SUPREME COURT
SUSTA|NS GOVERNOR
IN APPOINTMENT OF ASSESSORS
PARTY NAMED BY bOAHD
MUST VACATE.

The state administrator was IL
nally yic.uIioua in the Woods toun-
ty assessorship fight, an OPINION
handed down by the supreme court
Thursday, holding tsat Anon NC
keever, appointee OF Governor Cruce
is legally entitled to the place, ana
that J. w. Colvin, who was appoint
ed by the board of county commits
sloners, must vacate.
When the county assessor law be-
came operative, Governor Cruce ap-
pointed a man named Hatfield to
the place. Hatfield subsequently re-
signed, and the vacancy was filled
by Governor Cruce, who named Nc
IKeever. The board Of county com
missioners held that after the first
appointment was made by the gov
ernor and the place was vacated, it
then was up to the county commits
sioners TO fill the vacancy. They ac-
cordingly named GOWN.
The question as to which was the
legal assessor of Woods county was
taken to the district court of Woods
county, where Judge Loofbourrow
held that the commissioners had the
power to make the appointment, IN
der the circumstances.
The supreme court reversed The
lower court, however, and the gov
ernor's appointee will take charge
of the office at once. The opinion
was written by Justice Kane, and
the court held that the laws of the
state confer upon the governor the
sole power to make appointments to
fill the office of county assessor
This power continues, the court
holds, until a successor to the an
pointee of the governor is elected
and qualified, and within such time
the governor has the power TO ap-
point successor to a former ap-
pointee who has resigned Oklaho-
man.

A GOOD GAS
SERVICE GIVEN

The City Gas company, from the
time it was organized and began op-
Grating the distributing gas plant in
Ardmore, has been very careful to in
vestigate all complaints relating to
unsatisfactory gas service, imperfect
and wasteful heating or cooking ap-
pliances, apparent excessive bills and
dissatisfaction or trouble of any kind
in connection with the use of gas. AS
an evidence of this we notified our
customers through the city papers
few weeks ago that we had employed
gas appliance expert who would
examine and readjust, when neces-
sary, the cooking and heating stoves
without making any charge for the
same. Since then over three hundred
and fifty calls have been made. 4
large number of those called upon
Aould not allow our representative
to examine their stoves as they were
under the impression that a charge
would be made for the work and a
considerable portion of them, appar-
entity, continued TO hold this impress
sion after being assured by him that
the inspection and readjustment was
free and that the object of the com
pany in going to this expense, was
to give the gas consumers good and
satisfactory service at the lowest pos
sble cost. For the above reasons
We have decided to make no further
inspection except on request from the
consumer. We herewith ask all con-
sumers who are having any of the
troubles mentioned, TO notify us and
we will promptly and cheerfully in
vestigate and make correction, il pos
sible to do so by adjustment, and II
not, will give proper advice relating
10 necessary repairs or charges.

stated that the hotel mems commit

plan, while the travellers who are di-
rectly interested in the measure are
opposed to it.
Another thing that will more than
likely some up will be the appoint

O'Gorman now holds this position and
has proved to be acceptable, and the
members Of the travellers in general
will do their best to secure his reap

cred to be quite important.

FRANK GRAVEL'S
COSTLY TOBACCO
HIS WIFE DOESN'T APPRECIATE
THE FACT THAT SOME sMoK.

BUT THE CHICKENS HAD TO BE
SAVED,

Everybody who belongs to No. SIS
knows or has heard Of Frank X. Gra-
vel, who is the head of the sales de-
partment of the Stone-O Wells
Co., which has a branch house here
with the main house at Duluth. A
few days ago Mr.. Gravel was in the
city and had a pleasant visit with
the traveller reporter. Frank used to
be on the road himself, can tell a
story, sing a song or do almost any
thing else that will assist in amusing
or insturcttng the boys. He was a
little down in the mouth and was ask
ed what was troubling him.
For years." said Mr.. Gravel, Il
have been a great devotee to tobacco,
we'll loaded with the fragrant weed. 1t
drives dull car away and puts me in
shape for the big things in life. A few
days age a friend sent me FIVE pounds
of especially fine homespun. Thinking
to improve it, l bought three other
kinds of milder tobacco and blended
it all together, feeling secure in the
thought that l had several months of
delicious smoking before me.
One evening last week after | had
arrived at home and shucked my coat,
put on my house slippers and was
ready for a quiet sieSta, l went to the
place where l always keep my tobac-
co, dug up the old pipe and reached
further in for my tobacco box. 1t was
gone! l hunted high and low, but not
a crumb of my much priced peace me-
terial could l find. I called my wife
and asked If she had seen it, and this
is what she said:
"'Oh, / forgot to tell you about it.
heard the other day that tobacco was
splendid to keen chickens from
scratching up newly planted seeds,
and so 1 used it protect my new flower
garden. And, don't you know, the
chickens won't go about the garden at
ally"
Nope, there's no balance" to the
story. Why not end it right here?

MELTING SUNDAY
At Com. CLUB
THE QUESTION OF A PROPOSED
NEW HOTEL BILL TO BE DIS
cussEp BY THE TRAVELLERS OF
THE CITY AND VICINITY IN A
SESSION TOMORROW.

A mass meeting has been called of
the travellers of Fargo and vicinity
for tomorrow afternoon at 8 o'clock
at the Fargo Commercial club WITHOUT
regard to whether they r. or are not
members of the United Commercial
Travellers organization, AMI it is for
the purpose of discussing the pro-
posed new hotel bill which is to be
introduced at the new legislature next
January, and which proposes to have
the hotel inspector paid a salary, and
this salary to be paid out of state
funds.
1t is generally understood that the
travellers will object to the bill, on
the ground that the farmers over the
state would object to paying this bill
for the reason that they might think
that it was class legislation, and the
travellers appear to desire that the pay
Yffent of the officer be continued as
low, each hotel being inspected set
ting the bill for the same. 1t is
