w. G. Keys is daily expecting
new stock of dry goods for his
fall and winter trade.
Mrs. J. F Thomas is recover
ing from her recent illness and
is now able to be around again.
Mrs. Guy Chapman and child,
rem are visiting a few days this
week at the home of Mrs. Julia
Beeson on Sarvice Creeks
Our school is progressing nic-
ely under the supervision of
Miss Lottie Keizur. As other
teachers before her. she sees the
need of better school facilities.
AS no one teacher can handle
eight grades and do justice to
the pupils, it is time that May
vile wakes up to the fact that
the growth and prosperity of
our town depends largely upon
the kind of schools we have.
The first thing asked by one con-
templating settling among us is,
what kind of schools have you?
When the reply is given that we
have a one room school house
probably 20 X 40 in size and not
very comfortable at that, an
eight grade school with but one
teacher for all eight grades, is it
any wonder that they almost in
variably reply that they would
rather locate where there are
good schools where their child
rem can get a better education?
But notwithstanding the fact
that our school mot our teacher)
is not what it should be, you
would be surprised to take a
walk around Mayville and see
the improvements that are slow
ly but surely being made.
The Dodge house has the ap-
pearance of a new one since the |
renovating of both inside and |
out.
The new barn of J. F. Thomas
is deserving of mention. as well |
as the new grand stand and
other Improvements made by the
fair committee.
Mayville being situated as ii
is in the center of one of the
largest and best farming districts |
as well as one of the popular |
sections of the inland empire, |
bids fair to become a town of
considerable Importance within
a few years.
Although the crops are not
large as we might wish, the
wheat is of better quality than
OF other years, therefore we ex-
pect to eat good bread during
the coming winter, as the -four
ing mill at this place has been
completely overhauled. new
machinery installed where need
ed and they are now turning
out the best of flour.
The Rebekahs are to give a
social party on Thursday evening
of this week in honor of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. H. Edwards to show the
high esteem in which they are
held by their neighbors. A good
time is anticipated. Brother
and Sister Edwards are soon to
leave US, their future home
being Independence, Oregon.
We congratulate the people of
that place as our loss is their
gain.
Mrs. Alice Perrin has return
ed from Gooding, Idaho where
she has been to settle up the
business of her husband the late
J. P. Perrin. She will remain
in Mayville for some time to
visit with relatives.

THE FINANCIAL
TRADE REVIEW
Prospective Holiday Trade
Caused an Improvement
in Conditions

New York, Dec. 4.-The coming of
December worked a transformation in
the money market last week and d.
rected close attention to the political
phases Of the financial outlook. The
effect was a pause in stock market
activity and a recession in prices.
So many extraordinary demands
upon the money market easily have
been met during the year that the
signs Of diminishing supplies were
rather neglected until a rise in rates
rency the preceding week. although
known to be on a scale sufficient to
tax the available bank surplus, car
ried the call loan rate unchanged to
the end Of that week. With the open.
ing of last week. ohwever, and the
persistence of the depicting factors,
there came some displacement Of
credits and shifting of loans which
led to higher bids.
The expectation Of gold and the
December money settlements were
indicated that there might be a less
transitory cause was the hardening,
at the same time. Of the rates for time
money here and Of private discount
rates abroad. 1t had been assumed
that New York bank credits to for
eign borrowers would prove readily
available to meet any homo need as
1t arose. The response of the foreign
money markets to the fall. in exchange
at New York gives intimation Of an
unreadiness to relinquish any resource
es at present in hand. In, conse-
4uence q question arises about any
probable relaxation Of money markets
until. the turn Of the year.
The assembling of congress next
week for the long session brought in
to closer consideration q factor which
Is expected to prove a disturbing ele-
ment for some time. The possible
consequences Of the proposed revis-
ion Of the tariff or Of other legIsla-
ton affecting the business interests
OF n country were regarded rs Of
sufficient importance to cause a re-
striction Of demand. The incessant
discussion Of the trust question, fed
by committee Investigations from both
houses OF congress-, and the coming
report Of the railroad securities com.
mission helped to keep political prob.
lens to the fore.
The week brought further evidence
OF better business conditions. The
buying Of pigiron was much more ag-
gressive: and there was a continuance
Of the brisk demand for some lines
Of railroad equipment. Reports OF
railway earnings In October showed
no uniform tendency, for individual
railroads traversing the same. general

