$4,000 Item First Taken Up.
Only a few witnesses will be sum
moned by the state for the grand jury

Parker admits that his shortage Is
from $4,000 to $4,000. He has de-
clared that he did not take any of the

[ANSFORO CLUB IS
DOING GOOD WORK
Many Activities of CONNER
cial Organization There
Depict Progress.

Lansford. N. D.. Dec. 5.-Contrary
people the I.ansford Commercial club
Is taking its riEhtful place among
the organizations Of this character
throughout: the state. and it, influ-
ence Is, being felt in no uncertain
manner. says the I.ansford Journal.
II might be well to cite a few of
the accomplishments Of the organ
ization since its inception. These
accompliBhulents. have already re-
bounded. to the benefit Of the entire
community.
One of the first things that was
called to. the attention Of the club was
the matter of country roads. Several
Of the roads leading into the city were
in pretty bad shape at different times
OF the year. and ONE means to i'm
prove them was the problem. One Of
the important things done was the
clearing Of the roads of stones, 50
that they could he made smooth. Then
the township board OF Iansford town.
ship cooperated with the. club to the
extent that the south road leading into
house to the section line. a distance
OF nearly a half a mile. The city
also met the township half way and
graveled the streets in front and east
Of the school house.
The better farming association of
the county was given a start by the
club and money given. to keep. the
good Work going. Office room was al
so furnished for the field man who
makes this city his headquarters.
A cream market was also establish
ed in this city where the farmers
could secure cash for their cream.
THIS department has not hourshed to
any extent during the fall, but with
moro COWS in the country 1t; is ex-
pected that the cream station will be-
come a great boon to the farmers Of
this vincinity.
In the November 10 issue of the
Minneapolis Journal appeared an adj
vertisement from the club calling at
tentton to tho excellent advantages
OF. this section for the homeseeker.
several replies have already been re-.
ceived from this publicity and by
spring we hope to see a steady influx
OF good settlers. In another place
IN this paper appears q reproduction
of n Minneapolis Journal advertise
nlent. The mere placing Of this ad
SHOWS that the club is a live organ
ration. n that 1t is bound to make
lts influence felt upon property val
ues IN this locality. Lansford was
the only city In the Mouse river loop
country having an advertisement in
Minneapolis newspapers during
the land show held In MINNEAPOLIS.
thus proving that If advertising pays
IN the large city papers Lansford will
reap some excellent benefits from this
publicity.

Of police magistrate filled Immediately
after the resignation Of Judge will
lam Murray. which is to go into eff
feet early in January. a special cleo
ton will be necessary to NIL tho va

Mr.. MCGEE says that under the laws
Of the state for cities with the COM
mission form Of government the only
way that a successor to Judge MUIR
ray could be selected was by a spe-
cial election.
The law provides. however. that in
the absence Of the police magistrate
the duties of the Office may be flied

city election will occur in April. 1t
is possible that the commission may
not think 1t best to go to the expense
OF a Special election.
In this event John Lynch who holds
the office of city Justice will I'LL the
