HAS MADE GOOD

There are very fow voters and
tax payers In Burke county but
what realize that crime has been re-
duced to a minimum here, and that
where a number of years ago there
was dozen or more criminal cases
tried at each term of court, the num-
ber now rarely exceeds two, and at
the last term none were tried. One
reason for this state of affairo Is the
fact that Burke county has sheriff
and a deputy who are very efficient
In landing the guilty party in very
short time after :. crime has been
committed. Very few criminals
have escaped after operating with
in the borders of Burke county dur
Ing the past few years. This fact
Is generally known and very few
people would attempt to do anything
contrary 10 law If they are reason
ably sure Of getting caught immedia-
tely after. Deputy Sheriff Drink
water, who is now candidate for
the office of sheriff of Burke coun-
ty, has been to great extent re-
sponsible to the way the things In
the sherif's office have been hand
led. In a great many cases he went
out and ferreted out the criminals
himself, while in others he was pres-
ent with his chief when this was
done. He has shown himself over
and over again to be very efficient In
rounding up the guilty parties al
most Immediately after the crime
was committed, and the voters of the
county should take this into con-
sideration at the coming election.
Mr.. Drinkwater has made good. This
cannot be disputed. Don't take
chances on the other candidates for
this office. They may do as we'll,
and they may not. Mr.. Drinkwater
is onto the ropes here now, and no
new man could be expected to give
us as efficient service as he has been
giving us-in the past, and as what
we might expect Of him II he IL put
In full charge of the sheriff's Office.

In many cases at the primaries
next Wednesday the vote will be
very close and It would be hard to
predict just who the winner will be,
but it is now about settled fact
that Thos. Peterson OF Carter town
ship will have a walkaway for the
Office of register of deeds. 1t is
hard to find man who is not will
ing to admit this fact, and his nom
nation is now conceded in all parts
OF the county. What seems to .ap-
peal to the voters All over the coun-
ty in Mr.. Peterson more than any
thing else is. his education, his great
desire to please. everyone he comes
in contact with, his great willingness
to get down and work, and the in
terest he takes in everything that
he goes after. In Carter township
where he lives and where he Is best
kn6wn the people know that the Of
flee of register of deeds will be pro-
.perly conducted II Mr.. Peterson is

MISS AGNES G0RMAN
SURPRISED BY FR|NDS

Miss Agnes German, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin German Of
west of town, was very agreeably
surprised on Friday of last week
when the pupils of the Bystedt
school in Bowbells township and
their parents and friends presented
her with purse of money to show
their appreciation of her good work
during the past winter. Miss Cor
man had taught the Bystedt school
since last fall, and before closing
same she gave picnic last Friday
at .Des Lacs lake in honor of the
event. 1t was at this picnic that
the presentation was made. Miss
German knew nothing of the plans
of the children until after she was
presented with the purse and was
naturally greatly surprised. She
asks The Tribune to express her ap-
probation and thanks to those who
helped make up the purse.

be reduced to a minimum after he
takes his oath of office. In addi-
tion to this he. is absolutely fair in
all his dealings, does not jump ac
conclusions, but is willing to listen
to reason from both sides in con-
troversy, and render his Judgment
to the satisfaction of all. He is not
tied down to any clique, and there
is no one that can In any way In
fiuence him. When elected to offlee
he will be absolutely free to use his
own judgment in all cases that come
up before him, and decide cases In
the way he personally feels will be
justice to all. The voters should
not hesitate in the least when they
come to voting for county Judge,
but should, cast their ballot for O.
man that they know to be just the
man for the place. II they stop to
investigate they will find that there
Is no better qualified man for the
place in Burke county than NJ
Knudson. Remember him wheas

Predict That Gilbertson Will
Cary County 3 to | Majority

Of every school in which he worked.
His past employers are his greatest
boosters at the present time. One
thing that appeals to the people
more than anything else Is the way
Mr.. Gilberson has been able, to get
results with the least possible ex-
pense. In most cases the schools Of
which he had charge forged to the
front at no greater expense than
many other schools did which were
costing q great deal more money.
Economy has always been his watch
word, and unless we are mistaken he
will take the past two crops here
into consideration and will not put
s the county to- any heavier expense
than Is absolutely necessary after he
takes ahold Of the office. Most peo-
pie are willing to pay the money
providing results are obtained. The.
Tribune does not hesitate to guar
.antee that there will be- plenty Of
results obtained for every penny

Louis Anderson returned last
Monday morning from Junction
City, Ore., where he spent about two
weeks in visiting with relatives. He
found his brother, Jim, still doing
business at the old stand and appar-
emily we'll satisfied with the way the
world was using him. Peter X.
Peterson was also still conducting
his 80 acre farm and did not seem
to be worrying much as to how
things were going. All the fall
grain In that country this year is
good. but the spring grain is very
poor. The blossoms on most of the
fruit froze this spring and there
will be very little of this product
to sell. Mr.. Anderson also visited
at Portland and Seattle and found
these cities just as lively as ever.
He found that most of western Mon
tana was dried out, and can expect
very little crop. The fall grain is
about six inches high and is already
heading out, while most of the
spring grain west Of Glasgow was
not even coming up.

UTILIZE OLD RAILWAY TIES
Soldiers Take Discarded Timber to
Use in Erection of Semi-Perma-

Fort Hancock, Tex.-Condemned
and discarded railroad ties have been
utilized by American soldiers station
ed here to build semipermanent houses
for the headquarters and other build
ings of the army camp patrol head
quarters. The ties are stood on end
to make the walls of the houses and
discarded railroad rails are used for
rafters. Ties are then laid over these
to form the fiat roof and a coating of
adobe mud spread over these clinked
ties to make the roof watertight. The
crosstie houses are more comfortable
in winter and summer than tents. The
orderly room, the day room and cam
!een and the quartermaster supply
room are all made Of these materials,
the canteen having a brick floor and
plastered roof.
