Armour & Co. are said to be considering the prop
osition of building cold storage plant in Minot
and making this city distributing point. At first
thought one might conclude that this would be
pretty good thing for Minot but in reality, it would
be the worst thing that could happen to farmers,
and to those who consume meat here. Armour
puts in this plant, what does it mean? Does it
mean that cattle and hogs will be butchered here
and that hundreds of men will be employed in
this work? No. 1t means simply that the cattle
and hogs that are raised in North Dakota will be
shipped to Minneapolis, where they will be butchered
and the dressed meat shipped to Minot to be placed
in cold storage until the consumers demand it.
1t means that the farmers will not have good
opportunity of disposng OF their cattle and hogs
to local butchers they have now for If Armour
4, Co. do as they have done in scores of other
places. they will compel the local dealers to buy
their meats exclusively from them, experience
the installation of an Armour meat market two
here, which could soon force our local dealers to
the wall The farmer would have practically no
chance dispose of his stock, except In car load
lots and our meat consumers would have to pay
the freight both ways Perhaps one or two men
would be employed in 1oeking after the business Of
the Armour company here. The less Of such enter
prises we have in Minot, the better.

Dudley Nash, out states attorney, has reduced
the number Of blind pig prosecutions in Ward coun-
ty about fifty per meet. It was necessary during
the early part of his administration to go after
these law violators with hammer and tongs, and up
to date, he has convicted eighty-one piggers. Mr..
Nash does not claim that blind pgging has entirely
ceased in Ward county, but it is down to the mini
mum and hereafter this business will be controlled
with ease. Mr.. Nash believes that an excellent
plan for the sheriff to follow would be to install
good deputy sheriff in nearly every locality in the
county, and in this way, the business would be nip
ped in the bud. Pggers would not be nearly so apt
to violate the law when they knew that the chances
were that they would be nabbed early in the game
Not bad idea. ~ z.

Young man, how long has it been since you wrote
to your dear old mother Don't you know that
her dear old heart is almost breaking? Thousands
OF young men come out west to seek their fortunes
and in their daily strife to get ahead, they
to forget their old home ties and neglect to write
to those who yearn for them day by day. Their
letters grow less and less frequent until in time
they neglect to write at all. Perhaps they grow
discouraged at not being able to achieve success
they planned and oh, how easy it is to take
the downward path when separated from a mothers
influence! Now young man, II you happen to be
one OF those thotlesa youths who has become
neglectfu, sit down today and write your dear old
mother few lines. Perhaps she doesn't even know
your address. The Independent receives letters
every few days from mothers who are worried
almost to distraction because Of the neglect of
thotless son. We publish a letter received
this week from a Massachusetts mother, and if
the happens to read these lines, we trust that
he will not delay in quietlng the fears Of this poor
woman: .'@a

My son, aged 20, Clifford l.. Vning, was working
ranch Tagus Ray last August and at
that time, he wrote regularly. He said he would be
home they were through harvesting and
would surely be home by Christmas. He did not
give the name Of the of the ranch, so 1
know OF one to write to- He sent the last letter
from Foxhom, N. D., Sept. 8, and in that one
he informed me that he would be home by December
1st wrote to both addresses but the letters were
returned, and wrote to the postmaster but never
received any answer, so l thot maybe could get
trace Of him thru your paper + am nearly
frantic. He has always been a good steady boy,
and wrote every week two. It seems to me that
he has met with foul play, he would have written

