Announcement Of Gen. E. A. Williams for Congress

Bismarck. n. D.. August 21. 1907.
To the republican electors of the state
of North Dakota.
Believing the western part of the
state which has eve had a
representative in congress, is justly
entitled to a part of such recognition,
l announce that ] will be a candidate
for nomination on the republican
ticket for representative in congress
at the primaries to he held on the last
Wednesday in June, 1908. make this
early announcement for the reason
that l believe it to be the duty of every
person who intends to be a candidate
for nomination at such primaries for
an important office, to make known to
the electors of his party that fact, as
we'll as his position on the leading
iss e OF the day, in order that they
may have full time to Judge of his fit
ness for such position.
1 announce that 1 will form no COM
bination with any candidate or c:andi-
dates to bring about my, or their NOM
ination, believing that such a course
would be contrary to the spirit and
meaning of the primary election law,
the enactment Of which was brought
about. in.my judgment. because of
the combining and Signing up" prior
to the assembling of statesa6onven.
tions which made these party con-
ventions mere ratification meetings.
and to bring about the adjustment
of this system was a strong factor In
the enactment Of the primary law.
The .time,. in my opinion, for parti-
sans to combine to promote the
election of the candidates Of
their respective parties is after
the electors have expressed. their
choice Of candidates at the pri-
maries. I therefore appeal directly to
to the republican electors as we'll as
the state for their endorsement at the
primaries next June. for to them I
want to owe my nomination anu
directly answerable for my%antsssaf ~
Having never taken an active part
in the discussion Of party issues inpre-
ceding campaigns, ! feel 1t my duty
to the republican electors as we'll az
myself. to make known my views on at
least a few important questions that
viii come before congress and the.
state Legislature.
As q republican believe in protec.
ton to home industries but favor a
removal Of the duty on lumber and
coal and . general revision Of the tar-
IL schedules, always bearing In mind
however. that cardinal principle, pro:
lection to home industries.

PARK COMMISSIONERS
DISCUSS LOT PROBLEM

The board of park commissioners will
meet this morning.
The principal work scheduled is in
connection with two lots adjoining Ely
sian park
Recently the city bought property on
low ground there and graded uneven
land, filing in the low spaces. When
the ground was surveyed it developed
that two lots belonging to outsiders
had been filled. Negotiations have been
in progress for some time to get those
two lots which by inadvertence of the
city in filing have been largely en-
hanced in value. The owners have not
come to terms.
The council has been asked to order
q gasoline engine of 12-horse power for
Elysian park, the old smaller engine
having outlived its usefulness. 1t has
been found that an engine using dis.
tillate made in Los Angeles eXcels all
Others and this will probably be
bought

steps be taken for the purchase of a

ONE MUSKRAT RUINS BIG DAM
Work of a Score Of Men for Weeks
Undone by Pestiferous Lone
Animal

WEST CHESTER, Pa, Jan. 22.--All
the work of a score of men for several
weeks at the big Lenape dam has gone
for nothing on account of the opera
tions of one little muskrat.
The men built a new breast for the
dam after working for a couple OF
weeks last fall, and the work was
thought TO be complete; but the musk
rat dug a small hole around the end of
the wall and the flood of yesterday
washed out the greater portion of
the work The water in the dam is
now couple of feet lower than for

Miss Leta HorIocker Addresses Cali
fornia Business Women's Associa-
ton on Fields of Womans Work

At the meeting of the California
Pusiness Women's association last
night Miss Leta Horlocker spoke on the
subject art as Applied to Business" "
She said in part:
art is not all painting of pictures.
There are 50 many other things that
take the time and attention of the real
artistic of today.
Take the arts and crafts, In that
line many women today make a good
living doing this work. They are good
artists, but there is little sale for pic
lures. only the few, the real rich can
afford to pay sufficiently for the work
and soul of the artist she must put into
the canvas over which she labors.
I'm the large cities there IS work in
abundance for the drafters of patterns
for model makers wood carving and all
classes Of leather work.
The pottery also furnishes a lucra-
tive work for many and this class or
goods is much in demand

Mrs Catherine Heaton Peck, was
feature OF the evening. She has car
ried the women through this drill from
night to night till they are very pro-
hcient.

He asked the experts to indorse them
section by section and it was at this
point that Mckay rebelled. Soon
afterward the meeting adjourned.
Much comment was caused around
the city hall by the absence of Coun-
Gilman Wallace, one of the committee.
There was, it is understood, much
debate in the committee over whether
the hearing should be open or closed
and whether the Consumers associa-
ton crowd should be admitted. In
some quarters it was said that the
city administration regards the forma-
ton of the association as having some
bearing on the purchase of the gas
plant by the city, over which point
there are reported to be serious diff
ferences of opinion in municipal busi-
ness, investment and political circles.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE VISITS
PRODUCING PLANT
Expert Suggests That Consumers AS
sociation Pay Fee for Informal
tion Desired-lnquiry For
malIy Opens

The councilmanic committee of gas
inquiry visited the plant of the Los
Angeles Gas company yesterday after
noon, Experts Frank Foveaux and
Roderick Mckay accompanying the
members.
The plant was thoroughly examined
with a view to learning where the
causes for the insufficient gas sup
ply here lay and, if possible, a remedy.
The gas officials had over the tele-
phone granted the request that the
committee be allowed to inspect the
establishment, although a similar re-
quest made by the Gas Consumers
association through President Robert
LOucks was turned down.
You merely want to make trouble"
was the cold response the latter re-
ccived over the wires.
FovcauX is widely known in con-
nectiOn with the installation of gas
plants. while Mckay, though in the
service of the water department. was
formerly connected with the gas COM
pany which he is now examining at

The start made by the inquisitOrs
Chairman Lyon presiding in the
mayors ante room, was slow one,
as much of the time was taken up
y
ID. Warner of the Gas Consumers as
sociat ton and the discussion drifted
into the technical and scientific. When
Warner persisted in seeking infOrma-
ton as to certain points on the gas
situation Mckay appealed to the
mayor whether he was obliged 20 dis
cuss thew with a concern that was
not connected with the council inves-
tgation.
1--WE can make our investigation and
answer these gentlemen later" said
Mckay, "of course, sending in our bill
for the information" The mayor re-
torted that he would be paid by the
city.
Fovcaux grew a little restless at
being enlightened on technical. matters
by Mckay, the latter differing ON all
points.
Holders Not Needed
When the technical discussion, led
by Mckay, had dragged. the mayor
asked Foveaux If it We're possible to
distribute gas three miles from the
big holder ON Seventh street and give
a proper service. Foveaux replied that
il would be, provided the mains were
large enough.
"Then nothing viii be gained by
building holders around town.
1T will not be necessary to build
holders anywhere. A holder nowadays
has a storage capacity and is not a
pressure regulator. The city has out
grown the distribution system. In or
der to relieve the condition said to be
existing it is necessary to put in still
smaller mains and connect these small
er mains with a low pressure system
and carry a high pressure in the feed
