The testimony of resi- ¥ dents, including members of % a convention which was held % at Ada to secure the establish- ¥ ment of the county, is prac- * tically conclusive to the effect ¥ that it was named in com- % ememoration of the great * number of Norman (i. e. Nor- ¥ wegian) emigrants who had settled there. A majority * of the members of the conven- ¥ tion which proposed the name were from Norway and the ¥ census of 1910 shows that over half the people of the % county are of pure Norwegian % descent. * * + XA A Ak kA Ak Ak kA khkhkkhk kA Ak kA kkhkkhkhkkXwrhkh LR SRR RS SRR R RN WHAT SENATOR CLAPP HAS ACCOMPLISHED It is not so strange after all that people are addicted with short mem- ories in these days of stirring events So many sen- satlonal events have transpired in the and swift mutations. recent past that a headline writer in London remarked that “Nothing short of the reappearance of the Messiah or the return of King Richard Third to the Tower of Lon- don would now be considered as a real piece of legitimate news.” ‘While everybody is compizining, and criticizing the high cost of liv- ing, and demanding that something be done in the way of relief, they seem to have forgotten that there are several investigations now under way, looking to a change of existing conditiens. We might first refer to an inves- tigation which affects every news- paper publisher and every other pub- lisher in the United States The price of print paper has arisen to the very zenith and no aeroplane can keep pace with the ascension. The congress of the United States has taken cognizance of the situa- tion and this resolution has been adopted. By the way, it is another ‘‘Gore resoultion.” recently the declaration of 100 per cent divi- dends. How many people in these United - | States know the recorded history of the paper case, the Standard Oil case, the tobacco trust case, the meat and packing house cases? Do they know why the Federal Trade commission, and the Department of Justice, and special committees in congress are in action right now to uncover the actual conditions pertaining to these existing trusts and monopolies ? Do they know that within three months from the date of the supreme court decision on the Standard Oil and the tobacco cases, that it became apparent to many deeply read men of the legal fraternity, that while the decision actually dissolved the trusts, its effective results would come far from applying the real remedy? This conviction took such deep root that early in the summer of 1911, Senator Moses E. Clapp of Minnesota, chairman of the great committee on interstate commerce in the senate, introduced and put through the following resolution: (In the Senate of the United States, July 26, 1911.) Resolved, That the committee on interstate commerce is hereby auth- orized and directed, by subcommittee or otherwise, to inquire into and re- port to the senate at the earliest date practicable what changes are neces- sary or desirable in the laws of the United States relating to the crea- tion and control of corporations en- gaged in interstate commerce, and what changes are necessary or desir- able in the laws of the United States relating to persons or firms engaged in interstate commerce, and for this purpose they are authorized to sit during the sessions or recesses of congress, at such times and places as they may deem desirable or prac- ticable; to send for persons and pa- pers ,to administer oaths, to summon and compel the attendance of wit- nesses, to conduct hearings and have and to employ such clerks, stenogra- phers and other assistants as shall be necessary and any expense in connection with such inquiry shall be paid out of the contingent fund of the senmate upon vouchers to be approved by the chairman of the committee. CHARLES G. BENNETT, Secretary. This apparently simple and straightforward resolution, cast up- sional current that hot July after- noon spread its waves not only into every state of the Union, but perme- ated foreign countries as well. For more than a year Clapp conducted a series of hearings that probably outrank any investiga- tlon ever conducted in Washington. Three volumes or more than three thousand closely printed pages were required to record the work of the committee. It was not a sub-com- mittee, either; the hearings were at- tended by every member of the com- mittee. The leading men of the country, students of economics. col- lege presidents, experts in transpor- tation and accountants, railway and steamboat men, leglslators and busi- “HIGHESTER BPILLS DIAMOND Lot Aol our Dra Ehtehostons Diamond Pills in Red and yearsknownas Des! e/ SOLD BY DRUGGISTS £ YEMAER ADVERTISEMENT.

Your vote for me at the primaries will be appre- ciated. W. H. GISH. Resolved that the Federal Trade|, commission be, and is hereby, di- rected to investigate the recent rapid and unprecedented advance in the price of print paper, and to ascertain and report to the senate the causes and forces which have brought about the advance of prices. A great many newspaper readers had an idea that the paper trust had been dissolved, or perhaps “busted” would be a more correct expression. It is not so very long ago since the government “went after” the pa- per trust. It was haled into the U. 8. courts, and after some drastic pro- cedure Frank B. Kellogg, special counsel for the government, an- nounced that the trust was “busted” and the-work completed. Today, however, the price of print paper is much higher than it was at the time Mr. Kellogg did the busting business. ‘Then of- course there is the case of:ivoil and the by-products of oil. Gasoline is rising like an inflated por- poise, although relief is in sight, thanks to the active work of the Federal Trade commission. We may expect to be informed as; to the actual facts, and the real causes which have doubled the price of oils during.the last five years, since the decree of dissolution by the U. S. supreme court and resulted (n‘ ADVERTISEMENT. (Authorized and placed by and for N. A. Otterstad. 'Price paid for series $5.00.)

The outcome of this exhaustive hearing was embodied in the legisla- tion which created the Federal Trade commission. The Federal Trade com- mission was not named until after the European war had centered universal attention across the water, but the Federal Trade commission is destined to play a star part in the forthcom- ing events after the close of the war. It is investigating the oil and sugar trust right now, and the man who more than any other who set the ma- chinery in motion is Senator Clapp. No amount of money that the trusts and combinations use can be- cloud the issue. The people of Min- nesota will stand by Senator Clapp as he has stood by the people. DENVER ABANDONS COMMISSION GOVERNMENT AFTER 3 YEARS' TRIAL Denver, Colo,. June 3.—Denver has just overthrown the commission form of government after three years’ trial. The city today is under the former mayoralty scheme. The change was made at a special election held last month, Robert W. Speer being elected mayor on a char- ter amendment which was the anti- thesis of commission government. In- stead of five commissioners, Mayor Speer is the government. While the legislative power under the new charter is vested in a coun- cilmanic board of nine members, Speer appointed four of them. The other five were chosen in a manner novel for a city of Denver’s size. The Denver Civic and Com- mercial association, the Trades .\s- sembly, the Real Estate Exchange, the Rotary club and the Manufac- turers’ club each elected a council- man, This plan was followed to save the people the cost of an election. Fu- ture boards will be elected by a popu- lar vote. The new charter created an indus- ADVERTISEMENT (Authorized and placed hy liam Lennon. Price paid for sei $20.00.) ANNOUNCEMENT.

I ask the voters to suppert me for | this nomination on my present rec-! ord as county commissioner and if elected assure them of earnest servi ces which are for the best interests | of my district and the county at large. Business Men Urge Lennon’s Return. | “Because William Lennon has been one of the most efficient com- missioners of this county, it is urged that the voters of his district sup- port him at the primaries in June, He is a fearless, honest and consci- entious worker and is a power for the economical conduct of the coun- ty’s affairs.” THE ROAD TO0 HEALTH is lighted up by the dawn of a new seience.
