 The water in the Tolovana river is said to be very low and the launch experienced great difficulty in ne- gotiating some of the bends. If the water in the river is found to be at a lower level than that expe- rienced on the present trip, it may become necessary to pack the Fair banks mail over the trail on the next trip and until the water per mits easier navigation.

MILLS, SOCIALIST
SPEAKER, UPHOLDS
TOWNLEY'S STORES

According to the latest available
statistics there r about 1900 million
people in the world, but, according to
Walter Thomas Mills. a Socialist
orator who spoke in the Grand the
alter yesterday afternoon under, the
auspices Of the National Nonpartisan
league. there are only 20 million
workers. These twenty millions are
only thirty days away from III bread
line. Mr.. Mills asserted. and he added
i~mpressively: God knows they need
more than they get for what they do
Mr.. Mills ~propounded the theory
that a farmer is not a landlord. A
landlord is a human being who does
not use his land. nor will allow any
n else to use it-before he has
used the user" -
Bankers and banking systems were
thereupon f1ayed by the speaker who
said that interest was not paying or
the use Of money. The first Liberty
loan. he said. used up all the money
in the world, and the second one used
up more than all the money in the
world. Mr.. Mills had figured outothat
people are paying $40 for every $1sac-
tually in existence.
The organization of Nonpartisan
league banks was described as a-nec-
essary ~precaution against the evils Of
the present banking system. and the
chain stores plan was also warmly
endorsed by the speaker who. how
ever, did not dwell or that phase Of
the plan which concerns the actual
advantages Of the stores Organization
to the farmers. Mr.. Mills. in fact,
avoided to discuss the revelations re-
Gently made which show that the
stockholder can expect no very great
returns on his investment.
The final part of the p]eroration was
an appeal to all good leaguerss to
stick. and to all non-leaguers to Join
the organization. That the league is
honest and paid its bills was the final
assertion made by Mr.. Mills. He did
not refer to A. C.. Townley in this con-
nection.

DAMAGE CASE
TO JURY TODAY
rossman Action will
be Completed Late This
Afternoon.

II Late today it was expected that the
case of Airs. Lena Rubin against
Samuel Grossman, who is being sued
before q jury in the district court for
damages amounting to 5000, would be
submitted to the jury. A vast mass
ofatestimony has been introduced and
a.44umber of witnesses heard.
The proceedings grew out of a fight
Eshich took place on May 90, 1917, on
second avenue. when. the defendant
, alleges. Mrs. Rubin. without any
ip~rovocation, called him. his wife and
children vile names and threw dirt in
his face when he protested.
Mr.. Grossman while OF the witness
stand this morning admitted that he
was real mad" and that he took a
six. feet long tin pipe and struck Mrs.
Rubin with it .in order to protect
myself and my family" he added.
Mrs. Rubin shortly after brought
suit for damages, but when it was
tried in justice court n before a jury
on a former occasion. the verdict re-
turned favored the defendant. There
trict court and this afternoon the
case will be completed.
Several witnesses have testified that
Mrs. Rubin apparently was rather
difficult to get along with. Mrs. B.
Starkman said on. the stand that she
had heard the vile names which Mrs.
Rubin had been hurting against the
bead Of the Grossman family, and B.
Sheard said that he also heard them.
En- addition to that. Mr.. Shear had
Witnessed the actual conflict and CAV
a graphic description Of the strategic
movements adopted by the opposing
camps while on the battle-ground. The
testimony of ]. Ray added further in
formation regarding the fighting.
Character witnesses were also called
by Attorney H. A. Libby, counsel for
the defendant. and they did their very
best to make it clear to the jury that
Mrs. Rubin was of a rather sensitive
disposition. X. Golden and d. Fisch-
bein have also been examined and
cross-examined:: and Mrs. Handle
mar a sister of Mrs. Rubin, has given
| her testimony. <:
This morning Mr.. Grossmah; APP.
the, allegation hat he struck Mrs.
Rubin with a tin pipe. but he pleaded
complete justification as it was, he
said, his duty to protect his family.
Furthermore, Mrs. Rubin a re-

and ears, as we'll as his hair.

