Sixty-Seven Quarts
Booze Taken BY Police

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 14.-Sixty-
seven quarts of good five-year-old
whiskey, worth on the local market as
high as $670, was seized by the local
police authorities Saturday evening,
and Frank Kuntz, who is alleged to
have been the owner of the valuable
cargo was thrown into Jail to await
the pleasure Of U. S, District Attor-
ney Melvin Hildreth.
A few days ago, two innocent look
ing boxes, bearing the shipping card
of st. Paul Plumbing company, and
consigned as plumbers supplies" ar
rived at the North Dakota freight Of
flee here for Crank Kuntz." Shortly
thereafter a Bismarck sleuth chanced
to stroll into the freight house and he
detected a familiar odor. That odor
came from the 68th quart, it was dis
covered after the shipment had been
seized. But for the breaking of this
one bottle, the shipment, in all proba-
bility, would have reached it's ultimate
destination, and a number of Bis
marck men tonight would be lighter
of heart and purse.

The Value OF The
Weekly Newspaper

The power of the weekly paper is
one of the unhsputed developments
In journalism. The great dailies are
not great because they are thoroughly
read, but rather because they use up
lots Of ink and space. It's the week
" paper that gets the attentive au-
dience, including every member Of the
family because If its special stress up
on home news and home interests, at
tains the maximum Of reader-inter-
est. The twenty thousand weekly pa
pers in the United States are ever on
the side of the readers; their editors
and owners are personally responsible
to the people ana they cannot deviate
from the wishes Of the majority. This
is certainly not true Of the great dai-
,ly. In only few conspicuous instan-
ces do readers know their editors OF
who they are. The weekly papers are
the saving powe.. Of American jour
nalism because :hey are sincere and
are close to the people whose actual
wishes and thought they reflect.

Year 1917 Marked
Wonderful Epoch

The twelve nlonths that have just
reached a close with the end of 1917,
without comment will be noted as a
year Of more than passing importance
the history of this nation. A year
ago at this time the United States
was at peace with the whole world.
The army, of less than 100000 men
at that time, has now been increased
to a standing army of 100000 men
ready and eage'' to take the field at
their country's all. When the year
1917 was ushered in it was little thot
by anyone that before another New
Years Day arrived we should have be-
come adopts at food conservation, that
a selective military draft would be
enacted and given a ready and willing
response by the young men Of the
country; or ths.. within the year the
railroads Of the country would have
been taken over by the government
These are but a few of the important
events of this nations life that have
happened within the past year-and
which go to make 1917 one Of the
most interesting epochs in American
history of any age.

London, Jan. .5.-Another proof of
the German disregard of promises and
agreements has teen furnished in the
British advance toward Cambria.
Some time ago Germany signed SOL
emn agreement with Great Britain
providing that nc war prisoners woald
be employed with nineteen miles of
the front line. Eut two Russian pris-
oners were found by the British in
German dugouts at Anneux, which
was barely four miles from the lines
as they lay at the opening of the Cam
brai attack. Moreover, these Russians
had seen part.y of 800 to 400 British
prisoners at work near Cambria about
eight miles from the old lones.
The Russians told a pitiful story of
ill treatment and suffering. They had
to subsist, under German regulations,
on half pound of bread and some grass
soup daily. As punishment for MINOR
ocences they We're strung up to poles
with their feet just touching the

and only 260 men remained out of a
camp of 500 prisoners.

TOUCHDOWN | ! ! 1
RAIN ! |! SERVICE \ | VI

Drastic curta:lnent Of passenger
train service on branch lines Of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railroads, as wei! as other lines, will
result from government control Of the
railroads.
Louis Hill, president Of the Great
Northern, is authority for the state
ment that the .;.eat Northern had re-
ceived official advices that branch line
service must be limited to tri-
weekly mixed .assenger and freight
service.
The release Of equipment and men
for service in the country's gigantic
war transportation is the object
sought by the curtailment Of train
service the extent of which is indicat-
ed in the Associated Press dispatches
that tells Of 104 trains on the Penn
sylvania system being taken off today;
Traffic curtailnent in the northwest
will extend to ttanch lines, to which
it is expected luxurious service will be
partially or wholly eliminated.
The curtailment of branch line ser.
vice, if eventually established in ac.
cordanoe with Nj. Hills statement o1
Tuesday, means a radical change il
service in North Dakota, as most o1
the state is supplied by branch rail
roads.

His prosecution is the first unGer-
taken by the government officials

given to the soldiers but are being
sold to them and offered for sale or
the open market
Reports Of every such rumor, to-
gether with the name of the man Of
woman telling il as true, will be plac'

new RATES TAKE
EFFECT JAN. II
TRAFFIC COMMITTEE OF CON-
MERCIAL CLUB URGES CARS
BE UNLOADED PROMPTLY.

