ner.
Il am making this trip over the
state principally to stir the people up
to securing some laws for the preven-
ton of child labor. OF course, such
laws are not needed just at present,
that is done, but this is the time when
such laws should be made for the
good of the manufacturer as we'll as
the laboring people.
Il would also like to see laws passed
instituting labor commissioner with
several assistants, and also a factory
inspector. Minnesota now has a COM
missioner and fifteen deputies and an

the Northern Pacific railroad has been
in the vicinity of Mandan during the
past week, arranging for the right-of-
way for the branch line south of that
city, This means that in the near

This will give an added impetus to

convenience to the farmers who now
have long distance to haul their
grain and their products of the farm
to market.
The building Of new lines will open
out a large territory of country which

good for some enterprising firm to
open out jobbing house in Mandan
to supply the trade tributary to it.

DEN MARK.

There have been curious rumors
concerning the school ship, The Vik-
ing. These have been to the effect
that conditions On the ship have been
of bad nature and that the students
have been abused, or maltreated.
what seemed to confirm these rumors
was the desertion Of several students
in South America and the removal OF
the captain. However, it develops
that there is no foundation for all
this. The captain was not removed
because of cruelty to the boys, but
rather because he was not able to
keep peace among the officers Of the
ship. The students who left the ship
in South America deserted because of
their love of adventure. Before en-
listing they announced their intention
of seeking adventure at the first OPP
portunity.

sion is secret body and its members
are supposed to keep all of it's acts
from the public. So drastic were the
late disclosures Of the paper in uues-
ton that the commission became sus.
picious that it's secrets were being
given away by one or more of the
members, and an Investigation was
ordered. The responsible editor was
summoned to testify, and with him at
the hearing appeared a Mr.. Borg
bjerg, who acknowledges himself az
the author of the articles. He testi.
fed that he based the articles on re.
ports in foreign military papers and
on articles published in the provincial
press, as we'll as on reports going the
rounds in government circles. No
member Of the commission has given
him information, he said. The inyes.
tigation was adjourned till a future
date, to allow Mr. Borgbjerg time to
furnish proofs of his information.
