John Kurz Visits Warren.

John Kurz, the well known pioneer
farmer west of town, arrived last
Saturday from Montana, where he
has spent most of the winter with a
married daughter. He says they
have had hard winter in Montana,
with lots of snow, that has delayed
railroad traffic. Some farmers owing
to impossible roads have been COM
PEELED to burn grain for fuel, al
though Ignite coal is found in the
hills but few miles away.
Mr.. Kurz brought the sad news OF
his wife's death at Josephine, N. D.,
on Feb. 9th. She was one of the
sturdy pioneer women of Marshall
county and many friends here besides
members Of the family mourn her de-
parture.
Mr.. Kurz visited with his brother
'P. J. Kurz, at Argyle on Monday
and on the following day left agar
lfor Montana. He expects to be back
here some time this spring.

CONTRACT FOR NEW SCHOOL
HOUSE NOT YET LET

The school board opened the bids
for the new school house last Thurs.
day. A large number of bidders were
on hand. but the bids submitted were
much higher than the architects esti-
mate. The constantly increasing
prices on building material is respon,
sible for the high bids. None of the
bids were accepted that day, but the
board is still having them under con.
sideration. With some notifications
in the plan, it is hoped that salts
factory price may be arrived at, thai
will be acceptable to the board.

days old. ...
She was the only daughter and

Commercial C1uh Meetinp.


A special meeting of the Warren
Commercial Club was held on the
evening of March 9. The committee
on raising funds for North Star Col
lege, consisting of o. H. Taralseth,
Julius ]. Olson, H. L. Wood and Aug.
A. Johnson, reported thru Mr.. Olson,
that the entire amount of $4,000,
which the club had undertaken to
raise as the city's quota, had already
been subscribed. This good piece of
news was hailed with the greatest
satisfaction and caused a great deal
of enthusiasm. Prof. Siostrand on
behalf of the college extended pro-
found thanks to the committee for it's
most excellent work and C. A. Nelson
in a neat speech on behalf of the
club moved vote Of thanks to the
committee, said motion being passed
unanimously by a rising vote. Rev.
Anderson, the solicitor for the college
also expressed his appreciation for
the good work done.
Next the Board of Education ap-
peared before the club with a view of
ascertaining the sentiment of the
club as to encurring Indebtedness for
the building Of the new school house,
beyond the amount of the bonds
voted by the district. Mr.. Lamber-
son, president Of the Board, explained
that the bids for the new building,
opened that dav, had far exceeded the
calculations of the board, the high
bids being attributed to the constant
lv rising prices Of building material.
The lowest bid was in the neighbor-
hood of $58,000 for the completed
building. The consensus Of opinion
was that Warren should have an up
to-date and fully equipped high
school building regardless Of cost and
motion was passed to the effect
that the club would back the school
board in any action they would take
to secure such building.

