GERMANS BUT 40
MIL I.ES FROM PARIS
BROUGHT ACTION
FOR SALARIES


A mandamus proceeding was heard
before Judge Buttz yesterday, wherein
County Superintendent of Schools
Haig seeks to compel Auditor Kramer
to pay over certain moneys claimed
as salary by Mr.. Haig. The salary of
various county officials is based on
the assessed valuation of the county
and Auditor Kramer holds that his
assessment footings is what he should
be guided by in paying the various
salaries, while Mr., Haig holds that
the returns shown by the state board
Equalization is the basis for appor-
tioning the salaries. This would make
difference in the salaries of several
of the officials and the action is start
ed as a friendly suit to get decision
of the court in the matter. Up to
this time Judge Buttz has not rem
dered his decision. Attorney E. H.
Griffin appeared for the plaintiff and
States Attorney Cuthbert represent
ed the county auditor.

SCAND|NAV|ANS ARE M0B|L|Z|NG..
WILL OPPOSE GERMAN ARMIES

Minneapolis, Sept. 2.-Their SOL
diers modified, and their citizens
aroused, the three Scandinavian
countries, Sweden, Norway and DEN
mark, expect to be drawn into the
European struggle and are prepared
to unite against Germany, is the
opinion Of Theodore Bruder, of 1898
Sheridan avenue south, who returned
today from trip abroad.
The belief is current in Denmark,
he explained, that whenever the neu-
trality Of any one of the trio is violat-
ed, the other two will come unhesitat-
ingly to it's aid.
"The sentiment in Denmark runs
strongly against the Germans and it
is all the authorities can do to keep
the people from some outburst that
might bring on war;" he said. "When
I was in Copenhagen, villas outside Of
the city were being razed to give free
play to guns Of the forts and the
ground about the city was being COW
cred with. barbed wire. There were
100000 soldiers in Copenhagen.

'RESTOCK DEVILS
LAKE WITH FISH

One more move in the campaign to
restock the waters of Devils Lake with
fish, hundreds Of carloads of which
were taken out in the pioneer days
figuring extensively in the industry
of this section of the state, wa stalk
en- recently, when a government con-
signment Of black bass and crappies
was unloaded here. A special car
working under the bureau Of fisher
les, department Of commerce making
a tour Of the northwest.
The fish for Devils Lake were con-
signed to c. M. Fisher who turned
them over to Alfred Eastgate of the
North Dakota biological station to be
placed in the acclimization tanks
on the lake shore. For a time they
will be kept in fresh water. Then
the lake water will be gradually intro
duced until the fish are living entirely
in the lake water following which they
will be liberated in North Dakota's
greatest body Of water.
Twenty cans were received here,
containing between 1000 and 5000
black bass and crappies.

W|LL|STON GETS
STOCK CONCERN

Williston, N. D., Sept. New evi-
dence of the growing Importance of
Williams county as a stock raising
country comes with the organization
of the Williston Horse and Cattle COM
pany, with U. L. Burdick and L. C.
Wingate as chief investors.
The capital stock of the company of
$4,000 is fully paid in and an ap-
plication to the secretary of state for
charter has been made.
The company has secured 2,4OO
acres Of land on the river Is miles
southeast of Williston and will fence
it. The new ranch adjoins on the
west by Mr.. Burdick's Spanish Point
hores ranch, part of which land goes
into the new company.
The raising Of horses and cattle will
be the object Of the new venture and
special attention will be given to
building up superior herd of thor
oughbred shorthorn cattle.
The nutritious grass that grows on
the rough land along the streams,
not adapted to general farming,
amounts to great asset in itself and
wise business heads recognize the OPP
portunity that lies in converting it
into beef and horse flesh. The days
of the open range are nearly lost but
the small, fenced-in ranches will take
their place and will be an important
factor in development and production.
Large silos will be built on the new
ranch and fodder crops raised for win
ter feed.

though praying for peace, is in a
state Of preparedness for war. The
sympathies of all the Scandinavian
people are with the Germans and fear
of the Russian aggression toward the

