possesses six quarter sections locat.
ed near the town of Sarles, has just
returned to Norman county, Mime
sofa. where she also has farm land
property. Mrs. Haugen states that
while at Ada, the county seat of
Norman county, she paid her taxes
on the lands that she owns there.
Her farm there is valued at $50 per
acre and the amount of her taxes on
each quarter section were $780, When
Mrs. Haugen came to Langdon to pay
her taxes on the land that she owns
in this county she found that the
amount was $135 per quarter see
tion, while the land was valued at
only about $50 per acre. The fact

Arrest of Hines in Winnipeg

of last Wednesday carried the story
of the issuing of warrant for the
arrest of D w. Hines. otherwis
known as Farmer" Hines, by the
proprietor of one of the hotels of
that city for attempting to beat a
board bill. Hines is supposed to
be located now at Liberty, Sask.
where he is credited with publishing
newspaper besides being proprietor
of an hotel and summer resort. 1t is
the sane David Wellington Hines
who attained notoriety, if not fame,
when he left the farm at Hannah to
exploit his idea of building far
mer's railroad to the head of the
lakes at Duluth. He had for some
days been in Winnipeg, preaching on
the streets his new doctrine of anti
prohibition. attempting to show that
the present liquor laws of Canada
are all wrong. Some of his talks
were given in one of the rooms of the
Board of Trade building, but he at
no time seemed to gather sympa-
thetic audience for his irrational
