The branch house “will ‘take the place of the sub-agency which has been in operation in your city.” ‘the manager of the branch, house will be J. C. Deutsch, who is now in charge of the sub-agency. The branch house will be under the di- rection of Superintendent R. L. Rud- dick, of Minneapolis, in charge of business in the Northwest. The brief announcement made by Armour and company from the Chi- cago office of the company simply say that the growth of the city as a jobbing center makes necessary the establishment of the plant. © City’s Growth For the last few years Bismarck | has grown rapidly as a distributing | center. The biggest city in the great slope country, the pioneer jobbing houses have increased remarkably ther | volume of business, and there are many who believe that in the im- mediate future the wholesale an‘ jobbing business of Bismarck will make unprecedented strides. Enthusiastic assistance has, been given the jobbing business by retail- ers and city boosters in other lines of business, during the trade extensio! tours conducted during the year Three of them were held, and the city boosters plan to cover new ter- ritory next spring. ; The heavy registration and vote ir fhe city of Bismarck would indicate that there are 8,000 to 9,000 people in the city, instead of the 7,000 fig ure of the census bureau.

ESTATES OF EMPEROR FOR PENSIONS Invalid Soldiers of Austria Are | Beneficiary of Confisca- tion yt | pee | Vienna, Nov. 5.—The vast estates of | the late Emperor Francis Joseph will | be devoted to the pension fund of in- yalid soldiers under a decision just taken by the cabinet council. Certain castles and dwellings in this city and; the nearby suburb of Baden will either ‘be occupied by them or the} fund will receive the rentals and other accruements. Included in the arrangements are the splendid estates of Orth, Voessen- dorf, Maltighoefen, Poeggstall, Aug-{ onten, |Laxenburg, Hetzendorf ) and many others jthe decision also cover-} ing the Lainz’ Tiergarten, near Vien- | na, on which a group of some hun- dreds of former soldiets recently; squatted. . wd The income of the Prater, Wenna’s most famous suburban, park with its numerous restaurants 4nd amusement places, is also included. Many of the estates contain model farms and oth- ers are under rentals of:much value. | The late Emperor Francis Joseph. who died in 1916, bequeathed 60,000,000 crowns from his private fortune to a; fund for wounded soldiers, invalids | and relatives-of men killed in the war. To two daughters and one granddaughter he bequeathed 20,000,- 000 crowns each, the remaining 10,- 000,000 crowns of his estate to be di- | 2 vided among several other legatees. It has since been reported that an! American-Dutch company has bought the Emperor's summer palace at Ischl, | in the Tyrol, for hotel purposes. The} hunting estates and lodges of the late Emperor in the Tyrol were advertised for sale in January last. Francis con- sidered these the finest in Europe. ‘ CHAMP CLARK TO STEP DOWN OUT OF U. S.

Mpe Clark was elected to the house jn 1893; in 1895 he was not chosen, put in 1897 he again was the choice of his district and has represented it ever since.

AUTHOR OF SCHEME WHICH DROVE MANY DAKOTA EDITORS TO RUIN FEELS THE STING OF VOTERS WHO REMEMBERED oo Tragedy of Many Small Town Editors in North Dakota Occasioned Remarks From Many Editors in Other States Whd Were ' Startled by Beldness of Scheme | He who sets out to often is destroyed. And in the changing currents of political life the: man who is gen- erally known as the author of a scheme by which many honest, struggling newspaper editors in North Dakota were driven to bank- ruptcy today is feeling the sting of retribution. The tragedy of the gigantic and ruthless scheme by which a tree press in a free state was invaded by a subsidized press has startled men: over the entire country, men who could not believe that such a thing could happen. Job Brinton’s newspaper grab pill accomplished its purpose. It ‘ ruined many editors: it gave Townley a subsidized press, sub- sidized by a free people, it gave them the public funds, money of friends and foe. : Before the People The same Job Brinton went bé- fore the people of Burleigh coun- ty, after the newspaper grab act had aroused a storm of resent- ment throughout the state and forced a concession ,a law which forced newspapers to go before the people and seek patronage at the ballot box instead of by daily service.. Perhaps the people re- membered, for Job Brinton’s news- paper ran a bad third. Of 6,000 voters but 10 per cent. gave him votes. The story of the first editor who was driven to the wall by the Nonpartisan scheme of oppression has often been told.

The members will meet in the post rooms at 7 p. m. that evening. Clubroom Planned Tentative plans for the establish- ment of clubrooms by the legion post were discussed. G. H. Russ Jr., retiring commander, gave a report on the activity of the post during the last year. The first state convention, which was held. in October, 1919, in Bismarck, was the the post. On Sunday, Feb. 22, 1920, the post presented the French memorial ¢ tificates to the next skin of those who died in the world war, and in April the post presented a musical show. Memorial day, the Million Dol- lar band concert, the entertainment | of National Commander Franklin D’- Olier in August and the sending of a delegation to the Minot convention were included. in making recommendations for the next year Commander Russ placea first and foremost the securing of a clubroom “where members can al- ways gather for recreation or. read- ing, either to be paid for by increas- ing the dues or by a club compos2u of men who-will receive the benefits and who are willing to club together for its support.

An editorial writer in the News-Tribune expressed himself as follows: “Recently there was in Duluth the man who owned the first news- paper suppressed by the Nonpar- tisan league in North, Dakota. | This man is a Dane. He hasbeen in the United States for eight years. Aftey working’ as a print- er, he had published a paper in a small Dakota town. “In it he had invested all his \ | savings, about $3,800, the result of his years of work here. When Townley organized his Socialist party this man opposed it. He | believed that the guaranty of the freedom of the press in America meant what it said., He was to learn differently. “A meeting of Nonpertisans was | called in his county. told to refuse to. take his paper. They did. He was bankrupted. He was not the only newspaper ruined in the same way. The second man lost a $10,000 prop- erty.” editors They May Remember srinton’s act did not ruin nor materially damage the papers of the larger cities of North Daokta. But it did give Mr, Townley a pow- erful weapon. If the leaders of the Nonpartisan | league, in their older years, boast the larger cities of North Dakota. they probably will not boast of the manner in which they made the first great organized attack on a free press and drove many men to bankruptcy. WATER RATE CASE IS POSTPONED h was to be held The hearing w enforcement of the increased rates! granted by the railroad commission to the Bismarck Water Supply com- pany was postponed until Nov. 11, be- cause of the pressing business of some of the attorneys in the case.

Much Valuable Time Lost Heretofore Mr. Keller has used his men as flying squads to go to any part of his territory and make raids. ‘The objection to this plan, Mr. Keller said, was that agents who have conducted raids in Iowa, Nebraska, and the Dako- tas lose much valuable time returning to these states when the cases come; up for trial before the federal court. Under the reorganization the resi-) dent agenjs will only be called upon to testify before the term of federal court which meets in their district a they will not have handled cases outside of their district.
