THE TARIFF, STEERS AND THE
Farmer

Minot Reporter: I'm the early sum
mer of 1897 Charles Fowler, who
lives up the river from Minot, came
in to buy mower. He went to Mar
tin Jacobson, the biggest machinery
dealer here, and bought machine
for $45. Now, on Monday of this
week Fowler came to MinOt again
and went to Jacobson's and said he
would have to buy new mower as
the old one was repaired SO often 1t
was worn out. After looking the ma
chimes over and noting the many i'm
provements made in thirteen years,
he said he would buy one of the same
make as the old one, but, finding the
price to be $50, he complained of the
different between the present price
and the price of thirteen years ago.
which was actually twenty-five per
cent. A dispute arising as to the
price paid thirteen years before, JAG
OLSON looked up the account OF the
sale and found the price as Fowler
had said it was, $45, but he found
also that instead Of paying the price
in cash Fowler agreed to give, and
actually did give Jacobson two three
year-old steers to- be delivered on
September goth, 1897, and which
steers Fowler said would weigh 1900
pounds each. This put Jacobson to
thinking, and he said:
care your three-year-old steers as
good this year as they were thirteen
years ago?' and Fowler said, Yes, at
least as good
livery WE'LL said Jacobson, I will
now make you this proposition: I will
take two 1900 pound steers on Sep
TENDER goth next, and in return
will give you this mower, price $780,
and also give you this first-class
wheel rake, price 1872, and, as you are
now growing corn, I will also give
you this two-horse cultivator that will
cultivate two rows at a time, and
which, as you can see, has a spring
seat on which you can ride, price $1S,
also will give you this first-class
single harness, price $25, making $135
worth of goods in all, and all for the
two three-year-old steers
"Fowler's answer was to take out
his check-book and write Jacobson a
check for $780,"

GROWING INTEREST

That the Sunday services are grow
ing in interest at the Baptist church
is the remark of an observer. One
wholesome feature is the increase on
the part of visitors to worship at this
church, last Sunday being especially
noticeable.
The patrons of the evening services
are promised a musical treat for
next Sunday evening, as the service
will be very largely musical in ma
ture.

ALLOWANCE OF BUILDING
DEPARTMENT INCREASED
Salary of Efficient EmpIoye Is
Raised and Engineer Is
Added to Staff

Increases of salaries or the creation
of new positions that carry salaries
with them are as hard to get from the
present council as they were easy from
the preceding council, but j. j. Back
us, superintendent of buildings, ac-
complished both yesterday.
AS a result the building department
will have q new Official to be known
as structural steel engineer, at sal
ary of $175 a month, and the concrete
engineer gets an increase in salary
from $3.50 to $175 month.
The supply committee had recon-
mended that the structural engineers
position be created at salary of $3.50
a month. Mr.. Backus convinced the
council that this was too little, as a
private corporation would pay 5000 a
crete engineer in the city's employ was
the best one in the city and there was
danger of losing his services unless his
salary was raised.
Betkoush was strongly opposed to
both measures.

News of the Courts
JUDGE MAY Be ASKED
TO CLASSIFY GARBAGE
Question Determining When Ref
use Is Private Property to
Be Settled in Court

Judging from the arguments in Judge
Hutton's court yesterday on the gar
bage question, it Is possible that an
exhibit of garbage may be necessary in
order to discern when garbage Is just
garbage and when it is private prop
erty. On that question will hinge the
validity of the new city garbage ordi-
nance.
For several days the suit of Boos
Bros. and p. J. Durham against the city
for habeas corpus proceedings and
restraining order have been in progress
in department four of the superior
court, and the great question promises
to hold the center of the legal stage
for several more days.
Durham seeks to have his henchman,
Henry Larimer, arrested for gathering
garbage without a permit-which he
could not secure anyhow-released by
habeas corpus proceedings. Boos Bros.
want the new city ordinance relegated
to the garbage pile in order that they
may gather garbage from about six OF
the leading hotels and restaurants.
A brilliant array OF legal talent has
been engaged by both sides, including
Guy Eddie for the city. The latter in
sists on the habeas corpus proceedings
and the restraining order application
being held separately. The court has
granted him lIllS OplhAolJ buN ~ 10 10
tain that both decisions will hinge on
the one set of arguments, which are
sufficiently voluminous in the opinion
of about fifty witnesses.
These witnesses are mostly wealthy
ho,el and restaurant men who will
speak for the plaintiffs. The defend
ants, however, have subpoenaed them
for witnesses also, and when the testi-
mony commences the preliminary en-
gagement promises to pale into insig-
nificance.
Hundreds OF decisions favoring the
plaintiffs were quoted from an array
of law books which covered the attor-
ney's desk in Judge Huttons court.
The arguments will be resumed this
morning, but 1t was announced last
evening that the witnesses will not be
required until o'clock this afternoon.

