Bismarck, May 26.-There is no init
nation as yet when the supreme court
will hand. down an opinion in the case
of the state tax commission which
will remain in force and draw salaries
and expense money or whether, the
commission is to be abolished.
The matter reached the supreme
court on mandamus proceedings when
State Auditor Jorgenson refused to
pay the April salaries Of the three
members of the commission on the
ground that the governor had vetoed
the appropriation created for the COM
mission by the legislature.
The commission contends that their
salaries shall be paid out Of the gen.
eral fund. The court had long list
of cases before it and as the tax con-.
mission is towards the end of the list
it may be two weeks before this de-
cision is announced. -. ~. ...

VACANT LOTS WILL BE, UTILIZED
APPLY At ONCE IF YOU
WANT "A GARDEN PLOT.

The Commercial club committee in
charge Of the gardening on vacant
> lots, has secured number of choice
locations for gardens. These will be
divided into plots, the sizes of same
depending upon the number of appli-
cations received. 1t is desired that as
many of the children be supplied
with lots as possible. After they have
been supplied, adults will be given the
remainder for vegetable gardens. The
smaller plots may be used for grow
ing Towering plants, or for growing
vegetables. The crop raised becomes
the property of the one who has car
ed for it during the growing season.
All that will be required is that the
plot allotted be cared for acceptably.
All applications for garden space
should pe in the hands of the commit
tee at the earliest possible moment.
1t is probable that a few more vacant
lots can be utilized for gardening.
Owners of such lots are requested to
communicate with some members of
the committee. The interests of the
property owner will be amply guard
ed by the committee.
Applications for space may be made
either to NJ. c. James, Ernest Hilborn,
or Mirris Johnson. 1t is preferred
that these applications be made eth.

While driving last night about
three quarters of mile east of Lanona
an automobile belonging to Carl Kink
drove so close to bank that the earth
gave way and the machine dropped
about six feet and pinioned the oc-
cupants Carl King, Olaf Olstad and
Peter Jorgenson under it killing the
later, Olstad escaped alive but it is
feared that besides dislocated shout
der that he may have sustained inter-
nal injuries. The driver, Carl King
was badly bruised but escaped and
went for help. "
The accident occurred about $3.50 in
the evening or just after the lights
were lit but was not discovered until
about midnight. When King regain
ed his senses after the fall he at
tempted to open a door and get out
from under the overturned machine
but failing in this dug his way Under
the machine with his hands and fin
ally crawled out He called to his
companions but failing to gain any
response supposed they were dead so
left and went for help. It Is suppos-
ed he must have still been dazed as
he passed four houses and finally
stopped at the home of William Ad-
cock where help was secured. When
the party returned about a. m. it
was found that Olstad had regained
his senses but Jorgenson was dead
evidently having been almost instant
ly killed. His chest was crushed by
the back of the seat and he probably
died from strangulation
Dr. Van Houton was called at 1880
and took charge of the injured men
who are now resting easily at their
homes where they were taken after
they were released from the machine.
Just how the accident happened
seems to be little vague but it is
said that the men were driving west
and failed to turn onto road leading
north and did not discover their mis-
take until they came to turn that
took them over the railroad as soon
as they were across the track they
evidently backed the machine up to
turn around and came so close to the
edge of the gravel pit that the bank
caved off with the unfortunate results
above stated. The gravel pit is on
railroad ground and very close to the
road and undoubtedly should have
been protected with fence but had

Early in the year 1905, at meeting
held by Barnes county farmers tribu'
tary to Valley City, it was found to
be the sense of the meeting to build a
cooperative elevator; and on January
the 91st the company was incorporat.
ed, and began at once to solicit sub
scriptions, L. a. Wood and William
Schulz being appointed to perform
that duty. .....
On organization Seymour Granger
was made president, William Schulz,
vice president, o. P. Emerson, John
Alderman, A. II. Davidson, Louis Mol
timer and Paul Messner Jr. were the
seven first directors.
The elevator was built and complet-
ed in time to start business in August
of that year, and success has attended
the company from the start; and with
the years it has grown to be recogniz-
ed in the commercial agencies, as one
OF the strongest cooperative cOmpan-
les in the northwest.
The company's charter allows them
to carry on the business of buying
and selling of grain, fuel, feed, -four,
machinery live stock and merchan-
disc; the company's capital stock is
100000 but it is understood that a
very small portion of this amount was
paid in, or subscribed. The officers of
the company, and those connected
with the organization believe that the
objects for which the company was
organized, have been attained, and it's
success is beyond their fondest hopes.
BY averaging the grain receipts for
the last eight years, the company has
handled over two hundred thousand
bushels of grain each year. It was de-
cided in the year 1906 to enter the coal
business, and this department has in.
creased steadily each year, and at. the
close of their fiscal year at this time

they find, that they have handled over
5000 tons of all grades of coal.
| The company is now making extern
sive improvements, 30 as to more
properly take care of their increasing
trade in the different departments the
approach and exit of the elevator
have been lowered some three feet, so
as to make it much easier to drive in
with load, etc The offices have
been moved to the sidewalk line, and
q new addition is being built on the
west side of the present elevator, the
new addition is being built on posts
, twelve feet high, so as to make more
floor space to facilitate the cleaning
OF grain. The manager informs us
that they will run two cleaners, one
, especially for fax, and the other for
coarse grain, gasoline engine power
has been discarded, and two up-to-
date alternating motors will be in
stalled, which will probably be the
first operated alternating motors in
Valley City.
The present officers of the company
are some of the substantial farmers
in this section of the county, all pio-
11eers and well known. They are as
follows: President, John Alderman;
vice president, Andrew Davidson;
secretary, E. B. Stull; directors,
Frank Heimes, George Stiles, CLAUS
Kjelland, Louis NoMimier and Paul
Messner, Jr.
J. H. S. Thomson has been the
manager ever since the company be-
gan business, and the success of the
enterprise is directly due. to his ef-
forts, Mr. Thomson says that grain is
handled on as close a margin in Val
ley City, if not closer than any grain
market in the northwest, and that it
is Valley City that largely governs the
prices paid by the neighboring towns.

just as he does! feel as though only
the present, with it's living joys and
problems, was worth thinking about.
After you are married, life looms so
much bigger than literature and the
art of loving seems the only art
worth learning.
Dick is very fond of nature, and on
our way to the Clermont, where we
went in hanson cab, because 1
wanted to ride in one of those old
fashioned vehicles, he filled his lungs
with the clear morning air and said:
Say, Margie, isn't this better than
sitting in an old musty church?"
The woods were Gods first tenn
pies, +" ! quoted softly, for we were
driving under an archway of eIms.
Yes, that's it." almost whispered
Dick as he put his hand over mine;
that is the way 1 feel about it. 1
don't want you to think, dear, that
have no sentiment, because can't be
sentimental. The thing like best
about you, sweetheart, is your ideal
ity and real goodness. Pm no saint,
Margie, and I've often thought since
we have been married that if we have
any kids ! want them to be just like
their mother"
Just then we arrived at the Cler-
mont Inn, where could not eat any
of the beefsteak which Dick ordered,
for all the time my heart was repeat
ing over and over again the dear
words that Dick had just been saying
to me.

like to do the thing Dick likes, he
seldom thinks he would find any fun
in doing the thing like.
Yesterday proposed going to the

said: Great Scott, Madge, what's
the good of using up our time looking
at the work of a lot of men and wo-
men, the most of whom are dead?
