Exchange Suit
is Finally Decided

Bismarck. N. D., Aug. 15.-An
Equity Exchange. commenced BY
former Attorney General H. J.. Linde,
was heard yesterday when an appeal
was .docketed in the supreme court,
and where Judge Cole Of Cass county
denied the right Of the Equity Elk
change to recover costs in the suit.
After considerable testimony had
been heard on both sides, the orig
inal action was dismissed by stipula-
ton of counsel. Judge Cole had
based his refusal to allow costs to the
Equity Exchange on the grounds that
the sovereign powers of the state are
reserved and therefore no cost could
be taxed against it.
The more some. men talk the more
trouble they pile up for themselves.

JOHNSON SHIPS
MANY DATE PALMS

Bernard Johnson, date planter of
the Valley, yesterday shipped seven
ty-one date palms of bearing age to
c. f. Cook of Indio, also planter
of dates, this being the first shipment
of date palms of any size from the
Yuma Project.
The palms are of the Deglet Moor
variety and were grown from import
ed offshoots placed in the orchard of
Mr.. Johnson three years ago. They
were imported by him from Africa
and their size and healthy appearance
were evidence of the value of the Pro-
ject as a date growing region. The
palms created much favorable COM
ment as they were being hauled
through the streets to the station.
Many of them were in bloom and all
We're bearing offshoots, having an
average of ten to each tree.
The price. paid for these trees was
$50 each, on board the cars at Yuma
There were about enough palms to
plant one and one-half acres of
ground, at which figme--a most rea-
sonable price at the present time
the trees on an acre OF three-year-o
date plantation are worth $500, to
say nothing of the value of the land
