The regular meeting OF the Fargo
Trades & Labor assembly was held
last night in the Assembly hall with
a fair attendance of delegates. Bust
ness of Importance was up for con-
sideration, the principal thing being
the new ordinance presented by the
plumbers which the assembly endorsed
and considered one of the most i'm
portant measures that will come be-
fore the council for consideration on
Monday night.
Every family in the city should
be in favor of this measure" said a
member Of the building trades last
night, "as the health of all is con-
cerned. The, plumbing done in this
city is of the hit and miss order and
no city regulations are in force gov
erning the same. This is a disgrace
to the city and one can never tell
when n is liable to be affected by
sewer gas. In some of the biggest
buildings in the city one can stand
IN the roof and throw a bushel of
beans into the pipes and they will
all find holes to come out"
The officers were elected and in adj
ditton to the list given above the fol-
lowing were chosen to constitute the
board of directors: Louis Horwitz.
G. A. Fraser, Martin Redman, George
Kelso and Frank Skieton.
The committee on Labor day is
making Roadway and hopes to have
a programme ready shortly. All the
trades report work as fairly good and
no idle card men in the city.

NORTH DAKOTA HAD REAL

grown products, helps to
the state live stock industry.
Great Interest in Live Stock.
AS usual, the largest classes among
the breeds of horses were the Percher-
n and Clydesdales. While other
breeds were represented, the showing
was small. Here, as in the cattle
classes, great liberaIity was shown,
and over $4,000 was distributed among
the exhibits. The splendid showing in
Percherons was certainly an improve
ment over last year. At last years
state fair, the Percherons were con-
spicuous by their absence. The horse
breeding has been fostered and is
steadily increasing throughout the
state. Even though much lis being
done in tractor farming, the increase
in horses grows from year TO year.
Conditions are right, and there is no
reason why years to come will not see
even a greater growth.
In the swine department, the old re-
liable Poland China held the fort. The
Yorkshires, or bacon hogs, made a
good showing. The tendency has been
toward an increase in this class. 1t is
remarkable though, how the large hog
still holds sway In this grain country.
With the increase each yea La the
corr acreage, the hog industry bids
FAIR to become quite g. factor in the
state. Not all classes were filled, but
the pro rata Of the $4,000 was distrib-
uted among the exhibitors. The
Shropshire sheep, the farmers dual
purpose breed, were la the lead in the
sheep department.. All classes of farm
animals were in better condition than
the previous year. The splendid con-
dition of crops is largely to blame for
this. 1t lis an encouragement and in
SEPARATION to anyone to see the wonder
full development from year to year in
the live stock. This state Is well
adapted to live stock growing. and the
coming years will tell to what proper
lions 1t will grow.
Poultry growing has attracted much
attention in North Dakota the past
few years. Poultry fanciers from all
parts of the state were On hand. Pos
sibIy the ease with which the birds
can be shipped is al incentive to at
tend the fair. Various breeds were
represented in good form. Again the
fairs association showed Iiberality and
placed $1,400 for distribution among
the poultry men. Ralph Whitney of
Rochester, Mimi, did, a very ~satisfac-
tory Job OF judging all poultry classes.
The poultry exhibit lis practically a
side show compared with the annual
poultry meeting in the winter. This
exclusive poultry in the winter time
brings out all the birds in the state.
For the past few years tractor farm
ing has attracted considerable atten-
tion in this great prairie state, and the
tractor exhibition WIS a feature OF the
fair. Demonstrations In blowing and
threshing were operated throughout
the week. The blowing was held nea
the fair grounds. and the wagons con-
yeying interested people were on the

Right Of Way Agent Secures All But
a Few Acres.
Shafer, N. D., Aug. 3.-Aside from
a few acres or the farms of two or
three persons, Cool. ]. D. Hull, the
Great Northern r~ight-of-way agent,
has completed the purchase Of the
r~ight-of-way through Billings county
from the Missouri river on the east, to
the Yellowstone river on the west.
The distance is approximately 100
miles, over half Of which is in deed
ed land. Practically all of the land
over which the survey passes, Cherry
creek down the Little Missouri river
to its mouth, is owned by the govern
rnent and the Indians on the Berthold
reservation.
In most instances where a clear
title could be given, the purchase price
has already been paid over. other
tracts on deed land are being held
or contracts awaiting the partial re-
lease of mortgages. ..
Unless the parties who are now
holding out for what the railway com
pany considers exorbitant prices for
the land needed, condemnation suits
will be filed at an early date. The
average cost of the land already pur-
chased through the county is between
SO and $12 per acre.
As Colonel Hull has only been in
the county about three weeks he has
established a record in purchasing the
T~ight-of-way between the rivers. It
was necessary to visit and bargain with
more than fifty property wners.

