Northern Pacific Extension.

Minneapolis Journal: Residents of
Turtle Lake, N. D., and vicinity be-
lieve the Northern Pacific has aban-
doned its original plan to extend the
branch which now runs from Car
rington to Turtle Lake, across the
western portion of the state.
DR.. H. Miller, formerly of Hamline,
and now a resident of Turtle Lake,
says it is probable the extensions of
the Milwaukee and 500 roads have
caused this decision on the part of the
Northern Pacific. DR.. Miller was at
the Hotel Nicollet today.
THE 500 has extended its tracks
from Drake to Garrison about eighty
five miles," said DR.. Miller, bring
ing the road to within fifteen or six
teen miles of Turtle Lake. There is
talk of the Milwaukee's building from
Minot to Aberdeen. Thus much of the
territory through which the extension
of the Northern Pacific was to run is
pretty well taken up.
THE fact that Turtle Lake will
probably be the terminal of the line
is booming that district of the coun-
try. There are but $50 people at the
town now. but the road only got in
there last December. and this spring
large number of people will come in.
The old town of Turtle Lake. three
miles away from the railroad, has
been moved to the new townsite. Not
only did the people come. but a num-
Der of the buildings were moved
across country.
There are number of lakes in the
vicinity of the town - Turtle lake,
Crooked lake. Strawberry lake and
others-and for fishing ind hunting
there can't be found more desirable

THE BOYCOTT AND.
GOTTEN GOODS
AFFECTED
Consul Anderson Writes Valu-
able Report on Trade
Situation.


Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington. D. c., May 14.-Consul
Anderson. before leaving Annoy for his
new post in Brazil. wrote valuable
report on the trade situation there as
affecting American commerce, espec-
tally relating to cotton goods, He says:
The statement was made in a re-
port from this consulate last year that
American cotton manufacturers had
received practically no introduction in
the markets of this portion " China.
How we'll founded this s:~ament was
can clearly be seen from the fact that
while the whole of the northern pOr-
ton of China has been taking more
cotton manufacturers from the United
States during the past year than has
ever been taken before, there has been
practically no change in American ex-
ports of cotton to the Annoy district.
On the other hand, the anti-American
boycott in Annoy had practically no
affect upon the American cotton trade
for the simple reason that what Ameri-
can cotton goods are sold here are not
recognized as American goods, so lit
tie do American interests enter into
the situation. Great Britain and Japan
continue TO furnish the bulk of the
cotton imports in this portion of China.
The vast increase in cotton exports
from the United States to north China
districts during the past year has
demonstrated that the United States
can sell goods to China if the matter
is gone at in the right manner. The
increase has demonstrated that not
only is it economically possible to sell
American cotton goods, but that they
can be sold in overwhelming volume
under proper conditions. In spite of
the fact that British cotton interests
have been working up their trade in
China for about seventy years, Ameri-
can cottons have gone into north China
against cottons from Great Britain and
every other nation. 1t certainly would
be difficult to explain the fact that
American cotton goods are coming into
south China districts very little, if at
all. upon any other hypothesis than
American neglect or poor sales man.

This Is merely term intended to cast
a reflection on the state republican
organization. with no good ground or
argument to back it up. Without an
organization. says the colonel, where
would the party be?
The insurgents use the word gang"
In an offensive sense. to create pre-
judice against the older organization
and at the same time cover up their
own secret work of selecting candi-
dates for the various Offices, giving the
rank and file no voice in the choice
and domineering over the faction of
the party they are trying to form, for
purely selfish purposes. Everyone
who knows the insurgent leaders Is
we'll aware that they are not men who
would cheerfully become martyrs in a
holy cause. or who devote their time
and efforts to their fellow men for
purely humanitarian purposes.
The term gang" can be equally as
we'll applied to the insurgent opposi-
ton as to the regular republican Or
ganizatiOn of the party; in fact. con-
sidering the tactics the insurgents are
at present employing to build up an
organization. the term can be more
properly used to refer to them than
any other descriptive term.
The present state administration has
been run along good business lines
and the insurgent leaders. having fail
ed to point out any real grievance or
mismanagement of the party affairs
are compelled to resort to cry
against the gang" With this sole
argument the leaders are striving to
get control of the state convention to
nominate certain aspirants for Office
chiefly men who have failed to secure
denominations. or have not yet been
recognized with nominations by the
party in it's biennial conventions.
In some states and cities it becomes
necessary to turn down what are in
reality gangs of political freebooters
who get in Office and assume right
to plumber the public from the power
conferred on them by law or custom.
But the present assault on the party
organization of this state is without
any good cause or reason, and, under
the circumstances, the voters are not
going to respond to the frantic ap-
peals of the insurgent leaders as they
hope.
1t is claimed that the people are
going to display a great political up
heaval and that many counties are
going to pass into the control of the
insurgent leaders this fall But en-
perience shows that no upheaval fol-
lows when there is no good reason
for it, or without there is widespread
knowledge of necessity for such
movement at the polls.
There may be few counties where
local political factions are striving for
precedence, and where the insurgents
will try to take advantage of such
local differences to gain a following.
But these counties are few. The pres
ent party organization has given to
the republicans of the state generally
honorable and capable efforts and the
results are open to inspection.
The republicans of the state are not
going to disrupt the present organiza-
ton to please few insurgent leaders
who use the term gang as their only
argument.

