COLLEGE NOTES.
What is spavin?

Answered by DR.. Van Els, Dean
Veterinary Department Agricultural
college. Spawn is a chronic deform-
ing Inflammation Of the structures
composing the lower parts of the
hook joint. The disease as such is
practically incurable, but by appro-
pirate treatment administered by
skilled veterinarian, the usefulness
Of the horse may be restored.
@. What is the best way to treat
an alkali soil?
Answered by r. C. Doneghue,
Asst. Prof. Soils, Agricultural cal
lege. Alkali soils in North Dakota
are usually caused by poor drainage
which necessitates the removal of
excess water by evaporation. The
salts which are dissolved in this
water are left behind when the
water evaporates. producing an
"a1kali" soil. BY providing DRAIN
age these salts are removed gradu-
ally and the soil becomes productive.
The most satisfactory way to drain
such lands is by undertakings but
surface drainage will do great
deal Of good. The application OF
barnyard manure would be advisable
on small areas which would not war
rant the expense of drainage.
O. What is the best breed Of
chickens for North Dakota?
Answered by o. w. Dynes, In
structor, Agricultural college. There
is no best breed. For the average
farm conditions in the state I would
recommend some variety of a breed
from the general purpose type. The
four prominent breeds of this type
are Plymouth Rock, the Wyandotte.
the Rhode Island Red and the Or
pington.
@. What is the cause for the
crust of cake cracking during bak-
ing?
Answered by Miss Jessie NJ. Hoov-
er, Dean Domestic Science, Agricu.
tural college. May be caused by too
much flour in the dough, or the oven
being too hot may form a hard crust
before the cake Is raised to it's max
imum height. The further expan-
sion of the gas in forcing it's way
out breaks crust.

Attorneys through the state are
interested in the attack recently
made by R. B. Grihith Of Grand
Forks upon Judge Fisk of the SUI
preme court. and according to prom
inent local attorneys, the attack
will probably react in favor OF
Judge Fisk. Among the prominent
attorneys of the state who have al
ready publicly defended Judge Fisk
against the imputations Of Mi,
Griffith is Judge Corliss Of Grand
Forks, who was the attorney at the
time of the temperance commission
er decision and argued in favor of
the sustaining of the law. Notwith-
standing his attitude at that time,
Judge sCorliss says that he Is sat-
fsfied that Judge Fisk acted from
honest and conscientious belief and
he is satisfied that shrdlu cmfwyp
is not to be criticised because he de-
cided the case in accordance with his
Interpretation of the constitution
and the law.
With reference to the general ar
gument of Mr.. Griffith that Judge
Fisk should be opposed by the pro-
hibitfonists, Judge Corliss says:
When Judge Fisk was a candidate
for the supreme bench, gave up six
weeks of my time to the cause Of Sc
curing his election, and contributed
my money to the cause, because 1
knew that he was a man of great
learning, of exceptional judicial abil-
ity, Of perfect judicial temperament,
and was a judge Of integrity and of
courage to stand by his judicial con-
victions, no matter what the co1se-
Quences might be. The fight to put

that will pass the supreme court
hence the importance Of the person.
mel OF the supreme bench"
Ia other words, every other con-
sideration is to be subordinated to
the selection of Judges who will sus
tain the constitutionality OF a new
temperance commissioner law. One
would think, from the bitterness of
the attack ON Judge Fisk, that the
sole function Of a judge Of. the su-
preme court was to deal with liquor
cases. AS a matter of fact, the deci.
sion Of liquor cases Is q minor mat
ter when all the great duties and
functions Of court Of last resort
are considered. I trust I shall never
become SO narrow on any question
that I will turn the qualifications of
a Judge for the bench: upo1 his sup
posed attitude towards a single one
of the multitudinous questions that
are destined to come before him.
A prominent Official of the state
declared to the Tribune in discus
sing this attack upon Judge Fisk
that he believed the bar Of the state
would almost without exception rally
to the support Of Judge Fisk, not
because of his known attitude on
any particular question, but
because the members Of the bar be-
lieved he was. fair, learned ia the
law and could be- relied upon to de-
eide cases with no other object than
to fairly interpret the law as he
found it, and that such an attitude
was what the lawyers of the state
wanted.

