BEAVERS OCCASION
MUCH DAMAGE

Beavers are proving an expensive
luxury in western North Dakota. The
busy little masons are thriving SO
rapidly under protection that they
have become a veritable nuisance. W.
F. Reko of Mandan, chief game ward
en- in the Second district, reports that
he has received this fall So COM
plants Of serious damage to property
resulting from the activity of beavers.
The beavers are primarily dam
builders (west of the river they add
an "N"). To build dams the beavers
require trees, and the fact that some
h~omesteader has spent fifteen to
twenty years in nursing into maturity
the particular tree upon which they
set their hearts makes not a whit Of
difference to the beavers. Their dam
building has resulted in the destruc-
ton of hundreds Of healthy trees; it
has flooded valuable farm lands, and
in general has cost Missouri Slope
farmers thousands of dollars during
the last year:
The beavers dam building endears
them to only one class of Missouri
Slope people-the big ranchers who
find the water backed up by the
beavers barriers a valuable source Of
supply for their stock. The farmers,
who are more interested in trees and
crops than in floods, insist that the
ranchers can better afford to sink
wells than can the state to perpetuate
a source of constant loss.
A beaver dam is also a first-class
cow trap. The piles of brush spann-
ing the creeks look more stable than
they are. Bessie, or her son, or
father or brother, as the case may
be, ventures out on the brush heap;
his or her legs go through and some
time later the owner may ecove the
animal.

ELECTION OF STATES
ATTORNEY A MATTER
OF Big IMPORTANCE

The election of a states attorney in
this county this fall is Of unusual
Importance to the tax payers, in
view Of the fact that a case will be
tried at the December term of court
in which Stark county is attempting
to ecovc about $4,000 from a former
states attorney.
One of the candidates for this Of
fee this fall, who was states attorney
at the time said action was COM
menced, refused to bring said suit
when requested, and the court was
compelled to appoint special counsel
for this purpose, but, as soon as II.
A. Burgcson took office, he took an
active interest in such case, which
was then pending ON demurrer in the
Supreme Court. Tho Supreme Court
on February 1G, 1916, held that the
complaint stated q good cause Of &C
ton for the recovery Of said amount
Of money, and the action is now on
the calendar and will bet ricd at the
December term Of the District Court.
Therefore, it is necessary that the
present states attorney be reelected
for the purpose of assuring an encr-
gctic and conscientious prosecution Of
this case to recover said amount Of
money for Stark county and the tax
paycrs.-Political Matter.

CREDITS LAW
FAKE and GIVES NO
RELIEF TO FARMERS

The Rural Credits law was passed
to make platform timber at the St.
Louis democratic convention in 1916.
1t was rushed through in a hurry to
help the Wilson administration cover
up some of it's failures to make good
on pledges Of 1912. John Burke said
in a speech opening his campaign for
the senate, "It would seem as though
that was sufficient to go before the
people," Z.
Cumbersome and Costly
The Rural Credits act is pictured
to the public as a farmers act. It
is really a bankers act. It is I'M
thinkably cumbersome. It establishes
a governing body of five members

tricts and separate sub-governing
bodies for each (all at high salaries);
an army of counsel, land appraisers,
experts, secretaries, and others-for
what purposes? To help farmers

of interest on the same old kinds of

w. j. Elliott, democratic candidate
for election as sheriff Of Stark county,
states that he is making the run on
a platform Of economy and efficiency;
that he will attend to the duties of
the office in person and that there
will always be some M on the job.
He emphatically states that he

But anyone else can buy this stock

dealings between farmer and banker

PLANS COMPLETE
FOR BIG POULTRY
and CORN EXHIBIT

Arrangements have been completed
for securing the exposition building
for the big corn, alfalfa and poultry
show which is to be held in Bismarck
in January, and the officers of the
Missouri Slope Poultry Association,
who have the affair in charge, are
enthusiastic over the outlook for a
splendid exhibit. Encouraging re-
ports from members throughout the
Slope continue to come in, and these
reports are to the effect that. the
exhibits will be bigger and better than
ever.
The corn exhibit is expected to be
exceptionally fine and a quantity will
be sent from west of the river. Hor-
ace Beardsley, president Of the asso-
citation, was down from Sanger Sum-
day, and says the corn from that vi
entity will be hard to beat. Stark
and Morton counties will send exhib-
it's and many others who now have
the matter under consideration. AL
falfa will also play an important part
in the exhibit.
The association is fortunate in Sc
curing the services of Wilbur Field as
superintendent of the corn and al
falfa exhibits and this in itself in
sures the success of that department.
Mr.. Field has had a great deal of ex-
perience in gathering and preparing
exhibits.
The prize list will be large. In adj
dition to the association sweepstakes,
the Bismarck Commercial Club will
offer substantial cash premiums.
While the amount has not been def
nitely decided, the agricultural COM
mittee assures the officers it will
be around $4,000. Many other prizes
of $500 are being offered by Slope
business men, so that when all r re-
ceived they will make a big list.
The poultry exhibit will be worth
going miles to see. In fact it is pre-
dicted that this will bring together
some of the finest birds in the west,
and the largest Barred Plymouth
Rock show west of Chicago. The
state meeting of the Barred Plymouth
Rock Club will be held at this show
and a $500 silver cup will be offered
by them, in addition to the many as
ISOLATION premiums. The Partridge
Wyandotte Club also meets in Bis
marck on these dates, and $4,000 in
cash premiums is offered on that
variety alone, besides regular cash
prizes. Another variety which will be
strong both in quality and numbers is
Buff Orpingtons. They are expected
to crowd Barred Rocks for largest
numbers.
Visitors will have an opportunity OF
seeing many varieties Of poultry that

