|. D. planning MILL
WILL START MONDAY
Resumption of Operations in Saw Mill
and Box Factory viii Be Announced
Next Week

Operations in the planning mill OF the
Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. will begin
Monday next, after being shut down
since the latter part of December. Just
when the big saw mill and box factory
will start is not known at this time but
it is expected that an announcement
will be made when General Manager
Gardner returns the last of this week.
He is now in Seattle after having spent
a month in the east where he attended
a meeting OF the stockholders and di-
rectors of the company held in Mime
apolis in January.
Operations in the planning mill will
give employment to some 25 or 80
men only at this time as the mill will
not run to its full capacity until later
in the season.
There is an unconfrmed rumor afoat
that the saw mill is to start up about
the tenth Of March and run night and
day. Whether the conditions of the
lumber industry will warrant such a
move is known only to the managers.
So far there has been no advance in
the price, which has for some time
been discouragingly low. The for
eign demand is growing stronger from
day to day but it is the domestic de-
mand on which the industry thrives,
and so far il has shown little indication
OF getting out of the doldrums in
which it has been becalmed for sew
years.

COUNTY ASSESSOR
JOHNSON is IN BAD
Mixed Up in SCandaIOuS Mess About first
of Year-HaS Been Absent From
the County Since

County Assessor Joe Johnson, quite
we'll known here, was mixed up in an
unsavory mess with a woman in one Of
the Wenatchee hotels 1t is said his
wife was in the hotel at the time and
accidentally stumbles onto him. The
matter was attempted to be hushed up
by his political friends, the more it
was hushed down the more it would
bob up. Well, Joe got out Of town,
and has been away since. Sometimes
he is heard Of in Seattle, and then
again he bobs up somewhere else.
Anyway he has been away from his
office, and there is talk about the
county seat of recalling him. Others
want to bring court action, that being
cheaper and quicker.
The woman in the case was at one
time employed in a Leavenworth res
taurant, we are told. The Wenatchee
World of Tuesday says:
Where is County Assessor Joe
Johnson?' Some two weeks ago Off
GERS of the republican county central
committee attempted to get in touch
with him in Seattle, to either secure
his resignation or learn something def
mite as to what he was planning on do
ing relative to holding down the office
to which he had been elected, but
from which he had absented himself
since the first of the year, TIE local
officers were notified that Johnson had
gone to the depot in Seattle with his
grip and had told friends he was going
back to Wenatchee. Since that time
there has been absolutely no trace Of
him, altho the general impression
seems to be that he is somewhere in
Idaho.
What is to be done about the
Officer is the question very frequently
asked, and at the present time there
has been no definite plan worked out.
1t seems to be the general supposition
that the county commissioners when
they meet next week, will start recall
proceedings against Johnson, should
County Attorney Williams hold that
the only method for removing derelict
county officials lies in the recall.
The World further says: The re-
gretable feature in this court house
scandal is that Johnson's family is
brought into unpleasant notoriety, al
tho no blame attaches to them. They
keenly regret the unpleasantness and
the sympathy of the entire community
is with them
Don't get Joe Johnson and Jake
Johnson mixed in your mind, Mr..
Reader. Our Joe is no prize fighter;
he's only county assessor and his skin
is white.
Homer Grant, deputy in the asses
ssors Office, received a letter Tuesday
from his chief, Johnson, saying he
would be back Saturday. He made
no explanation Of his absence other than
that he was attending to business affairs
in Idaho

OUTLINES DUTIES OF
FRUITGROWERS COUNCIL
Montana Member Believes Apple RaiserS
Are Sure To Reap Benefits From
Tacoma Meeting

