$4,000 FOR GOOD ROADS
Automobiles of State Contributed
That Amount in 1914, Through
Registration of Cars.

Thomas Hall, secretary of state,
announces that he has distributed,
during the year 1914, the sum of
S5O,345.77 to the good road funds
of the fifty-two counties of the state,
dividing the money to each county ac'
cording to the number OF automo-
biles and motorcycles registered with
him from each county. A sum such
as this, devoted annually to the
building of good roads will, if spent
wisely, soon have an appreciably
beneficial effect upon the roads of the
state.
The total amount collected by the
secretary of state from the registra-
ton of motor vehicles during 1914
was $55,964. The expense, which
included cost of registration tags,
postage, printing, clerkhire, etc.,
amounted to $5,61a.86, leaving the
net amount as given above. The to-
tai number Of automobiles registered
was 17,347 and the number Of motor

Western House Members Stand
Together.

In the debate on a reapportlon-
ment bill giving each county one SEN
ator, there was much information
brought out yesterday regarding the
growth of the central and western
parts of North Dakota. Heretofore
the counties of Richland, Cass, Trail,
Grand Forks, Walsh and Pembina
have claimed the greatest population
and have secured the bulk of the leg
islative appropriations and important
institutions. It was claimed that
North Dakota now has about all the
counties it will ever have and that
future county divisions will not make
more than four or five new counties
at the most. One objection to the bill
was that it would tend to split up the
state in smaller counties in order to
get more representation in the legis-
lature.
Under the present system 1t was
shown that four counties in the west
tern part Of the state were represent
ed in the legislature by one senator
and three representatives. while cass
county alone had seven representa-
tiyes and three senator's. = Conditions

TRAGIC SHOOTING
NEAR Melville
Young widow Killed at Henry
Buhmann Farm.

Melville, March 2.-Otto Buh-
mann, who, it is alleged. shot and
killed Mrs. Gillette at the Henry
Buhmann farm two miles from here,
has waived examination at the pre-
liminary hearing held at Darlington,
and was bound over to the next term
of district court. The terrible event
has caused great excitement in this
vicinity.
According to the best known evil
dence revealed here as yet, there
were no witnesses to the tragedy. 1t
is said that Saturday night Otto Buh-
mann went to his mothers farm,
where he had been doing the chores
during Henry Buhmann's absence.
1t is said that Otto had been drinking.
Mrs. Gillette, who is a widow, was
keeping house at the Buhmann place,
living there with her little two-year-
old son. The mother was but 22
years old. How the shooting oc-
Cured is not known. About mid
might Buhmann came to the farm of
Wendell Zinck and told them that he
had shot Mrs. Gillette, but did not
know if she were dead.
When the neighbors reached the
scene of the tragedy they found Mrs.
Gillette lying on the floor. She was
dead, shot through the head, the
charge from a 12-gauge shotgun hav-
ing passed through one eye, coming
out behind the ear.
Buhmann gave himself up without
resistance and was taken in charge
by the sheriff of Foster county and
waived examination. The burial OF
the victim was held at Darlington.

SAY TEuT0NS ARE
LOSING IN THE EAST

London, March 4.-According to
what appears to be the almost unani-
nous opinion of British observers
Germany and Austria are playing
losing game along nearly all the east
ern front. The situation Of the Aus
trians In the Carpathians, Judging from
of51cial and unofficial dispatches from
PetrO9rad, seems unsatisfactory.
while the Russians, 1t is said, have
checked them definitely in Eastern
Galicia. Furthermore London ad-
vices continue to relate successes OF
greater or lesser degree for the Rus
against the armies of Field Marshal
Won Hindenbur.g
The allied feet again bombsrded
the Dardanelles forts, according to
dispatches from Athens, but the Brit
isL press bureau has not confirmed
this report. The Athens message
says that four ships shelled the in-
terror forts from the Gulf of Saros,
and that the anxiety at CONSTANT
nople 10 increasing.
The attitude Of the neutral powers
over Great Britains proposal to shut
of all sea trafhc with Germany forms
the basis OF most of the political COM
ment published in England. The
London papers, through their Wash
ineton correspondents, have been
told that the United States will
protest vigorously and protests are
expected also from Holland and the
Scandinavian countries.

CORPORATION Tax Bill Hearing.

CORPORATION Tax Bill Hearing.
A meeting of the joint judiciary
committee was held last evening for
the purpose of hearing several repre-
|sentatives of corporations in the state
with regard to the new corporation
tax law which is being agitated.
Attorney Tracy Bangs was one OF
those to appear and he argued that
the 1000 coroprations doing business
in the state, many of them farmers
organizations such as creameries ana
elevators, were now paying suff1-
cient tax and that this tax would be
levied on them alone and would be an
injustice.
Senator Leutz of the Hebron Press
ed Brick company argued that his
concern by locating in Hebron ana
doing business there had raised the
valuation of that part of the state
considerably. He made the point that
corporations should be induced to
come into the state rather than be
driven out by excessive taxation and
the requirement of additional reports
by the state.
Tag Commissioner Sanders Of the
Northern Pacific Railway company
also i appeared and he made the point
that about twenty-five years ago the
average tax on lands was approxi-
