KEEP MONEY IN IOWA.
tRETURNs ON INVESTMENTS HERE
| BETTER AND SAFER THAN
ELSEWHERE.

Des Moines, Nov. 1.-THE Greater
Des MONIES committee expect to start
shortly campaign of education to in
duce Des Moines and Iowa people to
invest their money in Des Moines and
Iowa projects SO far as possible. The
plan was suggested several months
ago but owing to other more urgent
matters coming up, the crusade in its
behalf was postponed.
1t is planned to show the people gen
orally that just as good returns can be
secured on money invested in Iowa as
elsewhere, and also that there is not
near the risk attached to it that there
is to schemes far away. An endeayor
will be made to show the undeveloped
resources of Iowa, why certain kinds
of factories not operated here now
can and should be made success, of
the room there is for new interurbans,
etc.
1t is likely that the matter will be
| launched at general meeting of the
business men who will determine the
steps to be taken to urge upon home
people the value of home Investments.
It Is claimed that every year several
millions of dollars go out of Iowa for
projects in other states that are not
nearly as good as the opportunities at
home and in addition to the direct re-
turn secured on home investments,
they would serve to build up the state
generally and make the other holdings
of the people more valuable.

ANOTHER REPLY
FROM GOVERNOR
cuMMINs INFORMS MINISTER'S
WHAT HE WOULD DO IN CASE
OF DAVENPORT RIOTS.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 12.-In his
statement to the ministers yesterday
afternoon Governor Cummins said that
if he had had the least intimation that
trouble was likely to arise in Daven-
port at the trial of the liquor cases
there, he would have had the militia in
on the first train on his own motion.
He said that Captain Neal told MIN ne
did not want to return to Davenport,
but that he assured Captain Neal that
If he did want to return, and the OF
hcers of Davenport would not protect
him he, the governor, would employ
every soldier in the National Guard
and every dollar in the treasury, II
necessary, to make it sure that he
could pursue his profession in abso.
lutte security" This statement was
made to Neal in the presence of Attor.
ney General Byers and others.
Difference in Laws.
In speaking of his ability to enforce
the law the governor says the gov.
ernor of Missouri has the right to re
move ofnc1alS, and the governor oil
New York has the right to remove
them without a hearing. In Iowa the
legislature has provided for the en-.
forcement of the liquor laws by grand
and petit juries, and he thought it un
fortunate that many newspapers and
persons who seek to bring him into
disrepute blindly ignore this differ
ence in the laws. He said that he
would be worse than the illegal saloon
keeper if he broke one law to enforce
another, after taking an oath to up
hold the constitution. Yet every day
he said he was asked to do that in an,
peals to grant new trials, to undo com.
mercial transactions, to restore child
rem to parents and otherwise inter.
fere with the machinery of justice as
provided by the Legislature.

MYSTERIOUS WRECK OF FLYER
Dcrailing of Winnipeg Flyer Mt Osseo.
MIMI, is OccasiOning Much Talk.

The mystery surrounding the wreck
ing of the Winnipeg flyer near Osseo,
Him., on Saturday may lead to an in
vestigation of the causes surrounding
the accident. Three persons were in
jured in the wreck.
The wreck was caused by spread
ing of the rails and it has just come
to light that this spreading of the
rails was due to the fact that for three
miles the bolts had been cut from the
fish plates thus allowing lee way of
more than an inch at the joints. The
bolts cut of inside the rail lay in the
snow but how the bolts were cut is
the surprising part of the whole pro-
ceedinS.
The officials of the road refuse to
make any statement except perhaps to
state that freight bound for Crook
ston and Grand Forks went over the
track Saturday night and that one car
was derailed. This they say, may have
caused the fianges to cut the bolts.
They do not say what caused the freight
car to leave the rtack. Another theory
put forward by a railroad man is that
a defective flanger, a railroad devise
for cutting out ice and snow near the
rails, had passed and had cut the bolts
without injuring the rails or ties.
1t is probable that a full investiga-
ton will be made.