The Sixth United States cavalry, a res1-

or Tuesday, after having completed three
years service in the Philippines.
This makes the third tour OF duty for the
sixth cavalry in the Philippines and China
The regiment was organized in the fall
Of 1861 and was then known as the Baby
Regiment" from the fact that the average
Of the men comprising the original reg1-

Among the men who enlisted as private
soldiers in the regiment in 1861 were Adna
X. Chaffee, now lieutenant general, retired;
Samuel NJ. whiteside. retired as brigadier

Lysie L Abbott, eounsel for Marmaduke

to havs'a receiver appointed for the Long
Distance Independent Telephone company,
tells shs story of the suit offhand, much
more Interestingly than ihe, court petition
does. = rN
In the beginning, Mr. Abbott says. the
present suit has nothing Whatever TO do
with the proposed reorganization OF the
Independent Telephone company OF Omaha.
except thai they touch at ono point.
"one OF the ten contracts spoken OF In
our petition Is with the Omaha company, -
says Mr.. Abbott. and II Is about the
best contract for such purposes that /
ever saw. II was secured while Stowe was
president Of the omAha company, and by
virtue Of that contract the representative
OF the New state company had a suite OF
rooms In the Independent cOmpany's build
ing and from there the New state Tsle-
phone company is t~ransaoting les business
in this section"
Getting down TO the matter OF the petit
ton for a receiver. Mr., Abbott grows ex-
ceedinsly interesting, and Il is easy to see
that he feels IN mis- soul some slight adj
miration for the series OF movements by
which his clients and other were left high

meeting a resolution was passed offering
to turn over to the Central Construction
company all the property, contracts, assets,
bills due, e~verything-if the Central Com
struction company would take them and
call 1t quits.
"Then CockeriT, Head and Smith, ad-
journing as the Long Distance Independent
Telephone company, after passing that
resolution by unanimous vote, met as the
Central Construction company, and by a
similar unanimous vote cockerill, Head and
Smith accepted the ,offeC OF the Long Dis
lance Independent Telephone company and
took over its business. This meeting was
probably held n a different corner of the
same room but. of course that's imma-
terial.
COckeriII, Head and smith.
Then, having so smoothly acquired the
property and contracts Of the Long Dis
lance Independent Telephone company,
without the knowledge Of my clients or
other stockholders, who had preferred
stock, Cockerill, Head and Smith, with his
million dollars worth of property in their
possession. transferred the same to the
New state Telephone company, an Iowa
corporation. The men in control OF this
company and constituting It's board of d.
rectors were Cockerill. Head and Smith.
Now, we allege that Cockerill, Head and
Smith knew all the ti4e that Cockeril.
Head and Smith were shifting that prop
erty around, through themselves and BY
themselves, in a manner not allowed OF
c-ountenanced by law" CMr, Abbott used

when Charles G. Cockerlll, Charles H.
Smith and NJ. M. Head began their cam
paign they were in control of the indie
pendent Telephone company of Sioux City"
says Mr.. Abbott Then they organized
the Long Distance Independent Telephone
company, a Nebraska corporation. They
started out and secured contracts with ten
independent telephone companies valuable
contracts. as we maintain. the one with
the Omaha company being worth hundreds
of thousands OF dollars.
They had provided that there should be
two kinds OF stock, preferred and common.
The preferred stock was of two classes
A and B.. The holders OF common stock
were to have full control of all the af-
fairs Of the company, ana this common
stock Cockerih. Head and Smith kept for
themselves.
After the ten contracts with Independent
companies were secured the Central Con
struction company was organized under the
laws OF Nebraska. Then Cockerill, Head
and Smith, as the board Of directors Of the
Long Distance Independent Telephone com
pany entered into a contract with the Cen

directors also consisted OF Cockerill, Head
