MISERABLE ROADS
GREAT HANDICAP
DIRECTOR PAGE DECLARES IN
ADEQUATE CONSTRUCTION
METHODS CAUSE uN-
TOLD LOSSES.

washington, Jan. 5.--The United
States suffers direct loss of 100000,
600 annually on account of incorrect
and inadequate methods in the con-
struction, maintenance and admins
tration of public roads. according to an
assertion of L. w. Page, director of the
United States office Of public roads,
and president of the new American
Association for Highway Improve
ment.
This enormous loss is nothing COM
pared with the indirect loss, through
excessive cost OF transportation, which
Is caused by the burden which bad
roads impose upon the farmers and
others who use the highways, and this
amount, according to Mr.. Pages re-
port, reaches the impressive total of
$250, 900, 900 every year. The American
farmer is paying two or three times as
much to get his products to market as
the man who tills the ground in Eu-
rope, and this added cost of transpor-
tation is known to be an important
factor in the high cost of living prob
lem. France is said to use her fine
system of roads just one and one-third
times as much as her railroads for
transportation, whereas in this coun-
try the public roads are so poorly
maintained and administered, as a
whole. that the highways carry only
between one-tfiird and one fourth as
much produce as the railroads. Road
! experts say conditions here and abroad
are almost exactly reversed. due en-
tirely TO bad roads.
Director Page described the condition
OF the roads Of the United States in
making an announcement that the
American Association for Highway Inn
provement has opened offices In Wash
ington. The organization of this assoc
citation followed a conference In this
city several weeks ago OF many Of the
leading road engineers of the country.

nished when the joint session of the
house and senate came very near adj

governor to take his oath OF Office. Had
he gone from the chamber without
swearing to defend the constitution
Of the United States and state of North
Dakota, he would still have been gov
ernor until his successor had been
sworn in, but it would have been a
continuation only of his second term.
After the inaugural address and mes
sage had been read. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Burdick asked the legislature
what awaited their pleasure. After a
few moments of silence, one of the sem
ators arose and moved that the joint
assembly dissolve. However, before
there was a second to the motion, there
was whispered conference behind the
speakers desk, and it was announced

WINTER RATES
ARE PREPARING
THE EXCURSION BUSINESS ON
ALL THE RAILROADS IS VERY
QUIET WITH NO SPECIAL RATES
BEING GIVEN AT PRESENT..
BUSINESS CONTINUES GOOD.

i The excursion business on all of the
railroads just at present is at it's low
est ebb, but business continues good.
There are no rates being given, ex-
cepting the usual winter rates to Cali
fornia and Florida, and it must be
said that Fargo avails herself of these
rates to great extent for many OF
her citizens and people from all over
the state are in the west or south to
get away from the cold weather.
Travel. notwithstanding the weather,
has been very brisk on the Northern
Pacific for the past few weeks and
there does not seem to be that lull
which is always felt right after the
holidays. In fact. the two big roads,
the N. P. and the Great Northern are
each doing a remarkable winter bust
ness.

CASE
TO HIGH COURT
DO CONTRACTS FIXING PRICE
VIOLATE THE SHERMAN
ANTITRUST LAW?

Washington, Jan. 5.--Do contracts to
prevent "cut rates" in proprietary
medicines violate the sherman anti
trust law or the common law in re-
straint of trade?
That question was argued before the
supreme court OF the United States.
Upon the decision of the court is said
to depend the continuation of "cut
rates" in proprietary medicines in the
United States. 1t probably will be
several weeks before the court will
announce it's decision.
The question was brought before
the court by the Dr. Miles Medical
Co., Of Elkhart, Ind A few years ago.
that company entered into certain
contracts with dealers in medicines
throughout the country. These were
not contracts Of sale, so the company
now contends but contracts of con-
signment, under which the dealers did
not become the owners of the medi-
cines, but did become agents of the
company was that the dealers should
sell only to certain persons and at
certain prices.
John ID. Park & Sons Co. of Gin
clnnatit o., did not enter into a con-
tract with the DR. Miles Medical Co.
but the latter charges the Cincinnati
firm with inducing others who did
make such contracts to break the
conditions concerning persons and
price. The manufacturing company
went into the courts asking for an
Injunction 1gf
to prevent it from procuring contract
violations and from selling the medi =
cine at cut rates.
Justice Lurton, then on the circuit
benchS announced the opinion of the
United States circuit court of appeals
TO rthe sixth circuit, in which the in
junction requested by the nanufac
turer was denied. The case was an
pealed to the supreme court, and
Frank F. Reed and Edward S. Rogers
presented brief in support of the
position taken by the DIR. Miles Medi-
cal Co. Alton B. Parker and William
j. SHREDDER filed a brief for the John
D. Park e. Sons Co.
In the brief for the manufacturer
it was urged that the lower court had
erred in holding that even if the con-
tracts were construed as contracts of
consignment or agency that they
were void because in restraint of trade,
both at common law and under the
Sherman antitrust law.
In the first place it was argued in
the brief that contracts between a
principal and an agent were not in
restraint of trade, whatever condi-
tions were included in the contracts.
Furthermore, it was contended that
the medicines embodied trade secrets
and from the very nature of the artl-
Giles the owner of the secrets was en-.
titled to a monopoly therein.
In the brief prepared by Mr.. Parke.
and Mr.. SHREDDER it was argued that
the courts could not insure an un-
necessary monopoly in proprietary
medicines. 1t was argued that the
manufactures was asking for protec-
ton granted only on patented articles
without subscribing to the condition
imposed upon patented articles, name
ly that they will become available to
the public after a few years. Extend
ed arguments were presented in the
brief to show that the contracts vio-
lated the common law and the Sher-
man act.

When Airs Not Right.

When the eastern railroad ticket
agents sometimes make slip and send
out lot of old time tickets for the
local ticket sellers to sell, they most
generally slip a cog, and have the
bunch sent back Recently one Of the
eastern roads sent batch of tickets
here that We're all right for Buffalo
and New York, but there was no cou-
pom place for Boston, and elsewhere.
These were promptly sent back, for
the eastern men evidently expected the
locals to make out their own coupons.
A new set was received shortly after
wards and they were found to be all
right.

CUPID'S FIRST in 1911
First Marriage License of the Year
Issued Today--cupid Is Slow
This Year.

The first marriage license of the year
was issued today at the county court.
Cupid has been very slow this year,
and with the start that the little love
god has secured, his record will be way
below the average for 1911.
Miss Maggie zehn of Page and Hew-
ell Reid Of the same town were the
first victims of the year. It is thought
around the county court Offices that the
reason why Cupid is so slow is that
he wants to wait until 1912, and have
good leap year showing.
