TOWN OF NORTHERN
- VOTES TO CONSOLIDATE

By majority Of 20 votes the resi-.
dents of the Town Of Northern have
voted to establish consolidated
school. w. B. Stewart, superintend-
ent of schools, said this morning that
81 votes were cast, 80 being in favor
of consolidation. This is the third
time that elections on the PROPOSE
tion have been held in Northern, one
being held in 1913 and another In
1914. Consolidation was approved
by majority of one vote last year,
but it was believed best to obtain a
larger endorsement. There are now
but three schools in Northern. Supt.
Stewart has received a petition from
Summit, School District No. So, ask
ing that a special election be held
there for the purpose of voting on
consolidation. There are now IL
consolidated school districts in Bel
trami county.

STATE PAYS $4,000
IN WOLF BOUNTIES

In spite Of the fact that $4,000
has been paid out in wolf bounties
by the state of Minnesota for the
two years ending July 81, 1915, there
are unpaid claims on hand amounting
to $1O,132, and state officials are
wondering what is to be done with
bounty claims in the future. The Leg
islature appropriated only $4,000 a
year for the next two years, and the
attorney general has ruled that this
appropriation cannot be used to pay
back claims. In 1913 there was an
appropriation of $4,000 a year, but
the. 1915 legislature made defic-
iency appropriation of $4,000 which
also proved insufficient. An effort
was made last winter to cut down
the wolf bounty.

MOTION MADE THIS MORNING

Again the suit for damages brought
by John Pogue, former mayer of Be.
midi, against the Great Northern
railway company, is attracting the
attention of the district court a mo-
tiOn requesting that the Judgment fol
$4,000 returned last spring be set
aside, Notwithstanding the verdict OF
that new trial be granted, being
heard by Judge G. w. Stanton in
chambers this morning.
This case was first brought in
Clearwater county but was dismissed
1t was then brought in Beltrami
county and four trials have been held
the first resulting in dismissal, the
seconded in directed verdict, the
third in a verdict of $4,000 for the
plaintiff and the fourth in a verdict
Of $4,000. Now comes another re-
quest for new trial.,
Alexander L. James, former assist
ant attorney general, representing
the railway company, based his claim
for a new trial On the, grounds that
the evidence failed to show negli-
gence on the part of the railway
while it did bring out the fact that
Pogue was guilty of contributory neg
ligence.
The accident for which POgue seeks
to recover damages occurred at the
Wilton crossing in October, 1909, a
Ford automobile which he was driv-
ing being struck by a freight train
The car was demolished-an the oc-
cupants of the. car narrowly escaped
death. Pogues sued to recover $10,-
900 for personal injuries, care and
the loss of the machine. He is rep
resented by Marshall A. Spooner and

Berlin, Aug. 18.-Despite the ac-
tivities of DR.. Karl Liebknecht, q
radical serialist, majority of the
socialists are prepared to vote on a
war credit of $2,200,O00,000 when
the reichstag convenes tomorrow. A
few socialists may leave the hall as
an act of silent protest, but the ma
jority of the members of the party
have announced their determination
to support the government.
AS a spectacle the session Of to-
morrow promises to equal the that
of year ago when the first war
credits were passed among unparal-
leled scenes. The vote tomorrow, it
is believed, will reveal splits between
the national Liberal and Socialist
parties. Social labor leaders, for in
stance, will insist that action be
taken against food speculators.

Washington, Aug. 18.-Housins

good reasons, it is thought, why
these, especially the women, should
be directly under Uncle Sans con.
troll.
1nadequacy of present prison facili-
ties is causing Attorney General
Gregory no little concern. After a
recent inspection of the penitentiary
at Fort Leavenworth, he announced
that he intended to ask congress to
make further provisions for pris-
Oners.
There are but three federal peni-
tentiaries- Ca, Fort Leav-
enworth, Kan, and Mcneil Island,
Wash. A new one probably would
be located somewhere in the East
That would strike good medium, it
is thought, between Atlanta and Fort

eral government should cease sending
it's prisoners to state institutions" /"
said the attorney general, "is that
the parole laws cannot be properly
administered unless prisoners are
kept directly under the eyes of gov.
ernment agents. Then, besides, this
thing of scattering woman prisoners
all around is bad, generally"
Uncle Sam has only about 40 out
of about 500 women in his own pris-
ons. There are approximately 600
males that the attorney general
thinks should be taken out of state
penitentiaries.
Labor at federal prisons is dis
tinct problem with the department of
justice. If the attorney general can
have his way all federal prisoners
will soon be turning out general sup
plies for the government, including
equipment for the army and. navy,
such as uniforms, shoes and caps
Congress will be asked to authorize
this. The scheme has worked well in
Japan. This is pointed out as an

