Many Land Buyers
will Come to This
State In the Spring
VALLEY CITY MAN WRITES THAT
BOOM IN NORTH DAKOTA LAND
is CERTAIN THIS YEAR.

Ed. Lum, of the E. D. Lum Land
Company, who is spending several
weeks in Michigan and Illinois, inter-
esting prospective purchasers in
North Dakota lands, writes to the
Times Record that North Dakota will
experience an influx of buyers larger
than in several years.
1t is stated by Mr.. Lum that the
state has recovered with remarkable
rapidity from the set back which the
poor crops of the last Two years have
given it. The. work of the Better
Farming Association, and the improv-
ed methods Of farming which have re-
suited have been widely heralded
through the states Of the Middle
West.
In illinois and Michigan, there are
large numbers Of renters who are
making cash payments for rented
land which they would be glad to ap'
ply on the purchase OF North Dakota
land If they could get it at reason
able figure. They are beginning to
realize that North Dakota is no long.
er q one crop state, and that with pro
per cultivation the land will yield
crops equal in size and value to those
of the older states in which they are
now living.
It is expected that there will be a
large number Of buyers in the state as
soon as winter breaks up and the
farms of the state can be fairly pass
ed upon.

WEBB LIQUOR BILL HITS NORTHWEST;
SHIPMENTS TO DEALERS PROHIBITED
AL ShipmentS To Be Offered for Sale May Be-
Seized By State Authorities ..lndlvldua|
Shipments legal.

use. The senator said: ".The Webb
act does not prohibit a Minneapolis
liquor dealer from sending whiskeS
into the Dakotas for personal use. The
reason is that neither these state nor
any oher has ever prohibited the per-
sonal use of liquor, and they never
will. To prohibit such use would be
unconstitutional.
IF, however, such a prohibition
should be enacted into law, and should
say that no man might have liquor
in his house for the use of his fam
lily, and that law could be found CON
stitutional, then the Webb law woul6
bar the shipment Of liquor in inter
state commerce from entering that
mans house.
The exact truth about this lgisls-
ion is this: The Wepp act makes the
interstate shipment of liquor amenable
absolutely to the laws of the separate
states, whatever these laws may be.
At present there are different laws In
different states regulating the sale
and manufacture of liquor within their
borders. Therefore the Webb act is
general in it's application.
"The act is clearly constitutional,
too, for the reason that congress has
an absolute and defined right to regE-
late interstate commerce. If congress-
chose to declare liquor as a contra
band of commerce, then it would be
so declared and the supreme court
would sustain it,
1t is very certain that the liquor in
terests will carry the new law to the
supreme court, where decision prob
ably will not be handed down for
couple of years unless, under the new
rules, the case can be expedated. The
opinion of as good lawyer as Presi-
dent Taft that the bill is at least OF
doubtful constitutionality in which be-
lief he is backed by other lawyers OF
equal ability, and the opinion of other
good lawyers that the unconstitution-

measure, Cashier Fl. NJ. Stroud, also
wired to A. E. Darkenwaid confirm
ing the telegram to the bank, that the
money had been sent, and the mes
saSeS were sent over the 500 Tele-
graph line, instead of the Western
Union over which line the request
came. This precaution no doubt saved
the bank at Newport, Kentucky, the
loss Of the money and was the means
of catching the forger, as the message
was delivered to the real A. E. Dark

BEFORE SMALL AUDIENCE At

<From Fridays Daily
Before small but appreciative au-
dience at the Armory last night, Carl
,Mattson of Minneapolis and Chris.
Person of Fargo worked out in fast
thirty minute bout, which ended
without either man maving gained a
fall.
The match was originally scheduled
for the two best out of three, but ow-
ing to the small house, and the fact
that the men were both under heavy
expense in coming here, it was decid-
ed to put a time limit on the wrestling
both men going the limit during the
time they wrestled, rather than
stretching the bout during two falls.
The work of both men was fast, and
for the time of the match, nothing
better or as fast has ever been seen
in the city. Mattson was the strong
er4 and faster of the two, but Person
showed remarkable activity in wrig-
Cling out Of dangerous positions, and
the excitement never waned.
Mattson and Person both showed a
tendency to rough it at times and dur.
ing the thirty minutes Of wrestling
there is not a doubt but that it was
for blood all of the way.
In spite of the fact that the crowd
last night was small, it has been de-
cided to hold another match here next
month, when Dr.. lB. #. Roller has been
secured, and will 60 on either with
Person or Mattson.
DR.. Roller is unique figure in the
wrestling world, physician by pro.
fession, who took up wrestling for the
love of the game, and has made of 1t
a tremendous success. At present he
is in Los Angeles, but will appear here
