a good citizen Of the city called at-
tention to the work OF small boys ID
gathering mp scrap iron and brass for
sale to junk dealers. He said he had
no objection to boys turning an hon
est penny in this manner, bat the
trouble lay ia the fact that the boys
are stealing scrap iron and brass for
sale to the junk man. He stated
that certain shop in the city had
lost quite quantity of brass recently
by the depredAtions of boys, and as
brass lie worth 121k cents pound the
loss 10 no small matter. The Light is
glad TO see boys doing any kind OF
honest labor, but they should be
taught that it is just as criminal TO
steal pound of brass or scrap iron as
to steal purse or horse Parents
should look after their boys and see
that they do not gather up scrap iron
and brass that does not belong TO
them and cell it for a penny to junk
dealers.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 81, 1902.

The railroads today are face to face
with the greatest car and power
shortage in their history. 1t is esti-
mated by conservative and expert
traffic men that the demand for cars
to move the traffic of the country
which is now being offered for trans
p%ortation is fully 500, 900 in excess of
the supply. AS the weeks go by the
shortage will undoubtedly increase
rather than decrease, until it reaches
a point where every freight yard and
every freight house in the country is
blockaded with traffic awaiting trans
portation facilities. So bad has the
situation become that a sudden period
of cold weather would almost paralyze
the whole country. Realizing the
danger of this traffic. and operating
men are using almost super-human
efforts to relieve the situation, and are
hoping against hope. The facts with
respect to transportation facilities of
the country and the amount of traffic
of ever description and class that is
being offered to public carriers are
startling in their significance, for in
the traffic of the country is mirrored
a prosperity that is unprecedented.

DEVILS LAKE nTER-OCEAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER n, 1902.

Little. was regarded during the cam.
paign as a factor in the senatorial
fight, and many people felt that if
H%ansbrough and Johnson became in
volved in a bitter strife, Little would
be elected. The turn down of his
candidates for>the legislature was such
a blow that it is not thought his
name will be presented in the Repub-
lican caucus.
While the election seemed to dis
pose Of Little, it is thought in som
sections of the state to have also laid
out ex-Congressman M. N. johnson.
In Johnson's home county only one of
the legislative candidates will support
him. The other member of the legis-
lature is a pronounced Hansbrougn
man, and the state senator is a hold
over, ) who publicly announced last
summer he was opposed to johnson.
johnson believes. he is a man Of
destiny, however, and on a recent
trip to Fargo expressed confidence in
his election. There is little possibi-
lily of a candidate from this section
Of the state, as both the congressman
are from the southern counties.
The friends of Senator Hansbrough
insist that the conditions could
scarcely be more favorable to his
election.
With two of the strong est op-
ponents practically eliminated and
with the senator's victory in the en-
tire northern part of the state he is
reported as having such a lead that
he cannot lose. He was endorsed by
his home county ard all through the
seconu district he defeated Judge
Cowan, having the support of eight or
ten counties in that part of North Da-
kota. He has a strong following in
Cavalier and the possibilities are that
he will have enough votes on the first
formal ballot in the Republican eau
Gus to secure his denomination.
Ordinarily the senatorial situation in
this state is a matter Of surprises and
disappointments, but the conditions
are peculiar this time and if Senator
Hansbrough fails to be returned it
will cause more establishment to the
average layman in Flickertail poll
tics than has ever occurred. James
