BURLEIGH TO PAY
GOPHER BOUNTY

Bismarck, N. d, April 3.-Com-
mencing April 1, Burleigh county off,
Gals r going to pay a bounty of
l cent for each gopher tail brought
in to the proper authorities. A tax for
that purpose was levied by the board
Of county commissioners. The bounty
will bestpaid during April and May,
and possibly during a portion of June,
depending largely upon the amount
of bounty money remaining. 1t is ex-
pected that a great many of these
pests will be destroyed this spring.
County Aud. T. E. Flaherty is busy
sending out certificates to the various
township clerks who are authorized to
accept gopher tails and make out
warrants for the bounties thereon.
The statute regulating the payment
of bounties provides that the tail and
a strip from the back be brought in
to the authorities. Already several
gophers have been seen and some of
the young fellows throughout the
county have been laying up a supply
OF gopher tails. Bounty money will
be paid only upon gophers killed
within the county.

CLUBS JOINING
STATE FEDERATION
COMMERCIAL BODIES IN SEVER
Al CITIES SEE ADvAN-
TAGEs OF oRGANl-
ZATIoN.

Grand Forks, NJ. d., April 3.-That
the North Dakota Federation of Com
mercial clubs is being appreciated by
the various clubs about the state was
shown Monday when Pres. e. ].
Lander opened his mail and found that
four more clubs had been added to
ing hands to better conditions in gen
eral over the state.
The new members OF the federation
are the Fargo, Glenburn, Coulee and
Fordville clubs.
The first club to join the federation
this year was the Lansford organiza-
ton. Eight clubs have taken out 1912
memberships and the main effort Of
tho federation this year viii be to in
crease the membership and bring as
many clubs as possible into the fold.
The clubs that have become members
Of the federation since the annual
meeting in this city recently are Grand
Forks, Fargo, Lankin, Inkster. Lans-
ford, Fordville. Glenburn and Coulee.
That the clubs are already assisting
each other and the various towns rep
resented in a small way is indicated
in a letter from the secretary of the
Lansrord club, Will e. Holbein.
The Lansford organization wrote to
the Grand Forks club for information
regarding the problem Of securing
farm laborers. The required informa-
ton was given and the following let
ter was received from Secretary Hol-
bein.
"The federation worked out fine,
and 1 am sure that every member of
the Lansford Commercial club will
realize this after the monthly meeting
Monday"
All Of the clubs that are now mem
bers of the federation have Joined the
state organization without solicitation
and voluntarily.
President Lander is enthusiastic
over the work of the federation, which
really is the outcome of a meeting of
wholesale grocers in Minot about a
year ago. This morning Mr.. Lander
said:
THE principal effort Of the fedora
ton this e IA will be to increase the
membership. We want all the clubs
in the state to join and have a strong
organization that can carry on work
Of vast Importance to North Dakota.
The way the clubs have been coming
in Of their own accord indicates that
the members of the various organiza-
lions are interested. A little later /
think it will be we'll for the federated
clubs to look into the advertising
proposition thoroughly. Even though
each club paid out only IS in judicious
publicity, the returns would more than
make up for the expenditure and thou
sands CT persons would come into
closer touch with North Dakota and
the stats many advantages and OPP
portunities."

Minot Reporter: Minot, N. D., March
30.-The Honorable Andrew Miller. At
torncy General. My Dear Generals
Sec. 8, chapter 129, laws of 1911, N. d.,
provides that mo person shall in order
to aid or promote his nomination di-
rectly or indirectly promise to secure
OF aid in securing the nomination of
another person, etc"
In your opinion does the statue for
bid any two or more candidates or a
set of candidates cooperating and
circulating cards or tickets Of the So
called slate order with their names
and offices sought thereon and when
such candidates are jointly c~ontribut-
ing to the expenses thereof, either in
a direct or indirect manner. / appre-
bend that here Is no question but what
this statute does away with the old
system Of establishing Headquarters
for any OF the various sets of candi-
dates, but does the statute forbid the
circulating of a printed ticket or slate
when the candidates have in any direct
or indirect mi jointly contributed
towards the expenses thereof. Your
early opinion on this most important
matter is earnestly desired. III is a
matter of vital interest not only to all
those candidates who desire to live up
to the spirit of the law but also TO the
voters of the state. / have the honor
to to remain, Very respectfully,

UNITE IN BUYING
l.. FARM PRODUCE
MERCHANTS AND FARMERS or
PARAMOUNT ADOPT co.oPERA-
TIVE PLAN WITH SUCCESS

Paramount, N. d.. April 3.-Business
and professional men Of Paramount
have formed a cooperative exchange
for the purpose of handling under one
management, butter, eggs, cream and
all kinds of farm produce.
The new plan is working out adj
mirably and after being in operation
two weeks practically all opposition
to it has been withdrawn. Farmers
are pa~tronizing it literally and are
enthusiastic owe it's future.
Under the system none Of the mer-
chants belonging to the company, and
who formerly did a big business in
butter, eggs, cream and poultry, is al
lowed to handle these commodities
either directly or indirectly, under a
penalty of $50 fine, although they still
share in the business resulting from
the exchange of farm produce.
The farmer brings in his products
to the exchange. The manager, in
payment, gives him one. of the COM
pany's checks for the amount due, and
the holder can go wherever he chooses
and purchase his goods.
The company has a coinage OF
aluminium money, so that a customer
not wishing to trade out the whole
amount of his check in one place or
at one time, can get his change in the
equivalent Of real money and that
money is good in turn at the place
of business of any other member OF the
company.
The system is calculated to make a
better and larger market for farm
produce Of all kinds, centralizing the
business n dealing in large quanti-
ties. There are twelve stockholders in
the company, of which B. w. Schon-
weller is president, w. H. Cox, treasur-
er and w. c. MouIton, secretary.
