COUNTY GRADERS DOING
EXCELLENT ROAD WORK

The county road graders have
been working under difficulties
since startling and there has been
considerable delay. All machin-
cry, according. to the contract,
was to have reached here by May
Isl, but the third and last engine
was not unloaded until Tuesday
of this week.
When only one engine was
here they did a little work near
town while waiting. When the
second arrived they started work
on the road to Turtle Lake.
They have finished the twelve
miles between here and the Cald-
well farm and have begun on
the road east of Caldwell s. that
leads to Turtle Lake. When that
is completed they will return to
Caldwell g and work west to I'm
derwood, then on to Coleharbor
Garrison, Max, Benedict, Ruso'
and Dogden.
Work will now progress faster
and it will not be long before
there will be good roads between
all the towns in the county.

HON. sPALDING IS CAN
DIDATE FOR THE BENCH

Hon. B. F. Spaulding of Fargo
is a candidate for a place on the.
supreme bench. In Mr.. SEhlding
is embodied all the qualifications
which the people demand in a
person who shall fill this office:
His past record shows that he
does not allow personals favorit-
ism to effect his judgment on
the bench and that his decisions
are invariably given in fur
therence and advancement of jus
tice and equality in the admin
istration Of the law.
People of all classes where
Judge Spalding has resided for
thirty-six years have the utmost
confidence, not only in his ability
but his imphrtiality and high
sense of justice.
There are six nominees for the
supreme court and Mr.. Spalding
should be one of them. He is the
right man for the place.

THE POLITICAL SITUA-
TION AS IT IS TODAY

The political situation in North
Dakota today from a Republica
Viewpoint is sue: as to warrant
the friends and admirers Of j.
H. Fraine in the hope Of a splenr
did Endorsement for him at the
Primaries. This is no political
boast but is substantiated by
facts and figures ami thinking
men who NAV be somewhat un-
settled in their minds as to whom
they will support, will do well 10
consider the facts before June
28th.
1t is admitted that the Non
Partisan League s. strongest foot
hold is in the counties Of Trail,
Steele, Griggs, Nelson, Cavalier
and Pierce. In these counties,
where Mr.. Burdick was strong
two years ago, the League has
lunquestionably made inroads
which will end to depreciate
his vote. TIL t this will detract
from Mr.. Burdick's strength is
admitted by his best "'ienlds and
admirers.
The situation so far as Mr..
FRAMES territory is concerned
is different. The League has not
been able 20 make any material
gains there, but ON the con-
trary the Frame element is
strong, staunch and impregnable.
That Mr.. Frame will run strong
in the western part of the state
is also claimed by men who know
the political horoscope Of the
state thoroughly, basing their
opinion from the support Of the
past and upon reports coming IN
from day to day. While the
Nbn-Partisan League has been
eliminated so far as Mr.. Frame s
strength is concerned the same
can not be said in the case of
Mr.. Burdick.

FOURTH WRECK OF 500
FREIGHT NEAR DOGDEN

Last evening the fourth wreck
on the 500 between Max and
Drake within the last two or
three weeks. This time the
Sanish-Drake mixed train, a
long one, was making run dow
grade toward the alkali flat in
order to get up the gle oppo-
site and must have hit a big
stone which derailed eight ears
in the middle of the tram. The
gravel trains had just deposited
gravel in the middle Of the track
and in this gravel were many
large stones. Thr e cars were
empty flats and five were loaded
with lumber. The front and
rear ends of the train remained
on the track. The bridge was
completely destroyed. 1T will
take two days to get everything
in shape again.-Dogden News.

LITTLE ONES PUT ON
SPLENDID. PR0GRAIs

The play Midsummer Eve"
given by the, chillren of the low
er grades Thursday of last week,
was a decided success. The stage
setting was unusually pretty.
Flowers, that looked like apple
blossoms, were artistically hung
all over the stage, the floor was
covered with leaves and the. odor
when the. curtain went up made
one think he was in the heart Of
an orchard. The little ones Of
the first graile were the will-of-
the4wisps. in the forest and they
skipped lightly around in very
pretty drill. Maxine McCulloch
took the part of +he' little. girl
who wanted to know what the
fairies did n the forest on mid
summer eve. The little green
elves, ten boys Of the third grade
took her 20 the queen, Grace
Yackey, and she was allowed to-
watch the gath eling Of the fairies
Eight little girls waited upon the
queen and gave drill, the effect
Of which was about as pretty
as any ever given here.
Much cred'+; is due the Misses
Noebea anil Busdicker for their
efforts in making the evening g
entertainment. one of the most
successful ones ever presented.