NAVY HAS ENOUGH
MACHINIST MATES
FOR AVIATION CORPS

The local navy recruiting station
this morning received a telegram
from the Minneapolis station direct
ing that no more machinist mates be
enlisted for the aviation service. but
that efforts should be concentrated
upon the enlistment of quartermas-
ters for the aviation branch.
For enlistment as landsman for
quartermaster (which. by the way,
Is not clerical position). the re-
quirements are American citizenship,
intelligence and alertness as we'll as
a reputable character. No previous
trade experience is required, but gen.
,eral manual ability is expected.
Men of trades. such. for instance.
as rigging fabric working. wire
working, etc. are especially desirable.
Men experienced in the operation of
hydrogen plants OF in the care and
operation of balloons and %dirigibles
are. Of course. highly desirable.
AS soon as candidates have been
accepted at the local station and also
by the Minneapolis station. they will
be sent to Pensacola, Fla, for train
ing.

I'LL MADE
MISTAKE IN
81 10
HIS ADDRESS
Socialist Speaker Gave the
Wrong Impression of Log
an County, ILL.,, Farmers.

In his address It the Grand theater
on Friday afternoon Mr.. Mills, the
well-known Socialist lecturer, de-
scI1bed the horrible conditions exist
ing in Logan county, ILL.,, under the
tenant farmer system. The general
impression was created that practical
lySthe entire county was owned by
Scully. a foreign landlord. and that
under his ownership the tenants who
occupied his lands were kept in a con-
dition of abject poverty.
Before leaving the city Mr.. Mills re-
ceived a call from r. K. Miller. a To-
cal insurance man, who set Mr.. Mills
right on q number of points with ref
erence to the conditions in Illinois.
In discussing the subject further with
The Herald yesterday Mr.. Miller said:
~ was amazed at the statements
made by Mr.. Mills with reference to
Logan county. for they were absolute
ly contrary to the truth. l was raised
in Logan county,. and am thoroughly
familiar with the conditions there. l
know many of the Sculiy farms n
the tenants on them, n am familiar
with. The conditions under which the
land is operated, and the picture
which was. drawn of Logan county
conditions for the consumption OF
North Dakota farmers were as far
from the truth as are many OF the
pictures drawn in other localities Of
the conditions among the farmers of
Nprth Dakota.
I'm Logan county there is some Of
the fines farming land in Illinois.
which is saying a good deal. Mr..
Scully does not own the county, by
any means. He may w one per cent
Of the land. or two per cent-perhaps
more. 1 have not the figures. He
had large holdings. however. as he
owns a section mere and another there
In many of the townships. From my
knowledge of the country and the
conditions l should say that if the
Scully lands were placed OF the mar
ket they would sell for from 5000 to
$500 per acre. They are non the
most valuable lands in the county,
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1918-02-02
and their value is greatly enhanced
by the fact that they have been well

and their value is greatly enhanced
lby the fact that they have been well
farmed.
THE tenants on these farms r
tam0ng the most prosperous people In
that country. Under the arrangement
there h tenant pays a rental of Sc
to So per acre. That is for the use OF
LAND worth from 5000 to 5000. He
provides all his own stock and Inn
provements. That stock and those
improvements belong to him, and
when a n moves from a farm all
his permanent improvements are pur-
chased by his successor. The land
owner will not execute a new lease
until this condition is met.
This practice makes it certain that
these valuable lands will be occupied
only by men who are capable u
handling them properly, and the
reputation of the Scully farms is such
that when a tenant advertises h a he
is about to retire. and that his i'm
provements are for sale. there is keen
competition for the purchase of his
property and for the privilege of sue
ceeding him. Very often, on leaving
one of these farms. the n Is able
to sell his improvements at a good adj
vance over their original cost.

of them usually does so either to re-
tire from farming with a competence
or to buy a farm for himself where
land is less costly. Some of the ten
ants ave been on the same farms for
many years. and are rich. They pre-
fer to rem under h conditions Offer
ed than to own. as they can use their
money to better advantage in other
investments than in buying high
priced land. a relative of mine has
been in business at Harrisburg, ILL.,, in
the very heart of that territory, for
many years. and he knows all about
these "down-trodden'' tenant farm
ers. They are prosperous people, good
customers, and he never has any bad
debts among them.
"Mr. Scully. the owner of these
lands. has holdings in other parts of
the country as we'll. l have just hap
pened to meet a man from Beatrice,
tEeb., where Mr.. Scully also owns a
large acreage. and he tells me that
the conditions there are just as I
nave described those in Illinois.
Il am not advancing any theories or
preaching any doctrines. I am mere
ly stating facts which are within my
own personal knowledge. The farm
ers who ave beef described by Mr..
Mills as being in a state of poverty are
among the most prosperous in the
United States. If all of the alleged
facts which Mr.. Mills cites in support
of his %socialistic theories are as far
from the truth as his description of
the conditions in Logan county, Ill.,,
| wouldn't give much for his theories"
