Langdon residents than it otherwise
would have because Mr., Syre is one of

The legal question will come up in
in the state supreme court this month
sometime as to the legality of the new
law enacted. at the last session OF the
legislature, which says that the county
treasurer-elect shall enter upon the
duties OF his Office May LIST instead OF
January LIST, as under the old law. The
point raised is that the state constltu.
ton expressly says that the county
treasurer shall not hold office for more
than four years. This of course would
n%otapply to incumbents ofthe office who
were not reelected for a second term.

lANGDON IS PAIRED :
WITH PARK RIVER
In High School, Debate First Series
in Which There Are Fourteen
Towns C~ontesting

In the state high school debate which
is to take place sometime during the
Christmas holidays, fourteen Of the
high schools of the state will contest
for the possession of the Herald Trophy
Cup for the year 1912. The question
for this years debate is "Resolved. That
the United States should own a PARCELS
express" Langdon is pared off in the
first series of the contest with Park
River and will be represented by a team
of three high school students in the
debate. The lineup of schools paired
for the first series has been given out by
the committee of the university faculty
for the first debate as follows:
Park River and Langdon.
Hatton and Northwood.
Wahpeton and Enderlln.
Washburn and Surrey.
Berthold and Rugby.
Michigan and Grafton.
Lansford and Bisbee.
With each pair of schools the choice
of sides of the question will go to one
school and the choice of place of hold
ing the debate will go to the other. In
19C9-1O the final debate was between the
Darlington and Leeds high schools, and
the latter team carried off first honors.
In 1901 the debate was won by Min
newaukan after defeating the Casselton
high school. Last year Leeds was sue
cessful in winning the trophy from the
Hatton high school. Neither the Leeds
nor the Minnewaukan schools will be in
the race this year.

MINERAL PATENTS

 Abrogatsd

For over year patents to min eral lands within the territory have been held up, and the land department, in connection with the general land office would not allow the applications to be list ed clear, so the same could go to patent, but this drawback has been remedied and from now on all applications will be clear list ed before the time of advertising expires.
 The land offices have been not flied by the chief of field division that hereafter all applications for patent to placer and quartz mines will not be held up as during the past year or so, but the applica- tions will be acted upon at once apd clear-lister in order for ev- erything to be in good shape for the patent to issue after the statutory period has lapsed to comply with the law such as ad- |vertiSing for patent allowing ad- verse claimants to be heard, etc. This will prove good news to many, for patents have been held up by the score of late and claim owners rrfrainrh from making applical ion owing tn the nOn-frc" listing on inc part of inc land of flee after application was mad,.

FREIGHT RATES
 BEING INCREASED
For Southeastern Alaska PoInts- WIIi Same Policy be Pursued In
 Southwestern Alaska Ports

TarilI sheets announcing the increase ill freight rates were to- day posted by the Pacific Coast Steamship Co. and the Alaska Steamship Co. and the Humboldt Steamship Co. arc expected to fol- low suit by tomorrow, August tO, when the rates posted by the P. c. Co. are effective.
 The rise in freight rates from Puget Sound ports to Alaska is leaving room for speculation as to whether or not local prices will ascend in proportion to the high CT charges on freight. Another point discussed today is whether or not the interstate commerce commission will take a hand in local rate-making. Since the de- cision by the supreme court not long ago ruled that Alaska was a territory, and not a district, the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce has been extended to Alaska. It would seem that freight rates between Seattle and Alaska arc subject to the censor ship of the commission. Sever al say that the commission has the power to approve or disap- prove. whatever the case may be, of any and all' rates. Others are of the opinion that the interstate commerce commission has no Jurisdiction over ratcS between To- cal points, where rail connection
