VALLEY CITY
HAS SCULPTOR
PAUL FJELDE, 21 YEARS OLD.
STUDYING WITH
&f& TAFT, .a..g

Valley City, N. D.. Aug. 29.-That
Valley City is the home of young
sculptor whose work will one day
equal the best that America has ever
given to the world, is the opinion of
those who have watched the develop
ment OF Paul Fjelde. who has for,
several years made his. home here
with his mother and family.
That those who have been SO favor
ably impressed with his work are not
alone in their opinion is evidenced by
the fact that dorado Taft, probably
the greatest authority in the United
Staes as critic and sculptor, has not
only taken Mr.. F'jelde into his own,
studios and given him employment
and instruction, but has declared that
IN him there Is a genius which will
give the world art greater than any
American has seen until now.
Paul F1elde, who was born 21 yeara
ago in Minneapolis. comes naturally
by his talent His father, Jacob Fjelde.
rs known as one of the great sculptors
Of the United States.
From his early youth the young,
man took naturally to sculpture but
until coming to Valley City he had lit
tie opportunity to develop his natural
genius. The art department of the
state normal school recognized the
merit of his work, however, and every
EOpPClIdtA1GS WAS given MIN To Obtain
practical instruction.
Soon busts Of various models began
to- make their appearance, and 1t was.
not long before those who recognized
real art realized that here was /, 4.
young man with real and unusual tai
ent in his line. His first work Of any
Importance was a bust of George IL
Mcfarland. president Of the state nors
NAL school. This was followed bp
other models, and when dorado Tafe
saw his work and expressed desirS
to give F!elde instruction in his Chic
cago studio, his life work was deter
mined. Nd S q Si
This summer Mr.. Fielde has been
largely engaged In the modelling Of the
bust Of =. $. Platou. mayor Of Valley
City, which will be cast in bronze and
placed in position at the city hall tSs
commemorate the mayors connection
with the new water system of the

long Time Aaitated.

Today, President Mackall Of the
commercial club. referring to the con-
summation Of all the requirements for
the establishing of the county high
way between Moorhead, Sabin, Baker
and GAINESVILLE. said that the first
agitation for the construction of such
a highway was begun in the early
eighties. thirty years ago, when far
seeing pioneers saw the benefits from
it for Moorhead and the southern part
of the county of Clay. At the time
Mr.. Mackall was county auditor and
w. H. Davy was a member of the
board of county commissioners. The
road was not possible then, nor for
many years on account of the expense.
but now with state aid the thing is
quite easy.

it will show a handsome profit. Al
trader who is bullish on September
and December corn, says he believes
corn prices will be lower in last half
than in the first half of the crop sea-

by September holders will be over

DURING the year which terminated
with the beginning of the new year,
the immense sum of $3.50, OOO, 600 was
given to benevolencies by millionaires
in this country, yet we near a great
deal from Mr.. Roosevelt and other men
of his class, socialistic reformers, about
the dangers of large fortunes. Great
fortunes exist all must admit, but the
possessors of the same are making
generous use of the same, as is evident
by the large sums given away and the
pension systems inaugurated by many
CORPORATIONS for the benefit of their
EMPLOYEES and their families.

A Beginning of An End.

By starting the work of electrifying
$50 miles of it's mountain section, the
Chicago, Milwaukee q Puget Sound
railway is marking the beginning of
the end of steam as the power IN land
transportation.
The Great Falls Power company has
lust received the consent of the secre-
tary of the interior to it's application
for a right to transmit power from the
Missouri river over government owned
lands to the various points on the line
of the Puget Sound railway, and the
work of identification has been started.
It has long been realized by electri-
clans that the time would come when
the deI elopment of hydrogenerators, of
transmission systems, and electric mo-
tors would make them more economical
than the steam engines so long in use.
This has been working out. Now
wherever waterpowers can be devel-
oped electricity is the cheapest and
most efficient power. That also rules
within transmission distance of the
generating plant, matter of several
hundred miles.
This change is gradually coming
maybe not so gradually, either. One
difficulty in making the change IS the
doing away with the expensive steam
equipment now in use. It's value must
be worked out to the point where it
will be economy to "scrap" it. But it
is coming. Once in while some old
railroader says never" But there is
no ''never" in modern development.