Beltrami Lads Find Spud Growing
Fascinating With Premiums in
Sight-Make Practical Farmers.
fNY OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED

Not all youngsters who expect some
day to be farmers can attend agri-
cultural colleges. Neither can all of
them reap the precious benefit of
contact and instruction, which is the
lot of children born and brought up
on farms.
But the child of today has far
greater advantages than his father
or his grandfather. The federal gov
ernment and the state have stepped
in to help him further inclinations
he may have for agriculture.
There are countless opportunities
for the boy to learn" said w. B.
Stewart, county superintendent of
schools, this morning. 'In Mime
sofa the school and agricultural Off
cials have co-operated and are pro-
noting youthful industry by an ap-
peal to the ever present spirit Of RI
valry."
Mr.. Stewart recalled how the Off
cials realized that some interest must
be aroused among the boys and girls
it they were to become enthusiastic
in raising potatoes. and they set about
to surmount the difficulty of exciting
that interest.
"They started potato contest, :"
said Mr.. Stewart. 1T was a simple
scheme. They merely enrolled as
many boys as they could, and girls
too for that matter. This took place
in the spring there are now a large
number of contestants in Beltram;
county.
Fathers Take to Plan.
"Then each entrant was apportion-
ed an eighth of an acre of his fathers
land. The fathers fell in eagerly.
And the boy or girl was instructed
to plant Carman potatoes in that
patch and weed them and water them
and watch them and kill bugs and do
the other things that farmers do to
potatoes. In short, the contestant
was to make it his business to grow
as good a crop as he possibly could.
This fall there will be prizes.'' S.
Only Carman potatoes may be
grown. This serves to standardizc
the crops and the Carman is consid-
cred the most hardy and best potato,
the country over.

BALKAN SITUATION
SATISFIES BERLIN
Curious Note Of Confidence Concern.
ing Relationship is Manifesting It.
self Among German People.
VIEW OUTLOOK WITH OPTIMISM
Bulgars Smarting Under Territorial
Losses of Former War and May Not
Agree With Car Ferdinand.
By J. w. r. MASON.

New York, Aug. 18.-A curious
note of confidence concerning the
Balkan situation is manifesting it,
self in Germany. The Germans seem
to possess certain information about
the diplomatic negotiations in South
eastern Europe not generally known,
and obviously Berlin is obtaining
much comfort from the details in its
possession. ~
The attitude of Bulgaria is I'M
questionably the principal cause of
German satisfaction with the situa-
ton. Despite the frank statement OF
Bulgaria's terms recently made by
the Bulgar prime minister to the
United Press, Germany is almost joe
ularly optimistic concerning the out
look. The only reasonable interpre-
tation of Berlin's confidence is that
assurances are in possession of the
German government concerning tile
loyalty of the Germanic birth and
training Of Czar Ferdinand of Bull
garia. Ferdinand is as thoroughly
German as the kaiser himself. lie
is prince of the Saxe-Coburg-G -Gotha
house and he did not become ruler OF
Bulgaria until he was 26 years old:
All his early training was under Teu-
tonic auspices and his point of view
is ineradicably Germanic.
Loyalty is Shown.
It seems certain that Ferdinand's s
loyalty to his ancestral race is prov
ing of immense benefit at this critical
time to Teutonic interests. But, it
is unquestionable whether Germany's s
supreme assurance that the situation
twill continue favorable to her is JUS
titled. Even though Ferdinand may
be willing to go to any length to keep
his adopted country benevolently
neutral toward his real fatherland,
the Bulgars themselves have no d.
vided loyalty. 1t would be difficult
for any Bulgarian government to
override Ferdinand, but the feat can
be accomplished, despite the title of
czar which Ferdinand recently pre-
fixed to his name.
Bulgaria Smarting.
The Bulgars are smarting under
the territorial loss they suffered in
the second Balkan war and they care
more for the recovery of that terri
tory than they do for Ferdinand. #
the opportunity comes to trade the
use of the Bulgar armies for the re-
covery of an important part of the
lost provinces, it is not probable thai
Ferdinand will succeed In holding
back his country. The Germans, in
fact. probably are counting too much
on their Bulgarian propaganda, just
as they have counted too much on
their propaganda elsewhere in the
