CENSUS WORK IS
GOING ALONG WELL
SOME DIFFICULTY IN THE EAST.
ERIN DISTRICT OF THE
STATE.
Special Agent Poole Says the Work
of Taking Census Is Progressing
Satisfactorily.

Special Agent Poole, who is in
charge of the field work OF the census
for Supervisor Brewster of this dis
trict. says the work is progressing
satisfactorily. There are 226 enum-
orators in this census distNct, ami
they are all at work. The census Is
to be completed in fifteen days.
The cities of the district, lnclud-
ing Bismarck, Mandan, Dickinson.
Williston, Minot and other western
towns. have been provided with emu
merators and they are all at work,
and expect to have thew ork done IN
time, and completely.
Some difficulty has been experience
ed in the eastern district OF the state
in getting enumerators. A number
have been appointed and have failed
to serve. the compensation being
deemed inadequate. This same con-
dition exists in some other states. and
in South Dakota a number OF the
enumerators have quit work, although
the law provides fine of $500 in case
an enumerator fails to keep at work
unless for a good reason.

SHERIFF SELLS Big
BLOCK Of Land
BURLEiGH COUNTY LANDS SOLD
UNDER FORECLOSURE BRING
GOOD PRICE.
The Average Price Paid Was Extra
ordinarily High for Wild Land - A
Good Criterion.

The sheriff of Burleigh county did
q land Office business last Saturday
afternoon at the court house door
when he sold 2,7S0 acres of Burleigh
county land to satisfy writ of ex-
ecution issued by the district court.
David Rohrer of Germantown, O.,
a wealthy distiller. owned this land,
subject to mortgage Of $32, 669.O4,
and being in bankruptcy, he was un-
able to pay the mortgage, which was
foreclosed by action.
The mortgage, G. F. Hofer, bought
in four sections at $1l, $12, $14, and
$3.50 per acre, respectively. w. E.
Rawlings bought four quarters at $780,
IS, $1O.75, $805 and $7.25 per acre,
respectively. H. P. Goddard bought
a quarter for $3.50 per acre. The to-
tai amount of the sale was about
$4,000, and the average price was
1925 an acre.
This shows how the land is valued
when such a price is paid at a fore
ed sale. Most of the land sold is To-
Gated near Brittin.

SECRETARY OF DEVELOPMENT
co. CORREcTS AN ERRONE-

The Ladies Of the League Will Have
to Raise Considerable Sum to Pay
for New Beauty Spot.

Editor Tribune: In this mornings
issue OF your paper note that there
is an article regarding the new park
to be established in Riverview addi-
ton in which you praise very highly
the public spirit of the company in
donating four acres for park purposes
and also praising the plans of this
company in laying out the park and
practically no credit was given the
women of the Civic League, who are
really doing all the work in connec-
ton with the park.
The company is not donating the
land to the Civic League; we are
giving it to them for less than cost
and on top of that the company and
it's stockholders individually are do
mating between $500 and 5000, and 10
purchase the land the ladies will have
to raise some 5000 on the outside.
In addition to this the company Of
fered to arrange with the league
whereby a good lot could be ratified
off, the tickets to be sold to be in the
nature of receipts which could be
turned in on the purchase of a lot
from the company, and the proceeds
of the sale of these tickets to be de-
voted to improving the park. The
league has not yet taken up this lat
ter matter, but undoubtedly will lat
er on.
All credit should be given the men,
bers of the Civic League for their
work in this matter, and this company
is asking and expects no credit for
anything in connection with it, but
we do want the public spirited ana
hard working women of the Civic
League to receive full credit.
We will ask you to give this let

that the Civic League may be given
credit for its work in establishing a
city park instead of

new Law WILL
Be TRIED OUT
NEW LAW FOR NoN.PARTIsAN
NOMINATION AND ELECTION
OF SUPREME JUDGES.
DETAILS OF THE STATUTE UN.
DER WHICH JUDGES WILL BE
SELECTED THIS YEAR.

/ Operating under the non-partisan
principle in the elective of justices
North Dakota will this year try ou
itS, new law passed by the last legis
lature, and elect three members 81
the supreme court Of the state. Out
of the five justices making up the
court, only two hold over this year
the terms of the majority of them ex
piring with the close of the present
year. At the same time the voters OF
the state will have an opportunity OF
casting their ballots on the question
of extending the terms of justises
from six years to ten years, con
stitutional amendment to that effect
having reached the point in legislat
i've progress where it requires the
majority vote of the people to be-
come effective.
In view of the many new factors en-
tering into the election of supreme
court justices, there already has been
ard will continue to be, an e7traor
mary amount of interest in the cam
paign of the several candidates Tor
election. Up to the present time an
nouncements of nine candidates for
places on the bench have been made,
three of those being by present mem
bers who are seeking reelection at
this time. Three of the candidates
announced are at present judges Of
the district courts, the other three be-
ing practicing attorneys.
One Of the most interesting features
in connection with the election and
one which will be watched by poll.
ticfans with deep interest, will be the
manner in which the non-partisan
Judiciary act will work out. This bill
was passed by the Eleventh legisla-
tive assembly.
The manner of electing the justices
under the new law is very simple.
The law prescribes that in the petit
tions Of nomination, no reference shall
be made to the party affiliations Of
the candidate. This applies to SUI
preme court as we'll as district court
candidates. In the primary election
the names of all candidates nominated
are placed on separate ballot known
as the Judiciary ballot" The num-
Der of candidates nominated in the
primary election shall be just double
the number of positions there are to
fill, so this year six candidates will
be nominated in the primary to make
the race in the regular fall election.
In the fall elections the six candi-
dates go on a separate ballot without
party designation, and the three high
est will be declared elected.
If the constitutional amendment,
providing for longer term, is adopt
ed, and it is very likely that it will
be, the candidate in the fall election
who receives the highest number of
votes will hold Office for ten years,
the next highest candidate holds for
eight years and the third highest can
didate holds for six years.

Commissioner Jackson also stated
that a number of the down town bust
ness men had stated to him that If
the city would furnish the lights they
would furnish the standards for clus.
tiers of arc lights to be placed along
the down town streets, three clusters
on each side OF the street in each OF
the blocks. The lights will cost the
city between 800 and $3.50 more each
year than the present arc lights, and
the poles will cost about $50 each.
The matter of laying telegraph,
telephone and electric light wires I'M
derground, was also brought up and
as the sidewalks are to be widened
to sixteen feet 1t seemed to be the
sense of tho commissioners that the
wires should be order lafdsNnder the
ground, thus removing all poles from
the streets, excepting the standards
for the street light clusters, which
will be ornamental 1t was also in
timated that this should be done soon
for the reason that the increase In
business and traflc on the down town
streets will necessitate their pave
ment within the next year or two.
Commissioner MarQuett introduced
an ordinance anulling the franchise
OF the Bismarck Water Supply COM
pany for on-fulflllment of the water
company's contract with the city in
that its franchise calls for the laying
of water mains on Ave. A, and in
other respects.
The ordinance passed it's first read
ing and was referred to Commission
er Lucas and the city attorney.
Commissioner Marquett also intro
duced resolution requesting the city
attorney to give his opinion in writing
on the questions rs to whether or not
the city could annul the franchise on
the above grounds, If the president
of the city commission could refuse
to sign q contract between the city
and the sidewalk contractors provid-
ing he had voted against the granting
of the contract when the contract
provided for the payment of 80 cents
