Another page Of this issue contains
the annual financial statement Of the
business affairs of Cavalier county as
shown in the reports of Auditor Ham
ilton and County Treasurer Work.
The statement goes into the details
of the money that has gone into the
various funds during the past year
and the payment out of the same,
giving also the balances at both the
beginning and end of the fiscal year.
1t will be noted that the funds Of the
county are on hand at all of the
banks, showing also that the amounts
could not have been more evenly dis
tributed. Expenditures for the year
amount to a total of 500, O13. 90,
with a balance on hand after all pay
ments of S128, 551. The county's
only liability is a bonded Indebtedness
Of 500, 900, and less than $500 worth
of warrants that have not been called
for. On the other hand the assets of
the county aggregate $31Os O6O. Is,
which in addition to the item of up
wards of $128, 900 cash includes out
standing taxes of $50, 900, county
bridges worth another $50, 900, and
the court house property which is es-
timated at 500, 900, making a total
of over 500, 600. The statement is
one which shows that Cavalier county
has an administration of business
affairs which gives her a standing
with the best of the counties in the
whole state.

The Munich Herald states in its
last issue that the socialists of the
southwestern part Of this county
have organized a local club at Weaver
and as the time of the fall campaign
approaches plan to have a number of
speakers address meetings in the hall
at that place. The first of a series of
such meetings was held on the 9Th
inst, when Hon. Beecher Moore, of
Minneapolis gave a talk on the present
day high cost of living. Although the
vote cast at the late primary election
did not show to any extent a party
socialistic vote the precints of Ban
ner, Seivert, Moscow and Cypress
may be credited with having a vote of
that party which in the course of time
will require to be given a political
recognition.

Returns from over the state fshow
Hayward as having been led by Taylor
for the nomination of state superin-
tendent by quite a big vote, the latter
having carried every county in the
state with the single exception of
Cavalier, which we feel proud to say
gave Mr.. Hayward a majority of
about 26O votes. AS the Office is on
the n~on-partisan ballot both Taylor
and Hayward have their names on
the ticket in the fall, when with the
vote that is certain to be given
Mr.. Hayward by loyal supporters over
the state, irrespective of party, a
much different result is to be- looked
for.

A whole car load of home grown wool
was shipped from Hannah last week.
The load was shipped to North Star
Wooden Mill Co., Minneapolis, MINI, the
weight beng over 1000 pounds, This
represents a large sum of money as wool
has increased in value the past year, not.
w~ithstanding the free trade with Canada.
Jas. Anstin was the shipper and one
wagon load from his farm which includ-
ed his own clip and his neighbours,
weighed 242O pounds, which represents
a money value of $500. Farmers! Does

This week the Democrat is giving
space to the views and ideas of at
least three of it's readers who have
opinions to which they have expressed
a wish to present to- the public. 1t
is not the papers policy to open its
columns to an extended controversy on
any subject, but the views of any of
its readers, upon matters of a general
public interest, is acceptable, in fact
the shorter the better. Bear in mind
that matters of personality and con-
troversy will invariably find an un-
disturbed place in the waste paper
basket.

For the second time in the past two
weeks Mr.. c.. j. Pease is the contrib
utor of a signed article in these col
umns. This time the writer expresses
himself in verse. 1t is shorter than
the previous article, but deals much
with the same subject. We venture
to state the subject is one of consid-
cradle pro and con interest, both in
this state and as a national issue.
The paper holds its columns open to
the public on all subjects of general
interest, when the length of the same
permits and the name of the writer is
appended. But we will state how
ever, that communications in nowise
need be taken as expressing an
editorial view of the paper.

An Idle Execut;oner.

Among the strange customs horored
in Persia is one which empowers an
executioner. after performing his
dread office. to claim the payment
from the parents or relatives of the
victim Of Il sum not exceeding 500 to-
mans. about $500, Rarely. however, is
this sum forthcoming. ANA as a onse-
qu"nre the murderer is often imprison-
ed for life on account of the refusal Of
the executioner to work for nothing.
The sentence is therefore mechanically
commuted more often than not.

WE PASS ANOTHER MILE STONE

With this number the Courier
1t was in August of 1885, twenty-nine
years ago that the first number of the
paper made its appearance and some
of the older of the subscribers, whose
names are still on the list recall the
publishing of the initial copy of the
first newspaper to be printed and pub
lished in this county. There is no
need to 90 over the list Of events that
have occurred in the interim. How
eventually the Great Northern extend
ed its line of railroad into the county
and towns began to form or the
prairie, from which time its develop
ment has gon ahead with unhindered
strides.
The Democrat in starting on Vol.
XXX has the satisfaction of knowing
that its effort to live up to its avowed
mission outlined in No. /, of Vol. l.
some twenty-nine years ago, have not
been without an honest attempt at
fulfllment. The interest of the
newspaper and the community in which
it is published is a common interest.
The time which has elapsed has dem
onstrated what an energetic people
can do in a new country when given
the needed opportunity. The pace at
which our growth as a county and
state has been advancing forward for
a quarter of a century past has been
one of unprecedented sWiftness, but
at all times taken with a s%oundness
that insured a future solid condition.
Like the first homesteader the old
Courier made its advent into Cavalier
county in a shanty on the bare prairie
later destined to be the city Of Lang
don. The shanty of the early frontier
day has disappeared, along with it has
gone the team of oxen and the crude
tools of the tiller of the soil in those
days, and step by step We believe the
saying that this paper has been
advancing, marking time with the
growth and development of the
county. To-day, the old army press
and a few hands full of type in a tar
paper shack on the outskirts of what
was to be the county seat Of Cavalier
county, is replaced with one of the
largest and most modernly equipped
printing offices to be found in the
northern part of the state. Some ten
or eleven years ago it installed a large
perfecting cylinder newspaper press,
and was the first paper in the county
to undertake to give its readers an
all-home-print paper. Since then the
aim has constantly been to maintain
its position as the county, oldest and
most widely circulated paper and only
during the past week has the Demo-
crat taken another step which further
s~ubstantiates the claim by installing a
Unitype, a typesetting machine of the
best and most modern style which will
TO- enable the giving our readers the
best newspaper service possible in the
county. The Courier Democrat
is proud Of the fact that it is twenty
nine years old, but is also proud of
the fact that it is just as sound and
vigorous as it was when it published
its first number.
