This will was upheld by the su

OF a long legal struggle. Thereupo0
the losing heirs, John D. and Adolph
Spreckels, transferred part of their
fight to Hawaii. They instituted a
action to quiet title to that part of

real estate and estimates on it's value
have been placed at from 100000 to

considerable time. Three days were
given over to arguments, and in sup

SELLING snuff
BY AGENT plan
Tobacco Company Success
full in Evading the New
Prohibitory Measure

That the American Tobacco COM
pany is seeking agents in North Da-
kota through whom snuff a be sold
in the original packages. thus evad-
ing the anti-snuff law passed by the
last session of the state legislature,
Is the report received from several
cities in which agents have worked.
The new law has no effect on goods
sold in the original package direct
from the point of production to the
buyer. For this reason it Is said the
tobacco company Is seeking to estab-
lish agencies in this and other cities
where orders for the SNUFF may be
taken.
This is done. it is said, by the
agents leaving a number Of order
blanks for the SNUFF in a conspicuous
place. These are taken by persons
desiring snuff. and sen to the COM
pany after being filed in with the
name and address Of the sender.
A short time later the snuff arrives
and the agent receives a commission
on the transaction. AS a general rule
twenty or more orders are filled at a
time by the snuff dealers. :.
This plan is said to have been tried
successfully In Kindred and other
North Dakota towns. It's legality has
not as yet been tested in the courts.

GRAND FORKS MILK DEPOT TO
Be OPENED ABOUT AUGUST Is
New Method of Handling Product Expected to Bring
Better Results-H. r. Henderson of Piqua, O., Is
Manager And Has Already Taken Charge

One Of the 4best and most up-to-
date sanitary milk stations west Of
Chicago will be opened for business
in Grand Forks about the middle of
this month and the people Of this city
will be able to secure any quantity of
milk with a guarantee Of its absolute
purity. The new station has just been
built by a number Of prominent
dairymen OF this city and East Grand
and International avenues on North
Sixth street.
The building is two stories and cost
approximately $4,000. while the ma
chinery which is now being installed
costs about $40, 900. The plan Of
building this station was agitated
some time ago and was finally taken
up and has developed into a big prop
position.
NJ. L. Enright of East Grand Forks
is president OF the concern while g..
w. Coulter OF the same place is vice.
president. L. e. O'Connor Of this city
is treasurer and Leslie Sullivan Of
East Grand Forks is secretary. The
board Of directors is composed Of the
officers. and in addition, j. Coulter Of
East Grand Forks and William Dry
den Of this city,.
All Work BY Machinery.
The idea in having this depot is to
assure pure milk and also to cut
down the expenses incurred by the
individuals. The milk will be taken
to the station every morning and will
there be purified and bottled and sent
to customers in the two cities. The
milk brought in by the different
dairymen will first he pasteurized at
140 degrees Fahrenheit and will be
kept at that temperature for thirty
minutes in order to kill all bacteria.
After that the milk will be cooled and
kept in a refrigerator until ready for
delivery. The new plan Of pasteuriz-
ing and clarifying the milk will be
absolutely pure. Following this pro-
cess the milk will be put into bottles
and securely covered 20 that not dirt

A More Pretentious Outing
Under Direction of the
Commercial Club

A two day automobile tour with a
big camp probably along the banks of
the Pembina river, or al some other
point In h mountains lei Walhal-
la, was planned by the special COM
mittee of the Grand Forks CONNER
cial club, at a meeting held this morn
ing.
August 10 and 20 are the tentative
dates for this tour, which will be car
ried OF on the same basis as previous
'one-day tours have been staged. ex-
cept on a more ~pretentious basis. 49,
In. its series Of fellowship tours the
club already has visited Trail and
Walsh counties, while in the coming
trip 1t is proposed to cover additional
territory as we'll as cities in Pembina
county.
The Grand Forks Military band will
accompany the business men on their
tour. and the regulation organization
Of boosters. who made such a great
hit on their recent expeditions. will
be on hand to make things merry.
Night Camp a Great Feature.
The idea of establishing a night
camp is decidedly novel. The path
finders, who will be sen out in a few
days. will look over the ground with
q view to establishing the camp. Tents
will be erected for the tourists, and
they Will spend the night in the open.
Also. a day or two previous to the
trip, a chef will be sent to THE camp
and he will have a great meal in
readiness for the tourists. who are GER
tain of attaining the hunger stage by
the time the days trip is ended.
At the camp the party will take
both supper and breakfast.
Although the plans are still unset
tied. 1t is probable that arrangements
will be made to stage a big perfom-
ance during the evening. and that the
camp will be visited by a large num-
Der of people from the surrounding
district.
Route Not Selected.
The exact route for the tour has
not yet been fixed. This matter will
be left largely to the pathfinders. 1t
is expected that Grafton. Neche and

GRAND FORKS IS
STILL IN LEAD
Spread of 313 Between This
City and Fargo on School
Population
INCREASE GREATER
EACH PASSING YEAR
Fact of More Rapid Growth
Being Experienced Prov
en- by the Figures

That Grand Forks had 313 more
children Of school age than Fargo is
shown by the statistics which have
been compiled in the two cities. There
were 4,410 boys and girls attending
school here last year and 4,097 at
Fargo. In 1911-12 Grand Forks had
1920 and Fargo 1922. The number
has increased considerably in both
cities being about ten per cent larger
in each case.
Several years ago the spread in
school population between the two cit
les was a great deal less than 1t is
now. Each year. however, there has
been an increase in the lead maintain
ed by Grand Forks.
As was the cas- in 1910. when the
federal census was taken. 1t was
shown hat Grand Forks. in the de-
cade. had a greater percentage growth
than Fargo. The same situation evil
IDENTIFY still holds true. for the Grand
Forks school population is growing
more rapidly than that of Fargo.

The boy. who is named after his

angry words which ensued and how

playing with a small rifle outside Of
the house. He was on the opposite
side of the structure from the barrel
in which the body Of Mrs. Staff was
found, and did not see his father fire
the fatal shot.
The story of the quarrel. and the
threatening language which Staff Is
said to have used to his wife evident

and the attorneys for the defense
made a determined effort to shake the
