1t would appear reasonably certain
that there is to be a new bridge con-
Meeting Portland and the Cape where
now stands the obsolete and unsafe
Portland Bridge. The street railway
interests and the Portland Terminal
Company have agreed to pay their
proportionate part of the pending
bridge bill and that puts the whole
thing up TO the county commissioners
which is supposed to be equivalent TO
an acceptance of the terms of the bill
The fight for a new bridge has been
long, bitter one. In 1909 a bridge
bill was passed after the failure of
two previous sessions to take action
in the matter. This bill seemed fairly
satisfactory with the exception Of
some flaws in legaliZing the location
of tracks on Commercial street; flaws
that We're strongly objected to by
many citizens. Finally a referendum
on the matter was imposed and the
people voted against this 1909 bill. In
1911 another unsuccessful attempt was
made To get a bridge bill through the
Legislature. At the last session. how
ever, the Cumberland County delega-
ton was persuaded to act faVorably
and bill was put through which
seemed satisfactory to all concerned.

MARSHAL
Is OPPOSED
Insurance Companies Oper-
ating Against Creation.
Of New Official
Especial to Tribunc.)

GRAND FORKS, Feb.l3.-There is
considerable opposition to the fire
marshall law bill introduced in the
legislature. Nearly all are agreed that
a fire marshall is all right but the Op-
position comes from ire insurance
men and the firemen.
The former object to the proposed
additional levy Of one.fourth Of one
per CEN on all insurance premiums to
cover the expense Of the marshal.
They are now being assessed 2H per
cent on all premiums, 2 per cent Of
which goes to tiremen in organized
towns and the other y per cent to the
state. But in addition to this " per
cent direct the state also gets consid-
cradle other insurance money from
premiums in towns where there are
no Organized fire departments.
The insurance agents think the levy
already su .iciently large and that the
expenses of the fire marshal should
be cared for out of the levy already
made.
The tiremen object to the provision
which makes the mayor Of each town
the responsible local head. They con
tend this handicaps the fire marshal
who should have unrestrained power
in making Investigations. 1t is pos
sible the la wmay be amended so that
It will be satisfactory to all concerned

GRAIN men ARE
WELL SATISFIED
Result Of Conference May

for OverChargeS

FARGO, N. d., Feb. 13.-The indie
pendent grain men of North Dakota
are jubilant over the results of the
recent meeting of the North Dakota
Railway commission at Minneapolis,
where a conference with the elevator
interests was held.
1t is claimed that at least two things
we're developed that will help the in
dependent grain business and the
farmers of North DAKOTA. They in

eight elevators regarding prices was
et1ectually established and that a per

refund or reimbursement on over
charges on barley and oats.
In regard to the former charges rep

we're paying the same prices at local
North Dakota stations and S cents be-
low the rate they should have. The
commission secured a signed state
ment to this effect.
In some instances the elevators
were buying barley at fifty pounds per
bushel instead of forty-eight and oats
at t~hirty.two and thigty.five instead OF
thirty. On demand some restitution
was made shippers and this estab'
Used a precedent that will lead to a
general reimbursement to barley and

is but a harmless fellow who through
his weak mentality has been given
to perversion. He stoutly denies that
he ever committed murder, robbery
or any such crime, or in any way
ever wronsed any nan other than
himself.
He claims to have a homestead near
Medicine Hat and ran away and left
it through lear that his neighbOrs
would harm him. He also claims to
have worked for a party at Ryder, this

4 GAME WARDENS.
NOW PROPOSED
(Specjai TO Tribune.)

MlNOT, n. D., Feb. 1S.--For better
enforcement of the game laws OF
North Dakota there is a movement
to have the state legislature increase
the number Of game warden districts
from two to four.
AT present the state is divided into
north and south districts. 1t is tigur'
ed rnat by a still further division, max
ing northeastern. northwestern, south
western and southeastern districts,
the latter would be much more com
pact and the laws could be much more
easily enforced.
The number Of deputies could be re
duccd and the general expense would
be little if any more than under the
present system. while the ~etllcincy
would be greatly increased. Loca'
sportsmen are strongly in favor of the
change. The pay Of the wardens
comes from the shooters anyway ahc
costs the state treasury nothing.

NEW Adjournment FOR WOMEN
the Ruby and Emerald, German
Experts Declare.

A new gem, given the name OF
'heliodor," and found in German
South Africa, has taken its place
among the jewels. The German
kaiser recently presented one of the
new stones to the kaiserin. The dis
covery Of the new stone was made by
the governor and director of the Ger
man colonial society while he was
travelling in German South Africa.
In the sand near the railway between
Swakopmund and Windhuk he
found a large crystal, rough and un-
promising in appearance. He car
ried it with him to Germany and
had it cut and polished in a diamond
cutting factory. The result was a
surprising clear, pale aquamarine OF
great brilliance. The German colonial
Office Immediately took possession of
the ground upon which the crystal
was found, and a great number of
the crystals are now making their
appearance upon the German mar
ket. Experts agree that the new
gem is entitled to rank with the ruby
and emerald.-Popular Mechanic
