TRUNK ROAD FOR WILLIAMS
COUNTY IS THE SOLUTION
COM. NJ. G. WEBB ENDORSES THE PLAN FOR
BETTER ROADS---THE PROBLEM FROM
COUNTY BOARDS VIEW POINT

As this subject has come to my notice through
the local papers and is being discussed great
deal, allow me to inform the many readers of the
Graphic that the county commissioners stand
ready at any and I'll times to boost for good roads
At our last meeting in November, the proposition
was discussed at length, the board having some
literature from several counties throughout the
state that have adopted county supervision OF pub
lie highways They all spoke very highly OF the
new system over the old way of road building with
board could learn there was no cooperation be-
tween the commissioners the supervisor and the
townships in that county.
AS stated the commissioners discussed this
movement but took no action However the board
took the initiative step directing the county audi
tor to write letter to the township boards asking
their cooperation with the freeholders in their re-
spective townships, so they might discuss the
feasibility of trunk lines throughout Williams
county, Then if the feeling warrants the county
board to have the subject voted on. l am sure it
will be taken care of at the June Primary: OF
course you all realize there is great deal of pre-
liminary work to be done before things could be
shaped for vote on the subject. There would
also be some expense connected with the enter
prise, such as blueprints where these trunk lines
are to be established before Mr.. Farmer puts his
cross after yes. Another thing he will ask what
is the actual cost and how is it going to effect my
taxes Did you take notice Of that word actual |
inserted there instead Of estimated. This road
building is one of the greatest problems the COM
missioners have to deal with We get more abuse
over roads than all the rest of the county items
combined Dear reader, just stop and think. The
county board are human beings and they try to
please all, even though all are not pleased. If all
the petitions that are on file granted at once
it would bankrupt the county SO to be fair and
impartial to all the petitions are granted IN their
order of filing. Of course you realize there are

DISTRICT COURT WORKING ON
HEAVY CALENDAR THIS WEEK
THIRTY. EIGHT CRIMINAL AND 46 CIVIL
CASES---1S CASES ARE LIQUOR LAW
VIOLATIONS
COURT CASES. MOTIONS AND MAKING CAL
ENDAR READY FOR JURY, CALLED
JANUARY 4TH

With Judge Frank E. Fisk on the bench and
full quota of attorneys at the bar, the regular
December term of district court was called to or
der by Deputy Sheriff Rutledge Monday forenoon:
recess was taken Tuesday to allow the use OF
the court room for the delinquent tax sale. The
absence of June term makes rather full calen-
dar for this term. Thirty Eight criminal and 46
civil cases were on the docket when the session
opened but quite number of these have already
been disposed of. Eighteen of the criminal cases
have their rise in violations fthe prohibition law
---bootlegging is much the most popular form OF
fracturng the law, but importing, selling, barter
ing, disposing of, and giving away are numerously
mentioned.
Monday and Wednesday several of the jail in
mates were arraigned before the court to plead
guilty or not guilty In most cases they were
without counsel and the court appointed attorneys
to take their cases. Several cases were dismissed
for various reasons.
Arthur George, mere boy, pleaded guilty to
obtaining money under false pretenses and was
let off with a six-months Jail sentence and the
costs of the case
O. l.. Lesselyoung, charged with obtaining
property by fraud, around Wildrose, failed to ap
pear when his case was called and his $500 surety
bond was declared forfeited.
Three criminal cases are up for trial here on
change of venue from Mckenzie county and States
Attorney Geo. F. Shafer was present to argue GER
tain motions in connection.
The calendar will undoubtedly be gotten ready
for the jury this week and recess taken until
January 4th.

COOPERATIVE INDEPENDENT
MARKETING, PORK and WHEAT
SMALL. PORK PACKING PLANTS FOUND TO
BE PRACTICAL AND SUCCESSFUL
VENTURES
EOI1TTY FINDS READY SALE FOR OUR GOOD
WHEAT IF CLEANUP. L. BURD1CK
INVESTIGATES

That the establishment of independent, CO.
operative packing plants within the state as a con-
trolled and economic home market and source OF
home supply, is practical promising plan as ap-
piled to pork for the pork producers OF North pa
kota, is the conclusion of Usher L. Burdick after
careful inquiry into the subject.
At Chicago few days ago Mr.. Burdick met a
large number of stock raisers and meat packers at
a convention called for consideration OF the foot
and mouth disease. It was an unusual opportun-
ity end being alive to the Importance and tlme-
ness of the question of cooperative meat curing
plants Mr. Burdick consulted many of the best
Informed men in the Northwest. He met repre-
sentatives of small, independent plants located at
Kansas City and Sioux City, representatives from
the independent cooperative plant at Great Falls
and visited the Armour and Swift houses in Chi
cago Many of the men whose opinions were gath
cred have had years of experience in the business
and access to the inside facts and figures.
Mr. Burdick was fortunate in getting an in
terview with Dr. T. B. Huff formerly of Williston
and now located at Sioux City. Dr. Huff is asso-
ciated with two men who have had long experience
in the packing business with the large houses and
the three are now building small, $4,000 pork
packing plant at Sioux City. This venture was
decided on after thorough and exhaustive study
of the proposition.
Opinions Agree
It was the opinion of every man consulted that
small plants could be made successful, with etfl-
cient management, if confined to the handling OF
hogs The small plant, it claimed could not
successfully handle cattle for the reasons that the

