SELLING FARMS BY AUCTION
New System of North Dakota Realty
Dealers a Success.

The selling Of farms by auction
promises to do away eventually with
the present method of personal sale by
contract. The plan has been tried at
Nome with signal success.
The average price for the farms
which were sold there was $50 an
acre, although one particularly fine
piece of land, with good improve.
ments, brought SIS an acre.
The plan followed was the adver.
Using of the sale and the issuing of an
illustrated catalogue of the farms to
be auctioned. These were sent to
prospective buyers that they might
note their first and second choice of
land. When they arrived at Nome
they were taken out in automobiles
and shown the land they preferred,
Two days were spent at this work and
then the auction was held.
The first farm offered for sale
brought $64 an acre. The bidding was
spirited, as many had set their minds
upon securing the same piece of prop.
erty. This kept the prices above the
ordinary and proved more satisfactory
than the contract for deed plan.
Real estate dealers who put on the
sale say they will continue this meth
cd in the future.

PRESIDENT TAFT PLEASED
Finds Situation on the Canal Zone
Satisfactory.

Panama, Nov. 15.-President Taft's
first day on the isthmus was spent at
the house of Lieutenant Colonel Goe-
thals, chief engineer of the canal, in
going over detailed reports of the
progress OF the work and in consult
ing the chiefs of departments. The
president expressed himself as greatly
pleased, especially I'VE the fact that
the recent landslides in Culebra cut
are not regarded here as serious.
The president landed at Colon from
the armored cruiser Tennessee after a
splendid voyage, during which he kept
within wireless touch of the Mexican
situation.
The canal officials met the presi-
dent, and the party proceeded to Col
ronel Cocktails house at Culebra, where
he was in conference most OF the after

ence in behalf Of the shipping inter-
ests. The question IT Notifications

Big STRIKE is ENDED
Express Company Employees Re-
turn to Work.

New York, Nov. 15.-Four thousand
striking express men went back to
work here, wearing their union but
tons conspicuously. For the first time
in two weeks the LOO teams of the
Adams, Wells-Fargo, United States
and American Express companies trav-
eled unhampered in ali directions
about Manhattan, Brooklyn, Jersey
City and Hoboken. Slowly the great
congestion of freight express packages
is being relieved.
The company officials objected at
first to the wearing of the union but
tons. The expressmen explained, how
ever, that if they did lot wear the
buttons they would be taken for strike
breakers by teamsters and others be-
longing to other unions and trouble
would undoubtedly result. The Off
Gals appeared to be satisfied and the
men were promptly enrolled.
A dispute took place on the Com
munipaw dock of the United States
Express company, adjoining the New
Jersey Central railroad station, when
the company objected to ten former
employees. AS the ten men were not
re-engaged the other strikers refused
to work and everything was at a stand.
still. Later the trouble was adjusted
and the strikers returned to work.

IN NORTH DAKOTA
News Of the Week From Vari.
Gus Parts Of the State.
NO DOUBT AS TO THE RESULT
Election of Governor John Burke for
the Third Time Conceded
the Republicans.

Governor Burke has again shown
his ability as a campaigner by being
elected a third time governor of North
Dakota. His election is conceded by
Chairman Talcott of the Republican
state central committee, after hearing
pretty definitely from a number of
counties whose majorities could only
be estimated up to the time Of obtain
ing accurate figures.
On the total returns it is probable
that Burke's majority will be consid-
erably smaller than it was two years
ago..
Rolette, Walsh and Stutsman coun-
ties swung the balance from nearly
an even break to about 1900 for
Burke. Rolette county, which was re-
ported early to give a Democratic ma
jority of less than 200, returned a ma
jority of 6O2, a gain of yer 400 for
Burke. Walsh county, which was esti-
mated at something less than 300Afor
Burke, finally came in with over 500,
and Stutsman, which had been figured
by the chairman of the county central
committee at something less than 800
for Burke, finally showed a Democratic
majority of over coo. The increase in
these three alone was more than 1000
from the majorities as reported and
estimated before the final returns.
Johnson failed to bring out as heavy
a vote as was predicted for him in his
home county and the surrounding ter
ritory.
Stutsman county, the home of
James Buchanan, defeated insurgent
candidate for the nomination as gov
ernor before the June primaries,
seems to have been the banner Burke
county of the state.
The legislature is heavily Repub.
lican, ensuring the election of Repub.
lican United States senators. Both
Republican candidates for congress
were elected.

BECAUSE OF TEXAS LYNCHlNG
Cause of Anti-American Demonstra-
tons in Mexico.

Mexico City, Nov. 11.-Intense anti
American feeling is prevalent here
and troops and police are on guard
all over the city, keeping the crowds
from collecting and endeavoring, in a
passive way, to safeguard the inter.
ests of American citizens.
The American colony is wrought up
over attacks on American citizens,
during which an American flag was
torn, spat upon and reviled. This in
dignation is made worse by the fact
that the Mexican government had am.
pie warning that the anti-American
outbreak was to be expected and made
no provision whatever to prevent it.
Ambassador Wilson has made strong
representations to the Mexican Off
Gals, who have promised to protect
Americans and to punish those guilty
of insulting the American flag.
The rioting followed bitter attacks
that have been made by the Mexican
press upon America and Americans,
following the burning at the stake in
Texas on Nov. 5 of Antonio Rodri.

SHERIFF UNEARTHS SCHEME
Finds Unique Plan to Evade Prohibit.

ton Law.
A scheme for the disposal of LIQUOR
contrary, at least, to the spirit Of the
North Dakota prohibition law, was un-
earthed in Harvey by Sheriff Lyness
when he raided the quarters of the
Moose lodge, placing Dan Nash, al
legged to be the barkeeper, under ar.
rest.
A complete outfit for a saloon con-
Quoted on the coupon plan was con-
fiscated. Liquor. too. was found and
the authorities say that when they
entered the lodge room several men
were being served liquor in the reg
ulation manner.
If the conditions existing are in &C.
cordance with the allegations of the
sheriff then the Moose lodge of Har-
vey had n of the most elaborate
plans of evading the prohibition law
invented. From the books and rec
crds of the organization the entire
plan is unfolded. Instead of using
cash in payment of liquor it is charged
that the members used coupon books
running from 81 to IS in a book. The
lodgeroom was equipped with glasses
and a place to keep liquors.
The outside entrance to the room
was kept securely locked, but each
member had a key, receiving it at the
time he joined the organization. The
name of Fred Lilly, Harvey's chief of
police. was found on the membership
roll, eleventh from the top. The books
showed about sixty members, each in
possession of a key at the time of
the raid.
Ii the records maintained are cor
rect the amount of liquor disposed of
was large and there should be a sur
plus. If anybody was getting this sur
plus the officials propose to make fur
