Frazier Writes Officers
About Consumption Law

Bismarck, May 18.-The stage is be-
ing set in North Dakota for placing the
Consumption law into effect and for the
registration of men of military age.
Officials of the counties have been
advised as to the law and special Of
ficers are being named to secure the
registration of the men,
Governor Frazier today wrote let
ter to the sheriff of each county point
ing out essentials of the law and urg-
Ing that they cooperate in every way
possible.
"The government does not want the
people to feel that this is a forced
draft" says Governor Frazier in his
letter, "but that it is the fairest meth
cd that could be devised of raising an
army and apportioning the number Of
men from each state according to its
population"
Governor Frazier's letter to the sher-
IFS is as follows:
"The sheriff, county auditor and the
county physician will constitute the
county registration board, of which the
sheriff will be chairman. It will be the
duty of this board to appoint a regis
trar in each voting precinct in the
county and to see that proper places
are provided in which to hold the
registration.
THE war department has ordered
change in the regulations for the reg
lstration of the sick and Of persons
who expect to"be absent from their
home counties on registration day.
The tentative regulations furnished
you provide that such persons report
to county clerks 1--WE hold this to mean
county auditors) on the sixth day after
the proclamation is made for instruc-
tons as to how they may register
(see paragraphs 81 to 61). Since the
local authorities now have cards there
is no reason why such persons should
wait until the sixth day and the pres
ident's proclamation will dirce them
to report at once. You are directed to
furnish registration cards, certificates
and placards of instruction to your
county auditor and instruct him to be-
prepared to register such persons i'm
mediately after the publication of the
presidents proclamation. This re-
Quires that you at once direct the aud
itors attention to paragraph 81 to 81
of the tentative regulations which
you have received. Kindly give this
your immediate attention. Also give
all the publicity you can in regard to
the registration so that all will under
stand.
ut is important that every man
from the ages of 81 to 80 inclusive
shall register. You have the authority
to ask for assistance from any coun-
ty, city or township officials or of any
citizen
II am confident that every loyal
citizen of North Dakota is willing to
cooperate in making Registration
Day a success and that they will
show their patriotism by giving every
assistance possible.
"The government does not want the
people to feel that this is a forced
draft but that it is the fairest method
that could be devised of raising an

men from each state according to it's

Equity Plans Feeder
Market at Big Plant

Excavation for the Equity packing
plant began Wednesday and is prog
ressing very nicely under the favor
able weather conditions
1t is expected it will take about
three weeks to complete the general
excavation and completion of the rail
road grade. Drainage thing is being
placed under for points OF railroad
switch curves and trackage, so as to
avoid heavy floods or rains doing dam
age to track or building These drains
will extend to the river. Excavation
is also being made for a pinch tile
sewer to lead from the main building
to the river, which will take care of
all sewerage from the plant.
Contract for laying of the steel rail
has been let and the Northern Pacific
agrees to install same as soon as the
grade is finished. This will enable
the contractors to give more reason

work, as they can figure on having
adequate transportation facilities lead
ing along side of the plant during con-
struction work.
The entire length of switch track
will be about 1000 feet from the main
line. This will give sufficient amount
CT trackage for the loading of all fin

unloading of live stock adjoining

Pioneer Farmer Laid
to Rest on Thursday

The funeral of VIM. Schulz, who
died early Tuesday morning, was held
Thursday afternoon from the Salem
NJ. E. church, Rev. c. F. Bublitz~ Off
ciating. One of the largest gatherings
attending a funeral in this county was
eloquent testimonial to the high re-
gard in which Mr.. Schulz was held.
The floral tributes were many and
elaborate.
VIM. Schulz was born in Rosin, Pom
merania, Germany, April 10, 1854. At
the age of 16 he was the first of his
family to come to America, the rest of
the family following some years later
His first stop in America was at Mil
waukee. After few years he went
to St. Paul, and at Woodbury., near ST.
Paul, he stayed until 1878, at which
time, he together with other young
men, came to Valley City. Here they
took up government land and began
to establish homes. Many were the
hardships and privations which these
pioneers endured at that time, but
with energy and diligence many of
these pioneers succeeded materially,
not only attaining prosperity, but even
wealth. Mr. Schulz was one of these
In 1881 Mr. Schulz was married to
Anna Young. Mr.. and Mrs. Schulz
adopted three children, who not only
found with them a pleasant home, but
also kind and loving parents. MI
Schulz joined the Methodist church in
1886. He served his church in the ca
pacity of class leader and since 1892
as a licensed local preacher. Mr..
Schulz was endowed with those quail
tiles which made him a natural leader
among men, namely, good tact and
common sense.
His death was caused by internal
complications, the symptoms of which
appeared about two years ago. In
spite of medical aid a gradual develop
ment became noticeable. On advice
of the doctors Mr.. Schulz sought relief
at Hot Springs, Ark, leaving for that
place with his wife in February. There
he found some relief, but the complf
Gated cause of his troubles could only
be removed through an operation
which avs sought at Rochester, MINI
Here it was found that his physical
condition was such that recuperatior
was necessary before the operation
Since March Mr.. Schulz was at home
and everything seemed favorable. The
time for leaving for Rochester had al
ready been fixed, when suddenly, or
the morning of May Is, Mr.. Schul,
passed quietly away.
He leaves his wife, TWO sons and
one daughter.
