Hammond May Not Recover

Hammond May Not Recover
In the Bismarck Tribune of July
2Sth, the following is part Of a dis
patch from Washington:
Private Frank Hammond, formerly
of Valley City and Oakes. who was
wounded early in the Argonne fight,
is still in serious condition and his
recovery is extremely doubtful. Pri-
vate Hammond was wounded IA times
by bursting shrapnel and was forced
to remain upon the field for nearly
two days before receiving first aid.
In spite Of it all he has remained un-
complaining. With one leg of near
the knee and at least one more op'
Grafton between him and recovery
Hammond's case presents but one Of
many that continue to battle the sur
geons at Walter Reed although their
personnel represents some Of the best
talent in the profession.

BUILDING AN ADDITION

The Oakes Auto & Machine Com.
pany have started work for a new ad-
dition adjoining their present building
to the west. The former proprietor
had planned an addition here for a
show and sales room and had the
basement partly dug. The new build
ing will be Of brick 25x13O feet, with
basement 25xS0. At present it will be
but one story above ground.
The new addition will be used as a
sales and stock room. The sales room
will have beautiful tile floor and
will be finished in becoming style.
In addition to handling the Over
land line Of cars, this company has
added the Nash and the Buick. They
have the agency for the Nash in Dick
ey, Sargent and LaMoure counties.
]. w. Movius has withdrawn from
active management here, and has
taken over the lease of the Weston
building. The Buick cars will be han
died by him. He still retains his stock
in the Oakes Auto & Machine Com.
pany and will be interested in both
places.
Messrs. Movius and Ingstad, propri
etors of the Oakes Auto & Machine
Company, have been in Oakes but a
few months, but they see the field
here is good one and are merely
getting in shape to take care of the
expansion in their business.

should know exactly the facts in the
case and what the results have been
under actual practical farming condi-
tions.
The extension department at the
College has done and Is doing it's very
best to exterminate the grasshoppers
and much credit is due them for what
they have done. Owing to the expert
mental stage Of this work no very
large quantities of material to poison
grasshoppers was ordered for Dickey
county. We think, however, that there
will be enough material to supply
most Of the fax growers in this coun
ty. If a number Of farmers in the vi
cinity of Ludden or Cakes desire sup
plies to poison grasshoppers 1t might
be possible that we can ship some ol
the unused material from 4,lerricour1
or Forbes to these places.

next morning, the testimony says, the
charge was dismissed by the presid-

Nonpartisan Leader-The crowning
injustice Of the whole burlesque was
Judge Deans denial of Mr.. Townley's
constitutional right to address the
jury in his own behalf.
There is no such constitutional pro-
vision in Minnesota, and the record
shows that the state objected to
'Townley speaking upon the ground
that the two defendants. having been
Jointly indicted and Jointly tried, any
arguments made on behalf Of one
must necessarily be made on behalf Of
both, and that Townley. not being a
lawyer. had no right to plead the
cause Of Gilbert. The prAeecuting at-
torney further pointed out to the
court that Minnesota was practically
the only state in the Union where q
defendant was accorded the closing
argument, and that in this case

Ultimate Consumer Must Pay thu
cost-Prices May Raise to
$500 Per Ton

Bismarck, July 24-Lignite produc-
ers are threatening to shove the re-
tail price Of coal up a dollar because
of the burden placed upon them by
the workmen's compensation act, the
excess profits tax. corporation excise
law and other revenue measures
passed by the sixteenth assembly.
The Williston Coal e Ice Company,
employing twenty to twenty-five min
ers. has been assessed $1,869 by the
workmen's compensation fund. This
tax is declared excessive and more
than mine operators can bear by j. A.
Hussbye, president of the company.
N. B. Ludowese, president of the
Black Diamond Coal Company at Will
liston, has declared the tax exorbit-
ant and has asserted that he will re-
fuse to pay. It is said that the Wash
burn Ignite Company of Washburn,
the largest coal mining company in
the state, has been asked to contrib
ute $4,000 per annum to the work
mems compensation fund.
In addition to the various other
items of expense, Ignite mines claim
that the new mine inspection bill
framed after similar statutes in effect
in Illinois and other coal producing
states, IMPOSES a heavy burden On
them.
