The owners of the cars spent most
Of Sunday morning in making repairs
for the return home. The trip was q
success in every way, and proved
very interesting to those participant
ing in it.
There were good many minor &C.
cidents to the cars enroute.
Palda's machine went wrong and
had to be towed in forty miles
D. c. Dorman, whose car was
ustd as a pathfinder, was laid up at
Bottineau quite while. Mr.. Dorman
ruined four new tires on the trip.
Dorman and Tracy had gone ahead
and scattered confetti along the route
which assisted the others in keeping
on the right road. Posts had been
set up at each five miles, and a flag
placed at every turn. Even then,
many lost their way. Major Parson
got to Bottineau right, but lost his
way in, getting out, and arrived at
,Westhope. n,
Martin jacobson was directed to
the wrong lake from Bottineau and
found himself at Lake Metigoshe, fif-
teen miles out of the way. Mr..
Jacobson says the actual running
time from Minot to the lake for his
car was hours and 80 minutes, TAX
ing out during what time he was in
Bottineau and on the wrong road.
Olaf Olson's car, driven by his son,
was quite badly used up. Mr.. Kann
got as far as Dunseith and decided to
spend Sunday in Bottineau.
The Minot people had good time
at the lake, many remaining over
until Monday. Dave Lloyd, Martin
jacobson, l.. j. Palda, Bob Mitten,
E. H. Stenviek, and Vernon and
Chester Jacobson caught 100 perch
in a remarkably short time.

Arthur LeSueur, president of the
Mint commission, won new laurels
when he captured the silver cup Of
fered by A. w. Tracy in the endur-
ance automobile test between Mino;
and Lake Epsilon last Saturday Al
tho fourteen cars entered the contest,
Mr.. LeSueur scored the highest, max
ing practically a perfect record with
his S. ,05O Buick car purchased a year
ago last spring. On the entire jour-
ney of 40 miles,, Mr.. LeSueur was not
compelled to stop for water or gaso-
line or to repair his car in the least.
However, in going over a culvert, his
engine was killed." and he stopped
but 20 seconds to turn the crank and
start again. He made the trip in ex-
actly hours and Is minutes, and
would have done better, had he not
gotten of the road two miles.
From Minot to st. John, distance
OF 1873 miles, he averaged "a miles
an hour and found that he had more
than nhour to make the last seven
miles. He needed nearly all of that
time, however, as that is the rough
est road OF the entire route. He got
in ahead of schedule time, the limit
being IS miles an hour Mr.. Lee
Sueur carried four in his car.
Altho fourteen entered the contest,
but four finished in the required time.
w. H. Reighart was the fourth to
arrive, but scored second and there
seems to be some dispute as to
whether c. E. Bierly or Gov. Bond
secured third place. However, it is
generally believed that Bond should
have third place. S''
Reighart's car was heavily loaded.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reighart and Mr.. and
Mr.. ]. B. Taylor with considerable
baggage rode in this car and they
had no idea that they had chance
to score second. They report the
road from st. John to the lake as be-
ing very rough and under the cir
eamstances, rather hard on the cars.
Arriving at Keavin's cottage, they
were rowed across the lake to the
hotel. Reighart made the 40 miles

Inc above letter was received by
the Independent from Sheriff Soren.
son this morning. We have not had
much time to comment upon it. We
are glad Mr. Sorenson is truthful. and
that MS statements corroborate those
made by the Independent. He does
not deny that the expenses of conduct
ing his office were nose than $4,000
greater than the expense for conduct
ing the office during the last year of
John j. Lees administration. 1t
would not do him any good to deny
The Independent did not charge Mr..
it.
Sorenson with doing anything crooked
We are surprised that she should even
think that we had carged him with
crooked act, when we did not so
much as intimate that there was any
thing of this nature the matter with
his ONCE.
. The sheriff says he stand sreadv at
all times to go into any matter con-
corning his office. The Independent
believes that it has done some good,
already, in stirring up the sheriff to
action, but still the voters will not
understand from the above letter
WHY his office during the year 1909,
with A townships less than Ward
comprised the previous year, and an
election year at that, should be run

Lee ran it. Surely, the cutting off OF
Al townships should not have made
the expense greater. One would nat
urally suppose that the expense would
have been less, and the Independent
believes that under ordinary circu1(l-
stances, the expense would have been
less.
Will Mr.. Sorenson venture to assent
that the expense of conducting the
office with Burke and Renville coun-
ties cut off, will be more or less? 1t
history repeats itself, it is fair for
the voters to suppose that it will be
more.
The sheriff talks about crossing

of Sorenson's doing that A sheriff
who will ride bunch Of deputies all

oners. and then walk them from the
penitentiary to the city OF Bismarck,
two miles away, will not hurt him.
self "crossing palms"
The sheriff prides himself upon
the fact that he has charged no more
than the law allowed him to charge,
but anyone who knows Sorenson'
knows that he is not going to let any
thing get away from him.
Truly Sheriff Sorenson 'ls unquan-
fiedly for law enforcement" and the
collecting OF any and all fees that ne
can possibly ascertain are due him.

IN PARIS RESTAURANTS.
Prices Raised on ALI Articles-Va
ried According to Customer.

Paris Correspondence London Globe.
Using as a pretext the rise in the prices
of wines and provisions, several of the
best restaurants in Paris have, during
the past few months, considerably in
creased their charges. A Fresch barris-
ter, who for five years has lunched and
dined out almost every day, told me that
at restaurant near the Madeleine, where
he has his midday meal-consisting of
hors doeuvre, eggs, chop, salad, cheese,
a half bottle of Bordeaux. and coffee-he
used to pay 5s Cd or IS. Now the charge
is rs.
At a well known restaurant in the Ave
nue. de FOpera the increase in prices Is
even more marked. a luncheon, which
in the spring cost IS Sd, now comes TO
IS cd. If the customer asks the reason
for this difference he is told that 1t is
due to the failure of the wine crop and
the general rise in the prices of pro-
visions. Regular customers at some res
taurantS have not, perhaps. noticed any
difference in their bills. But this is ac-
counted for by the fact that in many
smart establishments there are two
prices, one for PariSianS and another for
foreigners. This was proved not long
ago at a house in the Rue Royale much
frequented by the 'jeunesse doree."
Two Frenchmen asked for strawberries
and were charged sd each for them. At
the next table two English couples were
taking supper. When their bill was pre-
sented the strawberries were marked 81
each, ten times the price paid by the
others. On one of the Englishmen re-
marking that Strawberries must be very
scarce in France, the waiter solemnly
replied that II was very bad year for
fruit, the rain having spoiled all the
crops.
Not only are there separate charges
for Parisians and foreigners, but in es-
Establishments where it is the practice to
modify the bill according to the physiog
nomy of the customer, there is third
price for Americans. To the average
Paris tradesman all Americans are mill
