The change in the tariff on man

provided for, from 80 to 35 per
cent. in paragraph 463, was not
made or recommended for protec-
tive purposes, or at the instance of,
or for the benefit of, any domestic
manufacturer. 1t was made upon
the recommendation of the treas
ury experts, solely for administra-
tive purposes. The fact is that at
the time the tariff act was passed
the American manufacturer for most
classes of goods had undisputed
control of the American market,
and in a number of cases the do
mestic producer was able to export
some portion of his product to
other countries.
The statistics submitted by. the
finance committee to the senate in
April, 1903, showed a value of
manufactured products in the
country in 1904 of $14s,000.000 and
exports in 1907 to the value of over
S6,000,000, while the imports of the

IN RACE TO STAY
SAYS SKULASON
GRAND FORKS NSURCENT DECLA ARES
he WILL NOT BE ELIMINATED
POSITION MOST EMPHATIC.

Grand Forks, March 7.-B. u.
Skulason of Grand Forks, among
those eliminated" by the so-called
elimination committee of the IN
surgent wing of the republican
party, will refuse to abide by the
decision of that body, and in an
interview given out today makes
his position most emphatic.
Mr.. Skulason is a candidate for
the republican nomination for con-
gress, and the insurgent commit
tee has sought to put him out OF
the race by indorsing H. I. Hedge
sen and w. S. Lauder.
Eyes, have read the dispatch
from Valley City from which it
appears that the elimination COM
mittee'' has held its final meeting
and has eliminated from the con-
gressional race all but two candl-
dates,'' said Mr.. Skulason today.
''The statement in the dispatch
that I will probably withdraw is q
mistake. I refuse to abide by the
decision of that committee. They
have never had any authority over
me or my candidacy. l had no
voice in the selection or the meet
ing at which they were selected,
and had no notice of this final
meeting. In legal parlance, they
never had any jurisdiction over
either my position or the subject
matter ef my candidacy.
"The object Of the primary law
is, as / understand it, to let the
people do the eliminating. It IS
so easy to get up an elimination
committee that each candidate for
public Office could have one of his
own. l see that Burdick OF
Munich is also eliminated. ! be-
lieve 1 will suggest to him that he
and / assemble and eliminate

NIGHT LETTERS
BY TELEGRAM
new SERVICE TO Be MAUCURA1ED
SHOULD PROVE BOON TO BUSl-
NESS MEN OF WILLISTON.

Announcement is made by the
Western Union Telegraph COM
pany that it will shortly be pre-
pared to handle long night mes
sages at the rate customarily
charged for ten word day messages.
It appears that the W estern Un-
ion has a large unemployed mile
age of wire at night which is not
earning anything. These wires
must be maintained in any event
to take care of the regular day
business and it is apparently the
idea of the new interests in the
telegraph company to let the pub
lie have the benefit of them. The
announcement states that special
night letter service will be estab-
lished as soon as practicable. The
charge for this service will be the
standard day rate for ten words
for the transmission of fifty words
or less, and one-ffth of such stan
dard day rate will be charged for
each additional ten. words or less. ;"
To be taken at these rates,
might letters" must be written in
plain English language, that is to
say, code words or communica-
tions written in foreign languages
will not be accepted. The mes
sages will be taken at any hour up
to midnight and transmitted at the
company's convenience during the
night for delivery the following
morning. For the present the
new service is confined to Western
Union offices in the United States.
The tariffs charged for night let
ters are so low it is expected that
the new service will be largely
availed Of by business concerns
and others to quicken their cor
respondence by using the telegraph
instead of the mails. A night let
ter sent by telegraph will reach
it's destination at the opening of
business hours the following morn
ing, thus saving as much as three
or four days when long distances
are used.

the American Society Of Equity
for the erection of q terminal ele-
vator at Duluth. Over $4,000
dollars has been paid into the
treasury of the society for this
purpose, and the farmers of this
section believe that they will be in
a better position than ever to mas
ter the situation when the crops
are harvested next fall.

present system of marketing the
grain the farmer secures in the
end only 32H per cent Of the ulti-
mate value of his grain and that

COMMITTEE FAVORS
BERTHOLD OPENING
HANNA'S BILL FOR BGRTnOLD INDIAN
RESERVATION OPENING IS RE,
PORTED FAVORABLY.

Washington, March 7.-Over q
million acres will be thrown open
for settlement in the Fort Berthold
Indian reservation by the Hanna
bill which the Indian affairs conn
mittee voted favorably yesterday.
Aside from opening an immense
tract of the valuable Indian land
in North Dakota, the Hanna bill
contains a number of features
which carry out the new conserva-
tion policy of the government.
Iii the first section of the bill it
is provided that the land shall be
examined by the geological survey
and if any of it is found to contain
coal or other minerals, the secre-
tary of the interior is to reserve it
for allotment and distribution until
congress shall provide for its dis
position. In the event that any
mineral land is allotted to the In
dians they are to relinquish title
in it and select some other portion
of the reservation. The establish
ment and maintenance of q model
farm for the instruction of Indians
in farming is provided for BY
setting aside a tract of $40 acres
and an appropriation Of $25, 900 to
purchase machinery and erect build
ings upon the farm. The manage
ment and control of the farm is to
be under the supervision of ths
commissioner of Indian affairs.
Ten lots III each townsite are to
be set apart for a school, park and
other public purposes. This is an
entirely new feature in land legis-
lation and, it is thought, will re-
suit in the establishment of a park
system in all the towns located in
the reservation There is also q
provision by which the ruins of
old Fort Berthold and the Indian
burial grounds are to be reserved.
Sections 16 and 36 of each town
ship are to be set aside for school
purposes which is not to be sold
for less than $40 an acre.

