The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1904-03-26

The merger case of the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern Ry
i Companies has at last been decided
upon by the highest tribunal Of the
land and declared illegal. This will
probably put stop to one man
management of two or more trans
continental railways. As to James
j. Hill, there is no doubt of his
ability as a railway manager and
fnancier; there is no doubt but he
could have managed the business
so he could have given the people
better freight and passenger rates
with the two roads under one man!
agement, but there is considerable
doubt whether he would or not.
As his company hauls rails from
Cleveland, Ohio, to China, via the
Great Northern, for 40 cents per
hundred pounds where they have
competition, but when the same
cars that took the cars out come
back from Seattle to North Dakota
points loaded with lumber, they
must have the same rate as they
got for hauling the iron half way
around the globe. Now, this may
look right to railway manager,
but to a North Dakota farmer who
must build barn and pay such
freight rates, it looks different alto
gether and makes him think there
is something wrong somewhere,
after giving all concerned their just
dues. And in regard to the part
Governor White, of North Dakota,
took when the meeting of Govern
ors was called to see what could be
done in regard to the Merger, he
made himself conspicuous by his
absence, thereby declaring himself
in favor of the merger and against
the commonwealth. Now, he is not
the kind of a man the farmers want
for governor and they should see
that he is equally conspicuous as a
state official at Bismarck as he is a
better farmer than governor any
way.-Anamoose Progress.

The Alliance has nc, personal
grudge against Gov. White, but u
does object to third term for q
chief executive of a nation or state.
When man has held either of
these positions two terms, he is
surrounded by a greedy gang of
'hangers-on" anxious to get their
fingers in the pie just a little deeper
than the law allows, and this IS
such we'll known fact that when
the question for third term for
either president or governor has
been presented to the people, it
has been turned down, and it does
not stand to reason that the voters
of North Dakota will establish a
precedent at this time. After one
man has held either of the Offices
named for two terms there should
be a house cleaning, because there
is no doubt but that corruption ex-
lists in some portions of the house.
No good housekeeper will neglect
to clean the residence every year,
and the heads of nations and states
should be changed for the same
reason-to get out the accumulated
dirt.-Valley City Alliance.

A farmers son, who is we'll
trained or educated, and is clear
headed and Industrious, is pretty
sure to be successful. If he meas
ures success by his health and
happiness, the respect of his neigh
bors and himself and by the pos
session of a modest independence,
he will not find a better field for
his talents than a good farm in a
civilized community.-Exchange.

This county paid out to the state
game warden for the year 1903 the
sum of $500 and for what? Net
for the protection of the game as
all the evidence that we had a state
game warden was to the effect that
his name was signed to the per.
mits, and we had to pay $500 fo1
that. We are like the man from
Missouri and we'll have to be shown
where this county derived any
benefits that would amount to the
above through the efforts of the
state game warden. We are not
finding fault with the deputy war
dens Of the county. Their part OF
the money derived from the sale Of
permits is very small portion, and
they have all the work to do. The
legislature next winter should be
called upon to abolish the Office Of
state game warden and put the en-
forcement of the game laws in the
hands of the sheriffs of the state

IRRIGATION WORK
IN NORTH DAKOTA.
The Fort Buford Project
Has Been Found
Practicable.

