WANTS TO REMOVE
TW0nBLY AND HEhNY
Alderman Tompkins Says the En-
gineers Do Not Stay On
the Job

Another movement is on foot to stir
up matters in connection with the
new combined light and water plant.
Councilman d. w Tompkins said this
morning that he was preparing to
have the city's engineers, Twombly &
Henney, removed. Mr.. Tompkins ask
ed a representative of the Star why
attention was not called to the engi-
neers not remaining constantly in
charge C t,ss construction of the new
plant. He said that engineers were
constantly in charge of the sewerage
work, and thor ght the work on the
water works and electric light plant
of even gregter Importance. The
councilman sad that Engineer Hen
ney was running back and forth be-
tween here and New York, and he
pointed to Nj. Henney's having left
here Monday for that city. He said
that the engineers did not fail to make
sure Of getting their money.
"The matter ought TO be aired, =
said Mr.. Tompkins, because ! am
getting ready to have them ousted. =
Mr.. Henney left Monday for New
York City, saying that he would be
gone about two weeks. Tt was said at
city hall this morning that before Mr..
Henney left he received check for
1897 so, one half of the amount due
his firm for the preparation of the
plans and specifications of the new
plant.
Robert Elmer has been left by Mr..
Henney in charge of inspecting the
construction of the plant, and it is
said that Mr.. Elmer is not an engi-
neer.
An examination of the contract be-
tween the city and Twombly & Hen
ney does not disclose anything spe-
cically requiring the engineers to re-
main constantly on the work. The
contract says that the engineers must
supervise the construction of said
water works plant and system and
electric light and power plant and sys-
tenn, as the work of construction pro-
crosses, including the engineering in
spection of materials and work done,
used and furnished in the construc-
tion of the aforesaid water works
plant and system and electric light
and power plant and system, and that
d
they the said Twombly & Henney, will
furnish the grades and levels for the
said construction, and will keep re-
cords of the work and construction
completed"
Mayor Robertson said this afternoon
that he had requested President Nash
of the council to have the work on the
plant stopped until an engineer be
placed in charge. The mayor said
that he had no authority to stop the
work himself. He said that it would
be matter for the council.
Mr.. Elmer, when seen this after
noon, seemed very much surprised al
the storm that had broken around
him. He said that he had been to see
the mayor, and had explained the
matter, he said, to the mayors salts
faction. Mr.. Elmer said that Mr.
Henney had left him to inspect ths
mixing of concrete and the laying oi
bricks. Some clerical work for ths
engineer is also being done by Mr.. Eb
ner.
President Nash, when asked il worl
would be stopped, or whether meet
ing of council would be called to dis
cuss the situation, said that it Woult

HEAVY FIGHTING FOR A WEEK o.

London, July Z6.--Poz1eres village,
on the Somme front, wnere a desper-

RUSSIANS HAVE ERZINGAN
The Turks have evacuated ERIN

a Petrograd dispatch London received
from Rome.
STRUGGLE WAS STUBBORN
London, July 25.-The battle on the
Somme front, which began Saturday
at midnight and had continued since
with brief lulls, is still being fought
by British and Germans with the ut
most stubbornness. An indication of
the Importance the Germans attach
to defending their third line is found
in the report of General Haig, the
British commander, and in the Ger
man admission, that regiments have
been brought from before Verdun in
order to lend all possible strength
to General Won Einem.
The British, il they are making but
slow progress, have been able to re-
pulse all the fierce German counter
attacks and fully maintain their
ground, although the fighting largely
consists of hand-to-hand conflicts.
HAVE REPULSED HINDENBURG
The Russians continue their sue
cessful drive in Southern Volhynia,
Petrograd reports. They have driven
the Teutons back near the Slonevka
river, which is aSbranch Of the Styr,
which the Russians were crossing.
Teutoni closes were heavy. The Ger
mans under General Won Hindenburg
who attacked the Russians near Kam-
mern, twenty miles west of Riga, were
compelled to retreat.

Would Cause Split
Indian Fair Assn.
Mclaughlin Paper Says South Dakota
Indians Want to Hold Seperate Fair
at Mclaughlin this Fall

Those South Dakota fellows along
! the state line nrc ambitious to say
the least. Morristown wants the
county seat moved from Fort Yates
there, and now comes along the
chap that gets the dope for the Nc
Laughlin Mirror off his mind, with
claim for the Standing Rock In
dian Fair and a division of the res
ervation with a new Agency at the
junction town. The Mirror pipe
dream follows:
There is a growing desire among
the South Dakota Indians on the
Standing Rock reservation to have
the buildings and other property Of
the Standing Rock Indian Fair AS
sociation sold and to divide the
money obtained between the North
Decentralization and the South Da-
kota division. The Indians this
side Of the state line propose to or
ganize ain Indian County Fair AS
sociation'' with the grounds and
buildings at Mclaughlin with their
share and any funds that may be
raised by other methods. The
question will probably be settled at
the next meeting of the Fair COM
mittee which will he held sometime
next month.
Another thing that has caused
dissatisfaction among the Indians is
the poor results obtained from their
band. The association has over
81, 900 invested in instruments.
Each year the instruments have
been recklessly used and outside
players have been hired to such an
extent that the fair has been thrown
heavily in debt.
There is also some agitation in
favor of making seperate reserva-
tions of the two divisions and estab-
fishing an Indian Agency at Nc
Laughlin.

