Insurgent leaders here, who
wish to see the present session

strong for carrying the proceed

state that although the Stal.

A Fire Early Monday Morning

-: .-s--t Worth Of Property

The most destructive fire
Wahpeton has had in years oc-
cured last Monday morning
when h e Yates restaurant
building was discovered to be
on fire about 5 o'clock. The
volunteer fire d epar m n t
quickly responded to alarm
given. Owing to frozen hy.
drants it was some time before

ing. There was a stiff breeze
with the thermometer about 70
below.
The fire went quickly thru
the restaurant building and
reached the Forkner building,
the first floor of which was oc.
cupied by the Forkner store,
the second by Lew Rasmussen
as residence. The second
story of the restaurant build
ing was occupied by Browns
studio.
Nothing was saved in the
restaurant or gallery. l. e w
Rasmussen removed most of
his household goods. There
was a small amount of goods
removed from h e Eorkner
store but nearly everything was
total loss. The Lacy build
ing and contents were consid-
erably damaged by fire and
water, and if Wahpeton had
not had the best fire depart
ment in the Northwest the
Lacy building and contents
would have been a total loss.

SHOCKING TESTIMONY BY WOMAN
This morning further testi
lnony in the shape of a state
ment from young woman of
the district was made public,
and the facts brought out are
almost unbelievable in view of
the high standing of the judi
cial position which Judge
Cowan occupies. This portion
of the. testimony would shock
the state perhaps more than
any other part made public.
ALLEGED ABUSE OF POWER.
That such conditions have
been going on in the district
presided over by Judge Cowan
has been known among those
! who came in contact with the
judge for years, but have been
kept free from open and public
knowledge through the uni.
form fear of the people to at.
tack the power of a judicial
officer. Coupled with these
charges and explaining Judge
Cowan's hold upon the second
district is the story which now
comes to light of his political
methods in which he shame.
fully used the power of the
bench to put citizens under his
mercy and maintain his rule
over the counties where he sits.
CoWAN FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE.
In the meantime Judge Cow.
an is fighting desperately, both
to undermine the committee
and to get the house to vote
down the impeachment. Not
in many years has the capital
been so stirred with a battle be.
fore the legislature as it has
been in this fight. Judge Cow
an has been known to be a
hard fighter and a resourceful
politician, and has come with.
in an ace several times of de-
feating the impeachment pro.
ceedings.
MCKENzIE MACHINE AT WORK.
The old Mckenzie organiza-
tion has rallied to the support
of Judge Cowan and nothing is
being left undone to reach the
committee before a report lis
brought before the house. It tis
doubtful, however, if anything
can be done, as public senti-
ment at the capital is exceed.
ingly strong. The fight made
by Judge Cowan to stave off
proceedings h a g convinced
many of his guilt with the re.
suit that strength has been
falling away from him rapidly.

Conconully. In one particular this
condition is especially trying. If a
man finds that he has been assessed
too high, and believes that an appeal
to the board of equalization would re-
lieve him materially from an unjust
burden, he is prevented from appear
ing before the board in person and
making the appeal, because the cost
of the trip and loss of time going to
and returning from the county seat
would amount to more than could be
saved by a reduction of assessment
For years the people of the north end
have submitted patiently to this hold
up, made possible from the size OF the
county and the location of the county
seat, and it is not to be wondered at
that they should join solidly in an ef-
fort to remedy the evil through the
means of county division. This state
ment is not based on suppostitious
case There have been many OF them
in the past and will be more of them
in the future if division is not accom-
plished.

A LONG WAY AROUND.

An incident very much out OF the or
binary was brought to light during the
past fortnight by an act of courtesy on
the part of Fred E. Prouty, editor and
publisher of The Independent, Belling-
ham, Wash. Over two and half
years ago, when the editor of abe GA
zETTE was publishing the Prospector,
at LOOMS, he got the fool idea that
the public would appreciate views of
scenic points of interest," and mining en-
terprises in that vicinity, and spent
probably couple of hundaed dollars
for half tones, that were run from
time to time in the paper. The pub
Usher of mining paper in Seattle
noted the excellency of the cuts, and
wrote over to borrow some of them,
promising to return them as soon
as used. We sent over 30 or 40,
and although request after request was
sent to have them returned no answer
came from the man we accommodated.
They were given up as lost. Some ten
days ago letter addressed to the
Prospector was forwarded to Oroville
from Loomis. This letter was from
Mr.. Prouty. He stated that a large
package of cuts had been found at
tached to chair in a consignment of
furniture shipped from St. Paul to the
house of Hord & Wright, Bellin CHAM,
and as they were wrapped in copies of

FLAMBOYANT FLUNMERY.

Under the excitement worked up
over some question of local significance
individuals and communities are liable
to lose their heads, and say things that
hardly stand scrutinizing after the
blood cools and reason is restored.
This is demonstrated in set of bonn
bastic resolutions endorsed by public
gathering at Riverside one night last
week The meeting was called pri-
marily for the purpose of discussing
matters considered of large Importance
to the town, and incidently to protest
against county division. While on
that subject a string of resolutions was
adopted that wound up with this very
unfiattering admission:
SIN fine, the creation of the counties
of Methow and Tonasket would leave
old Okanogan county a corpse consist
ing of townships of tillable and tax
able land, townships of mountain
peaks, and 80 townships of 'Pinchoted
Pineries' and siwash pastures.
If this be true are not the people Of
Riverside liable to indictment for urg-
ing home seekers to come and settle
in the central part of Okanogan county
on charge of fraudulently misleading
the stranger into the belief that there
is even a remote possibility of existing
in locality proclaimed to be little
better than ''corpse?' 1t is not an
attractive advertisement to announce
that large territory that would still
remain in the old county, if division
should take place, is of so little worth
and value, present and prospective, as
to be incapable of supporting sepa-
rate county government, now or here
after. That must be the inference
drawn from the opinion of the people
in mass as expressed in the resolution.
Riverside, like other towns in the
lower valley. is very fearful that the
north end may escape from its thrall-
dom, in which case those localities
would not secure the benefits of the
large share of taxes that flow into
WIG SOuhuy lIOLl SOCOlOl.
1t is altogether possible that the north
end will continue paying its large trib-
ute without visible returns in the way
of public Improvements to correspond
with the amount of said annual contri-
button, but the time may come when
some of these communities that have
been so active in their efforts to clog
the wheels of progress may want aid
and concessions from the north enders,
in which case they would not meet
with hilarious reception. In the
meantime the people of the north end
have higher opinion of the richness
and resourcefulness of the center of
the county than the residents of Riv-
erside, and believe that particular
section will become highly productive
and densely populated, capable of meet
ing the cost of self-government under
a separate county organization.

MASONIC DANCE.

We are advised by the committee in
charge of the Misunderstood Star
ball, to be held at Okanogan February
%, 1911, that arrangements are pro-
crossing nicely and that large atten-
dance is expected. The committee on
music has spared no expense to get the
best talent obtainable. The orchestra
will be composed of six pieces as fol-
lows; Prof. Merritt, first violin; Dan
Bossuot, second violin: Prof. Bollman,
flute: Mrs. c. O. Dodd, plano: Fl. M.
Hale, cello; Carl Schaller, trap drum
mer. The work of the committee on
decorations is progressing satisfactor-
lily, and r. F. McCampbell, who is in
charge, promises some splendid pro-
auctions in this line. Tickets are now
on sale at the First National bank and
Towne's jewelry store. The affair will
be informal and good time is prom
ised all those who attend.
