GEORGE K. AIKEN.
FARGO, N. D., July 6. (Special.)
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.

with No. 2 northern deliverable at 2
cents less, and No. 3 at 7 cents under
the No. 1. or 5 cents below the No. 2.
Winter wheat is to be made deliver
able on contracts at Minneapolis at
5 cents under spring, with the pen
alty for the other grades on the same
basis.

Using Blackjack.
OREGON CTTY, Or., July 6. (Spe
cial.) D. McNabb, whose home is at
Albany, but who" has been working
in Oregon City for some time, was
arrested Saturday night on the charge
of assaulting a jitney driver named
McNeal with a blackjack.
McNabb, with L.. Reddaway. E.
Schultz and two other men engaged
McNeal to drive them to Mulino.

time the men decided to go over to
Aurora and McNeal drove them to that
place. It is said that the men had
been drinking and McNabb was ar
rested at Aurora and fined $25 and
ordered out of town.

blood.
DRINK MIXTURE IS FATAL
Walter Smith, 22, Imbibes - Too
Freely at Pendleton.
PENDLETON. Or.. Ju .y 6. (Spe
cial.) Excessive drinking of Florida
water mixed with near beer caused
the death of Walter Smith, 22-year-old
laborer of this city. Coroner Brown
did not call for an inquest, as it -was
learned that Smith had been drinking
large quantities of the alcoholic con
coction. When first found in a local lodging
house. Smith was suffering severely,
but the attending physician did not
think he had been fatally poisoned.
An anti-toxin was prescribed, but he
did not recover.
The body will be taken to Barlow,
the deceased man's home.
Week's Salmon Catch Light.
ASTORIA. Or.", July 6. The catch
of salmon thus far this week has been
small. 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.)
With a. natural ampltheater for
a lodge room and only the sky
above them,: several hundred Master
Masons gathered Monday on the sum
mit of Independence rock, 32 miles
west of this place, and held a "blue
lodge" session at the spot where the
first Masonic meeting in the region
which later became Wyoming, took
place years previously. 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. It
occurred to one who was a Master
Mason that there might be among the
several score men of the three trains

Charles L. Wood rum files Cross-
Complaint to Divorce Suit.
Liberty Held Endangered.
Mrs. Deborah G. Woodrum told her
husband, Charles L. Woodrum, that
a brother, a black sheep of the family
who had been indicted and convicted
of a felony, was dead, prior to the
marriage ceremony In Pocatello,
Idaho, in 1917, which united the Wood
rums, declares the husband in His
cross-complaint to a divorce suit of
Mrs. Woodrum, filed in the circuit
court .yesterday.
Far from being dead, the brother
"and his criminal associates and
friends" have made the Woodrum
home their home at the Invitation of
Mrs. Woodrum, since the marriage
and have endangered Woodrum's lib
erty by bringing opium and liquor
to the house, complains the husband.
Further Woodrum asserts that his
wife sends money to this brother and
encourages her children by a former
husband to insult their stepfather.
William G. Powell, 21, says that his
wife, Eva Mae Powell, 20, whom he
married at Dallas, December 6, 1918,
does not realize the responsibilities
of married life, has treated him
cruelly and has deserted him, in a
divorce suit filed.
William Wells would come home
intoxicated and threaten persons with
a gun. complains Blanche Wells, who
married him at The Dalles In 1904,
in a divorce action.
The actions of Emil Taraldson since
his marriage in Wisconsin in 1910
have been "beastly and animal," says
his wife, Nettie Taraldson, in a di
vorce suit started yeiterday. She asks
custody of 12-year-old Bernice Tar
aldson, an adopted daughter.
In 1919, Melbourne T. Abel deserted

OREGON CITY, Or., July 6. (Spe

his inquiries and these, adjourning to
the summit of the rock, held the first
Wyoming "bine lodge" session, after
fashioning lodge jewels and emblems
from pieces of tin cans and cardboard.
Twenty years later this crude -paraphernalia,
and minutes of the meet
ing, were found in a cranny in the
rock. and were sent to the first
Masonic lodge organized in Wyoming
Cheyenne No. 1.
One Nathaniel Wyeth cut his name
on the rock in May, 1832. Captain
Bonneville, the explorer, registered
beneath Wyeth's name in July of the
same year. A few weeks later, on
August 7. 1832, Rev. 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. ' ' -

HOOD RIVER, Or., July 6. (Spe
cial.) A grand jury this afternoon
returned a not true bill in the case
of R. 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. At the time of his preliminary
hearing before a justice of the peace,
it was stated that he would probably
face a second charge of embezzle
ment of funds belonging to Bufor I
Glass, high school student. 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. The sum of
$500 was obtained from Mr. Bailey,
who signed, a note, the funds to b?
used in promoting a partnership air
plane passenger business.
