A BOOK WITH NO MISTAKES.

A London publisher once determin-
ed to publish at least one book which
should be faultless in the matter of
errata He had the, proofs corrected
by his own proofreaders with the
greatest care until they had exhaust
ed their skill and patience, and as
sured him that there were no longer
any errors to be eliminated. Taking
duplicate proofs of the last revise, he
sent them to the universities and 9th
er large publishing houses, offering
large money prizes for each error dis
covered A few errors only were found,
and after every one had a chance to
detect any additional errors the plates
were made, the book printed, expen-
sively bound and sold as an absolutely
perfect book, and unique in all liter
ature. For long time this was con-
coded, but six or eight months after
it's publication letter cared the pub
lisher's attention to an error in a Ger,

was announced and before the first
year had elapsed some four or five

"DRY" VICTORY.
A. d. Fowler of Hardin, went to
Alton recently to have a crop of hair
and beard of thirty years growing
cut off. Fowler stated that thirty
years ago he made solemn vow that
he would never shave again or have
his hair cut until the fair city of Har-

the curse of liquor, says the st. Louis

For all these thirty years the vets
have consistently carried all of the
elections, although Fowler made a
hard fight, he states, to save his lit

At the recent election Hardin went
dry and the saloons were closed for
the first time in thirty years.

VANDEN0EVER PROM
Uses BETTER ROADS
Candidate for County Commissioner
Gives Some Pointers That Ought to
Be Considered by Tax Payers.

TO the Editor of the Independent
We noticed several items that an.
feared in our Minot papers, one in
iegard to the selling of the county
hospital by our county commission
ers. Some seem to think that the
people of Ward county wanted a coun.
ty hospital and built one sometime
ago for place to keep the county
patients, and also a place for unfor.
tunate persons. It does seem at
this time, as there are several Of our
county commissioners just at the end
Of their term and so near the fall
election, that they might better have
left that to vote Of the people Ct
Ward county who built it, than to
use their own personal views on this
matter. But as some boast of their
excellent record, perhaps the CON-
missioners know best, altho some OF

in opinion on this matter. Let us 30
hack nearer to the beginning Of their
term, say during the year 1910. We
noticed when the assessors books #
Minot were handed in to the county
board of equalization that our conf
missioner, Mr.. Hurd, was not pres
ent at any time during the equalizlng
of the county for that year, but was
in Montana. Now, 1t certainly was
very important for Mr.. Hurd to have
been there to see that Minot would

noticed not many years ago that the
commissioners of Ward county saw fit
to bridge the Des Laos lake for the
benefit Of few farmers to get tn
Bowbells and at the cost Of about
$4,000 to our county. Now, what
have our commissioners done to make
the roads passable to get into Minot?
Our city board has donated more than
cnce and also our Commercial club to
letter the condition of the roads on

remark that Is per cent Of the grain

only informed by the state board. that
this was a matter for the county
board of equalization to attend to, and
especially the man from our dist1ist

Mr.. Hurd and some of the other
county commissioners appeared b.
fore the city with the petitions Of
about 10 Taxpayers of Minot asking to
have their tares atateu and to have
the city board ratify the same. But
the city board, all objected to this
matter Of having a few chosen hav.

rest Of Minot take care Of itself. But
the commissioners determined to do
this. 1t was made q court matter. aud

Your readers, if they have anything
coming from you, are entitled to
facts, and the half truths that have
been told are no better than lies. For
instance, you state that in 1909 and
1910 l drew 1880 in mileage and
made 4l2 visits. The facts are, how.
ever, that I personally drew $1.394. 90
during that year and there were made

it did not leave a cent Of profit for
them. The expense of each school
visit in this county is no higher than
in several other counties of the state
and the other counties are smaller
