to the Yellowstone river. The cost of
this tunnel is said to be more than $3.50
600. Between Lewiston and the Yellow
stone river the grading in Montana is
Is per cent completed. 1t is said to be
the plan of the Great Northern to
make this line the main for through
passenger service for the coast, it be-
ing something near $50 miles shorter
than the present main line.
The building of the New Rockford
Lewiston Great Northern will mean
something like 80 miles additionaT
railroad in Mclean county, and will
afford much needed railroad facilities
for portions of the county, especially
that part lying west of Garrison. At
present much of the western part of
the county has more than twenty miles
to market and developments have been
retarded due to distance of market.
We look for much development along
this line during the coming summer.
1t is also settled that the 500 will ex-
tend their line west from Plaza this
next season and will cross the Missouri
at the Black ranch near White Earth
on their way on to the Pacific coast.

Of color; no shade beneath which to rest
away from the beating August sun.

away from the beating August sun.
Instead great fields of stubble and a
gang plow freezing into the furrow for
its winters rest. Blotches of blackness
where the fires had burned the straw
piles; fires set by one who had thus
robbed himself of the harvests for years
to come. And he had robbed his fami-
lp of more; Children born to bare rooms,
bare prairies, scanty love and little of
life . gladness? His wife turned into a
beast of burden to feed his body and
bear his young! Nothing of beauty to
make their souls clean; nothing of COM
fort to repay the years of toll, Mo-
thing to make the mother cling to the
children when they grow weary of the
monotony and left the farm for the
city; nothing to color and shape the
souls of the children so that the city
might not burn them into ashes and
throw them into its slums; nothing,
when their dreams faded, to call them
back to larger living and better
life! ..
And he who had thus robbed his
family stood within the shelter of the
old battered shack, an old, broken
man., with not even a coat fit to shelter
his body from the bleak wind. Farm,
Stock and Home.

New Columns On Ballot

Enough votes were cast by the pro-
gressives and socialists so that both
will have a place on the official ballot
in 1914. The democratic party will
have the first column, next the progress
sives, then the republicans and fourth
the socialists.
Under the terms of the North Dako-
t. law governing the form Of ballots.
no party is permitted to have . full col
umn on the ballot unless it casts at
least Ave per cent Of the total vote
cast in the state for tho position Of
secretary of state. @
In the.recent election the socialists
and progressives have both. qualified
under that provision. Although the
socialists have. had full state tickets
several years, tits the first time that
they have secured the requisite number,
and two yearsf from now they viii be on
an equal footing with the repubiicans
and democrats 8 far - their places on
the ballot u concerned.

Fan Term OF Court
Adjourns Tomorrow
Many Cases viii be Left For the
New Judge to Try After the
First of the Year

District courtcOnvened Monday after
noon with Judge Winchester on the
bench. A recess had been taken over
the Thanksgiving holidays.
Tuesday morning the jury was en-
paneled in the case of State of North
Dakota VS.. George Zavolney, on the
charge of incest. Zavolney was found
guilty and Thursday morning received
sentence of two years in the state
penitentiary.
The criminal case following was state
of North Dakota VS.. Sam Varbetsky.
Defendant was charged with the en-
5ezzlement of a team of horses and
harness alleged to be the property of
Charley Sevich. Varbetsky is young
man thirty years of age. who has been
in this country ten years and is still
unable to understand the English
language. An interpreter had to be
used during the entire case. The jury
returned verdict of guilty and assess
sed the value of the property embezzled
at $500 which was about the value of
the harness alone.
Wednesday Mary Zavolney. cousin
of Geo. Zavolney was tried for unlaw-
ful co-habitation with George Zavolney.
These are the same parties involved in
the incest case. The jury took the case
for deliberation Wednesday evening
and brought in sealed verdict. Upon
opening of court Thursday morning, the
verdict was that of guilty. Sentence
will be passed Saturday morning. All
three of the above cases come from
Dogden and large number of Dogden
people were subpoenad here as wit
nesses.
Frank Schepsky of Max pleaded
guilty to the charge of burglary in the
third degree and was given one year in
the penitentiary- -he broke into the N.
C. Larson pool hall at Max in the night
time and stole about $500 worth of
chips and other property-John Lerri-
gan of Turtle Lake arrested on the
charge of seduction under promise of
marriage was arraigned in court Thurs
day morning. Lerrigan is victim Of
and the case was continued
over the term as he was apparently
unable, physically, to endure trial.
The case against Andrew Freeman
the Dogden farmer who was arrested
on instigation of Humane Officer Blake
last winter for failing and neglecting
to support his family, was dismissed.
Freeman has apparently reformed and
has learned severe lesson which will
no doubt cause him to provide better
for his family in the future. His
daughter, child about six
years old, was adopted by Miss Walck-
er of Dogden.
Otto Grosz plead guilty of embezzle-
ment and will be sentenced Saturday
Hs,ease was one that was
oN NEfrom the December 1911
term. He.wascharged with collecting
money for others and appropriating it
TO his own use.
One young man was served with
subpoena to serve on the jury. He re-
fused to go and bench warrant was
issued. Being unfamiliar with the law
he still refused to go to the court room
and be sworn in as juryman. There
Is doubt now whether he will ever re-
fuse again as the judge fined him $25
and one day in jail. His friends plead
I'd so hard that the Judge withdrew the
lay sentence.
A few of the 80 civil cases will be
tried before court adjourns Saturday

