The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1915-02-18

In the course of a couple of weeks our legislature will adjourn
and the people of the state, who wish to become familiar with the
many new laws passed can spend the next two years'studying and
then those laws which they have about mastered may get into
actual working order and we will have another session of the leg
islature to change them. The laws of this state have changed so
rapidly that it would take a Philadelphia lawyer busy to keep track
of them, to say nothing of the average man.
The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1915-02-18

There is a bill now pending in the legislature, which if passed
would in a short time create no end of expense and trouble to
many counties in the state, and that is a bill relative to changing
the law regarding the removal of county seats. If this bill as in
troduced is passed it would be we'll for counties to have their
court house neatly arranged on wheels, so that the seat of gov
eminent could be shifted from one place to another every time the
tide of public sentiment Gibbs and flows for or against this or that
town. Because it would be so easy to start a county seat removal
campaign that hardly a county seat IN the state would be permancc
this bin is a stipulation that if the county buildings do not repre-;
sent more than $4,000 under an appraisement. that the removal
proposition could be brought up at any time. Therefore if a fire
should come along and wipe out the court house and jail, or if the
right set of appraisers be secured how easy it would be. to have a
county seat fight. It has been plainly stated by one insurance
company that if this law is passed that their company would re-
would be a hazardous risk under such a law: Just why this bill
ly known, but it shows the ea1narks of a gentleman not more than
a hundred miles from here and one who lives in an adjoining coun-
ty, and the real object is for political purposes. We believe that
our present legislature would be very unwise to throw the bars
down to endless litigation and expense for every county in the
the matter.

The Fargo Courier-News is making a strenuous fight against
the saloons in Moorhead, the city across the muddy Red from
Fargo. Let the good work go on. We hope the Courier-News will
eventually. succeed in seeing the saloons banshed from it's door.
No nterprising city like Fargo can afford to have such a dumping
ground right at its back door. For the past years when the aver
age person has thought Of Moorhead he has thought of it as a
place where strong drink and baudy houses have run rampant, and
1t mas become patent that the people of that city would never wake
up to the real condition of things unless they were shown the error
OF their way, and it begins to look as though it was up to Fargo to
DO the stunt" and in the Cou1ierNews they have a good cham
pion.

One of the most important tools on a farm is a good harrow, and
then the next thing is to keep it busy from the time spring opens
up until all grain is up. If farmers would harrow their fields
more they would make good money by it.

News the following communication:
FThc injunction case was decided
by Judge Nucsslc tlissolving the
temporary Injunction. This was
so decided because the cattle in
question were then on the Cannon
ball sub-agcncy reserve, a tract OF
2IO acres in section 26, township
13i, range 20; subsequently the
order from the superintendent OF
the Standing Rock reservation was
given that the cattle should be
dippcd or removed from the rescr-
vation" a definition of the word
Reservation was asked, and an
other order given that the cattle be
removed from the government land
reserved for the Cannonball sub
agency. This removal has been
effected, the cattle arc now on the
northwest quarter, section 81, town

mile distance from the sub-agency,
but within the limits OF Sioux

The Wealth In Three Crops

Compilations made at Gran d
Forks on the basis of the latest gov
ernnlcnt estimates on the production
Of the three crops, wheat, oats and
barley, show that the prices which
may reasonably be expected when
the cropi is marketed, allowing some
shrink;,ge from the prices Of Aug.
ust II, will yield to North Dakota
an average OF more than $3.50 pei
capita, which is an increase of slO(
per capita over the returns OF 19l 4.
This means an average of III ore than
$500 from these three crops alone
for nearly every family OF five per-
sons in the state. When the figures
for all crops are available it is re-
garded as certain that the wealth
production in North Dakota will be
found to llavc far exceeded that OF
any other state in the Union.

Unknown Harvest Hand Killed

An unknown harvest hand fell
off a Milwaukee freight train last
Tuesday while crossing the Cam
.nonLall river at Porcupine station.
The railroad agent at Shields was
notified and search made for the
body which was recovered Thurs
day.
The Morton county authorities
were notified and an inquest held.
The Jury returned a verdict Of ac-
cidcntal death and the remains worx
inferred in Shields cemetery.
1t has been the custom of the
Milwaukee road to haul harvest
hands up the line free. the men
generally riding on the top OF the
carson this train over fifty were
riding. ...
The victim S head was badly cut
up and whether he received this in
the fall by striking on the bridge OF
whether he was struck hy some ol
his partners and threw off the train
is a matter OF conjecture.

Grain House For Winona

Plans are under way that may
prove a great convenience for the
farmers in the Winona neighbor-
hood. At present time Winona
people are about as far from market
as any section of the county. Fur
ther than that, the roads in that
section arc none too good for haul
ing loads. Hence, the time and
expense OF marketing grain has
caused a great deal Of Inconvenience
for those farmers. Now a flat house
is to he constructed near Winona
on the river bank. Grai in and like
produce can be marketed there at
two cents per bushcl under Pollock
and Linton prices. The grain will
then be shipped by boat to Bismarck
or other markcts.-Linton Record.
