BUSINESS MEN MAY
 FIGHT PRESIDENT Politics Promised for the Democratic Convention BALTIMORE LEADING
Washington Misses Conspicuous Fig ure in Admiral Schley = Dr. Holmes Visited Alaska-He
 Is Glad to Get Back
Ry RALPH M. wHITEsIDE

Washington, October 21.-(Special)- Washington is deeply interested just now in the report that big business has about decided to fight President Taft to finish and there is much speculation as to whether this will hint or help the Pres ident's candidacy.
 The story goes that the recent visit to
 Washington of J. Pierpont Morgan really had a good deal of political significance and that the noted financier is at the head and front of the Wall street opposi- ton to MT. Taft and has served notice on the republican leaders that 1t IS to be
 fight. It is realized that 1t will not be
 nossible to defeat Mir. Taft for the nomi-
 nation, so the story goes the attention of
 high finance will be directed to preventing
 the nomination by the democrats of
 radical like Wilson of New Jersey and if
 successful in securing the nomination of
 a conservative man by the democrats will
 support him for the election.
 The choice of the democrats for con- vention city next year promises to be brimful of politics. While on the .epib- lican side the renomination of President Taft seems probable, thereby making the choice of the convention city compara- lively small factor in the equation, tbe contest for the democratic nomination be- tween recognized representatives of the conservative and progressive wings of that party, makes the choice of the con- yention city one of the main factors 10 be considered by the democratic national committee when it meets in Washington At the present writing Baltimore has the most advanced boom for the convention The two other cities most prominently mentioned at this time are Kansas City l and Denver.
 | Politically speaking, although the iein- ocrats of Baltimore have tried hard tc l bury their personal sentiments, the Mary | land city may be regarded as favOrine Gov Judson Harmon of Ohio for Pres I ident. The democrats there belong to the | conservative wing of the party
 Kansas City, on the other hand, and
 in fact, Denver, are looked upon as repre-

ness of expression that drew univer- sal homage.
 The new queen of beauty must have a new quality. For instance, Polaira, odd as it may seem, despite her touches of grotesque ugliness, may conceivably be made the queen of beauty of Paris. It was a French philosopher who said that true ugliness is the only perfect beauty. There are moods, expressions, and poses of Polaire in which all her bizarre points blend into one compell ing form which Parisians, with their sophisticated sense of beauty, find transcendentally charming. The French have created para doX-one must be truly ugly in Parls to be beautiful. But although the gay city cannot make each of them the queen of beauty they will always have many subjects-for does not all the world go to Paris to do homage to its women?

The Mormon Poplar Tree
the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free IreSS.
 Any one who thinks the Mormans are not up to date ought to visit Utah, 'nti- mates the New York Press. In the valley between Salt Lake City and Ogden are the best kept farms in the country. These ir- rigated lands sell at from $100O to $150O an acre. The Great Salt lake is only few miles away, and most of the unreclaimed valley land is so rank with alkali hat nothing in the world will sweeten 1t. No trouble to tell whether farmer is Mormon or Gentile Every Mormon sur rounds his house or marks the boundary of his land with poplar trees. They used 10 say a Mormon planted poplar every time a chlld was born In his household. Some of these farms have from 10 to 3oo poplars. The truth Is the poplar is ths Mormon tree. Brigham Young had a rev elation early in the days of the Utah pill grimage, in which the Mormons were bid den to plant poplars. At that time Brig ham was in the nursery business and hau a lot of poplar seedlings on hand.-i

KETCHAM IN TOWN
Montana Newspaper Man Spends Sunday
in This City With Friends

Harry G. Ketcham the Sidney
first base man, newspaper man
and Yellowstone booster was in
the city over Sunday calling on
friends. This was Ketcham's first
appearance from the Arcadian
depths of the Yellowstone valley
since the local ball team went up
to Sidney and was warped good
and plenty one dark, dark day last
August, when stay at home fans
talked of tearing down the tele-
phone Office for daring to give
fourth the dire news, and he is
still modestly telling how it was
done. In fact it would be no sur
prise to hear of the placing of a
bronze tablet on the sanctum door
of the Sidney Herald, telling of
the day, naming the heroes and
recounting their doughty deeds
performed on that occasion for
the admiration of future genera
tions in that valley.

