GAS CASE TAKEN FROM JUDGE
GIBBONS COURT

- The gas litigation was lifted from,
the hands of aged Judge John Glib
bons yesterday. This follows a COM
plant made by Donald Richberg, at
torney for the council gas, oil and
electric light committee.
Gibbons was the Judge in whose
hands the gas cases have been held
since 1911. The city claimed the cor
rect gas rate was 70 cents a. thou
sand feet Gibbons set the price at
80 cents and turned the case over to
a special commissioner.
During the four years which
elapsed since the start of the litiga-
ton consumers paid the gas COM
pany about $10,O0O,OOO, which must
be returned if the city wins the case.

ELEcTRIFIcATIoN STEP

Another step toward identification
of the steam lines entering the city
was taken yesterday when the rail-
way terminals committee of the
council instructed the railway ter
minals commission to prepare plans
forI the abatement of the railroad
smoke nuisance.
The report of the Assn of Com
merce on identification, which cost
a half million and was paid for by
the railroads, was turned over to the
body to be used at its proper value.
The report of the commerce body
recommended Identification, but
said it was not feasible at present be-
cause the railroads were not finan-
eially able to bear cost of the change.

A-A-CHOOI WARE MAN WHO
SNEEZES! IT'S GRIP!

This grip formerly la grippe) bus
mess is something not to be sneezed
at. This burg is full of it, how full
one cannot say, but to hear the doc
tors tell, there are anywhere from 1
to 100000 cases.
Sears, Roebuck & Co. report that
10~per cent of their workers have the
grip. Marshall Field & Co. admits
that grip is prevalent among it's en-
ployes, and an inside tip relates that
the basement workers are especially
heavily hit from the illness. 1t seems
that a big portion of the State street
workers suffering from grip are those
who work in the so-called bargain"
Easements.
Lots of fresh air is the best pre-
tentative against grip" says Health
Commissioner Robertson, and all the
docs seem to agree with him.
Keep clear of the gink that tries to
sneeze in your face; the universe
gets most of it's grip germs from the
sneezing of grippers- grip is q
contagious disease.

THOMPSON DISCUSSES LAKE
FRONT IMPROVEMENT PLANS
Mayor Thompson talked to the re-
porters for an hour in his Office on
the lake front improvements of the
Chicago Plan ~com'n. The mayor
really knew what he was talking
about and so was very interesting.
VIM. Hale Thompson does not
want a narrow lagoon, a few hun
dred feet wide, between the proposed
filling and present edge. of the lake.
He wants an island built a mile off
shore; to have a trolley running
along, it; to have bathing beaches,
tennis courts, golf links and every
thing else to make. it playground
for the people of Chicago.
''The lake is only 26 feet deep a
mile off Chicago's shore line," said
the mayor. eve have a wonderful
natural advantage and I'm going to
ask the people of Chicago to boost
for this improvement. Let the gov
eminent build the first big breakwa-
ter and then let us make this land
behind it. This city. the second
largest in the country, is without
harbor protection 1t is a shame
Some day this will be the greatest
inland seaport in the world. These
improvements will help make it So"

GREAT EARNINGS
FOR RAILROADS
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Show Biggest Earnings For Any
Year In History Of Roads.

st. Paul, June 2S.-The earn
ings Of the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific
railroads for the fiscal year
ending June 50, will be between
$155, 600, 600 and $l6O, 600, 600.
This is the greatest either road
has ever earned in any one
year.
The earning of the Great
Northern will be more than
$50, 900, 600. while the Northern
Pacific will earn more than
$75, 900, 900.
Both roads will enter the new
fiscal year on July l with pros
poets much better than the
closing fiscal year opened at.
The general prosperity OF the
United States and the bumper
crop of 1916 were the two chief
factors in the new high records
made by both roads. Heavy
shipments of automobiles add
ed to the earnings.

Jobs Held For State Employees.

Bismarck, June "a. AT a
conference today between Gov
ernor l.. b. Hanna, board of
regents and the board of con-
troll, it was decided that all
state employees, teachers and
professors at the state educa-
tional institutions. who enlist
in the North Dakota National
Guard, shall have their posi-
tions held for them during the
term of their enlistment.
1t is further agreed that all
persons hired by any of these
boards to take the place of
those who enter military SER
vice, will be engaged only
temporarily and that such shall
be the understanding at the
time when they are hired.
This step was taken by the
governor and the boards in or
der to accommodate those who
are in the service of the state
and who also belong to the
national guard, or who may en-.
list from now on.
Several of the state employees
are members of the guard.

entire BLOCK IS
BURNED AT Leeds
loss Of $4,000 is Suffered In Ben
son County Town By Blaze Or
iginating in Pool Hall.

