Dakota, October 1911 term:
The state of North Dakota on rela-
ton of the county of Mountrail, Ed.
schulenburg, E. H. Gaulke and John
Berg as individuals and as the board
Of county commissioners of said
county of Mountrail, plaintiffs vs..
Arne Amundson, Ralph Abbott. Jens

Ward county and at the meeting of the
county commissioners of both counties
pursuant to Sec. 1886, r. G. 1905, for
the purpose Of effecting q settlement
between the counties of the indebted
ness and property therein, a Disagree
ment arose as to the proper construc-
tion Of said statute, the Mountraii
county commissioners contendlng that
the bonds given or money paid by
Ward county for roads and bridges
remaining within such original coun-
ty should be deducted from the total
Indebtedness thereof upon the ground
that such roads and bridges consti-
tute public property owned by the
county within the meaning of sub
division 2 of said section. on the 9TH
err hand. the commissioners of Ward
county deny that they should be
charged with the cost of such roads
and bridges, and contend that the cost
of record books purchased by the old
county for use in its various county
Offices should not be charged to it.
They also contend that in such ac-
counting ana settlement Ward county
should not be charged for n public
property owned by it except on the
basis of its actual value.
Held, constituting said section, that
neither Of such contentious are corr
rect and that the trial court properly
held that the roads and bridges do not
constitute public property owned by

BOOST FoR FARGO.

Z The presidential preference prima-
ries are over. The Billy Sunday rue
ton has been settled. Some definite
Conclusions have been reached as to
the paving contracts. With these re.
cent events now somewhat shelved-
why not devote more attention to
boosting the city Of Fargo?
The Forum has called attention to
the fact that Fargo is not keeping
pace / n growth with the state Of North
Dakota. Why not catch up with the
procession?
Fargo has increased in population
md development each year-but the
progress has been too slow. The city's
liver may be a trifie torpid. Now is the
time for the civic and municipal doc
tors to give the patient a thorough di-
agnosis. II heroic treatment is re-
CURED it should be promptly admin
istered.
aThe indications are that North Da-
Eota will grow and develop more this
year than aver before. It's up to Far
go, not only to make UP for lost time,
but to hustle lively to keep up the
pace for the future.

( The activity Of the presidential
candidates is attracting considerable
attention-and like most things else
there is a difference of opinion as to
the matter. ........ ....
There are the Old-fashioned people
who still prefer to see the office seek
the II crates upon them to see
a candidate for the presidency endeav-
oring to secure votes by the same
methods as used by a ward alderman.
They think it detracts from the dig
nifty OF the position--and cheapens the

lean people.
Then there are those who like to see
the presidential candidates hustIing.
They like to shake them by the hand
and hear their voices. They take the
position that anything that is worth
having is worth asking for-and be-
lieve it is all right for a presidential,
candidate to chase around over the
country and make hysterical orator.

Both sides have some justification

CENTRAL MARKET.

Members Of the New York food in
yestigating committee expect to trace
a large share Of the high cost of liv-
ing Il the fact that there are in that
city too many retail dealers in food
products. 1t is not exactly a novel
Suggestion. The secretary Of agri-
culture has furnished statistics to
show that ar extravagantly large
share of the retail price of food prod
ucts is absorbed between the producer
and consumer.
But going into details, the committee
has found that there are $4,000 retail
dealers in food products in New York
while perhr 5000 would be enough
to supply the -eds OF the inhabitants
Of that city. At that, it is probable
that the number Of retailers in pro-
portion to population is smaller in
View York than in many other cities.
2The trusts are currently credited with
hayin~ contributed greatly toward the
enhanced cost, but now comes this
committee and faces squarely in the
opposite direction with it's conclusions,
1t probably depends largely upon what
the exact definition Of a trust" may
be-and also upon the manner in
which the trust works.
: Fargoans have given the matter con
siderable attention and are convinced
that a central market is the solution
OF local food problems-and their

THE APPEAL THAT COUNTS.

The back to the land cry is largely
an appeal to patriotism. 1t m for
the most part from ell-intentioned
people who are not themselves con-
nected with the soil-but who foresee
a real national tragedy in the alarm
ing desertIon Of the rural districts for
the cities.
The appeal, though, that will count
in the end is the perfectly practical
appeal Of gaining a living. The stom-
ach will be the orator whose eloquence
will be most telling.
High prices will be endured, uncer-
tainty of employment will be more
pronounced, the urban problems will
be more vexatious-before any decided
movement toward the country will
make itself apparent in the ensus re-
turns. That the farm provides a better
living than most city dwellers enjoy
is readily admitted by city residents.
They have been told it often enough.
That the country is the place for rails
ing sturdy, independent, resourceful
and brave citizens is beyond dispute.
But neither the prospect for better in
come nor the desire to do better by the
children will influence men to revolu-
tionize their ways Of working and
ways of living.
1t is when the question Of making a
living-good or bad-becomes vital
that the pendulum Will swing back.
The stomach Will decide.

flKSLODGf OF SORROW
LOCAL HUNTERS WE'RE QUITE
SUCCESSFUL- ACCIDENTS
TO COUNTY RESIDENTS

With the advent of December three
hunting seasons have come to an end
and from now until the opening of the
season again, September next, the en-
thusiasts in that branch of sport will
have to content themselves with shoot
ing elusive rodent. Chicken season
which opened September 7, closed
November Z. The open season for
partridges, ruffled grouse, pheasant
and quail is from October to November
80. The closing date Of the season for
water fowls is November 80. Large
game hunting season which is opened
on November 10, was also closed last
Saturday.
A period of Is days in which to
carry their game to a shipping point
and have it shipped to their homes is
given to the hunters, but after Decem-
Der Is no shipments of game can be
received by the railroad companies.
During the big game season that has
Just come to q close IT'S hunting
licenses were issued from the office Of
the county auditor. OF those who took
trip after game several succeeded in
shooting deer, but Peter Carney was
the only resident Of this city who got
tho limit, which is one deer and one
moose.
Not the most trivial accident occurred
to any of the local hunters and even
in the whole county no accidents have
been reported.
Many deer which were wounded and
could not be traced because Of lack Of
snow, are reported to have been found
dead later.
