Cooperstown Courier 1t has beer
known that Fargo and Grand Fork:

sense by the presence OF saloons along
the western Minnesota border. Bust

of those towns, to the hotels, and to
other sources in an enormous aggre.
gate by the attractions of the border
liquor interests. The prohibition law
of North Dakota has done much to
increase the business traffic of those
towns both directly and indirectly,
and other towns in the interior of the
state, where prohibition has been in
force, have lost the trade which has
been secured by other towns reaping
the commercial advantages arising
from the sale of liquor in Minnesota.
If the United States government
should extend the area of prohibition
to the counties bordering the Red
river in Minnesota, as it Is reported
it may do, the prohibition element
of both states will have secured an.
other victory. 1t is something that is
we'll worth working for in the inter

North Dakotans spend a great deal
of money in attempting to enforce
their prohibition laws, and no one
opposition is so grea, as the liquor
interests maintained along the west

those points have been the means of

NOW this new secretary" continued

BOISE. Idaho. Feb. 19.-In the trial
of William F. Kettenbach, George Kes-
ter and William Dwyer, charged with
conspiracy to defraud the government

ceedings against entries and then in
duce entrymen to relinQuish - their
lands for a consideration. Five wit
nesses testified to being approached by

to make stake out of this timber
land. There are enough chair warmers
sitting around here who can be brought
UP to file on all of it,
Andrew A Sherborn, also of Clarks-
ton. said that Dwyer approached him.,
but he told him he had exhausted his
rights, whereupon Dwyer said: That
doesn't make any difference; you can

opera tion of the Wilson coal companys s
mines near Centralia. Lewis county,
Washington, on report that the COM

WORSHIP OF BURNS BY
SCOTS PROVES UNIQUE
Bard Held in Veneration by His
COuntrymen

Washingtons birthday may be cele-
brated in America and other heroes of
the west often recalled, but there is
nothing of American origin akin to the
devotion of the Scot to his Burns. The
Scottish temperament is less excitable
than the French, even than the German
and the italian. and the traditional
"guid conceit o. oursel's' of th< Scot
pales it's Intellectual fire before the self
conceit of the American. Whence, then
this exceptional display of the other
wise limited fervor of the Scots on the
Burns anniversary? No sufficing an
swer can be obtained to this query.