PREACHER DEMANDS
RACE MONEY
REV. Mr.. HEwS0N OF EDCELEY, De.
MANDS SHARE OF MONEY WON
BY FAST HORSE

Edgeley, N. D., Sept. 23.-A
case which was decidedly unusual
was before the county court recent
ly on a motion for a change of
venue to Williams county. Judge
Wickersham granted the motion,
so the trial of the case will be
heard at Williston,
The title of the case is A. NJ.
Hewson VS.. G. H. Mckay. The
plaintiff in the action is Rev. Mr..
Hewson of Edeeley, and the de-
fendant is horse trainer and rae
ing man residing at Williston, In
the extreme northwestern part of
the state. It appears that early
last spring, Rev. Mr.. Hewson pur-
chased fast horse from Mckay,
but not wishing to bring it to
Edgeley, left it with the previous
owner.
The horse was entered in a num-
Der of races, and being a speedy
animal carried off a number of
cash prizes, winning in all about
5000 in cash.
Rev. Mr.. Hewson claiming that
the horse was his property, de-
manded a share of the winnings,
but was refused by Mckay. Be-
ing unable to secure the cash by
moral persuasion, suit was entered
and 500, or half of the amount
was asked of the court.
Mckay, the defendant, claimed
that the deal for the purchase of
the fast racer was never completed
that the animal had never left his
possession, and that he had had all
the care, trouble and work of
training and racing the horse, and
that under the agreement with the
minister the latter was not entitled
to a cent of the prize money.
No evidence was heard in the
county court before Judge Wicker
sham as to the merits of the case,
= hearing of a motion for change
Of venue to Williams county being
all that the Dickey county Judge
was called upon to decide. The
motion was granted ::and the case
will probably be heard at the next
term of the district court in that
Jurisdiction.
Attorneys Murtn & Doane of
represent the plaintiff.
Mr.. Doane appearing at the hear
ing, and States Attorney Jones of
LaMoure, represented Attorney
A. J. Bessie of Williston, who is
attorney for the defendant, Mckay.

IN WORK OF EQALIZAnON.

At last weeks session of the City
Council resolution was passed
authorizing the appointment of
two additional assessors, making
three in all, for the city of Willis

pointment of assessors in Septem-
Der of odd numbered years. Mayor

All three are we'll known business,
men and property holders.
1nasmuch as they also comprise,
the special assessment commission,
all assessment work will now be,
in their hands. Having served
for the past three years as special
assessment commissions they have
already gained valuable knowledge
of property values which will
greatly assist them in the general
assessment work. They plan on
taking up their new duties early
in the winter so that ample time
can be given to 60 thoroughly into
every difficulty that comes up.
To aid them in the assessment of
real estate large map of the city

parcel of land Of which will be.

years 1909, 1910 and 1911.
When this is completed all
property owners and citizens will
be invited to inspect the map, COM
pare the assessment of their own
lots with other lots and make such
suggestions and criticisms as they
think proper. Taking these ideas
and the assessments of former
years into consideration, the board
will then determine the 1912 as
sessments. The same plan, with
additions that will doubtless occur
after the first years work will be
followed in 1913 and if continued
should result in great improve
ment over the present plan Of as
sessment. Unfortunately, here
after Williston has lost the ex--
perience each assessor has gained
as no one assessor has undertaken
the work for two consecutive
years. Under the new plan which
is learned one year will be of SER.
vice each succeeding year.
By dividing up the work of
personal property assessment in

can expedite that task, es--
