Just how far the non-partisan league Intends to go In its socialistic cam paign Is a question that cannot be answered. For example, Howard Wood, notv lieutenant-governor, told the writer that the league would go Just aa far aa the people wanted It to go. S. C. Slagerman of Bath Gate, a farmer and leaguer, declared that all the farmers want is the state mill and elevator. A league manager said, "that depends on the fight made on our programme by the Independent Voters' association. We may be goaded Into things that we don't anticipate now." This manager declined to be quoted few of them want to be quoted, for quotations get back, to headquarters. Flagrant Future Recorded. One of the most flagrant cases of failure so far recorded by the league is that seen in Its home-building campaign, which Is conducted by the Home Builders" association of North Makota. with a capital of $10,000,000 of state bonds, which have not yet been sold. But until the time when these bonds can be sold the legisla ture made an appropriation of Jion.000. While the association cannot be criticised for an entire failure to build all the houses that North Da kota might want, because the bonds have not been sold, still it must ac count for the conduct of the business which has the respectable capital of Jl 00,000 to begin with. So far only one house has been completed, a bungalow in Bismarck, which, whatever It may have cost, cannot under the terms of the law bo sold for more than $5000. be cause it is located in a city. A country residence may be built and sold for $10,000. Lots Sold at ton. How state purchasing works out where no bids are required and the management of affairs has auto cratic powers is further shown by the records of Cass county, the county in which Fargo is located. When the opposition papers goaded the league for the failure of the home-building campaign, and printed pictures of the one house, the league came right back in this manner: One day the manager of the home building association arrived In Far go. He bought from one David C. Andrews lots 4, G, 6, 7 and 10 in block 10 of Huntington's addition to Fargo, and paid for them $2500, or $500 a lot. On the same day. May 25. 1919. he purchased for the as sociation lots 8 and 9. for which he paid $1000, or $500 a lot. On October 6. 1919, lots 11 and 12 In this block 10 of Huntington's ad dition were sold by one Alex Stern for $370 for both lots, or about half the price that the state paid. But that is not all. In August. 1919, the records show that the state home building ' ssoclation transfered lots 8 and 9 to one Earl Andrews for $250. The state paid $1000 for them. As yet that is all that has trans pired in the home-building line, so far as I can learn. One house has been built and two lots sold at a net loss of $750. The association has a manager whose salary Is $5000 a year, and he, I am told by residents of Fargo, lives in a rented home. TRANSPORT RUHS ON BANK GIILIAT NORTHERN" SURVEYED A ITER BEING RELEASED.

The seines and traps are do ing practically nothing and the catches by trollers and purse seiners are exceptionally light. The best catches have been made by the gill netters in the channel above Tongue point, those operating in the lower harbor having little success. One reason is that the water is clear and the salmon are swimming deep until they get into the more narrow and more shallow channels above Tongue point. MASONS HOLD "BLUE LODGE" ON SUMMIT OF HUGE ROCK "Register of Desert" Contains Carved Names of Pioneers Who Passed Spot in Prairie Schooners as Far Back as 1832. GASPER, Wj'o., July 6: (Special.)

On July 4, 1862, a score of immigrants, bound for the Pacific Northwest over the Oregon trail, held an impromptu "blue lodge" session in the same depression in the mighty rock. At the conclusion of the session the Masons scrambled down the steep side of the rock to the point where the Oregon Trail marker had been unveil ed, and there Arthur K. Lee, grand master for Wyoming, unveiled a sec ond tablet on which is inscribed a brief history of the Masonic lodge ses sion held on the rock July 4, 1862. On July 4, 1862, three trains of im migrants bound for Oregon were camped at the base of Independence Rock. One of the trains brought the body of a man who had died during the day and the pioneers of the two othetstrains joined in the funeral ser vices held at the camping place.

Samuel Parker, a missionary to the Indians, left his inscription on the .granite. Father DeSmet, devoted and beloved Catholic worker among the savage inhabitants of the region, carved his name on the stone in 1840, and in his later writ ings gave to the rodk the poetic name by which it often is designated, "The Register of the Desert." In 1842 General Frecmont passed the rock while on his way to the Pacific Coast with Kit Carson as his guide, and both - left their inscriptions on the "register." But long antedating perhaps bv centuries the name of the first white man who passed that way were the "picture writings" of Indians with which great surfaces of the rock's sides are smeared.

Clay Crawford,, former instruc tor in athletics at the Hood River high school, who was recently ar rested in Minneapolis and returned here on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses from W. It. Bailey, principak of . the school. Allegations that .Air. Crawford had defrauded students and others out of about $1500, sent broadcast from here, proved an exaggeration on his re turn.

Young Glass, who had left for Juneau, Alas ka, has cabled that statements to the effect that he had accused Crawford of fraud were erroneous. In no other instance was it found that Mr. Crawford had obtained funds from students.
