manship of the two great English
speaking nations of the world" said
Senator Jones in discussing the topic.
1t must be apparent to anyone that
with boundary between two coun-
tries almost 1000 miles in extent
with millions Of people living side by
side under two separate and distinct
governments, whose financial and in
dustrial relations are necessarily and
intimately related, and who are the
owners in common of vast property
which marks almost one-half of that
boundary, conflict of interest will
arise in the future as in the past. Be
tween 10 two countries in the world
is there a boundary Of such tribunal
extent.
Diplomacy does not afford the peo-
| pie of two nations, who rights and
interests are involved in any inter
national controversy, the opportunity
to appear face to face to have their
controversies determined upon sworn
testimony and according to the prin-
ciples of law. The necessity therefore
for the existence of this commission
or some similar tribunal will exist
therefore as long as there exists the
necessity for courts either in the
United States or Canada. This is so
because of the exercise of their COM
mon right to the use of the water
which marks the boundary between
them.
"The treaty between the United
States and Great Britain creating this
international court of justice makes
the most advanced step yet takeE by
any two nations in the history of the
world--not only for the settlement of
international questions, but for the
settlement of questions of less conse-
quence between the people Of both ma
tions.
"There are many arbitrations be-
tween the u. S. and other nations.
Doubtless there are many between
other nations Of the world, but there
are none between any other two that
creates a tribunal composed of citi.
zens Of both nations for the settle
ment Of international questions be-
tween their governments or between
their people. This commission there
fore, charged with the duty and hav-
ing the power practically to work out
the great problem of whether or not
the theory Of international peace
through arbitration can or cannot be
made success, should have the
hearty support Of both governments.
"In my judgment this tribunal fur
nishes an example to the world"

MARION FARMERS FORM
SHIPPERS ASSOCIATION

Marion, N. D., March 20. At the
farmers meeting held here steps were
taken to organize a livestock shipping
association. Thirty-two farmers signed
up as members. J. M. Wheeler, H. E.
Thomas and c. H. Opdahl were elected
to investigate other shipping associa-
tions, now in operation and to get
heir rules, bylaws and methods of
operation. A copy of the agreement
to organize the association and the
list of those who joined has been left
at the First National bank and those
who wish to join can sign their names.
Saturday, April was the date set for
the next meeting, to elect officers and
perfect the organization.
This is one of the few, if not the
only movement here that has been
started by the farmers themselves
without any outside help or outside
speakers.

WAR is DECLARED
ON THE GoPHERS

Starkweather, N. D., March 29.-At
a meeting of the business men and
farmers at the Schweitzer hardware
store it was decided that a vigorous
campaign against gophers should be
inaugurated this spring. A committee
of three was named to make the ar
rangements, name the day to be known
as Gopher day., and designate the
prizes for those who have accumulated
the largest number of gopher tails.
The sentiment Of the meeting was
unanimous, that vigorous measures
should be pursued in killing off these
destructive rodents. The committee
having the matter in charge have
taken hold Of the proposition in a
commendable manner and have al
ready named May 81 as Gopher day."
designating the prizes and made the
rules of the contest
It was agreed at the meeting that
to be the most effective this campaign
against gophers should commence at
once. It was pointed out that one
gopher killed now is just as good as
several later on in the season after
the young have been brought ON.
