ground that the people must vote
bonds and that until the people had
voted on the subject, the city could
not enter into such a contract. Coun-
Gilman Townsend stated he saw in
the whole affair nothing but the same
proceeding the council had gone
through before, and was not favora-
BILE to It, and neither was Pember-
ton.
Councilman White was in favor of
It, declaring that the company well
understood that the contract would
not be binding on the city until ap-
proved by the people
Before speaking on the subject,
Councilman Rigdon, who is at the
head of the water committee, ap-
pointed to make negotiations for the
purchase of the plant, asked that the
councilmen express themselves
whether they favored municipal own
ership, and they all did.
Councilman Jones stated he favored
municipal ownership, but that he de-
sired to avoid the piling up of an
expense on the city by hiring engi-
neers to make an appraisement be-
fore the people had voted on the sub
ject. He expressed himself as hav-
ing doubts whether, after the matter
contemplated by the arbitration pro-
ceedings were submitted to the peo-
pie, they would vote in favor of It,
Councilman Rigdon asserted that
he did not favor the proposition as
submitted by the company, and that
II 1t was accepted by the council he
would resign as a member of the
water committee. He objected to the
arbitration method, for It would gen.
orally be felt that the committee or
the council in accepting the amount
involved, had received side money,
There would always come the in
quiry he declared; "old fellow, how
much did you get?'
The council then voted the matter
down and the resolution was submit
ted to It for action White opposed
the resolution because he believed II
was the foundation for condemnation
proceedings and that It would tie the
subject up in the courts for years
Councilman Jones voiced the same
views, but upon a vote being taken
the resolution was passed.

ENDS INDIGESTION
STOMACH MISERY
OR THE DYSPEPSIA

Nothing will remain undigested or
sour on your stomach if you will take
a little Diapepsin occasionally This
powerful digestive and antacid,
though as harmless and pleasant as
candy, will digest and prepare for
assimilation into the blood all the
food you can eat.
Eat what your stomach Graves,
without the slightest fear Of indiges-
ton or that you will be bothered with
sour risings, belching, gas on stom-
ach, heartburn, headaches from stom-
ach, nausea, bad breath, water brash
or a feeling like you had swallowed a
lump of lead, or other disagreeable
miseries. Should you be suffering
now from any stomach disorder you
can get relief within five minutes.
If you will get from your pharma-
cist a 5O-cent case Of Pape's Diapep-
sin, you could always go to the table
with a hearty appetite, and your
meals would taste good, because you
would know there would be no indi-
gestion or sleepless nights or head
ache or stomach misery all the next
day; and besides, you would not
need laxatives or liver pills to keep
your stomach and bowels clean and
fresh.
Pape's Diapepsin can be obtained
from your druggist, and contains
more than sufficient to thoroughly
cure the worst case of indigestion or
dyspepsia. There is nothing better
for gas on the stomach or sour odors
from the stomach or to cure a stom-
ach headaches.
You couldn't keep handler or
more useful article in the house.

WILL MAKE NO
IMMEDIATE
DECAPITATIONS

For awhile, at least, II the statement
of Governor West can be relied on,
the gilded axe will fall on no more
employees Of the state penitentiary.
1t descended yesterday afternoon
upon the neck of Dr. Roy D. Byrd, and,
while not clean cut, 1t was complete
enough to sever him from the 500 sal
ary a month he has been drawing from
the penitentiary
Evidently before cutting off any
more heads the governor desires to
take an inventory of his stock. He de-
clared today that he desired to set
about and organize the present en-
ployes, and then, If 1t should appear to
him that more men were employed in
running the penitentiary than neces-
sary, that there would be further
changes. What they would be II ii
should prove necessary, he declined to
state.
Byrd is Democrat. He is broth
er of DR.. w. D. Byrd, who is prominent
in the valley and state as a Democrat
ic politician. Generally, among the
local Democrats, a howl has gone up
against the governors discharging Of
James and Byrd. The matter is de-
nounced in strong terms, and should II
be that the governor would again seek
office 1t may be said, without fear Of
contradiction, that he will find himself
lacking many a Democratic vote.

He is There all the Time

Bismarck Times: The manner in
which the enemies of Attorney General
Miller froth and howl but the progress
they make. is one of the most interest
ing phenomenon of North Dakota poll
tics. Somebody has always just des-
credited Miller and reaching for his
scalp but it eludes him and Miller comes
up smiling, stronger than ever. Miller
is without question the strongest indi-
vidual in the progressive camp. Many of
his enemies, and he has them in both fac
tions of the party, vaguely realize this
but cannot understand it. The solution
is simple. Miller is the best politician
in the state. He is there with the
goods when the time comes. Just now
that the cry is being raised that he is
an inefficient state officer, he comes
forward with the fact that he has saved
the state up into six figures, and that
he is the most economic and efficient
attorney general the state has ever
had. Makes his case good and has an
issue to present to the people which
cannot be escaped.

If Roosevelt shall be nominated the

The republican national convention

velt by the republicans will vastly ben
eft the candidacy of Clark or Harmon

nomination of Taft by the republicans

Be More Than an Average

In the American northwest today we
hear a great deal about the average
farmer, the average yield of wheat,
the average yield of corn, the average
yield of oats, the average yield of bar
ley, etc. / wonder if we ever stop to
think that the average farmer is only
making a fair living and small profits
from an average crop in this great ter
ritory. What does it mean? 1t means
that few are making considerably
more than the average, and there must
be some considerably below the aver
age. They are making bare exis-
tence.< In the season of 1912 let us an
alyze the situation; check up the
methods, keep books this year on the
cost of products. If we increase our
crops above the average, the average
will colne up. Lets stand aside and
watch ourselves go by; be more than
the average farmer.