OVER three thousand tests and ex-
aminations for tuberculosis, diphtheria,
typhoid, rabies and other diseases have
been made at the state hygienic labora-
tory of the University of Wisconsin
during the last six months. The total
number was 3,046 and included 1,O9l
tests for tuberculosis, CAB for diphtheria,
$50 for typhoid and 40 for rabies. In
addition there were 431 water exam
nations and 272 miscellaneous tests
made. Fifty-six of the samples re-
ceived from physicians and health Of
ficers arrived in such poor condition
that they could not be examined.

RELATIVE to taxes, the governor, in
his message to the legislature, makes
recommendation of striking character
= that all underground minerals be
taxed whether or not they may be I'M
dergoing extraction. The point he
makes is good. Timber standing on
the surface is taxed regularly; there
fore why likewise should not be prop
erty below the surface? If anything
like an equitable approximation may be
made of the value of these subterra-
mean deposits the business of the pro-
jected taxation logically cannot be
questioned. The governor would go
slow respecting modification of the in
come tax law. Wisely he would wait
to have defects and changes better by
experience. He gives no impression of
being afraid of the law, yet probably
he realizes that it is ticklish thing
that must be handled in gingerly fash
ion. His recommendation is for nom
interference by the legislature, and his
advice runs directly counter to the eX-
pressed desire of the state tax COM
mission itself regarding the taxation of
personal property. He demands that
personal property be left in its present
status; the commission urges that it be
exempted wholly. The governor well
knows that the multifarious and grow
ing demands for money by the state
government will make necessary the
procurement of vast sums by taxation,
and naturally he is reluctant to see slip
away any method or means by which
revenues may be obtained. The law of
course in many cases entails grievous
wrong. 1t takes no account of the ups
and downs of business. By means of
it the state mercilessly squeezes the
merchant and manufacturer in years
when he is prosperous, when his re-
ceipts exceed expenditures, but 1t new
er comes to his rescue in those inevi-
table years, frequently recurring, when
the profit and loss account is at equillb-
rum, or worse. The income tax ques-
ton is far from settled. Even the fed
eral government soon is to participate
in the final adjustment of that great
issue. When Wisconsin citizens are
obliged to pay government income
tax-like the people of all other states
will be paying-and local income tax
in addition, there can be no doubt OF
the existence then of the unrest in
Wisconsin which will be almost revolu-
tionary. Governor McGovern may be
influenced somewhat in his inclination
toward inaction respecting this law by
the tendency of federal legislation on
the same matter.-Madison Democrat.

WISCONSIN is fortunate in having
again as governor one who is always
unfaiIingly and uncomprOmisingly for
progress. Governor McGovern is a
tried and true executive. Most wisely
the state has held him at the helm. =
State Journal, Jan. 1st.
Governor McGovern inaugurates his
second administration with pitiably
petty mess. His movements are obvi-
ously actuated by small and personal
prejudices rather than by any sound
and statesmanlike reasoning. He has
ordered State Commissioner of Insur-
ance Ekern out of office. State Jour-
nal, Jan. 9Th.
Governor McGovern's consuming self
ishness and egotism has run riot with
his reason. His order to throw Com

ado, not a statesman. He can't Bull

THE state board of control will ask
from this Legislature the appropriation
for two new institutions. One of the
institutions which is desired is new
home for the feeble minded and the
other women's reformatory. 1t is
not the intention to ask for the appro-
priation for the building for the home
for the feeble minded at this time, but
only sufficient amount for the pur-
chase of a site. 1t is expected that it
will take fully two years to prepare for
the building of this institution and the
next legislature will he asked to fur
nish the funds. The women's reform
atory is, however, desired at once.
The board members say that such an
institution is absolutely needed If Wis
consin is to give anything like proper
care to women offenders.
