Circuit Court convened here
Monday morning with all officers
in their places and ready for
business. By noon the court
was organized and a specially
strong charge was delivered by
Judge Bates, who touched on
the law relating to the use of the
public highways, and instructed
the jury to indict those persons
who in disregard to the rights of
others, appropriate the whole
road to their own use. After the
charge, Hon Rush H. Knox made
a short talk announcing his can
didacy for Judge of the Supreme
Court. The docket is light, hence
the court will not likely consume
half the time allowed by law.

Her God fearing character. her sense
of honor. Justice and Righteousness
which had been instilled into her by
her early training was aroused by the

up her work on the platform, making
her plea for sobriety, right living and

Mrs. Lake lays great stress in all her
speeches on the Importance Of home
life in America. She claims the nation
is no better and no worse than its
homes.
"Unless the nation is grounded on
Christian homes says she, "all other
reforms are in vain. The great needs
of the people are more old Fashioned,
deep seated religion and more per-

THE Divine Rights of the Child on
our forthcoming Chautauqua program,
Mrs Lake lived all her girlhood on a
farm in northern New York. She mar
ried when quite young and was wild

children looking to her for necessaries
of life, work was an imperative de-
mand. Precipitated thus suddenly into
a hitherto unknown field, she became
deeply interested in labor conditions.
The knights of Labor, at that time
the most prominent labor organization,
appealed to her particularly because of
the plank in its platform of principles
demanding equal pay for equal
work" Under the auspices of this or
ganization, which created for her the
office of general investigator of the

PRESS
HAVE SPLENDID
GATHERING

The meeting of the North Dakota
Press Association was held in Grand
Forks Friday and Saturday last Ind
proved to be a very pleasant and pro-
fitable meeting. While there was not
as large a meeting as had been hoped
for, owing to the stormy weather and
many trains being blocked, over fifty
members were present and many mat
ters Of Importance were taken up.
All day Friday there was a business
meeting and at six o'clock a splendid
banquet was given by the Grand
Forks Commercial Club, after which
there was social dance, which YVES
thoroughly enjoyed by those pesent.
Saturday there was another busi-
ness, session, and before the close ell
ection of officers took place and the
place for holding the summer meeting
was decided upon, as we'll as for the
next winter meeting. The summer
meeting will be held at Lake Mete-
gosche, near Bottineau, and the Bot
tineau Commercial Club will have
charge of the affair. The winter meet
ing will be held at Bismarck. Among
the many important matters taken up
by the Association, and we believe the
most important matter, was the or
ganization of the Publishers Mutual
Fire Insurance Company. The plan
was laid before the gathering by E.
NJ. Crary, and every member present
became very enthusiastic over the
project. Resolutions were passed IA
voring the organization of such c>m-
pany and committee of which E. II.
Grey is chairman, wcs appointed to
push the proposition along.
The election of officers preceded the
selection of meeting places. Robert
Hughes, of Wahpeton, was chosen
president. The other officers are:
First vice president, M. I. T -hne:',
Langdon; second vice president, Geo.
A. Montieth, Finley; third vi /. pes
dent, ]. H. McGarry, Alexander; Sec
retary, D. r. Carlson, Towner; treas
urer, j. H. Howard, McHenry; ex-
ecutive committee, E. F. Peterson,
Dickinson; w. B. Mclaughlin, Ken
mare; H. P. Knappen, Bismarck.
The convention, which closed late
Saturday afternoon, was undoubtedly
one of the MT successful in. the his.
tory of the association. Advertising
was the general theme of the con:en-
tion and many helpful discussions
brought out important ideas on al
phases Of the question.

TO E[ECTR|FY
ITS SYSTEM
G. N. WILL CHANGE ITS POWER
FROM SPOKANE TO SEATTLE.
ROAD MAY USE ELECTRICITY ON
ALL LINES IN WASHINGTON.

TheGreat Northern railroad propos-
es to electrify it's system between Spo-
kane and Seattle, distance of ap-
proximately $40 miles. This project
will, it is said, be on the roads list
Of improvements to be proceeded with
next year.
It is believed in Western railroad
circles that the Great Northern will
eventually use electric power on all it's
lines in the state of Washington. En-
gineers of the company have been for
some time going over the plans and
preparing estimates of the cost of the
work.
In view Of the Milwaukee roads en-
terprise in electrifying 440 miles of
line across Montana the possibility of
the Great Northern substituting elec-
tricity for steam across Washington
has aroused deep interest. It is said
that the Great Northern's project
across the state of Washington would
be easier Of accomplishment than the
Milwaukee's electrical extension.
The Great Northern would have to
electrify over only one mountain
range, the Cascades, where the Mil
waukee has crossed three, the Belt,
Bitter Root and Rockies. It will cost
the Milwaukee road total of about
$s,000,00o for electrifying 440 miles OF
line and it is competently estimated
that it would cost the Great Northern
around 100000 to electlify $40 miles
from Spokane to Seattle.
When the 440 miles across Montana
are completely equipped by the Mil
waukee, power would be drawn from
eight different stations, insuring Ion
tinuity of service and guarding ag-
ainst possible breakdown at any o,
the stations. For this reason it i!
suggested that if the Great Northern
should electrify across Washington, i
may buy power at Seattle and Spo
kane, as well as develop it's ow powe!
at Lake Chelan.

