NEW ROCKFORD IN EARNEST.

NEW ROCKFORD IN EARNEST.
The Independent did not realize that
New Rockford was so serious in it's
campaign for the state capital until
We received a letter from one of our
subscribers from that city, appealing
to US to keep Minot out of the contest.
The letter is so good we publish it:
note with sorrow your editorial of
the 18th in regard to the moving of
the state capital. admire your
boosting qualities, but feel that since
New Rockford started the agitation
and has the movement well in hand
at this time, it is not fair for Minot
to endeavor to steal our thunder, If
We had thot that you, Of all men,
would have endeavored to take ad
vantage of what we had started,
should have had the stuff copyrighted
and shut you out. Now be good Mi
not is fine city and is going to be the
second city in the state ere long, and
YOU don't want the state capital. Let
New Rockford have it, and its loca-
ton here will mean that Minot will be-
come the next city to Fargo, in popu-
lation and in prominence. A division
at this time will mean that Bismarck
will have more chance of retaining it.,
and you surely don't want to force this
disgrace upon our posterity-even if
we do have to stand for it.
| will hope to see your excellent
publication make due amends for
YOUR editorial and may the blessings
of the Supreme Intelligence rest upon
your head.

The Independent is pleased to note
that Charles Brewer, the veteran
newspaperman, has been selected sec
rotary of the state board of regents.
This is a very important position.
The new board has control of the
states eight educational institutions
and an effort will be made to reduce
the expenses of the these schools
This can be done to a large extent
by cutting out the duplicating of
some of the courses. The secretary
can be valuable in reducing the cost
of supplies. The new secretary ex-
poets to make a very creditable re-
cord and those who are acquainted
with his ability and his capacity for
work, know that he will succeed

The corn crop is not going to ma
ture we'll in North Dakota this year
unless the frost holds off we'll until
the latter part of September. The
corn crop, for all that, is not failure
for if cared for properly it will yet
make an immense lot of fine feed. The
silo will beat the frost at its own
game. 1t will get full value out of
your corn crop. There is bound to be
lot Of soft corn in the northwest
this fall, but this makes the best kind

The speaker of the house of repre-

tariff taxation, and at the same time
raise abundant revenue for the gov

derful thing. Looking back at this
belief expressed, no doubt, sincerely,
by Speaker Clark, we are forced to the
conclusion that the best of men some
times make big mistakes.

CAPTURED ESCAPED

Ed Molen, notorious Bowman
county horse thief, was sentenced to
the penitentiary in 1912, but escaped
and was latter heard from in Liver
pool, England. Last week when the
Barton & Bailey circus exhibited at
Marmarth an old acquaintance recog-
nized Molen in the parade dressed as
an Indian. The officers were notified
and he was placed under arrest.
He finally admitted his identity and
is now again behind the penitentiary
bars and it's safe bet that he will
serve his term ...

FOUND HIMSELF UPSIDE DOWN
5riti.n Aviator Lived 10 Tell of Weird Experience That lie Had
 in a Cloud.

A British naval a!rman when flying seaward recently entered a thick white cloud and wholly lost his sense of direction He only realized that he was upside down on finding that things were falling out of his pockets. Then his belt broke, and he had to hang on by his knees and elbows. At length he emerged from the cloud and saw the sea apparently over his head, but was able to right his machine and continue his flight.
 A young English aviator. the bullet holes in whose planes bore testimony to his repeated exposure to fire, had one narrow escape with an amusing ending. Mistaken for a German air man. he was fired at by the French and forced to descend through the puncturing of his petrol tank. When the mistake was discovered, of course, proIuse apologies were forthcoming, and he was presented by the mayor of the district with a bouquet
 Talking of bullet holes, hy the way. I may mention that the record sure ly belongs to a British aviator who. es- oaping from hail of shrapneL count ed 90 separate punctures in his planes. -C. l.. Freeston in Scribners Maga- zine.

Registered Nurse Bill

DR.. Rowe's bill providing for regis
tration for trained nurses passed
without opposition. The bill provides
that the registration fees are to take
care of the expense to the state. The
governor will appoint a board of ex'
aminers and they will conduct the ex.
aminations and hold regular meetings.
1t is expected that the bill will pass
the house with but little opposition.
This is one of the measures that was
recommended in Governor Hanna's
message.
