BUILDING ACTIVITIES IN CITY FOR 1910

much to Devils Lake. We are proud of
the Great Northern and all it has done
for US: and will continue to besloyal
10 the company that made Devils Lake
grow from 1890 in 1907 to 5,157 in
1910, but still another road means new
territory to Devils Lake and we, need
this for wholesale house purposes. Al
ready most of the grade Is completed
from Drake to Medford and all we need
to make Devils Lake have another
half million dollars Of buildings next
year is few rains in the spring. ~
-: Great Future.
Devils Lake has a great future be-
fore it. All it needs is a little good
feeling among it's business men and
lot of enthusiasm in the Commercial
Club. The $780, Wills have to build
shops. Devils Lake should have these
and can get them if it goes after them
right, In the last ten years we have
grown nearly 200 per cent. five grow
200 per cent. in the next ten 1t means
$4,000 people for Devils Lake and this
is not too much. Within the next
three years we are bound to have a
main line road from the south. We
will then be the railroad center OF the
state, and should be the largest city
In the state, but we can't add to our
population in the newspapers alone,
We must get. together. sr

Devils Lake needs a better water
supply and needs 1t at once. It wants

going to get the paper mills In; the
spring, and then we want packing

than Aastin, ,Minnesota, and ws aheuaass'

plant 5iss needed, to raise the price OF
our lands from $40 to $50 to from $50
TO $500 angaere, because it means that
we will have to supply that plant with
hundreds Of hogs daily.
There are other, Industries that we
can maintain profitably, but if we gel

mates are 10 be enjoined.
When Taxes May BE Erjoined
The court ruled that In cases where
tlefo ere no township or school de
trict estimates showing the neces-
sity for ievles, the taxes win be en-
joined
The court holds that there is no
specific day on which ievies shall b.
made. The railroads contended that
the levies were made at varying and
unauthorized times The law requires
that the levies shall be made no.
more than 10 days before meeting OF
the commissioners aud not closer tina l
within twenty days OF such meeting.
InjunctioDs will;be allowed In case,
where townships have levied ON prop
erty In Incorporated towns.
In Regard To Township Funds
IN regard 10 township funds the
comt holds that there Is nothing 70
require boards 10 maintain separate
fluids. Because they have Included

fnds that the commissioners feared

aud that such actions as we're com.
psaincd of are only irregularities;
that the commissioners were In d.

The salary Proposition
On the salary proposition Judge
iuston holds thatit Is manifestly tht
duty OF the commissioners to provide
tor salaries. Whatever the legisla-
ore may have intended by emitting a
alary fund provision, 1t did not In
end that salaries should not be pail.
learly the duty OF the commissioners
II these cases was to provide for pay
nents. Salaries are not chargeable
to any specific fund except the salary
und therefore. they must be pai'!
,ut OF the contingent fund.
In regard to the contention that
rore than five mills were levied IA
ONE school districts, the court Inds
hat the manner of expressing choice
not vital II was urged by the rat
roads that no elections were held IN
some instances The fact that the
Increases above Ave mills we're aii-
thorized by a majority of the taxpay'
RS at school meeting under the
rule of the constitution is held to be-
sufficient aud the court bolds that no
particular way Is mandatory. The
constitution does not fix the manncf'
because the mode OF choice might be
changed without violence to the COZ
stitution. The expression of a major
ity in a. clear manner Is held TO be
sufficient for an increase OF the school
levy. -,
The points decided are generally

The announcement that the earth
would probably plunge through the
comets tail some time in May has
recently been followed by another that
the spectroscope had disclosed a char

cause a wave length is as much a func
nothing whatever is known of the con-
stitution of the ether; and there are
reasons for believing that the ether is
not equally dense throughout space, and
if not, the vibrations of an atom would
be transmitted with a differing velocity
and the record of the spectroscope,
from being merely negative. would
become positively false.

the salt in this drop. Picking the
cyanogen from the comets tail is much
less wonderful, because it is not the
centrated effect of many millions of
cubic miles of cometary matter that
is examined at a single view in the
telespectroscope. Let us suppose the
comet was SO,OOo.OOO miles away when
it was examined. The telescope would
