''MAKE GOOD" CELEBRATION.
Kenmare Business Men Hold Event
Because Of Failure Of July 5th
Feature Attractions.

Kenmare.-Kenmare's make good"
celebration was a success in every
sense Of the word and a program Of
free entertainment unparalleled by
anything ever offered before in the
northwest was presented: There were
two aeroplane flights, two balloon as
tensions and four performances by the
ski-jumpers, together with two aball
games and grand free dance in the
evening. A splendid program of street
sports in the afternoon added much
to the enjoyment of the day. Fully
i've thousand people were in the city
and went home thoroughly satisfied.
The celebration was staged by the
business men of Kenmare to make
good" the failure of the July 5th fea.
ture attractions. Aviator Timm fully
demonstrated his ability and the North
western Balloon company put on two
ascensions by Lady Grace, character
lied by experts as the best they had
ever seen. Captain Henricsen performed
his famous loop.the-loop, a complete
somersault on skis, no less than four
times for the big crowd. The ball
games went to Bowbells and Estevan,
both teams taking the local aggrega-
tton into camp by scores of IL to 6 and
IL to 0 respectively.

HAIL STORM SWEEPS MANDAN
Stones Practically Destroy Thousands
Of Acres Of Wheat and corn-Pss.
senger Train Damaged.

Bismarck.-Covering an area of 40
miles long and from six to fifteen mil.
es wide the most destructive hail
storm ever known in Morton county
swept from a point northwest Of
New Salem to within few miles of
Mandan. Corn and wheat were driv-
en- into the ground by heavy hailstones
and thousands of acres completely de.
stroyed. Richardton, Glen Ullen, New
Salem and Hebron report a heavy
storm with great damage.
Glendive, Mont, reported no hail,
but at Beach, near the North Dakota
line, there was luight hail in the town,
although little damage was done in
the country. Jamestown and Steele,
east of here, reported no damage done.
From towns along the east side of the
Mississippi river come reports of
heavy storms, on the west side of
river. but no estimate of damage can
be secured as telephone lines are out
Of commission.
The Northern Pacific passenger
train, which ran into the storm at
Richarton, had every window from the
engine cab to the near coach on the
north side Of train broken by immense
hail stones. Aside from some slight
cuts from broken glass no injuries
were reported.

Meeting OF STATE BOARD.
Governor Hanna Plans Consultation
With Members Of immigration
eoard-FiQht Expected.

Bismarck before leaving for
Dickinson where he made an address
before the county teachers at their
convention, Governor Hanna stated
that he would undoubtedly call meet
ing Of the immigration board. The
first meeting will not be for the form
al organization, but simply a cunsult-
alton as to what should be done to get
the matter Strengthened out.
It is generally understood that a
firm Of Fargo attorneys has been re-
tained to start injunction proceedings
as soon as the board attempts to spend
any state money.
An effort was made to hold up pro-
visions Of the immigration bill by the
referendum route, but the attorney
general has given an opinion to tho
effect that the petitions are void on
account of there being two petitions
with about half of the required num-
Der Of signers on each one asking for
the referendum of the entire bill, while
the others ask to have only part Of the
bill held up and referred to the people.
Undoubtedly the matter will be TAX
en- into the courts before any of the
100000 appropriated can be used.

RE0PENs INTERESTING CASE.
Department Of Interior Sends Claim
Back to Land office-contest
10 Set for Hearing.

Minot.-A land case which involves
a valuable claim on the Berthold res
ervation has just been reopened by
the department of the interior and the
case sent back to the local land office
for proceedings in accordance with
the facts in the case.
On August %, 1912, Chrestine Wi
berg, then living in Wells county,
filed on claim in the reservation ad-
Joining claim No. 1 in the drawing.
She was one of the low numbers in
the drawing by which the reservation
was opened. Five days later she was
found to be insane and after the legal
steps had been taken was committed
to the asylum for the insane at James
town. She remained in this. institu-
tion for year and half. Her filing
fees and other papers were properly
executed and her filing fee was paid.
Shortly after she was discharged
from the asylum she established her
residence on the claim and proceeded
to make such improvements as the
homestead laws required.
The action of the interior depart
ment serves to start the contest case
from the very beginning and allows
Mrs. Wiberg to make such defense as
she may desire just the same as she
could have done in the original hear
ing before the local land office had
she been capable of acting at that
time.

