The Ranteur

have friend who is a ranteur de
luxe. never see him but he has a
lot of whispering to do.
And when a whispering man gives
you an earful it is never a cheerful
earful.
He is always palpitating with Il
freshly acquired bit of horrible and
horrifying information about the
Jews. the Catholics, the Bolsheviki,
the I. w. W., the Negro, or the Jap.
Somebody is going to do something
awful to us ard we are going to let
them.
He can prove to you that the
Catholics were the cause of the late
war: that the Jews had planned the
war ten years ago and set the date
for the first gun; that the Japanese
are going to invade us Immediately,
through Mexico or Lower California;
that the Bolsheviki are all ready TO
rise, up and assume control: that the
Negroes are going to dominate the
country inside of very few years.
He also believes (can prove it by
scripture) the end of the world is at
hand.
This human sunbeam knows posi-
lively and can establish by statistics
that the religion of the world has
gone to pot; that Christianity is a
back number; that heathenism is our
portion in the immediate future; that
women are smoking the next gener-
alton into homes for the feeble
minded; that the young girls are all
losing their virtue in dancing: that
the boys are going to ruin as rapidly
as possible.
The world is headed for bankruptcy
and in few years not a particle Of
the currency Of any nation will be
worth the metal or the paper it is
stamped or printed upon.
After an hour with this sort of
creature, I want to hunt up some
body's large. wormful backyard and
begin eating.
What ! should do is to lead him
out to some lonely spot behind a tall
building near the woods. where his
cries could not be heard, and kill
him slowly and painfully.
He is an eXcrescence. n nuisance,
and worse, COMPOUNDED liar. For
not thing he says is true, and none
of his prophecies will ever be full
filled. Other misanthropic fools like
him have been saying the same
things through all generations

against the activities of certain fl
wardens, who from the experience o.
recent fishermen from this state, are
looking for fines more particularly
than for a reasonable enforcement Of
the fish law. A recent party of
fishermen from Stutsman county
and other parts of the state,
comprising some Is in number, were
hauled into the net of a fish warden
at Frazee, Minn., this week and on
various pretexts were sent to Detroit,
made to appear before the officials
and pay fines amounting to $14.45
for every alleged offense. Not one
Of the party, it is claimed, had in
tentionally violated the law or the
fish regulations.
One of the party was fined for not
having part of the license tag pinned
on to the fish, which were being

is claimed that this rule is necessary
but none of the party were aware
Of the fact, having their licenses in
their pockets. One man from Med

LISBON CROSSES s
BATS6:l5T0NlCHT

Lisbon will cross bats with Valley
City this evening at 6:15 on the local
diamond for the first game of the sea-
son between the two teams. Lisbon
comes here from Fargo where they
had three defeats .meted out to them
by the Fargo Athletics, the team
which Valley City defeated twice on
their field and then were shut out
when Fargo came here. Wingfield:
Valley City's first baseman last year,
is the head of the Lisbon aggregation
of swatters this year, and the club is
said to be developing into a strong
nine, despite defeats administered to
them by teams that have started out
a little stronger at the beginning OF
the season.
The game tonight starts at 6:15
O'Clock sharp, and will be the last
game on the local diamond until next
Sunday, when Jamestown comes here
to try conclusions with the local ag-
gregation.
The schedule for the rest of the
week is as follows:
June AT Fessenden.
June Sat Minot.~
June 9-At Minot.
June 10-At Fessenden.

LOSES 7 TO
0T0FARC0 TEAM

The Fargo Athletics blanked the
Valley City baseball team Thursday
by score of to 0.
Charley Boardman, the veteran of
many pitchers battles, was on the
mound for Fargo and Angel, did the
hurting for Valley City. Boardman
was working in rare form and only
three hits were secured off the Fargo
mound artist. His team started scor-
ing in the second inning when they
sent two men across the plate. They
sent another man across the pan in
the sixth and again in the seventh and
in the ninth three men saw fourth
base before the Valleyites could get
the third out.
The Fargo swatters pounded Angel
hard, and with only fair support be-
hind him, the Fargo team soon clinch-
ed the game. The Fargo team had
men on bases nearly every inning but
were unable to get a hit to bring
them in. Excellent fielding on the
part of the Fargo team spoiled many
nice hits secured off Boardman, who
proved almost invincible.
The winning of the game by Fargo
gives Valley City two wins and Fargo
one this season.
Wingfeld, who played first base for
Valley City last year was on the tlrst
sack for Fargo, and was the first man
to come across the plate after he had
been walked by being hit, and safe
hit brought him home.

