Bickford Sentenced

The Bickford case, after a number
of adjournments, was brought be
fore Judge Crawford this morning
ut ten o'clock. The case had been
argued before the attorneys in
Bismarck yesterday and the Judge
gave the sentence at once. Bick-
ford was fined $l09.3O, or double
the amount he was said to have
embezzled, and costs in the sum
of $500 making a total of $5O9.30
and given an indeterminate SEN
tence of from one to three years.
Geo. Bangs, attorney for the
defendant, asked for an appeal to
the supreme court which was
granted by the judge. Bickford
was placed under $4,000 bonds
until his case is heard next April
in Bismarck.
The ex-state treasurer left on
the afternoon train for his home
at Bowbells.

Doing Good Work

The idea of a university doing
it's part toward developing the
material resources of common
wealth is a comparatively new ono
in this state, but visitors at the
Industrial Exposition at Bismarck,
which closed last Saturday, have
carried away with them some very
definite ideas on this score. The
showing of Ignite briquettes,
made at the university mining
station at Hebron, and of the
many different useful products
that may be developed from North
Dakota clay has been revelation
to many people. From inan-
cial standpoint, the briquetting
process, which has been worked
out by the university, when the
people of the state have fully
awakened to the possibilities that
are thus opened, will fully justify
every cent that has been spent for
the maintenance of the uni
versity in the past for
many years to come. The work Of
experimentation has now pro-
gressed so far that there is now no
longer any doubt about the
practical phases of work and it re-
mains now only for men possessed
Of sufficient capital to take hold Of
the manufacture of those briquett-
es and the fuel problem of this
region will be solved.
Equipment is being added to
that already in place in the school
of mines at the University, 90
that this process can be taught to
the students there. This. together
with the work already done in
the teaching of how to make the
clays of the state into articles o9
use and beauty, represents phase
of mining engineering that 10
very practical indeed for this state,
and in those times of effort, young
men who have q taste and adapt
ability for such work may we'll find
abundant opportunities for adj
vaucement.

Back From Canada

Elmer and f. w. Larson re-
turned last week from Moosejaw,
Canada. f. w. does not bring
back that glowing account that we
heard SO many times about the
great British north. He says.
"The country is as beautiful to
look upon as the heart could de-
sire. Wheat and oats when shock.
ed stood four and five feet high
after cutting as high as was pos
sible with binder, but it is most
all straw, and great deal of it was
frozen.
There is all kinds of work to be
had at from $500 to $2.75 per day.
Everything you have to buy, is
about double what it is here (ex-
cept woolen goods.) The water is
simply something awful. You
can pump a pail of water from
their best wells and let it stand
two or three hours and you can
see thousands of wiggletails in it
with the naked eye.
Moosejaw has a population of
about $1,000 and there are 500 or
600 teams employed by the city
and host of men. A bed costs
81 per night and meals as rule
cost 4Oc. The mounted police are
strong on the graft and get in
their work every chance they have.
Two weeks ago they had a snow
storm that lasted about 20 hours,
the or. und was warm and it kept
gradually melting all the time and
when it stopped showing there
was six inches of snow on the
ground.
Typhoid and Scarlet fever are
raging in that country, the hos
pital at Moosejaw had 76 cases of
Scarlet fever alone, the day we
left. Numbers are dying there
and being shipped back to the
states for burial.
Fred says the states are good
enough for him. ''No more Can
ada for me- This is a different
story to that we generally hear
about the Canadian country. Mr..
Larson is a man capable Of judg-
ing country by the signs to be
seen and the truth Of this cannot
be doubted.
Every rose has it's thorn.

Secretary Olson will devote hie
entire time to the. business of the
league and there is much enthusi.
asm in all the ID counties included
in the league.
One of the first things con-
sidered will be the preparation OF
a big exhibit for the St. Paul land
show. The effort will not close
with st Paul, however, as arrange.
ments are being made to extend
the field of operation further east
and it is probable that exhibits
will be made of North Dakota
products in New York during the
winter.
The western portion of the state
feels that it has not been fairly
represented heretofore, and this
belief has led to the organization
including the IA counties named.
The officers and committeeman are
all prominent in North Dakota
affairs and they will WELD a
mighty influence, backed as they
are by unanimous sentiment in
their counties, in the development
of the state.
Meetings will be held from time
to time and the work prosecuted
with vim and vigor.-Tribune.

often two at time.
Bro. Masters, pastor of the Broad
way Baptist church, arose and spoke
with heartfelt appreciation OF the
splendid work OF Rev Adair, a talk
which was followed by similar eXpres-
sons from the pastors OF the Metho-
dist and Presbyterian churches.
Judge Stil.well II. Russell, con
vert of this revival, arose and stated
that it was worth more to the business
men and the people of Ardmore than
a new railroad; that it was worth
more to them than anything else
could have been and gave gloNir-
culogy to Rev. Adair.
At last Bro. Caisin telephoned that
the physicians We're with Rev. Adair
and his condition was so much worse
that it would not be possible for MIN
to be present
In spite of the disappointment and
snXiety the announcement occasioned.
n splendid service followed.
Rev Lee spoke of sowing good
seeds.
Rev Lee is an earnest, interesting
speaker and his illustrations were alt.
driving the truths straight home. His
sermons during Rev. Adair's illness
were heard with universal apprecia-
ton and he has been blessed with
of conversions.
Today We are all back at our work
a-ain and the big tabernacle is being
torn down, but long after it is gore
ard other buildings have replaced it
the good effects of this revival will hs

spiritual feast will multiply instead OF

before and have told their
