Big INCREASE IS SHOWN
In PHONES ON FARMS
Farmers Now Appreciate the
Convenience

Atlanta, Ga, April S.-More than
seven hundred farmers in Georgia
and Alabama completed plans to put
telephones in their homes during the
month Of March. To be exact there
were 7G3 such farmers. All of them
will be connected with the town
nearest them and will get city service
ard long distance service through the
Bell system.
Reports received at the headquar-
tiers of the Southern Bell Telephone
Con Dany here indicate that all rec
or.ls for the number of farmers ar
ranging for telephone service during
any CLe month were broken DUNG
March.
In the various states comprising
the territory of the Southern Bell
Company 2,011 farmers contracted for
service connection with the Bell sys-
tem as follows:
Alabama, AS; Georgia, 318; North
Carolina, 1854; South Carolina, 2O9;
Virginia, 50; West Virginia S21.
The spread of the rural telephone
has been one of the most progressive
steps taken by the Southern farmer,
and the advantages accruing to the
farmer have been sufficient to create
a demand for telephone service in all
sections.
The rapidity of the growth may be
appreciated when it is stated that
there were 1899 farmers connected
with the Southern Bell system on
March l, 1910, and there are now ap-
proximately $4,000 such stations con-
nected or under contract. OF these
more than 11,70O are in Georgia and
Alabama.
The farmers telephones reported
for the month of March in Georgia and
Alabama are practically all new tele-
phones and represent the actual con-
struction of telephone lines by COOP
erative farmers telephone compa-
MES.
The state is a network of such lines
and almost every section of the state
can be reached by telephone.
Those farmers lines connected with
the Bell system can be reached by
long distance, so that the farmer, in
addition to being in constant commun-
lication with the nearest town can
reach almost any point within ra-
dius of 1900 miles.
The farmers own and maintain Their
own lines and in almost every case
the construction and equipment is d
standard specification, so that these
lines can be used for long distance
service. This plan of ownership .
lines enables each one to secure ser

FARGO AUTOMOBILE CLUB TO

THIS SUMMER.

The following from the Fargo Forum
will be of interest to Devils Lake peo.
pie:
The Fargo Automobile club will give
number of summer tours this year,
the first one to be held either during
the latter part of May or the first of
June. The initial trip Of the club will
probably be taken to Grand oFrks,
after which run will be taken over to
Devils Lake, returning through the east
central part Of the state.
A competent committee has select
ed routes for the benefit of members
who want to so individually. This list
will probably accompany a map which
will show all the available roads in the
state suitable for speedways and auto
mobile purposes. Nothing of this kline
has yet been attempted by any organ
ization in North Dakota, and the mem
bers Of the Fargo association feel thai
that this is an advanced step in the
right direction of securing godd road'

by the 500 road would bring the track

The second case is on the other side
of the city and involves right of way

The company was at first informed that
the required right of way, which leads
through one Of the low places on the

taken towards settlement when the
officials were later informed that the

LnTLE.INTEREST IS
SHOWN I'm ELECTION
Socialists Have Complete Ticket in Each
Ward Against Representative Busi-
ness Men---NO Excitement Here

Despite the fact that there are sever
al candidates in each ward for alder
man, the election on Monday does not
give great promise of being over-excit-
ing. In all the wards but one there
arc two business men whose politics
will play no part in their campaign
and two Socialists put up by the local
organization of that party, who will
vote solidly for their candidates.
In the first ward H. N. Halgren, the
present alderman, is up for reelection.
Mr.. Halgren is vice president of the
council and has held number of i'm
portant committee appointments dur
ing the past two years. He is hard
worker and will be an easy victor. G.
j. B. Turner and Jack Duis are pitted
against each other for the second no.

Turner. Mr.. Dus, while royal good
fellow, is but recent arrival in the

With the Cowan trial on at Bismarck
and its attendant excitement there has
not been much activity in political cir
cles over the coming election and the
fight simply resolves itself into
friendly passage between the Socialists
and the candidates who have been Sc
lected by the residents Of the various
wards Little Of fractional nature
has entered into the fight and there is
no doubt but that Il splendid represen-
tation will be secured by the city on its
council as a result Of the coming cleo