COUNCIL ORDERS
OIL TANKS MOVED

The Standard Oil Company, Sin
clair Oil Co., Prairie Independent Oh
Co., and Northwestern Oil Co., must
move their oil tanks in the city to a
place where in event of an accident
there would be no danger to the resi-
Dental districts, following the action
Of the city council Monday evening
which acted favorably on a petition of
taxpayers Of the city whose resi-
dences are in the vicinity Of the tanks
asking that the tanks be movevd to a
asking that the tanks be moved to a
Gus to life or property. Colonel
Frame, representing the Northwestern
Oil Co., is out with a committee of
the city council today, attempting to
locate a site that will be satisfactory
to the public and company. The site
to be selected will perhaps be in the
western part of the city.
The council voted to give $100 to-
ward gravelling the road to Chautau-
qua park. The Commercial Club has
promised 5000 if the city would fur
nish the other $100. The city is to
enter into contract and see that the
work is done. The road this summer
has been in bad shape and repair
work will start at once before the
Chautauqua opens.
Following a recommendation by the
engineer of the University of North
Dakota, the council voted to sink
PIP inch screened iron curbings in the
city we'll. This will insure the city
an ample water supply, something
that has been worrying city officials
for some time, the supply being a long
ways from adequate. A test well was
sunk some time ago 20 feet below the
level of the present we'll, and all kinds
of water was found. The University
engineer told the city officials that if
two curbs like the ones ordered by the
council were sunk, the city would have
an indefinite supply of water.
The city is going half and half with
the county in the construction OF
road to run along the line between
sections 16 and FL, or from Fifth
avenue north to the section line rum
ming east and west from the Ellingson
farm to the sand pit near the Valley
City Fibre Co. It is planned to cut
out the road that now runs out past
where the old ball diamond was. The
work will begin at once, it is said.
It is understood that plans are being
laid to construct a road west along the
same section line next year, making
it a main highway instead Of the road
that now runs from the end of ninth
avenue in a northerly direction.
Signs will be erected at the city
tourists camp, and a gravel entrance
and exit constructed. There being no
other business of Importance the
council adjourned after allowing bills
and other routine business.

new POWER line
FROM JAMESTOWN

The proposition of the construction
of high voltage electric line north
from jamestown to take in towns
along the Northern Pacific as far as
New Rockford and along the 500 from
Wimbledon to Darlington is being con-
sidered, it is said. An application
was made last week to the board of
railroad commissioners by E. A. Cox,
formerly assistant attorney general
for authority for firm to sell stock
to the extent of ,S375, 900 in the cor
poration proposed to handle this GEN.
tral electric system. The railroad
commission has ordered a hearing on
the petition to be held at Jamestown
June Is and has asked that towns
interested one way or the other in the
proposed central line be at the meet
ing to express their opinion. If built
the line would furnish power to towns
along the lines proposed and also
farmers. The letter of explanation
sent out says in part:
"The system will be of high voltage
and constructed in such way as will
enable the company operating it, to
give sufficient light and power for all
purposes to which electricity can be
put, such as. power for grain eleva-
tors. feed and grist mills, fodder
cutting machines, and what is equally
important for electrical apparatus for
household use, such as cooking wash
ing churning, separating and many
other uses tending to Tighten farm and
household work.
"Will you be good .enought to give US
your opinion as to the possible sue of
this service both by yourself and your
neighbors. If the matter is of in
terest to you, will you not please dis
cuss it with your neighbors and try to
interest them to the extent of giving
heir views? ?"
