improper. Payment of the witness
was the only question raised in the
appeal.

tention to return to the property.
The case was appealed from the

plaintiff.
In the case Of Golden Valley VS..

TRUCK DRIVING
LAWS TESTED

Arrest and conviction Of five Dew
lis Lake truck line operators on
charges of violating the state law
designed to regulate their business
represents the first effort OF the
state railroad board to cause en-
forcement of the law, it was said by
railroad board officials here today.
Some trouble in obtaining law OBJ
servance by the truck operators has
been experienced by the railroad
board and more is expected in the
future.
In some cases, it was pointed out,
states attorneys are reluctant to
bring charges against the law vio-
lators, even though the operation OF
unlicensed trucks is an imposition
upon the public. Under the law the
railroad board calls attention Of
states attorneys to violations and
it is then up to local officials to
prosecute the case.
The difficulty lies, railroad board
members admit frankly, not so much
in the unwillingness of truck oper-
ators to obey the law but in the cost
Of obeying the law. The license fee
is only a nominal amount but each
truck operator also must carry lia-
bility and cargo insurance, and in
some cases this is expensive.
The intent of the law, it was ex-
planned, is to protect the public
against loss or damage to goods
through the operation of irrespons-
ible truck operators.

second baseman for st. Louis at one

Plentywood defeated John DON
aldson's Melrose team three games
in a four-game series a short time
ago, knocking the famous colored
pitcher out of the box in the fourth
inning of the only game he pitched,
the letter says. Plentywood also
recently defeated the Sioux City. Ia,
club at Breckenridge 5 to 4. The

ELEVATOR MEN
AWAIT GRAINS
1900 Licensed Terminals in
State Ready to Handle
Big Crop

When the golden grain begins ar
irving at North Dakota elevators
within the next few weeks the ele-
vator operators will be ready to take
care Of it.
That is the conclusion Of men,
bers of the state railroad board who
have been checking up on the 1890
licensed elevators in North Dakota.
Reports to the railroad board in
dictate that all elevator men have
been getting their plants in shape
to handle a near record breaking
grain production. Machinery is be-
ing repaired and other improvements
made so tina. breakdowns in machin-
cry will be few during the rush sea-
son.
Confidence that plenty of trans
portation facilities will be avail
able to move the crop is expressed
by the board. The member. base
this confidence on the record of the
last few years during which nc
trouble has been experienced and
embargoes have been few and OF
short duration.
The main concern of the railroad
board now is that all elevators have
proper licenses and bonds before the
rush begins. The law requires then
to have licenses as of August l anc
to post bonds Of $4,000 each. A
storage tickets are issued additiona
bonds are required to cover the
amount Of the storage ti,kets. Ele
vator managers are required to file
sworn statements monthly showing
the amount Of grain on hand, stor
age tickets outstanding and Other
pertinent information.
In order to facilitate the work o.
checking the elevators before the Ii
censes are issued the railroad boart
this year has required all elevators
to file lists Of holders of outstand
ing storage tickets as Of June 80
last.

CHRISTMAS NONSENSE!

BY William Siever
They went to sea in Christmas
Tree,
And merrily sailed away;
One was a Portable Porcupine.
And one was Pig with Bottle Of
Wine.
And one was a Popinjay.
They sailed and sailed til the dark
ness tell,
with a yell:
THE darkness falls.
Get your Shetland ShaWls,
And come under my umberell."
And soon the sea grew black as ink.
And the Popinjay cried: Were 60
ing to sink.
Our heavy freight
Makes too much weight,
We're setting down, | Think"
Dear Sir" said the Pig, with a
smiling irown.
"Chcer up, for we are not going
down.
But it seems to me
That our Christmas Tree
Is heavier than ii ought to BET
And I've plan
by which we can
From danger set it free.
OF course. we can easily keep
atloat,
If we find some way to tighten our
boat.
And then that prompt and practical

And now. you see said the

"Our Christmas Tree Boat is very

And every one said: "Oh! Don't