Generally Satisfactory Con-
dition Will Be Shown by
Board Secretary

Darlington. n. D., Dec. 4.-When
the North Dakota board of railroad
commissioners meets here tomorrow
1t will receive a report froAl Secretary
Thomas Hal: showing that. as Il whole,
the railroads have been able to give
the. North Dakota grain crop good
service this year. On or two oc-
casions this fall. and from several
points in the state. complaints were
made to the effect that there was a
shortage of crops. hut Immediately
such condition was brought to the
attention Of the railroads, there was
an immediate adjustment of the situa-
ton and sufficient cars were provided
TO move the grain. Tho further fact
that the weather conditions have been
favorable during the fall and early
winter has made the moving Of grain
easier. although in some districts the
years shipments have been the heavi-
est in many years.
The board also will find tomorrow
that the trouble which a arisen at
Crosby over the question of loading
facilities has been satisfactorily adj
justed.
1t is probable that there will be
some consideration at this session of

posed to he launched to determine the

matter Of ordering passenger train

' Another question which will be con-

for the purpose of determining the
method Of operation. the bookkeeping

NIGHT SCHOOL TO
TEACH FARMERS
Federal Expert Will Conduct
Series of Classes in Graf
ton This Winter

Grafton. N. D., Dec. Might school
for the teaching Of agriculture will be
established in Grafton by Fred w.
Merrill, the federal dairy expert who
has been stationed in this section Of
North Dakota several months. The
night school venture. entirely new to
North Dakota farmers, will commence
tomorrow evening and two nights each
week will be given over to the studies.
In organizing the night school in
agriculture it has been the aim Of Mr..
Merrill to gain the interest OF the
farmers who are actively engaged In
tilling their own lands. During the
winter there will be two lectures on
soil fertility. two lectures on soil cul-
tivation, two lectures on soil crops.
two lectures on feed and feeding. two
lectures on are and breeding Of live
I stock, as we'll as 4 number of lectures
on random subjects.
Under the plan that has been placed
under way by the federal expert the
lecture will be given first. and after
wards there will be a 'aneral discus
sion by the farmers.
MY. Merrill was sent to Walsh coun-
ty for the purpose OF building up the
dairying industry. this being the first
portion Of North Dakota to receive
federal aid of that nature. During the
summer and fall months he worked
over Walsh. Cavalier n Pembina
counties. and now that the winter sea-
son has arrived he proposes to take
advantage of the evenings by conduct
ing the school here.
ut is not our hope to Interest only
the farmers" said Mr.. Merrill in dis
cussing this movement. but we also
expect to enroll the business men of
Grafton in the work. teaching them
things about agriculture which they
should be %conversant with.
To the young farmers this winter
night school plan should be particular
" attractive. The future prosperity OF
the farmer and the business man of
this district will be in proportion to
the adoption and advancement of the
dairy industry, and the winter course
will bear particular emphasis on dairy.
ing subjects. and subjects closely allied
with that branch of farm activity, as
the list of lectures clearly indicates"

and appellant.
% Following Paine v. Dickey
county , 8 N. d. 5S1. it is held that
section 8S. chapter 126. laws of 1897
relating to the recovery of money paid
at tax sales. made subsequent to the
enactment of that chapter, when such
sales have since been held void. is not
in conflict with section 81 of the con-
stitution as the provision permitting
such recovery was germane to the
matter of collecting taxes on land by
means Of sale thereof.

titicate which has beeh adjudged void
may recover the amount paid there

and section S8, chapted l26, laws Of
1897, Notwithstanding the fact that he
has not paid subsequent taxes.
(3) The limitations contained in
chapter 1855, laws of 1901. have no
bearing on the right Of the holder of
certificate of tax sale which has
been adjudged void to bring an ac-
ton against the county for the recov-
tif1cate.
.(D When the holder Of a certif-
cate. void for reasons which, under
the terms Of sections "a and SO of
the acts referred to, r required to
be stated in the Judgment holding
them void, relies upon such judgment
as evidencing his right to recover
from the county the money paid. It is
tmmaterial that the judgment holding
his certificate void fails to state the
reason for its invalidity, as that pro-
vision was made for the benefit of
the county, to enable it's officials to
know whether the tax still continued
a lien on the land and whether to ad.
vertise and resell the same.

ing the certificate or sale invalid are
stated in the judgment.
Co The code prohibits the county
auditor from drawing his warrant

tax sale is adjudged invalid, action
by the board of county commission
