ALFALFA CABIN
Is CENTER PIECE
WAS BUILT AT ToWNER AND
SHIPPED TO THE ST. PAUL
LAND SHOW.

Towner, n. d.. Dec. T. THE CEN
tral figure Of the North Dakota ex-
hibit at the st. Paul land show viii
be an alfalfa log cabin which was
made in Towner and was shipped to St
Paul
The alfalfa log cabin is or a very
unique design, being eight feet wide
ten feet high. It is built along the
lines Of the primitive log cabin with
low, squatty roof, three small windows
and big fire place with q log chin-
ney.
Why 1t Is called an alfalfa cabin,
is that alfalfa is woven in among
screen. wire. which were made in the
shape OF logs and built along the
same lines as log cabin. The aft
alta was gathered around Towner and
has been kept green so that 1t viii
make very attractive display for
North Dakota.
Commissioner of Agriculture Gill
breath and s. W.. Wheelon were the
originators of the scheme and Mr..
wheelon and score of men working
for nearly three weeks designing and
building the cabin. When 1t is erect
ed at st. Paul fire place will be built
Of North Dakota brick and North Da-
kota briquette will be used for fuel.
On the inside of the cabin will be
exhibits of various kinds, such as fruit
grown in North Dakota, vegetables,
grains, and grasses and pottery made
from North Dakota clay. There will
be chairs and tables made in the man
ual training department of the North
Dakota schools and we venture to say
that not one Of the many thousands Of
people who will visit the land show
will pass up the opportunity of going
inside the alfalfa cabin built in Tow
ner.

gun and that it was tied to stump.

not play with the gun as it was dan

when the gun went off, one shot
striking me in the arm, as was stated
in the Pioneer last evening. When

.BAUDETTE SALOON CLOSED
Owners Lose License Because They
Sold Liquor Sunday.

That the officials of Baudette in
tend to have no law breakers in that
little city is made evident from the
following, taken from the current
issue of the Region:
AT a meeting of the council this
morning the saloon license of Thi-
bault Bros was cancelled and they
were given until tonight to close
their doors. Ten days were allowed
them to dispose of the stock by
Wholesale. The charge was that
their saloon was open last Sunday
and that intoxicating liquor was sold
by the owners on that day. The
charge was not denied, but counsel
for Thibault Bros asked the privil-
eye of having the license transferred
to someone else, but the council
would not agree to this, and the sa-
loon will cease to exist after today
This is the first case of the kind in
the history of Baudette and is an in.
dication of the policy to be pursued
from now on

RESPECT TO ARMY UNIFORM
Measure Providing That to Disrespect
One is Cause for Fine Made Law. :.

While the matter is not, perhaps,
of vital Importance. many are glad to
note that congress has taken steps
to see that the uniform of Uncle
Sans soldiers and sailors shall not
be regarded as livery of disgrace.
From time to time in various parts
of the country there has been trouble
because hotels, theatres and other
places where the public congregates
have refused admittance to soldiers
and sailors in uniform. The only
remedy for such refusal in the past
has been a civil suit in the courts
which, of course, private soldiers or
able seamen were hardly able to put
in motion.
A bill has now been approved by
both houses of congress making a
show of disrespect for the uniform
of Uncle Sam punishable by fine.
The House thought that such idisre-
spect should be punished by a fine
Of $1,000 and a term of imprison-
ment. The senate cut out the inn
prisonment feature and reduced the
maximum fine to $500. Even so,
this should act as a deterrent to an
offense that has it's origin in mere
snobbishness and a spirit that is de-
cidedly not American. y ~ -
One other thing that would help
to inculcate and maintain respect
for the uniform of Uncle Sam would
be a law prohibiting the copying of
it for the use of hotel porters, lack
eys and bell boys This is an offense
that is common throughout the. coun-
try and one that has caused not only
the privates, but some distinguishes
| officers, considerable annoyance.
| The uniform of the United States
army and navy is a livery of honor
it's prestige and meaning should not
be sullied 4,

had heard that, afterwards, Mr.. War
ner had objected to his criticism.
Upon being examined by C. r.
Fowler, Mr.. Ralph admitted that a
portion of the drainage ditch con-
tracts has been flagrantly ignored in
the past. The contract specifies that
Is per cent of the stipulated cost of
the ditch shall be held back by the
drainage commission. In making ad-
vance payments, Mr.. Ralph said only
enough had been held back to insure
the completion of the ditch and that
the value of the material and the
dredge had been taken into consider
alton in estimating the amount to be
advanced. He said this matter
would be taken up with the attorney
general who sustained his position.
~ Irving Inness of Aitkin testified to
an examination of ditch sc which
showed that it was from to 4 feet
shallow. For instance, Mr.. Inness in
an examination made in July and
August, last summer, foud that where
the ditch should be 60 feet deep it
was s; where it should be Z to it
was to 4; where it should be 10 it
was 3; where it should be 7, it was
5; at another point where it should
be 7, it was to g.; where it should be
rs it was 4 and one point where it
should be it was 2.
On cross examination, he admitted
that his measurements were not &C
curate, did not pretend to be accur-
ate and could not be accurate made
in the manner he adopted. His sys-
tenn was to stretch a steel tape line
across the ditch and measure to the
centre of the bottom of the ditch
from this line. He said he did not
know where the bench marks were
and admitted that he had seen only
two or three dredges. At the time
the measurements were made, he said
he did not know whether the contrac-
tor considered the ditch completed.
The investigation was continued
at 9 o'clock this morning.

Observation-Disclosures i 4
Aim to Play Columbia for American
Basketball Championship.

Minnesota wants to meet Purdue
in an extra game to decide the cham
pionship of the conference beyond
any question. While Minnesota and
games won the gophers have the bet
ter of the argument inasmuch as they
have defeated Purdue twice decisive
ly this season, once at Lafayette and
once in Minneapolis. But in the eyes
of some of the basketball critics this
may seem insufficient to give title to
the Minnesotans, and they are will
ing to meet Purdue to decide the
title.
Minnesota wants to win the
championship and then play Column
bia for the championship of the
United States. Columbia wants such
a game Purdue has nothing on the
Minnesota five, which has finished
the season in the best of shape and
is right now better than at any time
during the season.
If Purdue agrees to game the
gophers are willing that it should be
played on a Chicago floor, as was
suggested by the Chicago officials
here Saturday night. By playing on
the Chicago floor neither team will
have an advantage, although Mime
sofa would be worn by a longer trip
than the boiler makers The team
is in readiness and will keep in per-
feet trim until an answer is received
from Purdue as to this game.
