STEELE MAN TO
TEST DEER LAW

Steele, N. D., Jan. 3.-Ira Nav of
Tappen, N. D., waived examination
Saturday when arraigned on charges
of shooting doe or female deer and
was bound over to the district court
for trial by Justice Olson. Game
Warden %. McGrath was the COM
planning witness.
Nav declares that, he followed the
statutes. He admitted shooting the
doe, claiming that the deer passed
him in the brush at point north of
Harmon and he made a lucky shot
downing the animal. There was no
chance to determine whether the deer
was buck or a doe.
He then asserts that he turned the
animal over to the nearest justice Of
the peace, acknowledging his viola
tion of the law and that he then pur-
chased the deer at the statutory auc-
tion conducted by the justice.
Game Warden McGrath insists that
such a method Of securing exonera-
tion from violation Of the law of
shooting female deer, is no longer in
force. Nav the defendant insisted
that he was within the law and the
case will be battled out in the dis
trict court. The animal was shot
November 25, we'll within the deer
hunting season. The minimum fine is
500 and the maximum fine 5000.

NO TAX LIMIT
: ON THE COUNTY'S
TUITION FUND

The tax Limitation law of 1919 was
construed by the supreme court to
have no application as tax limit
alton statute to taxes levied for the
county tuition fund for the support
Of the public schools, by the supreme
court in an opinion handed down
today.
The case, instituted by James C.
Davis as agent of the president under
the-transportation act, came from
Pierce county, where the Great
Northern Railway company had paid
$931.97 taxes in 1919 under protest,
alleging that the tax for the county
tuition fund was 80 mills in ex-
cess of the limit of the laws for the
year 1919 as fixed by the legislature.
The tax objected to was levied on
the rate Of one mill on the dollar
of assessed valuation.
The decision of the court, uphold
ing the position Of the officials Of
Pierce county, was delivered by Chief
Justice Birdzell.

Zuger Says

The 35 percent increase. in water
rates ordered by federal court con.
tinues until the injunctional order
issued against the railroad commits
sion, when the raise was granted, is
changed, in the opinion of Alfred

why the valuations should not be

Chairman Milhollan Of the railroad
commission was of the opinion that
the commissions order would stand.

vided that the 35 percent increase
should be effective until the railroad
commission held hearing to deter
mine valuation and rates. Mr..

pass on the reasonableness of the
commissions rulings.

ter helping Albin Hedstrom, incom-

the distinction of being elected sher-

100000 Bushels, Report
ORDERLY MARKETING
Report of Association Claims
That Car Shortage Helps
The Situation

Grand Forks, Jan. 3.-Over one
million five hundred thousand bu.
shels of wheat have been delivered
to the North Dakota Wheat Growers
association for sale, according to a
| report of R. L. Taft, cashier. OF
this amount only about 100000 bu-
sheis have been sold. 1t is expected
that the pool this year will pass the
five million mark. The organiza-
tion has been forthcoming as a sales
agency since August Is. 81,
According to our orderly plan Of
marketing We should sell about 5OO.-
900 bushels per month, according to
the probable size of our pool, but due
to the acute car shortage we have
not been able to maintain this pro.
portion" Mr.. Taft stated. "This.
however, in view of the increasing
strength of the market which many
predict will continue to be bullish
on account of the admitted world
shortage of $50 million bushels, we
regard as most fortunate. 1t will
mean that the bulk of our grain will
hit the high points of the market
and this will be benefit that all
our members can share in for all
get the average price for the variety
and grade delivered"
"The market has been unusually
stable this fall, and we are prone to
attribute it to the orderly market
ing of this years crop. ], This was
caused partly by the car shortage,
but largely through the efforts of
the wheat growers. Unheard Of
premiums have been paid this season
especially on the durum wheats which
formerly sold at flat cash psicc:a''
According to Mr.. Taft's report,
fifty cars of No. 4 dark northern
spring brought an average premium
of IA cents; the sales of all grades
of amber durum brought an aver
age of liz cents, while the other
grades brought premiums in pro-
portion.
For Cooperative Marketing
A. T. Fortney, manager of the
Fortney and Johnson Elevator COM
pany of Bowden, N. D., while in this
city recently comforting with offici-
ais of the North Dakota Wheat
Growers association, stated that the
cooperate marketing of wheat by the
association should prove a boon to
Independent and farmers elevators.
"This year our elevator has not
bushel of grain but
we have dealt exclusively in pooled |
wheat" Mr.. Fortney states. 1T has
been gratifying to US to be relieved |
Of the hazards of buying and we Of
ten didn't know if the balance would |
be on the right side of the balance
sheet at the end of the year. This |
year we have run 100000 bushels of |
pooled wheat through our house,
and our services have been paid for
BY the association, which has assum-
ed the responsibility Of merchan-
1ising this grain. This is the only
service that the local elevator should
,e asked to do, for it is very diff
cult for local manager to sell grain
20 the best advantage at points hu-
lreds of miles away. On the other
1and, the association is in a much
better position to meet the keen
in the grain trade. 1t
