By adopting a new rule the court expects to stop promiscuous demand for disbarment cases and investigations of conduct of law- yers, which may have had their inception in a personal grudge. ‘Under the interpretation of law by the bar board all charges for disbarment of attorneys have been investigated. The board held it was required to investigate any case presented. Many of the cases, it has been found, were started by enemies of the lawyers and had no real merit. Much expense was yator and one floor of the mill. involved in tho investigation. ‘GRUDGE CHARGES’ BEING STARTED BEFORE BAR BOARD The supreme caurt’s rule is to the effect that all charges against lawyers must first be submitted’ to the court, which shall consider them in con- ference and if the charges appear to merit investigation will submit them to the bar board for’ investi- gation. A report then is made to the court, which takes such fur- ther action in the case as it deems advisable.

Early sown grains have stooled very satisfactorily during the past. ten days of cool cloudy weather and this rain will prove of im- mense value to crops of all kinds. While crops are somewhat back- ward the indications were never more favorable, especially in the ‘central and western parts of the state. Reports that there was a cloud- burst at ‘Wilton proved to) be un- true upon investigation, the bu- reau reported. method of valuation. It is expected | that the commission will give weight to one of the most important utility questions before it — whether the | North Dakota law prescribes valua- tions must be on the original cost ‘basis or upon reproduction value, The railroad commission has adopt- ed the historical original cost sys- tem of, valuation, in which the value of a utility is fixed at the original cost ot the various items of material and labor entering into it. The reproduc- tion method, used in many states, is to take the cost of reproducing a plant at a given time, or basfng prices on a five or ten-year average, FORECAST FOR THE NEXT WEEK Washington, May 8,—Weather out- look for the week beginning Monday: Upper Mississippi vatley—Considera- ble cloudiness, occasional showers; | temperature near normal,
