Three Railroads Fight
Over 100 Acre Farm
Great Northern clashed With the 500 Line Over
Land Wanted for a New Extension
Case to be Fought Out In Court.

In the southern part of McHen-
ry county the same ground is want
ed by the Great Northern and 500
line right-of-way agents.
The first clash came over the
purchase of land from Albert Pat
tes, in which matter the Great
Northern has secured writ of in
junction against the 500 enjoin-
ing them from taking any further
steps towards securing possession
of the ground.
The Great Northern men had
arrived on the scene first and had
secured a deed to a portion of the
property. The day following a
500 right-of-way agent appeared
on the scene and bought the entire
farm for $4,000 cold cash, secur-
ing deed.

Miss Anna Moe this week sold
her claim south of town to Mr..
Conklin of Rugby, the considera-
tion being $4,000.
The sheriff and states attorney
dropped into Max one day last
week and nabbed one L. G. Trent
on a charge of violating the pro-
hibition law. The offender was
given a hearing and bound over
to the district court, his bail be-
ing fixed at $3.50.
n Our citizens got busy Wednes-
day and dug out all the rocks on
our Main street and hauled them
away. The street is now in a
much better condition, and lit
tie more work in the way of level
ing up and filling up the holes
would put it in first class shape.

Pedestrians are getting SO used

or travel over piles of sand during
the time that our sidewalks are all
torn up to be replaced by cement
that it will be hard for us to break
up the habit when the new walks
are completed.
Sheriff Callahan was down from
cClusky on business last Thurs
day and had a very strenuous time
of it getting possession of some

OPENING OF
RESERVATION
A Full Text Of Act That viii Open
About 100000 Acres Of Fort
BerthOM Indian Land.

The Leader publishes herewith
the full text Of the act that has
passed the house, been recon-
mended to the senate and will soon
pass, for the opening of a portion
of the Fort Berthold Indian reser-
walton. The lands that will be.
opened comprise about 100000
acres after the allotments for the
Indians have been taken out. That.
part of the reservation south and.
west of the Missouri river has not
been thrown open. The lands
chosen by the Indians who were al
lowed to take land in several locali-i
ties before the opening, lies mostly
along the river so that the lands
tnat will be open to purchase at the
appraised value now contain no
settlers. It is considered a very
choice lot of land, much Off being
as good as any in the state. On ac-'
count of this fact the appraised val
ue of the lands will run from $500
per acre up. The fact that the lands
are choice and that it will require
some capital to enter them and to
comply with the law insures very
desirable class of settlers and that
this section is looked upon as a
prize is shown by the fact that both
the Northern Pacific and the 500
are making haste to reach it and be
ready for the opening, which will
probably not occur until next
spring. The following is the text
of the Hanna bill as it now stands:

Justice Court Notes

The Justice Of the peace has
been busy man settling questions
and charging the district court
calendar. Alexander Winquist, &C.
cused of grand larceny, was given
a hearing recently. Winquist was
charged with the theft of eleven
horses belonging to Henry Cur
rier. The horses were stolen June
|8, 1909. Winquist was bound
over to district court.
Complaint was filed this month
against Ed. Waltenberg, residing
near Greatstone, charging him
WITH failing to send his son to
school. It developed that Walten-
berg was ignorant Of the school
laws of North Dakota and promis-
ed to send his son to school in the
future. He was fined $40.
Gustaf Neumiller, the boy who
threw a stone causing the death
of Jacob Walitarsky; was given a
hearing last Friday in justice
court. The case was continued
until tomorrow in order that Mr..
Neumiller might secure counsel.
Both families reside about fifteen
miles from Washburn and speak
very little English.

They Celebrated

Last Tuesday the Norwegians
celebrated their day by ohalleng-
ing ''The World" to q game Of ball.
The game was called at -four
O'Clock and although there we're q
number who had not played for
several years, It was . good game
with plenty Of excitement for the
rooters. Fingers were somewhat
bruised ard ankles sprained but
the game. went on thru the nine
innings leaving "The World' the
victors by q score Of 12 70 Z.
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1910-05-20
less than $900,0OO,O00.

