they became confused and were
una BILE to stop it. The locomc.

boys jumped.
Engineer Charles Langley and
Conductor Grams, in charge of a

engine bearing down upon them.
Langley started his engine back

Shall We Have Prohibition ?

The question which presents
itself to every voter is Shall we
have prohibition or shall
we have speak-easies, travelling
bar-rooms, &c. The statement
that prohibition does not pro-
hibit is simply begging the ques-
ton. Prohibition does prohibit
wherever we have honest public
officials. If the sentiments OF
the people of a community be in
favor OF prohibition, the law can
b. enforced to the same extent
"a are the laws against stealing,
r .bbery, murder, &c.
Because an occasional murder
i, committed, or a Post Office
ribbed, or woman assaulted
lall we repeal all laws against
these offenses and license the Of
tenders, in order to get state
revenue :?
Shall we continue to assist in
depriving children OF food and
clothing, and attempt to coin
the tears of starving mothers
into state revenue =? These are
questions which should engage
the serious attention of every
voter. The man who sells wills.

full responsibility, but is his re-
sponsibilty any greater than that
of the man who votes to permit
him to sell slow acting poisons
in order that the state may in
crease its revenues P?
The state is the instrument in
the hands of the individu al vot-
ers, and every citizen becomes d
partner in the nefarious business,
and indirectly gets his share OF
the profits.

The fair management this year
has provided the very best Of
free attractions to be given IN
front of the grandstand. Eight
exhibitions of acrobatic, hazard
Gus and comic acts will be given
daily in front of the grandstand
These acts include the four Ev-
eretts, acknowledged to be IN the
very front rank of acrobatic per-
formers. Piccini and CLAUDIO and
Dobbs and Reynolds, both very
fine comical acts.
The star attraction will be
De Volo Smithson, a hazardous
act, which has attacted worlC-
wide attention. This act is call
ed "circling the chasm," and is
a great thriller. Miss Smithson
rides a bicycle from the top of a
platform nearly eighty feet high.
and while going at a high rate
of speed jumps over break IN
the platform of nearly 40 feet.
The fair management has very
carefully selected the free at
fractions this year and PROMISE
that all the acts given will be
entertaining and interesting.
AS usual, the Winchester fail
expects U. S. Troops to camp or
the grounds and give daily drills.
This year an effort is being made
with the assistance of Congress
man James Hay to secure an ar
tillery troop, and in that case an
artillery charge will be one OF
the most interesting features OF
the fair.
For the first time tue Win
chester fair this year will have
night exhibitions on September
8, 9 and 10. Admittance will be
entirely free on the first night,
September s. On September 9
and 10 and entrance fee of 25
cents will be charged. All chi
dren under II years and all con-
veyanceS will be admitted free
at night.
On Wednesday and Thursda y
nights, ma gnificent firework dis
plays will be given in front OF
the grandstand.
The grounds will be brilliant
ly lighted. The fair manage
ment expect this innovation 10
meet with great favor.
The old exhibition building
having been destroyed by tile
windstorm last March, the new
exhibition building already ready
for the occasion is a model for a
building of this nature, and for
conveniences and grace is not
surpassed by any of the larger
fairs.
This building was especially
designed to meet present, up-to-
date requirements and full space
will De provided for all exhibits.
Premiums in many depart
meuts have been increased ard
many of the society's premium s
supplemented by valuable special
premiums offered by outside
firms.
Eight handsome silver cups
are offered.
Two new and distinct depart
ments have been added this year
the egg and juvenile depart
mentS.
By offering especially attrac-
tive premiums in the juvenile de-
partnlent, the society is making
great effort to make this de-
partnent especially attractive TO
boys and girls under IA years of
age.
Mr.. w. L. Fultz. the superin-
tendent of grounds, reports that
his office is flooded with requests

ARE SUPERCEDED

Mandan, N. D., Aug. 1.-The North
Dakota tax commission has issued an
order reviewing and superceding the
actions of the board of review and the
county board of equalization in this
county. Many complaints were made
to them that certain properties in
Morton county were under assessed
and on July % the commission spent
an entire day in the city of Mandan
and examined many witnesses as to
the value and the relative values of
property, especially in the city OF
Mandan. They cited some of the banks
to appear with their books and exam
ined carefully the property which has
been placed upon the assessment rolls
by their field men and as q result,
they raised the assessment on several
classes OF property which will result
in a very large increase In the revenue
of Morton county. On the leased sites
alone in the city OF Mandan their ac-
tion will increase the revenue in the
city for the current year BY approx
mately $4,000.

WiHiston, N. d., Aug. 3.-The farm
ers under the project to the north of
Williston have just awakened to the
fact that more water on the land just
now will increase the yield of our al
ready bountiful crop. Requests have
come in rapidly for water in the past
tree or four days and the u. s.. r. S.
~force%is working overtime to supply
the demand. Four boilers are in use;
ninety-seven tons Of coal were put in
the bunkers Friday and it is safe to
say that the consumption is from nine :
ty to ,ninety-five tom a day. Acting
Project. Manager Arthur has been up
on the north end of the project for the
past four days superintending the get
ting of water around the bend. An
additional force of twelve men, fire.
men and miscellaneous laborers have
been put on and all reclamation serv-
ice employees are busy and happy. 1t
is grand thing for the farmers up the
valley to have water at hand when
this hot weather comes on. ,

PRES. HANNAFORD
BOOSTS N. D.

Mandan, N. D., Aug. 3.-Pres. J. M.
|Hannaford passed through Mandan on
his way to the coast. Mr.. Hannaford,
like other Northern Pacific officials
here last week, is very much encour
aged over the excellent prospects / n
western North Dakota and expressed
the belief that as a result of the big
crop there will be "a large influx of
people to this section. He was very
much interested in the war news and
complimented. Mandan on having a
live daily newspaper to keep the apeo-
pie Of this section informed with what
is doing. ... e.. .,
Mr., Hannaford, when asked as to
the status of the strike question: said
he had. no information, but he ex-
pressed the hope that there would be
no strike. He said this was a most
inopportune time for the men to ask
the advances they had, for. there has
been a falling off in earnings and bus
mess conditions over the country were
not good.