Leeds, n. d. June %. Fire,
which originated in the Henry
Nelson pool hall and restaurant
early today destroyed practi-
cally an entire block in the
business district of Leeds. Only
one building was left standing.
The loss is estimated at 500, 600.
Driven by a high wind, the
fire spread rapidly. The build
ings destroyed are: Nelson
pool hall and restaurant, on the
second floor of which was locat-
ed the Masonic temple; the
Geo. Elder residence; the Nov
city Restaurant and hotel, own
ed by Mr.. Elder; the Leeds
News Building and several
small structures.
The Nelson building and the
News structure were partially
Insured, but there was no IN
surance on the other buildings.
The origin of the fire is not
known. Last night, people in
the pool hall detected the odor
of smoke, but they could locate
no fire. 1t is believed that it
smouldered in the walls several
hours before breaking out.

Ducks Are Rehatching.

About nine out of every ten of
the native wild ducks lost their
young this spring owing to
climatic conditions and they
are now engaged in Matching
new families. The native
ducks will be too young for
shooting when the hunting
season opens, but the law can
not be changed and it should
be up to every true sportsman
to refrain from hunting ducks
until the latter part of Septen-
ber. The law should be chang
ed forbidding the hunting of
ducks until later in the season.
The birds will be in all the
better condition. The best
ducks are always those secured
late in the season. Minot In

At the last minute the demo-
cratic friends of Archie Gamer
on decided to run him for coun-
ty com missioner of the second
district. He has been nominal
ed on the democratic ticket via
the sticker route and will be
pitted against J. P. Holl in the
fall election.
Superintendent Layne got a
mighty handsome vote from
his home town, Bottineau Civ
ing him a majority over his
opponent Of 1852.
"Froggy' Smith didn't even
get the Smith vote in Botti-
neau. His entire county vote
averages about one vote tor
each three precincts.
While the vote between
Adams and Morton for state s
attorney is rather close, Ada ms
appears to have enough of a
lead to assure him of the nomi-
nation.
Cecil township, not included
in above totals, gave Frazier
56 votes, Burdick 0, Frame .,
Smith O. Kraabel got every
vote cast for lieutenant govern

John Burke was nominated
for the United States senate on
the democratic ticket by big
margin over bis opponent, F.

ID. H. Macarthur, formerly OF
Bottineau, according to the
early returns, is the democratic
nominee tor governor.
In the first district the race
for congress between Helgesen
and Cuthbert is very close, but
indications are that Helgesen
will again land the nomination.
O. r. Finstad has been noni
mated for commissioner of the

With fairly representative returns in from
every section of the state the entire Nonpartisan
ticket appears to have been elected with safe
majority While totals not obtainable at the
present time, the indications point to a large
ma jority for Frazier, the farmers candidate for
governor, with Burdick second and Fraine poor
third. ''Froggy" Smiths vote appears to have
been negligible and will not be enough to have
in any way affected the candidacy of any of the
other candidates.
United States Senator Porter ]. McCumber
has again been endorsed by substantial MAORI
ty over Hanna and Nestos. The latter Develop
ed more..strength than generally conceded
to him and the complete vote may show him
leading Hanna.
A report from Grand Forks says that the
! three candidates endorsed by the League for
members of the supreme bench are leading in
the race and indications that all will be non1i
mated.
In the county legislative race Hagen and

Harry E. Layne appears to
have outdistanced his oppon-

both candidates are nominated
and both will again go on the
ballot in the fall election.

token of it's confidence in the

it and an appreciation of the
high spirit of patriotism that

nations honor.

While the rural vote seems
to have turned out enmasse in
Wednesdays election, tn s
does not appear to have been
the case 'ifa the towns, parti-
cularly 50 in Bottineau county.
This is perhaps due to the fact
that there were few contests on
the county ticket, and com
parative lack of interest in the
state contests.
Bottineau city polled only
1876 republican votes, this being
far less than normal.
Following are the totals OF
the three precincts in the city

contests:
