BRILLIANT LIGHT
ACROSS THE SKY
REMARKABLE PHENOMENA WIT.
MESSED IN THE COUNTY
THIS WEEK.

Milton e. Allen, the well known
stock buyer and farmer, observed
this morning at 3 o'clock a remarka-
BILE phenomena in the skies and has
in vain sught some explanation Of
it. Mr.. Allen says that at about the
hour mentioned his slumbers were
disturbed by brilliant light in the
heavens; that upon going out into
the yard to Investigate he discovered
in the horizon brilliant bow of light,
apparently about the width Of a rain.
bow stretching across from northeast
to southwest. Although not the
shape of rainbow the circle Of light
or bow was apparently Of about that
size, but unlike a rainbow both the
head and foot reached below the
trees to the sky line. Mr.. Allen awak-
ened the other members of the fami.
ly in order that they might have the
opportunity to witness the view, one
of the most beautiful and brilliant
penomenas, he says, that he ever saw.
Others state that they saw the light
at the hour mentioned, but failing to
investigate did not see all that Mr.
Allen saw.

NJ PROMISE FOR
BETTER WEATHER
ALTHOUGH THE MOON Is SAID
TO HAVE CHANGED TO A
WET ONE.

There is no hope of relief from the
weather, that is not for long time
to come. The weather man holds out
no sort Of promise for any immedi
ate change; on the contrary he de
lclares that the hot and dry weather
lis to continue indefinitely.
Those who still cling to the age
lold idea that the moon effects the
weather have, however, taken cour-
age. The moon changed couple of
nights ago and though there was no
change in the weather, unless it has
been a bit more SO since that time
and getting worse, it is claimed by
the moonologists that old Luna" un-
like Tennessee. will be "wet" this
month. In other words the "orb OF
night" was discovered lying fiat upon
its back, just like the republicans say
old Gen. Prosperity is lying, and that
means that it Is full of water. Wheth-
er or not it will remain in that condi-
ton during the coming four weeks
or divide its wetnass with the farmers
of Maury county, thereby winning
their everlasting gratitude, remains
one of the problems of the future.

The Governor has been an earnest
advocate of good roads and believes
that proposition can be worked out
by which the state can spend very
large amount Of money in the build
ing of roads and at the same time not
take one dollar from the people by d.
rect taxation. His proposition is this:
that the auto license fund of the state
should not be distributed back to the
counties as it is at present. The
state should issue million dollars of
road bonds; these road bonds should
be taken by the School Fund Of the
state. 1t would take about four years
to put plan Of this kind into opera
ton. The auto license fund now am
cunts to fifty-four thousand dollars
and it is estimated that within four
years it will amount to one hundred
thousand dollars per year and this
fund should be used to pay the prin-
cipal and interest of the road bonds.
If we issue million dollars of road
bonds, then the interest on the road
bonds at four per cent would be forty
thousand dollars year and this would
leave sixty thousand dollars each year
to go toward the retirement of the
principle of the bonds, and if we retire
some of the bonds each year, so as to
keep cutting down the annual interest,
in thirteen years the road bonds can be
paid, principal and interest, and en-
tirely from the auto license money,
and unless a man owned an auto, he
would not have paid a single penny
toward this large sum of money for
the betterment of the roads. This mil
lion dollars issue for the purpose of
building trunk lines of road in our
state, would be of infinite value to our
farmers and business men and in ad-
dition. probably within short time
we will get money from the federal
government to aid in the building of
roads. In fact a bill is now pending
in Congress which will give one dol
lar to the state for every dollar that
the state would meet the federal gov
ernment's dollar with, SO in all prob
ability we would have two millions to
spend on our roads instead Of one mil
lion; and remember, the money would
be spent in North Dakota under an
expert highway commissioner and the
larger part of the money would be
earned by our own people,

Martin j. Engeseth, the republican

Martin j. Engeseth, the republican
nominee for register Of deeds, is the
logical man for the position. The re-
suit Of the recent primaries is the
strongest recommendation that could
possibly be given him, when he de-
feated the present incumbent, Gunder
S. Reishus, who has long been consid-
cred by democrats and republicans
alike, as one Of the most efficient reg
lister of deeds in the state. When he
announced his candidacy his friends in
all parts of the county quickly rallied
TO his support, and the voters gave
him splendid endorsement at the
polls. In his home town and where he
is best known he got the heaviest vote.
This is an indication that he is worthy
of the confidence of the voters of
Ward county. He is eminently fitted,
by education and practical experience,
for the position to which he aspires,
and merits your vote.-Berthold Trib-

The European war according to the
New York Evening Post, costs the five
bellieerents about $22,0OO,OOO a day.
All this money must be paid by taxa
tion, in addition to keeping up the
present military equipment Of each
nation, which will have to be increas-
ed if the war leaves the parties terri
tory intact. In the meantime Belgium
has been absolutely ruined. There will
be no funds to recoup her. Her people
have been killed, her industries have
been destroyed, her cities obliterated
the people driven from the soil, and
all this in a cause in which she has no
interest and was only desirous Of
keeping out of it.

Olaf Lokensgard, republican nomi-
nee for county commissioner from the
Fifth district, has made an ideal
commissioner in every sense of the
word. He is chairman of the board
of county commissioners, and if he
has ever laid himself open to criti-
cism of any kind, it is that he has
guarded the interests of the tax-pay-
ers only too well, for Mr.. Lokensgard
does not believe in squandering
cent of the county's money. This is
a mighty good fault, if indeed it can
be called fault. Ward county, under
the management of its present board,
is rapidly getting out of debt, and this
cannot help but result in lower taxes.
Ward county is great big business
institution, and only the very best
men should be elected.

The State Irvine Plant has been we'll
conducted and in the interests of the
people of the state. In the past eigh-
teen months, by reason of the troubles
in Mexico, the price Of fibre has adj
vanced to almost exactly twice what it
had been for the six years previous,
and further than that, the last legisla-
ture, under the Cashel Bill, increased
the compensation of the prisoners
working in the Irvine plant almost ex-
actly three hundred per cent, and yet,
in spite of the increase in the cost of
fibre and in the money paid to the
men who work in the Irvine plant, the
cost of Irvine to the people of North
Dakota has been raised but little.

1t has been estimated that it costs
in the neighborhood of $4,000 to kill
each soldier who has met death in the
present European war. In the war be-
tween Russia and Japan, it cost on an
average of something over $4,000
for each soldier killed. This figure was
obtained by adding up the total ex-
penses on both sides and dividing by
the number of men killed. A terrible
waste of wealth and life.

The Independent understands that
the average corn yield in North Dako.
ia this year is SO bushels per acre.
This means that some fields have aver
aged as high as rs bushels and even
higher. We understand that this is a
better average than Iowa and some of
the other states can show this year,
owing to a drouth. North Dakota is
surely in the corn belt.
