KRAAbEL GETS HONOR
AND SALARY TOO
DURING ABSENCE OF HANNA
THE PAY GOES TO LIEUTENr
ANT GOVERNOR.

Bismarck, NJ D., July 11.--Lieut-
enant Governor Kraabel walked
into State Auditor Jorgenson's Of
fee yesterday and collected $416.SS,
the governors salary for the month.
Backed by an opinion of the attor-
ney general he showed no timidity
in drawing the simoleons. Follow
ing the campaign this is a nice
little wind-fall and it will serve to
sweeten the bitterness Of defeat.
Just before the Glorious Fourth,
but to be more exact, July 3,
Kraabel notified the state auditor
tflot the governor pay was due
him citing Sec. 81, Article! 2 of the
political code in support Of his
contentious. The law which will
net the lieutenant governor two
mcnths' salary at the rate Of $416.-
&C per instead Of $S8.33 every
thirty days reads:
''The lieutenant governor
shall receive an annual salary
of $1,000, and when he acts
as governor, he is entitled to
receive during the time he so
acts the compensation which
the governor, if acting, would
be entitled to receive for such
time; but during such time he
is not entitled as lieutenant
governor to any other compen-
sation."
Attorney General Miller looked
the matter up and reported as fol-
lows to Mr.. Jorgenson:
"Sec. 81, Article 2 of the
political code is not subject to
any construction. It's plain
language authorizes the Lieut.
enant Governor to receive the
salary of the Governor during
the time he is acting"
There has never been parallel
case in the history of the state ex-
cept in the case of Gov. Fancher
ana Lieutenant Gov. Devine. When
Governor Fancher. became i'll and
left the state, Mr.. Devine served
Turing the time, but the records
show that he continued to draw
only his pay as lieutenant govern

MUST REFUND THE
PROBATE FEES
ALL COUNTIES ARE REQUIRED
TO REFUND FEES PAID TO
COUNTY JUDGE.

Fargo, N. D., July 15.-Since the
supreme court decision knocking
out the exorbitant fees collected by
judges Of probate for the settlement
of estates, practically every coun-
ty Of the state must make a.
special levy to reimburse the heirs
Of estates that have been settled
during the past six years. The
probate judges would turn the mon
ey collected over to the county
treasurer and it would go into the
general fund. AS a result the tax
payers got the benefit and the lev
les have been smaller That the
counties must disgorge, and heirs
will get these fees back. Some
had paid under protest, others will
ingly, but all will be refunded on
demand The additional levy will
net be a hardship on the taxpayers
as they have already used this
money.
In some counties there is a suf11-
cient amount in the general fund
to pay off the obligations. In 9TH
ers the special levy will be neces-
sary. In some counties 1t is being
made as special for that specific
purpose. In others it is merely ad-
et; to the general fund.

Electric / Light Proposition Up
Before City Council Tonight
National Brquetting Co. of Kenare Asks for Permission
to Build Transmission Line Into Bosvhels Enthusias-
tic Meeting of Business Men Held Monday Evening

/ Members of the city council and
! City Attorney F. E. Heckel will al
the same time draw up an ordin-
! ance granting the National Bri-
quetting Co. a franchise. All mat
j ters pertaining to the, proposition
will be gone over thoroughly, and
the council will be ready to act in
tellegently on the proposition.
! Mr.. Soule came to Bowbells with
this proposition. at the solicitation
CT Attorney Geo. H. Phelps of the
Burke Abstract Co. Mr.. Phelps
spent some time in looking into the
resources of the National Briquet-
:1ing Co., and found that the firm
was in the very best of shape to
handle anything that it agreed on.
He also took trip to Kenmare and
OH investigation found that the rates
charged there were just about the
same as what would be charged
here.
The street lights will consist of
four 500 candle power lights swung
across the center of the four cor
ners ordered by the city council, and
in addition to this there will be
1OuI 1VO SdAuAC PoNC AA6ACo oAo
twelve SO candle power, all to be
distributed about the city under
orders from the mayor and council
Gil.
The proposition offered by Mr..
Soule is by far the best that the
sity can possibly expect to get any
where. In case it is accepted
Bowbells will be the smallest city
in the state with "a hour ser
vice, and an absolutely dependable
plant. Taking into consideration
the fact that Mr. Soule asks SO lit
tie from the town and gives so
much The Tribune does not hesi-.
tate to recommend he be taken up.
In case franchise is granted at
once Mr.. Soule promises to have the
city lit up by November l., and
sooner, if possible. He was of the
opinion that it would be very diff
cult to get men during the balance
OF the summer and fall and this
would probably delay the work
some. > In any event, the lights
could be turned on some time in
November.

