Large Auto Tax on Hand.

Grand Forks Herald: About $751;
600 accruing from the automobile tax
Of 1911 will be distributed among
the counties. 1t is to be hoped the
season of 1912 will not go by before
the money is expended. Part of it
should be devoted to removing
rocks, filling up to culverts and Incl
IDENTIFY putting in a few culverts
here and there where they have gone
by default. One thing should be
kept in mind-that the tax is a
special one and the proceeds should
be devoted to lettering the roads on
which these autos run. One feature
desirable is an even surface and alb
sence Of ruts. Surfacing them is
one means whereby the money can
be wisely and appropriately expend-
ed. Whether this is done by push
grader or split-log drag is inmate
rial, SO long as results are obtained.

consigned to the tomb. The servic-

mond, formerly Presbyterian pastor
at Hazelton. but now located at
Steele. All who. attended were
much impressed with the words of
the young minister, who is highly
regarded by the people of Hazelton.
The church was crowded with the
friends and neighbors of the de-
ceased pioneer, many attending from
Linton and other points a consider
able distance from Haezlton.
The remains were inferred in Ha-
zelton cemetery.
The Hon. j. II. Worst would have
been present and conducted the scrv-
ices. only that he, himself, was sick.
Mr.. Worst knew Mrs. Roop from
childhood, both being members of
the Ashland (Ohiol colony that set.
tied in Emmons county at an early
day. As showing his feelings
toward his fellow-pioneers, we pub.

Quicker Delivery Of Teiexram..

Telegraph companies operating in
North Dakota will be compelled to
comply with a new rule covering the
question of delivering kilograms, as
a result of the action Of the state
railroad commission in Bismarck
this week. The rule that is proposed
requires telegraph companies to give
notice to the addressee Of the arriv-
al Of a telegram at the earliest pos
sible moment, when the address of
the party is known. Such notice
must be made by telephone unless
the telegram can be delivered by
messenger within thirty minutes. 1t
was the decision of the board to out
line the rule in question and submit
it to the several companies. and. un-
less they can show good reasons why
it should not go into effect, then it
will be adopted.

How the time flies 1t seems
but year or two since work was
begun on the Panama canal. And
now the federal authorities are be-
ginning arrangements for its open
ing to the public, which will take
place in not much more than year.
Four-fifths of the excavation labor
has been completes, and the supple
mentary work has kept pace with
the handling of the soil. The world
seems to have lost its doubt whether
the engineering difficulties connect
ed with the work could be overcome,
and the interest Of the nations is
now centered in the problem of tolls.
etc. There is much comment in
English papers over the suggestion
of President Taft that American
ships be given a preferential right
in the matter Of canal fees. This. ac-
cordlng to TafEs plan, should be
done by rebate Of the tolls to YES
sells owned in the United States.
This, the English and other foreign
newspapers point out, is a direct
violation Of the spirit Of the treaty
between Britain and this country,
which provides that tolls through
the canal shall be On an equal basis
to all vessels. How our Uncle Sam
can conscienciously adopt rebate"
system for the purpose of obtaining
a commercial advantage, while he is
prosecuting railroads for doing the
same. is Something not plain TO the
average citizen. Honesty. is the best
policy for nations as we'll as for in
dividuals. Our elongated uncle has
too good a reputation for fair deal
ing to allow that reputation to be
smirched by the doing of sharp
tricks

A Good Wrestling Match.

On Wednesday night of last week.
at Hazelton took place one Of the
most entertaining and enthusiastic
sporting events in recent years. 1t
was the wrestling-match between
Mark Solomay. the Linton mat fart
list, and Claude Bidwell, of the Ha-
zelton neighborhood. More than
hundred fans watched the match.
The first fall went to Bidwell, after
shortly more than forty minutes of
wrestling-time. and only after an
adjournment had been taken while
the mat wassrepaired. the efforts of
the.contestants having been anything
but good for the tent cover which
served the purpose of mat. At the
time of the first fall the wrestlers
had pushed over near the crowd, and
many remarked that this had inter
fered to some extent. However,
Solomay accepted the decision grace
fully, and went into the struggle
harder than ever the next time. Aft
er about twenty minutes without re-
suits. Solomay finally secured toe
hold" and later a .f1ying-mare" and
crotch. with the result that his
opponent went over his shoulder and
struck the mat with such terrific
force that he was put out of the
running for the rest of the evening.
The event was awarded by the ref.

hundred and fifty people attended
the entertainment at the opera-house
of the Olympia Colored Ladies'
Quartet. The entire seating capa-
city of the hall had been sold out far
in advance of the show, and :hose
who attended were not at fault in
their judgment. for there was not a
comment to be heard after the show
which was anything but commenda-
tory. The next and last number of
the Lyceum course provided this
winter by Manager Turner is the

Record Receives Best Wishes.

Napoleon Homestead: With the
last issue of the Emmons County
Record from Linton comes the an
nouncement that the pioneer editor
of Emmons county has taken into full
partnership with him his son Frank.
The Homestead editor ha /, known the
veteran editor of the Record, the
Hon. D. r. Streeter. for the past
quarter of century. There has
been no more untiring worker for
the upbuilding of the commonwealth
than Mr.. Streeter;; and, as the fruit
of his labors, he has built up fine
newspaper plant and has a volume
of business that has become too
great for him alone to handle with
ease and give it the attention he
would like. His son Frank was born
on the Emmons county prairie, and
is we'll known throughout his home
county and elsewhere. Frank lately
gave up profitable reportorial po-
sition with the Minneapolis Journal
to accept the position and interest
protfered by his father, and he has
the makeup in him to make
good which we believe he will.
The Homestead is pleased to learn
of the new firm. and sincerely ex-
tends best wishes for the success it
deserves at the hands of the good
people of Emmons county for the
publication of the very best news
paper Of North Dakota.

That the Northern Pacific Railway
still has in mind the proposed Edge
ley cutoff is shown by news which
comes from Napoleon. A recent is
sue of the Homestead prints the
following:
The N. P. has sent Attorney
O'Donnell an order for abstracts of
land along the route Of its survey
from Section l5-l34-6S to 2S.l34-72.
1t is assumed that, as the company
has ordered abstracts of title for the
list Of sections crossed above, it
means that, in the matter of its pro-
posed extension from Edgeley west
ward, Of the several preliminary
surveys heretofore made route has
been finally decided upon as far as
Section 29-l34-75. From the latter
point the company may as yet be un-
decided whether to follow the Beav.
er valley or jump up on to the prai-
rie. as several surveys have been
made. Logan county people are
anxiously awaiting the coming Of
the new railroad.
