Hazelton Republican,: It's only in
North Dakota, or perhaps the Klon-
dyke, that people would think Of 60
ing out for sleigh ride in the kind
of weather that the dispenser was
dishing up last Thursday evening, but
people here are used to 20 below
weather with a high wind accompani-
ment and on the evening in question
Mr.. and Mrs. Crawford had prepared
to entertain the Nula club, but things
without looked dubious. However, by
some rustling round folks over town
got together a crowd sufficient to play
at three tables and hitched up team
to convey them to the destination.
The distance being only a matter of
a few blocks the sleighride was quite
enjoyable and once within doors all
thought of the weather mans cruelty
was put aside while the guests Set
tied down to enjoy the hospitality of
the host and hostess and freddy
game.

west of the Missouri are situated, are
% and q per cent respectively be.
low the state average in number of
farms mortgaged, and three and four
per cent respectively below the state
average in amount Of mortgage per
farm. Neither Morton nor Oliver
county is of recent settlement, so
this favorable condition can hardly
be attributed to the preponderance
of homestead land upon which proof
has not yet been made, and it would
seem only fair to presume that the
cream can be credited with at least
a portion Of the comfortable circum-
stances in which the average farmer
in these counties finds himself.
Significant also is the fact which
further study of the federal Stats
tics disoloses, viz, that where the
mortgage Indebtedness is largest
there. and in inverse proportion, is
the creamery most conspicuous by
it's absence. There are six counties
in which 70 per cent or more of the
farms are encountered with mort
cages. Two of these contain one
creamery each; the other four
none. In the 81 counties wherein
60 per cent or more of the farms are
under mortgage conditions are some
what better, there being an average
of slightly over one creamery to
each county; a poor showing, at the
best. especially when the large area
of North Dakota counties and their
exceptional suitability for the best
development of dairying are taken
into consideration.
The moral Of this brief analysis is
plain and unmistakable. 1t points
unerringly to the growing and insis-
tent need for a greater diversified
ton in the agricultural industry. es-
pecially and principally in dairying
and it's allied occupations.

work upon the guilty man through
the power of conscience; it will turn
his eyes upon his own soul and work
that moral regeneration which is
thing to be sought for. Thus there
grew up the great romantic tradition
of the murderer who is haunted by
the material wrath of his victim. or
is driven to confession by the furies
of remorse. 1t is not necessary to
enter into the details Of completely
worked out scheme of spiritual retrl-
button. We catch echoes Of it In the
news of the present day. A murderer
is arrested at the scene OF his crime
to which he has been i.resistibly at
tractsd. The McNamaras confess be-
cause. according to one of the broth
ers, he could not sleep. The tradition
goes back to Macbeth's shadoWy
dagger and beyond. 1t is a theory
that peases in it's comprehensiveness.
1t asserts that murder is not always
murder, as the laws of man would
make it; but when it is that the laws
of mai are not necessary for its expi-
alton. Nature will attend to that,
through ways of her own.
But here again the four confessions
we have been discussing speak loudly
in behalf of common sense as against
fancy. If conscience had driven these
men to confess their guilt, why should
conscience have waited until society,
through it's policemen and it's man
made laws, had drawn a formidable
net about them, a with the McNa-
maras and Richeson, or had actually
passed on the accused mans fate, as
with young Beattie? 1t would be ab-
surd to say that conscience no longer
operates in men, or that murder has
lost it's power to turn the soul back
upon itself in unquestioning horror.
But there are exceptions, and unfor
tunately it is the exceptions with
whom the courts have to DEAL Beat

wife out of doors and done her to
death in the most cold blooded fash
ion. The next morning he sits on the
veranda of his home, a bottle OF
beer at his elbow, and discusses the
fate of the woman whose body Is
being prepared for burial upstairs. Il
am sorry it happened" he tells his
cousin, as if it were of lost purse
or a broken engagement. Modern
science has any number of names to
describe nature like Beattie's. He
may be a defective, or victim OF
neurosis, or a reversion to type. The
important fact, however, is that he

STORY OF THE MORTGAGES.
Fine Showing BY Ten Counties
West of Missouri is
Notieeable


A study of the recently published
federal statistics relating to farm
mortgages in North Dakota reveals
some interesting facts concerning
the financial affairs Of our state.
Of the 1922 farms in North Da-
kota 31,727, or trifle over fifty per
cent. are mortgaged to the extent OF
a state average of 22.4 per cent OF
the value of their lands and build
;ngs. This in itself is no excessive
burden, and simply seems to 1ndi'
cate in a general way the legitimate
use of an established credit, con-
servatively financed by our banking
institutions, partly doubtless for the
purpose of building and equipment
betterment, but also, and to great
err extent, for the requirement OF ad'
ditional holdings, which latter fact
seems to be proven by the increased
size of the average farm, as COM
pared with ten years ago.
Very noticeable is the fine showing
made by the ten counties situated
west of the Missouri river, and
where agricultural development has
been most active during the past de-
cade. In this area only 1913 per
cent of the farms are mortgaged, as
compared with the average OF the
state as a whole of 5O.19 per cent,
and only to the extent of 1877 per
cent Of the value of their lands and
buildings, compared with 22.4 per
cent for the whole state and OF
course a yet higher percentage N
both instances for the counties east
of the Missouri river.
Several causes probably contribute
in creating these conditions. 1t Is
in this section of the state that most
of the farms held under the govern
ment homestead act are situated, and
of course these cannot be mortgaged
until patent is secured. In this con-
nection it is encouraging to note that
final proof nowadays means the pos
session of an unencumbered asset OF
100 acres of land worth from $40 to
$25 per acre, according to the same
federal authority. This means a
borrowing power. based upon a fig
ure equal to one third of the aver
age value of the land. or about $3.50
per acre, or over 5000 to the quarter
section. When compared with the
lot of the early pioneer of the sos in
this respect, the standing of the
ns-Missouri farmer of today Is
vastly stronger. for his credit and
borrowing power constitute an add
tional bulwark against bad seasons
and possible crop failures.
Another potent factor west OF the
Missouri river in producing the low
percentage of mortgage Indebtedness
is the very much higher development
of the creamery industry in these
parts as compared with the rest OF
the state. Morton and oliver coun'

