to the Council

The Grand Forks womcn's Civic
league believes thai tho sale of spring

under the direction of DR.. G.. +. Ruc-
digger OF the state university. and the
leagues opinion was embodied in the
following petition presented to tho
city council Monday evening. and by
the council referred to a committee:
TO the Honorable Mayor and City
Council. Grand Forks, n. ID.
while our city water is in perfect
condition we realize that the sale of
spring water continues and we feel
that these should be S~afcguardcd as
we'll as h city water.
I'VE, therefore, petition YOUR hon

filter. DR.. Ruediger. be empowered to

MONTANA IS SORE
over THE FLAX
& AWARD
Unable to Swallow Defeat at
Hands of Cavalier County
Grower

Montana is somewhat wrought up
over the fact that q Cavalier county,
North Dakota farmer was successful
in CARRYING away the flax prize at the
recent Northwest Land Products show
in st. Paul, and they arc not the least
OIL nashful about making their senti-
ment known.
They now want H. l.. Bolley Of
North Dakota to act as Judge on
samples of the two flax seeds, submit
ting them to him without anything to
Indicate from whence they were
grown. but Mr.. Bolley has already
modestly declined on the plea that
such Judging could hardly be held VAL
uahle in view Of the fact that there is
such a wide divergence of opinion ar
to rules which should govern the
judging.
From Glendive. Mont. comes the
following statement of the situation
as viewed by the westerncrs:
u. Harlow, manager of the
Dawson County Development league,
before his return to Glendivc from st.
Paul. obtained a written statement
from William James. member of the
Nebraska state board of agriculture.
VINO acted as Judge Of the flax exhibits
at the recent Northwest Land Show.
M whose award OF the first prize to
North Dakota still rankIes in tho
minds of. those who believe Dawson
county should have had this much
desired recognition.
Mr.. James writes as follows:
AS judge ct flax and grains, will
say that there were thirty-four cntries

Prof. Boley made a modest reply, dc
claring that he was glad he had not
been called upon to determine the
matter, also stating that one difficulty
attending the Judging of such exhibits
IS the failure to definitely determine
the rules for guidance of judges.
1T may be that Prof. Bolley will

INSURANCE IN
new. DEPARTMENT
!: OF STATE
Seventy Per Cent of Face
Value Paid Policy Hold
ers Who Lost

Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor W. c. Gilbreath has just made
a report. covering the operations Of
the hail insurance department estnb-
ltshed by the last state legislative as
sembly. The fact that the law was
passed late in the session made it inn
possible to make its scope of opera
but even with that handicap a total
OF 1,011 insurance policies were writ
ten.
The department paid a total of $21,-
$1,000 In losses during the first years
operations. while the total receipts Of
the department were ~$26,104.64 on the
policies written.
All claims for losses were paid on
the seventy per cent basis-that is,
ance received seventy per cent Of tine
face of their policy OF total losses.
There were 1S9 claims presented for
payment.
The operations of the department.
will be watched very closely this year,
for. should the state insurance bust.
ness prove a success. its growth will
be decidedly rapid. The insurance
policies are written for the depart-
ment by the township assessors. hence
there is no expense incident to that
feature of the work.
1t is the theory of the law to fur.
nish the farmers Of North Dakota
with the cheapest possible protection
from hail. and at the SAME time make
1t the most stable and certain. The
state does not guarantee to the policy
value Of their policy in cases. of loss,
but that they will receive their pro
rata share.
The rate that is provided by the
law Is low. but there may be a slight
increase made by the next legislative
assembly in the event that it appears
advisable to make such a change.

insurance department follows:

PASS SPUR TRACK
" ORDINANCE .
BY Tie Vote the Proposition
Was Turned Down at

bate in which views pro and o were
offered, the city council Monday

six. Aldermen Smith and Redick. be-
ing out of the city. The affirmative
vote of a majority-eight-of the

postponemcnts were the result of the
somewhat bitter fight that developed.
Last night 1t was again in evidence
and personalities were banded back
and forth and the lie passed.

~. the vote on the ordinance compar-
atively little business was transacted