From the above table It will be seen
that the earliest closing date was No
vember 2, in 1873. and that the latest
date was December 10, in 1899.

Many Countries
Prepare For War
Switzerland, Greece, Russia and Nor
way are Storing Grain, HaY and
Coal In Case Of War

1t is stated that representatives of
the allied Balkan nations have acceded
to the request of the Turks that peace
negotiations take place at London.
Greece will be left to continue war
alone against Turkey if she desires.
Norway is said to be putting in a
large store of hay and coal, Switzer-
land is filling various military store
houses with wheat and corn ordered
from the United States and Canada in
for war.
The Russian government has ordered
572 carloads of grain from Rotterdam.
Thus many are preparing for what is
hoped will never take place.

Increase IN Wheat Exports

Increase IN Wheat Exports
Wheat exports from the United
States in 1912, will materially exceed
those of recent years. The record of
the 10 months now available in the
Statistical Division of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce in
dicates that the wheat exports of the
fullsIear will exceed 100 million bushels,
against 80 million in 1911 and 62 million
in 1910. The total for the 10 months
ended with October is 764 million BUSH
els, against 673 million in the corre-
spending months of last year. This
increase occurred chiefly in the new
crop, the September exports having
been II million bushels against 81 mil
lion in October of last year, the total
for the two months of September and
October of last year, the total for the
two months of September and October
thus being 81 million bushels, against
20 million in the same months of 1911.
Only about one fourth of the wheat
exported in October 1912 went in the
form of flour, while nearly two-thirds
Of that exported in October of last year
had been transformed into flour before
expectation. This contrast in the pro-
portion of the wheat which was turned
into flour before expectation is char
acteristic of the wheat export trade of
the United States. In those months or
years in which the wheat export trade
is heavy the proportion which is turned
into flour before expectation is small;
in those months or years in which the
expectation is light the share which is
turned into -four before expectation is
large. In the fiscal year 1911, when
only So million bushels of wheat were
66 per cent thereof was in the
form Of flour; while in 1903, when the
wheat exports aggregated 16s million
bushels, the share sent in the form of
-four was but 50 per cent.
While the wheat exports of 1912 will
show larger totals than in Immediately
proceeding year, those Of corn and
meats show q decline. Figures compiled
by the Statistical Division of the Bu-
reau Of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce indicate that the exports of
corn in 1912 will be but about half
those of 1911, the total for the 10
months ending with October being 26
million bushels, against 5S1 million in
the same months Of last year. Meat
exports also show a marked decline in
1912 compared with 1911. The quantity
Of fresh beef exported in the 10 months
ended with October was less than 8
million pounds, against 26 million in the
same months of 1911; of picked beef,
q million pounds, as against 36 million
in the corresponding period oflast year;
Of lard, 895 million pounds, against $50
million; and Of five cattle, 2.16O head,
against 1l0, 1928 in the same months Of
last year. Cotton, however shows an
increase Of about 40 million dollars over
the corresponding months Of last year
and cotton-seed oil also slight in
crease, the export figures being for
cotton, ~ million dollars in the 10
months ending with October, against
