Farmers Alliance Growing Rapidly.
JAMESTOWN, Oak, April AL. L.
Loucks, president of the Dakota Farmers
alliance, addressed q large gathering of
farmers Friday on the subject of estab-
fishing alliance elevators in Dakota. The
object is to keep hard grain separate by
shipping to- terminal elevators to be
built at Duluth, Minneapolis and other
points. The grain is to be shipped direct
to Liverpool and advance the price for
the pure quality thus obtained. Fifty
elevators are now in operation in Dakota
and Minnesota, and he expects by fall to
have 800. doing business. Over $50 al
liances are now organized in Dakota;
1000 will be formed this year. Farmers
generally are subscribing to the elevator
stock The buildings will average about
81, 900 in cost.

News.
WINNIPEG, Man, April 14.-Amone
the applications for charters which will
be made to the legislature at the present
session will bo one from the Winnipeg
and Southeastern railway. This COM
psny is composed entirely of Winnipeg
gers, and it's members include many of
the most substantial business men of
the city, and they mean busi-
ncss men. Among the charter mem
bcrs of the company are: j. H. Ash
down, WE Alloway, Hon. G.. McNIicken,
r. j. Whtla, X. Mckenzie, w. Watson,
john b Mather, A. Macdonald, ex-Sher-
ifl Richards, L. G. Ggah, W. R. Sinclair
and Joseph Il. Hannah. The road will
run in a southeasterly direction, meeting
the Winnipeg and Duluth at the bound-
airy, and forming with that road
an air line to Duluth. BY this
route the distance will only be some
thing like 300 miles from Winnipeg to
Duluth, as against 4l3 from Winnipeg
to Port Arthur by the Canadian Pacific
The Winnipeg and Duluth road is built
to Tower, and its promoters announce
their intention of at once pushing
forward their line, as they are
desirolls Of reaching Winnipeg at
as early a date as possible. They
have vet !2O miles to build, and the Win
nipes and Southeastern railway will be
ninety miles in length. 1t is expected
the two roads will meet near the south
east angle Of the Lake Of the Woods, so
that by building branch to the lake
and erecting piers, that vast lumber dis
ciict will be laid tributary to them.

IN WATER TO TEE ROOFS.
UTTER DEsoLAT!oN AT TIE UPPER
LEVEE IN ST. PAUL.
FOUR HUNDRED POOR FAMILIES
RENDERED HOMELESS.

Their Houses Almost Entirely Submerged
the Roofs Only Showing Above the
Waves---Immense Damage Done ut DOR
dan, Minn.---Flood News.
ST.PAUL, April 16.-At 8. p. m. Friday
the signal service gauge indicated that the
Mississippi river at this point had risen
to the height of 14.01, a gain of five
inches since the preceding midnight, and
one inch above the danger point-four-
teen feet. There was no appreciable gain
during the remainder OF the day, and
the opinion of Observer Lyons was that
the maximum of the flood had been
reached.
On the flats of the upper levee the
scene was one of utter desolation. OF
the hundreds of huts that dot the ex-
panse populated by the Bohenlians and
Poles of st. Paul proper, less than a
score were inhabitable. Some of them
We're completely submerged, and
in most instances the water
was even with the caves.
Those who had boats spent the day in re-
moving the contents of the partially sub
merged huts to places of safety. Others
made RATS of the roofs of houses that
had floated down stream, and piled their
belongings upon them.
1t is estimated that at least 400 fami-
lies resident on the upper flats are ren-
dered temporarily homeless by the flood
Below State street, in the Sixth ward,
the water covers more ground than yes
terday, and the appearance in that part
OF the city would indicate great rise
over the day before. The alarm has
passed over, and these having houses of
more than one story have moved up
stairs. Nothing has been carried away
by the water, as there was no current.
Very little damage has been done, and it
is believed that unless the upper Missis-
sippl breaks up and comes down, no more
trouble will be experienced

WINNIPEG, April 16-Travelcrs who
have arrived here from the West bring
news of an accident which occurred ON
bridge over the western crossing of Bow
river, on the Canadian Pacific road, in
the Rocky mountains. A beam of the
superstructure of the new truss bridge
which is being built to replace the pres
cnt one was blown across the track by a
high wind The east-bound express
came along about midnight and ran into
the obstruction. Fortunately the engi-
neer had Stacked speed on approaching
the bridge, and the collision did not re-
suit so disnstrously rs it might have
done. The locomotive, however, was
thrown half way around and left
lying at right angles with the track. and
freight and baggage car were turned
over on their sides on the bridge The
passenger coaches remained on the track,
and none Of the passengers were injured.
If the train had been running at its regu-
lar rate of speed it would undoubtedly
have fallen into the river below, and
many of those on board would have been
killed

WASHINGTON, April 1G.-The house
committee on rivers and harbors have de-
termined to call up the bill Monday and
try to pass it under suspension of the
rules. Reed and Mckinley are deter
mined'to oppose the bill in order to useit
against the tariff bill: which is coming
up on Tuesday under special order. The
Northwesterners have good deal at
stake in the river and harbor bill and are
anxious to have it pass. Hay lake chan
mel and the 500 canal get 81, 500, 900, and
Minnesota and Wisconsin get pretty good
appropriations and are reluctant to let
the bill go over.

'The omnibus bill will pass the house
and will also pass the senate. The bill
has been abused by the Democrats as
well as Republicans in the Northwest.
They do not understand it. The bill has
resulted from seventeen years. careful
study of Dakota and careful interest in
her advancement, as well rs similar in
terests i'll other territories. They may
call it a bologna bill, or Springer's, but
it is a good measure and has been studied
by house committeeman and others and
will pass with little discussion l feel
confident it will also pass the senate.
Those who sneer may some day praise
and commeud.'

reservation bill. Maginnis says: s'This
is the best legislation Montana has had
in ten years. It opens the vast territory

prosperity to Montana and hastens her
statehood ~