Mr.. Soule offered to build the
line without any expense to the
city for anything with the exception
Of lot in the outskirts of town
for transformer, and agreed to
furnish us with a "a hour service
at practically the same rate which
is now being paid at Kenmare. All
ne asked was franchise, a certain
amount of street lighting from the
city and the lot.
The meeting was attended by
quite number of business men of
town, and many expressed their
views in regard to the matter, but
not single one was adverse to &C
cepting Mr.. Soulers proposition.
>.TLhe members of the city council
slated that the city could not af-
ford to pay out the money asked
for street lighting, but this was
quickly settled by the business men
agreeing to pay a part of the ex-
pense and the city the balance.
Another meeting of the city
council will be held on Friday ev-
ening of this week at which time
things will be gone over thoroughly
and the proposition will either be
accepted or turned down. In the

Kenmare, N. D., July 10.-The

The fire was total loss. No

FARMERS COMING
BACK FROM CANADA.
IMMIGRATION TO CANADA FALL
ING OFF RAPIDLY DURING
PAST YEAR. ~ s

Washington, July 15.-Secretary
wilson Of the department of labor
is pleased by reports that fewer
American citizens are immigrating
to Canada. ;
Two years ago 91,791 Americans
went to Canada, while the number
returning from. that country to the
United States was only 38,317.
For the eleven months ending
May 81, 1914, it is said at the de-
partment, 6s,369 citizens of this
country went into the dominion,
while 45,127 Americans returned to
the United States.
A gratifying feature of the re-
turn movement to Secretary Wilson
is that large numbers of those COM
ing back are seeking information
from the department as to the To-
cation of land on which they may
settle. =

B|CKF0RD MAY: Be
PLACED IN PRISON
FORMER STATE TREASURER
May AGAIN BE TAKEN IN
CUSTODY,

Bismarck, N. D., July 13.-Wel]
Versed legal authorities at Bismarck
contend that in spite of the COM
plete pardon granted him by the
state board of, pardons at the semi
annual meeting held last month,
G.. q. Bickford, former state treas
urer, found guilty over two years
ago Of embezzlement, will yet be
committed to the penitentiary. 1t
Is claimed that the pardon cannot
operate unless Bickford is really
confined to prison according to the
sentence he received from the trial
court.
On a change of venue Bickford
was tried in Mclean county, and
after the jury returned verdict of
guilty District Judge Crawford inn
posed sentence Of from one to
three years in state prison and also
fine Of $1,000. After the case
had reached the supreme court
through several different routes the
higher court finally dismissed the
fine, but it sustained the lower
court as to the prison sentence.
a few days after the final decision
of the supreme court the pardon
board met, and upon petition
granted Bick ford full pardon.
The pardon was issued before there
had been any chance to commit
him to- prison, and with the issll-
ance@of the pardon the matter seems
to have been dropped till within the
last few days.
lt now appears that the clerk Of
5of q M Lean county never is
sued the commi ittment papers after
the sentence had been mo- dif1ed,
even though sit was his regular duty

Fargo, N. D., July 16.-As a re-
suit of the success OF number Of
people in North Dakota last year
In purchasing train loads Of sheep
and cattle in Montana and bringin 6
them here for finishing for the
market, many more will engage in
that business this fall. In locali-
ties where no one can afford to
secure an entire train, several are
already planning to club together.

clRlly good range this fall and
there is an aundance of all kinds of

fore being marketed. Some splen-
did successes were made at various
points in the state last year. For
many years the practice Of bringing
In sheep has been common in some
parts of the state but it was only
during the last two or three seasons
that the farmers began to raise
corn In sufficient quantity to war
rant shipping in steers from the
ranges to be finished for the mar
ket. F. ~..
A GOOn Plan.
THE plan is to ship the cattle and
sheep here in transit, the railroads
permitting this practice, the owners
the same amount Of
out shipments and securing a pro
rata rate on the increased freight.
The plan is a good one for both the
roads and the farmers. The latter
are able in this manner to convert
their corn into cash. The corn
has high food value but would not
bring a high price on the open
market and much more can be Sc
cured by feeding it to live stock.
The methods of feeding the corn
are usually to turn the cattle onto
the fields and the farmers are not
even bothered about harvesting the
corn.
