NEWS NOTES FROM
THE STATE CAPITOL

Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. liver Acker,
the legislative reference librarian, is
receiving numerous requests from the
members of the last assembly for in
formation regarding appropriations on
the basis of a budget. The members
seem to want to become posted in re-
gard to the New York law on this sub
ject which was enacted in 1910 and
which requires to be furnished the leg
islature a statement and estimate from
all state departments and institutions
as to the amount of money required
for the biennial period. Information is
also being sought regarding the bud-
getary system in effect in foreign coun-
tries. The state tax association which
meets in Fargo jan 80, will have a
symposium on this subject and several
members of the legislature will partici-
pate.
Lou Blocker, deputy bank examiner,
has been going over bank reports re-
ceived from various towns around the
state, and the names of some of the
towns caused the following daffodil to
occur TO him: IF Hunter Selz a

for Grafton where he will address a
meeting Of farmers Tuesday evening
for the purpose Of arousing more en-
thusiasm there along dairy lines and
hopes to be able to cause more activi-
ty in that industry. He will also inn
press on the people there the necessity
Of keeping r. w. Merrill. the federal
dairyman stationed in that section Of
the state. The farmers have started
to construct large number of silos in
that section and if Mr.. Merrill can be
kept on the ground with them his ex-
pert knowledge will be a great benefit.

Chicago, Ill, Jan. From stenog-
rapher to president of an immense
railroad and transportation company
is the record OF the last fourteen
years for o. I. Dickson. He is still
young man and is accredited with
biting the youngest railroad president
in the world.
1t was just fourteen years ago that
he accepted a position as stenographer
in the Office of the Burlington & Quin-
cy railroad. At the recent meeting OF
the directors of the White Pass &
Yukon railroad he was made president
and given full power to develop this
important transportation system ia
Alaska. .f...
Mr.. Dickson is in London on busi-
ness for the road and as yet has not
learned of his election, but his friends
in Chicago told yesterday why they
had chosen him for the position.
Dickson came to our road from
the Burlington only year ago" one
Of them, said yesterday. when he
left the % he was their general in
| spector Of transportation, and that
means that he had risen mighty quick
Iy. He became the vice president of
the Alaska road and acted under s..
H. Graves, who was the president until
a few weeks ago. Mr.. Graves death
was responsible for the new election" !"
Mr.. Dickson is not a college trained
man. He attributes his success to his
supreme curiosity and stick-to -itive-
ness.
''He always wished to know the rea-
son for everything" F. ]. Elliot, con-
pected with the Alaska line, said last
night. HE began as a stenographer,
end after learning all there was to that
business, set himself straightway to
finding out how the other railway
wheels went round. And he found
out, too, for he is the most tenacious
| man I ever have seen."
The White Pass & Yukon route
lies between Skagway and White
Horse, a distance of $50 miles. From
the latter point the company operates
steamship line to Dawson. The road
was the first railroad Of any size 10
be built in Alaska.

greetings to fire insurance companies

nature of a formal approval of type
writer policy which may be used in
lieu of the large and ungainly form
which was adopted many years ago be-
fore the typewriter had come into gen.
eral use. The form that has been ap-
proved may be used in typewriter OF
ordinary width. The change has re-
gard to the physical form of the policy
only. The language, paragraphing size
of type and even the numbered align,
ment as provided and established in the
standard form must be preserved. A
typewriter policy has been a ''long
felt want in this state and number
of companies have made use of that
kind of policy for some time, although
not authorized to do so.

He expects that this meeting will be

and especially in this part Of the state
where dairy farming is so extensive.
The N. p. road has notified Mr.. Flint
that for trophies the railroad company
this time will offer several silver Pitch
ers, as it is now fully appreciated that
the pitchers will make more practical
awards to farmers than the cups that
have been awarded in the past.

SANDY ROSS WAS
GIVEN FREEDOM
EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM INsUF-
FIcIENT AND ExTRADITloN PA
PERs WOULD HAVE BEEN
NEcEssARY-No TROUBLE BE-
TWEEN OFFICIALS.

Sandy Ross, alleged to be implicated
with Frank Schultz, Will Ross and
Fred Page in several robberies in the
city and country during the last month
or two, and arrested in Fargo Thurs
day night was released from custody
BY Justice Miller of Fargo last Sat
urday. Ross was arrested at the in
stance OF Chief of Police OrLaughlin
of Moorhead as fugitive from JUS
tice, but the prisoner declined to go
over to Minnesota without requisition
papers. The suggestion was made that
he be held in Fargo on the charge or
selling stolen property within the
state of North Dakota. 1t was alleged
that Ross with the other men named
stole different kinds of produce in Clay
county and sold it in Fargo. ="
When Ross was taken before Justice
Miller in Fargo on Saturday the facts
were found to be in such shape that
the court decided that the only way
Ross could be taken to Moorread was
Through the medium of a regular
sreuuisition and in the absence of that
formality on the part of the Clay
county officials Justice Miller ordered
the discharge of the prisoner. In con-
nection with the case County Attorney
johnson of Clay county had interviews
with States Attorney Fowler in Fargo,
who he left with the understanding
that he as to see him again before
he release Of Ross, but he could not
do so. Mr.. Johnson denies the &C
euracy Of certain remarks attributed
10 him and in contra says that he has
always been treated we'll by the police
of Fargo and the officials Of Cass
County, but in cases OF the nature of
those at issue, and in which it is al
legged that Sandy Ross is implicated, it
is hard to give full explanations as
the cause of justice might be defeated.
Mr.. Johnson stated that convictions
could not be secured without evidence
and it was simply a waste of time and
money to go ahead half cooked"