Farming in the Moon.

The following. article has been sub
m nnt Tor Pupil Siblication in this depart
space1Ed. :" w" - gwen
The Germans, so far as we are able
to learn, give more attention to plant
ing in the right time of the moon, than
any other nation. Whether it is be-
cause of their greater interest in gar
dening or because they are better as
tronomers or astrologists or from some
other cause, we have not learned, but
it has been our observation that they
are very successful gardeners and
that they do study the conditions of
the moon before planting.
AS we understand the situation, the
rule is to plant potatoes, turnips, rad
ishes, onions and all plants that bear
under ground, in the decline of the
moon, and all other vegetation which
bears above the ground when the moon
is on the increase.
Those who have given attention to
these matters say they are positive
that results will prove there is truth
in it.
We knew one gentleman who claims
that meat is affected greatly by killing
in the wrong time of the moon. That
it will curl up and fry away to lard,
or in case of beef stew it will shrivel
up and become very tough.
Another gentleman says he knows
from experience that if manure be
spread upon meadow at the wrong
phase it will rise with the growth of
the grass and make cutting very diff
ficult, while if spread at the proper
time it will lie fiat upon the ground
and rot much better.
We have heard that good breeders
of stock consider the phases of the
moon, and by this knowledge are able
to grow animals that will take on
flesh easily
Every careful observer must have
noticed that persons are sickest about
midnight and that greater number
of deaths occur at this time than at
any other period of the day.

A SECOND CHARLEY ROSS.
Search for Stolen Son of Indiana
Newspaper Man-5OO Reward.

There is a reward of $500 for in
formation which will lead to the re-
covery of Richmond Byers, and no
questions will be asked. Will the one
who stole him. If he reads these words.
remember his own parents and be-
cause of the love he bore them return
this little boy to his home?
Richmond Byers, If alive, was six
years old last July, is of light COM
plexion, has gray eyes, left eye notice.
ably crossed, has small V-shaped
nick in the edge of the left ear, has
sharp chin and narrow, projecting
forehead. He is rather small for his
age, and is unusually bright and in
telligent, talking after the fashion of
boy much older.
The above is the description of the
little son Of DR.. S. l.. Byers, who was
stolen from his parents two years ago.
DR.. Byers is an Indiana publisher, and
is devoting all of his time and money
in the search for his boy. The boy
was stolen from Seeleyville, Ind, May
20, 1904. Since that time the father
has spent all of his means in the
search. He is now travelling about
prosecuting the search on a fund of
$1,000 subscribed for that purpose in
Indiana. No little boy who meets his
eye escapes a scrutiny such as only
distracted parent can give. All clews
are being run down, and now an ap-
peal has been made to every news
paper in the land to publish an arti-
Gle about the boy, and to ask every
reader to make investigation of every
strange boy in their neighborhood.
DR.. Byers gives the following state
ment concerning the kidnapping:
After coming from the ball ground
at about S:15 p. III. Sunday, of May
~, 1904, bringing home his tricycle.,
he Immediately left, We supposing he
expected to return to the company of
children at the game. 1t has not been
definitely settled that he got back
there, but he was seen by Mrs. Coffy,
who called him back and asked him
what he had said to a man to whom
he was talking. He told her that he
said to the man: You have black
ened eye, where did you get it? At
the saloon?'
This man was in his shirt sleeves
Now. he had coat somewhere. He
would not have been in town dressed
like that had he been a resident of
any town near here, as everybody was
dressed up, it being the first really
fine Sunday that spring, which makes
me believe he had a wagon some
where near the town. Besides, five
wagons passed through the town that
afternoon and six wagons were to-
gether when they passed through
Terre Haute, eight miles west of here.
One of them came back next day.
Four were overhauled the next night,
but the sixth one has never been over
taken.
"a doctor at Clinton, sixteen miles
from Terre Haute, wrote me that a
covered wagon went into a lane four
miles from his home late that Sunday
night. Now it is the custom for those
rovers to go into camp before sun
down. as they depend on the children
to beg their food and let their emaciat-
ed horses Craze. 1t is useless to try
and convince me that that wagon did
not have my boy in it. And then a
covered wagon was seen over 100
miles north, near the state line, maxi
ing good headway."

