AROUND THE STATE.

j. n. Worst is getting great
boosts over the state for U. S.
senator.
Out at Mott a newspaper offered
to contract for county printing for
one year at the rate Of one cent a
word. They didn't get the contract.
Serves them right, too. They ought
to be ridden out Of the state on a
rail instead Of being granted con-
tracts when they resort to such
dirty methods Of competition.
Grano, N. D., Feb. 6.-The birth
of three sets Of twins in the same
locality has attracted considerable
attention. They are in Lockwood
township in this county. The par
ents are Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Ginge-
rich, Mr.. and Mrs. James Johnson
and Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Huffman.
One set Of twins are girls, another
boys, and third set has one Of
each.

the present year and for farmers
Institute this spring, the CONNER
cial club will hold a special meeting
Monday evening. 1t is thought it
will be an easy matter to secure all
three if the business men cooper
ate. AS a aresuIt of the recent activ-
tiles Of the club the street lighting
system has been greatly extended
and a much larger area now has
electric arc lights on each corner
than formerly.
Bismarck Tribune: Somewhere in
one of the unmarked graves of the
old capital hill burying ground lies
a fortune in old Indian ornaments.
An aged red man of Standing Rock
reservation alone knows the secret
of the hiding place. He has told a
garbled story to white man who
is in Bismarck now, seeking to
locate exactly the grave that con-
ceals the treasure. Years ago be-
fore the white men came to Bismarck
the wife of a Sioux Indian chief
died and was buried. the story goes
in shroud bedecked with eik's
teeth. The aged Indian at Standing
Rock, q mere boy then. was present
at the burial. He says the dead
woman's neck was adorned with a

necklace Of glittering teeth that
wound twice around the neck and
hung to her feet. As well as he
could the Indian described the old
princess buryinR place. He de-
,clares that her grave has been undis-
turbed and that only few feet be-
meath the frozen ground lies the
fortune in ivory waiting to be
claimed by the white men who dare
despoil the grave.
Cong. Norton has received letter
from a number Of Indian chiefs Of
the Cannonball neighborhood which
is rather an unusual document and
shows that the Indian chiefs are fast
adopting the ways Of the white man.
For instance, they contradict every
thing said previously by John
Grasse and Red Tomahawk. They
further assert that neither are real
Indian and that they secure favors
from the government for complying
with requests from officials to assist
in robbing the Indians of what is
rightfully theirs.
Eastern capitalists have been in
vestigating the Ignite situation in
North Dakota with view to the es-
tablishment of large central electric
power plants from which radiating
transmission lines can carry the
electricity over the state. North
Dakota. unlike many other states,
especially those IN mountain
Gus sections, is devoid of water pow
er for the generation of electricity,
Its broad and fertile area affords no
opportunity for swift running
streams with great waterfalls. In
stead of that. however. it has bill
lions of tons of Ignite coal. ranging
from a foot to 100 feet under the
surface. There is sufficient
amount OF this fuel to supply heat
and power for the entire United
States for the next century. Its
wonderful possibilities are just be-
ginning to he realized. 1t is assert

visit from la grippe the past week.
Archie Frederick left this morn
ing for Pasco, WASH, where he in
tends to spend the balance of the
winter.
G. A. Lenhart returned Saturday
from a ten days business trip to
Minneapolis and other points in the
gopher state.
At least one sign Of spring was
noticeable last week when Batter
Bros. Implement Company unloaded
car Of farm machinery.
The electric light plant is pro-
gressing. In the course of a week
or two we expect to see Hazelton
break forth in q dazzle of light.
Mrs S. F. Wright and daughter,
Ruth. are consolinR over the fact
that they can both enjoy the grip at
one time. Anyhow they have got it.
Leonard de Heaume came up from
Linton Saturday to take home his
automobile which has been UNDER
going a thorough overhauling at the
hands of H. B. Ellithorp.
Contractor p. M. Jones is build

twelve. The guests retired to their
home at a late hour, all agreeing
that they had thoroughly enjoyed
the evening.
On account, of 80 much sickness
among its members the meeting of
the Nula Club which was to have
been held Tuesday evening at the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. S. F. Wright
was postponed until next Wednes-
day evening.
Lack of space last week on ac-
count of an unusual run of advertis-
ing matter left many things we had
to say unsaid. and this week we've
got the grip. quinsy. mumps and all
kindred diseases chasing the cold
chills up and down our spinal col

