Report on Canal Work
Shows Water Supply
For Year Abundant

F. P. Willard, under whose name
the work on the canal system below
the international line is being done,
was in town today and stated that at
last he was able to say, if no unlocked
for contingency should arise, the ca
nails will be in shape during the COM
ing year to furnish to the valley all
the water that can be used.
The great expansion of the irri
gated area had made it doubtful
whether this could be done, but Mr..
Willard says the work in hand will
be completed this month, with the
exception of the dredging, while three
dredges are now at work and fourth
will be within ten days.

N. Perry to the mutual water COM

Of affairs. The hull, which is
sheathed with 6x12 planking, has ap-
parently two runs of these planking
so rotten that in some spots only one
half inch of the original six inches
is sound wood Other parts of the
hull are affected, but the exact eX-
tent of the deterioration cannot be
definitely ascertained until the dredger
is dry docked. This docking will of
itself be an expensive undertaking
since the dock will have to be con-
structed. | estimate the cost as be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000, which is il
addition to the cost of the actual re-
pairs to the hull.
We are now arranging to build in
side the hull a temporary bulllheaC
and that completed, will try to tinist
the cut on which we are now engaged

Four popular rivals passed the
400,0OO-vote mark yesterday and it
looks like close race between them
for the capital prize Hupmobile, but
as contestants have sometimes gained
as much as $4,000 to 100000 votes
in one day it is still possible that one
of the candidates further down in
the score list may lead the whole
list within a few days. Some can
didates are more interested in the win
ming of the automobile on the last
day than they are in heading the list
each day, and are building up big
reserve of votes for use at the end of
the contest.
Big Subscriptions Coming.
Subscriptions for full year terms
have been the rule throughout the con-
test but recently large number of
1ig subscriptions have been volun-
teered. Two-year subscriptions are
received in large numbers, while last
week there were probably a dozen for
five-year periods: Candidates with
friends who will give them five-year
subscriptions are fortunate indeed.

The highest bidder will have thirty
days within which to make redemp-
! tion. In speaking of the new law to-
/ day, County Auditor Carey said:
ain old established counties, this
revised statute would not make any
material difference, but where so
many new townsites, subdivisions and
tracts have been opened up and sold
| to strangers, every opportunity pre-
sents itself to some designing person
to grab some choice parcels of prop
erty. If the 10000 taxes were de-
linquent and the subsequent taxes paid,
the property, when put up for sale
in the absence of the owner, would
naturally and by process of law go
to the highest bidder and, despite any
action on the part of the former own
er, he could not regain deed to his
land or property.
"This matter was one of the main
points discussed at the recent county
auditors convention and it is now
causing widespread alarm in various
sections of the state. 1t is not dras-
tic, but is much different from the
old law, and unless land owners are
acquainted with its provisions dire
results are likely to ensue," added Mr..
Carey.
One section introduces new pro-
visions and is intended to protect tax
sold property against despoilations.
When lands have been sold to the
state, no owner or claimant shall re-.
move or destroy any building, fixture
or other appurtenance.
One of the most radical changes
in the law is that up to five years
after date of sale to the state ali
proceedings will be taken as hereto
fore; but in the advertisement of the
delinquent list for that year the prop
erty which has been delinquent for
that period is to be distinguished from
other property, but no bid is to be
accepted which is for less than the
sum of taxes, interest and penalties.
After a bid on that basis has been
made and accepted, the right of re-
demption will cease except as to the
purchaser, who will have thirty days.
Condensed and to the point, Audi
tor Carey stated that if 10000 taxes
were delinquent, property owners
stood very fine chance of losing their
lands and buildings if the matter was
not investigated. -.

FACTS and FIGURES
ABOUT FORD CARS
Shipped 1896 Cars from Factory
During Month of January Make
Record Output

Detroit, Michigan. January is not
supposed to show the high water mark
of production in the automobile world,
but nevertheless the first month of 1914
shows the largest output of any month
in the entire history of the Ford Motor
Company. During the month of Jan
uary this year, the Ford Motor Company
built and shipped 1886 cars. The
largest output previous to this was
June, 1913. when the number of cars
made and shipped reached the total of
22,O49.
These figures show how the Ford
business is growing even beyond the
extraordinary proportion it reached last
season. To achieve such production
figures every department and every
executive. in a sense, had to grow too.
The Ford plant is constantly adding
new machines and devices. constantly
testing new systems and methods to
diminish the labor, speed up the opera
lions, to save time, energy and the like.
In this way only can production keep
pace with business. These time and
labor saving systems land some remark
ably interesting ones have recently been
adopted) form some of the most fascinat-
ing features for visitors to inspect.

the chance that some of you who suffer
from indigestion. heartburn, dyspepsia,
or some other stomach complaint, don't
know about them-we are writing this.
They contain Blsmuth and Pepsin,
two of the greatest digestive aids known
to medical science. They soothe and
comfort the stomach: promote the secre-
ton of gastric juice, help to quickly
digest the food and convert it into rich,
red blood, and improve the action of the
bowels. We believe them to be the
best remedy made for indigestion and
dyspepsia. We certainly wouldn't offer
them to you entirely at our risk unless
we felt sure they would do you a lot of
good. If Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets do
not relieve your Indigestion, check the

to eat what you like whenever you like,

LECTURE COURSE
SEASON CLOSES
| Dean French of Medical School at
State gu" Talks Pertinent on
School Sanitation.

The lecture courSe season closed Fri
day evening. Dean French of the
Medical School of the University of
North Dakota gave the last number.
He WAS requested to give a general in
troductory speech pertinent to the mat
ter of medical inspection, school santa
ton and the general welfare of the
child.
His speech dealt with all of these
matters: in addition it was instructive
in a higher degree because DR.. French
traced the growth of medical inspection
in the schools of the U. S., described its
development, gave statistics pertinent to
the facts, and finally showed how the
child should be given a square deal. how
the state should be benefited by avoid
ing the propagation OF more detectives
and how this should be started IN the
first grade of the school.
The details, as to the discovery of
%adenoids, enlarged %tonsils, defective
| vision and hearing and how these may
be remedied gave the patrons a lesson
which should cause immediate action on
the part of teachers and patrons to CO.
operate in aiding the child.
The lecture course barely paid ex-
penses. In other words, it might have
been better patroniZed. The numbers
we're the best eyer given here they say.
The talent, if more expensive talent is
desired, can be secured only on the as.
surance of heartier support than was
manifested the past season. Sugges-
tions as to Improvements of such a
course are always welcome: if Langdon
desires a better course next winter, let
all get together and boost as only boost
ers can.
