for he has contracted to give Fargo
the best state fair that has ver been

Putting on a state fair is no small
task in itself. and demands the whole
attention Of the ordinary individual

APPEAL UNLIKELY IN
ABSTRACT LAW

County and State Attorneys
Agree With Templeton-
Measure Void

No protection is afforded the public
through the law passed by the last
Legislative assembly providing that alb
stractors must maintain, in their own
Offices. complete duplicates OF the
county realty records. That is the
opinion Of Judge G. F. Templeton of
Grand Forks. and on which he bases
an order running to A. E. Watson and
against County Auditor Hans Ander-
90. compelling the latter to issue a GER
'tificate authorizing him to engage in
the abstract business despite the fact
that he has not complied with the
measure in question.
There probably will be no appeal to
the supreme court. States Attorney
O.. B. Burtness of Grand Forks county
will advise the county commissioners
that. in his opinion, the law is in
valid and that there is no hope Of
overturning the district courts de-
ciston. The attorney general holds
like views on the question. and should
an appeal be taken. 1t only would be
for the purpose of making the point
Of unconstitutionality more secure,

LEGATION. Secretary Talcott was the on
ly parsonage in evidence. Senator
1alcott and Chairman Talcott were
both out Of town.
Mr.. Talcott, SO far as politics are
concerned, declares he Is too busy
thinking about other thtngs-meaning
the state fair. Not that he is out of
politics altogether-for he isn't.
During the past few years the name
Of Mr.. Talcott has become quite IA
miliar in North Dakota. AS Il men,
Der Of the state senate he has been a
prominent worker for educational in
~terests, being chairman Of the senate
educational committee for several ses-
sions. and always being closely identi-
fed with anything that had to do with
the betterment OF the states system
Of spreading knowledge for the bene-
fit Of the younger generation.
Mr.. Talcott has. in recent years,
been suggested on several occasions az
a candidate for governor. And he al
so has been suggested as a probable
candidate for national committeeman.
Just now. however, Mr.. Talcott is not
a politician. F1e is a busy fair secre-
tary devoting his time and energy to
the building up of an exposition that
will. 81 he says. be q credit to the
state Of North Dakota.
