Iron Prices Keep Up

Pig iron prices are holding their
 own" say Matthew Addy 6 Co.,, of Cincinnati. "A great effort mas been
 made to batter them down. Producers
 have been regularly bombarded with all kinds of low offers. But the mar ket surely is on bottom and 1t is g very remarkable thing to note that for more than nine months now there has
 been no quotable change in prices. The | market has gone neither up nor down.
 hut has steadily remained at the same level. This Is an unheard of state of affairs. As a rule pig iron is really to be considered as a speculative com
 modity which has had fluctuations in price of as much as 100 per cent in 12 months. It has gone from its paul per stage to being a prince in less than & year and usually it is so much on the move one way or the other that it takes an agile mind to keep up with 1t. But now. since last July, $11 for
 No. at Birmingham has been the rul- ing price, with s14 for No. Ohio irons.
 "The business of the week has been scattering. One very large purchase of pipe iron has been made, 10000 tons for forward shipment. But this order is a brilliant exception as most of the
 buying has been in lots of from 100 to 200 tons, with carload orders welcome. Foundries generally are busy and ship ments are heavy. The feeling in the trade is hopeful though undoubtedly the political uncertainty is not doing business any particular good" Democratic Presidential Timber T am not personally acquainted with Governor Harmon of Ohio. but think 1t safe to say that he has thorough
 organization for pushing his claims for
 the presidency" said Harold M Wads-
 worth of Minnesota.
 "In 1876 I was living in Maryland
 where came in close touch with Sam uel J. Tilden's presinetial organization.
 It was perfect. I happened to know
 one of the secretaries to Mir. Tilden,
 and he told me that every precinct in the United States was organised in the interest of the great democrat. No voter had been overlooked and every
 democrat was ready to hurrah for Til-
 den.
 Tt seems to me. from what little I
 have seen, that Harmon is perfecting :
 the same sort of an organization that
 Tilden had. I believe in 1t. Governor
 Harmon may not, be the most available
 man as democratic standard bearer
 next year, but the chances are all in
 his faor. That Is tho talk at any rate

Will TEST Law
Regarding FEES

FARGO, N. d., Sept. 22-Judge En-
gerud of Fargo has returned home
from Forman, where he has been for
several days attending the hearing Of
the case Of the county commissioners
of Sargent county against the county
Judge, auditor, register o. deeds and
treasurer. The case Is one of the most
important ever heard in the state, be-
cause it has bearing on every county
and will be carried to the supreme
cOur..
The purpose of the county commits
sioners Of Sargent county is to test the
construction of the law relative to the
fees taken in by county officers. Sew.
eral of the county officers have been
collecting fees which the commission
ers claim belong to the county and the
officers do not take the same view of
the matter.
The same condition prevails in al
most every county in the state, al
though the matter has never before
been brought up in the court. Ex-
county officers have also been criti-
cised and the outcome of the case will
uOIOA AAAAAOS W q NCA k1tAA SAISAk, IL WI
lections can be made against former
officials who have collected fees and
not turned the same to the county.
1t is presumed that if the commits
sioners of Sargent county win out the
commissioners of the other counties
over the state will also take the same
action against the officials. Judge AL
len, who heard the case, did not rem
der any decision ii the matter and
took it under advisement. No matter
what way he decides it, the losing side
in the trial will carry it up higher.
States Attorney Leslie of Sargent
county conducted the case for the
commissioners. Judge Engerud Of Far
20 acted as attorney for s. A. Sweet
man. county Judge, and c. H. Cooper,
treasurer. George Bangs Of Grand
Forks acted as counsel for r. p. Irving,
treasurer, and E. w. Bowen of Forman
was the lawyer for D. l.. Warmer,
register of deeds.

cottage R0BbER IS
SHOT BY WATCAMAN

DETROIT, Mimi. Sept. 22.-Wlll
Mason. aged so, cottage burglar,
was shot and badly wounded by Wal
ter Anderson hired by owners OF Far
20 cottage at Lake Melissa to protect
their property during the winter.
The shooting occurred near the cot
tage of DR.. Tronnes into which Mason
had broken.
Anderson and John Swanson, the
latter general utility man Of the cot
tagers, had noticed Mason prowling
around in the day time and watched
the cottages closely. They saw light
in the upstairs of the Tronnes cottage
and knowing that was closed, Ander-
son shot into the air.
Mason came out and Anderson COW
cred the burglar with his shotgun and
told the latter to halt and put up his
hands. Instead of doing this Mason
came toward Anderson and said: "Tll
get you"
At this Anderson fired. Mason yelled
and turning ran into the brush and es'
capped. Later he was captured by
Sheriff Glaum of Becker county. 1t was
found that Mason's hand was almost
shot away.
For several years Fargo cottagers
i; we had trouble in the winter by hav.
ing their cottages entered and looted
and already this fall great deal Of
looting has been cone despite the TACT
taat watchmen we're hired to guard
the property.

NO GAMBLING At
REGISTRATION

PIERRE, S. D., Sept. 22.-Rumors
would indicate that there is feeling
among some of the residents of Greg
DRY county that the gambling laws Of
the state will not be enforced at the
registration points in that county, for
the drawings for Mellette and Bennett
county lands. This is proposition in
which Judge Written will use all the
power he has to control. and has asked
the state authorities to assist in the
keeping down of gambling at these
and all registration points in the state.
The attorney general has notified the
local authorities that in case of COM
plant of failure or neglect to act on
their part he will take up the work
of enforcement. and any attempt to
operate gambling devices is likely to
spell grief to some one before the
registration is ended.

EXPRESS COMPANIES
Lower Their Rates

PIERRE, S. D.. Sept e2-The
American and United Express compa-
MES have filed with the railway COM
mission their reduced schedules, based
upon the law requiring a reduction of
80 per cent from the rates in force
on January /, 1909. This follows the
decision OF Judge Willard denying an
injunction against such reduction. In
every case the reduced rate is at least
80 per cent less than the original and
in some instances much more. The
Wells-Fargo whic his expected to send
in its reduced schedule in a short
tim., will be hit harder than the other
companies because it has not previous

HANNA and ABBOTT TO
Be IN CITY SATURDAY
WILL STOP OFF ON WAY EAST
FROM eERTHoLD INDIAN
FAIR.
Abbott 10 Assistant Commissioner OF
Indian Affairs. Hanna Interested
in Development Of North Dakota
Farms.

Congressman L. B. Hanna is booked
| to reach Bismarck Saturday morning.
He will be accompanied by Assistant
Indian Agent E. H. Abbott from Wash
ington. The distinguished gentlemen
are over at Elbowoods attending the
Berthold Indian fair.
Congressman Hanna Is interested in
the development of North Dakota and
was instrumental in having the Fort
Berthold Indian reservation thrown
open to settlement. 1t is his further
desire that a good class of home.
steaders come to North Dakota to
make their homes. The speculative
homesteader who comes only to prove
up his claim, secure loan on it and
then drift away is not desirable
settler in the strict meaning of the
term. It is the man who comes to
make home for himself and family
who Is desired. The cheap lands of
the state offer inducements to the
farmers of the older states to come
here and secure farms for his chill
dren. 1t is impossible to do this in
states where farm lands SCI Tor from
SIS to $3.50 an acre.
Congressman Hanna is interested in
all projects which tend to elevate
farming and make it more profitable.
While in the city he will look over
the exposition building and lend the
enterprise to open next Tuesday his
hearty support. And incidentally the
gentleman will meet his political
friends and discuss the situation along
state lines. Indian Agent Abbott is
sightseeing.
