that
the attempt of Pembina, to have the
ballot SO printed that each voter could
follow the law and "vote for the town
he prefers" is an attempt by Pembina
to stifle and subvert the voice of the
people.
II the ballot is printed in strict ac-
cordance with the wording Of the
petition and in accordance with the
resolution made by the county board it
is not possible to word the ballot in any
way that will permit the voter to even
write in the name of any other town
whatever. The only possible wording
will have to be question like the
following:-"Shall the county seat be
removed from Pembina to Cavalier,
Yes-No." That is all the petition calls
for aud that is all that can be voted on
according to the resolution made by the
county board in answer to the petition.
But still they claim it is Pembina
that is trying to prevents free express
sion of opinion when the vote is taken.
II a voter attempted to change the
wording as printed, his vote would not
be counted; If he just wrote in the name
OF any other town it could not be count
ed because he is limited to either "yes"
or "no'' on the question as asked. As
the Chronicle remarks, it was never
intended by the Cavalier committee
that any other town should have
chance land they are now fighting in
the courts, Pembina's plea for an open
and free expression Of the people SO
that each elector may have the privilege
as the law says, .'of voting for the place
in the county which he prefers by plac-
ing opposite the name of the place the
mark (X)." That is all that Pembina
is contending for in the courts and that
is all that it could possibly contend for
under the law; but it has the right to
ask that the law be obeyed in case
like this for itself, while on the other
hand, it is not limiting OF curtailing
anybody's rights but just the opposite.
It is Cavalier that is trying to prevent
free expression BY the voters.

"wH0 LIEs7''

The above is an editorial heading in
the Mountaineer. Say, Charlie, it was
long ago decided that "short and ugly
word was hardly suitable for the use Of
any body of good breeding except per.
haps Col. Roosevelt. We suggest that
in this controversy we use softer but
just as significant word and just say
''Lee's.
You begin yoar inquiry Of "who lies?''
(mostly statements though) by saying
that you publish in another column the
mileage of So jurors who attended court
in January, 1909. AS there were but %
jurors paid of at that term, lone of
whom you have not on your list at alD
the other 80 names must therefore be
80 Lees"
You try to explain the extra number
by saying they we're q. second lot''
called at the same term en- the re was
no second lot called. Because you
know better, and because you intended
to deceive your readers by the same,
this is another Lee. For proof see your
own files.
In December, 1908 you published the
list Of jurors called for the January
term Of court following. That list is
practically identical with the last half Of
the List You now publish as the jurors
paid of at that term. In May following
you published another list Of jurors
called for the ensuing term Of June.
That published list is practically identi-
cal with the names that now occupy
about the first half of the So names
that you still insist were all called in
January. Then you say that this
double lot Of names Of two terms is a
fair average for each and every term of
court, which would appear to be another
Lee.
You say the list IS published in the
Hamilton Independent had been cor
rected and that the differences were in
favor Of Cavalier. AS David Ellenbaum
who was not paid any mileage is credit
Led in your list with l58 miles from Cav
alier whom he received no pay for mile:
age, and as Charles Atkinson Of Pembi-
ma is not listed atall who was = Juror
at. that term, it Is evident that the list
was not corrected g given BY you
hence theie is another little jL,se. sssi

COUNTY SEAT HYPocRIcY.

The Chronicle, and other Cavalier
promoter newspapers, criticise the
Pioneer Express because it has argued
the case at times from the point OF view
Of the residents of other towns and from
the taxpayers standpoint.
We do not 60 much wonder at this
because these papers have shown in all
their discussion how incapable they are
Of putting themselves in another's place.
In this fight Pembina and Cavalier
are each actuated by purely selfish
motives. Each OF them desires the
county seat for the advantages that
accrue from its possession.
Each local town outside of these two
towns has the right to look at the issue
in exactly the same manner. Not what
Pembina wants or what Cavalier wants
but what they want. Not for Cavalier
or Pembina but for themselves. There
is no great moral question to be decided.
The farmer has just the same right to
sAgure on the matter IN . purely selfish
manner. The only question that need
appeal to him Is the personal advantage
or disadvantage Of removal.
There isn't any town in the county
but would be glad to get the county
seat. There isn't any farmer in the
county but would like to have. the
county seat near his farm.
But when it comes to removal to some
other town or near another mans farm,
the question appeals to the town or
farmer in an entirely different manner.
10 all the other towns it would be q
disadvantage and TO most of the farmers
the removal to Cavalier would be Of no
benefit whatever, while on the other
hand III would be large addition to the
taxes. ;75. ss il ss5 ss,. VI III
ItSmay be true that il Hamilton or
Bathgate or some other town was
working for the removal ia the same

GREAT OVER
MOOSE EC|RCUS

Enthusiasm was 100 in the shade
last evening at the meeting of the
Moose lodge regarding the coming
circus. The lodge room was packed
with members eager to take some part
in the preparations and program of
the big event.
When the cafl was made for one
hundred men to participate in the
parade and evening program. the
lodge seemed to move as one man to
sign the list of volunteers.
The chairmen OF the various com
mittees reported that everything was
progressing smoothly and rapidly in
the way of preparatory work.
Some time this coming week the
managers from the Denver Moose cir
Gus will be in the city and meet with
the local Moose, to perfect details Of
the performances.
Every afternoon a stupendous pa
rade will be pulled off which will be
the biggest thing of its kind ever got
ten up in this city. Special commit
tees have been assigned to each sep
arate line of work so that every de-
tail will be worked out completely.
Secretary Gasho will leave in a day
or two for trip of advertising and
publicity for the Mesa County Fair
and Moose circus and 1t is believed
that this year will see one OF the
largest crowds ever gotten together
on the western slope.
Each member OF the Moose is sup
posed to be an active committeeman
or volunteer for some one of the
many departments of the big show"
and If unanimous sentiment and will
ingness are criterions then the sue
cess of the affair is assured.
