TOTAL POINTS MADE.

Last night before a small but very
attentive and ~appreciative audience,
the North Dakota Agricultural college
successfully debated the single tax
question with the Manitoba A. Q.
U. w. Gordon opened for the affirm
ative by showing that a change was
necessary and advocating the single
tax as a tax on persons for benefits re-
ceived from land used by them to the
exclusion of all others. The municipal
ity needs money SO why not go to the
seat of all wealth, land, which always
exists and cannot be removed to avoid
taxation and it's value is made by the
community. Mr.. Gordon was a free
and easy speaker, well versed in his
subject.
eco. Stewart opened for the negative
by defining the word tax, then tracing
the history of the present system and
showing by letters received that so per
cent of Canadian and 80 per cent of
American cities are opposed to single
tax.
J. FL. McCulloch continued for the at
firmative by showing a is forced con
tribution for general benefits or gem
eral or special privileges. He showed

Ralph Smith then showed how
single tax was inelastic and has no
place to draw from for increased
raise of revenue and it cannot adapt
itself to region under discussion.

YOUNG GIRL Died
FROM INJURIES
MARTHA BECKMAN SUccUMBED
LATE YESTERDAY TO INJURIES
CAUSED BY BURNS FROM A
LAMP RECEIVED ON FARM NEAR
GEORGETOWN.

Martha Beckman, IS years of age. a
domestic in the employ of Ole Farder.
a farmer at Georgetown, ccumb to
injuries caused by burns sustained last
night in he house where she was liv-
ing. Death occurred at the Northwest
ern hospital shortly after 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The mother of the
unfortunate young woman arrived at
the hospital about two hours later from
her home in Pelican Rapids, Mimi.
The accident occurred from an over
turned lamp which was being used on
a sewing mahine by Miss Beckman.
The latter was engaged in doing some
sewing, after the family of the house
had retired, and the theory is that the
lamp, which rested on the table of the
machine, was gradually worked over
the edge by the rapid motion of the
machine and to the girl. The
lamp was a tin one and when it fell to
the floor h oil escaped and caught
fire from the burning wick. In an eff
fort to e~xtinguish the flames the girl
used her apron to fan out the fire and
Immediately the girls clothing was
afire and she ran screaming up stairs.
Mr.. Farder and another mar rushed to
the burning girls assistance and by the
aid of blankets extinguished the
flames about the girls body. The latter
was frightfully burned from head to
foot. DR.. o. J. Hagen of Moorhead was
phOned for. but it was three hours be-
fore he reached the home and was able
to administer relief to the suffering
girl. When it was possible the injured
girl was FASTENED to the Northwestern
hospital at Moorhead, where she was
subjected to the best attention possible,
but despite all the skill Of the surgeons
in charge she passed away as stated.
The arrangements for the funeral are
pending.

That the chances of former Gov.
John Burke of North Dakota for the
appointment to a cabinet portfolio by
President-ele lee Wilson are consider
ed good in Washington was given to
be understood in word received this
morning from Col. George w. Wilkin-
son, editor of The North Dakota Dem
ocrat, who is attending the Inaugural
ton.
TT looks like Burke" states Colonel
Wilkinson in his message. THE de-
lay improves his chances. Governor
Marshall arrived in town yesterday
and he e the smile hat won't
come off. Mrs. Marshall does too, so
the whole family has the habit. The
suffragettes will make a big splash

Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, March Wheat: The
weather throughout the winter wheat
belt continues favorable and the crop
has ample snow protection. The cash
demand here continues very quiet but
Minneapolis reported an improved de-
mand there, and while flour sales were
light there was a somewhat better in
quiry noted. The market ruled quiet
but very dull with only a light trade
and an easier undertOnc. There is no
outside speculation and what little
trade there is is mainly of a local
professional character. AS we have
said before, as long as crop prospects
continue favorable and cash demand
so poor, We can see no reason for any
advance.
Corn: The weather throughout the
belt generally clear and more favor
able for movement to market. Both
export inc domestic demand keep
very quiet and cash prices were quot
ed IA to 1-2c lower. Our stock this
week is likely to show increase, as
also will the visible supply. 1t is re-
ported officially that there are about
5000, 600 bushels of corn in cars on
track here awaiting unloading at
transfer houses or storage elevators.
In our opinion, after talking to near
ly all the large shippers, we are con-
sentative in saying that not over
~ per cent VI lhlS COIh on i"CN
is sold for shipment. The market rul-
ed easier on profit taking by local
longs over the week end but trade
was light.
oats: Trade in oats was light to-
day. The undertOne to the market
was heavy and prices ruled easier.
Receipts at the moment are a little
light but we think they will soon be-
gin to increase again, especially with
favorable weather.

probably not then, as some of the COM
mittee of judges are not at home.
Secretary Hardy announced at 8
O'clock this afternoon that there had
been received at the commercial club
no less than 243 designs for the labels
and that the examination of these will
require considerable time.
Some of the designs are done in coll
ors, while others are in lead pencil, and
still others in g n ink. Some of
them are gorgeous, while others are as
plain as they a be, but with very
few exceptions they are all applicable.

MASKED men HELD
UP FAST FREIGHT

Huntington, w. Va, March H.
Masked men held up a fast freight
train on the Norfolk e. Western rail-
road last night at Alwick, thirty five
miles from Williamson, w. Va. Two
of the bandits were injured in a re-
volver fight. Considerable plumber
was secured by the men.
The scene of the hold-up is on an
isolated mountain spot. Evidently
the bandits believed they were stop
ping a passenger train. Wire COM
m~unication was cut, apparently by the
robbers, and only meagre details fl
tered in here late to-day.
From what has been learned the
masked men tagged the train. When
they discovered it was a freight they
opened fire, shooting into the freight
cars, and sending a steady stream of
shot along either side of the train.
After the first shock the crew Of the
train returned the fire. Two of the
three men who attacked the train
