STOLEN CAR FOUND IN
DESERTED COAL SHED
Thieves Pick Out Clever Place to Sc
cret Earl Scribner's Car-Work
Done by Local Gang.

Earl Scribner's Ford car, which was
stolen about two weeks ago, was found
in an unused coal shed, at the old Nc
Clure coal yards, Monday, by Ira
Jones, of the Pioneer Fuel Co., who
has rented the sheds. The door of the
shed was closed and as the place had
not been. used for a year, the thieves
evidently thot they would secret the
car until the owner had given up hopes
of finding it, later taking it from it's
place of secretion.
A car belonging to a Granville
butcher, which was stolen at Velva
recently, was located near the Chas.
Taylor farm south of Minot. Mr.. Tay-
lor phoned the officers, giving the
number of the car, and said it had
stood near his farm for several days.
By the time the sheriff arrived at the
farm, the thief had evidently gotten
wise, for the car had been driven
away. These cars were evidently stol-
en- by local gang that may have been
broken up in the arrest of two men
and three lads last week

CANNINGTON MANOR, GHOST
CITY OF SASKATCHEWAN
Minot Folks Who Journey to Fish
Lake Will BE Interested in this
Tale of the Early Days.

Minot folks, many of whom motor
to Fish Lake and Lake Carlyle in
Saskatchewan, 165 miles to the north
Of us, each summer, will be interest
ed in hearing about the deserted town
of Cannington Manor, located just six
miles north of Manor, Sask., the last
town thru which the motorists pass,
enroute to Fish Lake.
Cannington Manor was once a pros
porous little city, about the size Of
Berthold, N. D., and for years it was
the headquarters for one Of the richest
ranching sections of Saskatchewan.
When the railroad passed thru to the
south good many years ago, the in
habitants pulled up stakes and many
Of them moved to the town of Manor.
The buildings in Cannington Manor
were constructed mainly Of logs and it
was not practical to move them, so
they were left and many of them
still stand. There isn't resident left
in the town. For a year or two. a
trapper remained in the town but the
solitude became unbearable and he
too left.
During the palmy days of Canning
ton Manor, three Beckton brothers,
remittance men from England, came to
the town with an income of $4,000 a
year each, and proceeded to spend it
as rapidly as possible. They bot
ranch mile east of town, built I,
three-story mansion of native rocks
and each Saturday night their numer-
Gus friends would gather to play cards !,
and drink at the expense of their gen.
erous hosts. Beckton Bros. maintain /
ed racing stables and built a race
track on their farm. They lost great
deal of money betting. They built
separate houses for their Jockeys and
their racing stables had glass rooms .
for the harness. i,
Their bills with the Cannington Ma
nor bars were large. Should they Wis.,
it the town and fail to appear at the
saloons, the bar tenders would charge
them with the drinks just the same
One of the brothers had not been in
town for several days and he called
at the bar. He was presented with a
bill for $1,000 which he promptly paid
The old Beckton mansion stands de-
serted just as the brothers left it when
they. departed, after having spent all
OF their money in riotous living.
Old timers like to talk about the
early days of Cannington Manor. There
was once flourishing flour mill in the
town and the flour took prize at the
Chicago Worlds Fair.

Mr.. Bacon caught the largest North
ern pike that has been taken out of
the lake this season. It was 46 inches
long and weighed "a pounds and IA
ounces. Mr.. Bacon and Rev. Erickson
were fishing from a boat at the time
and Mr.. Erickson pulled the fish into
the boat after Bacon had gotten it
onto his line The fish was taken to
Park Rapids where it was entered in
the prize contest, so the Minot fisher
man is apt to get his picture and
that of the fish in some outing maya

the other fishermen off the walk when
he returns to Minot. Bacon, states
that he intends to have the pole gilded
and will present it to Mrs. Erickson.

him, he energies a lay figure, compounded
of all the nastiness of which only human
nature In extenso and not in individuo
is capable. An individual so utterly in
human as Strickland would die of his
own nastiness. Realism that fails to re-
late Is worse than romanticism run to
seed. The latter betrays no one, but the
former is an outrage on our common
humanity.
Life denuded of its conventions and the
vital lies which make it lovable as well
as ivable is both brutal and immoral
But nature, to say nothing of society,
would have to suppress so unnatural
iend as Charles Strickland Art and
genius are hard taskmasters and no
doubt play havoc with our accepted
standards, but if they are Humankind if
they are not they have no significance
for us-must respect the natural decen-
cies, not to say pieties lin the old Roman
sense) of human nature, if they are in
tended for our guidance. 1t seems to me
a lamentable failure in book so stuffed
with wit and wisdom, so respondent with
fine characterizations, where tragedy
treads so close upon human foibles, that
the central figure of the book should
leave us not merely with supreme dis
gust for the workings Of genius but with
positive disbelief in the ultimate worth
Of art itself.
No matter what additional merits a
book may have, no novel which under
mines faith in the fundamental goodness
of human nature deserves the intem-
perate praise, the unqualified acclaim
which have marked the American ap-
pearance of The Noon and lSirpence.