Norway and Sweden are ready to

Washington, Sept. 2.-Official ad-
vices received through diplomatic
channels Tuesday reported the two
most important developments of the
present European war.
Great Britain has asked the United
States to be prepared to care for the
British diplomatic circles in Turkey,
indicating that the allies have prac-
tically lost hope of persuading the Ot-
toman empire to remain neutral. Dis
patches received at the British en-
bassy referred to the incorporation
into the Turkish army Of several Ger
man officers, which is regarded as
the forerunner of intervention by the
Porte in behalf of Germany.
Turkeys entry into the conflict
means the immediate alignment of
Italy, as well as Greece on the side OF
Great Britain, France, Russia, Servia,
Montenegro and Roumania, diplomats
here believe. Just what the attitude
of Bulgaria will be is matter of un-
certainty, though the Turkish minis
ter here issued a statement speaking
Of the community of interest of Bull
garia and Turkey. The Turkish stu
alton is being watched with the deep
est concern by diplomats, because Of
the imminence of a general war in
the Balkans and the extension of the
war drama to all Eastern Europe.
London, Sept. 2-Baron Lewis Won
Horst of Coburg, Germany, was ar
rested here on the charge of espion-
age, and placed in one of the concen-
tration camps as a prisoner of war.
The baron has extensive hop interests
in California. He is a brother of D.
J. Partullo, of New York.
Rome, Sept. 2.-The Gornale d'Italy
publishes dispatch from Vienna say
ing that the Austrian government has
made arrangements for the evacua-
tion of Lemberg, Galacia,-Lemberg
is the capital of Galacia. Recently
dispatches described it is invested by
Russian troops, and reports from St.
Petersburg declared that the "Iron
Ring" around Lemburg was being
drawn closer and closer.
London, Sept. 2.-The Ostend cor
respondent of the Express quotes Le-
on Hard, senator of Hainault, as tes-
tifying that "the Germans killed their
own severely wounded, only tending
those who would soon recover"
On Upper Disc, the British are
fighting desperately to prevent the
Germans from securing one of the
most direct routes to Paris, news of
this battle reaching here from two
different sources, being the first def
mite information since the end of the
battle of Mons. The battle ragged Sun
day and Monday and by sheer weight
of numbers the Germans secured
slight advance.
Military experts point out that
from the present position on the Up
per Disc river, the German advance
will become increasingly difficult
owing to natural features of the coun-
try, as well as artificial defenses that
will have to be encountered. It is
becoming evident that along the west
ern lines the allies are playing fol
time in hope that the German assault,
will become exhausted

The clash at Fargo recently between

rnefcc and representatives Of the So
ciety of Equity, is generally regretted
Fargo is given black eye that it de-
served not at all, and on account of

80 is q hospitable city. Her up-to-
date businessmen have ever given the
glad hand 10 conventions and money
has been spent on the visitors in a
lavish manner. One or two Fargo in
diyiduals might be blamed for the
lack Of diplomacy. John H. Worst,
president OF the agricultural college,
is coming in for his share of the
blame, bat from what the Independent
can learn, he had nothing whatever to
do with the matter. John Worst is
q wise old head and never would have
invited crowd of farmers to that
city to insult them. The Fargo au-
thorities are making a thoro investi-
cation and until the publication of the
findings Of the committee, judgment
should be reserved.

In the fall of 1892 the writer saw

fed in Minnesota pastures, sold to
Blue Earth stock dealers and the av-

same was $3.50. Last week the Ely

Enterprise reports that John Rane
marketed his turkeys that week and
among them was a Mammoth Bronze
that weighed thirty-six pounds and
brought 1912. These two incidents
demonstrate most forcibly the chang

twenty years. A turkey sells for al
most as much money today as a cow
did at that time.-Wells Mirror.