whether they are ever said or not.
Does Hazelton need commercial
club and by having one could much
be accomplished in the way ofinduc-
ing investors to come here? That
is the question which is running in
the minds of HazeIton citizens at
the present time, although the an
swer seems most simple one. Any
town the size of this needs COM
mercial club whether it is an organ
lied village or not. and certainly Ha-
zelton needs one and needs it badly.
The Farmers Union will hold one
of their regular meetings Saturday
afternoon, February 14th, at which
time one of the most interesting and
important subjects to be discussed
is the advisability of a cooperative
elevator in HazeIton. There will
be gentleman down from the
north country who is some authority
on cooperative elevators who will
explain it's workings before the
meeting and offer some valuable in
formation. 1t is urged that every
member of the union turn out and
voice their opinion in this matter.
A meeting of more than unusual
Importance is being held in Kla-
bundles hall this afternoon by the
stockholders of the Hazelton
Creamery Association to determine
upon the feasibility of again OPEN
ing up the local creamery. A re-
cent decision Of the supreme court
of Minnesota sets. aside the tempor-
ary injunction which restrained the
railroad and express companies from
complying with the act Of the 1918
State Legislature requiring that
cream be either shipped in refriger-
ator cars or be pastaurized If ship
ped distance of more than sixty
five miles within that state. This
means that the law must hereafter
be enforced. and it alsn means that
if il is enforced, that the farmer
mu,t pay the damages by increased
express rates or the cost of pasteur-
iza'i. n. which in either case will be
quite u loss to the producer. If the
creamery here is again put in oper-
alton the farmer can sell his cream
right at home, at good price, get
his money the same day ne delivers

State Board of Equalization Estimates
Revenue of S1,s22,592.

Revenue OF $1,822,5S2.
Denver.-All appropriations of the
last General Assembly as trimmed and
pruned by the veto power OF Governor
e. NJ. Ammons will be paid this
period, the State Board OF Equaliza-
ton having fixed the state levy at
1 .39 mills or .O9 mill more than
year ago.
The mill levy was fixed after the
board had accepted all the increases
of county assessments made by the
State Tax Commission and the origi-
nal property assessments of public
utilities corporations made by the COM
mission.
What had appeared to be palpable
errors in some Instances where pro-
tests were made to the board were
found to be correct statements, or
such errors as the board could not cor
rect, and the states valuation of tax
able property remained at $1,311 ,2lO.-
345 instead of being reduced some So
100000 to the same figure as year
ago.
The total estimated revenue the
state will obtain under this levy is
81 ,S22,5 ,5S2, or more than 100000 in
excess of the estimated revenue of
last year, nearly five per cent of
which has not been collected.
Much credit for the financial show
ing made during the biennial period is
being given to Inheritance Tax Com
missioner Leslie Hubbard, who has
collected many thousands of dollars
more than did any of his predecessors,
the office records showing compara-
lively few estates which have not set
tied the Inheritance tax claims made
against them.
In the estimate of expense which
the revenues must cover this year Is
a new item, that of $4,000 interest on
the insurrection bonds of 1914. Only
s6s0.OO0 of the sl.OO0,000 issue author
lied has been signed and issued but
the remainder is held for contingen-
cies and allowance made for the full
amount of interest. This brings the
annual amount of interest on bonds
the state is paying up to s1S6,943.
Following is a table showing the d.
vision of the estimated revenue:

eRIrAIN's DEBT.

The voting by Parliament the other
day of a million more men and ST.
$50. 100000 of debt to support Eng
lands share in the war, was the re-
newing of great British tradition.
That is the financiering in the Napo-
leonic war by which Great Britain
kept up the struggle with the French
Emperor.
In that protracted conflict the
British debt increased to the then
amazing total OF about $40OO'OGOOOO.
That was an Overwhelming sum for
that age of a hundred years ago. Not
much over a generation before that
David Hume. when the British debt
was about $1OO,OOO,OOO declared that
any large increase beyond that
amount would produce disaster and
bankruptcy. Yet by 1918 it had been
multiplied nearly forty times.
Comparing the wealth Of Great
Britain about the close of 1914, with
what 1t is at present, it is readily
seen that four billions then was
greater in proportion to the whole
wealth than twenty billions would be
now. England made the record OF a
new thing when she piled mp that
debt a hundred years ago She has a