WELD AK IN MICHIGAN.
Copper Country Ball Managers Getting
Their Teams in Shape.

Houghton, Mich, May 14.-The de-
velopments of the past few days in
baseball circles in the Copper coun-
try have been many, and they all point
to one fact-the managers of Copper
country teams are intent on securing
men who will be able to hold their
own against the best the northwest
will put forward.
Especially is this true in Hancock,
where Manager Wreath has welded
the AK with fearful effect, and five
baseball players of bush league cali
Der are looking for jobs. Among them
is Clinton Gallagher, who travelled
from Pressure Isle. Me-, to Hancock,
distance of 1000 miles, to try out
for the Hancock team. He paid his
own expenses at that. Gallagher is
likely young fellow, but he needs
a season or two more of amateur or
emi-professional playing before he is
Mt for the Northern-Copper Country
league.
The other men released are Bick,
catcher; Goulet, a pitcher, and Boden
and Walker. outfielders.
To fill the places made vacant by
the releases, Manager Wreath has
Stewart, catcher, who arrived this
week; Eugene Mcdonnell, an out
fielder. who has also arrived; Farrell,
another catcher. who is on his way;
Byers, a second baseman, and an
other outfielder. Stewart has already
shown excellent form behind the bat,
and Mcdonnell, who played in this
district before. is expected to make
good. Farrell comes from Montreal,
touted as wonder, and the other men
have good records. Manager Wreath
is now dickering with first baseman,
who is we'll known here, and pitcher,
who played in the Copper Country
league before. and whose record here
is enyiable. If he succeeds in landing
them. he will have an aggregation
which should show a disposition to
grasp at the pennant before the sea-
son is very far advanced.
Manager Cassiboine of the Hough-
ton team has also been making stren-
uous efforts toward the Strengthening
of his team. Frank Smith, catcher
who led the players of that position
in the Three-I league two years ago,
has arrived in Houghton and is show
ing good form. Beecher, pitcher,
and Donovan. first baseman, have
also put in their appearance, coming
from Terre Haute, where they played
IN the central league. With them
came Ed kippert, an outfielder, who
was with Hancock last year and Dol
lar Bay for two years before that and
who has always played good ball.
Manager Cassiboine has released w.
Smith, local first baseman, whom he
tried and found wanting.

fielder of last years Lake Linden

one more man is needed to complete

pitcher. who is with that team in st.

Manager Morrison of the Calumet
team seems to have just the men he
wants, and the strides that team is
making in the practice games seem to
justify his belief in it.

POLITICS IN MICHIGAN.
Pot is Still Simmering But Not at
Boiling Stage.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Detroit, Mich. May 14.-Michigan is
among the Twenty-Five states to choose
a new governor and other state officers
this fall, but so far the political pot
has not begun to boil. The republicans
have chosen Detroit as the place and
Aug. 8 as the date for holding their
state convention. but the democrats are
still up in the air. From all indications
the latter are likely to have some
difficulty in securing a popular
candidate for governor.
Under the new primary law the
nominations for governor and lieuten-
ant are to be made this year by direct
vote, but the candidates for the re-
mainder of the state officers are to be
nominated by the state conventions.
The indications are that the re-
publicans will renominate all the
present state officers, with the ex-
ception of Lieutenant Governor Matt
land. The second place on the ticket
will in all probability go to Patrick
H. Kelley of Lansing.
