that dissatisfaction. The popular idea
was that the men were demanding a
minimum wage of 81 a day, but this
was only broad generalization.
The administration of the state rail-
way system gives the following de-
tails as to average wages paid in
1909:
Engine drivers of the first class
fixed wages, $4,000 a year, with ad-
ditions, making total Of $929.1S.
Engine drivers Of the seventh class
the begfnners)-ixed wages, $500;
total, $61O.75.
Firemen of the first CLASSIFIED
wages, $3.50; total, $6O6.6O.
Ftremen Of the seventh CLASSIFIED
wages, 500; total, $3S3.20.
Thus the daily wage for the 313
days which constitute years mini
mum work, has averaged for drivers
from s2.97 to $1.95. for the firemen
from S1.94 to $1.22.
The addition to the fixed wage is
made up of grants for economical
working and for being moved from
place to place, and of bonus at the
end Of each year. But the figures do
not include the grants made through
the institutions patronales, or en-
ployers' societies, through which a
sum Of from ten to twelve per cent of
the amount Of wages is paid by the
company toward pension fund, and
through which the railway worker
gets transportation free or at greatly
reduced rates for himself and FAM
lily, free medical advice and medicine,
the opportunity of buying food and
other things at cooperative prices, &C.
Advantages to Workers.
Other advantages over ordinary la
borers are full pay during four
months illness or half pay for the
following three months and the op-
portunity of placing his children in
employment.
The state railway gives the follow
ing rate Of pay for Paris and the su-
burbs. these figures referring to the
period from May to September, 1910:
Engine drivers, $3.01 day; fire.
men, $1.74 day. The best men have
earned $4.15 day for driving; $2.1O
for firing. The poorest have received
$2.15 and $1.59. respectively.
An engine driver can look forward
on entering the service to the GER
tainty of reaching an annual wage Of
$S4O, an indemnity for living in Paris
of 500, a premium at the years end
of $35. premiums for economical
working, $194.20; other grants, $5s
and 1852; total, $1,237, or $3.92 day.
A fireman can count upon the GER
tainty of reaching total of $SO3.60 a
year, or $257 a day. A minimum
pension is given to drivers at so years
of age after 25 years service of $517,
and to firemen of $32S.

which DR.. Tompkins states that
Gov. Burke failed to appoint to
the state board Of dental exam
iners member that was recon-
mended by the State Dental as
sociation because the recommen-
dations were not sent in by the
secretary in time. He says the
appointment was made April 4,
1908 while Al matter of fact
the retiring members term did
not expire until June 2, 1909. Be-
ing the retiring member, not a
Democrat and not seeking the re-
appointment, took little interest
in the matter though I am natur-
ally in a position to know when
the term expired having my COM
mission hanging on my wall.

the appointment. He made

General Hitchoock's plan Of requiring

Postmaster General Hitchcock does
not favor, under present conditions,

If the Republicans fail to elect C. A. John
son, their nominee for governor this time, it
will be many years before Western North
Dakota will have another opportunity to do
50. Mr.: johnson was candidate two years
ago and he was defeated by small majority.
The conditions this year are very much diff
ferent. Two years ago, certain politicians
were going up and down the state spreading
the report that Mr.. johnson did not stand
well in his home city and county. This no
doubt had it's effect. Since that time the peo-
pie have had chance to investigate and they
tHs
ticaly every citizen of Minot is boosting for
him, and that the Minot citizen who is knock
ing him, is considered very disloyal indeed.
A boost for C. A. johnson means boost for
Minot's Normal school. It means boost for
the Republican party. It means great deal
for western North Dakota. The Independent
predicts his election by from ten to twenty
thousand majority.

We remember not long ago that L. D. Nc
Gahan, publisher Of the Democrat, was de-
voting columns of valuable space in lambast-
ing President LIE Sueur and other members
of the council, because they allowed the
Mnot Light & Telephone Co. to operate here
under exorbitant prices, as the Democrat al
legged. McGahan finally was elected city
commissioner and while he was elected to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation of
Police Commissioner Kelley, the other men,
bers Of commission thot that he should be
given an opportunity of doing what he had
complained the commissioners had not done,
viz. persuade the Minot Light & Telephone
Co. to reduce their rates, so shifted the posi-
tons and made McGahan Commissioner of
Streets and Public improvements. Mac has
been on the job for several weeks, and his
many admirers want to know when he is 60
ing to compel the reduction in the price of
electricity We notice that the Democrat
has had very little to say concerning the
matter of late.

II do not believe that the fight that the
Reporter is making on c: A. Johnson is going
to hurt his chances for governor around
Minot, but it is likely to have it's effect in
other parts Of the state" a we'll known In
surgent Republican said to the Independent
editor. No one in Minot is surprised that
the Reporter is making fight on Mr.. John
son. Sam Clark, editor of the Reporter
never forgives and never forgsts as Major
Murphy would say, and he simply cannot for
give Mr.. Johnson for tn. part that he took
in the fight that changed Minot's form of
government. Two years ago, it will be re-
nembered that the Reporter, with Mr.. Clark
as editor and publisher, supported Mr.. John
son for Governor. That paper had some very
nice things to say about the candidate at
that time, and no doubt at that time, the ed
itor was giving his true opinion of Mr.. John
son, and inasmuch as Mr.. Johnson has done
nothing since that time to warrant attacks
upon him, the voters of Minot and the, state
generally, treat the fight which the Reporter
IS making on Johnson, not very seriously.
True one or two other Democratic papers in
the state are copying Clark's editorials, but
then we don't expect the Republican nomi-
nee for gov ernor to win without some opposi-
ton. If Mr.. Johnson had bag Of money
and wanted to spend it as some Of the OPP
position newspapers are reported to have
suggested, even what little opposition there
is to his candidacy might possibly be wiped
out But Mr.. johnson has positively refused
to luy the press and the money hungry edi-
tors will no doubt keep on with their ex-
tremely amusing attacks.

