A new turn in the battle Of
railway giants for possession Of
trade territory in western North
Dakota and Montana, which
means the utilization Of North
Dakota Ignite coal in the announ
cement that the Great Northern
railway proposes to electrify its
line from New Rockford, n. D., TO
Lewiston, Montana. This road
will be $50 miles long, and its
identification will be the third
great undertaking sof the kind in
the United States. Construction
crews have been at work on the
new line and an immense tunnel
is now under construction, pierc-
ing the range Of hills Just east
OF the Yellowstone river in north
western Mckenzie county. Rail-
way experts declare the announce
ment Of this project is solution
Of the Great Northern's move a
few days ago when it increased
its capital $2i 100000. The new
railroad will be operated as the
Montana Eastern, a corporation
controlled by the Great Northern
interests. The electrif1cation a.
lone will increase an expenditure
OF $iO,O0O,000. The possibilities
of a large curtailment in operat-
ing expenses gave rise to the
scheme. Pittsburgh coal, deliv-
cred in Dakota and Montana, and
fuel oil has increased rapidly in
price. However, vast beds Of lig-
mite coal are found relatively near
the surface at many points along
the proposed right-of-way. This
Ignite cannot be burned in loco
motives, but is easily handled in
large stationary boiler plants,
equipped with stokers. The en-
ergy from Ignite can be convert
ed into electrical power and sent
400 miles east and west from
many central power stations!

RENO RINo the NEWEST FAp

B8EWV UH1WW UUe V8VV8OV VAO
The Reno ring is what they call
it. It's the ex-wedding ring. It's
the ring divorced wife wants to
keep on her hand but not on the
hand where it was placed by the
husband, when love was young" :"
A divorcee explained that the fad
started in Reno while she was
there getting her martial freedom.
The idea is to leave the wedding
finger free for a new ring. There
is q sensational attachment to the
first wedding ring which makes it
difficult for a woman TO give it
up," she said, ''but she does not
feel like wearing it on the wedding
finger after divorce" So If at
any afternoon tea you see an at
tractive woman with golden wed
ding band on the right third you
may be sure she is a matrimonial
optimist, and is. willing to try
again.

DEMURRER
OYRRRuLBD
IN aoorston Court Mouse case
In Decision lsandss Down BY
tho Supreme Court !;

In the action brought by the
Mooreton people TO enjoin the
county commissioners from carry
ing out the contract for the con.
struction Of the new court house,
the county commissioners demur
red to the complaint. In the de-
cision handed down by the su-
preme court the demurrer was
not sustained.
This brings the action back
to the district court for trial.
In the decision We find the fcl-
lowing statements:
''''"We agree fully with ap.
pcllants' contention that the som
irlaint, when fairly and literally
construed, as it must be, disclos-
es that the board, in letting the
contract, failed to proceed accord
ing to law.
1.-THE proposition called for q
extraordinary expenditure of pub
tic moneys and should have been
submitted to vote Of. the people.
Sufficient funds were not at
hand nor was any provision made
as required by law, for raising the
necessary funds. required, for the
carrying out ~ such improve
ment.
Even conceeding the correct
ness of respondents contention
that appellants cannot question
the legality of the method where
i. by the $84,6 building fund was
created, we cannot ignore the
fact as alleged, that a large a.
mount thereof was wrongfully di-
\ |verted from other funds and
therefore presumably will have
to be restored to the proper
fund.
''''"But aside from these
considerations we are agreed that
under the facts alleged, the con-
tract is void because not author
fzed by the voters. of the county.
'This being true, the complaint
states a cause of action unless
as before stated, it appears there
from that by lapse of time plain

