We all know that in most cases the ex-
pense in the prosecution is in direct ratio
to the financial rating Of the accused, but
even where four men are sentenced to be
hanged within two months Of the date Of
their crime there is certain amount of

new RECORD
FOR CREAMERY
BUTTER FACTORY AT ASHLEY
BREAKS THE RECORD IN
ITS OUTPUT.

Ashley, N. D., Aug. 1O.-Last Sat-
urday the Ashley creamery establish
ed a new record which is indicative of
the increasing interest being taken by
Mcintosh county farmers in the dairy
industry. On that day the creamery
received 361 a N Of cream, from which
there were made 169 tubs, or 1886
pounds of butter. OF the 361 cans of
cream received 220 were brought in
by farmers from the surrounding
country.
During the month Of July the Ash
ley creamery handled 2,763 cans of
cream. Approximately 100 cans of
cream per day are brought in by
farmers. During the same month the
railroad hauled 1,458 cans of cream
into ALLEY and 1926 cans Of cream
out of Ashley and into the twin cities.
The creamery here does not get all

Trenton point as 1t has been al
ways known was until recently a pen

FORMER CONVICT
is now MISSING
PARDoNED MAN COLLECTS
MONEY FOR EMPLOYER AND
DISAPPEARS FROM CITY.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 10.-W. G.
Mcdonald, an ex-convict who was
pardoned from the state penitentiary
last winter, does not seem to be sat
isfied with freedom and is again try
ing to force his way behind the prison
walls. That he desires to spend his
time behind the walls rather than the
outside world was clearly demonstrat-
ed last Wednesday afternoon when he
collected a bill of $40 for his employer
and then quickly disappeared.
Ever since his release from the pris-
on he has been working at odd jobs.
but Of late has been in the employ of
the Bryan Livery barn. Mr., Bryan,
proprietor OF the barn, sent Mcdonald
out last Wednesday afternoon 70 col
lect q bill amounting to $40. McDon-
aid did the collecting all right, but
failed to return to the barn with the
money. Mr.. Bryan waited patiently
for his return and upon his failure to
arrive he notified the police. A thor
ough search of the city was made for
Mcdonald but he could % be located.
Chief Mcdonald has notified ali
| sheriffs in the nearby counties to keep
la lookout for Mcdonald and his arrest
is expected soon.

COAL
LANDS SEPARATE

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 1o.-A new
feature in the work of the state
board OF equalization this year is the
return by the counties of Bowman
and Morton Of an assessment COW
er1ng underlying strata Of coal and
minerals, which minerals have been
reserved in deeds transferring the
surafce rights.
A great many lands have been
sold in the western part OF the state.
where the underlying strata Of min
eral and coal has been reserved to
the party selling. In 1907 the leg1s-
lature of North Dakota passed a law
authorizing the assessors to assess
this property and this law was re-en-
acted as a part of chapter 297, Of the
session laws of 1907, which further
provided for the assessment Of OPP
Grated coal mines.
Bowman county this year assesses
20,S56 acres of such underlying strata
which is reserved in the deed trans
ferring surface rights. The assessment
per acre is $2.56, making a total
assessment of this kind of property
in this county, $59,66S.
Morton county assesses similar
property at 205, 543 acres at 81 per
acre, making a total assessment of
$205, 543, So far as Is known at the
state house, reservations covering
mineral rights have only been made
in deeds covering land in the west
ern and southwestern part of the
state, that locality being the most
undertake with Ignite coal.

it necessitates securing men and won-

The famouse Troupe De Louvre,
now one OF the features of the Sells

greatest living exponents OF moder
endeavor in this particular line. They
give presentations Of heroic Roman,
Grecian and latter day statuary, not
only marvellous by reason of the close
resemblance to the masters work,
but also superb from the highest
standards of artistic excellence.
The Tribute Of Cupid and in fact all
the latest classics are in their roper
toire. They appear at all PERFORM
ances, and from an educational stand
point alone, are eninently worthy,
were they the only number on the pro-

proper will appear on the center stage,
and one the side of the troupe in the
rings will appear a pair OF snow

TEST CASE To The
SUPREME COURT
TRANSIENT MERCHANT LAW
WILL BE SUBMITTED FOR APP
PRovAL IN NEAR FUTURE.

Grand Forks, N. d., Aug. 10.-State's
Attorney Burtness and Atty. Gen.
Andy Miller, representing North Da-
kota in the case of state VS.. Jeffe L.
Fleming, are preparing briefs in the
case, preparatory to an appeal to the
supreme COURT by the defendant.
The case involves a point of consti-
tutional law that is interesting to say
the least. Fleming was in the en-
ploy Of J. r. Vandewater of Mound
City, Mo-, and as such brought a car
load Of apples to Niagara, where he
sold them directly from the a to
merchants and various buyers. He was
arrested, charged with violating the
transient merchant law which pro-
vides that only merchants located in
the state or those procuring a license
can sell goods. On conviction an APP
peal was taken.
The defendant contends that the
law is unconstitutional, and that in
affecting him, as the state claims, 1t is
a violation of interstate commerce and
interferes with the federal regulations.
The defendant further goes on to say
that the apples, in their natural state
and loaded in bulk in a car, were or
iginal packages and the state can
make no law regarding their sale, un-
til out Of the original package-other-
wise the car.
There are several nice points involy-
ed and the final decision on the statute
by the supreme our will be awaited
with interest by the large number of
people directly or indirectly affected,
which of course includes every mer-
chant in the state.

Will Build Two Silos.
Under the supervision Of Dairy
Commissioner r. f. Flint two concrete
siios will be constructed in connection
with the dairy exhibit and fat stock
show. One viii be completed before
the exposition opens, and the other
will be built during the exposition in
order that visitors may watch the
progress Of the work of construction.
A herd of pure bred dairy cows will
be exhibited. The completed silo will
be filled with ensilage which will be fed
to the herd during the show Trained
experts of both the state and federal
dairy departments will be in charge of
the work. The cows will be MIXED
twice each day, and the cream sepa-
rated from the milk. The cream will
later be converted into butter before
the eyes Of the visitors. BY means of
these practical lessons the dairy de-
partment hopes to stimulate interest
in the dairy industry throughout the
entire state. This is but one of the
practical results that will be achieved
through the medium Of North Dakota's
Second Annual Industrial exposition.
