MORE HoNoRFOR COMMON SOLDIERS
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT MAY BE
HEARD ON THE SUBJECT
IN FUTURE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 81
President Roosevelt may be heard from
later in regard to the uniform Of en-
listed men of the army and navy. His
expression, if one is forthcoming, will
be directed against those people, in
cluding officers of the service, who
feel that there is something objec-
tionable in the presence near them of
a man dressed as a soldier or sailor.
There is no attempt to disguise the
fact that the president heartily ap-
proves of the action of the army Off
Ger who recently preferred charges
against a subordinate officer when the
latter requested a soldier to leave his
seat and go into another part Of the
theater The president is described
as desiring to make some expression
of his approval of an action which
would bring before a military court
an officer who has what Mr.. Roosevelt
regards as an entirely improper sem
timent respecting an enlisted man. He
feels that anything he may do in the
way Of personal or official expression
would he in the interests of the SER
vice and would be defense of the uni
form, which is evidently greatly need

Faulty Work Comes to Light in
East Main Street Structure.
ROLLER ALMOST DROPPED INTO CREEK
One Whole Section Will Probably Have
to Be Entirely Done Over at
Considerable Expense.

Faulty construction work in repair
ing the East Main street bridge nearly
precipitated the big steam roller of the
Warren Construction company into
Mill creek this morning while crew
was at work paving the south side OF
the. bridge with bituithic. While roll
ing the binder the big roller suddenly
gave a lurch and one of the huge rear
wheels sank clear through the bridge.
A crowd watching the men at work
scattered when the big roller lurched
over, and it looked for minute as IL
the whole south side of the bridge
would collapse and precipitate the
roller into Mill creek.
A big timber was hastily placed be-
meath the wheels to prevent the heavy
weight from going clear through, and
a crew of men set to work lacking
the roller out Of it's dangerous position.
EXPERT bridge men who viewed tne
wreck said the accident was caused by
faulty construction work in laying the
concrete foundation. The bridge, ac-
cording to the contract with the War
rem company, is estimated to carry
weight of at least $4,000 pounds. The
roller weighs less than 10000 pounds
loaded,
The accident will probably result i'm
the bridge being subjected to severe
tests before it is finally accepted by
the council. The repairing of the
structure was given to the Warren
company at cost of approximately
$4,000.

Found Buried in Snow.

GRAND RAPIDS, Wis, Jan. 81
The body of Lulu Ostrum, the daughter
of H. E. Ostrum, of NekoOsa, was
found in the snow about II miles
southeast of this city. The cause of
her death is wrapped in mystery. The
girl was 1S years of age and was we'll
known in Nekoosa. Her body was dis
covered On the side of the road deep In
the snow on the line between Wood
and NekooSa.
There are no marks of violence on
the body and the officers are at sea as
to the cause of the young woman's
death. 1t is not believed here that she
could have succumbed to the cold. The
theory that she may nave been muir
dered is given credence.

LONDON, JAN Silt is asserted
here on good authority that the un-

Carnegie.
Most of the men elected were un-
able to bear the expenses of their cam

Spokane Newspaper Brings Out a

WARREN ". ToLHAa A POSSIBILITY
Who Is Said to Be the Strongest Man
In the Democratic Field in
the State.

A mild and early agitation as TO
Spokane's chances of naming the next
governor of the state of Washington,
who is to be elected in 1908 apepars
to have been started by Leo Walton,
the well-known expert on oratorical
affairs. says the Spokane Chronicle
While Mr.. Walton may not be accused
of wanting Governor Mead's job for
himself, a publication of which he is
editor turns the limelight on several
other Spokane men in this way:
The question of having a repre-
sentative in congress from Spokane
has aroused considerable interest in
the matter of the election of the gov
ernor There are many who believe
that Spokane should have that distinc-
tion even if it was necessary to fore
the upper house of congress. Tney
point to the fact that Spokane has a
number of strong men in both parties
who are able and would fill the office
with dignity.
Among the republicans is D. T
Ham. whose friends urged him to per-

life raft Frank Richley, a fireman,
with the Bunker party, said ne could
have reached the cliff over the wreck,
but the other members of the party
got "cold feet" and he could not go

intended to be a whitewash for the
inspectors for allowing such conditions

Sentiment to be Inculcated.
KELSEY'S RAILROAD.

