he has found but little trouble with

RAMSEY COUNTY
WINS THE FLAG

Hurrah for Ramsey county! At the
meeting Of the good roads committee
of the Twin Cities to Helena auto run,
Ramsey county was declared the win
ner of the silk flag offered by the De-
wills Lake Commercial club for the
best roads between Larimore and Rug
by, N. D. The roads through Ramsey
county were declared to be almost per-
feet. The roads between Crary and
Devils Lake were commented upon
especially. The bit of work done by
residents of both cities just before the
autoists came through evidently was
worth while Grand Forks county feels
proud of the Sullwood trophy for the
best piece of road between Grand
Forks and Devils Lake. A stretch be-
tween Arvilla and Larimore is quite
famous. 1t is graveled and on this
piece the autoists we're enabled to run
race keeping up with the special
train.

IS MUCH BETTER
THAN REPORTED

After a trip up the Farmers line,
President Jos. Kelly says things look
much more promising up that way
than have been reported. 1t seems as
If the Farmers line marked the east
and west crop conditions. East of the
line he believed wheat would yield
fifteen to twenty bushels to the acre.
The grain is nicely headed out and
with good weather conditions will rip
en- well. The farthest east you go from
the Farmers line the better the crops
look. West of the line things do not
look SO promising although in some
places the average ought to be from
eight to ten bushels. Everywhere the
late grain is better than that sowed
early. There is an immense crop of
wild hay, timothy clover, and other
grasses been put up already that will
bring fancy prices a little later for
feed.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
VISITS IN THE CITY

Attorney General Miller was an over
Sunday visitor in Devils Lake. He
came down from Lahota at the end Of
the Sperry case and remained over to
meet Mrs. Miller and the three boys
en- route home to Bismarck after a few
weeks outing at Fish Lake. This has
been a busy summer for the General.
In the past three weeks he has prose-
cuted two famous cases, the Reilly
murder case at Langdon and Sperry
murder case from Aneta. The next big
case the General will have charge of
the prosecution of, is the re-trial of the
coal rate cases which the Northern
Pacific and the 500 and the Milwaukee
roads have succeeded in getting back
into the courts. again. The supreme
court has taken original jurisdiction in
the re-trial of these cases. The evil
dence will be taken before master in
chancery in Minneapolis in August.
It will be recalled that these actions
are the outgrowth of the enactment by
the North Dakota legislature of the
coal rate law, regulating the freight
rates to be charged in hauling Ignite
coal on least hauls" in North Dakota.
Actions were at once started by the
roads, on the grounds the rates were
confiscatory. The law was held consti-
tutional in the district, state supreme,
and finally in the Supreme Court of
the United States, after arguments
made in Washington in March, 1910. =.
During the past year the railroads
have been engaged in collecting evil
dence on which to secure new trial.
1t is stated they are prepared to show
they are hauling business at loss. 5z
Attorney General Miller announced
that following the meeting Of the board
,of equalization at Bismarck next month
he will devote his attention to the rate
cases, securing the services Of an ex-
pert in preparing the defense the state
will offer. '> s.ts s, :,

justice. After some months the Sperry
boy is alleged to have made confes-
sion which he afterward repudiated on
the ground that it was made through
third degree method. Another Aneta
lad named Somerfield was implicated
and he denied most strenuously any
knowledge of the crime. A strong array
of witnesses was called for both sides
and the trial proved most sensational.
Hundreds of people crowded the court
rooms each day. The jury proved an
unusually stubborn one and was sent
back three times by Judge Burr in an
effort to make them reach a decision,
but without avail and after sixty-five
hours they were discharged. Attorney
General Miller says the case will be
tried again. There Is q great diversity
