Pembina county editor says: "Tt
scrap this property at the behest Of
selfish individuals would be deplor-
able"
Commenting on the statement by a
group of Jamestown leaders con-
demning the removal effort, The
Valley City Times Record says OF the
situation in the Stutsman county
city:
Evidently there are only a
few wishing to bring about the
change of seat of government of
the state and these few may have
something more than an interest
in bringing the capitol to James,
town. Many people are wonder
ing what they are holding out
for. What price glory, we might
ask? Sentiment in the city Of
jamestown as we'll as in the state
is overwhelmingly against
change and when the vote is
counted this statement will be
substantiated. The fight is just
causing the business men and
citizens of Bismarck lot of
worry and great expense to retain
their institution at time when
expense should be cut down in
stead Of coming up. The people
OF the capital city are making a
clean fight and that sort of fight
Is going to win. Money is
rather scarce article these days,
but those Bismarckians are going
to give and give hard to retain
the state capitol. More power to
them and confusion to their
enemies"
Calls It a Joke
Down in Sioux county. the Pioneer
Arrow refers editorially to THE
jamestown joke and says Of it:
III the depression continues and
Jamestown is able to raise sufficient
money to buy up half of North Da-
kota'S votes, she may get small min
GRITTY" The same newspaper asserts
that Bismarck is the logical place
for the states seat of government"
and stresses the Importance to the
taxpayer of keeping it there.
The Fargo Forum reiterates its
condemnation Of the jamestown
movement, expressed last year. and
charges the proponents Of the move
ment with selfishness.
Down at Wahpeton the Richland
County Farmer printed an editorial
which was reproduced in full in the
Jamestown Sun as an expression sup
porting the removal movement. All
1t said was that jamestown had a
right to advocate the removal move
ment If 1t cared to do so but warned
the voters that they should be fair to
the western part of the state. It
could not properly be construed as
either supporting jamestown or as
being sympathetic to the removal
movement.
Il hope the roads are open on
election day." said F. M. Davis. chair
man of the Bismarck defense COM
mittee, In reviewing the situation
Wednesday. If the farmers are able
TO get to the polls to vote it will
materially increase Bismarck's mar
gin. AS far as I can find and from
reports received by the committee.
the country eolks of the state are
determined to defeat this attempt to
raise their taxes and, at the same
time, perpetrate an injustice upon the
state and its people,"

". Y. Stocks
By ELMER C. WALLER

NEW YORK, Dec. 6. = Wall
street received President Hoover's
message to congress with favor to-
day and stocks rose l to 5 points
in slightly increased turnover.
The list moved up after a firm
opening. Weakness in a few spe-
cial issues brought slight unsettle-
ment in the early afternoon. But
near the close the upturn was re-
sumed, leading issues making new
highs for the day.
Aside from the Presidents mes
sage there was little market news.
Ability of the list to rise in the
face of this weakness and in the
face of the defeat yesterday of the
repeal resolution brought in con-
siderable short covering. The bears
bought more heavily as the close
neared and tickers were running
almost at capacity.
According to preliminary calcu-
lation, the Dow-Jones g. Company
industrial average stood at $3.50,
up 3.06, railroad 26.81, up 2.22 and
utility 1859, up Ito.
Sales were 100000 shares, COM
pared with 100000 shares yester-
day.
Aggregate market value of 10
leading stocks was $5,308, 1903 ,O51

Hell D
IN BURGLARY

Suspicious of an Ell Centro po-
lice officer which were aroused by
a stolen automobile found aban-
doned and stripped near the East
Side school here had resulted today
in the arrest of two Mexicans and
one Negro and the clearing up OF
a burglary case reported to the
sheriff's office and relayed to police
last week.
l.. Porras, %, and j. A. PorraS, 81,
Mexican, and Steven AinsWorth, %,
Negro, are held at the county Jail
on a charge of burglarizing the res
idence of Ira Hoffman, mile
south of Ell Centro on the old Holt
vile highway.
Clothing stolen from the Hoff-
man place was found at the resi-
dence of j. A. Porras when Off
GERS Ben Cox, T. P. Farmer and R.
r. Voyles entered the PorraS house
on South First street last night on
search warrant sworn out by
Cox.
In addition to the articles known
to have been taken from the Hoff-
man dwelling, police found other
clothing and a set of sterling sill
yer marked with the initial "B".
Although these articles are be-
lieved to have been stolen, they
have not yet been identified.
When officers entered the Par
ras residence they were searching
for parts taken from stripped
automobile, stolen at Brawley and
abandoned on El Centro's east side.
Cox, patrolling the east side, had
noticed the trio in the car, but did
not know at the time it had been
stolen, he said.
The search for the automobile
parts proved fruitless but the sto-
len clothing resulted in the arrest
of the three men.

Fearing reprisals against citizens
who yesterday removed six striking
ranch hands from the Vacaville
