RAIL HEADS STUDY
EIGHT-HOUR LAW
Continued from Page One)

statement says, great concern and
great dissatisfaction with the so-called
eight-hour act, both in principle and
in manner of it's enactment. There has
been no change of feeling on these
points. nor indeed. could there be. in
the light of the facts.
There are various questions of pol
ICY aside from those of an operating
or legal nature. which must be de-
cided. If the railway executives, on
advice of counsel. should conclude that
the law is invalid or even unfair, they
must then consider/what is to be their
attitude to their. shareholders in the
matter of it's enforcement. They must
also consider their duty to the public
in asking for an increase in railroad
rates, as suggested by the administra-
ton. They must meet the question,
whether or not under the so-called
eight-hour law; they must require men
who now work less than eight hours to
give full eight hours of service. These
and otlser questions of policy are all
to be considered before decision or ac-
ton"

Payne for burglary and asked that
the officers hold young Payne ana also
to hold any jewelry he might have on

had sold it, but he is now held in the

TAKEN BACK
TO WYOMING
MAN WANTED FOR MANY
CRIMES TAKEN BACK BY
SHERIFF FROM THAT STATE.

Several days ago the local police
arrested one Oluf Brien, the charge
being carrying concealed weapons.
On his person at the time Of his ar
rest was found an up-to-date auto
matte revolver, little smaller than 4
cannon, and plenty of shells, together
with a search light, cap that could
be used to pull down over his eyes.
The gun was fully loaded and actual
ly cooked when it was taken from
him. It was evident that he was a
bad man, and he was turned over to
the sheriff Of the county and was
awaiting sentence, as he pleaded
guilty to carrying concealed weapons,
but before the court sentenced him it
was thought best to look him up a
little. So our local sheriff and states
attorney questioned him closely and
learned where he had been WORKING
in Wyoming and Montana, and they
wrote the officers there and gave q
description of him, and Immediately
they got word from the sheriff o+
Gillette, Wyoming, that he was the
man wanted there for horse stealing
blackmail and other charges and ask
ed that he be held. This week Sher.
iff Thomas TAFT, of Gillette, arrived
in the city and took his man back
with him, where he faces some ser.
ious charges. After his arrest here
his actions gave him away and tht
officers felt sure that he must 5e
wanted somewhere and it took only .
short time to find out that he is bat
man, and much wanted in Wyomin"

:EDM0RE GETS
GOOD WR|TEUP

Yesterdays Grand Forks Herald
gave the village of Edmore good
writeup, and in the main this is what
it says:
The Great Northern records show
that Edmore is the heaviest freight
station on the Lakota-Sarles branch,
and the agent, Mr.. ]. D. Robertson.
states that it is the best town on the
line, as he has been able to prove on
numerous occasions when some Of the
other agents have questioned the
veracity of his statement. His word
should be taken as authoritative, as
he has Investigated the subject pretty
thoroughly, and, from the number of
people and vehicles on the streets,
nearly every day, and at all hours Of
the day, it would seem that his as
sertion does not hit wide of the mark.
The bank deposits show that Ed
more, and the farming community
surrounding it, is the wealthiest in
this section of the state. One of the
bankers is authority for the stateme..t
that the total deposit for the two
banks aggregate four hundred thou
sand dollars. This in town of, per-
haps, five hundred inhabitants, is a
remarkable showing.
This town can boast that it is one
of the few towns Of it's size that is en- e,
tirely free from debt, and yet the
town has an adequate electric lighting
system, cement sidewalks over all
the business and part of the residence
sections and the streets are kept in
splendid condition.
Practically every trade and profess
sion is represented. There is an at
torney, dentist, a physician and vet
erinary, all of them being experienced
men and thoroughly up up-todate in
their professions. There are two
churches. the Lutheran and Methodist
Episcopal denominations both being
represented and both having resident
pastors. The town has large, fine
school ,haifding, and 9a high rsta1dafd
is maintained in the personnel of the
faculty. The school employs seven
teachers and the high school is ranked
as second-class..
The biggest thing that has lately
come to Edmore is the new flour mill,
owned and operated by Mr.. I. A.
Lestrud. No finer flour can be pro-
duced anywhere than is turned out
by this mill. There are five elevators
to take care of the large amount of
grain marketed from this point.
The fraternities are more than u.s.
ually well represented, as there are
five different lodges, each Of them
having large membership. These
lodges are, the A. F. & A. NJ, Work
men, Woodmen, Yoemen and Sons OF
Norway. +.
There is also good local news
paper, the Herald-News, owned and
edited by Mr.. Hugh Wells. Mr.. Wells
is newcomer, having bought out Mr.
Crary last March, the latter being the
editor Of the Devils Lake World Tx
new editor Is lasaiing good and; II vel
