With the general use Of automo.

some tens of thousands of auto.
mobilists after having been stuck
in the mud have given up the idea
Of defying bad roads. So the good
roads problem is very much of a
live issue, and former Senator
Bourne in report based upon ex-
haustive investigation Of the sub.
ject, proposes to meet the ques.
ton in all its fullness. He wants
an expenditure OF iiree billions OF
dollars, of which one-third is to be
for building and two-thirds for
maintenance, the amounts EXTEND

Approving the s'safe and sane''
legislation that has done so much
to preserve life and limb, and to
put needed check on the indis-
criminate use Of fireworks, pistols
and guns, Mr.. William G. Sickel,
a prominent steamship man, is in.
sisting that the movement shall &C
further and include the air gun.
While his son was .playine
'Injun' he lost an eye as the re,
suit of the careless handling Of one
of these guns BY playmate. This
set Mr.. Sickel at work looking ur
statistics covering accidents hap
pening to children from air guns,
and the results were SO startling
that he set the bail rolling in hi.

of air guns was prohibited by law
He asserts that this is only the be
ginning Of a movement that will
become general as the necessity
for it is brought home to the law
makers Of the country.

THE CURFEW BELL Again
Village Trustees Revive Juy-
emile Ordinance.
BAND GETS APPROPRIATION
Board Also Gives Attention to City
Park Matters.

The curfew bell is ringing again
10 Rathdrum, after having been
silent for month. The village
trustees decided Monday evening
that too many Of the younger
generation were lettering about the
streets and alleys at late hours and
so made an order that the curfew
be rung at 9 o'clock each evening
as provided by ordinance, as a
signal for all children under IS
years Of age to seek at once the
shelter Of their homes. The mar
shal was instructed to enforce the
ordinance and if necessary to ar
rest any offenders he might catch.
The Rathdru,n City band came
in for ia ,orable consideration At
the hands Of the board, upon ap-
plication of F. G. Hart and Ernest
Reiniger, secretary and treasurer.

SNAAS 31AO A0A&VAV0Os
Washington, D. c. May 49,
That the western states are thor
oughly aroused over the tariff
situation was emphasized by the
protest of western senators and
representatives Of the Democratic
persuasion who called on the Presi-
dent few days ago to protest
against the schedules Of the Under
wood bill affecting the agricultural
interests of their sections Of the
country. Opposition to the free
sugar program Of the administra-
ton has arisen in new quarter on
account Of the effect it will have
on the settlement and cultivation
of irrigated lands in the west
Those who are interested in the
development of reclamation have
made strong protest to Senators
Borah and Brady against any
tariff enactment destructive Of the
sugar beet industry. Reclamation
is strongly represented in the capi-
tai at the present time, men in
terested in the various projects
having been summoned here to
confer with Secretary Lane. 1t is
asserted that under free sugar, "the
thousands of acres now in sugar
beets, and which would be planted
in beets in the future under con-
ditions permitting this industry to
expand, must 60 into fruit, alfalfa
and other general farm products,
which will result in glutting the
market which is already on the
verge of oversupply."
Representative French of Idaho,
has taken prominent part in the
tariff debate, and in the considera-
ton of the schedules affecting the
interests of the western country
has made two or three strong
speeches against the lower duties
proposed.
Representative F Falconer Of the
state of Washington, who is one of
the new men in Congress, has
come prominently to the fore
ground on account Of his excep-
tionally clever speeches against
removing duties from art
icles forming the industry of his
state, and the west.
Senator Walsh Of Montana, who
was sent by the Democratic legis-
lature to succeed Senator Dixon,
turns out to be committed rather
strongly to his people in reference
to tariff matters, and his position
in opposition to some of the ad.
ministration policies, is of import
ance in view of the fact that one OF
two votes in the Senate may swing
the balance of power on the WOO
and sugar schedules.
One Of the most effective plea.
made before committee OF Con.
gress in behalf of equal suffrage

Bangs Pleads
For Anderson
PRESENTS NEW THEORY SHOW
ING HOW FUNK MIGHT HAVE
BEEN SHOT.

