The white animal won.
just what was otherwise settled

now claims that he is the ''cnampion'

This in itself may or may not be true.

But Just as an animal contest, the

WAR CONTRACTS.

Canada is having considerable of a
time over alleged frauds in the boots
furnished the volunteers. Perhaps
they could learn something by going
over to Washington and studying the
history Of similar contracts made for
Uncle Sam at the beginning of the civil
war. For instance, under the contracts
for clothing recruit in the navy was
furnished two shirts at the time of en-.
Iistment. These we're supposed to be of
flannel. What they were composed Of
only the contractors knew, 1t was a
"gossamer" weave and in one weeks
wear the shirt would rival the rainbow
in colors, changing almost visibly every
day. The shape was simply shapeless

charged up on the paymaster's books

THE PROCLAMATION.

Friday, May 7th, is designated by Gov.
ernor Hanna as "Arbor and Bird Day.
Few people pay any attention to the
birds and the place they occupy in this
sphere Of Ours. Remove the bird life
from our surroundings and it would be q
desolate community to say the least.
Take the sparrow for instance. The
child is taught to hate it, yet it is the
only bird that has the nerve to remain
with US the year round, and it comes up
to you with a greeting Chi rp when eh
thermometer is registering it's lowest.
The little mite the sparrow taxes you for
a living is justly due if you look at it
right. We are pleased to say that pub
lie sentiment has changed wonderfully
the last few years regarding the bird
family. and it will not be long before the
world at large will realize what they
we're placed here for.
The city Of Pembina. on account of it's
location on two wooded streams, enjoys
more Of the bird life than good many
towns, and we are pleased to cay that
the ~ rifle, the worst enemy of semi
d,mesticsted birds, find no place within
Its limits. Hundreds of 50 uirrels receivs
similar protection in Pembina as do the
birds.

INJUSTICE.

| We believe that great deal of the
peoples money is being spent in redic
ulous manner in an effort to consolidate
all of the justice business of the county
in one location-the county seat. Last
week prisoner was taken from Walhal.
la to Cavalier for trial, on a blind pig
charge. The next day the deputy sheriff
came up from Cavalier and subpoenaed
number of witnesses who were taken
to Cavalier, kept over night and return
ed home Now why was it necessary to
90 to Cavalier for the trial? We have
two justices of peace in Walhalla, either
of whom would have been as able to try
the case as the man at Cavalier. II
would have saved the county at least a
hundred dollars of expenses in witness
fees alone Will someone who knows
whereof they speak kindly explain
Mountaineer.
The above article appeared in Walhal
la Mountaineer last week and we are
surprised that Editor Lee should allow
himself to ask such silly question at this
late hour. Either he is trying to imi
tate Rip Van Winkle or else someone has
told him something he ought to have
known years ago.
The method Of handling justice court
business in this county. referred to by
Editor Lee has been going on for many
years. The reason for centralizing the
legal bushes was apparent, and the Pho
neer Express called attention to it on
several occasions. But the rest of the
local press either belittled our motives
or remained 81 ent, and the taxpayers
have been contributing thousands Of
dollars annually to keep the legal pro.
fession at the county seat employed.
Those who we're not forced to follov
the legal business to Cavalier in the
early part of the game had to do 80 with
the removal Of the county seat. There
is not lawyer practicing law outside Of
the county seat who is not making liv.
ing independent Of his legal profession.
After all we don't know but that the
communities are better off than they
were before. The local squabbles have
disappeared, while we are told at the
county seat it is the opposite, and if the
business from the outside Is not suffi.
cient to keep the mill grinding local diff.
ferences enter to help out, and justice
court squabbles are weekly, and some.
time daily occurrences.
Why the editor of the Mountaineer
should ask such question as he did, at.
ter he devoted all his energies for nearly
q year to make such things possible can
best be answered by himself.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

There has been little doing 10 most of
the war zones this week. Along the
French frontier both armies seem to be
getting their breath in anticipation of
the coming struggle. In the west there
has been no movement Of the armies,
the same is the situation in the east, IN
Poland and Gallicia of Importance. In
the Carpathians, q struggle which has
now continued for about two months
for the possession Of the passes into
Hungary, still goes on with the Russians
having the best of it, they having taken
one Of the passes. All military critics
say that it will be great blow to Aus.
tria il the Russians succeed in getting
through as it would leave Hungary
practically open to the Russian army
At the Dardanelles no progress has
been made by the Allied feet. Some
quite heavy losses have made the navy
more cautious and it is probable that
the ships are waiting for land force to
help take the forts.
Mexican affairs are mixed as usual.
Both sides appear to be short of NUM-.
tions of war.
The agitation for the closing of the
bars in England still goes on. Prohibi.
tion by the wholesale seems to be one of
the rather curious results and issues of
the war. Practically all the Canadian
provinces are either discussing the ques-
tion or have already made more or less
restriction of the trade.

The Fergus Falls Free Press publishes
the statement that H. G. Hansbrough,
for many years United States senator
from North Dakota, is running grist
mill IN Virginia. The senator must feel
right at home. for he certainly ground
the grist in his political mill.
