B0ARD'S RIGHT
10 LET CONTRACTS FOR STATE
HOSPITAL sUPfLIEs-LAW.
SUIT OVER coAI. CON-
TRACT

A law suit that may involve im-
portant consequences has been start
ed by the Zenith Coal Company Of
Dickinson, who ask that the coal con-
tract recently let by the old board
of trustees at the North Dakota
Hospital for Insane, be annulled and
new bids for coal advertised for.
The grounds alleged are that the
old board had no legal authority to
contract for supplies for the institu-
tion for 1911-12, as the law which
provided for the Board Of Control
taking charge Of the institution COM
templated that such board purchase
the supplies after July /, 1911, at
which time the new board took con-
trol under the law. The statute.
according to the Zenith Co., requires
the new board of control during
the frst six months Of it's existence
to confer with the officials Of the
hospital and consider in detail all
questions Of management and the
methods to be adopted to secure the
economical management of the insti-
tuition, with power to enforce such
recommendations and directions as
it may cause to be made. It is
further alleged that the coal bids as
published asked for a specified kind
of coal. That the bid of the Wash
burn Lignite Co. for an inferior
brand of coal at $2.16 ton was
accepted after July 1, 1911 and that
no opportunity for other companies
had been Afforded to bid for same
brand of coal. The Zenith
Coal Co.'S bid for a quality Of coal
which complied with the specifica-
lions was 1924 q ton. and the Wash.
burn Lignite Coal Co. bid was 1921
q ton, 3
The Washburn Co. bid of $2.16
was for what Is called 6 inch, or.
steam coal. The proposals asked
deep mined screened coal. The Con-
solidated Coal Co.. Of Dickinson, also
put in bid OF $2.O9 ton OUT Tue
board for several reasons. did not
desire coal from that company.
Notice of the action on part Of
plaintiffs has been fled with the at
torney general of the state and the
board of control, which, it is under
stood, has requested an opinion from
the attorney general on the right OF
the old board to let the contract as
above referred to. Hanson Evsmith
Of Duluth is president Of the Zenith
Co. Thorp & Chase represent the
plaintiffs in the action. The matter
having been referred to the attorney
general for an opinion. It is expected
that some decision may be had IN q
short time.

CHICKEN HUNTING
INCIDENTS
HOT DAY ON PRAIRIES-SLIGH
ACCIDENT TO JAMESTOWN
HUNTER

Sunday was a warm pleasant day
and many chicken hunters took ad-
vantage Of the dry spell to get out
into the fields. Good, bad and indif-
ferent success is reported. There is
no doubt but that chickens are as
numerous as ever this year, the sea-
son having been favorable for their
Matching.
Among those who reported bags
are Harry Cooper and E. ]. Jerden
and party of five who brought in
SO chickens; Elmer Merrill and Billy
Bates, 10; Thomas Boyden, Fred
and Lynn Wolfer in two days shoot,
So; Jake Bertel, Jr., and party.
27 chickens and 70 ducks at Eckel-
son; Gene Walla, Wilson and Crab
tree got the limit in two days shoot.
Some of these bags we're secured
Saturday.
At the farm of Theodore Thoms,
Will Thorn, Lawrence Obermueller
and a third party got in two days
60. Mckenzie, Rhoades and Rich
mond hunted west of Pingree and
killed all they were entitled to each
day.
Charles Weber and e. A. Reed and
ladies were hunting two days and
got some fair shooting. Yesterday
in turning the corner of a tree claim
four or five scattering shot entered
into the back of Charley Weber, but
did no injury. Several other scat
tering shots struck the Weber party.
E. D. Shockey was coming down the
north side of the claim but had no
idea that Mr.. Weber was in range
of the shot, and when the chicken
got up both the chicken and Charley
got dose of shot.
August Berthenthal of Milwaukee,
had hard luck with one of his bird
dogs, brought to the state for the
seasons shooting. The dog jumped
from the wagon Unexpectedly and
was run over by one wheel which
has crippled him so badly that the
dog will be of no further service this
season. He is a broken English
setter, sent up from North Carolina,
where he was used on quail before
coming to North Dakota. Mr.. Ber-
genital has one dog, young set
ter, left, but feels the loss of the
old dog keenly at this time.
Sunday was trying day for teams
and horses on the prairie. In ad-
dition to swarms of flying ants, buf-
falo flies and the bot fly attacked
horses and in some cases made them
almost uncomfortable. Columns of
flying ants could be seen and there
being little wind it was hard to es-
cape them at times.

