ada but it is certain that our Canadian
trade is increasing very rapidly. Dur
ing the fiscal year 1905@it aggregated
5000, 100000 against 1885,, 429,000 just
ten years before. Most Of this increase
has been exports. Our imports have
only little more than doubled during
the past thirty years, while our exports
during that time, amounting to $l40,-
$4,000 for 1906. have considerably
more than quadrupled. This has been
accomplished. too, in the face of dis
elimination in the Canadian tariffs In
favor Of Great Britain running from
1914 per cent fixed in 1897, to rs per
cent fixed on Aug. !, 1898, and in.
creased to 331-B per cent on July 1,
1900. Under these advantages the ex.
ports to Canada from the, United King.

States grew from $65,000,O00 to $l41,
100000 in 1905, an increase Of $4,000,

Jury Acquitted chsnowsth.

Supt. Moore gave testimony in the
Chenoweth horse stealing trial at
Bismarck last week. The evidence
was such that the jury acquitted the
young man on the ground of insanity.
It Is one of the most remarkable
horse stealing cases in history Of
the west. The young man, an art
list and mem ber of a good family of
the south. stole l2O head Of
horses, mostly Of a good standard
breed, and ran them from the west
ern part of the state south thru the
states Of South Dakota and Nebraska,
and not until the stock reached the
vicinity of Topeka, Kan, were they
overtaken. The captor managed to
hide the stock during the day and
travel with them nights without de-
lection. He was afterwards captured
and brought back to the Jail at Me-
dora, where he escaped.
The crime was committed in 1901
and it was not until recently that
Chenoweth was recapured in Casper,
Wyo. The theory of insanity was
based on heredlty and the strong
testimony of the mother. The young
man was re-arrested at Bismarck and
taken to Montana for trial on another
charge of horse stealing.

ITS PASSAGE ADVOCATED.
Bill Amending immigration Laws
Called Up in Senate.

Washington, May 23.-Mr. Dilling-
ham, chairman of the committee on
immigration, called up in the senate
the bill amending the immigration
laws.
Presenting the merits of the meas
ure he said it was intended to
strengthen the law of 1903, which is
working admirably. He did not accept
some of the popular theories concern
ing immigration, but held to the belief
that the influx of foreigners is regu-
lated by the labor marKet-that In
dull times the number is small and in
good times large, as, for instance,
1,026,000 in 1905, as compared with
229, 1000 in 1898. He also found en-
couragement in the fact that vast
majority, over 80 per cent, Of the i'm
migrants are between the ages of
fourteen and forty-ive. or at the age
when persons are least liable to be-
come public charges. This fact he
considered not only reassuring to
those who fear an influx Of paupers,
but also an indication that those who
came to our shores came on their own
initiative. He also found encourage
ment in the fact that many Of the i'm
migrants, especially those from Italy,
return to their homes after spending
the working season in the United
States.

M'CUMBER RESENTS CHARGE.
One Of His Rate Bill Amendments
Described as "Jcker."

Washington, May 23.-The railroad
rate bill found an early echo in the
senate when Senator McCumber rose
to question of personal privilege to
make reply to publication in the
New York Tribune charging that one
of the North Dakota senator's amend
ments would accomplish the defeat of
certain purposes Of the BILL The
amendment was described in the
newspaper as little joker" and it
was represented that by changing the
word regularly" to the word claw
fully common carriers would be en-
abled to disregard the orders of the
commission. 1t was stated that the
senator had admitted that such would
be the result. Senator McCumber
said that he had never made any such
admission nor any admission that
would seem to be of that character.
He expressed. the opinion that If there
had been any Joke" on any one it
was on the writer of the article, but
ne regarded it as rather slur on the
committee which had accepted it and
to the lawyers of the senate, none of
whom had detected anything of
covert character in it. He also said
that the amendment could not have
any effect like that indicated and he
did not understand how any person
with the slightest reasoning power
could have reached the conclusion
arrived at by the writer of the article.

DEATH IN A DITCH.
Jamestown Contractor Meets Un-
timely End In a Sewer Trench.
Narrow Escape of Companion.

Last evening, while about to adjust
a length of sewer tiling in a ditch in
the alley in the rear of The ALERT
Office, Fred Sorenson met his death in
a very sudden manner. The dirt on
the north side Of the excavation gave
way, and as the ditch at that place
was l3 feet deep, he was buried by a
large amount of sand and earth, there
being about three feet of dirt over his
head when the body was finally un-
covered and the remains dragged to
the surface. A companion worker on
the ditch had just stepped back from
the spot where the accident occurred,
and Sorenson had stepped forward into
his place, when the dirt suddenly fell,
crushing him against the south side of
the ditch and covering him as above
stated. The body was found in a
standing position and was in no way
disigured. The report that the neck
had been broken was not correct, as
when the remains were examined by
DR.. De Puy it was found that death
had occurred from sufocation. A
slight fall of:dirt gave the companion
of Sorenson a warning to get away,
and his prompt action in doing so no
doubt saved his life.
Sorenson's body was taken to the
nearest' undertaking rooms for exam
ination by a physician, but there
was no hope Of restoring life. 1t re-
quired nearly two hours for relays Of
volunteers to remove the fallen earth,
and several times the ground gave way
just as the body was aboutS to be
reached. Sorenson's companion says
he heard one cry after the dirt had
fallen, but that was all the sound or
evidence of any struggle on the part Of
Sorenson. .~.~
The lack of any precaution in hrac;
ing the walls of earth made the acci-
dent possible. Sorenson was aware Of
the danger of the excavation, as he
warned others yesterday of the same.
The ditch was being excavated, to
make sewer connections with the new
Taber building on Main street, west
Of The ALERT office, and Sorenson
had taken the contract. The trench
had been nearly completed, but delay
in getting the tile had been expert.
enced. Rains and exposure to the air
had loosened the dirt and shale to
such an extent that the men working
in the ditch yesterday were fearful of
an accident, and one refused to work
there longer. A third man was stand
ing on the topof the ditch about TO
descend to help Sorenson, when the
dirt caved in.
| Fred SOrensOn was a well-knOwn
resident Of the city and a fine young
nan. His death will be matter of
sincere regret with a wide circle of
acquaintances. He leaves wife and
an adopted child. By industry and
saving his wages he had acquired a
little home on the south side, which
he was endeavoring to improve. His
wife is in acritical state of excitement
aud grief over the fatal affair.
The deceased was 81 years Of age,
and was born in Denmark. He was
member of the Forresters' lodge at st.
Paul, and has resided here about three
years.
Funeral arrangements will be an
nounced as soon as completed.