We note that quite few Of the
counties political announcements are
being made by county candidates. In
no field of human endeavor does the
adage "the early bird gets the. worm
apply with more force than in politics;
to be first in the field attracts ten
times the attention it does when later
the papers are fairly cluttered with
these announcements. This good adj
vice won't cost our Ward county pa

price of legal rates, fixed by legisla-
ton that butts into our business and

Just 2S9 North Dakota boys and

contest under the direction of the Bet

pounds in 2O3 days from the litter Of
one sow, at cost for feed of 2.8
cents per pound, leaving a profit of
44.86 cents per day. The second prize
went to girl, Anna Barrett of Lari-

litter in 218 days, at a cost of 1.68S8

We picked up one of North Dako-
ta's leading daily newspapers and
turned to the Help Wanted col
umns. There were several scores of
offers for good situations to young
men and women in various lines of
work at good pay. In the "Situation
Wanted" column, there were just two
advertisements. This shows that in
nearly every line of work, there is
more demand for capable help than
can be supplied. This is rather re-
markable when one considers that
out in Los Angeles there are 100000
unemployed while all along the coast,
there are countless thousands unable
to find work.

Minot had in those days Justice of
the Peace of the name of Lincoln. and
he helped some farmers who had been
vlctimized by chattel mortgage
clause in the policies Of the Insurance
Co. of Dakota. The Bottineau Pioneer
and the Pioneer Press of Devils Lake
both told of many farmers in their
neighborhood being victimized also.
We had no Blue Sky law then.
Phil Sheridan was reported ill at
Washington, and his many friends all
over the nation were mourning. He
lies now on beautiful slope above the
Potomac in the National cemetery at
Arlington.
England was mourning, too, over
the passing of Sydney Smith, and
many American friends were noting.
But don't tell the Burns club that
Sydney said it took a surgical opera
ton to get joke into the head of a
Scotchman, for maybe it's true.
An independent republican paper
called the Vesten, was set up in Fargo
and A. A. Trovaten was the publisher.
He continued it for nearly 20 years,
then sold it, but he is still busy for
the Sons of Norway in the state.
County commissioners thought they
had the right to appoint district at
torneys in those days, but Judge Nc
Cornell showed them that was a priv
ilege of the Court under territorial
law, and he began by filling vacancy
in Grand Forks county.
Editor Mcclure of the Rustler
bought out the Tribune and CONSOLE
dated them as the Rustler-Tribune,
which made neighboring editor re-

a good living in Minot. Now let us
note the two dailies and three week.

An application was made to the
Post Office Department for the estab-
lishment of mail route to connect
with the Burlington and Towner route
at Willard and extend to Turtle Lake,
thence to Washburn to connect with
the Bismarck and Fort Buford route.
January 10th, 1889 the first snow of
the season for this district fell to the
depth of two inches. 1t had made
two or three attempts to snow before,
but each time proved failure. Up
to that time very little hay had been
fed to stock, cattle and horses prefer
ring the range to feeding hay.

The big bridge over the middle Des
Lacs lake, between Ward and Burke
counties, north Of Kenmare, has been
condemned by the commissioners OF
both counties. About month ago
the monstrosity commenced heaving
and some of the big timber supports
were split. The repairs cannot be
made until the ice goes out in the
spring and in the meantime farmers
use the bridge at their own risk. This
structure was built nearly ten years
ago at a cost of $4,000. We believe
that Sam Richardson and "BilW Black
were members of the board at the
time the contract was let, and terri
BILE howl went up among the taxpay-
ers over the expenditure of the money.

After a career of public service
lasting nearly 60 years, Shelby M.
Cullom, until year ago, Senator
from Illinois, is dead. A remarkable
life we'll spent. When he was born
Andrew Jackson was president. When
he was speaker of the Illinois house of
representatives, Stephen A. Douglas,
at the outbreak of the Civil war, made
before that body his historic speech
for the preservation of the Union.
When he went to Washington as men,
Der of Congress-, Lincoln was presi-
dent. When in 1883 he became United
States Senator, Chester A. Arthur
was president. His career was mark
ed by diligence and integrity.