there are two things about the new
Vaughan novel which we cannot resolve
for ourselves.
The Noon and Sirpence is unques-
tionably piquans title and we have long
since passed the stage where we look for
an obvious connection between book and
its title. But some relation, surely, however
reconcile, there must be- In this instance
we must confess both the moon and the

Again, we are somewhat at loss to
account for the unanimous eommendation
with winch the professional reviewers
have greeted this extraordinary novel.
Where the critics are a unit in assessing
merit the public blindly follows, but the
judicious are more wary. The Moox and
Sirpenee is beyond cavil an unusual per-
formanee and an arresting book. But not,
l venture 1 think, on the grounds sup
piled by Broun, N. P. D., ct ali.
Charles Strickland is a monster, not a
man. While Mr.. Vaughan has put US
all under his debt by the courage of his
realism in presenting genius as neither
heroic nor beautiful in a conventional
sense, still We cannot accept his hero as

nation could acquire sovereignty over
great tracts of the ocean outside con-
tiguous territorial waters has long since
become obsolete. There was, therefore,
no occasion to protest against any pos
sible claim Of that sort. The President
recognizes the propriety of certain cove
nants between nations which limit the free
dom of the sea, more or less, in time of
peace ;A-such, for example, as fishery
agreements, conventions to regulate or
prevent the sale of intoxicants at sea,
and arrangements for the suppression of
the slave trade. Otherwise, absolute
freedom of navigation exists every
where"
This being the case, Sir Thomas Bar
clay asks whether the President can pos
sibly have in mind the German contention
that there is no real freedom Of the sea
unless independent coaling stations are
available for the use Of every nation hav-
ing a considerable merchant marine.
"Does he mean that the power to close the
Mediterranean or the Suez Canal or the
Panama Canal or the Dardanelles are
restrictions on the freedom of navigation7
Does he mean any or all of these?"
Assuming that President Wilson means
them all, Sir Thomas Barclay declares
that 1t is not an unreasonable contention
that a maritime nation should enjoy ia
cilities for coaling its steamers without
recourse to foreign air or exposure to for
eign interference. He agrees with the
President that the Dardanelles SHOULD be
permanently opened as free passage to
the ships and commerce of all nations I'M

the guarantees were physically effective,
such as would be insured by tie presence

sion sitting permanently on the spot. As
to the proposal to internationalize the
Suez and Panama Canals, he thinks there
is great deal to be said IN favor of the
suggestion. The idea is that ttrry should
never be liable to be closed against any one
but should be as free for traffic as the
ocean itself. Inasmuch as they are al
ready supposed to be open to all the

at is practically an island and as been
for over two hundred years British pos
session. Its importance for most nations
is that possession of it should not be
abused. England has exercised her pos
session in keeping the Straits open. Can
any other State be trusted to conduct
itself better?" Certainly the United
States has no reason to prefer any other
custodian.
Sir Thomas Barclay deems it unlikely
that President Wilson's secord command
ment was drive at what is called eng
lands Mastery of the Sea-; inasmuch as
that mastery has never beer exercised in
time of peace adversely to the interests of
any self-respecting States. "England's su-
premacy at sea has no reference to OBJ
jects of conquest or coercion, but is nee
essary consequence Of her Island position
and the insufficiency of her .,ossi.le food
supply to meet The requirements of pop
ulation far exceeding any prospective in
crease of such food supply from domestic
sources" All the old ideas of exercising
dominion over any area of the sea are
truly declared to be dead and no one
knows this better than President Wilson.

as Imported Articles


Havana. October ia manifesto is
sued tonight by the organizing committee
of the recently formed Cuban Sugar
Manufacturers and Planters association,
addressed to the American people and
press demands an open market for its
product.
The association protests against an at
tempt arbitrarily to restrict sugar prices,
and declares that if Cuba cannot obtain
adequate prices or is not given IAN am
pie margin of protection" decreased pro-
duction OF sugar automatically will take
place, thus preventing a serious danger
to all nations.
eve protest before the American peo-
pie in the friendlest spirit but with all
the firmness which the possibility of such
an injustice calls for, willing that our
claims be adjudged by the great national
which came to our rescue in cause of
justice and liberty and to whom we are
bound by ties of gratitude and affection
the manifesto says.
1.-THE cuban producers willingly agreed
during the war to the regulations sug-
gested by the United States, while real
izing that they were giving up an oppor-
tunity to obtain double prices in an open
market, even though general conditions
were unfavorable, with uncertain wage
conditions, scarcity of labor and increas-
ing labor and increasing cost of COM
modities.'
The manifesto complains that the Gu
han producers did not participate in the
s30.OOo0o0 reserve accumulated by the
sugar equalization board. and points out
that the increase in the price of sugar is
not in proportion to the increase in the
coStl of general articles of consumption
imported into Cuba.
