.M|NOT FIGURES
WERE INCORRECT

The recent figures as given out by
the secretary of state relative to the
population of Minot were entirely
wrong, according to more recent fig.
ures. The fault, however, was entire
ly with the Minot enumerator, or who
ever sent in the census books. Ten
pages of names, averaging about 40
names to a page, were not totaled,
and consequently were not counted.
The, mistake was made in the figures
turned in for the Second ward. An
error was also found in the figures
for the Third ward ..
The books we're sent back to Mi
not for correction by the secretary of
state and it will probably be several
weeks before the correct figures are
procurable. Minot's population, how
e~er will be we'll over 10000.

POPE IS PLEASED
OVER INTERVIEW
Thinks Cardinal Gibbons Inter
view With, President Very
Important.

Washington, Sept. 4.-When Cardi-
nal Gibbons called at the White House
on Thursday he said he had delivered
message to the President from Pope
Benedict. The Cardinal, however, de-
clined to discuss the contents Of the
massage.
From other sources it was learned
that message had reached Cardinal
Gibbons by cable on Monday.
Rome, Sept. 4.-Cardinal Gibbons
interview with President Wilson is
considered by the Vatican as the most
important event in the campaign for
the establishment Of peace, but the
Holy See wishes to have the attitude
of the Pope plainly set forth to avoid
misunderstanding and, therefore. has
issued a formal statement to the effect
that the Pope did not send any special
message by the Cardinal to the Presi-
cent Of tie United States. .-. ...
The situation at the present mo-
ment, it is pointed out, does not seem
favorable for the Pope to take the ini
tiative in the matter of peace, but the
Pontiff is ready to help in all possible
ways in any ec0rts in that direction
from whatever quarter It comes.
The opinions expressed in Vatican
circles here is that the United States
is in the best position to undertake
such a message.

TAX COMMISSION
TO START ACTION
No Warrants Drawn for Last
Months Salaries by Com
missioners.

The three members of the State
Tax commission, who with the excep
ton of one man, are on the unsalaried
list, will start IN action soon
seeking to compel the state treasurer
to pay their salaries.
The state tax commissioners are in
a most peculiar, situation. The last
legislative assembly did not abolish
the tax commission, out only made an
appropriation for the salary OF one
man. Last month the warrant was
issued to Commissioner Wallace, and
Commissioners Steele and Packard
put in bills with the state auditor for
their salaries. They were refused On
the ground of no appropriation. The
action which will be started at once
has been under consideration by the
members OF the commission from the
outset. J..
The commission will petition the
supreme court to issue mandamns
compelling the state treasurer and
the state auditor to pay them. 1t is
likely that an early date will be nam
ed for hearing the case.

Satisfactory Adjustment
Of Ignite Coal Rates
Made at Hearing Yesterday

1t was we'll satisfied crowd of rail
road men, coal men and railroad COM
missioners who concluded their lab
ors this morning at o'clock at the
Mckenzie hotel and there were con-
gratulations and good feeling all
around over the conclusion Of an IL
hour session on coal rates. There was
good reason for this because solu-
ton of the Ignite coal rate situation
had been reached and all interests
brought together in a satisfactory
basis for transporting coal to all parts
of the state at figure profitable to
the miners and reasonable to the con-
sumer.
1t will be remembered there were
some issues in the proposed Ignite
coal rate recently promulgated by the
railroad commission unsatisfactory to
the carriers and miners and as re-
suit of representations that it was
possible to reach more satisfactory
basis by another hearing in the mat
ter, this meeting was arranged and
all concerned feel gratified over the
result.
The hearing began yesterday after
noon in the senate chamber at the
capitol and was not adjourned until
after seven o'clock, when an adjourn
ment was taken for supper. Al $3.50
p. m. the hearing was resumed in the
parlors of the Mckenzie hotel, and
when final adjournment came all the
troubles had been ironed out. Through
out the two sessions spirit of give
and take prevailed and the new rate,
which will soon be promulgated and
put into effect, will permit competi-
ton by all the mines in the state in

her head, looked him straight in the
eye with decision and a sweetness
which bowed his spirit and caused his
head in turn to fall upon his breast.
What father can do for child, l
will do for you" he murmured, and led
her back to her mother.
A week, and Deborah Scoville had
evolved a home out of chaos. That is,
within limits. She had not entered
the judges rooms, nor even offered to
do so. Later, there must be change.
So particular a man as the judge
would soon find himself too uncOm-
Portable to endure the lack of those
attentions which he had been used to
in Bela's day. He had not even asked
for clean sheets, and sometimes she
had found herself wondering, with a
strange shrinking of her heart. if his
bed was ever made, or whether he had
not been driven at times to lie down in
his clothes.
She had some reason for these
doubtful conclusions. In her ram
blings through the house she had come
upon Bela's room. 1t was in a loft
over the kitchen and she had been
much amazed at its condition. In
some respects it looked as decent as
she could expect, but in the matter of
bed and bed clothes it presented an
aspect somewhat startling. The
clothes were there, tossed in a heap
on the floor, but there was no bed in
sight nor anything which could have
served as such.
1t had been dragged out. Evidences
of this were everywhere on the mar
row, twisted staircase. A smile, half
pitiful, half self-scornful, curved her
lips as she remembered the rat-tat-tat
she had heard on that dismal night
when she clung listening to the fence,
and wondered now if it had not been
the humping of this cot sliding from
step to step.
But no! the repeated stroke of q
hammer is unmistakable. He had
played the carpenter that night as
well as the mover, and with no visible
results. Mystery still reigned in the
house for all the charm and order she
had brought into it; a mystery which
deeply interested her, and which she
yet hoped to solve, notwithstanding its
remoteness from the real problem OF
her existence.
