The Dog Sheep Discussion Growing.

That's a thoughtful article on the
Dog-Sheep question, in Peoples Fo-
rum this Issue. We are glad 60
have the citizens Of tho county use
our columns for the discussion of
this or any other question concern
ing the public veal or woe. The
Dog Sheep controversy like many
other mooted questions has puzzled
the minds of the most astute for
wears. The quickest and most last
ing way to settle such questions is
for those who have studied it from
personal experience to speak out as
did Alex Smith last week, a non
sheep man, and now the writer of
this who is a Sheep-owner. We be-
lieve that articles berring on polIti-
cal or economic questions should
bear the real signature Of toe author
to have fullest weight, but do not
insist upOn that.

A MISTAKE.

The Chronicle insinuates that st.
Peter isn't likely to let any newspaper
man through the pearly gates-and
therefore Dan and Magnus are certain
to have their own way in county seat
matters in the sweet by and by.
All of which may be true-but it
reminds us of a story of similar mis-.
take made by two other Cavalier
gentleman now deceased. One of these
preceded the other across the Styx
by some weeks. The later arrival
spent some time in surveying his new
surroundings before he ran across his
former fellow citizen. After warm
shaking of hands and spending
some time discussing the prospects of
Cavalier becoming the county seat,
the newcomer said he had changed his
mind about Cavalier being the best
location. The other man expressed his
astonishment at the change Of opinion
and wanted to know the reason. .'Well,
said the newcomer, s'since I have seen
heaven, I think this is far better
place than Cavalier. s'S-s.s-s-h,' y
whispered the other, athis amt heaven

The Pioneer Express believes that 1t
is the only question with the taxpavers,
We do not helieve that the Chronicle
or the Cavalier boomers can convince
the sensible people of this county that
the county seat can be moved to Cav
|aller without costing something-and
that cost will have to be paid by the
individual taxpayers, to whom individ-
ualy it makes almost no difference
where the court house is situated.
This cost may be fgnred by the
individual taxpayer himself. Let HIM
take the figures given by the Chronicle
and by the Pioueer Express and then
fix in his own mind how much new
buildings will cost, and then see how
much it will cost him.. He will prob
ably be surprised at the result. Even
at the purposely low estimation of the
Chronicle it will mean an average of
$40 each to the taxpayers of the COUNTY.
According to this paper it will cost
over Sl00 each. Now MIR. Taxpayer
is it worth $50, s75 or 500 to you to
move the county seat. That is the
question for you to answer before you
sign petition or cast your vote on
this question.

THE cOsroF THE COURT HOUSE

Between the cost of the old court
house and the cost of new one the
Chronicle seems to be in somewhat of
a dilemma. In attempting follow the
windings and twistings of the Chroni-
Gle mathematician the reader will find
very confusing and conflicting road.
AS might be expected the Chronicle
doesn't like the looks of the figures
that we have published showing the
total cost of the court house and the
individual cost to the taxpayers. The
fact is certain that the taxpayers will
not put up that much, or any large
part Of such cost unless they are con-
vinced by the vociferatlons of the
Chronicle and the other Cavalier. city
boomers "that the old county buildings
are but shacks which will fall down on
the heads of the officials within a few
years"
DID ACCEPT 100000 AS CORRECT COST.
The Chronicle first assalls our figures
on the first cost Of new court house.
tclaims that it never wanted, wouldn't
accept and never said anything about a
sl0O, 600 new building.
It will be remembered that the
Pioneer Express gave figures showing
the cost of court houses in sixteen
counties Of the state with the popula-
tion Of the county and other statistics.
In the discussion Of these figures which
the Chronicle did not seem to like over
much, it spoke as follows:
i .Burleigh, Barnes, Griggs. Steele,
N irton, Stutsman and Trail all have
] sless population than Pembina county
/ and yet have far more costly bull ldings.
Burleigh and Barnes have only 9,S75
population each, the former has build
ings VIC rth $1,000 and the latter S75 600.
Iraill county was the last to change
Its county seat and moved to Hallsboro
where they put up buildings to cores