WLLISTON CITIZENS LOSE BY FIRE

Medicine Lake was the scene of disastrous
fire last Sunday morning which for time threat
ened to destroy the entire business section of the
thriving little city, The fire was first discovered
about three o'clock in the J. o. johnson hardware
store and despite hard and heroic work on the
part of the citizens this building together with
the general store owned by John Shikany and
Kassis Bros. of this city was in a short time a
mass of smouldering debris. Messrs Shikany &
Kassis carried about an $4,000 stock Of goods

1916, the subscription price of the Graphic will

This raise in rate is not without consideration.

two and make it for the simple reason that it is
impossible to get out such paper as the Graphic

a year. Everything has advanced in the way of
expense Paper, labor, etc., being about forty per
cent higher than a few years ago. We feel thai

that we are getting out paper we'll worth dol
lar and half or even and we will endeavor
to improve we go along.

to pay in advance we have set the date for the ad-
vance as January 18th, 1916. We will accept sub
scrptions at the dollar rate up to that time and
anyone wishing to pay in advance before that date
can pay as far ahead as they wish at the dollar
rate After January 18th however the rate will
be strictly dollar and half year and unpaid
subscriptions will be figured at one dollar up to
January 18th and at the dollar and a half rate
thereafter

biggest thing of the week. Men may 40

when Nature gets good and ready every
thing is adjusted very quietly without
trouble or expense. So King Winter don

wheat is sliding in and the Christmas sea-

sally popular. They have it in Minneapo-

they are searching for a mystery person.

FEATURE OF THE SHORT COURSE

Several years ago Alfred Wenz was
practical and successful South Dakota
farmer. Then he became a special investi-
gator of farm subjects, especially market
ing, for the Dakota Farmer at Aberdeen,
S. D. His work was so successful and
satisfactory that he was recently made as
sociate editor of that great farm journal.
Mr.. Wenz is clear and interesting writer
and speaker. He has made thorough
study of home marketing under plans
similar to those now being tried by local
farm clubs Mr.. Wenz will be one of num-
erous talented men who will assist at the
Third Annual Williams County Short
Course, to be held at Williston, February
8 to II. Those dates are seven weeks
away but the Graphic intends to keep
them and the many good features before
it's readers. This should greatly surpass
the previous Short Courses. 1t will be
held in the commodous and comfortable
armory- auditorium and it is NOT for Will
liston and the territory Immediately sur
rounding but for ALL WILLIAMS COUN-
TY. People from outside the county are
equally welcome.

Graphic Was Awarded Slice of
Appreciation 1st Prize Money

Williams and Williston score again. Out of
forty-two newspapers entered in the $1OO prize
contest for the best booster edition issue by a
North Dakota paper Appreciation Week the Will
judges divided the honor and the money. The
Enderlin Independent is mentioned first IN the
ranking with the Graphic second. The 1ndepen-
dent was printed on book paper. The Judges who
are Minnesota editors. examined the different pa
pers at St. Paul and found they could not in fair
ness give all of the prize to any one Of four be-,
cause each excelled the others in some special
features. The Williston Herald got out a fine
booster edition but did not enter it.
It is needless to say that the Graphic is proud
and grateful for the honor but feels that the
credit is due large to Williams county and Will
liston---for our % page edition of November l8---
we simply gathered some of the abundant ma
teria that is all around us. Undoubtedly one OF
the features in which the Graphic eXceled was the
solid page of splendid letters from Williams coun-
ty farmers, telling of their experience and sue
cess since locating here. It is striking ilustra-
ton of how much good these real builders of the
West can do their community by cooperating IN
publicity work:
The news account of the awarding follows
st. Paul, Minn., Dec. 11.---The Enderlin 1nde-
pendent today was awarded first prize in the
North Dakota Appreciation week booster edition
contest. The prize was to be 500, but the COM
mittee recommended division of the money as
follows: Enderlin Independent, $40; Williston
Graphic, Bismarck Palladium and Valley City
Times 500 each. This action was taken because
the papers excelled each other in some feature
The Bottineau County Pioneer, the Tolley
Journal, the Slope County News, the Watford
Guide, the Dickinson Record Post, the Dickinson
Press and the Marmarth Mail, all received special
mention and are made subjects of special report
by the committee because of certain individual
features
The Larimore Pioneer was highly commend
ed. It was not entered in the contest because OF
the fact that Edgar L. Richter, the editor, was
manager of the Appreciation week work.
The judges were: J. C. Morrison of Morris
Mimi, present president of the Minnesota Ed
torial association; H. C. Hotaling, past president
of the Minnesota Editorial association, and G. B:
Bjornson of Minneota, Minn., past president OF
the Minnesota association and present president
of the National Editorial association.
Forty-two publications of North Dakota, or
state, entered the contest.
