the purpose of defeating or offsetting
the very result which the law itself or
the spirit of the law, was designed to
secure. The child labor law is an ex-

the provisions of this law are children
who have no parents or disabled pa

ones who should be provided with an
education in order that they may be
enabled to maintain themselves and

for this class and should see that it is

DETERMINE VALUE
Construction OF New Lines Depends
on Prices Asked.

sehafer; n: p. July I'D. J.
Hull. a Great Northern right-of-way
man. has established headquarters at
the T.. o. Mundy office. AS 0 as
he has completed a list of the prop
erty owners from records at the court
house. he will make 2 journey over
the survey for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the approximate cost of the
r~ight-of-way through the country.
According to information cleaned
from Mr.. Hull. Mr.. Robinson of the
traffic department. Chief Engineer
Hogeland and others. who have trav-
eled over the line to determine the
value of the land needed for the
r%ight-of-way, the date OF beginning
the construction of the line depends
entirely upon what the company will
be asked to pay for the land. If the
right-of-way can be purchased at
what the railway officials consider a
reasonable sum-. work will undoubt-
edly begin on the line at an early
date. Should a number of property
owners. however, ask the company
.eNorbitant prices for their land the
work of constructing the line will be
delayed.
MIR. Hull's instructions are not to
pay more han SIS per acre for the
r~ight-of-way in any case. Where the
line crosses a corner or passes along
one side or n of n farm the COM
pany officials are of the opinion that
from five to ten dollars per acre
would be a fair price.

Wife Of Galatian Farmer Is .Adjudsed
Insane Although She Is Not
Violent.

Dickinson. y. D., July 13.-Deputy
Sheriff w. e. King of Belfield took
Mrs Mary Tkocheruko to the insane
HOSPITAL at jamestown. Mrs. Char
lotte George Went along as attendant
for the sick woman.
The Tkocheruko family reside near
the Alb Murray place and about ten
miles northwest of the Jerry Hayes
ranch. They are in Mckenzie county
but owing to high water they were
unable to cross to the county seat,
Schafer, therefore the case was trans
ferred to Stark.
The unfortunate woman was not
violently insane and the cause of her
arrangement is probably due to worry
over financial II other troubles.
The family are Galatians and have
been farming nut here for about two
years. The husband came as far as
the city with his wife and returned
home from here. There are several
children in the family ranging in