New demurrage rates on all rail-
roads will take effect next Monday,
according to an announcement by
Director General of Railroads, Nc
Adoo, practically doubling the rate Of
demurrage that has been assessed
heretofore. Letters will be sent to all
shippers in Grand Forks and the su--
rounding towns by the commercial
club, it was decided at a meeting Of
the traffic committee, urging that no
one in this section Of the country be
found on the alest Of those paying de-
murrage.
On account Of the extreme shortage
of cars of all kinds, the new denur-
rage rates were found necessary and
it is hoped that everything will be
done to unload cars promptly, so that
they can be used to move other ship
ments that are being delayed thru a
want of cars.
The first 48 hours are free of de-
murrage, beginning at the third day
with SO, and increasing 81 each day
until the tenth. Every succeeding day
after the tenth is to be assessed $40.
AT the office of the Northern Pa
cific it was stated yesterday that the
movement of freight cars has been go
ing on Systematically for some time
and that the result was highly pleas
ing. Formerly, cars sometimes had
to wait more than "a hours for an un-
loading, but now no more than IL
hours elapse between it's arrival and
it's unloading. During the entire
month Of December only one car was
held slightly beyond schedule time.
There is no congestion of cars in
the Northern Pacific yards, and the
movement is being facilitated only in
a normal way as there is no need OF
any extraordinary measures being
taken.
The statement given out at the To-
cal office of the Great Northern rail
way was to the same effect. No cars
are allowed to remain idle in the yard
and freight is moving at satisfac-
tory speed. Whatever congestion may
result here will be due to the inability
Of the east to absorb the car move

Grafton, N. d., Jan. 1O.-The coun-

ter the first meeting Of the year, last
ing a week. Much routine business
was disposed of. The board organiz-

chairman for the fourth consecutive
term. DR.. G. w. Glaspel, Of this city,
was appointed superintendent Of the
board Of health. to succeed Dr.. F. E..
Weed, Of Park River, who has joined

When the question Of official news
papers came up. there was scramble
for recognition. A delegation of Non
partisans were on hand to urge the
appointment Of their paper, the Park
River Gazette-News, but failed to get
it through.
That there was very preconceived
opposition to the Gazette-News is rot
known. Had such been the case, CO.
ercion and threats of political decap-
itation made against some Of the mem

list, was certainly rubbing the fur the
wrong way, now that the proposition
was forthwith "Spurlos Versenkt."

EVERY GERMAN NOW
IN 1EuT0N ARMY

Berne, Switzerland, Jan. 4.-(By
mail. )-German?'s supply of valid
men has cen completely taken over for
the army.
Boys of 16 l.2 years old are now
taken from their homes and schools
and sent to barracks for the years
drill and discipline they must have be-
fore they are sent in to the zone of
active operations. It is doubtful if
boys less than l8 ever reach the front
lines. They are. not stiff enough NOR
ally and mentally under that age to
stand the frightful gruelling of war
under modern conditions. Men are
taken for the ..rmy up to so. They
are taken between so and IS for some
forms of civilian service. Beyond IS
they are still free to die comfortably
in their beds of dysentery induced by
underfeeding OF pneumonia induced
by weakness plus chill.
It is practically impossible now for
a valid German to escape army SER
vice, although at the beginning Of the
war there was ali many embusques as
there were in France or England. The
man who evades service, or attempts
to deceive the government inspectors
is severely punished. And Germans
resident in other countries are obl,g-
ed to present themselves for milit: ry
service if it is possible for them to do
so.
Every German in the United States
today is due in the German army.
The time will come when he must ex-
plain to his imperial master why he
did not wear tie green gray of the
German army.
Germans in ,he United States will
be forgiven-or many of them will
because of the i'hpossibility of getting
to Germany across well guarded sea.
But here in Switzerland no such
protection avails them. have been
told of cases in which men have been
mulcted of all they possessed-or well
to do men who have been reduced to
penury because they refused to 60
back to Germany to do their military
service. The empire can only reach
property actually located in Germany,
of course. But these men can never
return to Germany except on proper
and we'll paid for permission.
It is quite clearly understood that
one of the sources of revenue Ger
many hopes to tap after the war is
the fat pocketbook af the Germans
resident in the United States and who
have been, paid good wages or made
rich profits during the period Of The
war. They must pay if ever they
] hope to go back. :
Those against whose names offense!
against German civil law stand charg.
ed must pay or fight extradition pro
ceedings, according to gossip here.
