ASK MASTER TO
HEAR EVIDENCE
IN N. D.-Muy[N.
DAMAGE CASE
Attorney General Appears
Before Supreme Court
Original Point Involved

Attorney General VIM. LANCER ap-
peared before the supreme court Of
the United States in Washington. this
week and asked for q master to- hear
| testimony in the action Of the state OF
North Dakota VS.. the State of Mime
sofa for $1.500,00O damages from al
legged illegal drainage projects under
taken by the latter state.
The master will take testimony In
st. Paul and at some place in North
Dakota, probably Fargo. =.
The taking of testimony, 1t is ex-
| pected, will begin in a very few days.
A survey Of the land will have to be
made and some 200 farmers will have
to be heard, so that immediate action
is imperative Of the alleged damage is
not to be repeated this year.
| H. A. Bronson, assistant attorney
! general, who is in the city this week,
yesterday received word Of Mr.. Lang
er's action.
The North Dakota-Minnesota case
involves several original points OF
great Importance. The state Of North
| Dakota filed suit for over a million
dollars in damages for the alleged
drowning out of farms south of Fair
mount. They made the point that the
Minnesota drainage system carried
the water intothat section of North
Dakota.
The Minnesota answer was filed on
March 1. 1t denied that the legisla-
ture had authority to order the drain
age project carried out and denied
that North Dakota had sustained any
| damage.
The case involves not only the one
drainage system, which, it is alleged,
caused the damage, but involves
drainage projects in the entire Red
river valley. Two Minnesota projects
now are under consideration-south
of Teney and the Rapid river project.
The case will determine the status
of one state to drain water from state
land so as to cause flood conditions in
another state.
i Mr.. Bronson attended the tri-state
conference in ST. Paul few weeks
ago, when the damage cases and
food-control questions were discussed
Pursuant to action taken at that con-
ference, the North Dakota legislature
passed two concurrent resolutions
dealing with the question. The first
authorized the boards in North Dako-
ia to co-operate with adjoining states
in matters of Hood control, and the
second called: for tie appointment Of
commission Of three to investigate
flood control and, assist drainage dis
tricts in the state.

In North Dakota there are about
an equal number of applicants as
those Of last year. he says.
There are very. few Germans ap-
sand I believe this condition is large
" due to the fact that the Germans
have always been among the first
persons to get their citizenship papers
in the United States. Most Of the
Germans living in this country have
secured their papers before the war"

Mr.. Doe has just returned to Grand
Forks from Langdon, where he con-
sidered II petitions for citizenship
Twelve Of these petitions were admit

stated, "the applicant did not know

The proposition Of an extension of

building the Northern Packing COM
pany plant has been under way, ac-
cording to Manager Thomas Roycraft
of the car concern.
To Accommodate Employees.
1.-The matter has only been discussed
informally" said Mr.. Roycraft today,
but there isn't any doubt that such
line will be put in operation to ac-
commodate the many employees of
such concern as the packing plant
promises to be-"
The creation Of a demand for such
service would surely meet with the CO.
operation on the part of the street
railway, he said. The extension would

Secretary Graves of the Northern
Packing company today stated that
plans and specifications are now be-

the packing plant and it is hoped that
the contract will be let in time to

Real estate has been purchased by
the packing company between the

way for the new street car line, ac-
cording to Mr.. Graves.
Mr.. Graves further declares that
every effort is being made at this
time to make it possible to have the
new packing plant in readiness for
a November killing, to start on the

A Word To Watermen

| Mr.. Editor:
The writer, having been in earlie,
life engaged in the oyster busines
as a longer, scraper, buyer, etc, al
having ever at heart the welfare O.
those who earn a livelihood fro !
our waters, feels that it is his du-|
to call the attention of this class G
our citizenship to some of the que
lions now being discussed, AM
which bear on the present polite
campaign.
Though no longer interested, from
a financial standpoint, my desire 10
help promote the interests of tie
watermen is just as keen as eyer,bo-
lieving, as l do, that those who en-
dure the hardships, exposure AM
great risk in pursuing this kind &
life should be we'll paid for theiI
labors. l have always held to the
opinion that all laws enacted t.
the legislature of this State relatir s
to oysters, fish and crabs, were e..
acted in the sole interests of olt
watermen, and l still hold to it. O.
course, mistakes have been made, al
the Democratic party, having been i,
power almost continuously since tt
close of the Civil War, has had 10
bear the blame for most of thea
mistakes, Gotten unjustly 500, al 4
men have at times deserted the pa
ty and gone over to the enemy witt,
out stopping to properly conside
their course.
l have always found the Demo
Gratis ready and willing at all tim, s
| to correct any mistake that has bee
made in legislative acts, in WhlC
our people have been, and are no.
| interested. For example, the H;
man law, under which a large are
of our natural oyster grounds w
leased out, was passed under Cove
nor Goldsborough's administrator
| and he approved the bill. The oy
| termen, assisted by their friend
myself among the latter, protestt
and appealed to number of Den.
| cratic party leaders to restore {.
| them these natural grounds, az.
the law was promptly repealed, t,
present Governor of our State doii
more, l think, to accomplish til
end than any other individual.
Now, as in the case of nearly .
new laws, before they have be,
fairly tried out, the new crab law
in some particulars unsatisfacto1
and, l regret to learn, few of
crabberS are threatening to vo,
against the Democratic ticket BE-
cause of these objections To n
this is very unwise step, to say t
least | have consulted with par
leaders and party candidates, an
all express a willingness and Dc
| low Nv i
an allowance for per cent. of sm&
crabs, and meeting any other reason
able objection to the law as it nc
stands. What more can a fair-mi'.
ded man ask of any party? And Z
the next legislature is most certa-
to be Democratic, and as the Graf
bers, Republicans and Democrat
alike, must look to the latter par
for the relief they seek. it is cei
tainly illogical for a Democrat t
vote against his party ticket
The writer has nothing to lose G
gain by the result of the prese
campaign, but if my friends, the W.
, termen, feel that their interests a.
at stake, | cannot believe they W
DO otherwise than stand by the pa
ty that has always stood by then
now that they have assurances TIL
: the Democratic leaders and canG
! dates are in full sympathy with the
desires. A FRIEND.