That the growers OF the Northwest
can reap a tangible benefit from the
outcome of the Tacoma meeting Of
fruitgrowers held last week, is the opin-
ion of Ward M. Sackett, Of Corvallis,
Montana, the member OF the newly
created board of control from that state.
Mr.. Sackett also explained the respec-
tive duties of the Growers Council, the
board of control and the executive
committee.
Delegates at the Tacoma conven-
ton, representing all of the growers OF
the different districts, irrespective Of af-
filiations, resolved themselves into what
is now known as the growers council
Mr.. Sackett stated. The Council is a
permanent organization and at the pres
ent time is composed Of 107 members,
district representation being proportion
ate to tonnage. It is the ultimate
source of authority.
Each of the ten district delegations
included within the council nominated
one member to the board of control,
composed of ten members, who, how
ever, were actually elected by the en-
tire Growers Council. The board Of
control has in a general way complete
supervision of the work of the organiza-
ton. Each member of the board must
be bonafde grower and cannot be a
salaried officer or employee of any
marketing concern.
THE executive committee OF three
members was nominated by the Grow
ers Council but actually elected by the
board of control. This committee is
TO be the active business head OF the
organization, working under the ten
members Of the board of control. When
complaints are filed by either growers
or shippers against shipper because
of acts injurious to price maintenance
or the best interests of the industry,
the committee is empowered to inves-
tigate the records of the shipper in
question and present the facts, as as
certained, to the complainant and the
ten members of the board of control,
allowing public opinion to correct the
injustice Publicity is to be the rem
edy. Through this operation it is hoped
that consignments may be eliminated
and auction sales restricted as far as
found practicable, and also that the.
grading and packing of fruit may be
standardized. Rules covering details
have not been worked out yet, but the
consensus OF opinion at Tacoma was
that the scope of the plan should cover
the ground indicated.
1T should be understood that the
plan does not by any means set up a
central selling agency. In fact, it does
not interfere with or usurp any OF the
powers of the marketing agencies. The
organization is merely advisory.
IF the growers in the various dis
tricts will affiliate themselves with some
shipping organization which will then
enter into the agreement proposed
there is no question that the growers
will benefit by receiving returns for
their fruit more nearly at its true value
than is obtained at present; moreover
shippers will gain by having more
stable markets and more uniformly
Graded and packed product to handle. "

note has been sounded In this great
agricultural meeting.
The program for every day of the
convention is a good one, there being
a number OF noted speakers each day
who will have something of especial
interest to tell the agriculturalists OF

morrow as printed above, will be car
ried out, all the speakers advertised
for the entire week having accepted
the invitation to address the farmers
on the subjects assigned to them.
The entire city will be busy next
week and the hotels, restaurants and
the stores have made special arrange
ments to take care of the big crowd.
1t will be one of the largest and
most rushing weeks in the history Of
the city and Fargo is prepared to
handle the crowd, assuring plenty Of
seating room in the new auditorium for
all who attend.
At the Home Products show it is ex-
pected that every exhibit will be in
place by o'clock this evening and
eevrything will be in readiness for
complete show when the doors open
tomorrow morning. There are now
forty three exhibitors and these will
give the people of the two cities and

Judge A. G. Smith of the Univ ersity
of Minnesota, will deliver lecture
before the Grain Growers Tuesday
afternoon at 1880 O'Clock on the sub
ject of The Economical Value OK
Poultry Raising.
The show that is now on is with
out a doubt the best that has ever
been held in the state of North Dakota,
both in the number of birds exhibited
and in the quality of the stock showa
The birds rank high, according to
the statement of the judges. who are
much pleased with the entire show.
The facilities for exhibiting are all
most perfect, the Bowers building on
N. p. avenue, few doors west OF
the Orpheum theatre, is admirable for
the purpose, the four large rooms in
use furnishing plenty OF room for the
show and offices and the lighting
facilities are ideal both during the day
and night. Large carbon lights have
been installed for use at night maxi
ing the rooms almost as light as DUR
ing the day time.
A large number OF people called
at the show today to see the kings and
queens of the barnyard that this week
are holding court. The fact that the
ribbons are all In place is an addition
all incentive for visitors to yislt the
show.

Field glasses which were taken

technical evidence, convinced the
writer that the equipment of the Rus

intelligently divided into small sec

During the first week of the war the
Russians increased the number OF
their heavy field howitzers, until each
army corps had three batteries OF
four pieces each. Before thac these
heavy field howitZers were detailed
with the armies "a larger unit than
the army corps) each army having
from three to four batteries.

experiences which left no doubt as to
the efficiency of the Russian artillery