North Star College Notes

Prof. Sjostrand is out on the road
in the interest of the school, We
miss the "Man at the helm," and will
be glad when he is with us again.
Mr.. Schenck has charge of the
work in the Commercial Department
during Prof. Sjostrand's absence.
Every channel is being pursued in
the effort to bring the campaign to a
successful close next SATURDAY. The
members of the Board of Directors
are spending the greater part of their
time on the road, only dropping in
from time to time to deliver the en-
couraging news that their efforts are
meeting with marked success.
Enthusiasm over the outcome of
the campaign is at high ebb and will
undoubtedly find it's expression in a
celebration the likeof which North
Star College has never seen, when
news that we have been successful is
given to the public.
Probably one of the most success
full ventures Of the campaign for
funds for the school was that of the
Warren Commercial Club Committee.
Never before, in the history of our
little city, have the citizens so opened
their hearts and purses as they did
during the past week when they
rallied to the support of North Star
by raising in remarkably short time
sum of over $1,000. When we
think of the liberality with which the
helping hand was extended, we cam
not help but believe that some gave
almost beyond their means. Thanks! !
Hearty thanks, generous and good
willed citizens Of Warren! The Lord
loves the cheerful giver, and rewards
tenfold.
We hereby wish to express our ap-
preciation Of the untiring efforts of
Messrs. J. J. Olson, o. H. Taralseth,
Aug. A. Johnson and H. L. Wood, the
committee that raised the beforemen-
toned sum. Judging from the vim
and enthusiasm with which they
pushed their work, we are led to be-
lieve that they were led on by a
banner bearing the inscription: "Our
cause. it is just, and in God is our
trust" Thanks, Gentlemen. thanks!
At a meeting of the Commercial
Club last Thursday evening, Mr..
julius J. Olson made report on the
work of the Citizens Committee. In
we'll chosen and eloquent words he
applauded the ready resnonse on the
part Of the citizens Of Warren when
asked to help the cause. He ended
with a stirring tribute to our college.
In a fitting manner Prot. Sjostrand
and Mr. c. A. Nelson, of the State
Bank responded. Rev. F. N. Ander-
son also, in behalf of the members of
the Board, expressed their apprecia-
tion and thanks. Long live the War
rem Commercial Club!
Next Friday evening a Basket
Social will be held at North Star for
the benefit of the school. Everyone

of Warren and vicinity, and friends

County Officials Victims of Joke

County OMc1alS Victims OF Joker.
Saturday a very queer looking per-
sonage visited each officer in the
county court house and by his sus-
picious movements had them all in a
state of excitement. ~. 3D., ..-@ ..
The stranger first called atathe, of
flee of county auditor Lundgren and
tried to procure a fishing license, but
was informed that there was no need
for such: He departed after cutting
several capers that convinced the
auditor that his caller was not exact
ly of a sound mind
Leaving the auditors office he went
to the Office of county treasurer
Bake, where he wished to pay the
taxes Of a farmer residing near AL
varado. He remained here long
enough to have the treasurer make
out the necessary receipt, when he
left to make call on the other Of
fcers.
After calling on C. E. Grinder, he
went to the office of clerk Of court
Swandby and asked for a marriage
license as he wanted to marry one
Tillie Johnson, who was supposed to
have been employed on the Snake
River Farm. Mr.. Swandby, how
ever, became little suspicious about
the actions of the man and decided
he would make sure before issuing
the license. He called the sheriff
who in turn took the supposed to be
nut to his office. After several
questions asked by the sheriff. he
was again taken down to the lobby
where he came to his right senses
Land proved to be none other then A
T, Rustad, Of Minneapolis, wei
known and popular travelling sales
man.

'*The tax commission will aid as
SCISSORS by every means in it's power
to enforce the law against this class
of citizens and when a false state
ment by a taxpayer is called to our
attention we will see. that the matter
is placed in the hands of the county
attorney for prosecution. Much can
be done by assessors to prevent tax
lodging if they will perform their
duties feaflessly and diligently and in
strict accordance with law.
'If honest taxpayers could only be
brought to realize that the only way
their rights can be safeguarded and
a square deal for everybody obtained
is by a full listing and legal assess
ment of all property in their district,
tax dodging instead of being regard
ed as: harmless game of wits in
which the strong, the resourceful, and
the greedy nearly always win would
be regared as a crime and dealt with
accordingly. If good citizens fully un-
derstood that tax dodging in nine
cases out of ten simply meant that
well to do citizens were casting their
tax burdens upon their less favored
brethren tax dodging would become
odious and a tax dodger, if discovered
would become an object of contempt
in every community.
"Taxes have become so high in
many communities that they are a
great burden to citizens of moderate
means. There has been noticeable
tendency in recent years toward very
large public expenditures, and it be-
hooves every good citizen and every
taxpayer of moderate means in such
communities to scrutinize all public
expenditures closely and to think
twice before lending their support to
any new public enterprise matter
how attractive it may seem. The
thing to be considered by people of
moderate means in such communities
is not so much whether proposed
new building or improvement is a
good thing in itself or not; but rather
one of whether they can really afford
to have anything added to their al
ready heavy burdens o. e..