Anunusual proceeding occurr-
ed at Reading, Pa, recently when
Alderman Kreider, who presided,
sent his brother. Robert, to Jail
for ten days in default Of IS and
1925 costs. In passing sentence
the alderman severely rebuked his
brother for alleged misconduct.
You're my brother" said the
alderman, "and I'm going to find
out why you persist in abusing
this woman. II it is true, as is
charged, I'll take the matter to
court"
The woman referred to is the
mother Of the Kreider boys. The
officer who made the arrest said
he had been called to the Kreider
home to quell q disturbance caus-
ed By Robert. Later he said he

communication from Governor
Burke.
A vote on an amended resolu-

to take adjournment tomorrow

It Is probable another resolu-

be voted on and will be carried
before adjournment this after

oREGrlNoS FROM
THE oAlLAohERo
To the Editor Of The Times:
Dear Mr.. Cameron:
By your kind permission am
writing this greeting to all our
good friends in Wahpeton who
may care to hear from US.
Our journey was without ac-
cident, The weather was all that
we could have asked and more
than was to have been hoped for
at this season Of year. We saw
little snow. west Of Jamestown,
almost none until west Of Helena.
There was a little snow in Bitter
Root Valley but a warm day,
Thursday, quickly melted it.
We arrived in Stevensville on
the afternoon Of New Years day.
Merle having gotten thru Monday
morning and we found the goods
all in our new home, most of them
unpacked. a good fire going, the
beds all set up and ready for the
tired travellers. To all this hust-
ling we are indebted to Merle. A
representative of the ladies' guild
had just called. previous to our
arrival and supper was ready, or
as domestic science would say
supper was. served"
We have q splendid house in
which to dwell until our manse
shall have been completed. Ev-
erything promises we'll and we
ARE hopeful.
We shall never forget our
Wahpeton friends or the work we
have left behind. For all these
people and the work there we
have the fonest memories.
Very truly,
E. DsGALLAGHER,
Stevensville, Mon.

TOOK DEAD MANS JOB

Chicago, Dec. i9.-John Gal
lagher died last April but not un-
til today did city officials discover
that another man had been hold
ing q municipal position under
Galfagher's name. Then "Galla-
CHER" was discharged.
Everything might have continu
ed to go we'll for Gallagher" had
not two friends who attended the
real Gallagher's funeral, discov-
cred his name on the city payroll.
They complained to H. L. Lucas,
superintendent Of the water pipe
extension service, insisting it was
not right to work a dead man.
Hes not dead" Lucas said, II
have seen him frequently"
I'VE know he's dead; we attend
ed his wake," replied Lucas cal
lers.
Gallagher was summoned.
He explained that he was at Gal
lagher's house last April when no
tice came that the dead man was
eligible, by virtue of having pass
ed civil service examination, to
a city position. Seeing no harm
in taking a dead mans job he as
sumed the name Of Gallagher.
He had worked every day since
until today.

CAMPBELL EDITOR
VISITS WAHPETON.
In Me Paper Last Week He Olives
IA Account of l.ls Visit Here
-pralsss Duslnsss lasn.

Saturday Of last week the edi-
tor Of the Wilkin County News,
published at Campbell, Mimi,
was in Wahpeton on q pleasure
trip and upon his return home
he wrote an account Of his visit,
in which he speaks very highly
Of some OF the business institu-
uons Of Wahpeton and Brecken-
ridge. The article, which we will
publish in full, says:
saturday last the editor took
. half day of to visit Wahpeton
and Breckenridge and renew old
acquaintances.
His first stop was the Globe
Gazette Office, which he found
greatly enlarged since his last
visit. There he met Mr.. R. ].
Hughes, the manager, a gentle
man always a pleasure to meet,
and also Mr.. Bowman, who knows
printer. stock from start to fin-
ish.
HE looked in upon the we'll
known Stern Clothing Co.'s store
and found the elder Stern as cord
ial as ever. Oppenheimer, the
irrepressible, was then honored
by a call. "Oppie," through
those glasses of. his, can easily
Ssee dollar bill on the planet
Saturn. He has q nice store and
looked prosperous.
1.-THE Bee Hive store was next
called upon and the editor was
pleased to know that the gentle
manly proprietors remembered
him. The "Bee Hive" is one Of
the best mercantile houses in
Wahpeton. Another call was
made on Brother Cameron, of
the Times, but found that gentle
man out.
''Then back to Breckenridge
via the vibrator" car line ut
vibrates between Wahpeton and
Breckenridge) where the editor
took occasion to make a brotherly
call upon "Joe" Gum, of the Ga
zette. He and his good paper
seemed prosperous and at ease
with the world. May they always
continue 80.
"Mr james Of the Telegram.
} was out Of town, 80 the editor
took it out on Harvey, the local
editor. Everyone knows Harvey
James, and to know him is to
like him.
To pass by the big department
store Of Vertin Bros, would be
almost q criminal omission. The
boys were busy counting up
their profits on the last years
business, and they seemed we'll
satisfied with the totals.
"Allen, Bronson & Company
with their commodious and really
beautiful store, was the next point
Of call. Here also appeared ev-
cry evidence of prosperity for the
past year. This firm, with it's
employees, is made up Of pleasing
gentlemen, all cordial and agree.