SELECT SEED CORN
IN SEPTEMBER
AND GET BEST MATURED EARS
VALUE OF BUNDLE
CORN
Grli=
.l"aa ~ %.

The Minnesota University Farm
Press has several timely articles a.
bout corn, worth repeating for North
Dakota farmers who are beginning
to grow corn under practically the
same conditions as in Minnesota.
The first is on the selection Of seed
corn for the next years crop.
Do It Now
Minnesota is making record as
a corn-growing state, and II the COM
ing year is to bear any comparison to
this year, our corn-growers must now
bestir themselves and gather the
seed for next years planting. Fore
go the state fair II you must; neglect
your politics II you like; but make
the saving Of seed corn the all-im-
portant~ consideration Of the month.
It is not big job, and because Of
this many farmers are apt to neglect
1t; but it is a consideration which
has direct and important bearing
upon next years corn crop; and is
one that no corn-grower can over
look.
With q sack slung from the should
er. get out into the best portion Of
this years crop and get busy. Look
first for those ears that are already
quite well matured. Frost may come
earlier next year, and it Is well to
be ahead Of it If you can. The ear
should be well-developed in every
way, true to the type and variety
you are looking for. and come from
a non-suekering, thrifty stalk.
Good seed-corn is desirable prop
erty any year, and when It is being
gathered It is an excellent plan to
gather several times the amount that
will be needed for next years plant
ing. Cure. 1t by hanging in a nice.
dry place, where there is a9good. free
circulation of air.
A day spent in timely held-selec-
tion is worth week of selection at
husking-time, and even more of
crib-selection next spring. Do it
now, while the impulse of ''Seed Corn
Week" Is with you, It is business
proposition not to be neglected.

FINDS new WAY TO
SHOOT The SHOOTS
SECRETARY HYDE OF VALLEY
CITY MADE IMPORTANT DIS
covERY FOR cHAUTAuoUA.

Valley City, N. D., June 6.--secre-
tary Hyde of the Commercial club,
who is ever on the lookout for new at
fractions for Valley City, "accidently
stumbled" onto suggestion the other
day while making a short cut across
the Russell Miller dam to his office.
At the time he crossed the water was
low in the river and an exceedingly
thin sheet OF water was passing over
the narrow crest of the dam and down
the slippery, Shiny apron to the river
bed, fifteen feet below. As he ap-
preached the dam. he noted the silvery
beauty of the falling water as 1t
sparkled in the morning sunlight. He
noted the vista of grassy banks and
verdure clad hills and how beautifully
they were mirrored In the placid
waters of the silent on flowing stream.
The beauty of the morning and the
enchanting scene made him glad that
he had being. Brisxly he moved on
ward and onto the narrow plank that
spanned the top OF the dam between
the shores. The thin sheet Of water
SAAeAA AAOWSA OFNA NAACs CAAAAAy palm gave
no hint that tragedy or comedy Turk
ed beneath, and he passed swiftly on.
At the center of the way he paused,
entraneed with the beauty Of the
scene. His poetic nature was stirred
to its inmost depths; and as with
raised arm, he turned to apostrophise
the scene his foot touched a rounded
pebble. His sole was upIifted His
two soles were uplifted With a wild
yell Of terror he clutched the air with
both hands, but the air brake failed
to work; and landing on his back he
glided swiftly down below--down that
slippery, Shiny apron Floundering
to his feet he waded ashore. went
home and changed his clothes. But
the incident served to stimulate his
ideas to another endeavor for Valley
City. AS he glided down that slip
perry incline he was heard to exclaim:
Shoot the chutes." The idea was
born during that rapid transit: and
next Monday night the PesourcefuI
secretary win appear before the city
council and suggest that as the Chill
dren's Park is in close proximity to
the dam, that the city lease the priv
ilege OF the dam from the Mill COM
pany and use the damn apron" for a
'chute the chutes."

teams this spring. Ross and White

be accounted for by the fact that the

lowing batter, then went out to the
