FINE SESSION
FOR FARMERS
INSTITUTE FAIRLY WELL AT
TENDED-EXCEL AD-
DRESSES-WILLARD TUES.

The Williams County Short Course
opened at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning
with an attendance not quite as large
as expected, this caused no doubt by
the cold weather. However those
present showed a keen interest which
made the meetings very successful.
E. w. Hall was in charge and kept
things moving in business like way.
During the greater part of the day
J. C. Hoke had charge taking up the
study of dairy cattle, their feeding,
qualities ETC., together with the judg-
ing of the same. His talks were very
instructive and interesting. D. E..
Willard of St. Paul, delivered fine
talk Tuesday afternoon on Debt and
the Dairy Cow. He was very conser-
vative as to debts and if people fol-
lowed his advice they would not buy
anything until they had the money to
pay for it. His talk Tuesday evening
on Community Cooperation was pro-
nounced by many as the best address
of it's kind ever heard in Williston.
This talk was for the citizens as we'll
as the farmers and it is to be re-
GREETED that more citizens were not
present.
J. C. Hoke assisted by Mr.. Hall had
charge again yesterday taking up the
study of the breeds and types of hogs,
hog marketing, judging etc., and the
treatment for and the prevention of
hog cholera. 49,,
Today Mr.. Hoke and Mr.. Hall: will
give instructions on horse judging
and the study of the types and breeds.

COMMERCIAL
CLUB MEETING
MEETING MONDAY NIGHT WELL
ATTENDED-ONE OF BEST
EVER HELD IN CITY

The Commercial club meeting held
last Monday evening was one of the
best attended and finest meetings ever
held in the city. 1t was in the way
of smoker and good fellowship gath
ering and Judging from the Glove
your neighbor as yourself" talks pass
ed around we will in the future have
nothing but a continual love feast IN
our city and Harmony" will be the
pass word. And this is as it should
be. "A house divided against itself
is sure to fall" and what we need in
the city is harmony and pull to-
gether movement for the best inter-
ests of Williston and for the things
that will tend to make it greater and
better. Our energetic and wide awake
president, F. p. Bergman, presided,
and made an excellent chairman.

specifically states that banks receiv-
ing checks must use the same judg-
ment and discretion that they do in
handling commercial checks. The
banks all understand this, and in addi-
ton to this, the office has prepared
instructions which have been sent to
all the banks, specifically stating that
checks will not be paid undess the in
structions in regard to endorsements
are allowed. The pension checks
have instructions prepared by the Sec
retary of the interior printed on their
backs. There would be very little dan
ger of a loss without these instruc-
tions, for the reason that the banks
and the subtreasuries would not pay
said checks unless the parties present
ing them were identified by some one
known to the bank or to the employe
in the subtreasury. If any bank
should pay check without such pre-
caution, it deserves to lose the
amount If it takes the precaution,
it is itself guaranteed from loss by
the persons identifying the payee of
the check.
The representatives of the treasury
endeavored to present the condition
of the Office to the committee on ap-
preparations so that the committee
might understand the exact condition
and know why the treasurer was ask
ing for an increased appropriation.
Fearing that We did not make it clear,
we invite personal inspection by the
committee into the condition of the
United States treasury, anG so far as
congressional investigation is con-
cerned, we invite it. We did not put
this new system in; it is condition
under which we have labored since
the beginning of the administration;
it is a system which we believe facili
tates public business. If it is to be
retained, we want sufficient number
of employees to keep the work cur
rent. The employees have during the
summer worked overtime and after
hours, and some Of them have been
denied the vacation to which they
were entitled. If the system meets
with the approval of congress, con-
gress will, of course, supply whatever
number of employees are necessary; If
the system does not meet with the ap-
proval of congress, well and good.

FIFTEEN MILLION
GIVEN'TO TRUSTS
FREE SERVICE PROVIDED RAIL
ROADS WILL BE INVESTIGATE
ED BY COMMISSION

Washington, Feb. 3.--Another new
development in the freight rate case
before the interstate commerce COM
mission, in which fifty-two eastern
railroads are seeking to advance their
charges five per cent, came when Com
missioner Harlan announced that the
commission intended to hold supple
mentary hearings on the question Of
fixing reasonable charges for services
railroad systems now perform free for
large industrial plants.
A recent decision in an industrial
railways case, indicated that such free
service to so-called trusts, not only
cost the railroad systems about S15,-
100000 per annum, but Disseminated
against smaller industries.
Commissioner Harlan, in a formal
statement, pointed out that the evil
dence so far submitted tended to show
"a diminishing net revenue and di-
minishing net income" for railroads.
The new rates proposed by roads, he
said, proposed advances ranging from
three to fifty per cent.

