Sax then worked hard TO have the
order rescinded but the commissioners
remained firm. Tremendous influence
was brought to bear upon them but 1t
was without avail. Sax put the propo-

positively declined to appear at the Ma

Back of the smashing of the boins
plans there are many little undercur-
rents. Jealousy among some of the
contractors who did not get in on the

started the knockfest which caused the

Must Have Certificate

Notification has been received
by the clerk of court of the issu-
anee by the naturalization depart.
ment of the United States of in
structions to clerks of court to re-
quire certificate of landing from
the department Of commerce and
labor. This certificate must be
presented by all petitioners for
naturalization certificate or second
paper, before the petition for ma
turalization can be fled. This or.
der effects only those who landed
in the United States since June
29th, 1906.
Under the old system q declara-
of intention to become a citizen
was fled, after which when two
years have elapsed, the petition 10
fled. To ninety days thereafter
the petitioner may take ont his
final papers. Under the new sys.
tenn the additional requirement is
that at the time Of the application
for a declaration Of intention the
certificate Of landing must be fled.

lould have stood as a man of

should have stood as man Of
honor.
The Forum feels that the con-
viction of Bickford will have q
salutary effect in North Dakota
and elsewhere. It is serving no.
tice on public officials that their
official business must be conduct
ed with integrity. .-
In view of the fact that Bick-
ford was forced to make restitu-
tion Of the principal funds - The
Forum feels that his offense was,
in degree, mitigated - and that
the complete expiation in the form
of a penitentiary sentence should
not be demanded. Now that the
ends of justice have in a measure
been attained - a suspended SEN
tence would be sufficient pom
atty.
If that is not possible it would
be a proper thing for Governor
Burke and his pardon board to ex-
ercise the clemency within their
power and parole or pardon the
offender. Governor Burke could
do this with little difficulty.
There is one other feature of
case that demands attention. The
interest money-rightfully belong
ing to the state and garnered in
by Bickford - reaches $4,000 at
least. Some reports say that it
may be as much as $1,000. 1t is
the duty of Attorney General
Miller to at once institute a civil
action in this case for the recov-
cry of that money 80 that the state
will not, in any way, be a loser.
The bonding company behind Mr..
Bickford is in every way response
ble-and the attorney general will
be negligent if he permits the state
to lose these thousands of dollars.

Plenty of Land

According to those who have
charge of the opening of the
reservation, there will be plenty
for all who wish to file.
There are 175,272 acres which
have been appraised as No. l land
and will make l,O96 quarter Sec
tions; there are 4l,O86 acres of No.
2 land, or 256 quarters; there are
l0,04S acres of grazing land or 68
quarters; there are reserved as
coal land l15,098 acres, or 719
quarters.
This will make l,419 claims that
will be subject to entry with the
coal land reserved and there is a
fair chance that the coal land will
be given to those who receive the
lucky Numbers or the numbers
under 2138. There is some chance
of this land also going to the
settlers. The settler does not
have to pay anything but the fees
and commissions that are paid for
commutation in cases where the
price of land is $1.25.
The chances in securing a
lucky number will probably range
from one chance out of ten to
twenty.

Pardon Bjelfofd

Former State Treasurer Biokford
has been convicted of embezzle-
ment., The verdict is not a sur.
prise to those familiar with the
facts which the Forum exposed
during the primary campaign last
year.
+ The official acts of the former
treasurer were the most aagrant
in the history Of the state. IL.
stead Of being a public servant he
appeared to have concluded, early
in his term-the funds of the state
were for his manipulation and pro.

His official acts have not only

the state-but also on the insur-

New Laws Have
Gone Into Effect
4 After July First Many changes Were
Made In Laws Of the State
Of North Dakota

