N. 5. CUskEuY SELECTED
TO REPRESENT DUNN co.

After much solicila, ion on the part of
numerous friends of all parties con-
cemed, Dunn county has at last put uu
candidate for the legislature from the
new 4Sth district. The matter of a
candidate for the position was settled
in rather unique manner last week.
Those mentioned as possible candi-
dates were C. C. Laubaugh Of Halli-
day. Er'and PauIson of Kniferiver, W.
P. Owen of Manning and M. S. Cuskelly
of Oakdale. Mr.. Laubaugh refused ia
become a candidate some time ago,
and Mr.. Paulson would not consent to
have his name used in the novel method
decided upon.
Mr.. Owens and Mr.. Cuskelly con-
sented to decide the matter by lot and
this was done by each one naming a
man to attend to the drawing. Yester-
day afternoon while Mr.. Cuskelly was
in town he named j. A. Palmer, regis
ter of deeds, while Mr.. Owens named
E. X. jenkins. editor of the News
They wrote each mans name on five
different ballots which were folded and
placed in a hat and five ballots drawn
therefrom by Miss Helen Isham. Out
of the five ballots drawn Mr.. Cuskelly
received majority and, therefore, is
the republican candidate.
Quite different from most political
positions. becoming member of the
legislature is purely honorary, remunera-
lion being hardly consideration. But
rather than let the representation 90
to the other two counties in the dis
trict by default, either of the above
gentlemen were willing to sacrifice their
time and business to the interest of
Dunn county.
Mr.. Cuskelly is an old timer in Dunn
county. having located at Kildeer
mountain in the early eighties and COM
menced ranching. Later he and his
brothers started mercantile establish
ment at Oakdale and postoffice was
located at that point MIR. Cuskelly is
still in business there and has the good
will of all the people with whom he is
acquainted. He has taken an active
interest in the development and up
building of Dunn county and is in a
position to know the needs Of Anew
county in the way of Legislature. He
has been chairman OF the republican
county central committee since its
organization in 1908.
The drawing which resulted in Mr..
Cuskelly's candidacy was in charge of
democrat. republican and young
lady without any particular political
affiliations, a good indication that the
candidate is popular with the masses.

Another big land deal has been con-
summated by local men which amounts
to about $50, 900. Geo. A. Senour, C.
T. Langley and Matt Crowley are now
the owners of the J. E. Phelan Knife
river ranch and paid for the 4. $50 acres
about the sum above mentioned.
These lands are located in the Knife
river valley near Broncho, in Mercer
county, and are almost entirely aeri-
cultural. They were selected years ago
by Mr.. Phelan with view to their grass
producing qualities, coupled with the
fact that they were watered by the
Knife. The land was fenced and three
sets of ranch buildings were constructed.
The new owners are closing out all
of the buildings and also fences on
school sections adjoining that were
held under lease and taken over with
the decided property.
Mr.. Senour states that they are not
anxious to sell just now. although they
would consider an offer on the whole
tract. A great deal of the land is easily
worth S25 per acre. The new Northern
Pacific survey runs through the land
and it is question of but few years
at the longest until a railroad will be
constructed up the valley.
Mr.. Phelan is moving his cattle and
horses north. These Knife river lands
have porved very profitable investment
for him and in all probability will
prove just as good an investment for
Messrs. Senour. Langley and Crowley.
Mr.. Phelan is concentrating his inter-
ests more. at Bowman down on the Mil
waukee which, no doubt, was one of his
reasons for closing out. file also found
it difficult to handle cattle and horses

Il give all aviators the rights to use, his
device Of flexible wing tips, which was
the feature of the aeroplane that
Adler invented in 1893. Ader's ma
chine of that date had almost all the
basic features Of the present Wright
aeroplaine.
Adler is now very old man ana
lives in tie extreme south of France.
He Is very reluctant to engage in a
quarrel with the younger men who
have carried on his work and develo-
ed and patented his Ideas. Paulhan
has appealed to his patriotism and
love of science and believes that the
aged inventor of the aeroplane may

his assistance towards breaking
down the monopoly which the Wrlghts
are trying TO establish.
Adler built his flying machine IS
years ago, the funds being supplied
by the French government. 1t was
a bat shaped aeroplane, weighed L.
500 pounds and was driven by a
steam engine He made many flights
during the next four years and in
1897 flew over 1000 feet Complete
success was impossible owing to the
weight of the steam engine, and as
gasoline motors were then useless for
aeroplanes, Alder abandoned his trials.
In a private letter Clement Adler
declares that the Wrights knowingly
and deliberately have perverted the
truth when they claim to be the orig
inators of the present system utilized
to balance aeroplanes. Paulhan hopes
ito persuade the old inventor to make
good his undoubted claim to priority
and end the Wrights' monopoly.
