FUND IS ENRICHED
Penitentiary Bonds Are Retired To
Amount of &95,053.34


Bismarck, N. D.. May 11.-Warden
F. 0. Hellstrom has issued a warrant
to retire $4,000 of four per cent Irvine
plant bonds, which were issued May
l, 1901, and due this month. The
total amount paid was $95,253.34,
$l,253.a4 of this being for interest,
These bonds were held by the state
of North Dakota in the common
school fund.
The fact that these bonds we're
paid entirely out of the earnings of
the Irvine plant demonstrates that
the people who instigated the move
ment in starting the plant had the
RICH idea. The plant has made money
even during the hard years, and has
been added to and improved until it
is one Of the most complete plants
in the entire country.
1t is no doubt gratifying to the
present board to be able to retire
these bonds at this time, as 1t will
be one Of the last important Official
acts, inasmuch as the legislature re-
Gently passed bill providing for a
board Of control to take charge of
certain institutions, including the
penitentiary.

TESTIMONY IN
PECULIAR ACTION
Case Involves Right of Former
Official to Make Purchase
of Certain Lands

Bismarck. N. D., May 11.-Testi-
mony is being taken before Judge
Winchester in his chambers at the
court house in the case of the Patter-
son Land company of St. Paul versus
George w. Lynn Of Linton. There
were seven days spent on the case in
February and at that time it was ad-
journed until May. The case is a
a great deal of interest in this section
of the country.
The case involves the title to sever
al thousand acres of lands in Emmons
county. 1t seems that several years
ago when Lynn was states attorney
of Emmons county the Hackney Boyn-
ton Land company purchased tax
titles to thirty-five sections of land
and Lynn, it is said, assisted them in
this purchase. Later, after he had
left the office, Lynn jumped into the
game himself and is said to have re-
deemed the taxes on the lands in
question. The point being disputed
is whether or not he could use the
knowledge he had gained while a
county official to further his private
interests.
Since the tax titles were first pur-
chased the Hackney ?Boynton COM
pany has been dissolved and there
are now four separate land compan-
les in its place-the Hackney Land
company, the Boynton Land company
the Patterson Land company and the
Hoerr Land company. The latter
company is located at Mankato, the
other three being st. Paul firms.
The case at present against Lynn
is that OF the Patterson company. It
covers all of the essential points of
the other three cases. The other
cases are also submitting testimony
in places where there has to be a diff
ference in order to show their rights.
The case will probably drag out for
several days yet as the evidence is
not all in as yet.
Judge N. c. Young Of Fargo and
Attorneys Ashley Coffman and A. R.
Moore of St. Paul are here looking
after the interests of the land COM
panies and Mr. Lynn is also in at

FIRE IN WILLIAMS
Grazing Land Suffers Losses Through
the Flames.

Williston, N. D., May 11.-Extensive
prairie fires in the eastern part of
Williams county wrecked havoc over
large portion of the grazing district.
The flames were difficult to combat and
the farmers and ranchers engaging in
the task of putting them out, found
their work extremely hard, but were
finally successful. Considerable dam
age was done to several telephone
lines in the district, service being
completely disrupted through the de-
struction of the poles by the fire. Sew
eral of the farmers barely saved their
cattle from the flames.

BULLS AND BEARS
N ADEADL0CK
Price Changes Were Normal
Though There Was Decided
Drift Downward

New York, May 1.-THE state of
poise which has been maintained in
the stock market in the last few days
was preserved today, the opposing
forces of speculation remaining vir-
tually at deadlock. Trading received
no fresh impetus and price changes
were nominal, although there was a
more decided drift downward.
The heavy undertone was described
as being due to the cumulative effect
of the decline in general business and
the unsatisfactory political outlook.
Reduction of railroad dividends was
another unfavorable factor, yesterdays
cut by the Boston & Maine being fol-
lowed today by similar action on the
part of the Vandalia, a subsidiary of
the Pennsylvania system. Following
announcement of the reduction by the
Vandalia, Pennsylvania sold below 1922
for the first time since 1908. New
York, New Haven & Hartford fell
nearly three points today, presumably
on account Of the change in payment
on Boston & Maine stock, of which it
is large holder. The sentimental
effect upon the market as whole,
was regarded as of greater significance
than the action Of the stocks directly
concerned.
Publication of the monthly state
ment Of the untitled orders of the
United States Steel corporation did
not rouse the market from it's interia,
the price Of United States Steel itself
scarcely moving when the announce
ment was made that untitled tonnage
at the end Of April was 22S,000 tons
less than at the close of the preced-
ing month.
Today's figures are the smallest Of
any month of the year, with the ex-
ception of those for January, and
merely served to corroborate informa-
ton which had been obtained from
every quarter, pointing to contrac-
ton of business after the brief eX-
pension enjoyed early in the year.
Whatever changes may take place, in
the aspect of the steel business as
whole, the belief is accepted by many
interests in the financial community
that the situation there will not be
clarified until some definite indication
shall be obtained as to what may be
expected in the way of legislation af-
fecting the tariff and corporations gen.

interpreted literally II would mean that
every concession given to Canada. 10y agree

all those countries whose treaties have the
favored nation clause. but the contention
Is interposed that when agreements are
made for mutual concessions an exception
exists and the favored nation clause does
not apply. Upon this we may safely RELY
Az. however. this contention In In the face
OF distinct provisions in many treaties
seemingly effective whenever concessions
are granted elsewhere, this exception would
naturally be const rued with some degree OF
