BLOW AT BEER CLUBS
Drinking Societies Just As Illegal As Blind
Pigs, North Dakota Judge Holds.

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 22.--It is just
as ser ious an offense in North Dakota
to clu b together and buy and drink
whisky and beer regularly as to con-
duct a blind pig.
Otto Thoempke owns a farm rear
Wheatland. He and a few friends
dubbed together and purchased beer
at regular intervals. Thoempke was
the agent for the others and handled
the funds.
"A neighbor disliked the alleged
lows created at Thoempke's place
and made complaint. There was no
allegation that the intoxicants had
been sold like it is done in ordinary
blind pigs.
Thoempke was held guilty by Judge
Pollock and appealed, but the supreme
court affirmed Judge Pollock. This
will put an end to the clubbing bust
ness in this state.

Control of European Water Routes
Secured by Yankee Capital

Control of European Water Routes
Secured by Yankee Capital.
London, Jan. 13-One of the most
important of American commercial en-
terprises in Europe has just culmina-
ted here. 1t consists in the securing
OF all water routes for American car
goes of grain and other commodities
from inland ports in the United States
to inland ports in Europe, and en-
braces the purchase by American CAPT.
tai of several British and other ca
nails.
AS a result cargoes will shortly be
shipped on the same bills of lading
from Duluth Mimi. to Brussels, Bur-
ges, Client, and Cologne, and, later,
to many points in the United King
dom, France, Germany, and Italy.
At the forthcoming session of par
lament the British legislators will be
asked to grant permission for the cree
ton of central power stations for the
propulsion of traffic on at least two
British canals. These will be operated
with American capital, though their
control will nominally remain in
British hands.