Curbstone

There We're several men standing
in an Office in Mandan a few days
ago. Several of them were from the
earliest days in the state and had
been in the country when the Indian
and buffalo roamed at wild over a
great portion of what is now North
Dakota, and more particularly west
ern or Slope country. They were
telling Of the various hardships,
pleasures and ordinary occurrences of
those times when one of the group
turned to the Eystander and std.
"You possibly have heard of the
wealth that is buried in one of the
buttes near Glen Ullen?"
To the answer that at times he
had heard Of this buried treasure,
the first speaker went on. 1T was
away back in the early days of the
old indians trails and ranches It
was sometime before the railroads
had poked their noses into the coun'
try hereabout and before Uncle Sam
uel had definitely marked out the his
tory of this state.
1--WE were situated in the country
near the Knife river" he continued
when word was brought to us that
a small detachment of soldiers con-
voying a paymaster for the govern
ment had been held up. massacred
or something of the kind and the
large sum of money, about $4,000
was stolen and hidden in a high hill
in SIGHT of three high hills to the
south. That was all the information
that we could obtain Of the raid.
Men from the ranches were out IN
S arch of the supposed robbers or
Indians. but no trace could be found
Continued the narrator, "and for
many years the people thought the
robbers made clean getaway. This
however seems to have been entirely
a mistake for within the last three
years. an elderly man, supposed to
have been one of the party who COM
posed the band of marauders, bring
ing with him little boy, spent a
greater part OF one summer trying to
locate the hidden treasure.
when questioned about the rob-
berry he would give some ~indefinite
reply and turn the conversation. He
was willing to admit he was in search
of the gold and that it was as he
could recolIect it had been hidden in
the very high butte just east of where
Glen U1lin now is situated. More
than this and the amount of the treas
ure, or where he secured his infor-
nation, he would give no reply" con-
cluded the old rancher
In addition to the above account
the Bystander has not and talked
with a number of the people who saw
the old man and the story he told
when making the search for the treas
ure was substantially as told by the
rancher.
No one in recent years has made
any effort to trace the authenticity OF
the tale of the robbery but it is gen.
orally accepted as true and took place
sometime in the early seventies, and
as tradition has It, in the fall OFF, or
winter of 49,

srocKwELL HAS REHEARiNe.
Case Will Be Up For Another Argu
nnent Last of this Month.

The next case on the calendar OF
the supreme court for argument Is
the rehearing of the Stockwell case
which is set for January 30 in which
he appears as defendant with the
state of North Dakota as plaintiff,
and in which he WI; once defeated,
being ordered to pay over $4,000 fees
collected by the tate superintend-
ent's office and alleged to have been
retained by him Illegally.
The decision of the court by which
he was ordered to make such pay
ment was divided, being three to
two, and when the application for a
rehearing was made, 1t was granted.
One of the interesting features In
connection with the coming argu-
ments, which wifi be made during
the latter part of the present month,
is the fact that Justice Bruce will
be on the bench instead of Justice
Morgan. Justice Morgan decided
with the majority in the opinion
against Mr. Stockwell.
Originally, it was tried In tie
Grand Forks district court. and IN
that court Judge Templeton held
against Mr.. Stockwell, contending
that all fees paid into the office shall
be accounted for to the state treas
urer. The defense contends that the
law makers intended that the fees IN
question should 60 to the super1n-
tendent Cor USE by him. in the ex-

Mr.. Gilbreath is sending letter
to all the county auditors calling
their attention to the fact that it Will
soon be time for the assessors to call
fer their supplies which will include
blanks and books for the purpose OF
writing applications for this state
hail insurance, and he desires that
the auditors specify just how many
blanks and books will be needed in
each county. He also believes that
the farmers of the state are well
pleased with the showing made last
year, and hopes the auditors will do
all they can the coming year in the
way of cooperation, and thus help
make the state hail insurance de"
partment the success it was intend
ed. Although it was impossible to
pay all losses in full Mr.. Gilbreath
has the satisfaction of knowing that
the farmers received more from the
state hail insurance company for the
amount invested than was paid by
any other company. If the county
auditors will aid and use their influ-
ence with the assessors there Is no
reason why large volume OF bust
ness cannot be secured next year
from all parts of the state.
