JOHN|SON'S FUND
ECREATLYC CUT
cathro Must Pay Up, Or At
torney Generals Office
Will Suffer.
(Herald Special service)

MA, $50.
Bismarck, Feb. 2.-If F. w. Cathrc
former manager Of the Bank of NORTH
Dakota, ia not compelled to turn over
the balance Of v $500 in the
Lemke fund to be used In paying bills
incurred in the Lemke railroad rate
cases, the expense incurred win have
to be paid by the attorney general.
department.
This would reduce by several thou.
sand dollars the amount of money In
that fund. which must be drawn upon
for the general expenses Of the at
torney generals office, including the
expenses incurred in the trials Of
Townley and Hastings, and some ex-
pense If a grand Jury investigation OF
the affairs of the Scandinavian-Amer.
lean bank should be { held, or other
prosecutions started.
Whether. or not there is any desire
on the part of Mr.. Cathro and Mr.
Lemke to cripple, II they can, the al
torney generals department by refus-
ing to turn over the money is a mat.
ter Of, conjecture.
Johnson's Position.
II do not want any of this money
said Attorney General Sveinbjorn
Johnson, asked concerning future &C
ton to obtain the fund balance. Il
want it to be applied to paying ex-
penses Of the railroad rate case Of Mr..
Lemke-the purpose for which the
money was contributed" %
The money, the attorney general
says, was given for the specific pur-
pose of paying for the railroad rate
case fight, it being alleged by Mr..
Lemke that there were not sufficient
funds with which to fight the case. 1t
was learned last summer that money
was paid out of the regular depart
ment fund for this purpose, in spite
of the plea Of Mr.. Lemke last winter
that he had no funds for this purpose.
However. there are now unpaid bills
amounting to $4,000 and bills yet to
be submitted In the railroad rate case
probably will exceed $4,000. The last
bill was submitted by Karl Knox
Gartner. employed by Mr.. Lemke on
December 20. The "Lemke fund" bal
ance will be insufficient to pay the
entire expense of the case. and doubt
less Mr.. johnson will have to advance
money from his department fund ever
If all the "Lemke fund" Is turned over
for the purpose for which it vas Gre
ated.
Mr.. johnson said that if there was
any belief upon the part Of Mr. Cathro
that he desired the fund for his own
use or his departments use he was
quite willing to submit the entire mat
ter Of the fund, of Mr.. Cathro's taking
the fund from the Bank of North Da-
kota. and any other matters concern
ing it, to the courts. He does not want
to handle the money himself. A court
order placing the balance in the hands
of the state treasurer to be expended
in accordance with the original appeal
printed in the Courier-News would be
quite satisfactory to him.

To figure a fair rate from Buffalo
lance is about one-half that from Du-
luth to Buffalo. If we allow the ship
at much for making This distance,
part of which is through the Welland
canal and part Of which is through
the locks to be built on the st. Law
renee, as we do for coming down the
lakes from Duluth to Buffalo and
have a total freight charged (esti-
mated) from the Red River valley to
Liverpool via the st. Lawrence
amounting to $.2715, or an estimated
saving over the lake and rail haul
amounting to Sill per bushel. This
is equivalent to wiping out the At
lantic ocean. It amounts to putting
western Europe where New England
now stands. It puts the farmer Of the
middle west in a position wher he
can sell his goods on the market at
as low a freight cost as his compel
itors Of South America and Australia
and it places this saving in lowered
freight. cost per bushel in his pocket
where it belongs.
Needs Attention.
Right. now there is urgent need Of
attention to this pressing problem:
The matter is before congress, but
unless the farmers and business men
Of the middle west. and especially
Minnesota, are alive to their W In
terests which are the interests Of the
nation at large, favorable action at
this time may fail for lack Of atten-
ton. If. every farmer and business
man in Minnesota will urge upon his
congressman the importance of I'M

authorization Of the canal project will
be secured this winter. Even with

The Story of
Our States

~ four states
were added to the Union in that
year. In 1890 two more states
were admitted, the first Of which
was Idaho, so that during these
two years the manufacturer
must have been kept busy turn
ing out new flags with the prop
er number OF stars.
Idaho Is very mountainous and
the name is derived from the
Shoshone Indian word meaning
"gem of mountains"
The first white explorers were
undoubtedly Lewis and Clark on
their memorable trip in 1S0I-5.
Idaho was part Of Oregon
territory, which was Jointly oc-
cupled by British and Americans
until the Treaty of 1916 definite
ly turned over to the United
States the country south of the
49th parallel. In 1863 Idaho
was organized as a territory,
with an area three times the size
Of the present state, as It in
cluded Montana and part of
Wyoming. The next year Mon
tana was set off for a territory
by itself, and in 1868 Wyoming
was organized so that In 1890
when Idaho was admitted as
the fOrty-thlrd state of the I'm
ion, Its area was redoced to 49,
SSS square miles. Even so it
ranks as the eleventh state in
size.
The rapid settlement of Idaho
was due to the discovery Of gold,
the same cause which so rapidly
built up the adjacent states. 1t
was In 1882 that gold was found
at Occur d'Alene In the northern
part of the state, and miners I'm
mediately flocked to the state
In great numbers.
There was serious labor trou-
BILE In the Occur d'Alene sec
ton In 1892 and again in 1899,
when martial law was estab-
lished until peace between the
miners and mine owners was
effected.
Idaho Is fifth from the end In
the list Of states according to
population, and accordingly has
but four presidential electors.
But the state Is developing rap
idly.

a thousand women came to town as
delegates to some sort of talkfest,
and the citizens were asked to furnish
them with board and lodging during
their stay. These danes came to town
logged out In purple and fine linen and
bespangled with precious stones, and
most of them had money in every
pocket, yet not one Of them thought of
going TO hotel and paying her way
like little man. In the bunch were
the wives of bankers and laundrymen
and editors, and other notOrlOusly
wealthy citizens. and they were such
poor sports that they were willing to
accept handOut rather than loosen
up few bones at the caravansary.
"There were six of these female del
egates at our house. Aunt Julia goes
the limit when 1t comes to hospitality.
When she first heard that the women
of the town were expected to take care
of the delegates she said she would
take care Of two Of them. A day or
two later she sent word that she could
provide for four, and then she cOnclud-
ed she could handle six, and II she had

actually gave up her comfortable bed

She had been busy for days fixing up
things so the women would be comfort
able.
"You should have seen those six
women when they came dOwn for
breakfast the first morning they were
there. They looked as sour as though
they had just been given ten days on
the rockpile. They began grumbling
among themselves. taking care to talk
loud enough for Aunt Julia to hear.
One said she had always been used
to a good big pillow, and she couldn't
sleep on pillow the size of a pin
cushion. II strangers ever stayed
over night at her house, she said, they
would be given real pillows, and not
craven images.
Another old hag said the bed she
slept in kept her awake all night with
its creaklng and grOaning 1t evidently
needed olling. She didn't believe that
any woman with proper self-respect
would let a guest have such a bed.
Aunt Julia listened for a while, and
could hear her teeth grating like q

upstairs and gathered all the hand
bags and other traps belonging to those
beldames, and put them on the porch,
