Drought in q verdict Of $3.50 for the
defendant. This. wal a case wherein
q railroad wanted, more land along
their right Of way just east Of FAIR
view. The road crossed the LaBeck
farm and the government irrigation
ditch 2 along the south and eastern
ends OF the place. The railroad had
n ditch changed to cut across the
western end Of the farm, cutting on
about seven and . half acres and then
going down along their right Of way
on the north side. The change was
made as they did not want the ditch
cutting across the east end where they
would have so many tracks near the
round house. In the suit they asked
TOR tho seven and q half acres cut or
by the change made in the ditch. The
defendant claimed that this cut his
farm up 80 badly rs to greatly dam
age it. The jury awarded him the
$3.50 as pay for tho seven and q half
acres and damages besides.

WllBTON CLUB
GETS Good START
Commercial Organization Of
That City Proposes Active
Work This Year.

Wiliston, n. D., Jan. 24.-The dircc.
tors of the Williston Commercial club
held their first regular meeting since
organizing for the new year. They
decided to follow the custom Of the
preceding year and hold their meet
ings at the dinner hour. Each d.
rector. rs was the case during the
past year, takes his dinner at his own
expense with his fellows on this 9
ing. instead Of at home. During the
dinner hour discussion of club mat
tiers. in fact anything pertaining to
the clubs activities is in order. After
dinner the more formal work Is taken
up.
The club is assisting the farmers
excursion by arrangements Tor h
care and entertainment of farmers
while in Wisconsin.
During the past week the board OF
directors met with the county COM
missioners and urged favorable action
on a petition which they presented to
the board, asking to have the county
gravel the road to the east Of the
city between the fair grounds and the
Muddy bridge and fill the approaches
to the bridge. The county commits
%sioncrs decided that this work should
be done and ordered q survey OF the
same and bids for the work called
for.
Committees were appointed at this
meeting to look up the matter Of
club calenders, club rooms. hospital
and the d%isplacing Of gasoline power
and light in the city by electricity.
This latter matter is one Of vital i'm
terest to the city. With the most adj
~vantageous production Of electricity
enjoyed by any city Of the state with
the government plant at our very
door. with the cheap rate we pay the
government for power and light, a
rate should be given u people that
will put every gasoline power and
light plant in the city out OF business.
The commercial club has started an
investigation to determine at what
rate electricity will have to be fur
nishcd in order to induce all users Of
power and light to put aside gasoline
and have the additional use of such
light and power make up to the city
Tor the reduced rate.
