PRICES RISE ON
STOCK EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, Dec. 1e.-Greater
activity and higher prices charac-
terlZed today movement in the
stock market, with the recent
betternent in bonds well sus-
tanned. The advance in stocks
resulted largely from extensive
snort covering, by traders, al
though commission houses re-
ported moderate investment de-
mand. Much OF this came from
Boston, Chicago and southwest
ern points. The coal stocks were
especially strong during the
greater part of the day, although
Lehlgh Valley subsequently lost
all its gains.
The strength Of the Hartman
issues seemed to come from the
buying. by interests commonly
recognized as substantial and
may have had it's origin in the
excellent statement sent forth
by the Southern Pacific company
last week
The heaviness of United States
steel was in marked contrast to
the line of the general list and
was ascribed to the prevailing
conditions in the steel and iron
industries. There was. however,
good demand for steel sink
ing fund bonds.
Western railroad officials re-
ported a heavier movement in
merchandise, and the eastern
roads made a better showing in
the way OF increased tonnage.
Transactions for London's ac-
count in this market were esti-
mated at $4,000 shares, with a
fairly large balance on the buy
ing side. London'S own markets
weee featureless.
Local monetary conditions are
unchanged, while greater ease is
-f11a-r
and all fears of a stringency,
however temporary, are set at
rest.
The bond market reflected the
general improvement shown in
that class of securities. Total
sales (par value), were S2,S90, 000
United States bonds were un-
changed.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19-E. F.
Hutton & Co s wire says: With
p out any unfavorable influences
over the week end stocks were
taken in hand today under the
new high level on the present
swing. Reading made the best
advance, though dividend talk
was centered on Lehigh Valley.
hence the usual mystery in the
former issue outside of the
assets of the property. While
the rise in the market was gem
orally credited to the usual win
dow dressing" at the years end.
there seemed to be a relief in
good quarters that the rise in
securities was based on a more
important factor and would ex-
tend well into January This
factor is the matter of the rails
ing Of railway rates, which may
be heard from before Febru-
airy l.
There is an element in the
Wall street outlook which is
worthyt Of serious consideration
and that is the maintenance of
the present dividends on leading
railway stocks like St Paul,
Northern Pacific and New York
Central. From very reliable or
influential sources we are in
formed that the present basis of
dividend on the securities will
be conserved, and if such proves
a fact these stocks are compara-
lively cheap.
stocks will probably be
worked higher before the close
of the year"

AN EASY GOING SHERIFF.

The oflce Of sheriff Of Ward County, is one Of
the most important offices in the county and the
sheriff receives the hghest salary Of them all. The
sheric is in position, conduct. ng the affairs Of
his Office often to tack on costs which could
easily be saved the tax payers of the county. The
Independent is preparing bundle at facts for the
consideration Of the voters next week ,provid- ng
we can complete our researches Of the records by
that time that will show what the present incum
bent S. A. Sorenson, has been doing, since he has
been N office. We will give the facts as shown
by the records, and let the tax payers judge for
themselves, as to whether they ought to allow him
to hold the Office another term or not. The figures
which we propose to give, will make interesting
reading, and will n way solve the mystery OF high
taxes. Mr.. Sorenson is an easy going fellow, and
to the casual observer, he seems to have made
fairly good sheriff. We propose to show wherein
the tax payers have geen mistaken, just as was
the tor of the Independent, until began scru'
tinzing carefully the manner, in which this office
has been conducted. We don't intend to throw
any mud. but VIII tell Just the plain facts, which
can be substantsated, by examination OF the

LEE WILL MAKE GOOD.

BY reason Of the experience he gained while act
ing as sheriff Of Ward County, John J. Lee, cand1
date for the legislature from the 18th, will make
good at Bismarck. That he will be nominated and
elected seems certainty. Mr.. Lee has in mind
a number of bills that will be Of vast importance
to the tax payers One OF them is bill providing
for tax collector in each township in every coun-
ty. This method Of collecting taxes is employed in
eastern states and does not cost the taxpayer any
thing extra As a matter Of fact, they are saved
considerable money. rule. for with this method
there would be fewer penalties attached and every
one knows, the penalty is often greater than the
tax itself. Mr.. Lee has had this question in mind
for a number of years, in fact while he was yet
sheriff he assisted in drafting such bill which was
introduced by member of the legislature from this
district but owing to the objections of the sherifs
in the eastern part of the state, it did not become
a alw Mr. Lee is level headed business man,
a good square fellow, and should be heartily sup
ported. s.. .-....-. 81 .r.-

WILL WE HAVE A BAND?

Mnot never before felt the need of band so
much as she does today. When the Minneapolis
jobbers arrived we could not meet them with

banded. Minot for number Of years had the re-
putation Of having two of the best bands in the
state and city got some enviable advertising
from them. The high school band was clever

and the Metropolitan City band was up and coming

unable to. secure suitable quarters for practice ths

THIS POLITICS?

Will give Governor Burke a beautiful opportunity
to strengthen his machine N the Northwestern
part of the state. He has the power Of appoint
ing the commissioners Of those counties, who, in
turn select the officers, and locate the temporary
county seat. 1t looks to the Independent good
q al Ike politics played prominent part in the
decision Of the Judges, allowing both counties to
be formed. The Supreme Court first decided that
Burke County had won and then re-opened the
case and after due consideration by that august
body, Burke County not only declared to be
on the map, but Renville as we'll This happens

HAGEN HAS BEEN FAITHFUL.

Knute Hagen, the present clerk of the District
Court, says f he is reelected, he will not ask for
another term. This seems fair, and when Knute
says it, he it. He has held the Office but
one term and he has done his work faithfully. 1t
seems to the Independent that he should have
trouble in being elected again by handsome ma
jor;ty. Mr.. Hagen makes an excellent county off,
cal He IS obligag, tends strictly to his business,
is on hand every working day in the year. and it
is generally admitted that Ward County never had
