Minneapolis Officials in Fessen.
den to Catch Wife
Deserter.

. Fesseden, \. d., May 15.-A wire
from Minneapolis authorities to the
local sheriff's Office asked the arrest
and detention of Dan Huss upon a
charge of wife descition. Huss was
located by Sheriff Kunkel and taken
into custody, but he refuses to return
to Minnesota without eXtradition pa
pers, claiming that he had not de-
serted his wife, but that she refused
to come to North Dakota where he
found he could make more money
more readily than in the Twin Cities,
and that he will oppose returning to
Minnesota jurisdiction. This informa.
ton was wired to the Minneapolis Of
ficers and unless requisition papers
are secured he cannot be, taken. Huss
has been in the, state for over a year
now, most of the time in the vicinity
of Fesseden and has become quite
well known here as Russian Dam"
the horse trader.

There are few people who are
aware of the fact that private car
line companies operating in this state
escape many thousands of dollars in
taxes on account of not being assess
ed. Kansas collects yearly tax
from these companies Of $4,000,
Michigan $4,000, Ohio $4,000, and
other states likewise.
The last tax paid by these cOmpan.
les into our treasury was in 1912 and
since then l am unable to find any
evidence or record which indicates
that any effort has been made by the
state auditor to obtain such infOrma'
ton as required of him by law to
enable the state board Of equalization
to assess these car line companies.
Section 224S of the Compiled Laws
of 1913 provides that all car line com.
panies operating cars over railroads
in this state shall report to the state
auditor On such blanks as he may
prescribe each year. They must state
in this report the whole length. in
miles of the lines or routes /: over
which they do business in this state
for each year ending on the first day
of June. They must state the volume
of business done, ETC., and such other
facts and information as the state
auditor may require to enable the
state board of equalization to ascer
tain the value of the property OF such
companies liable to taxation within
this state.
State Auditor Jorgenson claims
that the cost of the work required to
be performed in order to assess the
car companies and to collect the tax
is more than the tax. This may be
true of companies owning one OF
more cars in the state, but how about
the Union Tank cars, which can he
seen every day in the week deliver
ing oils to the various oil stations'
How about the refrigerator cars
How about the Pullman cars which
are attached in numbers to al fas,
trains in the Northern Pacific. Is i
harder to draw up form for these
companies to report on than to de
sign q tax schedule for the assessor
to assess the farmers chickens
ducks and dogs?
Following are some Of the car com
panies out Of about 81 which operate
! In this state and are not taxed:

travel to be constructed across the
Missouri in North Dakota.
The Missouri River Bridge company,
a local company, was organized two
months ago and it's directors have
been working in conjunction with the
directors Of the Williston Commercial
club to secure all of the information
possible concerning the structure and
operation OF pontoon bridges, with the
result that the local undertaking has
been declared feasible by competent
engineers. Ten thousand dollars has
been raised by subscription in Will
liston and territory and it is thought
that this will more than pay the initial
cost of the bridge. Tolls will be
charged to provide for maintenance
and sinking fund which will repay
the cost of the bridge after which
it is hoped that it can be operated
as a free bridge.
Until the construction of the Mcken.
zie county branch of the Great North
ern railroad two years ago, the only
communication between Williston and
a vast trading territory extending for
ty miles to the south was by ferry
across the Missouri. an uncertain and
often dangerous undertaking. The
present railroad crossing is in Mon
tana, rs miles west of the city. It is
expected that the pontoon bridge will
bring into closer touch with this city
large area in Mckenzie county still
unserved by railroads and cut OF
heretofore by the treacherous "Big
Muddy" ."

CAT the expense of the tax payers,
Mr.. JOrgenson recently caused to be
printed and distributed in the state
$4,000 printed copies Of the special
meeting of the State Board of Equal

when this is done he will publish the
report. The resolution referred to has
nothing whatever to do with the last