BEAVERS MOVE
SHOCKS FOR A DAM

Mandan, N. D., Feb. leo down
and chase those hogs out of Frank
Dettman's oat field" was the order
of G. D. Gunder, to his children.
The children obeyed, and in a rew
minutes came running back:
"They're not hogs, they're beav-
ers!" they exclaimed.
Then Frank Dettman and G. d.
Gunder, who are farmers near Jud-
son, Went to investigate.
They discovered that beaver ,,.d
moved eight oat shocks Of ten b,,3'es
each to the Sweet Briar creek ard
there used them in building a dam.
The beavers had moved the shocks
more than 700 feet to the bank of the
creek, there pushed them into the
stream and swan with them 400 feet
down stream to the beaver dam,
where, the oats were woven into the
obstruction.
Mr.. Dettman previously had ap-
pealed to game wardens for relief
from the beaver damage, but asserts
that he now will protect the animals.
There are dozens Of beavers in the
Sweet Briar creek along his farm,
and with closed season in North OAK
ota, until 1920, he expects to develop
|a full fledged beaver farm, and then
make a cleanup" on hides after
that date.
Protected for the past several years
the beavers are becoming tame and
are increasing in great numbers. Mr..
Dettman asserts that ON his farm
there have been more than 200 trees
cut down, and other farmers report
big damage.

Williston,N. D., Feb. IA serious,
outbreak of hemorrhagic septicemia,
commonly called infectious pneumon-
ia, in cattle being shipped from South
st. Paul has been reported to State
Veterinarian DR.. w. F. Crewe.. Out
breaks have been reported at Memo
ken, Wilton, Tagus and Arnegard.
The disease, which is blood :nfec-
tion, is transmissible from one animal
to another and is always fatal.
DR.. Crewe is sending specimens of
the internal organs of infected ami
mails to the federal bureau of animal
industry at Washington for examina-
tion. So far no cure for the disease
has been discovered and veterinarians
are at loss as to how to treat t. AS
a general rule the animals infected

DETECTIVE C|' ASKS
FOR NEW TRIAL

Some time ago a detective by the
name of Normal Luce was tried at
Minnewaukan, the charge being kid
mapping a child which belonged to the
Michaels family. This family has been
in the lime-light for some time past
and among other things divorce was
granted and the child was in the Gus
tody of the father, when this detec-
tive and the child's mother came from
Duluth and succeeded in ginning po-
session of the child and the outcome
was the arrest and conviction Of young
Luce, the detective. He now seeks q
new trial and the arguments were
heard before Judge Buttz the latter
part Of the week. Luce appears to be
q bright young man and his predica-
.1nent is more the result Of his ignor-
ance of the law, than of any criminal
intent. Theverdict of the jury In
convicting him was surprise to all
who heard tie case.

CHARGE OF THE AFFAIR.

North Dakota will celebrate "Baby
Week"
The event, which is part of a ma
,tion-wide movement, will be held in
the Flickertail state, beginning the
week of March 4.
E. j. Taylor, state superintendent
Of public instruction, has sent the fol-
lowing notice to teachers and superin-
:tendents in North Dakota:
Urges Cooperation.
'The children's bureau of the Unit
ed States department Of labor has in
augurated a movement which has for
IFS object the improving Of the con-
dition Of very young children. This
movement has enlisted the attention
Of the best people in the country.
'The national children's bureau has
designated the week beginning March
4 as Nationwide Baby Week. The
following is taken from the circular
sent out by the bureau:
1.-THE purpose Of the baby week in a
community is primarily educational;
it is two-fold; First, to give to par
ents an opportunity of learning the
facts in regard to the care Of their
babies; and, second, to bring home to
every one in the community the i'm
portance of the babies of that special
community, and the need of perma-
nent work for their welfare"
---e---r Shows Importance. sss T..
"The North Dakota Federation Of
Woman's clubs has requested that ttoul
people give this movement special at
tention thru the public schools.
It is surely very proper for us tc
direct the attention of our people tt
this subject. There is nothing o1
greater Importance to our state thar
the children.
"Their welfare means the welfare o.
the state. Wehave had our week fo1
studying the resources Of our STATE
and devising ways and means Of in
creasing the wealth of North Dakota
The natural resources, live stock, man
ufacturing and commerce have hat
our attention. It would seem tina
our people should very properly Sc
aside one week for the children an
especially for the babies.

and the committee of the state Edu
cation association minnie Neilso1

CRONNA TO ASK
INVESTIGATION

Washington, Jan. 31.-As result
of private information, Senator Gron-
ma will bring charges before the SEN
ate in a few days of the existance of
a binder trust and demand an investi-
cation of the International Harvester
company. Efforts to delay considera-
tion of the bill in the agricultural COM
mittee have failed, and Gronna has
been given a promise for an early
hearing on the senate floor. If this
does not come Immediately, he will op-
en- individual fight. His attack is
caused by the 2-cent raise in binder
twine all thru the northwest.

LARGE BARN IS BURN
ED TO THE GROUND.

Langdon, N. d., Jan. 31.-Fire dur
ing bad storm burned the large barn
of Frank Hoffarth to the ground. The
cause of the fire is not definitely
known, but it may have been started
early in the morning and been smoul-
dering for some time. The building
is a total loss and it was only with
great danger and consequent danger
that the horses and cattle were saved.
The barn was fine structure with a
high stone wall rising above the foun-
dation, in fact one of the best struc-
lures of it's kind in the Mt. Carmel
settlement. It has not been learned
to what extent, if any, the loss was
covered by insurance.
