TO CARRY AMERICAN WHEAT.
Canadian Pacific Seeks t. Load Cars
on This Side Of the Border.

Canadian Pacific Seeks t. Load Cars
on This Side Of the Border.
Canadian Pacific officials have been
in Langdon recently for the purpose of
comforting with local parties inter-
ested in land near the boundary with
a view of extending the road across
the line at Mowbray, so as to allow
the shipping of grain in bond through
Canada. An extension of only few
hundred feet would be necessary in
order to bring the track across the
line sufficiently to allow the loading
of cars on this SIDE 1t seems that
under the Canadian law wheat hauled
across the line in wagons cannot be
shipped in bond, but, if car is loaded
and sealed on this side, it can be. The
regulations on this side are different,
as grain can be brought across in any
quantity by the farmers, and either
loaded in cars or sold to the bonded
elevator on this side. In case the
Canadian Pacific should decide to ex-
tend across the line at Mowbray it
will mean, it is said here, the hauling
of thousands of bushels of grain from
the American side of the line through
Canada that has heretofore been mar
keted at Langdon, Dresden, Wales and
Hannah, as farmers would take adj
vantage of the shorter haul to load
their wheat.

After a search lasting six hours,
Sheriff Hankey found his prisoner,
Sam Winters, alias ]. J. De Mess, alias
Anton Shore, the horse thief. who es-
capped from jail in the timber near
Martin Hollis farm home, about two
and half miles west of Grafton. When
found he had large piece of rock in
his hand, which he hurled at the sher-
IFS head. but fortunately missed his
mark. He was taken to Town and
placed in his cell again, where he will
await his trial at the next term of dis
trict court.
Winters engaged team at the Giles
livery early last summer, saying he
would be back the following day. He
failed to return, and no clue was
found as to his whereabouts until six
weeks later, when he was captured in
Manitoba and brought to Grafton and
lodged in jail The horses had been
sold, but were found and returned to
the owner. Hiram Giles.

The Fore River Shipbuilding Co. has
the contract for building the North
Dakota, which will not be completed
for three years.
The friends of the late Admiral
Sampson, whose flagship was the
cruiser New York, in the Santiago
campaign, united with North Dakota
people in protesting against the plan
of the navy department for changing
the name of the New York, thereby
also cutting out the use of the name
North Dakota, and President Roose-
Welt has needed the protest and recog-
nized the claims of the North Dakota
people.
Following a custom that has pre-.
vailed in the navy department for
years past, it is incumbent upon the
people of state after which a battle
ship has been named 30 present the
ship with silver service ut the time
the man-of-war is christened or be-
fore the vessel is formally placed in
commission. Therefore it is now up
to the citizens of North Dakota to pre-
pare some plan by which this gift to
the North Dakota shall be secured.
Some states have presented their
battleshfps with a complete silver
service for the officers mess which
costs many thousands of dollars. On
the other hand, several of the COM
monwealths have given only a silver
punch bowl and the appointments that
go with it,
The people of North Dakota, how
ever. will not be content with furnish
ing it's new battleship, which is to be
the pride of the navy, with service
unless it is as good, ii not better, than
that given by any other state.
To raise funds with which to pur-
chase silver service, many methods
have been used in other states. In
some the public school children of the

President Roosevelt acted with char

ed 20,000-ton battleship, the New York,
but must insist that it be named the
North Dakota. The argument at the
navy department during the summer,
which resulted in the name New York
being selected for this fighting ma
chine. had for its base the fact that
New York is the leading state in the
union. and that, therefore, the biggest
battleship ought to be named after it.
The presidents argument was to the
effect that the size of the state ought
to cut no figures in these matters. 1t
is the policy of the department to
name the battleships after the states,
and Utah and North Dakota are the
only ones not thus far honored in that
way. There were three of these states,
until it was decided during the sum.
mer to name one of the 2O,O0O-ton
ships the Delaware.
The president held that it was un-
fair to North Dakota and Utah to re-
name the armored cruiser New York
in order to pave the way to giving
the name of the empire state to one
of the big fighting ships. He agreed
that the department was right in
naming the other ship the Delaware.
The presidents decision rather upset
the navy officers, who had planned
that the recommendation of the de.
partment was to stand as made.
Ever since the new North Dakota
was designed, the navy department
has endeavored to keep secret the de.
tails of her construction. All the ser.
vice papers, however. both here and
abroad, have had descriptions of her
which are said to be accurate. Ac.
cording to them the North Dakota

state have contributed the necessary
funds to purchase the gift, while in
other states the money has been raised
by popular subscription. Or, in case
North Dakota has a citizen who would
come forward and present the state
with beautiful service, the matter
OF purchasing service would be
easily solved. This course has been
followed in certain states in late years.
The next legislature, which will con-
vene in 1909. could also assist in buy
ing suitable present for the battle
ship by appropriating $4,000 or even
$4,000.
Who will be the lucky North Dakota
girl who will be selected to christen
the North Dakota, when she first
glides into the waters at the navy
yard?
This question has no doubt been
asked great many times during the
past few days. In all probability, fol-
lowing an established precedent in
other states, the senior United States
senator is given the choice Of the girl
to !christen the battleship. In North
Dakota Senator Hansbrough is the
oldest member Of the upper house Of
congress. and he viii protkbly name