1t is certain that the most import
ant proposition to this city that has
been made for some time is that Of
w. H. Kelsey for the construction Of
a number of railroad lines extending
from the city to the trunk lines
which traverse the state. 1t is true
that he asks big bonus if the money
alone is to be considered. But the
advantages would, it is believed, be
found sufficient to justify the dona-
ton asked. But his plan has some
objections.
The Evening Times believes that
the best connection with the northern
line of the 500 is a line built by that
company direct to this city. 1t stat
ed this position before the plan pro-
posed by Mr.. Kelsey was suggested.
1t did this believing that it was I'M
portant to the shipping interests of
the city that they should have direct
connection with the towns on that
line of railroad without the delays
caused by transfers and the making
of connections. This position was
taken on the gounds that to meet
competition in that territory so vigor-
ously as to command the entire field
for the benefit of Grand Forks as
against twin cities and Duluth mer-
chants, quick deliveries were neces-
sary. The advantages in prices were
favorable to our people as would also
be the freight rates under this plan.
For this reason, we agree with, the
committee of the Commercial club as
to the inexpendiency Of donating to
this particular line.
But the line southwest is an entirely
different proposition. When the only
railroad on our south which, so to
speak, cut off the territory from
Grand Forks, was the one running
from the south and connecting with
the main line at Larimore, there was
little to fear in the way of competi-
ton from that direction. But the
building of the Aneta extension to
Devils Lake, it must be admitted, has
somewhat changed conditions. I'm
doubtedly the Great Northern will
make that the through line from the
south and if such be true it must be
admitted however reluctantly that

ROADS AND TOWNS.

A number of the newspapers of the
state have taken up the agitation in
favor of the contraction of good roads
leading into the several towns. The
matter is opportune, as the various
townships will elect their township
officers in March and upon the men
so selected will in a large measure
depend the matter of constructing
these roads.
It has been so often called to the
attention of the business men that
repetition seems superfuous, that
the one thing which will build up the
trade Of any town is the convenience
with which the farmers of the con-
tributory territory can reach it, not
alone with their carriages when they
bring their wives and children to town
on shopping tours, but more especial
ly when they are marketing their
crops.
1t may be possible that farmer will
market his grain at one point and car
~ his money across country to some
other town to do his purchasing, when
the reason for such change is the con-
dition Of the roads, but it is not among
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-12-21
the probabilities.

tue prODdDllltleS.
The probable solution of the road
question for the smaller towns is to
build from the leading farming Sec
tons in the surrounding territory
main roads leading to the town and
so construct these that they will be in
good condition practically all the
year, and then when these are in
shape, to give attention to the ones
leading to them. In this way every
farmer would have the greater dis
lance between his farm and his mar
ket over a good road, and he would
thus be forced because of self inter-
est to market at his own town.
The best method of constructing a
substantial roadway in a fiat coun-
try with a subsoil such as is found
in nearly every part of this state, is
difficult proposition. But it is not
among the things impossible of solu-
ton. Incidentally, it will be interest
ing to the farmers throughout the
state to know that the sample roads
constructed in the state by the bureau
of good roads of the agricultural de-
partment of the national government
have proven to be impractical. The
cost in the first place is prohibitive
upon the communities. The piece
which was constructed near this city
was built of crushed granite, coarse
at the bottom and finer for the sur
face. This is in fairly good condi-
ton after three years, but the surfac-
ing has tendency to sink into the
subsoil in wet weather and in some
places has done this to such an extent
that mud holes now are found in wet
weather.
The truth is that the best road
when the practicability is considered,
is dirt one, so graded up that the
water table is far below the surface
of the road and the bitches so con-
structed that they will carry of the
water which falls on the roadbed. To
this must be added smooth and COM
pact surface so that water will not
stand on the same and permit the mix
ing of mud and the enlargement OF
mudholes by every passing team. Tn.
split log drag which has been tried
extensively in Minnesota and other
states which are engaged in the con-
struction of good roads, will keep the
surface in splendid condition at a re.
markedly low cost.

meeting of the citizens at the Com.

would not only have all the advant
ages of low prices but It would be en-
abled to decide between the merits O
the several kinds of material to mucl
better advantage.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-12-21

Fargo would be in better position to
supply the trade of that territory, If
it had the wholesale houses, than this
city would be. But if We had a line
angling this one and reaching out into
the territory beyond that contributory
to the line connecting at Larimore as
we'll as the one connecting at Devils
Lake, we would be in position to meet
competition on these two lines and
supply the territory contributory to
them and at the same time We could
reach into the territory beyond both
these Ines and which is now supplied
from other points, and capture the
trade of the same for our own people.
It might have the appearance of a
pipe dream, but such line might be
so extended as to reach into the south
west of the older portion of the state.
Crossing the other lines at Valley
City, or some such advantageous point.
it is possible that it could be made to
supply the needs of crossing lines for
the roads in the southern part of the
state and by so doing the rich trade
territory comprising Logan, LaMoure.
Mcintosh and Dickey counties could
be so connected with the state
metropolis that it would be found adj
vantageous to make it a trading GEN.
tire for the people doing business
there.
One thing might we'll be remem-
bered. Railroads make and unmake
cities. But when the city builds its
own railroads it can plan and build
them for its own rather than its op-
ponent's advantage.