81 know from personal experience,
that the Great Northern, at least, is

while enroute from Bisbee to Grand

THE COAL SITUATION
WILL Be TAKEN
UP AGAIN
Senator Hansbrough Decides
to Take Matter Up Before
President Roosevelt.
COMMERCE COMMISSION
Goes After the Railroads
Again-Coal Being Held
in Minnesota.
COMMERCE. COMMISSION

The Associated Press gives the fol-
lowing account of the coal situation
today: The coal famine situation in
North Dakota has become so serious
that Senator Hansbrough will confer
with President Roosevelt tonight to
see if federal means cannot be found
to relieve the situation. Before taking
this course, however, the senator sent
a telegram to Governor Burke. ask
ing whether the state authorities will
be able to find a way to clear the
blockade and let into the state a coal
supply.
That the governor will be able to
meet the situation without assistance
is regarded as unlikely. kilograms
from North Dakota appealing for relief
were laid before the interstate COM
merce commission by Senator Hans
brough today. Some of these dis
patches declare that the statement is
sued by the Great Northern railroad
that the blockade had been lifted is
not true. 1t is said also that a large
supply of coal destined for North Da-
kota is being held at a junction point
in Minnesota pending the settlement
OF the demurrage charges on cars. This
charge is being investigated by the
interstate commerce commission.
The interstate commerce commits
sion has called the attention of rail-
roads interested to the renewed COM
plants which have recently been sent
out from North Dakota regarding
shortage of coal and other supplies
and asked them to relieve the situa-
ton. A recent dispatch from CAL
vim, said that place was almost out
of coal and no relief was in sight. Out
of eighteen cars consigned to that
town since Dec /, only four have been
received. A Hastings dispatch said
there was no fuel or flour on hand
and that people were suffering.

DIVORCES IN GRAND
FORKS COUNTY
MANY
During Last Five Years 157
Made Application for Sew
erance of Ties.

Clerk of Court Spaulding has fig
ured it out that within the past five
years there have been 157 applications
for divorce in Grand Forks county,
with but a small percentage that have
not been granted. Within the past
twenty years or from the period be-
tween Jan. 1, 1887 to Dec 81, 1906 the
number of applications is $40.
On Monday the clerk of court re-
ceived letter from the census bureau
at Washington asking him to procure
these divorce statistics from Grand
Forks county, the figures to be used
in the census report of the United
States to be used in turn for socialo-
gical and study purposes. The bureau
enclosed blanks for each application
requiring the name, residence, causes
of asking for divorce and a variety
of other questions relative to each
suit.
The statistics were secured by
Clerk of Court Spaulding only by dint
of hard work and represent consider
able labor.
He states that the reasons assigned
as good causes for divorce are multi
tudinous as rain drops and include
everything from throwing the cat into
the fire to chewing gum on Sunday.

WANTS APPOINTMENT
As TRAVELLING
INSPECTOR
A Petition Being Circulated
Among Travellers and Bust
ness Men.
HERB. w. MUM OF G. F.
Is the Candidate for the Posi-
tion-Paper Has Over 200
Signatures,
HERB. w. MUM OF G. F

A petition, which is being literally
signed by travelling men and business
men alike, which asks of Governor
Burke in the event of the passage of
the Taylor Hotel Inspection bill, that
he appoint as travelling inspector Mr..
Herbert W. Num- of Grand Forks, was
started on its rounds in this city yes
terday. The sentiment as expressed
by number of travelling men yester-
day was in effect that better man for
the position than Mr.. Num- would be
hard to find. He has travelled in this
state for a number of years and is in a
first class position to completely un-
derstand the conditions which have
existed and which it is hoped the new
law will remedy.
The petition when seen this morn
ing bore the signatures of about two
hundred persons.
Senator Taylor's proposed measure
will prove one of the most popular
laws OF the present session of the leg
islature. The travelling inspector
provided for in the measure receives
no salary, his remuneration being
cared for in the shape of inspection