GREAT EXHIBIT
AT SAN DIEGO
RAILROAD COMPANY WILL HAVE
ELABORATE INDIAN EXHIBIT
AT WESTERN EXPOSITION

San Diego, Jan. 31.-The promise
of great Indian exhibit at the San
Diego Exposition is to be more than
fulfilled. "The Painted Desert" is
the name given to the exhibit made
by the Santa Fe Railway company,
and this part of the exposition as now
planned will embrace the mode OF llv-
ing. the industries, the handiwork, the
sports and the ceremonials of all the
wonderful Indian tribes of Arizona
and New Mexico. =,
The real "Painted Desert" so call
ed because Of the vivid coloring OF its
surface caused by deposits of various
highly colored stones, is in Northern
Arizona, and a part of the Navajo In
dian reservation. Six acres of ground

used for reproductions of character
istic scenes on the "Painted Desert, "
and here representatives of all of the
famous tribes of Arizona and New
Mexico will be brought, to be seen by
exposition visitors at work and at
play. In the hogans and tepees they
will live, just as they live when they
are at home, and in the community
houses of the New Mexico tribes, ex-
hibits of their handiwork will be seen.
The Snake Dance of the Hopis, the
Sun Dance, and all of the other dances
and tribal ceremonies will be held on
the "Painted Desert" at San Diego
many times during the year. OF the
exposition. Indian games and sports
will be seen, and also the blanket
making, basket weaving and bead
embroidering.
All this is to be supplemental to the
archaeological and chronological ex-
hibit which the exposition is gather
ing. and which will be :he greatest
exhibit of its kind ever made at any
exposition.

FROM "DUSK TO DAWN"

This is a feature photo-play depict
ing phases of world wide class con-
fict. Unlike the average so-called
sociological play, "From Dusk to
Dawn" does not depend on the indi-
vidua deliverance of q hero or a
group of persons. On the contrary,
the author has boldly gone into the
heart of the matter by offering to
Labor and Capital a solution Of the
problem of the ages. The story does
not mince matters in setting forth
what is admittedly a maladiustment
of society in economic and industrial
affairs, that, unless corrected in some
manner, will result in a social cata-
clysm.
This great photo-play was prohibit
ed by the authorities in Minot last
Sunday and Monday. You will want
to see it. Orpheum Theatre Friday
and Saturday night. 80. Adv.

1t was the general opinion that in
order to make the club really success
full and accomplish the most good we
should have the farmers of the sur

G. B. Metzger-At last Williston

nothing can be accomplished without
cooperation. This was shown plain

Burke Makes Public Statement

Mr.. Burke makes the following
,}statement:
Yes, I read the articles in The
Washington Evening Times and The
New York Tribune in reference to the
condition of the United States treas
ury, and I am surprised that such re-
ports were printed without an inves-
tigation at the treasury.
1t is published as something new,
and great disclosures are to be made
on account of secret investigation:
when, as matter of fact, the general
public has known ever since former
Secretary MacVeagh put in the new
:, system of accounting on Feb. last.
], that the increased work on account of
such system could not be done by the
employees in the treasury.
This new system was put IN on Feb.
l, 1913, and congress in the appro-
priation act passed March 4, 1913. ap-
proved the same by providing that the
Secretary might transfer from the
~subtreasuries to the treasury en-
ployes to do the extra work imposed
by the new system. Under this new
system, the United States treasury is
made clearinghouse for all the gov
ernment business, the object being to
facilitate the business of the general
public dealing with the government,
and it was thought at the time the
system was inaugurated that suffi-
cient number of employees could be
@transferred from the subtreasurles to
the treasury to keen the work cur
rent. Secretary MacVeaph, however,
did not take into consideration the
large number of banks (4O0 IN num-
ber), that prior to that time were do
ing p great portion Of the work all OF
which. under the new system, is done
here in the treasury. Then. in addl-
ton to the burden imposed bv Secre-
tary MavVeagh, Secretary McAdoo
increased the number Of depositar,es
to 1000, with all of which the office
had to open an account and then S5O.,,
100000 was subsequently, deposited
with the banks in the different parts
of the country for crop-moving pur-
poses, all of which had to be account
ed for in the Office of the treasurer.
In spite of all these burdens, the
treasury has made gains in all EXCEPT
the bookkeeping section. There is no
danger Of the government sustaining
great losses. as intimated, by reason
Of checks not being cleared promptly.

