1.-THE NEWSPAPER BUSINESS.
Any One Can Succeed In 1t, AC-
COrdlng to Popular Conception.

One meets very few people who
are not competent to edit and pub
lish an acceptable and popular
newspaper. There are men who
will admit that they don't under
stand medicine sufficiently we'll to
practice the art of curing human
ills. There are also quite a mum.
Der who, if asked, would decline
to occupy pulpit or try case in
court, but none of them would
hesitate to 90 into a print shop
and write editorials and manage
the issuing of a daily or weekly
publication. OF all the easy tasks
in the world none equals that of
the editor and publisher. It's as
easy as rolling off wet log"
And think of the great valve of
a newspaper establishment. We
heard of the owner of a country
daily publication who said lately
he considered his plant worth
$100,000l Whew! Did you catch
the figures $100,O00!. The gen.
tleman who told us said he thought
it was worth 100000, although he
hadn't the least idea of the ex-
pense of running the shop, the
revenue, etc. Before you form
an estimate of the value of a
printing shop, or accept the esti-
mate of another, ask for figures.
While there are some newspa-
pers that are profitable business
ventures, there are just as many
that are far from it. The other
day the Trenton On. j. True
American filed a petition in vol
untary bankruptcy. This paper
is one of the oldest in New Jersey,
and was for years the recognized
Democratic organ at the State
capital. The statement has been
made that 100000 was lost in its
publication in the last fifteen years.
1t is to be hoped, however, that
such trifling circumstances will
deter no one who imagines he has
newspaper talent from starting in
the business. but that ambitious
young fellows with money Or
friends who are willing to part
with their fortunes will continue,
as in the past, to initiate the boy
who stood very near the hind feet
of mule. When his farther saw
the lad the parent remarked: MY
son, you'll never be as handsome
as you were, but you'll know a
sight more" This has been the
experience of some overwise peo-
pie with the newspaper itch. If
you want to know where you are
at go into the newspaper business.
Don't let the fact that you never
had any experience keep you from
it. Easton Sunday Call.

Some folks only defense of vir-

b0llllfAU NAN
IS FINED FOR
KILLING deer
CLAIMED HE DIDN'T KNOW 1T
WAS AGAINST THE LAw-RE-
CEIvEs MINIMUM FINE OF
sleo.

E. E. Comaryn, who lives in the
Turtle mountains northeast Of B0tti-
neau, was arrested for killing deer.
He was taken before Judge Smithson
Of Bottineau and entered plea of
guilty. He was assessed 500 and
costs.
The deer was killed about three
weeks ago and an investigation was
made by Special Deputy Thos. Hen
messy, along the line laid out by Chief
Game Warden E. B. McCutcheon of
this city.
When arrested and the matter ex-
planned to him he pleaded ignorance
Of the law and admitted his guilt. The
Judge accordingly let him off with the
minimum fine, which is 800 and the
costs.
Deer are protected until 1916 and
cannot be legally killed before that
date. Any person found with any
part of such an animal in their poses
sion, or who receive any part of such
animal are guilty under the law, the
same as if they actually killed it.
Beaver are protected under the same
penalty until 1920. There are num-
Der of both animals in this state and
the game board is keeping a sharp
lookout for violations of this law.

MOTION MA
CHINE RUNS 40 DAYS.

J. w. Kennedy Of Mandan has a
perpetual motion" machine that has
run for forty days without stopping
and the public is watching the out
come with considerable interest.
1t is wheel of nine spokes and is
about six feet in diameter. On each
spoke is weight which falls to the
extreme outer end of the spoke as it
passes over center, and the spokes are
SO arranged as to keep five weights
on the downward motion all the time.
The machine has run 40 days and
nights without stopping and seems to
be the real solution of the problem.
So exceptional would be the invention
if successful that one hesitates in en-
dorsing it, but the demonstration is
so convincing that one almost loses
his doubt as he sees it plodding away.

BOUGHT CATTLE IN
DROUTA DISTRICT
TOFFLEMIRE BROS. SHIP 2lS
HEAD OF YOUNG CATTLE to-
THEIR SAWYER FARM THIS
WEEK, BOUGHT AT A GAR
GAIN.

Tofflemire Bros. of this city, with
an eye to business, bought 218 head
of good young cattle thruout the var
ious districts of South Dakota that
had been effected by the seasons
drouth, and shipped them to their
farm three miles west of Sawyer.
Some of these cattle will be sold to
the farmers of this section of the
state and a number of them will be
fattened by the buyers. This is a
good business move and the purchas-
ers will realize nice profit on their
investment. There are some sections
of the south, where scarcely anything
was grown this year, not even suffic-
lent feed, and farmers are willing to
part with their holdings at consider
able sacrifice.

SEVERAL RECALL
PETITIONS ARE
REJECTED
CITY COMMISSIONERS RETURN
PETITIONS FOR AMENDMENT
AND WILL CONSIDER THEM
MONDAY NIGHT.

The petitions for the recall of Po-
lice Magistrate John Lynch, Pres. Ne
hemiah Davis of the city commission,
and Police Commissioner w. S. Shaw
were returned to the petitioners for
amendment by the board of city COM
missioners at the weekly meeting in
the city hall Monday night.
The petitions were rejected on the
grounds that they did not contain the
signatures Of 80 per cent of the city's
legal voters, as required by law for
the calling Of recall election. The
petitioners will be given ten days in
which to have the petitions properly
amended with sufficient number of sig
natures.
The petition for the recall of D. c.
Dorman, Socialist commissioner of
streets, was found to contain sufficient
valid signatures for a special election
and was presented to the commission
ers with the certificate of the city aud
itor attached The commissioners
took no action on the Dorman petition
and laid it over to be etken up at the
meeting next Monday in order to avoid
the complications and expense of two
elections. If enough names are at
tached to the petitions for the recall
of Davis, Shaw and Lynch it is plan
ned to have just one election to decide
the issue. 1t is very probable that the
petitions which have been returned to
the petitioners will be amended in time
to be presented at the next meeting
of the commissioners

BRUECCfR AND
BURKE CLASH AGAIN
WILLlSTON MAN, WHO is STATE
CHAIRMAN, RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE APPOINTMENT OF TOWN.
Err MAN TO MINOT POSITION.

1t appears that former Governor
Burke and John Bruegger, Of Willis
ton, state chairman Of the democratic
organization have clashed again.
The political breach between these
two old war horses seems to be wild
ening.
1t is known that John l.. Fahey, the
Minot attorney who was an aspirant
for the registership of the Minot land
office, had the endorsement Of Burke,
while F. F. Fritz of Towner, who was
named, was endorsed by Bruegger. 1t
is said that Bruegger has been turn
ed down by the powers that be so
many times, that they feared to cross
his path again. This is likely to
cause a merry war in the local demo-
cratic camp, for Fahey had the solid
Ward county endorsement for the po-
SitiOn.

Browns Appetite Cost Him Something

chicken cost him just $61.50 last
Thursday. William, who lives at
Ambrose, thot the hunting season was
so near that day or two wouldn't

chickens. The game warden got him
and he was fined plenty.
