Form and Fact
VICTORY FOR BELTRAMI COUNTY
James Tried to Collect the Sum By
Order From One of the District
Court Judges ? d,

Lyndon A. Smith, attorney gener-
al, has withdrawn the bill Of the
state against Beltrami county for in
cidental expense in the Dumas trial.
The. bill amounted to about 5000. 1t
is said that it was not drawn up in
legal form and contained items not
allowable Mr.. Smith stated that his
office would draft new bill and pre-
sent 1T rat the next meeting of the

Attorney General Smith stated to
the commissioners that the bill was
not in proper form nor properly item

matter at once. He further pointed
out that there might be a question
as to the liability of the county for
such expenditures incurred by his
office and that if the commissioners
were in doubt, to disallow the bill
and allow the matter to be tested in
the courts at once. In doing this, he
said the commissioners would be do
ing him favor as until that point
was ruled upon, he had some hest
fancy in again going into county
and mourning expense as his conting-
ent fund was limited.

the county officers have been right
in their refusal to pay the presented

WEST VIRGINIA UNCERTAIN
Was All for Taft, but Delegation
May Go to Roosevelt.

:Parkersburg, w. Va, Feb. 20
Republican leaders representing
nearly all of the counties of West
Virginia assembled in conference
here today to discuss the course to
be followed in the coming national
and state compaign. So far as. the
state ticket this year is concerned the
party leaders feel that an energetic
campaign will result in a Republican
victory, Notwithstanding the conf
dence felt by most of the Democrats
that they are going to sweep the
state and add to the advantages they
gained in the election of legisla-
ture and four out of the fire repre-
sentatiyes in 1910.
Considerable uncertainty appears
to surround the attitude of the Re-
publicans in regards to the president
ial nomination. Until the past few
weeks it was generally supposed that
little or no opposition would devel-
op and that the West Virginia dele
CATION would cast its votes for the re-
nomination of President Taft as a
matter of course. The La Toilette
candidacy, even when at it's food
tide, appeared to make little impress
sion upon the Republicans of this
state. Roosevelt, however, has al
ways had many admirers and sup
porters in West Virginia and it is re-.
ported that today's conference was
called with a view to crystallizing
the Roosevelt sentiment. This re-
port is strengthened by the fact that
the call for the conference was issued
from the Office Of Governor Glasscock,
who is an ardent Roosevelt man. In
a statement issued last month Govern
or Glasscock declared that careful
canvass Of the political situation in
West Virginia had convinced him
that the people of the state are over
Whelmingly for Colonel Roosevelt for
the Republican presidential nomina-
ton. 4 sas sas

VACANT FORTIES SETTLED
Thirty-six Occupied Since News of
Judicial Ditch 6 was Made
it Public.
NORTHERN LANDS SAID FERTILE

Thirty-six quarter sections of gov
eminent land in the northern part of
Beltrami county have been settled as
homesteads, according to Attorney
middleton OF Baudette, since il was
announced that judicial ditch
would be built. This ditch has not
yet been started but is to begin at
point six miles from Williams and
run eleven miles north into an arm
of ripple bay. ~. -s.z-. ...& -
It's understood that the contracts
for building this ditch have been let
and that as soon as the frost is out
Of the ground, actual construction
work will start, AS the ditch car
ries a road with it and has laterals
running back for two miles on each
side of it, the project will give these
new settlers an opportunity to get
their crops to market. p. Il III
Mr.. Middleton said that the land
in this part of the county is the best
in the state :'It consists, he said,
'sof a black clay that runs from
twelve to fifteen feet in depth. When
this clay is turned up to the weather
lit disintegrates and will not again
become lumpy and hard even when
wet. It is rich in soil food and grows
good crops =
considerable criticism is heard in
the northern part of the county
against the state officials because
they do not invest more of the school
fund in these ditch bonds. The bonds
pay four per cent while the best the
state appears to be doing on outside
loans is two and one-half and three
per cent This would give the school
fund. one per cent more interest per
year and also keep the money in the
state for home improvements. When
the state makes loans Of this nature,
it goes into the county and does its.
own assessing and collecting so that
the matter is in its own hands at all
tines
Mr.. Middleton concluded by say
ing that while in many cases the
bitches themselves are not Of much
Importance, they are made necessary
by the fact that the country needs
roads and at present there is no way.
to build these roads unless they are
built with the ditch. The roads can.
not be built alone SO the two are
built together. He says that the
people in the northern part of the
county expect big influx of settlers
in the spring.

HEAVY TRAINS DUE.

HARRISBURG. Pa, Aug witt
the number Of extra powderful super
heater engines installed on the Penn

crews needed to handle the freigh
traffic will be appreciably decreased.
The effect OF these engines on tht

is said by men closely connected witt
the freight movement in this city thai
this was one of the principal reason
for the laying OFF of the eleven Harris

several weeks ago.
This type of engine. which is one O
the most powerful yet designed 10

power to pull almost as many cars a

men who know whether these engine
will entirely take the place Of the o
designs, as it Is claimed that the NJ
keep of a superheater is EXCEPTIONAL
high and that they will not bear u'
under the strain Of long usage.