ought to be.

became somewhat clamorous and
had to receive some attention,

liable hostelry-the Wilkin hotel.

duty, and anyone who gets past

SUPERVISION OF INSURANCE

Treasurer Conkling's urgent recommendations
that an insurance department be established by
the territory and that policy-writing be stand
ardzed, are in line with similar actions on the
part of several states. In fact, certain progress
i've commonwealths are going even farther
The state of Washington, generally credited
with having on its statutebooks the most pro-
gressiye legislation of any state in the union SO
far as the supervision of corporation activities is
concerned, is now taking up the regulation of in
surance rates as Systematically as few years
ago it took up the regulation of railroad rates.
The state bureau of inspection, a body whose
duty it is to supervise state offices and point out
efficiency methods, recently conducted an ex-
haustive examination of the insurance depart
ment and followed this with recommendations
that a state rating bureau be established to reg
ulate insurance rates Under the plan suggested,
the bureau would have powers similar to those of
a public utilities commission.
The report probably goes good deal farther
than Hawaii is willing to go in the recognition
of insurance companies as public service corpOr-
atoms. The constitutionality of such law
would probably be attacked and might not be
sustained in the courts The interesting point in
this connection is the fact that commonwealth
are taking up in earnest the idea that insurance
companies must do their business entirely in the
open and subject themselves to some sort of pub
lie supervision. Ill.,. ". T.:

NOT COST, BUT EFFECT

If the expenditure of $4,000 will give Homo
lulu adequate grasp of the water problem so that
the plans for a better, greater watersupply can
be put through in busnesslke, effective way,
then $4,000 is not too great a sum to spend in
the preliminary and scientific examination. In
the last few days it has become quite clear that
the water problem is an intensely serious one,
and the public works department holds cut no
hope Of relief until the present waste Of the arte
sian supply is checked and the future planned on
a really big scale. This city has outgrowT its
water system, that's the truth of the matter.
Now suddenly the city is waking up to the truth.

A MORAL OBLIGATION


The personnel of the commission that will
handlethe Hawaii county investigation seems to
be giving some concern to friends of various pos
sible members. The only interest this paper has
in the commission of three is that three men will
be named who are thoroughly in sympathy with
Establishing up-to-date accounting methods as
well as in checking upon thesresults of loose
methods in the past. H. Goodng Fields name
has been mentioned because he has made con-
struetiye suggestions in addition to conducting
the board of trade examination. The Audit Com
pany of Hawaii made a very excellent construct
i've report to the senate hold-oyef committee, and
a member of the company familiar with the Hilo
situation would undoubtedly be valuable for the
commission. Above all things, this commission
must not be regarded in the light Of furnishing
jobs. Its duty is a moral duty. Therefore this
paper wonid regret to sec it]ifspersonnel of the
commission subjected to any kind of wirepull-
ing
