WILL HUNT BIG GAME
Roosevelt TO Leave for Africa
Some Time in April Next
EXPECTS TO BE GONE A YEAR
Will Be Accompanied by His Son ker-
nit and Will Visit the Dark
Continent Only.

Washington, June 6.-Important sig
nificance in connection with President
Roosevelt's determination against a
third term is contained in the admis-
president is making definite plans to
leave the United States in April next
year for Africa, where he will spend
a year hunting big game. Rumors
that Mr.. Roosevelt was to leave the
country at the conclusion of his term
of office have been printed heretofore.
When confirmation was sought at the
White House the answer has been
that no definite conclusion had been
reached as to the presidents plans.
But now it is stated positively that
Mr.. Roosevelt, with his son Kermit,
would sail from New York for Cairo
in April, 1909-just as soon as the
necessary arrangements for the de-
parture could be made after March 4.
1t is the desire of the president to
bring back at the end of the year
from the wilds of Africa specimens of
every species of big game to be had
on the Dark Continent. He will visit
no other country, it is stated.
The outfit for the expedition will be
obtained on reaching Africa, but an
active correspondence in this connec-
ton already is under way. The exact
size of the hunting party-number of
guides and r%etainers, animals, ETC.
has not been determined o n The pres
ident, however, will take with him an
assortment Of arms which he will re-
quire in the variety of hunting con-
templated. This outfit will include, of
course, guns of the highest power.
During the absence of Mr.. Roosevelt
in Africa Mrs. Roosevelt and other
members OF the family will remain at
the family home at Sycamore Hill,
Oyster Bav.

ROOSEVELT SLIGHTLY HURT
President Has a Narrow Es-
cape From Death.

Washington, June 4.-President
Roosevelt narrowly escaped serious
accident, perhaps death, when a new
saddle horse he was riding fell back
ward from the bank of the stream
after fording Rock creek. But for the
presidents q%uickness in throwing HIM
self from the saddle, and but for the
fortunate circumstance that the ami
NAL in regaining his feet turned away
from and not toward him, Mr.. Roose-
welt might have been killed, or at least
terribly crushed.
AS it was, he received a number of
bruises and feels rather lame Gin
spots" After wading out of the creek,
the president and his orderly caught
the frightened horse, the executive re.
mounted, and rode the beast for an
hour and a half before returning to
the White House.
The president isn't certain how he
landed in the water, whether on his
back or on his stomach. He didn't
have time to notice, he says, "for
things were happening middling quick
then"
The fall from the horses back to
the stream bed was a distance of
more than ten feet. The stream was
about two feet deep, with an exceed
ingly rocky bed.

APPEALS TO HIGHER COURT
Standard Oil Company Keeps Up Fight
On Custer Proceedings.

The case of the Standard Oil COM
pany will go to the state supreme
court upon the constitutionality of the
law regulating trusts that gives the
secretary of state power summarily to
revoke the license of a foreign cor
poration to do business in the state.
The matter was presented to the dis
trict court at Bismarck in an applica-
ton for a writ of certiorari to COM
pel the secretary Of state to show
cause why the proceedings in custer
started by him should not be dis
missed. Attorney John S. Watson of
Fargo and Attorney Stewart, general
counsel for the Standard at Chicago,
presented the case, arguing that an
effort was being made to deprive the
defendant of it's rights and property
without due process of law, in a pro-
ceeding judicial in its nature, before
the secretary of state, who was only
an administrative officer. Attorney
General McCue spoke in support of the
law and defended the couse that had
been taken.
Judge Winchester at the close Of
the hearing held the law constitution
al, but granted a stay in the proceed
ings before the secretary of state until
an appeal is taken and the case can
be passed upon by the appellate court.
Steps were at one taken by the at
torneys for the Standard to perfect
their appeal. In the meantime the
proceedings in custer are suspended.

head on on a curve, which prevented
the motormen seeing each others
cars until too late to avoid the catas-
trophe. The road is a single track
one on the Annapolis branch and a
confusion n disregard of orders is
said to have been the cause of the
wreck. The dead are: William L.

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION
Meeting at Larimore Discusses the
Subject and Favors State Aid to
Good Roadways.

The state good roads convention
was called to order at Larimore by
Anthony Stonehouse, who welcomed
the visitors, after which he introduced
President j. P. Worst of Fargo, who
spoke on the good roads movement.
He was followed by T. B. Atkinson of
Bismarck on scientific road making,
and Robert M. Dolve spoke on local
roads.
George w. Cooley of St. Paul fol-
lowed, taking for his subject road en-
cheering, after which c. NJ. Porter
spoke On road drags. The following
officers were elected: President, A.
T. Hunter, Grand Forks; vice presi-
dent. R. M. Dolve. Fargo; secretary,
Thomas H. Hughes, Larimore. The fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, the State of North Dakota
has no state highway commission and
no system of state aid to good roads;
and whereas the present system has
resulted in the expenditure of an
enormous sum of money in the aggre-
gate with no adequate return and no
Pei lAttllGuC IOduS duu whereas, Under
the township system it is not possible
to secure a uniform system of good
roads, and it is both inefficient and
wasteful; and whereas, the roads are
the arteries of the state through
which the commerce of the state cir
c%ulates, and upon its free circulation
depends the life of the state; and
whereas, nothing can contribute more
to the prosperity and happiness of the
state than a system of good roads,
therefore be it
Resolved, That we are in favor Of
state aid TO good roads, to be built un-
der the direction and paid for upon
the approval of a competent highway
commission, whose further duty it
shall be to give advice and furnish
plans and specifications to the end
that the highways of the state be built
in a uniform and permanent manner;
and be it further
Resolved, That the eleventh legisla-
tive assembly be and they are hereby
petitioned to enact such legislation.
