REGIMENT MAN
BACK IN TRACES
Major Harold Sorenson Becomes
First Assistant to Adult ~
.. ant General

Major Harold SorcnsCn Of Fargo,
who shares With Aljutant General
Fraser the honor Of having been &C
tive in North Dakota national guard
affairs for more than a quarter of g
century, reported at the capitol yes
terday for his new post as assistant
adjutant general, to which he was ap-
pointed by General Fraser last week.
Major Sorenson Joined the First
North Dakota in 1894, fought with it
through the Philippine campaign, the
Mexican border campaign and the
worlds war, and is now in a position
where he can play an important part
in the re organization Of this famous
old command, which ranks SO high
in the esteem OF every North Dakota
man who ever has served with it.
General Fraser reports that Flick
ertai towns which formerly hal COM
panics IN the Fighting First arc max
ing good progress with the reOrgan-
iZation OF their units. A minimum OF
1G0 men is required, and several OF
the cities hope to have reached this
goal before the end Of the month.
Should any Of the old towns fail down
within Il reasonable time, its company
will be assigned to some other point,
but there is no indication as yet that
this will be necessary.

NORTH DAKOTA IS

State Now Has 100000 in Gen

H.. urer Olson

North Dakota, after having been
dangerously near stony broke for sew
eral months, now has $lC0,G0O in its
general fnnd, reports State Treasurer
Olson. This amount, says Mr.. Olson
is $20A, Gao in excess Of the balance or
last year. II is largely the result of
the Standard Oil Co.'S payment OF
100000 in taxes which it protested
until the recent special session so
changed the oil tax act as to place
the trust" on the same basis with
the independents. This means a saw
ing OF three-fourths Of a cent per
gallon to the company, which under
the original act was assessed one cent
per gallon en- gasoline, while the in"
dependents paid but One-fourth cent.

yes crday, amounting to $4,500. The
amount levied for this year the first
of the operation of the states new
semi-compulsory hail tax law, is 3d.
500. .GOO of which the state treasurer
expects $l,000,G00 to be paid in Feb
r,lary. Warrants have already been
drawn against this fund, in which ap-
proximately 1860 farmers will par
ticipate, and farmers in immediate
need of funds have discounted these
warrants, which bear six percent, at
their local banks or through the Bank
of North Dakota.

MONTANA KILLED
1000 WOLVES IN.
THE LAST YEAR

According to, the inspectors state
ment. approximately 1900 predatory
animals were destroyed in Montana
the past fiscal year. An average force
Of II federal hunters was on duty. Due
to the war little campaigning was dOlt
early in the year. Nest of the work
was done by trapping, although shoot
ing and poisoning sometimes was re
sorted to. Bait consists Of prairie dogs.
sophcrS squirrels and rabbits. Ap-
'proXimatcly $4,000 was spent. Mr..
Gillin.s said, and returns from tn"
furs were about sc 600. He estimated
about so per cent of the animals were
taken when the fur was not in good
condition. In this connection, the in
spcctor said furs generally are in goO,:
salcabIe condition only from Scptcm-
Der TO March or April.
In North Dakota there are now four
state hunters and an equal number
of federal men, while in Montana but
six federal hunters are at work. Mr.
GillingS said about 80 were relieved
in the latter state in July due to re-
duccd appropriations. He plans to put
on 20 additional men in North Dakot
in the next two months under the
county cooperative plan. The fedora!
men detailed will be in proportion t."
the hunters authorized by the state
and counties.

Assistant Attorney General Packard

percent of the taxes assessed against
them in North Dakota in 1917 and
1918. The sum involved is. s2,5Oo,C0o.

trollers was taken at st. Paul before
Miss Neiman, special examiner ap.

valuations entered, and then the trial
will move to Chicago, f'he!e evidence

Milwaukee & St.~Paul will be taken
February 2 and 8. That is expected
to be the final cleanup of litigation
which has dragged for two years

STARTS
NEW PARTY; NOT
0.P,CANDlDATE
Withdrawal of Governor From
Race Thought to Help
Hiram Johnson
SOON TO VISIT DAKOTA

Lynn j. Frazier does not intend to
become a candidate in North Dakota
or elsewhere for the republican nom.
nation for president Of the United
States. Instead North DakOta's gov
crn0r's managers arc organizing
new party all Of their own to be
known as the Peoples, party, and
Lynn j. Frazier for governor is the
first plank in the platform of this Pco
Pies party. This is the dope as vouch-
ed for by an astute league politician
at the capitol. .
The Peoples party at this moment
consists OF one Martin +. Blank, for
merry editor Of Erinton newspapers
and corps OF office assistants at
Fargo, but Mr.. Blank states that the
organization is to be made nation
wide, and that it intends tosseek in
every state an atfiliation of organized
labor and organized farmers. The facl
that the movement is launched by a
man who has been on the league pay
roll for some time past might indicate
that it Is not entirely spontaneous,
but Mr.. Blank anticipates this argu
ment with declaration that Mr..
TOwnley AMI the Nonpartisan league
haven't Il thing to do with the pco'
ple's party. He intimates that the
Peoples party will not actually 60 out
and fight the league, however, hul
that instead it will endeavor to tell
the citizens OF other states what a
whale of SUCCESS the league has hecn
in North Dakota.
MAKES JOHNSON GOOD
The most important fact in conncc-
ticn with this news, il true, is that
Frazier's stepping down and out or
the republican race will leave the
North Dakota field very largely open
to Senator Hiram w. Johnson OF Cal
ifOrnia, at least SO far as the prosrcs-
sive radical section Of the republican
party is concerned. Johnso's friends
have even learned with horror that
the league managers are seriously con-
siderng endorsing his candidacy for
the republican nomination, and they
are said to be doing their. utmost to
stave off this tactical calamity.
Dorr H. Carroll of Minot, state
chairman of the progressives, was in
Bismarck few days ago in close con-
ference with the governor. What Mr..
Carrolrs object was cannot be learn.
ed, but it is thought to have had
something TO do with Frazier's pres
idential aspirations. 1t is generally
believed that former Bull Moosers
who have not switched entirely to the.
leaeu will be for Johnson to man.
Johnson as Teddy's running mate was
almost as popular eight years ago as
the Rough Rider himself, and IL is
said that his attitude toward the rea2e
treaty, the war and world affairs IN
general have not cost him any favor in
North Dakota. -a
Johnson is now in California and it
is not probable that he will visit
North Dakota en- route east, as hau
been expected He has promised
North Dakota friend, however, that
as soon as the peace treaty is dispGs'
ed of he will come to the Flickertall
state and reveal his innermost
thoughts in connection with this doc
umcnt. ...
