reply to Delegate Sutherland. we quote:
 "You are informed that a re- cent report from the United States Attorney, made after a personal visit to Hyder, indi- cates that there is no good req son or need for the roadway; that there is nothing in the con- tentlon that 1t IS necessary for fire protection and to handle traffic within the town; that its construction would facilitate an already large dealing in lntoxi- eating liquor and other contra band across the border and that he concurs in the view of other government officials at Hyder that the roadway would inter- fere very much with law en- forcement at that point"
 Here are three statements that are absolutely at variance with the facts. There Is often a congestion of traffic atthe cor ner of Main and First streets and on Volunteer Dive through vehicles of all kinds being forced to turn around and leave the town over the same route by which they entered. There is only one escape in case of general conAagration, and were this blocked by fire all property on the piled area, and even lives would be endangered. There is no large dealing in intoxicat- ing liquor and other contraband across the border" In this re- spect Hyder challenges the re- cord of any other community in Alaska on a per centage ofpop- ulation basis. A district attor- ney should realize that such claim is silly unless it can be verified by the court records.
 This whole question sinners down to the plain fact that the District Attorney appears to de- sire favoring one corporation here at the expense of the rest of the population.

 of this division, together with l tle condemnation of their work
 by Delegate Sutherland and the l Republican organ of Juneau, ! p .iopt us to enquire who IS re- ] spoasible for these men and for l ,ntinuation of their official per- ! iormances.

 ,s the leader of the Republican 1 party in Alaska and therefore ! ,>e believe 1t to be incumbent ! ,a h;m to rectify present condit- ! jons. The final power in this matter is the Attorney General ot the United States and appeal should be made to him immed~ ;ately for full and complete h. .estigation.

GET YOUR HUNT
ING LICENSE
WITHOUT DELAY

A number of Ramsey county sports
men have already secured their hunt
ing licenses from County Auditir
Kramer, and additional applications
are coming in right along. The faster
they come in at this stage of the game
the better Mr.. Kramer likes it. Those
who file their applications now are
getting their permits by return mail,
or if they apply in person the per-
mits are written while they wait.
From past experience we know that
this won't be true with those fellows
who wait until the last day or two
before the hunting season opens.
There will be between 1900 and 5000
such permits to write, and they can
not all be written in one or two days.
If the application gets in late the ap-
plicant stands a very good chance of
not getting his lieence until after
the opening Of the. season. In order
to be on the safe side, and at the same
time save Auditor Kramer and his Of
flee force from getting grey hair it
it best to file the applications inn
mediately. The hunting season opens
on September 16, and the cost of the
license is $3.50 each.

for the Mutual Trust Life Insurance
Co. of Chicago, left last Monday for
Aneta, N. D., for the purpose of deli
vering draft to the beneficiaries of
Louis s. Lee, Of near that city, who
died last month. The deceased was
married and he'd three children. Three
years ago he took out life insurance
policy with Mr.. Shirley, and made two
payments on same. AS times were
hard owing to poor crops he gave Mr..
Shirley note in payment of the third
premium, and when this note became
due he was unable to meet same, so
Mr.. Shirley gave him an extension of
time. This extension had expired, but
Mr.. Lee still had 80 days of grace,
and in those 80 days he passed away.
The company did not contest the pay
ment of the policy, but Immediately

Mr.. Shirley draft for the full pay
ment Of the amount due on the con-

Employment Agency
Open Till Sept. LIST.

The United States employment
agency will continue to pay seven
special agents in North Dakota until
Sept. l, it was announced by George
Tucker, in charge of field forces of
service in the northwest, following a
conference between him and Governor
Nestos.
Tucker denied reports that the
withdrawal of the agents was request
ed, because of dissatisfaction or con-
flict with state employment officials,
stating that the withdrawal order was
given because he understood the state
service had sufficient organization to
handle the harvest help question, and
federal agents were needed elsewhere.
Governor Nestos said that whatever
difficulties may have been encounter
ed were only minor ones, and that he
was confident federal and state forces
could work together throughout the
harvest season.
This announcement will result in the
federal employment office in Devils
Lake in charge of Mike Noonan, re.
naming open at least till Sept. 1.

Three Injured When
Sedan Turns Turtle

Luther Elliott and Mr.. and Mrs.
Lee Whalen suffered severe injuries
when Elliotts. sedan turned turtle on
the road near Ernick ,Gunn's home,
northeast of town, Saturday night.
The road coming from the east ends
when it strikes the one going north
and south. Evidently the occupants
of the car failed to notice this, and
the car went straight across the road
into the ditch, turning completely over
so that the nose pointed up. Elliott
and Whalen were badly cut but will re
cover, Mrs. Whalen was unconscious
when removed from the car, but ply
sicians think she will live. The car
was almost completely wrecked.

Rapp Sells Five
Threshing Rigs

There will be at least ten new
threshing rigs operating in the vici-
nifty of Devils Lake during the COM
ing season, and possibly more, and
these will no doubt be able to handle
the extra amount of grain which will
necessarily have to be put through the
machines On account Of the big crop.
Whitkoff & Tollefson of six miles
north of the city yesterday took out
a 40 horse power gas tractor and a
30-inch separator of the Minneapolis
make which they purchased from the
Ramsey Implement Co., and Manager
D. j. Rapp tells US that he delivered
four complete Minneapolis rigs this
season before he did that one. More
threshing rigs have been sold in De-
wills Lake this season than had been
the case for some years.

Big Display of
Furs at New York
Store This Week

The largest and best display of furs
to come to Devils Lake this season will
be that to be shown by the New York
Cash Store on Friday and Saturday
of this week. It will be the McKibben
line, and will consist of the latest
1922-1923 styles made up from all the
most popular skins. The McKibben
line has for many years been by far
the best to be found in the north
west. Nothing but No. prime skins
are used in it's manufacture, and the
workmanship is perfect. The display is
worth seeing whether you are in
terested in buying a coat or fur at
the present time or not. Nothing bet
ter was ever shown in Devils Lake,
and the prices are gradually coming
down from the peak reached during
the war.

Cobb Co. Installs ~
Private Water
Pressure System

The R. E. Cobb Co., of this city is
this week installing private pressure
tank in order to supply all the water
needed at its plant in the future. Re-
Gently 80 #. well was drilled on the
Cobb site, and big supply of best
kind of water was provided. In the
past the plant has been using city
water for many purposes as passible,
but in it's churns and other places
where absolute cleanliness is neces-
sary city water could not be used, and
for this purpose water was hauled in
with tanks. This proved nuisance
all around. After the new outfit II
completed the Cobb plant will have
water of the purest kind in any =
mount desired. :
