Carson City, Feb. 16.-A bill which
will contain the rather novel feature
of giving the State authority to f.
nance the development work of min
ing claims located by persons who
have not financial means to expose
the ore bodies is said to be in course
of preparation and probably will
make its appearance soon.
The bill will provide, according to
present plans. that in case a pros
pector discovers a mine which the
State mining Inspector, after proper
examination, believes is a worthy
proposition. the State may, on the
recommendation of the mining in.
spector. pay the locator a certain per
diem for developing the property,
taking in exchange an interest in the
claim. i

H WAY TO FAC
JOHN F. COWAN.

Friends from one end of North Dakota to the other will regret the passing
of John F. Cowan, for he was a loyal friend, an able man and ne of the
states greatest enthusiasts. For many years he was a power in the politics
of the north central part f the state and had the distinction of being the only
attorney general to hold the office for three terms. He served several terms
as Judge of the Second district and in many way; wa honored by his friends
and neighbos. He as not only an able lawyer, but also n of the most
progressive farmers in the state the last years Of his life being largely de-
voted to his agricultural work. He had natural elements of leadership and
the rare gift of attaching warmf friends who were true in veal O. woe, and he
emerged from a great trial a ley and better man, and passed to the Great Be-
yond with the respect and friendship of all, even those who at times had
his opponent-Fargo Post.

DUMPING REPORT UNTRUE

Some newspapers throughout the country have been giving considerable
space regarding the dumping Of several hundred cars of potatoes at the Chi
cago dump grounds, claiming that the reason If il va that the commission
and wholesale produce houses ordered this done so that a shortage could x
isl, thus boosting the retail pIces.
1t has been found upon investigation that the public have been misnform-
ed, according to an investigation by the official of the U. S. Food AdninItra-
ton. It was found that approximately 24y620 bushels of potatoes were n
loaded in October, of which 1882 bushels were hauled t othe dump, II ap-
proximately IL per cent. These potatoes we're frozen, owing to severe cold
weather during this period, which is not a unusual loss to be sustained in
marketing a highly peishabe product.
Clinton G. Clabaugh, a special investigator for the federal government of
justice, has found in his investigation that the dump has been maintained for
years for the disposal of condemned or spoiled fruit and vegetables, but that
there had been n o wiful destruction Of wholesale edibes. The wastage
claimed existed mostly upon paper and that most of all the talk about illegal
destruction of vegetables sis all Chunk"
