According to the annual report OF
City Engineer r. L. Anders, Just COM
pleted there is at the present time ST.
O45.s52.17 worth of paving in use in
the city of Fargo.
The total cost of sewers Installed
prior to January. 1917, was $459, 81
with trunk and lateral sewers con-
tracted for which will almost double
this amount There is a total of
$So6.O17.S9 worth of water mains in
use with considerable amount con-
tracted for and contemplated for con-
struction this summer There is a
total OF $250.787.02 worth of sidewalks
and street and alley crossings in use
and large amount coming in for con-
struction this season.
This, briefly. gives an idea of the
large amount of special improvements
In use in the city and the tremendous
amount that will be put in this season.
Mr.. Anders estimates that improve
ments in Fargo this year will total
between 100000 and 81 ,O00, 600.
Reviews Engineering Work.
1t is interesting to note from the re-
ports of Mr.. Anders the amount of
engineering work that has been done
in Fargo in the past sixteen years. In
1910 there was total OF $201. or. SO
worth of work. In that year the city
built the detention hosuital at $21,-
410.43. the south side fire station at q
cost of $16.94S.46 and the dam in the
Red river at cost Of $7.S56.02. The
balance was largely paving. sewer.
water and sidewalks.
In 1911 there was Ss0.215.56 OF work
done. In 1912. $363.046.44. In 1918
the filtration plant was erected at a
cost of $116.8S0.50 and the pumping
station at $16,948.46 with a total for
the year of $256.60s.74. In 1914 there
was $T0.147.4S worth of work done:
1915. $244,290.40 and last year 1884,
071.50.
Much Paving Work Done.
The report on the paving PROPOSE
ton is especially interesting. This re-
port shows that there is now SS,525.37
linear feet. or $374.926.SS square yards
of paving in use in the city, TOTAL of
90,778.32 linear feet or 3S8,137.19
square yards having been constructed
in Fargo since the first pavement was
paid, the greater part of which has
been torn up and replaced. The total
cost of paving in use Is $1,045, s52.17,
the total cost Of that constructed
prior to Jan. 1. 1917 being SLOTS. 1919.
The following tabulation taken from
the reports shows the various kinds of
paving that has been constructed prior
to 1917:

nice, because Studebaker's finishing
work is the sum of years of expert
ence.
You won't have to renew the
leather on your cushions, because
experience has taught Studebaker
how to select and buy the highest
quality of leather.
You won't need to worry about
making grade with a Studebaker
car, because the Studebaker motor
has been perfected into the most
powerful motor in the world in
ratio to gasoline consumption.
You won't have to continually
worry about fabrication, about oil
and greasing parts of your car, be-
cause every part is equipped with
ample capacity grease cups.
These are the things that make it
delight to own and run Stude-
baker car, and cause you to say, II
never have any trouble with it."

pears from the information the first
common nuisance may have been the
obstruction Of a highway. for which a
person may be prosecuted ana punish
ed. Under the constitution nu person
can be prosecuted for a public ofrense,
except on an information or indict-
ment which must state the facts
constituting the offense. The allega-
tions of an information or indictment
must be direct and certain in regard
to the offense charged. (Compiled
laws, section 10686.) The objection
that the facts do not constitute pub
lie offense NAV be taken on motion or
in arrest of Judgment. (Section 10745)
and for this reason counsel for de-
PENDANT made such a motion. In
charging the commission Of second
offenSe it is necessary to state the
facts showing the commission Of a
first offense and also to state. in a
general way. that the accUveu was
duly convicted Of the f1rst onense.
Under the statute it Is not necessary
to set forth the record or the convlc.
ton, as it was at common law. and
for that reason the judges rush to the
conclusion that it is not necessary 10
state the facts showing a first offense.
The conviction alone Is not sumcient'
because it is no uncommon thing for
a party to be convicted when he Is
nerfectiy innocent. At Salem. Mass,
seven women were convicted of witch
craft and now we know that their con-
yiction and execution was an outrage
and a disgrace to the commonwealth.
The law is short and pointed. The
charge is that eight years prior to the
date of the information the defendant
was convicted of the keeping of a
common nuisance. To say that there
is a charge of the commission of two
offenses against the prohibition law,
we must do violence to our common
sense and the fundamental rules of
pleading.
And there is no reason for giving
drastic construction to drastic
statute to sustain drastic sentence
of q poor human being. The majority

THINGS you FORGET

The Studebaker Series "19" car is
an evolution and perfected piece of
mechanism. That is why you can
FORGET many little things, about
Studebaker that you have to RE-
MEMBER and care for on other
cars not so highly developed.
For instance: the cooling system
of the Studebaker car will work in
any climate, at any temperature,
providing you keep water in the ra-
diator.
The fabrication system of STU
debaker car will work unfailingly in
absolutely all conditions, if you will
remember to put oil in the crank
case occasionally.
The electric lights, and the cleo
trio starter will never fail you if
little distilled water is put in the
battery from time to time.
You will not have to paint your
body frequently to keep it looking

PEDESTRIANS WIN
over KENT SOCIETY
Joint Debate Of Literary Societies Of
the High school Was Held
Last Evening.

The Phosterian Literary society de-
feated the Kent Literary society at
the high school auditorium last eve
ming in most interesting debate.
The question was: Resolved, That
the Literacy Test as Provided by Con-
gress Is a Wise Restriction on Immi-
grafton. The Kent society took the
negative and was represented by Miss
Bernice Gestie, Miss Helen More and
Fred Ball. The Affirmative was adj
vanced by Miss Evelyn Patterson, Miss
Iva McCracken and Allen Shively, rep
resenting the PEDESTRIANS.
The debate showed that the teams
have not only had good coaching but
that each speaker has no little natural
talent, and has spent much time in the
study of the important question under
discussion.
B. c. Tighe, principal of the high
school. presided at the debate, the
judges being John Frame, r. B. Blake

opinion concludes by saying the facts
were fully and fairly submitted to

assumption. and 1t is not warranted
by anything in the record. And indeed
the conviction Is under a drastic

Admiral Dewey:
"In Cavite, you know, there are no

when he presented his bill Dewey
remarked that there were many over
charges which he could not pay. The

replied that he would Pay the original

The Guilty Stool.

The Guilty stool was the seat of re.
pentance formerly employed in the
Scottish church for the exposure Of
offenders against the moral law. The
transgressor having been deprived of
church ordinances and duly taken to
task privately, was then compelled to
make a public acknowledgment of the
misdeed prior to being restored to
favor. Each culprtt did penance by
occupying the Guilty stool in the pres
ence Of the whole congregation and
was openly lectured by the minister on
the enormity of the offense.
