'Mercedes leaned against him, her white hands now at her breast: her great eyes watching Gale as he went out, In the -corridor Gale stopped long enough to pull on a pair of heavy gloves, to muss his hair, and disar- range his collar. Then he stepped into the Testaurant, went through, and halted in the door leading into the saloon. - No one appeared to notice him. Gale's roving glance soon fixed upon the man he took to be Rojas. The Mexjcan's face was turned aside. He was’in earnest, excited colloquy with &, dozen or more comrades, most of whom were sitting round a table. They . were listening, talking, drinking.

With fertile mind ‘working, Gale lurched over to them. 'Jf he:zwere to get any help from these silent” aloof rangers it must be by striking fire from them in one swift! stroke, Planting himself squarely be- fore the two tall cowboys who were standing, he looked straight into their-lean, bronzed faces. He spared a fyll moment for that keen, cool #aze before he spoke. “I'm wot drunk. I'm throwing =a bluff,”and I wean to start a rough housg, I'm going to rush that d--d bandit Rojas.

The: hum of the many voices srew louder, and when Dick lurched agafhst a table, overturning it and spilling gla: into the laps of sev- eral Mexicans, there arose a shrill cry.

ALSO SHOWING—PATHE WEEKLY NEWS (The world before your eyes) and a Comedy Friday Only—Hoot Gibson IN “THE LONE HAND” ELK Sold By ALL LEADING DRUGGISTS Some Reasons Why County Division Should be Defeated ‘BECAUSE—The division line should be at Red Lake rather than twelve miles north of the lake, The tremendous ditch liability in the section immediately north of the lake should nct be thrust upon the south half of the county alone. BECAUSE—Aitorneys agree that under the law passed in 1911, the new proposed county assumes only the ditch liability as arresting the lands within its established boundary and is forever freed from any ditch obligations arresting the lands south of this boundary line. The lands nerth of the proposed boundary line are practically all drained, a large number of rivers and creeks giving this land a natural drainage. The lands south of this division line to Red Lake form practically a level floating peat bog, with no natural drainage. . : BECAUSE—The ditch liens on the land north of this line, we be- lieve, are guilt edged and will be paid by the property owners, leaving no obligation for the new county to meet, while a large percentage of the land just south of the division line will not be paid for for years and the bonds will have to be paid by a,/ general tax on the people of the county. mi county. We earnestly urge the voters to study the question carefully be- fore voting and unless firmly convinced that the division will benefit the scuth half of the county to vote “NO” on November 7. County division cannot possibly mean a reduction of taxes and it may mean a decided increase, as high according to scme estimates as $1.00 an acre, if southern Beltrami county is forced to stand the entire amount of the ditch liens on the land of doubtful value. Let’s meet this crisis as a unit and not allow one part of the county to shirk its responsibili- ties by forming a new county. Vote “NO” on County Division --and be safel Inserted by Taxpayers Committee of Southern Beltrami County BECAUSE—If county division carries, all future ditch work in the lands just north of Red Lake will have to be paid for by smaller Beltra- BECAUSE—According to figures carefully prepared we believe that smaller Beltrami county, in case of division, will have to pay the new county appreximately $30,000.C0 in cash—the difference between the new county’s share of the physical properties of the present county and its share of floating indebtedness. BECAUSE—We believe that the time is not ripe for county divio- ion. The ditch problems are in their infancy. benefitted by the ditches has not yet been assessed any part of the prin- cipal of the ditch bonds. In, a few years we will all be in a better posi- tion to know how the ditch problem is working oyt. We will then be better able to vote intelligently on division, Pasteurized Milk, Rich in Nourishment and of Purest Quality—Yet Mo Higher Than Raw Milk.
