q. Thirty-five hundred signatures to
the recall petitions were sent to head
quarters at Fargo yesterday we learn
That does not look much like the IN
dependents laying down on the JOB
does it? There are several petitions
now being circulated in Valley City
and many signatures are being secur-
ed. In the country districts the farm
ers are signing up better than the
town folks. That fact should start
a few Of these radicals to thinking.

Friday on fishing trip. The trip
was without incident excepting on the

the offending member was wrapped
with tire pc. The viking" Spirit
woods celebrated motor boat was
chartered to take the party around the
lake, but the engine had the epizootic
and after several fits of desultory
coughing it died, so the rubber-neck
tour had to be given up. 1t was then
proposed that Rev. Wilds go out and
catch enough fish for supper, but the
gentleman declined, saying that he had
not yet made preparations for his Sum-
day morning sermon. Mr.. Heidel and
Mr.. Nugent finally volunteered to go:
provided the rest of the party would
say on shore and dig bait. They
caught so many fish that they lost all
track of the number. They took Mr.:
Wilds along as lure to the fish, and
as a result they saw $50 more fish
than they were able to catch. In their
efforts to get look at Mr.. Wilds.
who was the first real good-looking
man seen on the lake this summer, the
fish would jump clear over the boat.
It was all very exciting. The return
home was via Spiritwood and the Red
Trail

We saw several farmers trying to
hire men this morning and the men
refused to go out for less than 81
per day and board. One fellow said
he wanted one dollar an hour for
threshing. There is plenty of work
for these men in the country and the
farmers are Offering sufficient COM
pensation for that work and if these
men refuse to 60 out it seems to us
Valley City should do the same as 9th
er towns are doing either make them
work or leave town. There are at
least 100 idle men here now.

While we have been listening to a
big noise about league ball games we
have overlooked couple of teams in
the city-the Teachers College bunch
and the Hinky Drinks, captained by
Chauncey Piculell. Now these two
teams played on the ball diamond last
night and the Hinky Drinks wallop,ed
the teachers and shut them out, the
score being IL to 0: 1t IS rumoreo
that Chauncey bought up the teach
ers in order to give his team chance
to make a killing, but this is strenu-
ously denied on his part, and the
teachers are not saying anything to
either confirm or deny the charge
We leave it to the public to size up
that score and then draw their own
conclusions.

the ATTEMPTED stealing of an automo-

tice I. J. Moe this morning. The men
had been claiming that they had been
drinking and did not know what they
were doing, but the fact that after
thew had been detected trying to steal
one car and had sobered up enough to
get under cover only to come PACK
and try it over again did not convince
the Judge that they: were dounk
enough so that they did. not know
what they were doing. The story did
not appeal to the court and he gave
them SO days each, saying at the same
time that perhaps after they had
served this time they would be sober
enough to think over these, matters

New Orleans, La.-Copies of re-.

Louisiana cut-over land from reforest.
Ing. Bulletin 827 of the Federal Blu

that "the ranges deteriorate rather
than improve so long as fire runs over
them annually" The bulletin, which
