A CREAMERY At RYDER.

Ryder will have a creamery, At
least that Is in all probability it will.
At a recent meeting of farmers and
business men. The Ryder Cream
cry company" was organized
with capital of $4,000
$4,000 of which must be raised at
once. A committee was appointed
to get the stock subscribed, the farm
ers giving notes and in case .ne
creamery will not be built, those notes
will be void
A representative Of a Minneapolis
creamery manufacturing company ex-
planned that sinking fund could be
established, with one cent for every
pound of butter fat sold to the cream
cry, and in some places this works
out SO we'll that the subscribers' notes
are all paid for.
If the Ryder farmers will take the
trouble to milk cows, there il no rsa-
son why = we'll managed creamery
will not pay.

FLAX Thief PLEADS
GUILTY OF LARCENY

Ernest Ferries of Des Laos who
was on trial in district court charged
with stealing fax from Mr.. Richard
son, was found guilty Of petty larceny
Friday night after the jury had bsen
out for several hours. The verdict
was q complete surprise as II: was
-sensrally concedAd tlAt q It Fers1aan
was guilty at all, he was guilty OF
grand larceny. All that he can now
receive is county Jail sentence.
The case was hard fought. States
Atty. Nash put up very hard fight,
and Atty. MCGEE fought back just as
hard at every turn of the road. The
whole of Des Lacs was on hand to
hear the testimony and many wit
nesses were examined.
Richardson fax was found in
Ferries granary. Ferries claimed
that he did not know how it
came to be there but 1t was shown
that it was hauled there In his sleigh.
He loaded up the fax and hauled it
back to the Richardson farm. He
said he believed that some of his
neighbors knew how it came to be
there. The case against Ferries was
entirely circumstantial, but the state
made out an excellent case.

VELVA GETS THE
SUMNER SCHOOL
Commercial Club Of Aggressive Little
City Makes Offer That 10 Accepted
by Four Out Of Seven County Sv-
perintendents Voting.

At a meeting of the superintendents
of school Of Ward, Mountrail, Divide,
Burke, Renville, McHenry, Bottineau
and Pierce counties, held in Minot,
Monday, Velva was chosen as the To-
cation for the summer school for
teachers to be held from July II to
Aug. IL. Three counties, Ward,
Mountrail and Renville favored Minot,
which city represented by Martin ia
cobson, a member of the school board,
and Secretary Ellis of the CONNER
cial club, extended an invitation to
the teachers.
Mayor Bierly of Velva was present
with an invitation from the CONNER
cial club of Velva, laying before the
superintendents the reasons Why
Velva should be chosen. The Com
mercial club offered free rent to the
association and guaranteed that
board and room would not cost more
than IS. so or $500 week. Velva
also showed that Minot had been
the meeting place of the teachers for
several years in succession.
Secretary Ellis guaranteed that
board would cost the teachers no
more in Minot than in Velva, and Mar
tin Jacobson assured the superinten-
dents that tho Incidental expenses
that had been charged against the as
sociation in former years would be
forgotten in the event that the su-
perintendents selected Minot this yeaI
He showed that Minot was the logical
place for the school because of the
excellent railroad facilities and be-
cause the 400 or 500 teachers who are
to attend could be we'll taken Of.
The velva Commercial club evi-
IDENTIFY had been active for several
weeks, and no doubt had the promise
of several of the superintendents.

BURKE VET0ES
four BILLS

Bismarck, n. D., March 1S.-Gov-
ernor Burke yesterday afternoon We
toed the Hoge primary election bill,
H. B. 26O, which provided for the
election of candidates by popular vote
and relating to their nomination. The
features of the bill related particular
~ to the percentage of votes required
to nominate candidates.
Among the other bills which fell un-
der the governors veto ak were the
duplicate house bill providing for the
STAT, 900 appropriation for the state
university at Grand Forks, and H. B.
445, which is the duplicate house bill
for an appropriation for a state hos
pital for the insane at jamestown.
The DISCARD bill, H. B. 262, the fa-
nous congressional apportionment
bill, over which there was a three
days deadlock at the close of the ses-
sion, was also vetoed. The DISCARD
bill originally provided for north
eastern, southeastern and western
district for the state for congressional
purposes, but was so amended that
it finally provided for three equal
strip districts running north a~d
south from border to border. Its
passage came Just as intelligence was
received from Washington that the
congressional reapportionment bill
had been killed in the senate com
mitteo.
Another bill killed was n. B. zSS,
which would have appropriated $15,'
OoO out Of the capitol building fund
for the extension Of the state street
railway line to the penitentiary. The
bill was vetoed on the ground that
it was unconstitutional and the gov
ernor explained his action in 5000
word veto message.