hold of'long standing but accumulates
a lot of stuff that while apparently of
no earthly use yet possibly might be
worth something under some very ex.
traordinary circumstances. This coun.
ty has been doing business for over
thirty-fve years and has lot of such
stuff in the shape of old papers. Some
OF this sort of stuff has been put aside
in building where the danger of fire
is almost nil, just as the housewife
stores her waste stuff in the garret.
Nothing of real value is SO stored.
1t is to bolster up the story that
there is insufficient vault room that
this sort of yarn is reeled off by Cava-
lier folks. If more vault room is needed
the expense would be but a trife as
the nost of the vaults are on the
ground and additions could be made
as there is lots of room and the build
ing would mean but brick wall about
eight feet high with roof. Any tax
payer can see from that how much
additional vault room would cost when
it is required. As to safety, except at
one end, the. vaults are not touched
by other parts of the adjoining
building.
What the county commissioners are
expected to do at the next meeting by
the Cavalier people of course we are not
able to say. The county board are
"mostly sensible men, and personally
wetshould not expect any sensible man
tosay the court house is unsafe.
Cavalier has made any offer to nav
half or any part of the cost of a new
colrt house, they have also been careful
not to make it a put bile matter. We hear
tha t some people from that city have
made that sort of talk to individuals
but the committee as such, would un-
donbtedly say that statement has been
made "a by persons who are unauthorized
by the committee. The reason is simple.
They don't dare to. And, if they never
make such an authorized statement
they will never have to fulfill it.

LOCOMOTIVES ALLOTTED TASK
Expected TO Cover q Dctinite Mileage
Before ~ IL EntitIrd ~ BE
OVcrhauIcd.

When a locomotive Is built II is expected
90 make a certain mileage before IT receives
general ovcrhsuing, When that over
hauling is done It is again TO make a deh-
mite mileage.
The modern passenger locomotive IL eS-
pectcd TO cover 100 600 miles between gem
eral "shoppings," intermediate repair being
made at the various roundhouses.
Responsibility for the failure OF a loco
motiv,, TO perform the work cut out for It
is easily fixed by means OF system OF
records The superintendent Of shops is
responsible for all power cut out OF service
on the road and placed inside the shop
grounds and this responsibility does not
end until the locomotive IL ready for serv-
ice again From the time that It Is ready
for service until it Is once more cut out
for repairs in the shop the master me-
chanic shoulders the responsibility.
When the locomotive is ready to leave
the shops It is inspected Jointly by the
shop Inspector under the superintendent
of shops, and the inspector working under
| the master mechanic. Every workman
who had any part whatever in the handling
of the locomotive is responsible to his Inn
mediate foreman, just as the foreman is
responsible to his superiors.
| In spite of the many intricate parts OF q
| LOGON otlve the company records show few
| failures An engine failure is a delay
of one minute or more TO any train, pro-
I vided It is caused by a failure Of the ma
| chnery of the locomotive.
The labor of every man who works for
even an hour upon certain engine Is
charged to that engine, each mechanic re-
cording his labor upon a slip Of paper
known as the daily time certificate which
in turn is certified to by the general time
keeper. The records of the road enable
the officials to show the exact cost OF
labor and material for each mile that a
locomotive travels or each ton hauled.
In the case OF collisions or wrecks, where
the fAuld is not one OF defective workman
ship or material the locomotive may enter
the general shops for rebuilding. even
though it may not have completed the
mileage assigned to it, and no RESPONSE
bility attaches to those on whom it would
otherwise fall, The locomotive is simply
repaired and Is allowed to complete the
mileage originally assigned to 1t.
When a locomotive is brought into the
shops for work it is first stripped by the
men who comprise what Is known as the
stripping gang This gang Immediately
takes off such parts OF the engine as are
necessary for the job.
The parts to be repaired are cleaned ir
a vat and the work is then distributed
among the various employees Of the machine
and blacksmith departments. each part
when repaired to be returned to the erect
ing side of the shop, to be mounted again
on the locomotive by the date on which II
is scheduled TO go on the road. The dates
are posted in a conspicuous place, conven.
lent to each repair gang.-New York Her.