authorized by Elmer B. Adams, Unit
ed States circuit judge. Adams d.
rected that no bid for the property
lower than $34,OOO,O00 would be ac-
cepted and that the sale be made
without appraisement.
Chester Krum of St. Louis, was ap-
pointed special master of the execu-
tive sale, under 100000 bond. The
bidder will be forced to deposit with
the master S1,7OO,O00 or $3,50O,OO0 in

TREASURY FORCE
NOT SUFFICIENT
TREASURER BURKE CLAIMS CON.
DITIONS ARE RESULT OF NEW
SYSTEM-SHORT OF HELP

washington, ~. ~, T eO. S.--Ju uuS-
ing from the headlines that have ap-
peared from time to time in the press
throughout the northwest, it would
look as if there was an attempt be-
ing made to cast reflection on the ad-
ministration of the affairs of the treas
ury department. l have been on the
ground here for some time; and think
something about the situation; and
have no hesitation in saying that the
articles referred to were prompted by
partisan motives. Those responsible
for the articles could easily have sat
isfed themselves as to the actual con-
9it1ons in the treasury department.
The same conditions exist today
that have existed for some time, and
were brought about on account of an
order issued by Secretary MacVeagh
last February, inaugurating new
system Of accounting. There is no
doubt but what the business of the
country would be facilitated by the
new policy; hence there is no intention
to cast reflection on the judgment of
Secretary MacVeagh in issuing the or
der. / simply wish to state that the
fault does not lie with the system in
itiated, but with the lack of instru-
lnentalities for putting it into practi
, cAl operation. The new plan entails
a great deal more work on the treas
ury department than they are able to
take care of with their present work
ing force; and they are handicapped
by the law which governs the number
of employees in connection with the
department., as we'll as limiting the
eSS"' erS. '' money a'"'''''S ''' 'a,''
Governor Burke is not responsible
for inaugurating any new system;
hence should not be held to account
for any weak points in connection
with the working out of the same. The
only part which he has played in this
matter has been to appear before the
committee of appropriations of the
house and acquaint them with the ex-
act state of affairs; and to try and
persuade congress to make an appro-
tsII1riation sufficient to meet the expen-
.ses which are absolutely necessary in
order to give the new system inaug-
urated by Secretary MavVeagh, fair
trial. In the event that congress re-
fuses to grant the necessary relief,
the only thing left for the present
secretary of the treasury is to adopt
some other system of accounting.
I enclose statement of the condi-
ton of business in connection with
the treasurer's Office, which will 60
to show that the situation is better
than it was when the present treas
.prer, Governor Burke, took charge Of
Iaffairs, last April. I am forwarding
this data in the hope that you will
avail yourself of this opportunity to
give the public the exact condition of
affairs. It has been my experience
that all newspapers stand ready to
correct any false impression that may
yhave gone out, no matter who was re-
sponsible for the error; and give the
reading public the facts in connection
with matters of this kind, regardless
of their political affiliations.
Yours truly,

We received few days ago the
new railroad map gotten out by the
North Dakota State Engineers Office
for the railroad commission and it is
about the best in this line we have
ever seen. The map is quite large and

It was in the office of frontier ho- tel wherein a score of fully armed miners and cowboys were sitting about waiting for bedtime. A west erner and a newcomer from back East" entered, Presently the latter said something about the gentle men, present. "Gentlemen!" said the westerner in loud tone of voice, with the exception of two or three men present there isn't gentleman in the room!" The newcomer felt sure something would happen. but when none of the crowd resented the remark he cautiously asked the westerner how he had dared to make such a statement. "Oh, know evesy man present would deem himself one of the two or three gentlemen to whom I had referred"