CONTEMPTIRLE DREAMING

II the stupid perversity of the op.
position papers were not so we'll known.
and their dense bigotry and ferocious
hatred so fully recognized by the. peo.
pie of this city, the public would be
surprised TO see the attitude of the op-
position organs with respect to the
closing of the stockade. - and the out
cry they make about it. They have
evidently INDUCED in the hope that they
would reap large benefits from it's ex.
istencc during the ensuing municipal
campaign The meanspirited and un-
warranted suspicious which the opposi.
ton press are undertaking to throw up.
on the suppression Of the "stockade' -
and the order for It's final break. .up
merely show the nsrrowness Of the
minds that throw that suspicion, and
the flintiness Of the hearts that harbor
such bigoted suspicious.
There can be nothing more certain
than that the stockade' is closed,
and closed for good. 1t is impossible
that the woman who has managed it
heretofore should be able to even think
of reopening lit; besides, Mayor Brans-
ford empbatically says that he would
not suffer anything of the kind The
Sheriff also, whose duty it has been
all the time TO close that stockade, -
and who at one time did close it and
announced that he would never allow
il to open again, but did allow il, is
now willing that it shall close and stay
closed

DERN REBUKEs SUTHERLAND.

| At the meeting Of the committee ap-
pointed by the business men in the
interests of .partisanship in the
coming municipal election, Mr. John
Dern took occasion TO administer fit
ting rebuke to the fanatical and mali
cious remarks of Senator Sutherland TO
the effect that the bipartisan move
ment was being fostercd for the pur-
pose Of defeating the American party.
Mr. Dern made emphatic objection to
this, stating that the non.partisan
movement was not aimed at the Ameri-
party, and that if it were directed
against the American party it would
fail, and ii ought to fail. Continuing,
Mr., Dern very justly said. "the citi
zens of Salt Lake are sound and sensi-
bic, and stand for good government;
and any movement not having as its
basic principle good government must
fall
This is the soundest sort of good
sensible talk. \ on-partisanship
which is by its very terms confessed
to be partisan, as Senator Sutherland
alleged it to be, would necessarily
arouse partisan feeling, partisan resent
ment, and partisan opposition. Any
movement organized against the Amer
lean party or specifically against any
party, is a political movement, no mat
ter how much it may claim TO be non
partisan. This is so plain as TO need
no discussion; and Mr.. Dern did not
stoop TO discuss il, but simply assumed
the fact to be as the fact is, that non
partisanship must be non ~partisanshlp,
and must not enter the list as a party
against any other party.
In very few clear and sensible re-
marks, Mr.. Dern cleared away the so.
phistical, malicious, mischievious re-
marks of Senator Sutherland, and put
the non partisan movement on the only
possible basis upon which it can fairly
rest 1t was merited and proper re-
buke; and those engaged in the non.
partisan movement especially should be
thankful to Mr.. Dern for administering
IT as against the pernicious folly pro-
claimed by Senator Sutherland.

TIE WORK OF NOBLE WOMEN

The women of this city who have
moved so effectually for the abolition
of the redlight district, this in the in
| terest of the community morals and
health. are entitled to unstinted praise
| for their excellent and accomplished
work.
The chief OF the stockade' has
publicly admitted that 1t was the work
of the women which caused her to or
der the closing of the polluted district.
And, as this woman ordered the clos
ing on her own responsibility and with
out consulting anybody, her explanation
in this respect is entitled TO full faith
and credence
The women of Salt Lake City have
been much outraged for long time
by reason of the existence of the
stockade' or ''redlighr district. y
They have felt that it was blot upon
the good name of the city, and re-
proach to themselves inasmuch as they
are equal voters with men, and must
bear their full share Of the response
bility accruing by reason of any such
disgraceful cesspool of immortality.
In order to remove the reproach from
the city, and to square themselves with
their own conscienccs, they moved Wig
orously and triumphantly, To question
their work is to insult decency, The
crowning outrage which gave activity
to their long-felt desires for purifca-
tion of the moral ulcer which has ex-
listed on the west side, was the proved
pandering of the proprietress of the
50 tockade,' and her conviction of
leading a young girl into the paths of
dishonor. That was enough to arouse
the city; and the good women, taking
that for their Incentive, proceeded TO
instant and energetic work. That work
produced immediate effect, and the
" stockade - is now thing of the past.
For this great relief, and for the lift
ing of the stigma from the good name
of Salt Lake City. the noble women
whose work brought this relief about.
are entitled TO the warmest recognition
as good, public-spirited citizens, and
effective workers in the good cause of
mora lity
