SHIP POTATOES
FROM IRELAND

An important factor which is
steadying prices ia the potato mar
kets OF this county, especially in
centers like Moorhead and Sabin,
which are considered the authorities
to bank on among the big buyers in
Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri are
the importations from Europe. A ca
blegram from Dublin, Ireland. stated
yesterday that 100000 bushels of po-
tatoes had been contracted for and
would be consigned to buyers in Tex
as. There was silence on the matter
OF the price per bushe that was
paid. This importation is to iii a.
gap In the lone star state where not
enough potatoes for local consump-
ton We're grown there this year.
The potato men were exceedingly
active In Moorhead today and q great

JUDGE DECIDES
PARAMOUNT CASE
POLLOCK 10 HOME FROM wAH-
PEToN WHERE HE HAS DEcIp-
Ed THE FAMOUS SCHOOL BOND
CASE or FAlRMoNT DISTRICT
INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.

The famous school bond case OF
the Fairmount school district In Rich
land county has been decided by Judge
Pollock, who returned from Wahpeton
this morning where he heard the case.
The court ordered the temporary in
Junction in the case dissolved and
the bonds can now be sold. The case
will be appealed.
The action is especially widely
known from the fact that it has twice
been to the supreme court and that
during the action one of the attorneys
changed from counsel for the plaintiffs
70 counsel for the defendant. The case
was entitled T. F. Williams, ct al, VS..
Fairmount school district.
April 80, 1907, the voters in the
school district voted to issue $4,000
In bonds for the purpose Of building
a new school house. At that time two
members Of the school board favored
the bond issue and one member was
opposed.
just before the bonds were sold the
board election was held and a new
man came to the school board who
was opposed to the bond issue Civ
ing a majority on the board for the
opposition.
Williams then brought suit to en-
join the board from selling the bonds,
alleging that fifteen Of the persons
who voted for 1t were not voters.
Judge Lauder Of Wahpeton was re-
tanned as the attorney for the board
and he fled an answer denying the
allegation,
The board then came to Lauder and
instructed him to ask the court to
enter judgment IN favor OF the plain
tin. Being an honorable attorney
Judge Lauder refused to do SO and
the board informed him that he was
dismissed. The attorney refused 20
recognize the dismissal but the board
retained Dan r.. Jones. who asked
the court to give Judgment to the
plaintiff against the board. In the
meantime petition had been circu-
lated by the people asking the court to
allow Lauder to act for the people
but the petition was denied.
Jones had secured Judgment for the
plaintiff and the court was asked to
vacate the judgment but denied the
request.
The matter was then carried to the
supreme court by Judge Lauder act
Ing for a number of the people. The
higher court decided that the lower
court had erred and that the decision
was conclusive. illegal and void.
The matter then went back to the
district court and Lauder made appli-
cation to have the Judgment vacated
and 1t was granted. The board then
appealed to the supreme court and the |
over court was affirmed in the vaca-
Ion Of the Judgment.
The case then fell back on it's ori- |
yinal basis and Judge Pollock decided |
hat the votes cast were legally made, |
sufficient to make the election valid. |
Reporter Green OF the court also re-
turned with Mr. Pollock from Wah- |
oeton where he has been taking the
testimony In the case
During the last summer Judge Pol |
ock heard one days testimony In |
he case and then held 1t up until
his week.

Profitable FarmIru.

Crookston paper tells Of a demon
stration Of profitable farming In that
part of the Red river valley. George
Malin, day or two ago, threshed 2O5
bushels OF flax from eight acres and
sold 1t Immediately at $2.25 bushel
and received $461.25 for his crop, net
ting him return of $3.50 an acre.
When Mr.. Malin bought. the land
few years ago he was told he would
go bump for paying the price he did
and was generally numerically de-
rided. He has never failed to get
good returns from any portion of his
holding and this year his corn crop
is turning out to be especially profit
able.

evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, Oct. S.--The market opened
a shade higher and ruled strong with
free covering by local shorts. Prices
eased somewhat from the high point
after noon. Continued wet weather In
the northwest and reports OF further
deterioration In stacked wheat caused
spring wheat markets to rule strong,
Minneapolis leading the advance.
Southwestern markets showed about
the same relative strength as our own.
There was very little inquiry here for
cash wheat for shipment although we
know of one small lot Of No. red
sold to 60 out. We see nothing in the
situation at the moment to cause any
particular change In values but stu
prefer the long side on weak spots.

mass of broken wires and splintered

The bruised and battered body was

where physicians made every effort to

seemed that the battle against death
was won, but the breath was only a
dying sign and a few minutes later he
was pronounced dead.

disappeared in the lake. She implored
friend to take her to the lake shore,
where an ambulance was waiting for
the body to be recovered.
My poor boy! My poor boy" she
moaned piteously.

is the position of the self-respecting
citizen who resents being treated as
an irresponsible child by the territor-
dal administration. There may be
citizens, outside of those directly in
terested in the deal for business rea-
sons, who favor the change; but, if
so, the Tribune has not heard of them
or from them.
The people of Hilo believe that they
have good reasons to back up their
arguments in favor of keeping the
armory where it is. People who spend
their Lives here believe that they
know about as much about what is
good and what is bad for Hilo as do
the officials who on very rare oc-
casions honor the city with a headlong
ruch through it's confines. But, even
Il the entire population, with the ex-
! ception of the scant dozen firms which
signed the petition for the removal Of
the armory, are children, idiots or min
! MES, even if the territorial officials be
ever so sincere in their opinion that
we need sort of collective guardian,
the fact remains that, in spite of our
| bemGhted condition, we are still en-
titled to be consulted to some degree
when the question of the expenditure
of the money we pay as taxes is con-
cerned. The Tribune believes that if
the community were unanimous in a de-
mand that the court house be painted
salmon pink with ultra-marine stripes
and purple polkadots, particularly if
that style of decoration cost no more
than the one usually provided, the
governor and the superintendent Of
public works would have no more
right to interfere with the fulfillment
of the community's wishes than would
tailor have to forbid a customers
going to a dance in an evening suit
With a red tie. The aesthetic tastes of
Messrs. Frear and Campbell may be
shocked, as would be those of the
sertorial artist of our illustration, at
the depravity of taste displayed, but
neither has the moral right to forbid
their employers from having what they
want, as long as these wants are law
full and harmless.
The Tribune believes that the gov

questions by letting the armory stay

itself. He should remember, as an

plunge of 200 feet at an angle of more
than As degrees. At the proper mo-

proved more than the biplane was able
to resist. 1t was thought at first that
the propeller chains had broken, but
according to Roy Knabenshue of the
Wright team, who was near at the
time, the accident was due to the fool
hardness of the driver in taking a
losing chance
Half a dozen trained nurses, who
have been on the ground continually,

to the scene and extricated Badger,
who was bleeding and unconscious.
He was taken to st. Luke's Hospital,