CAR coLLIDEs WITH TRAIN.
Crowded Trolley on Way to State
Fair 10 Wrecked-BaIIoonis
Narrowly Escapes Death.

Grand Forks.-A crowded street
car on its way to the state fair here
collided with freight train at eros.
sing near the fair grounds. No one
was seriously injured although the
street car was moved some distance
from its track.
The accident occurred during the
rush to the fair grounds. at which the
attendance was more than $4,000, and
caused tie-up in traffic.
Fred Raubin, balloonist, narrowly
escaped death in making eight sue
cessive parachute leaps. The first
failed to open properly and Raubin fell
more than q thousand feet from a
height of 5000 feet. The seventh also
went wrong and Raubin was nearly
dashed to earth before the eighth
parachute saved him.

STATE IMLITIAMEN FINED,
Nine Members Of Company g Given
Hearing-ReguIar Attendance
Declared Essential.

Valley City.-Nine members of Com
pany G who were not in attendance
at the annual encampment of the
state Militia at Devils Lake were CIV
en- lesson in discipline. A detail of
the company went out and picked
them up, and brought them before
First Lieut.. F. d. Graham, Co A. Of
Bismarck, who had been detailed as
summary court officer under the new
state law. This law was introduced
by Senator Mudgett, and is known as
Senate Bill No. 26O. It provides that
for non-attendance at the encamp-
ments members may be arrested and
fined or given a Jail sentence If the
is not paid.
Nine Given Fines.
The hearing was held in the Office
OF Judge Moe. The nine parties ar
raigned were given fines ranging in
amount from $S to $40, and in each
instance the fine was paid.
The attendance at the annual en-
campment of the North Dakota ma
tional guard has become a serious
problem. The law if enforced may
make or break company. No COM
pany can do effective work without
a full quota of members on hand. En-
forcement of the law vii make them
disband or keep up the require
ments.

Poisoned BY Canned Meat.

Pollock.-Five children living on the
Whalen farm, seventeen miles north of
Pollock, had close call from death
by ptomaine poisoning caused by eat
ing minced ham. The children were
keeping house alone while their wild
owed mother is In Iowa taking care
of her sick father, and they fried some
minced ham for supper. Soon after
ward all were taken violently i'll, the
girls who had cooked the supper suf-
fering most severely. as they had eaten
some Of the ham before cooking. A
physician, after spending most of the
night with the children, succeeded in
saving their lives.

SEEK TO EQUALIzE BURDEN.
Western North Dakota Counties
Would Readjust Taxation-To
Support Commissioners Plan

Williston.-Wertern counties OF
North Dakota will unite behind plan
fathered by H. H. Steele, recently ap-
pointed member Of the state tax COM
mission and which has for it's purpose
the equalization of the burden of tax
alton between the eastern and west
ern counties Of the state. Under pre-
sent conditions the western counties
are said to be paying far more than
their proportionate share of the ex-
penses of the state government when
the difference in value of property in
the two sections is taken into consid-
GRAFTON.
Commissioner Steele, while in this
city gathering facts relative to taxa
tion and the value of land, pointed out
the injustice which, he says, exists.
Land throughout the state is listed on
the tax rolls at 25 per cent. Of its
valuation. The tax lists show that
land in Cass county, including the
City of Fargo, is assessed at an aver
age valuation Of $7.56 an acre. This
would indicate that the average actual
valuation of land in Cass county is
only little more than $50 an acre,
while it is we'll known that farm lands
in that section bring from $50 to $100
per acre. Trail county presents a
similar example with land assessed at
only $7.43 an acre.
In the western counties, however,
the assessed valuation is much near
er correct. Land in Williams county
is now assessed at 1891 an acre. On
basis of rs per cent of the real value
this gives an average actual land valu-
alton for Williams county of more
than $13. Land can be bought for
this amount in many sections of the
county, although the average value Of
improved lands is probably a little
higher.
A determined fight will be made be-
fore the state board of equalization to
secure readjustment favorable to
the western counties of the state.