WORKMEN'S BILL

MASSACHUSETTS WoRkMEN's
COMPENSATION ACT BECAME
EFFECTIVE JULY 1-EMPLoY-
ERs NOTIFY, LABOR BUREAU
OF ACCEPTANCE OF LAW.

Boston, Aug. 3.-The Workmens'
compensation act of Massachusetts,
became effective July /. The industrial
accident board then opened it's Office
for business. Since that time the Of
fee has received notices from 1000 m
ployers of acceptance Of the act.
The notices come from all sections
Of the city. Accident reports under the
new law are being received by the
board at the rate of 200 a day. The
first test a. to be decided will be
passed upon by the board shortly. 1t
is expected this case will serve as a
precedent. 1t is already evident that
the new law is sure to prove of i'm
tense advantage to the workers in
Massachusetts,.
Under the old liability law and the
common law practice Of allowing the
defense Of assumption of risk" fell
low servant doctrine" ''contributory
negligence" etc., there would have
been but little chance for relatives to
have obtained damages in most of the
fatal accidents now in the hands of
the accident board, and taking the past
experience in cases of temporary and
permanent injuries still smaller num-
Der would have been granted any dam
ages at all, but, under the new auto
matte compensation law benefits will
be paid in each instance.

go all the time. The value of these
demonstrations Is evident. Here the
farmer or thresherman, is able to see
under actual farm conditions what a
machine will do. When we stop to
consider how recently tractor farming
began, the progress that has been
made is marvellous,
The exhibit OF home industries and
products ELECTED the usual amount of
attention. The display showed some
Improvement and advancement over
last year. The horticultural display is
always small, but there is a gradual
increase in the number OF fruits and
trees for North Dakota prairies. 1t is
9 revelation to many to know that
frult can really be grown in North Da-
kota. The culinary and needIework
kept the lady visitors busy and owe
$1,000 was distributed as premium
money in this division.
The dairy products and dairy cow
production contest attracted much att
tention. The dairy industry a few
years ago, was scarcely worthy of
mention. At the present time the
dairy show at this fair is worthy of
comment. The COWS that went into
the economy butter fat contest, were a
splendid lot. This test, together with
the state classes for live stock is being
made a feature OF the fair. The closed
state classes are always an ~inducen1ent
to the breeder who is not fitting a show
herd for the circuit. In this he Is in
competition only with state breeders.
The influence of this could be readily
seen in this years show.
A great deal of interest was shown
in the educational side of the fair.
The tendency to hurry through was not
so noticeable. In most S there
was a tendency to stop and absorb
what there was to be learned. IT Is hi
no means the man alone who exhibits
the stock that gets the most out of 1t.

The Orange Judd Northwest Farm
stead has the following excellent re-
sumo and appreciation Of the North
Dakota state fair:
Fargo and Fargoans have had on
their gala. dress the past week. They
have been celebrating the great North
Dakota state fair. The fair was all
that the association claimed for 1t. 1t
vas truly bigger and better han ev-
er." While the grain exhibits were
not what they would have been, had
the fair been held a month later, yet
they were an improvement over last
years show. The live stock exhibit
was large and of a very high class.
The large appropriations In the vari-
Gus classes attracted breeders from
outside the state In numbers.
The North Dakota people are noted
for doing things, and their hospitality
was not lacking on this occasion. Ev-
cry courtesy that could be asked for
was extended by the fair association.
A large crowd from ali over the state
was welcomed and entertained in the
best manne hat the city affords. The
splendid crop now in sight made 1t
possible for a much larger attendance

that is being done in their great state.