Washburn, N. D., June 25.-1n a
marter effort this afternoon, Attorney
Bangs opened the defense Of Walford
Anderson, charged with murder of
Cashier Frank Funk. He opened his
argument by eulogizing the trial judge
and the opposing counsel and analized
the testimony of each one that had
testified for the state and when the
court had adjourned for the day he
had talked for three hours, and will
not finish until later tomorrow morn
ing.
He assailed Carl Fahlgren, the man
who testified for the state and had
said Anderson told him while speak
ing of Funk that the ought to
be shot and that's the best can say
for the, as a damnable perjurer,
that he had gone on the stand after
he had been paid for his testimony,
and with vile venom" and "damnable
lies" had tried to hang Walford An
derson and then had hurriedly left
town."
Bangs also deliberately illustrated
to the jury that it was possible that
when Funk went home that evening
he might have been going to an out
house north of his house and had been
shot from over the wall, and to bear
out his illustration to the jury he told
of how Hilma Fahlgren, the hired girl
had said that Funk was still moving
about when she went out to pick up
the baby, and that there was no tell
ing where he was standing when the
bullet hit him. States Attorney Man.
nuel opened the case for the state
, though he spoke but briefly to the
jury. Attorney Lawrence will argue
in rebuttal and his address is waited
for with interest.
Judge Crawford is preparing his
charge to the jury and the jury may
retire early tomorrow evening.

Eighty Per Cent Drop
Ia Liquor Sales
SUPT. WATKINS SHOWS MARKED
CHANGES FOR eETTER-NEW
REGULATIONS HELP.

Illegal liquor sales have fallen off
eighty per cent with the last few
months, and during the next year, or
within a very few weeks, it will fall
even lower than that until It attains
probably the lowest point in the his
tory of the state.
That summary Of the present cond!
ton and forecast Of the future is
made by F. L. Watkins. superintend.
ent of the North Dakota Enforcement
league, who is in Grand Forks.
Federal regulations have, in the
main, been responsible for new con-
ditions surrounding the shipment of
liquor, into North Dakota, although
new state regulations also have had a
big effect in bringing about the
change.
"As we understand it, the man who
has ever been convicted in the state
of blindpigging, will have hard time
to secure any liquor. The railroads
are engaged in preparing an order
covering the situation, this order
growing out Of the Webb law. When
the railroads refused to handle liquor
to such men, the blindpigging bust.
ness will be practically thing OF the
past.
"The new state law which gives the
governor the power to remove police
officials failing to enforce the law has
had a good effect. In many counties
Of the state we see changed atti.
tude as concerns law enforcement and
this condition, we believe, will be-
come even more satisfactory as the
full power Of the governor is more
thoroughly appreciated.
after July the gambling evil al
so will be minimized by the new gam
bling law. This law, effective July l.,
gives the courts the power to close
buildings in which gambling may be
conducted, being patterned after the
blindpig injunction law. 1t will cover
all kinds of gambling, including the
slot machine, dice boxes, card play
ing, etc. It will be the death knell
of gambling.
ION my present visit to Grand
Forks am, conculttng with officials
with reference to the delivery Of IL
quor into Grand Forks from East
Grand Forks. The practices Of the
past have been contrary to law, and
understand that brewing agencies
have already announced that they will
discontinue the delivery.
I'VE will make this situation cover
all handling of liquor, including the
messengers.
1.-THE next plan we have under con.
sideration Is that of enforcing the law
relating to the work Of agents OF
brewing and liquor houses in the state
This law has never been enforced
heretofore because we had been un.
able to get to it, but we expect to get
to it very shortly. The law is very
explicit, making it unlawful to solicit
liquor orders in the state.
AT the present time there are only
twenty drug permits left in the state
and some of these will have to 60
There has hardly been a single per.
NIT in which there could not be pros
ecutions."
