LAND COMES HIGH
FOR THE MIDLAND
LaMourev County Jury AS
sesses Damages Against
New Railroad

LaMoure, N. D., March with a
verdict Of $544.50 rendered as the
value Of the land taken, a jury in the
case Of the Midland Continental Rail-
road company vs.. w. H. Kadell re-
turned a verdict Of $2,76o for damages
that would be suffered by the remain
der Of the farm owned by the defendant
II the railroad is run across it. The
actual number of acres that the COM
pany wants is just a little over twelve,
and with the cost of that land to-
gether with the damages, 1t will mean
an expenditure Of over $275 an acre
for the ground that will be used as
right Of way. KaDell already has the
Northern Pacific railroad running
across his farm in one direction, and
the placing Of the Midland line over
It would cut it up in very bad shape,
which was the reason for the high
verdict.
George Woodell, convicted Of as
sault with a dangerous weapon, was
sentenced to one year in the state
penitentiary by Judge Goss. before
whom he was convicted.

other In Mexico, where American min

never become perfectly safe and
lady-like occupation, but Americans
must blame themselves If they fail to
make 1t at least as safe as it is in the

vidual. Of course, is helpless, except
to bring to bear such pressure as he
may upon legislative bodies, and per-
haps on the mining corporations, to
secure the needed improvements. The
house of representatives has passed a
bill creating a bureau of mines; It
seems up to the senate to rush it
through. When 1t tries to regulate

to succeed better than the states, and
the two working together can improve

with officials of the land office and in

change In the policy now in force re-
gardfng the submission of proof on
homestead entries in western North
Dakota.
Most of the land in that section was
withdrawn because it was alleged to
contain valuable deposits of Ignite.
This reservation barred the settlers
from making proof. Last year a re-
lief bill was passed under which the
settlers could obtain patent for sur
face only. under certain conditions.
1t Is alleged by the settlers, through
Mr.. diversion. that special agents who
are investigating these entries are
trying to force them to accept patents
for surface only, but they have re-
fused. ~,
The settlers say they made their
homestead entries in good faith and
should be given patents for their en-
try holdings. The course Of pro-
cedure has not been. determined, as
the situation is complicated by the