P. M. Boylan, a representative of the

In the excitement that generally sur
rounds the aldermanic election. the
.sisffzclr vi Devils sLake-Inay siceideatsl-
ly overlook one Of the important fea-
lures of the election and because they
are not sufficiently informed on the
subject fail to cast their vote for the
good of Devils Lake. The issuance of
bonds for the erection of fire hall
for the local department, the purchase
of necessary equipment and the secural
Of team of horses is a measure that
especially in the light of recent con.
flagrations in this city is most de-
sirable one.
Little or no opposition has SO fa1
developed and it is questionable if any
will, but there should be big vote
cast on that proposition.
One leading business man of the ciey
said in conversation with q represents
tive of The World: 'tWith the fire de
partment handicapped as they are u
present, it is question Of but few
months, unless drastic measures are
adopted, before the fire insurance ratel

contrary, if the department is give1

paratus and the water situation r.me
died, there is good chance for re
duction. Impress on the people th'
necessity Of voting for bonds.

throughout the state, for the use of the
farmers owning machines as well as for

Plans are already in preparation for
the June trip to Grand Forks and it is
expected it will be one of the biggest
things of its kind ever attempted in
the state. No pains nor means will

will probably lend their assistance to

they realize it will be beneficial for
them as well as an advertisement for

A press agent 5will likely be taken
along on the trip, whose business it
will be to keep the local papers we'll

nine dollars year. The majority Of
the common laborers are women and it
is no uncommon sight to see hundreds
Of them at work on the section or in
the fields. I confess 1 did not care
much for Russia
Mr.. Boylan was however pleased
with the situation in the Argentine
Republic. "The methods there" he
said. "are much more modern than in
Russia. Labor is worth about $l.75
per day and the farmers nearly all use
modern machinery The government is
more like ours and that probably ac-
counts for it. Though easier for the
wholesaler to do business the LAND
grants IN that country have proved a
mistake to the prosperity of the Repub-
lie. In the early days enormous tracts
Of land were given to generals and the
men who proved of assistance in the
revolution. Now the government is en-
deavoring to buy the land back and
allow homesteaders to settle it,

That there is little chance Of the 500
completing their line into Devils Lake
this summer and that there is pos
sibility Of their never coming into this
city with the proposed road, unless
the holdup methods that have been
adopted by small bunch of property
owners are discontinued, is the positive
statement of prominent official Of
the 500 road who was here last Satur-
day investigating the conditions.
Though the majority of the property
owners have been eminently fair in
their settlements with the road, as is
shown by the comparatively small num-
ber of condemnation suits that have
been started, there are two cases with,
in the city limits that will deter the
road from coming in owing to the enor,
nous damages asked.
The one that is causing the most
comment is the claim of the Farmers
road, through its president, J. NJ. Kel
ly, for $4,000 for permission to cross
it's yards, which were not built until

circulated, when he bought a lot in
another ward to which he will probab-
ly move when his house is completed.
Mr.. Turner is an old resident, a heavy
tax payer and is popular among the
residents of his ward. The Socialists
in the First are p T.. Rakken and Mar
tin johnson.
In the second ward, S. l.. Wineman,
formerly mayor and one of the heaviest
tax payers in the city is the leading
candidate. Geo. H. Strasburg, whose
petition was presented by the laboring
men Of his ward, will make an excellent
alderman if elected and from all indi-
cations promises to be the second high
man. j. A. VanLiew and l., G. Mart
are the other two candidates, both of
whom, it is claimed, are Socialists.
In the third ward Alois Walters and
Ole Ohnstad, both heavy tax payers
and well known citizens, are running
while the Socialists have put up tn.
Bryan of their party, P. G. Miller, who
has been candidate for Office for the
past three years.

entering Devils Lake. The matter has
been brought to the attention of the
Commercial club and it is understood
that the railroad committee will get in
touch with the 500 officials and offer
to see what can be done towards
bringing the property owners and the
road to fair agreement.
It is hard to believe that any bust
ness or professional man would wilfully
attempt to secure such extortionate
settlements from railroad whose en-.
trance to the city would mean so much
good.
A similar case at Minot in the eff.
forts of certain interests in that city
who blocked the 500 depot has re
suited in delay of eighteen months
in the construction of $50,OO0.00 sta
tion and the lengthy litigation which
resulted has just been settled, so that
the road will now start the new struc
ture for which they had the money ant
the greater part Of the property two
years ago.

L. J. WEiE CLAIMS STATEMENT
MADE LAST WEEK IS NOT IN
ACCORDANCE WITH FACTS.

At the request Of L. J. Wehe, The
World wishes to correct an error which
occurred in its news columns last week
when it was claimed that Mr.. Wehe
had agreed to take $25 from his clients
charged with robbery, for the prelimi.
nary hearing.
The report was generally circulated
on the street by the two men charged
with the crime. Mr.. Wehe in an inter.
view with representative of The
World said: "I did not agree to take
$e5 for the preliminary hearing. L
said l would take all they had and it
was to get the money that garnisheed
the sheriff, who held their funds.'
We trust this explanation will
straightcn out the matter.