The entire North Dakota Con-
gressional delegation had a confer
ence late on the 9th inst. with Mr..
F. H. Newell, chief engineer of the
reclamation service, regarding If.
rigation work in their state. Every
phase of the question was discussed
but only one project was presented
that bears a semblance of feasabil-
ity, and that involves an expendi-
ture of about $25 an acre for re-
clamation.
This project, for which detailed
plans are now being prepared, in
wolves the use of the Yellowstone
river in eastern Montana, extend
ing into the old Fort Buford reser-
walton in North Dakota. In all
there is abont $4,000 acres "under
the DITCH" of which 10000 are in
North Dakota. Engineers estimate
that cost of construction of works
will be about 81, 100000, and that
of the entire $4,000 acres, 66, 1000
can be made productive.
Fifty-two per cent of the land
included in this project is in pri-
vate ownership. It is mostly rail-
road grant land, and the only OBJ
stacle in the way of the govern
ment going ahead with the work is
the possible objection of owners to
paying what the might consider an
exorbitant price for the privilege
ofgetting water. If they accept the
conditions proposed by the govern
ment for improvements at the rate
of $3.50 per annum per acre for
ten years.
Newell invites owners of land
others interested to submit their
views, now that a definite idea has
been gained Of the probable costof
constructive works. It is stated
that the land, when made product
i've, will yield winter feed at small
cost for the entire grazing country
contiguous to Canada.
General conditions in North Da-
kota with reference to the construc-
ton of reclamation works along
the Missouri and other rivers were
discussed by the delegation. Sen.
Hansbrough urged the erection of
pumping stations at points where
river sites were found, but Newell
explained that this was impracti-
cable, as it wound involve raising
water about 100 feet and make the
cost prohibitive. ;
The delegation requested that
the investigation be continued and
Newell stated that competent en-
gineer, and possibly two or three,
will be sent into the state during
the coming summer to make thoro
examination Of all places where
there might be feasible project,
HI explained that the department
is anxious to do everything in it's
power in the way of reclamation in
North Dakota because of its large
contribution to the irrigation fund,
but up to this time the Ft. Buford
project is the only one that prom
ises results. Minneapolis Journal.

NO DARK TACTICS
American Lighting Co. Re
strains the Public Ser

Cutting Off the Gas.

A merry war is being waged between
the Public Service Corporation and the
American Lighting Company of Balti-
more, which recently underbid the Public
Service Corporation for the contract for
gas and oil street lighting formerly held
by the local concern.
The Public Service Corporation con-
trolls all the gas plants in this vicinity
and it announced that it would refuse
to sell gas to its successful opponent,
threatening to cut off the supply hith-
erto furnished for the street lamps. The
Baltimore concern obtained an injunction
from the United States Branch Court
in Wilmington, Delaware, restraining
the Public Service Corporation from
shutting off the street lampss' supply.
Then it went ahead replacing the lamp
burners with those of the patent con-
trolled by it.
President ThomaslH. McCarter of the
Public Service Corporation wrote Mayor
Pagan, informing him of the substitu-
tion of burners by the Baltimore concern
by its patent burners and informing the
Mayor, as a matter of,courtesy, that on

Clara White, the sixteen-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs White, of No.
37S Seventh street, who left her home on
February 5, last, because her parents
objected to the abnormal interest she
displayed in the work Of the Christian
Alliance Mission run by Rev. and Mrs.
Arthur Evans at Third and Coles streets,
was last night forcibly taken from the
mission house by the police and returned
to her parents. She offered desperate
resistance. The police are of the opinion
that the girl is religiously demented.
In the First Criminal Court some days
ago Mrs. White, the mother of the girl,
had been hypnotized by the mission folk.
The girl at that time was supposed to
be living at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Evans in Jersey avenue. She left there.
however, and went to Brooklyn. For
awhile she kept away from the mission
but recently the police learned that she
was again in attendance at the mission.
Chief Murphy himself, accompanied
by two detectives, went there last night
and found Miss White leading singing
class. At an opportune moment he went
to the girl and informed her of the OBJ
ject of his visit.
81 will not go homer shouted Miss
White.
Instantly the mission was in an up
roar.
Rev. Arthur Evans objected to the
action of the police The Chief insisted
that the girl would have to go home,
and others of the mission fold declared
that being of age Miss White had per-
feet right to do as she pleased in the
matter.
Chief Murphy, by coaxing, got the
young woman 10 leave lHe misSioh, uus
when opposite her home she fought to
get away from him.

Lord has called me there, and there l
will remain"
Her voice was heard by her parents
in their home across the street. The
front door flew open and Mrs. White
rushed out and threw her arms around
her daughter pleading with her to come
home
81 shall 60 where the Lord directs"
Miss White declared, but on seeing the
tears streaming down her mothers
cheeks, she resignedly walked back into
her home.
Mrs. White says of her daughter
ssShe was always rational until she
entered that mission. I was withs her
at the time. We dropped in merely to
look on at the service. When my daugh-
ter left she appeared as one in a trance.
Two months ago she acted like one bor-
dering on the edge of religious mania.
She could not even sleep soundly, de-
claring that Christ had beenAtalking to
her through the night. She said that
angels had revealed to her the true re-
ligion of Christ. Nothing thatther father
or l could do would bring her back to
a rational state of mind. / am happy

Chief Murphy had taken a personal