RattIer's Bite Nearly Fatal.

Pringle.-A 6-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert Barnes, living near here,
was struck by the fangs of a rattle
snake. The parents we're able to Sc
cure a physician without delay, and
to this is due the fact that the little
fellows life was saved. The boy was
playing near the house when he felt
something prick his leg. He cried out
and this attracted the attention of the
parents, who discovered that rattle
snake had attacked him.

Body of Old Man Found on Drift.

Chamberlain.-The body of a man
apparently about go years old was
drift that had accumulated just above
the railroad bridge. When found the
body was only covered by shirt and
overalls. A watch on the person
stopped at 2:3O and pocketbook con-
tanning four cents was found in the
pockets. The head was quite bald
and whiskers were quite gray. 1t is
surmised this party lived along some
of the creeks in Stanley county and

BIG FAIR At GRAND
FORKS IS SUCCESS
RECORD ATTENDANCE MARKS
CLOSING DAY-sTocK SHOW
ATTRACTS ATTENTION.
INTERESTING NEWS OF STATE
North Dakota Events Of Past Few
Days Selected and Edited for the
Convenience Of Our
Readers.

Grand Forks.-With the attend
ance greater by thousands than that
of any closing day of fair in the
history of the commonwealth. the
North Dakota state fair, which was
held in this city, closed.
In closing the final chapter of the
exposition, one has only to say that
it was the greatest on record in North
Dakota, and never before has such a
great and successful exposition been
given them.
Automobile day, which closed the
fair, is one that will not soon be for
gotten. 1t was featured by the first
automobile race meet ever held in
North Dakota under the rules and
sanction of the International Motor
Contest association. Thousands of
automobile race devotees thronged
grounds to watch the intrepid drivers
pilot their machines around the half
mile dirt track, and it is needless to
say that the event satisfied the most
exacting thrill-seeker.
Directors Are Pleased.
Fair association directors, local and
state supporters and all visitors are
thoroughly satisfied and pleased with
the outcome. Favored by the best of
weather during the entire week, the
association has been able to make
money. Although it was an excep-
tionally expensive show it was so uni
formly good that monster crowds at
tended every day and soon put enough
into the treasury to clear all ex-
penses.
1T was a great success" said Sec
retary d. v. Moore. THE stock show
has attracted universal attention, and

to the rear of the judges stand, were

MAY CONTINUE N. D. Project
WiIIiston Citizens and Reclamation
Officials at Work on Plan to Main.
tain Irrigation Project.

Williston.-That North Dakota's
only irrigation project which the fed.
eral government has threatened to
abandon will be continued in opera
ton for several more years is now
the opinion of city and reclamation
service officials who are working to
assure the future of the enterprise
here. 1t is believed that If means
can be found to operate the project
for at least three more years that 1t
will then be able to prove its useful
ness and consequent value to the
community and will be numbered
among the successful projects in the
country.
In order to continue the operation
of the local project the government
will have to be assured that all op-
Grating expenses will be met and that
the reclamation service will not be
called upon to make any further In
vestment in the local project. Pres
ent accumulated charges and construc.
ton costs will not be collected, how
ever, until the project is firmly upon
its feet.
In order to make it possible for the
power plant to meet expenses steps
are being taken by the city commits
sion to increase the consumption of
electricity in the city and thus to en-
large the electric load under the city's
contract with the government by
which the irrigation power plant fur
nishes the electricity for use through
out the city. If this load can be in
creased to an appreciable extent it
will mean that about half the opera
tion expenses of the power plant will
be paid by the city contract.

THOUGHT DEAD; RETURNS HOME
L. A. MccandIess, Reported Killed In
Mexico, Visits Friends.

Terry.-Like one returning from the
dead was the appearance here recently
OF l.. A. McCandless, for many years
one Of the best known mining men of
the Black Hills, but who now resides
at Whitcomb, Mont. A few weeks ago
Black Hills friends of McCandless
were informed that he had gone to
Mexico on a business trip, and that
soon after his arrival there he had
been murdered. The report was gen.
orally credited. and the Black Hills
newspapers printed obituary notices
setting forth his supposed tragic
death. In view of this his appearance
here created a sensation.
