Hillstrom was re-sentenced in die
trict court to be shot by a firing
squad in the prison here on Nov. 10
for the murder of two men on Jan.

Hillstrom started to address the
court but was stopped summary.
The l. W. W. poet shrugged his Shout
ders when he was rushed back to the
death cell.
Less than half dozen persons were
in the courtroom when Hillstrom was
re-sentenced. He was smugg1ed into
and out of the room with the great
est secrecy to prevent any possibility
of an attempt at rescue by sympa-
thizers. Judge Morris L. Richie fixed
the death penalty swiftly in few
words before Hillstrom's attorney,
summoned barely in time to be pres
ent, could utter word.

RETRIEVED
BY WAR

Washington, May 26.-Special Cor
respondence.-Many an industry in
this country today has been reprieved
from death by the European war.
Such an industry is the manufacture
of waxed or greased-proof paper, a
commodity which has come into in
creasing use in the daily life of the
American people as a wrapper for all
kinds of food products.
This kind of paper requires for its
production selected raw material and
special milling equipment; and under
the ample protection afforded to ii
by the Mckinley, the Dingley and
the Payne tariff bills, plants for the
production of this paper sprang up ir
several parts of the country, and dew
eloped an annual production which in.
creased almost at a geometric ratio by
reason of the increasing necessity fol
the use of the product as required by
pure food laws and by the demand Of
the purchasing public for more com.
plete and sanitary protection of food.
product packages. For example, it is
interesting to note that a single small,

which was brought to him by his
brothers wife. When a physician ar
rived from Medicine Lake he was hur-
ried to the city and brought to Willis
ton as quickly as possible where the
operation was performed.
He was paralyzed below the waist
and little hope was held out for his
recovery at any time.
Mother Here Too Late.
The mother of the young man who
had been sent for did not arrive be-
fore he died. A third brother, whose
home is in Montana, also arrived af-
ter the death and the body was taken
to the family home at Paramount, N.
D., for burial.
Harley Thompson was arrested i'm
mediately after the shooting had been
reported to the Medicine Lake author
tiles and held on a charge of shooting
with intent to kill. The charge will
now be changed to murder. The dead
brother was not married but the ac-
cused man has a wife and two chill
dren.

MONEY
To OIL STREETS

kenmare, N. D., May PA rous-
ing Fourth Of July celebration with u
Of the frills, was decided upon at an
enthusiastic meeting of the Kenmare
Commercial club. The committee au-
pointed to solicit funds, reported ap-
proximately $1,000 subscribed by bust /
ness men and citizens and the enter
prise was given the entire backing of
the commercial club which insures it's
success. This will be Kenmare's first
celebration of the kind in seven years
and a special effort is being made to
make it an epoch making event in the
history of the town. The big attrac-
ton will probably be an aeroplane
flight, while ball games, fireworks,
free attractions in the way of broncho-
busting, vaudeville acts, a carnival
company and numerous concessions,
are to be a part of the program. A
committee made up of T. c. Tompers,
chairman, Ed. Gross and Oscar Zuer-
cher were placed in entire charge of
the celebration these having demon
strated their ability by securing the
thousand dollar fund in a whirlwind
campaign covering the business sec
ton in an afternoon.
To Oil The Streets.
Another $1,000 has been subscribed
by the citizens of Kenmare for the
purpose of sprinkling the streets with
oil, furnishing band concerts during
the summer months, and raising the
level of the Des Laos lake. Kenmare
will be the first town in the western
part of the state to try asphaltum oil
on its business streets. Four hundred
dollars has been subscribed for this
purpose and steps are being taken to
secure a sprinkler within the next two
weeks. Oil has been used with con-
siderable success in the eastern part of
the state and experts are confident
that proper application on the sand
and clay roads of Kenmare will not
only lay the dust but will prove a prac-
tical substitute for paving.
To Raise Level of Lake.
The proposition to raise the level of
the lake will mean much to the city in
view of the fact that during the past
few years the lake has been gradually
drying up. By diverting a large cou-
lee engineers predict that the water
can be raised two or three feet. which
means that the lake can again be used
tor rowing and sailing purposes. The
newly organized commercial club is
making rapid Roadway and is receiv-
ing the undivided support Of citizens
and business men.

THOMPSON DEAD
BROTHER HELD
MURDER GROWS OUT OF SHOOT
ING NEAR MEDICINE LAKE,
MONTANA.

