maps and sketches Of the most
important parts Of the great

were the kind of maps an expert
makes for his government.
Then we knew what Wada
was, or at least we were morally
convinced. He was secret agent
of the Japanese government. The
maps were covered in spots with
writing in not only Japanese. but
in English written in beautiful
symmetrical hand. You may be
sure they are In Tokyo's archives.

but a hesitant and careful talker.
Strangest of all. he had six

informed me he was going into

a surprise to me. and I wondered
what he was up to. with those

We do not known where the fault
lies but Ex-Gov. Joseph M. Devine
was supposed to speak at Sanborn
Saturday night and few democrats
and republicans of this city drove up
to Sanborn to hear him. When they
got there it was found that no ar
engagements for Mr.. Devine had beer
made for him to speak and the
Sanbon people did not even know he
was billed there for that night so
they were not to blame. Mr.. Devine
jumped on No. 8 and went back to
Fargo. Wherever the fault may be
it is mighty poor way to use not
only the town but the speaker. There
should be better system of looking
after these matters.
