Many reactionary Democrats have
strongly urged the Governor not tc
appoint him.
8. D. Works and J. D. Sullivan have
been the most active in this move

Their reasons look very cheap and
ridiculous.
They charged that Vasaly is not G

Well, he didn't train with that
crowd very much; but there might be
a difference Of opinion as to which are
the good Democrats. Vasaly certain

BURBANK FARMERS
PROTEST AGAINST BIG DITCH

Don't Want Crow Lake Drained Un-
less New London Mill Dam Is
Removed.
A mass meeting was held in the
Burbank town hall on April 3rd to dis
cuss the proposed ditch to drain
Crow lake as it would effect the peo-
pie at that end of the ditch, writes
G. R. Sandvig in the Belgrade Trib-
une. 1t was acknowledged that such
a ditch would bring down upon the
people Of that community the flood
waters of upper end of the ditch,
while the New London dam would
back up the water and hold it there
Some discussed the possibility of
buying the New London dam and
then letting the water out of it. 1t
was suggested that it would never
pay for those who were effected by
the dam to buy it just to let
| the water off from their land,
it was proposed by some that if
the people at the upper end of the
ditch could also be taxed for paying
for the dam, there was a possibility
that it could be purchased. an
nounced that so far as the New Lon
don dam was concerned that was their
own problem, but as this was their
first meeting relating to the proposed
ditch that have received any know
ledge Of until the meeting was past
had arranged my business to be
present to fight against the ditch and
proceeded to flight" it on general
principles, but had not talked long
when some one spoke up and in
formed me that that meeting had not
been called to favor the ditch but 10
protest against it,
A resolution was passed at the mass
meeting, without opposition, protest
ing against the big ditch.
Some again took up the question
of the New London mill dam. 1t was
suggested by those interested that it
could do no harm to try to find o1t
what it would cost to purchase the
dam. The chairman of the meeting,
who seemed we'll posted on the sub
iject, held out no hope that anything
could be done with the dam even if
they could raise the money to pur-
chase it, and referred to a case not
very far away where some farmers
had purchased a mill and mill dam.
When they proceeded to let the water
out Of their own dam the village
where the dam was located brought
an Injunction restraining them from
letting the water out Of their own
dam. The injunction was sustained
by the court and though dynamite
has been tried they have failed to
move the dam.
However, a committee was appoint
ed to meet with the owners of the
New London dam and see what the
dam could be purchased for, etc
More than thirty farmers were pres
ent at the mass meeting.
The following resolution was sign
ed:
Resolved, That we are sincerely
opposed to having ditch dug begin
ming at Crow Lake or vicinity anG
continuing down the middle fork Of
Crow river to or near the Metca]1
bridge or to any ditch connecting in
any way with the said Grow river"

False Economy

Perhaps you use an alum baking

cheaper and Therefore more eco
nomi cal. But is it?
Leading food experts and medi-
cal authorities have for years
declared that alum baking powders
are not safe to be used. The
chief European nations prohibit
them altogether.
Can it be truthful1y said that
an article Of food so generally
condemned is economi cal at any
price?
Royal Baking Powder, viii CHI is
made from cream Of tartar, adds
only healthful qualities to the
food.
