In North Dorset.

Editor Manchester Journal:
Dear Sir
In your issue of last week under
the South Dorset items, your cores
pondent is evidently laboring under
4 delusion in regard to the road
work at Emerald Lake.
In the first place this improve
ment is paid for entirely by the
State and is pure gift to the town
Of Dorset The per cent fund is
state tax and y collected whether
my road is built or not and the dis
onrsement of that fund rests entirely
IN the hands of the State. A town
may accept this money or decline IL,
Jut 1t does not prevent the State
going ahead with the road work
even II necessary TO import help
from outside.
In the second place the road com
missioner is In sole charge OF the
road gang and may stop working
any time for haylng or 10 repair
washouts, or for any purpose what
ever.
Whenever the State puts It's
money into road II rightly insists
on proper grades and proper widths.
A road commissioner can build his
own road with town money any way
and any time he sees fit but II he
desires State funds he must comply
with State regulations.
An examination OF the table on the
first page will show the road com
missioners OF Dorset have put more
cash per mile into the maintenance
OF the roads than any other town
In the county this year. 1t will also
be well 20 bear In mind that money
appropriated by the State for con
struetion must be used for constrnc-l
tion and II can not be diverted 20
understand both commissioners
are short OF maintenance funds
and the selectmen have refused 20
let them over run their accounts
The insinuation that the state
money approprla Cd At Emerald
Lake be used for maintaining the
roads. If carried out. would result in
action by the grand jury OF the
guilty parties Tor mis-appropriation
OF State funds. The State does not
run the road gang. II simply pre-
scribes how the road shall be besIt
and sees IL Is 80 built before II
pays It's check into the town treas
ury. Hoping ! have made this clear
and thanking you for the space.

WILL Be A Thing
OF The PAST

Fargo, n. D., June ls.-On June 30.
what was the first federal land once
in what is now North Dakota will be
a thing of the past. II was establish
ed originally al Pembina, then moved
to Fargo, and has been the Official
place through which the development
of this part OF the valley was made
during the past four decades.
Several prominent men have been
among those who were officials here.
Minnesota furnished an e~x-cXcutlVe
for the place in former Governor Aus.
ton, who was at one time register.
Through this Office practically all OF
the development of the southern part
OF the Red river valley west OF the
river and much Of the adjacent ter
ritory to the west was settled.
Under the orders of the department
of the interior a part OF the recordr
are to be transferred to the Devils
Lake land office and the rest to Bis
marck. There is not a vacant quar-
ter in what was sent to Devils Lake
and only eight final proof remains.
There is only one full quarter tn'ak-
en- in the territory assigned to the
bismarck office although there re-
mains a large number of final proofs.
Both Register Schuyler and Receiv-
er Jordan resigned some months ago
but were persuaded to close up the
office. The latter is now a member
Of the city commission and the Tor
rner will re-engage in the realty ana
insurance business.

promptly at . o'clock in the after

well worth attending.
President Barrett. of the Farmers

POLITICAL PLUMS
FOR FARGO men

Fargo, n. D., June 1S.-Waiting for
the federal political plu:ns to drop is
not a very pleasing pastime for some
OF the ofice,seeKing democrats in
North Dakota. So far only three
appointments have been made and
two of these, Anheiser as national
bank examiner and Hildreth as assist
ant u. S. district attorney, were from
Fargo. Anheiser was named to sue
coed E. S. Tyler whose resignation
was sent in about the first of the
year.
There was a great deal more inter-
est taken in the Hildreth case as a
lively contest has been carried on be-
tween him and T. D. Casey OF Dickin-
o for the U. S. district attorneyship.
Judge Engerud, the present incum-
bent, has served only two years OF
his appointment. T. H. McEnroe,
his assistant. was asked to resign to
make a place for Hildreth. The,
popular idea is that Hildreth is to
serve as assistant long enough to "a
niliarize himself with the work and
he will then be promoted. The
friends of Casey are greatly disap-
pointed as they felt sure the Dickin-
son man. who is widely known as a
public speaker and attorney, would
be able to secure the position. .
There was a wet blanket thrown
over the office seekers when Postmas-
ter General Burleson announced post
masters with good records would not
be thrown out till the end of their
They feared this would be
the policy of the entire Wilson ad-
ministration, but the action of the de-
partment of justice in letting out Nc
to make room for Hildreth and
that of Secretary of the Interior Lane
in demanding that the registers of
the land offices give the administra-
ton, has aroused hope in the hearts of
The waiting partisans. They are
quite convinced that to the victors
should be given the fat federal jobs.
1t is quite possible the first radical
shake up will be in the land Office po-
as there is said to be a more
active campaign waged for those
than any other in the state,
it be a few choice postoffices.

North Dakota and Northwest News
MEDICS
RESENT CHARGE

Fargo, n. D.. June lS.-Tho mcdics
of Fargo resent the broad charge made
at the national convention, now in
session in Minnpealois, that North
Dakota is one of the half a dozen
worst states in the west for fee spit
ting by the doctors. The charges are
made that physicians in Crank Forks
and Fargo divide fees with country
doctors who send patients here. The
doctors, on the contrary, assert that
many Of the smaller towns are with
out hospital facilities, and Of aces
.sity the patient are brought here
when operations are to be performed.
They insi@t that for FEARS an effort
has been made to wipe out the fee
splitting pra CtiCC, and that the charges
made in NJ nncapolis are unjust and
unfair.