So it is apparent that there was
a practical compliance with the
pledge of downward revision. 1t
seems to me, however, that there
should have been a far more
general reduction and that great
many of the reductions that were
made ought to have been reduced
still more. To what extent a re-
duction could and ought to have
been made consistently with the
protective tariff theory in "a par
ticular instance. I do not pretend
to know. That could not be
known without a full and accurate
knowledge of all the facts.
The WOODEN schedule of the
Dingley act seems to me extremely
objectable and the retentions Of
that schedule practically unchang-
ed in the Payne-Aldrich act is one
of the most serious objections to
it. The failure to effect a down.
ward revision of the cotton sche-
dule seems to me subject to grave
criticism.
Although the duties on lumber
were very substantially reduced,
I think that lumber, or at least the
grades in everyday use, ought to
have been put on the free list.
Question g.: Do you believe
that Senator McCumber worked
for the best interests of the people
during the revision of the tariff?
Answer: The answer is irrelev-
ant and immaterial so far as my
candidacy is concerned, but I
waive the objection.
I believe that Senator Nc
Cumber worked in good faith for
what he believed to be the best
interests Of the people. His gen.
eral course with respect to the
tariff was apparently the same as
that Of the other three representa-
tives of this state, including that
Of Congressman Gronna. The po-
sition taken by them was fairly
stated by Congressman Gronna in
his speech in support Of the bill
in the house on April 8, 1909.
Congressional Record. p. 952.)
He said among other things:
"If in these remarks it shall ap-
pear that my opinion as to the de-
STABILITY of certain duties differ
from the opinion of a majority OF
the comm ittee on ways and means,

JUDGE ENGERUD
IS ON CAMPAIGN
He Answers Some Questions Given
to Him by the Fargo Search
fights Progressive.

Searchlight put some questions
to Judge Engerud, candidate for
nomination as U. S. Senator, to
which Judge Engerud has applied
in an open letter in the Search
light, Judge Engerud replies
fairly to the questions put to him
and says:
1t gives me great pleasure to
avail myself Of your columns to
answer the questions which you
addressed to me in your issue of
April 30.
Question L: Do you believe
that the revision of the tariff was
just one, and redeemed the
pledges in the republican platform
of 1908?
Answer: I do not believe that
the revision was just, and conse-
quently do not believe that it was
a complete redemption of the party
pledge. On many of the items Of
Importance to North Dakota there
was, however, a substantial re-
vision downward. The counter
vailing duty provided in the
Diugley bill on petroleum and its
products was abolished thus put
ting those important products on
the free list. Fence posts were
also put on the free list.
The duty on farm implements,
which was formerly 20 per cent,
was reduced to Is per cent, with
the further proviso that no duty
should be imposed except imple-
ments imported ffom a country
which imposed a duty on similar
articles.
Harness and saddlery, formerly
dutiable at IS per cent we're re-
duced to 20 per cent.
The duty of 25 per cent on
boots and shoes in common use
was reduced to 10 per cent.
There was a general reduction
of from Ii to Is per cent on manu-
factured products Of leather.
The duty on iron and manufac-
lures of iron, including wire fenc.
ing and building material, was re-
duced from 20 per cent to 60 per
cent.
The duty on coal was reduced
33 per cent.
The duty on meat products was
reduced 20 to 25 per cent.
It would take too much space
to cite all specifi f G
instances of the reductions. I
mention those above enumerated
because they are Of special interest
in this state.
Speaking generally, there were
about $50 items upon which the
the duty was reduced and about
$50 upon which the duty was in
creased.
The aggregate value of articles
upon which duties were reduced
was nearly $5,OOO,O0O,0OO, while
the aggregate value Of those upon
which the duty was increased was
