Predict Big Prices
For Army Horses
Well Known Dickinson Horseman Pre-.
diets Higher Prices for Horses this
Year.--Steady Demand

Joe Cain of Dickinson, one Of the
large horse growers of western North
Dakota, believes that when the
European powers hold their spring
horse inspections the prices paid
will be much in excess OF those il.
1915. He is authority for the stat
ment that French byers did not get
many of the really good cavalry and
artillery horses last year. In the
first place the prices offered were
not very tempting and in the second
place the specifications were too
rigid.
I 1t is a fact, Mr.. Cain says. that
horse buyers have secured the Unit
ed States as never before. More
than half a million horses and over
one hundred thousand mules have
gone for war purposes. Demands
from abroad will continue as long
as the war lasts, and will be strong
for years afterwards, for the battl.
ing nations must call on US for hors-
es for industrial purposes.

Carl U. Jorgenson, state auditor
of North Dakota says: In studying
the progress Of the state it is hard
to find a more accurate criterion
than would be indicated by the in
crease of the acreage assessed, the
increase in the mileage Of its rail-
ways, and the increase in the num-
bcrs assessed under certain items of
its personal property schedule, such
as horses. cattle, sheep, hogs, mules
and pianos, for instance.
Such a ''yard stick" certainly
will not exaggerate, for very little
property Of any kind finds its way
to the tax list before it is assessable.
Therefore, in making up this state
ment to give some idea of North
Dakotas progress and developement,
l have chosen to use the years 1890,
1900, 1910 and 1915. The assessed
acreage is given because 1t indicates
accurately how rapid the govern
ment homestead, and the state and
school lands have been taken or
purchased. Next is shown the in
crease in the railway mileage. be-
cause that proves the acreage in
crease has meant the building Of
towns and cities, and farms, all re-
quiring great railway facilities, while
a number of items, such az horses,
cattle, pianos, etc., are used because
they are interesting in themselves
and indicate that the growth of the
state has not been altogether confin-
ed to railways and increase in land
acreage.

Another Candidate
Enters Sheriff Race
Chas MCLAUGHLIN Announces HE Can.
didacy for Sheriff on Republican
Ticket at June Primasies

In this issue will be found the
card of Chas Mclaughlin, who
announces himself as O candidate
for the republican nomination for
sheriff of Sioux county. Chas.
Mclaughlin is one Of the best
known residents Of the county,
having come t. the reservation
over thirty years ago with his
father, Major Mclaughlin, who
was''one Of the early Indian agents
OF the Standing Rock reservation.
He.. possesses all the. necessary
qualifications to handle the business
Of .,;thc Office, and has a host Of
friends throughout the county who
have assured him their support.
Dan Urell of Fort Yates, Mike
johnson Of ,~astika, and Harry
Geffert Of Cedar Valley, it is given
out on good authority, are also
candidates for sheriff. Should all
these file for the nomination, and
the vote is anywhere near evenly
divided, the candidate who controls
l25 votes will carry off tn e
nomination.
In making his announcement
Mr.. Mclaughlin says that in the
event Of his election he will at all
times be found in his office at tie
county seat unless awny on official
business. TI;is will no doubt have
some weight with the Votes.
However, all the county officers,
including sheriff, county Judge and
superintendent Of schools, are re-
quired by law to reside at the coun-
ty seat and office room has been
provided for them at the court
house.
The salary for sheriff is $500,
county Judge $1,000, and superin-
tendent of schools $500 with iber-
al allowance for mileage and travel
ing expenses. This is more money
than most of the taxpayers COM
nand, which is one of the reasons
whythe reelection Of the present
'isyeu'rlsents = Of these Offices will be
vigorously contested. As the cam
paign goes on and the non-feasance
of these county officials is brought
to general notice, it is likely that
interesting developments will ma
terialize. .r
