SMOOTH FOR WHITE
ND, stKindergarten" Picks Him
for denomination.
AFTER LISTENING TO J. J. HILL
Its Members Expected to See That
Sentiment in North Dakota Is
~ for the Merger. III

AS a result Of the recent conference
of North Dakota politicians in st. Paul,
Governor Frank White of North Dakota
will be renominated if the forces headed
by Alexander Mckenzie and Jud La
Moure are successful in the republican
state convention. This means that he
is now assured of the support of these
two "big ones" as well as the backing
Of the entire republican state organiza-
ton which has representatives already
at work In every part of the state
This Is a big change in the political
prospects of Governor White, who but
few weeks ago was not assured Of
support from any particular source out
side Of that given him by his home coun-
ty. The new deal brings to him the
solid support Of the Missouri slope coun-
try and all of the northern part of the
state that LaMoure can control, as well
as various other delegations that will be
at the disposal Of Mckenzie, LaMoure
and their friends. ...
Since the return of President Hill from
the east. Mckenzie and LaMoure have
been preparing plans for a demonstration
that would prove conclusively that the
sentiment of North Dakota was not op
posed to the big merger. This took shap,
in the gathering in St. Paul Saturday
when nearly every section Of the state
was represented by men who are in Close
COuCn WALL Tue republican, Stdt0 CrSaulZa
| ton.
Incidentally this gathering was able t
demonstrate to Governor White that hi
absence from the Helena conference an
his failure to cooperate with Governo
Van SAINT of Minnesota would be 1ndorse
| by large number Of political workers i
his party. The entire Kindergarten" wa
given heart-to-heart talk by Presiden
Hill Of the Great Northern, who told the1
| the benefit his plans would bestow upo
| North Dakota and what he intended t
do for the state. All present were con
WINGED that the merger would be a goo
thing and numerous members OF the party
previous to their departure for home, sal
| that the 20 per cent reduction in frefgh
rates on the Great Northern and North
| ern Pacific, promised to come within thirt
days, would prove it.
It was argued that the future success Q
| the "organization'' in the state depende
much upon the attitude Of the republica
governor. An unreasonable attitude 0

would tend to deprive the organization {
the help and influence Of the railroads.
was generally conceded that If Whit
showed sensible" attitude by not at
tending the Helena conference, he woul
| be a good man to renominate. GoTernc
White did not attend the Helena confer
ence, his course was Endorsed by the 9
Paul gathering, and the governor was as
sured of the hearty support OF the two bi
| leaders and the organization.

IMPORTANT EXTENSIONS
New Work Projected in Montana and
Wisconsin. ..4,-

Formal announcement Is made of the
projected extension of the Burlington
from Billings, Mont, to connect with the
Great Northern extension from Great
Falls south. This will give the Burling-
ton, as part Of the Hill system, connee-
ton with both the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern in Montana. The move
was decided on as soon as James J. Hill
became supreme in the affairs of the
three roads.
The North Western will commence work
early in the spring on an extension of
forty miles from Elroy to Princeton in
Wisconsin. This will afford freight and
passenger service on North Western lines
from the twin cities directly across the
state of Wisconsin to Sheboygan. 1t will
be OF great assistance to the North West
ern in Transporting coal from Lake Mich
igan to the twin cities. The trade in the
country tributary to the new line will
be contended for on about equal terms
between Chicago, Milwaukee and the twin
cities.

Through misunderstanding, no notice
was served on the Commercial Club that
delegation of Cass Lake citizens wished to
wait upon that body this afternoon in the
interests Of the Morris bill, now pending
! In congress, which provides for the OPEN
ing to settlement Of the Cass Lake reser-
walton and the cuttingso Of timber on the
bank scale As only few members Of
the public affairs committee, to which the
delegation was referred, could be as
sembled on such short notice, an adjourn
ment was taken until o'clock p. m, when
all interested members Of the Commercial
Club are requested to meet in tn. card
room.
A. L. Cole said that the people OF Casg
Lake and vicinity wished to defeat the
national park scheme solely because they
looked upon it as blow to the agricul-
tural interests Of the state. He believed
that park enthusiasts should be content
with the reservation of an island Of 1000
acres In Cass Lake. Otherwise the park
proposition was not feasible.
The members Of. the delegation are
Roland H. Hartley Of the Cass Lake Land
company, e. T. Warren, J. T. Gardner, ].

Cause.
The car shortage east Of Chicago is
making new difficulties for shippers of

million bushels of grain ordered sent

awaiting shipment. The storage charges
on this grain will cause big loss to ship
pers The shipments of grain by eastern
lines last week were only 1,479.000 BUSH
els, the smallest amount forwarded in any
single week for three months.
Special efforts were made by the rail-
roads to forward flour to be exported on
certain ships. the amount being taken
from Chicago being 22S,619 barrels, an in
crease of 1924 barrels over the shipments
the preceding week.
The western railroads carried to Chi
cago last week $4,000 bushels of grain,
an Increase Of $4,000 bushels over the
receipts of the previous week. but the
smallest receipts in the last week of
December since 1895.
The live stock traffic Of the western
roads was also very light last week, the
total deliveries at Chicago being 211, 459
cattle, sheep and hogs, 155. 900 less than
the previous week.
