The Independent hears faint polite
al rumblings that are destined to be-
come more pronounced within the next
few months. 1t is quite possible that
there will be an interesting contest for
the position of judge of the Eighth Ju-
dicial district. Judge Leighton's term
will expire next year and the judge
will be candidate for reelection.
When judge has held office for five
or six years without being subjected
to any adverse criticism, it becomes
very hard matter to defeat him.
There are several, no doubt, who are
looking at Judge Leighton's posi-
ton with longing eyes, but they real
ize that their efforts might be wasted
in trying to gain it. One quite we'll
founded rumor has it that F. 3. Lam
bert, prominent Minot attorney, will
enter the contest for the place, how
ever, should this be true, it will be
some time before he makes his formal
announcement.

looks a good deal as tho the Minneap-
oils Chamber of Commerce was inter
ested in the case for the Equity Ex-
change has long been a thorn in the
flesh of that organization. We don't
see any use in going into Mysteries
over any sins of omission or commits
sion on the part of the Equity Ex-
change. No one is compelled to pat
ronize that organization unless they
care to. They can still sell their grain
thru the Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce firms if they desire and the
managers Of the Equity Exchange no
doubt realize that if they are to retain
the confidence of the public and en-
large their business, they will have to
"tote fair" We would like to see the
Exchange prosper and from what we
can learn that organization has the
best wishes of the farmers and bust
nessmen in general over the north
west.

The crop prospects are great. Cat
tie look sleek and fat on our farms.
Thousands of porkers are being fitted
for market. Farm lands are advanc-
ing rapidly in value. New houses and
barns are going up everywhere, in
cities and in the country. Every line
of business is thriving. High prices
prevail. Auto dealers cannot get ma
chimes fast enough for their trade
The banks are fairly bursting with
money. We can all wear good clothes,
enjoy holiday occasionally and this
country is going to keep out of the
war. Why shouldn't every North Da-
kotan enjoy life to it's fullest extent.

RAINFALL OF 2.14 INCHES
WITHIN TWO HOURS

Friday nights storm was record
breaker as regards a heavy precipita-
ton within given period of time, 2.14
inches of water having fallen within
two hours. There was very little dam
age as whole throughout the city,
which is a matter of congratulation up
on the part of Minot residents when
they take into consideration the i'm
mense damage to property and crops
that are reported from the eastern
portions of the state.

A new law goes into effect the first
of July, prohibiting children under Is
years from playing or hanging around
on the right of way or near cars. The
law makes the agent special officer
with power to arrest offenders. The
companies of the state are posting no.
tees in the depots relative to this law
and they will see that the law is en-
forced. This is a good law and parents
should cooperate in this matter and
see that their children are kept away
from railroad property unless they
have business there.

g. GUILTY IN FEDERAL COIJRT

Fargo Especially June 26.-William
c. Miller was found guilty of violating
the Mann Act, in federal court in ses-

ident of Marmath and the crime for
which he stands convicted was the
transportation of woman from Min

Based on the records of City Asses
sor Wheeler, the real and personal
property of the city Of Minot is placed
at close to $9,000,O00.
This computation is based upon the
present system of valuing property at
one-fourth of it's actual cash value.
Not bad record for city still in
it's teens.

Judge Pollock has decided that the
Equity Exchange is solvent and that
concern will be permitted to continue
business in North Dakota The indie

able to defend it's case with the above
results and the many friends of the

that the public had nothing to fear. 1t

The writer spent several days at
Nandan, the capital city of Mighty
Norton county, at the press conven-
the Big Muddy and we were surprised
at the development of that section of
the state. Mandan is a thriving city
Of about five thousand population, To-
Gated in picturesque spot at the
junction of the Missouri and Heart
rivers. The business and profession
al men are among the most progress
sive in the state. Mandan has twelve
blocks of paved streets, hundreds of
beautiful modern residences, fine
churches and schools, and the state
training school for boys and girls. The
government maintains an experiment.
al farm of 1880 acres, with large
buildings and many substantial i'm
provements Mandan's water is sup
piled by the Missouri, THEREFORE is as
pure as that of any city in the world.
Several new business blocks are under
construction. Mandan has three pros
porous newspapers, the News, the Re-
publican and the Pioneer, and the last
mentioned appears daily as we'll, with
up-to-date Geographic service. We
congratulate the enterprising people
of Mandan on the metropolitan city
they have built.
The German and Austrian armies
seem to be making considerable pro-
gress both in Galicia and on the west
ern battle 'front.'. Every day brings to
the English keener realization of the
enormous task that confronts them.
Russia, in spite of her serious de-
feats, is apparently confident of ulti-
mate success. The contest is demon
strating the superiority of a monarch
ial form of government in the conduct
of modern warfare. There are no
questions raised as to the practicable
ity of CONSUMPTION or the confiscation
of munition factories, such as are be-
ing forced in democratic England. The
government is supreme. An imperial
ukase is never questioned.

importance of Work.


 A negative life is a wicked life. Someone has said mo angel ever ap. peared to a man who was not at work" You cannot make man good py keeping him idle. T must be about my Fathers business." said Christ in the temple. That Is the gospel of. ev' cry man who Is loyal to his own soul Is the comment of the Ohio State Jouyaal. There Is no excuse for idle ness. Work, like virtue. religion, faith. is from witk!n. The impulse toward the right Is what keeps a man at work. and If he is not at work he. lacks the impulse. His religion is too weak to exert itself. A positive life is the only true life. Nor is mere a1trufsm the only form of work. It is as much . mans duty to help himself as 1t is to help others. SO that help Is upbuilding, which IS the very condition of one's being benefit to others. A man who loves roses, sunsets, stars. creeks. trees, birds, Is a friend of humanity. Loving Gods beautiful world includes man. or 1t Is false love-. Not to love these creations of goodness and grace denotes a negative life that is positively wicked

Maqnesla In Sea Shells.

Chemical analysis of starfishes, sea urchins and erinoids, collected from ell parts of the world. show that the skeletons of these animals contain much magnesia. The amount present IS found to vary with the temperature of the water in which the creatures lived. The percentage of magnesia Is highest in those specimens that lived In tropical waters and lowest in forms from the icy seas of Greenland and the Antarctic, with regular grada- ton between which even shows the local effect of cold ocean currents upon Mis st the sea bottom. The in vestigstions suggest that the skeie tons of these animals have the compo- sition of the manganese limestone. or dolomite, and it is possible that they furnish clues not only as to the climatic conditions under which limestones are now formed. but also ss to the temperatures of the oceans in different regions of the earth where during different periods of geologic history, great deposits of magnetism limestone were formed