Vaccinate for Blackleg

j. A. Stiles returned last Thurs
day cveningfrom the Atkins place
across the river in Campbell county,
South Dakota, where he had 500
calves wintering. Blackleg broke
out among them, and last week he
called DR.. Pfaffman of the U. S.
Bureau Of Animal Industry, to help
him vaccinate the bunch. Out OF
600 calves he lost about Is and has
moved them to the Bader place III
order to stamp out the disease.
Friday he took DR.. Pfaffman to his
ranch northwest of Fort Yates and
all the young cattle there were treat
I'd to prevent blackleg. From the
ranch DIR. Pfaffman went to Walker
to investigate reported sc;,b infec-
tion among cattle in that locality.

Sioux County Signal

Rev. D. P. Abbey, boomer news
paper promoter, erstwhile editor Of
the Havelock American. German,
blew into town Wednesday evening
with bunch of sample copies of the
Sioux County Signal, newspaper
printed in Minneapolis under
Seifridge, N. D., date line. It ap-
pears that Rev Abbey is travelling
incog., as his paper flies the name
of David X. Barnes at its masthead.
In his "salutary" he says Selfridge
looks good to him, and he is there
to stay and boost, and do all he can
to help them get the county scat.
In the meantime Martin Swift,
president of the Sioux County Vot-
ers League, is reported considering
Abbey an unlimited interloper and
proposes to sit tight on the war.
chest of the organization. As Abb
bey has the reputation Of being
thrifty soul who is not in the habit
of burning red fire at a funeral, a
revolution within the League may
be looked for after he gets his plant
ON the ground and ready for action.
In the meantime there is plenty of
room for another newspaper in
Sioux county, and so far as the
Pioneer is concerned, Mr.. Abbey is
welcome.

Want 5000 Steers
For Indian Farmers
Superintendent Covey Recommends the
Purchase of 5000 Steers for the
Standing Rock lndians

Recommendation has been made
to the Indian Office by Superinten-
dent Covey for the purchase of 5000
yearling steers to be sold to the In
dians of the Standing Rock reserva-
tion under the re-imbursal plan,
similar to that upon which 1000
heifcrs were sold last year.
The steers will be sold to the In
dams on 80 months time, but they
will be required to pay interest at
the rate Of 8 per cent. per annum.
Steers cam he laid down here for less
than $40 per head, and the interest
on $40 for 80 months will be $3.
As the Indians will have no expense
for taxes or lease, and no cash out.
lay of any kind, this plan is bound
to bring in an immense profit.
This plan is being adopted with the
idea that after these cattle are sold,
the Indians will have considerable
money of their own to invest in
other cattle.
Notwithstanding the severe win
ter there has been very little loss
among the Indian cattle this year.
This is due to the fact that the In
dians provided an ample amount of
hay, and have built sheds and taken
excellent care of the heifers issued
them under this plan last summer.
Only a very few Indians have failed
to care for their stock properly.
If the condition of the tribal fund
will permit, it is thought that this
authority can be obtained in suffi-
cient time to secure these steers this
spring.

The Non-Partisan
League--WhatIt 1t Is

The Nonpartisian League, a new
North Dakota political movement,
is attracting big following through
the state according published re-
ports While there has been no ac-
tivity by any Of the organizers in
this section, yet in order to post
its readers that they may know
what this organization really is and
stands for. the Pioneer is glad to
publish the following article, writ
ten by man of mature years and
judgment, who travels extensively
through the state, and is a keen
observer:
1t is quite well known that % Of
the 30 organizers of the Nonpartisan
League are socialists, and the other
two are I. w. w. adherents. Ger
tifcates have been issued to about
18, 900 voters at 50 each, entitleing
them to participate in any township,
county or state meeting of the
League.
OF these Is, 600 members, about
5000 are the old line socialists.
About 1000 of them are men
who buy the certificate for business
purposes, so as to have stand in
with all parties. About 1000 are
regular democrats, and about 5000
are regular or progressive republic
cans. The other 1000 are men
who like the southwind-in the In
dian story-are ready to blow their
mighticst to see things fly. These
seem to be the facts, notwithstand-
ing contrary claims.
In my opinion, it is quite strictly
a socialist movement with a change
of name. We'll, if there is anything
good in it, we want it.
The main thing for the farmers
is to get terminal elevators (wheat
mixing elevators) and -four mills
within our own state. The purpose
of mixing the wheat at the termin-
ais is to raise the grade, and ter
minal elevators in Minnesota are
under the laws of state where
wheat-raising is not the great in
dustry.
Terminals without -four mills
(merely for wheat inspcctiotD would
very likely be ovcr-ruled by the
supreme court as a hardship on the
railroads, requiring 81 hours halt
for the wheat inspection.
When over 80 per cent. of the
farmers of North Dakota have voted
for terminal elevators they feel that
a legislature should not summarily
turn them down. They feel that
they have a right to experiment,
even though they make Mistakes
The movement is strong and bound
to grow, and the day is near when
the farmer will get what he wants
) through organization.

patients as soon as the cots and bed
ding arrive, and employees are en-
gagged. All the other necessary
equipment is on hand, and the in
stitution will fill long felt need,
as most of the Indians now are re-
quired to visit hospitals outside the
reservation for surgical attention.
