road building force was accorded
recognition of the North Dakota Meri-

The route which will be taken by

where the opportunities for good
road building are excellent.
Officers of the Richland county or
ganization are enthusiastic over the

county will have one of the best sec
tions of the road to be found in the
northwest. Thomas Manidowske is
president of the division, and Alex
McKinnon is secretary and treasurer
At last evenings meeting of the

AN Army
OF Miners
On STRIKE
Have Rough Sort Of Military
Discipline
Determined to Hold Possession
Of Mines
Demand Increase Id Pay and
Recognition Of Union

Bingham, Utah. Sept 19.-An army
Of miners, fortified and determined,
held undisputed possession of the cop
per. lead and silver mines of Bingham
when the second day of the miners
strike for further 25-cent increase in
pay and recognition of their union,
dawned. s.
While workers, thousands strong and
speaking many tongues, dug breast
works, strengthened the picket lines
and worked out rough form of mill
tary discipline, there was activity in
the offices of the mining companies
and headquarters of county and state
officials, -.
Developments seemed to depend en-
tirely on the success of Governor Spry
who had been asked TO urge the strik-
efs to surrender the mines give up
their arms and wait in patience the
success or failure of the mine man
ayers to figure out the means by
which their demands can be granted.
Charles II. Meyer, president of the
Western Federation of Labor was said
to have had an appointment with Spry
to go over the situation. His infIu
ence with the miners has been ques-
toned since his failure to bring about
a postponement of the strike.

GENERAL TENDENCY TO ...

GIVEN FOR LIVING COST,

Chicago, Sept. 19.-The extrav-.
agant housewife and general
tendency to -four flush" were as
signed as principal causes of the
present high cost of living by J.
G. Schaefer, one of the speakers
at the weekly luncheon of the
Hawkeye Fellowship club yester-
day
THE country is in one of the
most prosperous conditions" said
Schaefer. who is a travelling man,
"and is being maintained so by
the administration of President
Taft. The tariff has little to do
but the people themselves have
everything to do with 1t.
"a protective tariff-such as up
held by President Taft-defends
the country and its peoples inter
ests. But this is lost sight of
by the housewife who doesn't at
tend to her duties and by the
head of the house who is con-
stantly four-flushing regarding his
income"

INSISTENT
Viii Give the Budget System
Tryout

Washington, Sept 19.-President
Taft intends to give the people of the
United States an opportunity to be-
come familiar with the budget sys-
tenn of estimating revenues and
expenditures, whether congress ap-
proves or not. In the bill passed by
congress and signed by the presi-
dent in the closing hours of the last
session 1t was decided the estimates
should be submitted to congress as
heretofore. r..--
The paragraph escaped the eyes of
the president at the time, but since
the session closed he has decided he
will try to show the country the ad-
vantages Of the budget system over
the present methods of estimating the
income and expenditures of govern
ment. The president, after consult
ing Secretary of the Treasury Mac
Veagh, has reached the conclusion
that there is nothing to prevent Mac
Veagh sending along estimates in
budget form just for comparison, but
not for use in framing bills.

LAND NEAR M'KENZIE --...
PRODUCES MORE PROFIT
THAN SELLING PRICE

Bismarck, n. D., Sept. 49,
Deputy Commissioners Wolbert re-
ports a good crop on the farm of
Ed Conley, near Mckenzie, From
forty acres he threshed and sold
1888 bushels and fifty pounds of
wheat, for which he received 20
cents. This is over thirty three
bushels per acre. From ten acres
he threshed 627 bushels of speltz,
which he viii keep for feed. When
one considers that there is any
amount of land in that community
just as good as that of Conley's,
which can be purchased for less
than the amount which his land
yielded per acre, and it seems that
this should be good enough prop
osition for anyone, for where can
any business be found which will
pay for itself in one year?