FORMER RESIDENT PASS.
ED AWAY AT FARGO

A week ago yesterday Mrs.
C. A. Rice received a message
telling Of the death Of her ia
ther, Lewis Hanson, at Fargo.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rice left at once
by auto and remained until
Sunday.
Mr.. Hanson had been ailing
with hardening Of the arteries
ever since leaving the western
coast about two years ago. About
six weeks ago he had a stroke Of
Paralysis and since then had
been confined to his bed.
Funeral services were held at
the home by Rev. G. Z. Ford,
pastor Of the Plymouth Congre-
gational church and interment
made at Fergus FaMs besides
the remains Of F. C. Bliss, his
sonin-law who died a few mon tbs
ago. Mr.. Hanson was a true
soldier, and when buried his
coffin was covered with flag.
Mr.. Hanson was born north Of
Prussia in Germany rs years ago.
He came to this country when a
young man and SO years ago
next December was married. He
was a member Of the famous
First Minnesota regiment during
the civil war and was one of the
charter members Of the G. A. T.
at Fergus Falls. His name was
first on the record. In 1900 he
came to Washburn and started in
the implement business which he
conducted until leaving for the
coast about eight years ago.
He is survived by his widow and
four children: Mrs. +. G. Bliss,
Fargo, Mrs. G. A. Rice, Wash
burn, Jap and Herb Hanson Of
Fargo.
Mrs. Hanson and her son Jap
will live in a new house that has
been started and will be COM
paeted in north Fargo in q short
time. Mr.. Hanson helped to
make all the plans.
Mrs. Rice was in Fargo a few
weeks ago to visit her parents
and realized then the condition
Of her father but was unable To
stay away from her little girls
who needed her at home.
The bereaved ones have
many friends in and near Wash
burn who extend their deepest
sympathy to. the, sorrowing ;a-

they will favor us on several

COLORED BANKERS MAKE BIG
DEAL.

OF interest financially to the race
is the announcement of the forma-
ton of a syndicate headed by Brown
& Stevens Bankers of Philadelphia,
and w. II. C. Brown, Investment
Bankers, of Washington, d. c., and
others, which syndicate has under
written the entire new issue of Fifty
Thousand Dollars (S5O,0O0.0Ol capi-
tai, and surplus of the Standard Life
Insurance Company.
When this company which is the
only company in the world owned
and operated by the race, was organ
lied, it was necessary to secure the
aid of white banking institutions, to
help finance it. 1t is a signal advance
in the history of financial affairs of
the race that a group of colored finan-
cial institutions can undertake, and
carry forward a project involving so
large an amount of money. 1t is
very creditable to these financial in
stitutions that their resources enable
them to carry on such undertakings
frought with so much good to the
race, and which will result profitably
to themselves, the public and the
company.
This stock will be offered to the
public by the syndicate and an op-
portunity to participate in the or

Occupying a conspicuous place in
the plans of those who are arrang-

session of the National Medical As
sociation. The arrival of delegates
who plan to attend this meeting is
awaited with eager expectation. A
certain sense of pride is manifested
in being host to such a learned body
as this association of medical men,
along with the organization of bust
ness men.
The same high degree of interest
which always makes these sessions
well worth attending will character
ize the meeting of the National Med
ical Association this year. The pro-
gram being arranged will contain
many features of peculiar signific-
ance to the medical fraternity Live
subjects intimately associated with
the everyday habits of the race will
be discussed. Men who are experts
in their chosen lines will direct
these discussions. Individuals of
high standing in their profession
will be present. 1t will be an ac-
casion from which no Negro physi-
clan can afford to absent himself.