several important measures went
into effect on July lst. One Of
these requires that all automobiles
be registered. The state board of
control bill also becomes effective.
The several local boards Of trus-
tees for the state asylum for the
insane, school for the feeble mind
ed, school for the deaf and dumb,
stat penitentiary and reform school
will be abolished. The single
board, composed Of John Carmody,
Of Hillsboro, Henry Tatley of Bis
marck and ii. Robinson of Dun
seth, will take over the control of
the institutions. This board has
been organized by the election Of
Mr.. Carmody as chairman.
{ Another board that became act
i've July 1st was that regulating
the examination of applicants for
teachers certificates. This board
held a meeting in Bismarck for the
purpose Of organizing. The mem
Gers Of the board are w. E. Hoov-.
er Of Fargo, James Kennedy of the
state university, P. NJ. Berg of the
Dickinson public schools, P. M.
Black of the school Of science, and
State Superintendent E. j. Tays
lor. The state aid for rural and
graded schools law also became ef-
fective and N. G: Mcdonald will
be inspector. :.
Important laws Of a political
nature that become effective are
those regulating the primary cleo
ton in the indication of a choice
for presidential candidates, and in
the naming of y state committee
man, as we'll as the corrupt prac-
tlce act.
In the naming Of the state COM
mitteeman by popular election, the
state is taking step decidedly
new, only Eve states i'll the union
having adopted the plan. The
several political parties name their
state committeeman at the polls.
One result, it is asserted, will be
to keep.the members of party to
their own ticket.
The corrupt practice act prohib.
its the giving Of all kinds Of drinks,
cigars, ETC., at election.

District Court Is
Still In Session
Many Important Cases Still to Be
Heard--Turtle Lake Case
IS Dismissed

District court convened We'd
nesday after an adjournment since
last Saturday noon.
Last week the case of G. E.
Paulson vs.. E. s. Russell was dis
missed. There was a disagree.
ment over the commission in q
land deal.
In the case of the First Nation
al Bank of Bismarck vs. G. E..
Paulson, the decision went for the
defendant. The sum of $4OO was
being sued for on a promissory
note. G. F. Maennel was the at.
torney for the defendant
The Peterson Machine Company
vs. N. 0. Herred was before the
court for a day. 1t seems that
Herred bought buggy from the
machine company and paid part
cash and for the balance gave a
note he had received from Frank
Daniels. This note proved to be
no good and the court was to de-
eide who should stand the loss.
The jury decided in favor of the
defendant.
The case of Wasson vs.. Ethel
Hawes, ct al was dismissed after
G. A. Wells plead guilty. At one
time it was thought the case would
be put over the term but Miss
Hawes' brother was here from
Minnesota and wanted to see the
matter settled. Wells was one of
the two persons said to have held
Wasson while he was being horse
whipped by Miss Hawes. He will
be given his sentence this morn
ing, 1t is thought it will be only
a fine to cover the costs of the
case. Lynch, the other person
who is said to have been an active
person in the proceedings, broke
his arm on the day the others were
arrested. The sheriff put off
serving the papers until Lynch
could make the trip here to attend
the preliminary hearing. He re.
covered more rapidly than expect
ed and left for the far west where
he will most likely remain. A
number of witnesses were called
who were on the scene of action
but no one was put on the witness
stand.
The case of Alec Mcdonald VS..
Devries is before the court as we
go to press.
It is not known just when court
will adjourn. There are a number
of cases on the calendar that may
be put over the term.

resident of Cogswell.
In the report it is also indicated
that the state has lost q total Of
about $37, 600 through the hand.
ling of funds in the state treasury
This loss comes through interest
that should have been gained, but
which was lost by reaaon # main
tanning excessive balances in the
Offices. During the Mcmillan
administration these balances we're
maintained ut daily average for
one year of $27l.9O6. The highest
Peterson daily average balance
was $4,000 while the highest
Bickford daily cash balance was
$93,2SO.
The report Summarizes the con-
dltion of affairs in the treasury
shows that certain collections
against Stutsman county amount
ing to $y5 were overlooked in 1908;
that Richland county owned the
state $525.O5; that there has been
a remittance of $24O from the per.
manent school fund which Treas.
urer D. 81. Mcmillan failed to
collect and that the amount was
paid to the state by Mcmillan on
June IA. Under the same head an
entry of $65 is made against Peter.
son and $28.30 against Bickford.
The loss to the state during the
eight year period in the handling
of the school fund is placed at SO
468,S7, while the loss through the
dilatory turning over of fees by
the Office of commissioner Of in.
surance is fixed at $1,000. Re-
funds of money on illegal payment
of exchange through the same
Office is fixed at So, ,O68.44.
On cash balances it is charged
that the state lost over $ll,OO(
during McMillan's administration
by reason of excessive balances or
hand; during Peterson's admin
s.ration $1,000 and during
Bickford administration about 81
600. Several banks were examined
with reference to their dealings
with the state treasury depart
ment, only the First National o1
Mandan refusing to permit such
examinations. Judge Edward
Engerud is Mr.. Peterson's at.
