STATE May STOP
PRICE BOOSTING

Grand Forks. N. D., Aug. 1S.-That
the state of North Dakota has the
power to prevent the arbitrary ad-
Vancement of prices within it's Dor
ders, under preteXt of the increase be-
ing u to the European war, is the
contention Of City Atty. J.. B, Wine
man.
The federal government is reported
to be contemplating action along this
line, but Mr.. Wineman maintains that
such action may be taken by the state
without awaiting the national govern
ment's action in the matter.
The session laws of North Dakota
for 1907 provide that ANY corpora
ton, partnership, association, or indi-
Vldual, creating, entering into, or be-
coming a member of, or a party to-,
any pool, trust, agreement, contract,
confederation, or individual to regulate
or fix thep rice of any article of mer-
chandise, commodity, or property
manufactured mined, produced, or sold
in this state, shall be guilty of q mis-
demeanor."
A pool or trust is defined as "a COM
bination Of capital, skill, or acts, Of
two or more persons for certain pur-
poses, one of which is ito fix at any
standard or figure whereby it's price to
the public shall be in any ann Con-
trolled or established, any property
article or merchandise, product or
manufacture intended for sale, or con-
sumption in this state.
The penalty for the violation of this
act Is a fine of not less than 500 nor
more than $4,000.
This law, Mr.. Wineman contends.
covers the present situation and If
there is any organized plan among the
merchants Or wholesalers of the state
to boost prices they may be prosecut-
under it regardless of the action of
the federal government in the matter.

into Wire
FENCE With auto

New England, N. D.. Aug. 18.-Dr.
G.. A. Sarchet in company with his
wife and her sister, Mrs. Max Steele,
were returning from an uto drive in
the country, when they encountered a
newly constructed barbed wire fence
which had been put up to stop teams
from crossing a residence lot in the
northern part of town. The car struck
the fence between two posts at a
speed Of about seven miles an hour.
One of the wires was broken but the
other went over the top Of the wind
shield and caught the doctor under
the chin, cutting an ugly cash in his
neck and very nearly reaching the
jugular vein. He also received a deep
cut on the face which laid the cheek
bone bare. Mrs. Steele was in the
rear seat with Mrs. Sarchet. She had
one arm badly cut and bruised by the
wire. Mrs. Sarchet went through the
mixup without receiving a scratch.
The moment the car struck the wire
DR.. Sarchet applied the foot brake and
the machine only went a few feet be-
yond the fence. The doctor very
calmly walked to his home a few rods
distant and with the help of Mrs. Sar-
Chef, dressed his wounds. He was not
h least bit frightened until he ex-
amined the cash in his neck and could
see how ear he came to having his
throat cut.
The wire fence had been put up that
day on a trail hat had been used for
several months. The doctor had seen
the fence earlier in the day out had
forgotten it until he struck the wires
in the evening. There were no guards
put up to serve as a warning, and as
he had not lighted his auto lamps he
did not see the fence until the machine
struck it None of the party are
blaming anyone for the mishap and
all are pleased that the accident was
no worse.

WOMEN PUT

Lakota. N. D., Aug. Ito The

Devils Lake chautauqua, and l must
say, to say the least, her talk was

what she was talking about when she
said, the Illinois women did not put
the saloons out. Now, as | was d.

put out eighty-three saloons, l think I
know whereof l speak.
JUS before the annual school cleo

was not much stir as we thought the

wet man and soon the whole saloon
crowd was supporting him. After din

IN Illinois The men tried for years
to put the saloons out but could not do
anything. But the women soon put
them out of business and made a good
job Of it too.
The reason I am addressing this let
ter to your paper is to inform those
who heard her remarks to the effect
that the women Of Illinois, of which 7
am one, did not have anything to do
with putting the saloons out Of bust
ness, were absolutely untrue. 1 cannot
stand to hear her belittle the
Her talk was certainly in favor of the
liquor interests and was not thought

Big Storm At
 Anita Bay

According to the report of Capt. ]. H. McGehee there was quite a storm at Anita Bay last Sunday night, Walter Hubbel's gas boat broke loose and was captured af- ter some difficulty, and three troi- ling boats were also carried away by the storm. The heavy wind blew a large spruce tree down and crushed two tents in which two fishermen were sleeping, fortunate ly they escaped unhurt. Captain McGehee says the Spring salmon run is starting fine at that point.
