further additional signatures, more

were also rejected.
Originally the county seat was Dun
seth. Then came the first fight, when
St. Johns secured the plum. In 1890
Rolla went after the prize, and in an
election marked by bits rness, succeed
ed in landing it. Rolette made it's first
fight to get the county seat two years
ago, but was unsuccessful.

Railroad Will Build to Fargo
and to Winnipeg.

From st. Paul comes some Interesting
information relative to the proposed
Dakota Southern railroad. The st.
Paul Pioneer Press of yesterday says:
j. F. Wright, vice president of the
newly organized Dakota Southern rail
road-incidentally it's chief engineer
spent yesterday in st. Paul. He carried
about with him an armful of blne prints
also an air of confidence in the future
of the enterprise in which he is interest
ed.
Having purchased the South Dakota
Central railroad, running between Sioux
Falls and Watertown, we are extending
it to Fargo, via Schofeld, Ransom
county, N. D. Later we will build on
to Winnipeg. The route from Grand
Forks to the Canadian city will be along
the Minnesota side of the Red river to
Drayton, thence on the North Dakota
side to the boundary line and due north.
"After we have finished the line
from Watertown to Fargo we will con-
struct brauch line from Schofeld to
Valley City, through the towns of
Lisbon, Fort Ransom, Walker and
Daily. Later we will extend the line
from Valley City to Grand Forks
through the towns of Hope and Sher-
brook, connecting with the main line
now being built"
Mr.. Wright says that another line
is being surveyed by the new Dakota
Southern railroad from a point, near
Minor to Ltchville, Eckelson, Whining
ton, McHenry and Devils Lake. Also,
says Mr.. Wright, the Brookings & Souix
Falls railroad, now controlled by the
Dakota Southern railroad, will be ex-
tended from Egan to Ortonville.
''We soon expect to purchase the
farmers line at Devils Lake, and extend
it 70 Hansbrough, thence forty miles
north to Woodland, Can. There it will
ntersect the Canadian Pacific railroad.
Dur improvements will not be completed
until December, 1911, and will cost
about $500, 600. Fargo Forum.

While the probable extent of the
future drainage Of this county may be
somewhat a matter of opinion, yet every
sensible person would agree that it will
certainly be extensive. That the ex.
pense OF such drainage is something
that should be taken into consideration
by every taxpayer before beginning
other and newer enterprises of less
utility is equally true and obvious.
As. We remarked, just the actual
amounts which the taxpayers of this
county will spend in drainage during
the next ten years or so, is not known.
But we have some data which will help
to make reasonable and conservative
estimate.
just now there stands on the tax liste
about $l5, 600 to be paid during the
next two years as drainage taxes for
assessments on which one and two pay.
ments have been made and on which
one to two more assessments are still
due. Several new drains are either
already ordered or in preparation by the
drain board.

The Lynching
in Newark, O.

The overthrow of the law
in Ohio last week by citizens of
Newark, and the reign of mob
violence is deplorable. We con-
denim this outrage with as much
vehemence w hen the victim is a
white man as we do when the vic
tim is negro. 1t is just as out
rageous, just as inexcusable, just
as unwarranted. The dethrone.
ment of law and the enthrone.
ment of the mob is an awful
thing.
We have laws for every crime
and if we cannot SOP the
mob, it will stop organized gov
eminent. and the Dec aration Of
Independence will prove failure
and all the work of Patrick Hen
ry. Geo. Washington, Lafay cite,
Jefferson and Hamilton will be
in vain, and England's claim that
the colonists are not, and were
not, capable of self government
will prove true. There is no al
tentative. This government
could not live half free and half
ave, and it cannot live half mob
aud half civilized, or half mob
law and half organized civil gov
eminent.

The Rapid Rise

Twenty years ago, prize fight

sport. But on came Sullivan,
Peter Jackson, Corbett. Sharkey,
Fitzsimmons, Jeffries, Burns and
Johnson.
When the climax was reached
and when never before in our

given to the sport, it was looked
upon as a great test of racial su

Young colored men should not