Williston, N. D., May 27.-With the
death of Ernest Thompson, 20 years
old, at Williston hospital, his brother
Harley Thompson, who is alleged to
have inflicted the fatal wound, faces
a charge of murder in the first degree.
Both young men lived neal Medicine
Lake, Mon, where the quarrel and the
shooting resulting in Thompson's
death occurred, and where Harley
Thompson is 10Y in Jail awaiting trial.
Previous to his death in the local
hospital Ernest Thompson, knowing
that the end was near, is said to have
dictated a statement to States Attor-
ney William G. Owens in which he
placed the blame for his death upon
his brother and described in detail
the events leading up to the shooting.
Over Shooting of Dog.
According to the local authorities
who acted for the Montana officials
the Thompson brothers lived on farms
on opposite sides of the road three
miles south of Medicine Lake. Some
petty quarrels had occurred between
the men on Friday, May 9TH the day of
the shooting, a dog owned by the bro
Their who died here was shot by Harley
Thompson with a rifle.
Ernest then went to his house and
secured his shotgun, a Stevens repeat
er, and when his brother again passed
his house accompanied by his dog a
brief quarrel ensued with the result
that Ernest shot Harley's dog in re-
venge for the killing of his own pet.
Harley Thompson, according to the
story told the officers by the dying
man Immediately drew his rifle and
shot his brother down in the roadway,
the ball from the rifle entering the
side and burrying itself in the spinal
column. The bone with the bullet was
removed at the hospital and is now in
possession of States Attorney Owens.
Left in the Road.
After shooting his brother Harley
Thompson is said to have declared
that he was sorry but that the act was
necessary. Ernest, who was paralyz-
ed by the shot, was unable to move
and remained lying in the roadway TO,
three hours, covered with a blanket

The Great Northern has recently is
sued a beautiful booklet, entitled
"Zone of Plenty" and is designed to
the farming possibilities Of Min.
nesota, North Dakota Montana, Wash

plain, yet concise statement of facts
covering these states, and makes very
interesting reading, and is also in
structive. 1t is Of more than passing
interest to any North Dakotan. as on
the front is a splendid picture
of a Lake Region farm scene, being
the farm buildings and stock of Geo.

cover being devoted exclusively to a
Lake Region scene, this booklet con-
tains several pages with nice cuts Of
North Dakota farm scenes, and much
information. That the Great North
crn is doing a great deal to induce eff
migration to our state is very evident.
They know that We have the land and
all conditions for one Of the most pros
porous countries on Earth, and all that
we need is more farmers and better
farming, and they are out to help us
get them.

plant in New England furnished
monthly to one manufacturer of chew
ing gum, a car load of waxed paper to
be used for wrapping; while every
housewife is familiar with the wrapp-
ed loaf of bread which, though the in
genuity of American mechanics, now
comes to her direct from the oven,
through a machine, and is put into her
hand in a tightly wrapped waxed
paper.
Under the Payne tariff law this pa
per bore a commodity tax of 2 1-2
cents a pound and 10 per cent ad va
loren; and in 1912 there was imported
into this country waxed paper to the
value of $4,000 which paid a duty of
$104, 900. The Underwood tariff re-
duced this protection to IS per cent adj
valorem, striking off substantially one
third protection hitherto enjoyed by
this product; and Immediately the
German manufacturers of waxed pa
per began to take possession of the
American market. And on the LIST of
July, 1914, the imports of waxed pa
per from Germany alone had increased
nearly so per cent over those of the
year previous. The American manu-
facturers of waxed paper were being
driven from their own market by the
operations of a Democratic tariff law
when along came the al bringing
their salvation.
The war saved the waxed paper
business from the effects of a Demo-
cratic tariff; but war cannot save the
Democratic administration from the

81 would waste your time by detail
ing the failure of every item in this
program. No retail price was reduc-
ed by the Underwood tariff. It de-
creased our exports and increased the
imports from the day it passed until
the war broke out in Europe. Our
factories have been on part time and
our workmen on dread lines. No man
borrows easier or in any other place
than before the Federal Reserve banks
were opened. The Income tax has
been shifted to the poor through high
er rent and mortgage rates. There
never was such a fiasco in government
benevolence.
ut is a sad thing that high ideals
sincerely held and expressed with ex-
quisite grace do not always square
their theory with facts. Mr.. Wilson's
theory of tariff and the high cost of
living was wrong. Foreign goods un-
der the new tariff can change very few
retail prices under our selling condi-
tions. Imports will be landed Just
enough under American prices to get
the dealers orders and no lower. The
consumer gets no benefit, but our fac
tories close and the workmen lose
their wages"

manufacturers looked at it, and their
sentiments we'll expressed by

who declared that the Wilson admin
