DARING ROBBER
MADE ESCAPE


Portal, N. d., Feb. % Probably the
most daring robbery in the history of
this section of the state occurred here
at noon when an unknown burglar
entered the jewelry store of G. B..
Briggs and secured $50 in cash and in
addition to a number of second hand
watches. Entrance was gained to the
store by breaking through the side
window, while the proprietor was at
dinner. Occurring during the noon
hour as it did, in broad day light, at
a time when there were many people
on the streets and the curtains ii the
front windows of the store raised, the
robbery is considered one of the bold
est in the annals of this section OF the
state. Just how the fellow could so
successfully conceal his work and
then make his escape is a mystery.
No clue has been obtained as to the
identity Of the guilty party.

The Drayton bankers plans for the
future were well laid. In the city Of
Winnipeg he had made extensive pur-
chases Of real estate in anticipation
of the great. exposition which is to
be held there in a few years. He had
proposed to dispose Of his holdings
during the present year, thus being
out of the market by the time the att
er-fair slump came.
It had been generally supposed that
the Drayton banker had left d viii

document is in existence, hence the
division Of the estate will be made
according to law.
There are two daughters, a son and
the widow who are the direct heirs.

that reason probably viii be made adj

WILL Be TESTED
EDITOR RAISES A POINT AGAINST
The CORRUPT PRACTICE
ACT.

Valley City, N. D., Feb. 27.-Tne
constitutionality Of the North Dakota
corrupt practice act will be tested in
the courts. The law reads that news
papers shall charge no more than the
states legal rate for political an
n~ouncements, which is Z cents a line
for the first insertion and 4 cents a
line thereafter.
G. NJ. B%rinton, editor of The Fes-
sender Free Press, who is carrying
the matter to the courts. contends that
in many cases the regular rates of
the newspapers is far in excess of this
charge and that the legislators had
no right to compel a publisher to fix a
rate that would compel a publisher
to charge a politician less than he
charged a business house. The aver
age rate for reading notices In North
Dakota papers il nearly double the
legal rate.

Dairy Commissioners Flint and
Pierce no more than get one dairy
meeting out of the way than another
appears. Just now they are planning
arrangements for a series of dairy
meetings that will last two weeks up
and down the 500 line. 1--WE are GO
ing right into the heart of the coun-
try said Mr.. Flint, where farmers
heretofore have had an idea that It
was unnecessary to milk cows, John
Christianson, a well know dairyman at
New Salem, will also attend these
meetings and take ar active part. "The
publicity given the recent dairymen's
convention at Mandan," said Mr.. Flint,
has created a demand foR similar
meetings all over the state. in fact
that there are more meetings desired
than we can take care of, and / think
that thereafter in place of holding one
main dairy convention we will ar
range for a series of them to be held
around the state" Mr.. Flint also said
his department was constantly receiv-
ing requests for information egarding
the construction of silos, not only from
farmers altogether. but from a large
number Of business men as well.