STATE TWINE OUTPUT

H. H. McCumber of Marstonmoor,
Stutsman county, will realize $4,000
from his 16-acre tract of land which
he had in alfalfa this season. Judge
j. U. Hemmi of the Stutsman county
court received word from the farmer
regarding his money making propo-
sition. McCumber wrote Judge
Hemmi that he cut one crop for hay,
allowing the second crop to go to
seed. From the crop he got a yield
of IS bushels, machine measure,
which will probably amount to rs
bushels of 80 pounds to the bushel
when cleaned. He has contracted for
the sale of a portion at 81 a pound.
If he disposcs of his entire alfalfa
crop at this figure which is very
reasonable, he will realize $4,000 off
his 16-acre tract.

PAVING CONTRACT
 AGAIN DEFERRED
COUNCIL STANDS PAT ON ITS COURSE BUT THERE IS FUR
 TIER DELAY IN MATTER.
Not Considered at All Probable That the Paving Could Be Put Through
 In Time for the Winter Season Nov.

Standing pat on it's origina, accep
 taEce ot the compromise with the
 Barber Asphalt Company which pro
 mise would if promptly completed
 have resulted in Central avenue be- ing paved in time for the season $
 business, the city council last night | took another step towards the culmin.
 ation of that contract, but the steps
 are so ow now, as against the oppo. l slton Of Mayor McClendon and AL
 dermen Woolston and Carney, that it
 is considered very doubtful if the i'm
 roNement will be made this winter. Mayor McClendon last night stood as pat as the council stood pat, ue mayor again setting forth that his agreement win the men from whom the city borrowed the money was that jt would not be spent for such pur- poses.
 j A. Gunther, the fiscal agent wbo borrowed the money for the city and who had sent telegrams here pro- tcsung against the use of the bor- ro5ed money for paving improve nents, showed an about face" act last might as was demonstrated when copy ol a telegram was exhibited that he sent to Grand X Company, from whom the money was secured, urging Grant to recommend that the money De used for paving as the council wanted it to be used.
 Thv renewal of the controversy last night brought out some sharp tilts on the floor ol the council, al good homoreC. however Alderman Wool stol jumping Alderman Ledwirge deallensing his seat in the council as ho resided now in the fourth ward while he represented the fifth in the council. Alderman Ledwidge with equal emphasis, challenged the 4iglt Of Alderman WOO,ston to serve the second ward as councilman, and at the same time being an employee of the city in the capacity of the fore man ol the street working gang. AL derman Woolston retorted that the dl- dernanIc job was elective and the city iob agpointve by ohe chief of police, and that he had looked up the
 aW' and found where he stood be- fore he took the iob
 Alderman Little made very straighttorw1rd talk as to the views of the counci in urging this matter of raying over the mayors veto. He said that he and other councimen @ad endorsed the mayor in everything for harmony but that this compromise ha3 been effected and had been sean red closely by business men, and ap- proved JIe called attention to hay ne sent the mayor telegram while ne latter was in New York and ask cd him to investigate similar paving to the specifications for this work, and that the mayor had thought so well of what he had inspected that ne Ihad brought home sample of the

paving. Little said that if the com promise was good one when adopt ed, and when 10 aldermen favored il, it was goo1 now, and that the oppo. sition against it. he regarded as pol. itica', and that the council would cer- tainly try to have the compromise elected as 1t stood.
 Little then presented an ordinance which called for the board of public affairs entering into a contract with a paving expert to complete the de- tails of the letting of the paving con tract The ordinance was read once, and on suspension of the rules, Alder men Woolston and Cagtney voted against it. Ordinarily two-thirds ycte suspends the rules, and this vote was 10 to 2, but the matter of con tract was involved. and the attorneys for the paving company decided the ru.es should be unanimously suspend led or the matter deferred The new ordinance then went over to next Mon day night for a second reading, and will still have to go to another special meeting night before adoption.
 The delay. it is believed, will be su signilicant that the paving of Central avenue will have to go over until late spring, and the matter Of patching u9 the hoes will have to be taken UT forthwith as the street is now so rag ged that il is not alone indecent, un- sanitary, but also dangerous.