LITTLE BOY WAS
KIDNAPPED BY MAN
TRACKS IN SNOW INDICATE THAT LAD
WAS STOLEN AWAY FROM HOME
10 VISIT GRANDFATHER.

Hettinger, N. D., March s.
What appears to be case of kid
mapping occurred about twenty-five
miles north of this place recently.
Henry Hether, 6-year-old son of
Emanuel Hether, is missing. On
February 9, he left home to visit
his grandfather, who lives one-half
mile distant, and he has not been
seen since. A search has been
diligently made, but without avail.
1t was thought the lad might have
become lost, but the distance was
short and he was watched until
near his grandfather's home.
The boys tracks we're traced in
the snow and show that he left the
road few rods from the grand
fathers place. There the tracks
show that he was met by man
who came from the opposite di-
rection. The mans tracks led back
to the road, but the boys tracks
disappeared where he met the man.
This is taken to mean that the boy
was carried away. The parents
are distracted with grief over the
loss of the boy.

STANDARD OIL
READY TO FIGHT
ATTORNEYS FILE BRIEF WITH COURT
AND CLAIM THAT NO ILLEGAL
COMBINATION EXISTS.

Washington. March 8.-The
Standard Oil company filed in
in the supreme court of the
United States today a brief in
opposition to the attempt of the
government to dissolve the cor
poration as violating the Sher-
man anti-taust law. The docu-
ment comes as a prelude to the
oral argument Monday and is
the work of D. T. Watson, John
M. Freeman and Ernest G. 1r-
win. The briet for the govern
ment has not yet been filed.
The keynote of the defense is
the so-called preservation Of
"the rights of the Individual cit
izens Of the United States. /"
The issue, according to the
paper filed today is the charge
made in the petition and denied
in the answer that seven indi-
vidual defendants, John D Rock
efeller, Vim. r. Rockefeller, John
D. Archbold, Oliver II Payne,

oil and to gain a monopoly of
the traffic.

ACTION AGAINST
The ENVELOPES
BILL TO STOP GOVERNMENT FROM
FURNISHING PRINTED ENVELOPES
IS NOW BEFORE CONGRESS.

Washington, March s. The sale
of envelopes by the government
with return addresses printed upon
them is prohibited by an amend
ment adopted by the postofice ap-
preparation bill in the house today.
This prohibition applies to the ap-
preparation contained in the bill,
many members contending that its
entire effect was nullified by an
amennment offered by Mr.. Cox of
Ohio, providing that it should not
interfere with the present contract
of the government for doing such
printing.
The amendment was agreed to
after an animated debate during
which Representative Mann of
Illinois charged that the sentiment
against such printing had been
worked up only after the contract
for doing it had been removed
from Connecticut to Ohio. Ad-
vocates of the prohibition against
the sale of printed envelopes
claimed that the government had
no right to enter into competition
with private printers.

MISSOURI RIVER
BROKE UP MONDAY
ice ON RIVER BROKE UP MONDAY. AZ
TERNOON---WlNC DAM TORN OUT
REPORTS OF DAMAGES.

The ice of the Missouri river
broke up Monday afternoon about
FIVE aclock, this being one of the
earliest dates for the breaking of
the ice in the history of the river.
Floods from Montana and the
breaking up of the Yellowstone
are reported to be the cause. The
river rose rapidly Saturday and
Sunday and the enormous pressure
of the flood waters broke the ice
which was thirty inches thick and
very solid. At the time the ice
broke up there we're forty men
morking on the wing dam being
built at the upper end Of the rip
rapping and they had to make
run for a place Of safety. The
piles and timbers Of the dam were
snapped off like pipe stems and the
entire structure carried away. The
ice did not move more than half
or three quarters of mile here
before being gorged and the cold
nights since have frozen it enough
to hold. Should we get ! few
warm days however the river
would be sure to raise higher and
then the ice would be forced out. ]
It is reported that q man and team
were on the ice near Trenton when
it broke up and that they went
down. Portions Of the fats above
here are flooded and people have
been compelled to move out.

l. Trial courts are vested with
a broad judicial discretion regard
ing the subject of the allowance Of
amendments to pleadings and the
action of the trial court, in per-
mitting amendments, will not be
disturb ID by this court except in
cases of a clear abuse of discrea-
tion. Liberality should be shown
by the courts in the allowance of
amendments where it appears that
such amendments will promote the
ends of justice.
2. Trial courts are vested with
a wide discreation in the matter of
granting or refusing continuances
and under the facts in the case at
bar, held that the denial of plain
tiff's motion for a continuance of
the cause over the term was not
error.
8. Certain counter affidavits
were. received and considered in
opposition to plaintiffs motion for
continuance. Such affidayits mere
" tended to show that the motion
was not made in good faith.
Held, that such counter affida-
Wits were admissible for such pur-
pose.
4. Plaintiff refused to offer any
evidence in support of the sllega-
tions of his complaint and in res
ponse to a motion for non-suit by
defendants counsel the trial court
directed the jury to return q ver-
dict in defendants favor, which
discreation was complied with and
thereafter judgment was entered
on such verdict.
Held, error, but without preju-
dice as the Judgment discloses upon
its face that no testimony was in
troduced and no issue of fact or
law was tried or adjudicated, hence
such judgment can form no bar to
another action by plaintiff.
