I VISITS | | 4 . JAMESTOWN
New Head Of N. d. Enforcement
League In City.-Making Tour
Of state

North Dakota Enforcement League
and former Methodist minister at
Dickinson, was In the city today vis-
iting jamestown on a statewide tour
of inspection for the League. Supt.
Watkins was appointed June 1st, and
will open up headquarters at Bis
marck the first Of August. The
League is planning a vigorous cam
paign with Supt. Watkins in charge,
there having been no active leader In
the field since the resignation Of
Rev. Odgen, formerly of jamestown.
The object Of the League is to en-
force the laws and particularly the
prohibition. gambling and other acts
regarding the moral welfare of the
state. The League is non-partisan
and nterdenominational and works
in three departments, aggitation thru
the press and public speaking, legis-
lation and law enforcement, R. B..
Griffith Of Grand Forks is president,
r. NJ. Pollock, Fargo, treasurer and
C. "A. Macnamara, Fargo, secretary.
There is an executive committee Of
ten leading men in the state.
Regarding the temperance work
OF the League, Snpt. Watkins in an
interview, stated that pubic senti-
ment the past tto and half years
was stronger than ever for strict
enforcement Of the prohibition law.
An organized fight has been carried
on throughout the slope country with
fine results. Nearly every town be-
tween Mandan and Beach two and q
half years ago, had one or more sa-
looms running wide open. Now there
is not one. Mandan, Dickinson, He
bron, Glen Ullin, Medora, Belfield.
Beach have all been cleaned up and
there are few pigs" Over 100 plac-
es have been closed and majority
! of the "piggers" prosecuted and con-
! victed. Eight out of nine cases re-
suited in conviction. Over 40 pigs
and saloons were closed in raids in
Stark county alone, and sentiment
changed when the seemingly impos-
ssibfe was accomplished. ST. yiola-
tors Of the law were Jailed at Bis
marck.
A systematic campaign is now be-
ing started and in two months Supt-
Watkins expects to have tabulated
practically every suspected pig and
pigger, amounts of liquor received,
owner of the property and a good list
of habitues. The league works in
harmony with the state and county
officials, the w. G. Il. U. and local
committees. An inexpensive and al
most certain method of conviction is
being mapped out. No cases will be
started without actual evidence Of
sales. Sane. conservative and bust
nesslike methods will be followed.
Supt. Watkins before taking the
position visited four states getting +
deas for the work. at Minneapolis,
Chicago, Columbus, Ohio, and St.
Louis and Westerville, Ohio, head
quarters OF the National Anti-Saloon
League. He has spoken on the sub
ject recently at Devils Lake and VAL
ley City Chautauqua and left today
for Jud, where he speaks Sunday and
will continue through the southwest
ern part Of the state.

BIG SHIPMENT OF CATTLE--COW-
BOY BECOMES REMINISCENT

The largest cattle shipment of the
season was made at Malta last
Thursday and Friday when seventy
eight car loads of fine beef cattle were
shipped to the Union Stock Yards,
Chicago. There were two train loads
and three extra cars, or about two
thousand head in the shipment.
While the number of bovines in the
country is lessened the returns will
materially help the cattle companies,
the ranchers and farmers disposing
of them. The Reynolds Cattle Co.
shipped the largest number of cars
20, and the remainder Of the shipment
was made up as follows: Jamison,
Floweree, and Wallace, 9 cars; w.
d. Reynolds. cars; John Hardin,
cars; Norval Wallace, 8 cars; Flow

at Malta. While Mr.. Dibble secured

Commissioners at their December

Miss Louise Stork, superintendent
of the Montana Deaconess School at
Helena, Montana, was in our city
Friday and Saturday soliciting funds
for the school. The general plan is
to provide boarding school and
home for boys and girls under four
teen years of age. Many homes in
this sparsely settled country are far
from the public schools and the
children must be sent away for an
education. Often father or mother
is left alone with children of school
age and is at loss to know where to
place them for proper training. Then
there are the orphan boys aud girls
whose guardians desire to place them
in some good school. 1t is the aim
of this institution to meet the needs
of these children and to give them
the careful training of a Christian
home while they are receiving a COM
mon school education. This school is
situated in Prickly Pear Valley, five
miles from the Helena depot. The
people of Malta responded literally
to Miss Stork's appeal for help.

The irrigation meeting of the Up
per Milk River Water Users at Chi
nook last Saturday was we'll attend
ed by members of the association and
interested settlers from nearly every
town in the valley. From reports re-
ceived everything now gives promise
of difficulties with the ditch compan
les and the water users in that local
ity being obviated, and il the con-
tracts are all signed soon, the rec]a-
nation service assures the people i'll
the valley that bids will be adver-
tised shortly after the first of the
year and contracts awarded so that
work on the project may be prosecut-
ed as soon as conditions permit in
the Spring of 1912.
Congressman Pray addressed the
meeting and urged the people to lose
no more time in meeting the require.
ments of the government relative to
signing up the contracts as quickly
as possible. He was of the opinion
that if there was much longer delay,
the allotment for this project would
revert back to the general fund and
be appropriated elsewhere, and if
this should happen, it would be
many years before the government
would undertake and complete this
work.
Senator Tom Everett also urged
the immediate signing of the con.
', tracts. He said good many of
those who were INDIFFERENT seemed to
be under the impression they had a
water right and would have water
enough to irrigate their land regard