WIFE, SPURNED BY HUSBAND,
GETS DIVORCE FOR CRUELTY
Mrs. Minnie Marquard Granted
Decree by Judge HOuSer

Mrs. Minnie Marquard was granted
an interlocutory decree of divorce from
Frederick A. Marquard by Judge Hou-
ser yesterday on the grounds of
cruelty. The plaintiff alleged that the
defendant had deserted her. also, but
the court allowed the decree on the
other charge.
TIL plaintiff said that her husband
left her in Los Angeles about two
years ago and went to San Francisco
with their one child. 1t developed that
she had left him previously because
for three weeks he refused to
talk to her. She introduced a
letter in court from her husband in
reply to one she had sent saying she
would return to him.
"You must be dreaming if you think
1 want you to return" he wrote in
reply, and ne went on to say how he
and the boy were getting along fine
without her. On hearing the contents
of the letter the court granted her a
decree.

PAY-AS-Y0U-ENTER CARS
WILL BE PUT ON IN MAY
Officials Expect Plan to Operate
for Better Service

Pay-as-you-ente cars will be put on
the Los Angeles lines beginning May
10. Twenty-seven cars have been re-
constructed on the pay-as-you-enter
plan and will run on the Central av-
enue line. All the other cars of the
Los Angeles railway will be made on
this plan as fast as they can be taken
out of service and rebuilt.
This announcement was made 10 the
city council yesterday by ]. ]. Aiken
general manager of the Los Angeles
railway, in explaining why the railway
company wanted the smoking ordin-
ance amended to prohibit smoking eX-
cept on the front end of the car In
stead Of the rear, as is now the case.
"All the eastern roads allow smoS-
ing only on the front ends, said Mr.
Aiken, land with the pay-as-you-e
cars il is almost necessary or there
will be no place for the smokers Pas
sengers are not allowed to ride on the
rear of the cars except in times OF
unusually heavy travel.
"Mr. Huntington has come to the
conclusion that the pay-as-you- ENTER
cars largelY solve the traffic problem
and it is his intention to have all the
cars equipped in this manner as soon
as It can be done. Twenty-seVen cars
will be ready for the Central avenue
line Nav 10. The new cars are A feet
long, while the present style cars are
only 3s feet. There is only one en-
trance That is the rear platform.
There are two exits protected by gates
and these gates are controlled by the
motorman. No one can try to get OF
the car until the gates are opened
This will prevent many accidents"
The question of changing the smOk-
ing ordinance was referred to the
legislation committee.

SAN PEDRO DISTRICT IS
COSTLY TO LOS ANGELES
Reduction of Tax Rate Before the
Consolidation Is Cause

Los Angeles got a gold brick when it
acquired San Pedro" said Councilman
Betkouslzi yesterday morning. Just
before consolidation the San Pedro
trustees reduced the tax rate from 20
to SO cents and reduced the assessment
25 per cent in spite of increased valu-
alton. They did it for the purpose of
putting Los Angeles in hole, and we
are there, all right"
Although Los Angeles is running the
government of San Pedro at cost or
$500 a month less than it was run
under the administration of the trus-
tees. it is necessary for Los Angeles to
appropriate money every month to keep
up the branch at San Pedro. 1t will
require about $4,000 from the city
treasury, in addition to the amount
turned over by San Pedro at the time
of consolidation, to carry the govern
ment until July l, the beginning of the
fiscal year.

GROCER is FINED

C. w. Roby. owner of a small gro

the state board of pharmacy swore
to the complaint against Roby after
buying some medicine from him on the
pretext that he had malaria. The state
law provides that grocers whose place
of business is three miles or more
from the nearest drug store may carry
a supply of household drugs and med
icines. Roby's store is only four
