Organize Horse
Sale Organization

The Clendive Horse Sales association
.s the name OF a most important organ
zation which was formed on last Sat-
urday afternoon at a meeting which
was called to order at 2 o'clock by
Harry N. Dion at the court house a
number of the leading stockmen of
Dawson county, together with some of
the local business men were in atten-
dance and the work of the session was
entered upon with an enthusiasm
which indicates that the enterprise is
destined to be a great success.
Stock in the company will be sold
at SIS per share. the price being made
low in order to encourage all of the
horse raisers of Dawson county and ad-
jacent territory, to become financially
interested and thereby tend further to
guaranteeing the success of the VEN
ture. 1t is also understood that no
one individual will be permitted to pur
chase and hold more than four shares
of stock. The business will be con-
Quoted along cooperative lines, all
speculative elements will be kept out
Of the company and each and every
per son will be given the squarest
kind of square deal at all times.
1t is expected that site for the
yards will be secured from the North
ern Pacific Railway company, probab-
y at point north of the oil houses
and it is also understood that the size
will be sufficient to handle about 1000
horses, with plans made so that they
may be enlarged as occasion demands.
AS soon as dehnate arrangements
with the Northern Pacific are perfect
ed, work of building the yards will be
started and if the weather remains fav-
orable it is expected that they will be
in readiness for use in short time. 1t
is understood, however, that the initial
sale will probably not be conducted
until early next spring. No dehnate
decision on this point, however. has
yet been made.-Glendive Review.

of the United States to pay the prin-

Such debentures shall be issued in
denominations of from one hundred to
five hundred dollars, and shall be

received by the bureau of credits from
the sale of such bonds shall be cover

that the commissioner of rural credits

the laws Of the state in which the land
is situated.
Safe Investment.
The purpose of the act is not only
to secure and facilitate the borrowing
of, money upon agricultural lands at
reasonable rates of interest but to
afford means for those desiring safe
investments.
The bill provides that so long as
the bureau shall be able to dispose of
the bonds at par it shall accept mort

bill.
In my opinion" said Senator Nc
Cumber, referring to his bill today,
none of the rural credit bills intro
duced are workable in this country.
They impose long term mortgages
which are Objectionable to ambitious
farmers require combined responsible
ity, which is still more Objectionable
to prudent and Independent farmers.
and in many other instances are not
adapted to the customs and manners
of doing business in the United States.
There are advocates of direct
loans by the goernment. which
means very decided step in the the
field of paternalism; and others advo-
cate system of mutual or co-opera.
tive credit. with very complex ma
chinery for its operation.
The system which propose avoids
the socialistic feature but brings the
farmer. through the agency of the gov
eminent. close to the hundreds Of
people. trustees of estates. insurance
companies. and savings banks, which
are everywhere looking for absolutely
safe securities. The government, un-
der the provisions of my bill, while
issuing its bonds would have back

effect it would be but an agency to

IF this should become law and

$500 Verdict
Against N.P.R.R.

The suit Of Soules & Butler against
the Northern Pacific Ry. Co. for the
recovery of 5000 damages as a re-
suit of the food on the 28th of July
was tried on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday. Every inch of the ground
was carefully fought on both sides.
T. F. Martha and T. H Pugh repre-
sented the plaintiffs and E, T. Conmy,
of Watson. Young & Conmy, of Far
go. appeared for the railway COM
pany.
As many of our readers remember
Dickinson had flood the morning of
July 18th. last, some inches of rain
falling in the morning before day
break and nearly as much more fall
ling during the forenoon. The 4 #.
culvert under the N. P. track below
Second Ave. East could not carry off
the surface water which backed up
and flooded the Soules & Butler hard
ware store, also the Easements of the
St. Charles. Masonic temple and
other places in the city resulting in
many thousand dollars worth of dam
age.
1t was shown in the trial that the
N. P. graded its road through a
natural channel for drainage and
thereby obstructed the outlet for sur
face water from l70 acres of land.
To guard against heavy rains the
company put in #. culvert, later
replacing this with #. culvert. 1t
was also shown that at two or three
times previous to this year the sur
face water backed up and flooded
Soules & Butler.
The company contended that the
storm of 1914 was extraordinary and
therefore under the general law they
were not liable. Judge Crawford was
asked to dismiss the action on this
ground but denied the motion. A
great many witnesses were called
Judge Crawford told the jurors
that if they found that the railway
company had used proper care in
guarding against flood as prudent
business man would be expected to
do. then the law would not hold the
N. P. responsible; on the other hand,
if it was found that the company had
been negligent in providing a culvert
Of sufficient size to carry off the water
then they were liable for any reason
able damage resulting to parties from
the food.
1t will be remembered that the N.
P. put in #. culvert in the hollow
east of the city originally and after
considerable number of residences
had been damaged by high water two
or three years ago, II #. culvert
was put in. In this particular part
Of the city several damage claims,
amounting to about 81, 900, were paid.

BREAK OVER RULES
DISCUSS SUFFRAGE:
National Federation of Women's
Clubs Finds Smooth Way
To Inject Politics

Chicago, June 12.-The General Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs tomorrow,
for the first time. is expected to face
the question OF woman's suffrage for
adoption or rejection.
There is little opposition to the adop
tion Of resolution approving the
principles Of equal suffrage, but the
battle will come when all effort is
made to have the federation make the
fight to o. X. the ballot for women az
part Of the federation's propaganda.
| The subject hitherto has died in
committee because the federation's
constitution prohibits consideration of
religion and politics.
In the numerous conference.-the this
convention. however the great strides
made by suffragists In recent years
were recognized and Il was agreed that
enlightenment on the subject might
come properly under the heading Of
education.
1t is further rule that the resplu-
tiOns shall deal only with those sub
jects which have bcen discussed on the
floor. For his reason Mrs. TIeien
Boswell, OF New York. referred in the
briefest possible manner TO the sub
ject at the educational conference to-
day. Although she scarcely more than
mentioned It's existence II was sufn-
cient to form the entering wedge
1t is believed the resolutions COM
m;ttee tomorrow will report in favor
Of the principle of equal suffrage.
This. 1t is sa:j. will bring the fight
to the floor. Delegates today held
three sessions. Tonight there was an
address ty Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait
Of New York. president of the Inter
national Women's Suffrage Alliance.