The Democrats are preparing to wage quite
battle in Ward county and it may yet be-
hoove certain Republican nominees to pre-
pare to fight. O.. L. Toftner, prominent
cratic nominee for County Auditor, is out af-
ter Louis A. Larson's scalp and Olaf says he
is going to get it. A. D. Hagenstein, the
Democratic nominee for County Treasurer,
will make a strenuous campaign and says
that L. P. Weatherwax, the Republican NOM
inee, will know that he has had opposition.
The county being much smaller than Of old,
the Democrats believe that by making
house to house canvass, they can at least get
a look in. The Democrats claim from a
fourth to a third Of the votes in the county
under normal conditions, and hope to win
over enough of the Republicans to elect some
of their candidates.

The city of Minot has 6188 people accord
ing to the census returns received a few days
census retul ms in the state. North Minot
has population of 432, making total for
the two places of $3.50. While this is disap-
pointment to many who believed that the total
for the two would not fall short Of 5000, the
growth during the past ten years is shown to
be remarkable The census of ten years ago
showed that Minot had but 1877, hence the
gain is 49l1. In 1890, Minot had a popula-
ton of but SIS, making gain of b613 in
twenty years. If in the next ten years our
city shows as healthy growth as during the
past decade, we will be satisfied.

The Independent desires to call attention
to communication appearing IN another
column of this issue, from the pen of Dr.. r.
W. Pence, City Health officer and milk in
spector. A number of our farmer friends
feel little aggrieved over the fact that be-
fore their milk can be sold in this city, it be-
comes necessary to have their mich COWS
tested for tuberculosis: Our farmers should
consider that tuberculosis, the most dreaded
of all diseases, is spreading rapidly, and it is
a positive fact that human beings, and
especially children, contract this disease
largely thru the drinking of milk from tubu-
cular CATTLE Dr. Seed who has tested a
number Of the herds furnishing milk for this
city makes the startling statement to the In
dependent editor, that out of the lot he has
found fifty COWS that showed a reaction from
the tubucUlar test. Thirteen COWS out OF 45
in one herd showed unquestionable evidences
from the herd The head of one Of the
herds, 1000 pound ANIMAL showed re-
action. About the only thing that can be
done with such cattle is to fatten them and
butcher them under the direction of a gov
eminent Inspector. Sometimes under favor
able conditions, cows recover from this
disease and after the proper test, may again
enter the herd No conscientious farmer
would like to sell milk from tubucular cows.
No one desires in any way to be responsible
for the death of our little ones The fair
even tho it does cost little: There is posi-.
lively no graft connected With this test, and
a number of farmers by combining their
herds, can secure the test at a nominal
price, The ice cream manufacturers next
year will buy cream only from tested herds.
They desire to comply with the pure food law
of the state in every particular.

A number O. large buildings have been
constructed IN Minot this year, most Of which
have..provisions for spacious offices. This no
doubt will have a tendency of causing de-
cline in the renting values. One landlord
who has been renting a certain suite of Of
accept $37 so month for them The rents
in Minot will never be very low, for the tax
es on property are high and with money
worth from eight to ten per cent, the owner
must get fair rent to make anything from
his investment. .s#

North Dakota and the Independent believes
that on the average, two columns were de-
voted to telling about Wiliston and the good
time that the editors had at the convention.
There are 100 lines in an ordinary column and
figuring this at the regular advertising rates,
Williston would have had to pay ten cents a
line for this advertising, equal to $4,000. The
newspaper men were profuse in the use of
adjectives describing Williston and the old
town deserved all that was said of her.

"Own your own home. Money at 5996'' was
the heading of an alluring advertisement we
picked up the other day. We couldn't help
but stop and wonder at it, when there are de-
mands for good loans at nine and ten per
cent that can scarcely be met. We are pre-
pairing to investigate this offer very carefully
and hope to tell our readers all about it.

Indications are that the population Of
North Dakota will be much larger the COM
ing winter than usual. During the past four
or five years, the North Dakotans have &C.
quired reputation of being great globe
trotters. The farmer found it easy to raise
enough crop to furnish money for his debts
and a nice surplus besides which burned
hole in his pockets so to speak. Half the
farmers either went back east for visit with
old friends, or travelled to the sunny south.
This year with reduced crops, a large per-
centage of our farmers will be contented to
stay at home and save their money.

At last, Minot has cinched that drinking
fountain, or rather Capt. and Mrs. Scarlet
have cinched it for US, thru the generosity of
the National Humane Alliance. The foun-
tain, magnificent affair will be in place not
later than Oct 1. This has been one of the
crying needs of our farmer friends for years
and the Independent is more than pleased to
make this announcement. But, let US not
stop with this. Minot needs rest room for
the wives and daughters of our farmers
some place to take the baby when the little
one is fretful, nice cozy room fitted up with
toilet plenty Of easy rocking chairs, reading
tables, etc. Williston, a smaller city than
Minot, has such room, lets show that we
can do as we'll. The Commercial club could
take take up no more important a task than
the installation of such room. Our citizens
will back the club in this movement.