The following from the Wtliston Graphic, will be
read with considerable interest. inasmuch
as it has considerable say about the expenses of
conducting the Office of register OF deeds OF Ward
county. If the figures given below are correct,
then it that the expenses Of this Ward county
office are much higher than they should be- II
Mr. Reishus has any explanation to make, as to
why his expenses SO much higher than those OF
the register of deeds of Williams county, when the
receipts are about the same shall be glad to
hear from him!
We have before the reports of Gunder S.
Retshus register of deeds Of Ward county, for the
month OF February and the report of L. o. Higley,
register of deeds of this county, for the month OF
March. In looking the reports we noticed
that the receipts almost the same for the two
offices, but the expense was much grsater in Ward,
and could not refrain from calling the atten-
ton of our tax payers to the difference. The re-
ceipts for the Ward county office for the month OF
February amounted to $2,15e.75, while the receipts
in this county for March s2,155.o0, making
difference of but $1.75 in the receipts. In the ex
penses however, there great difference. Out
side Of the salaries the expenses here greater
Ward county's being $103.56, while here they were
$685. or s95.97 than Ward. In the salary
position, however, Ward countys expenses were
much heavier. The register in Ward county has
fourteen clerks and the salaries paid to them and
the register and deputy amounted to $1262.26,
while Williams county only paid $73666, this includ
ing the registers salary. This shows that 1t cost
Ward county $52660 more to do the same amount
of work that it did Williams county Fourteen
clerks and a deputy were employed in the Ward
county office to do this work. while Williams county
employed six clerks and deputy to do the same
amount. There eight clerks empoyed in the
register of deeds office here, but two Of these,
during the month of March, were transcribng the
Numerical records Still the profit for the county
above all expenses and after paying these two ex-
ira clerks $1,21941, while that of Ward county
was S799.S3. The amount of work was the same
as shown by the receipts and Mr.. Hgley succeeded
in doing with six clerks and deputy what Ward
county employed fourteen clerks a deputy to
accomplish. !

MUNICIPAL LEAGUE ACTION.

The meeting of the mayors at Logan
adjourned on Tuesday, after decided
ly profitable session. The important ad-
dresses at the final days session were
delivered by Mayor Bransford and DR..
T. B. Beatty of this city, Mayor
Bransford discussed a number of inter.
csting matters, among them the com
mission plan OF government, the pur-
pose OF which, as he properly points
out, is to take away from the people
as much as possible the participation
in and control Of their municipal gov.
ernment He also referred to the con.
stitutional inhibition of the selection
of commissions for municipal purposes,
thus directing attention TO the point
that our constitution and laws, as
placed in the statute books. are all
framed with a view TO our present
form of municipal government, and far
reaching changes would have to be
made in order to adapt them to the
commission form.
Dr. Beatty dwelt emphatcally upon
the Importance and need of public sani
tation, urging the mayors of the differ
ent cities to use their influence and
power to do everything possible in this
direction under the present statutes
and to urge moro efficient legislation
In the same direction, The fact that
the queries and discussion following DR..
Beatty's address consumed more time
than that occupied in its delivery shows
the great interest awakened by his
paper.
The report on public taxation Of the
committee appointed by reason of DR.,
Thomas S paper on that subject was of
practical Importance. The report was
unanimously adopted. 1t asks In be-
half of the Municipal League that the
governor investigate the taxing
systems Of the State through a commit
tee which is TO report before De-
cember Is, 1910, furnishing sufficient
number Of copies of the report for use
as basis of discussion in the league
The session was an important one.
Good and practical results should fol
low from IT., There is no question of
the benefit TO be derived in this sort
Of meeting and discussion, and the
fullest publicity should be given to the
proceedings by the newspapers in the
State, In particular, we note a singu-
lar ignoring of matters of this kind
generally by the newspapers. The Trib-
unc took pains to get good and fairly
full reports of this meeting, and we
offer the same TO the press of the
State for use, trusting that they viii
copy as much of them as they possibly
can, and use the reports as their own.

have such hall, Perhaps it would be
we'll to abolish it. The question is one
that ought TO be thoroughly discussed
and settled on some proper basis. Sure
". however, it would seem reasonable
that if such n hall is to be porpctuated.
there should be some degree Of taste
and artistic ability insisted upon in
tho statues TO occupy places IN that
hall. it is true that a good many Of
those statues are poor stuff in execu.
ton. One would hardly volunteer to
show to n person of tastc and dIscrim-
ination that group of statuary as some
thing representative Of American art.
At the same time. it is an inyidious
attack upon n State as we'll as upon the
person, to make objection to snch n pa
triot, soldier, and State. builder rs Col
Shoup, and we regret that any paper
has seen fit TO do so, The whole ques.
tion should be threshed out and set
tied on other lines than those of per
sonalities and of small objections from
persons who simply are ignorant of the
merits OF the personalities under re
view. If the matter is left to the
States alone, it is clear that both tastc
and loyal sentiment will be offended.
On the other hand, if there is TO be
n supervisory authority capable Of re-
lecting on loyal or artistic grounds
statues offered, then it is likely that
the States would be enraged, and would
fail to present any statues subject to
such supervision. And if tho final
Judgment is to be that the Statuary
Hall should be abrogated, perhaps that
would be Just as well.
