Locomotives Rushed From Fargo to
to Mandan, Where Twenty Trains
Lack Motive Power.
That shere is congestion of traffic in
North Dakota at the present time was
made known at Fargo last week when
orders were received at the Northern
Pacific Offices to rush engines and
crews light" to jamestown, and from
there to Mandan, the next division
point, where twenty trains were tied
up for lack of motive power.
Every effort of the roads has been
directed against car shortage, which
they have succeeded in averting. Rail-
road men are unanimous in attribut-
ing the present condition of the en-
gines en- the system to the boiler
makers strike, which was inaugurated
last summer.
Every effort will be directed to re.
lieve the congested condition imme-
diately, as the first real snowstorm
of the season is raging. Trains will
be run over the division continuously
in order to keep the road open. Snow
plows were steamed up several days
ago, and will be ready for action at
the first sign of a blockade from
drifts.

Wanted Pay for Nine Months When
He Had Taught Seven.
The case Of L. G. Mills, the teacher
who was suing the trustees of the Dry
Lake consolidated school for two
months back pay, was decided in ia.
vor OF the defendants by Judge Duell
at Devils Lake. 1t seems that Mills
last year was principal Of the school,
having under his charge one lady as.
sistant. During the most severe
winter months the school was ordered
closed for sixty days, because the
roads were impossible, and the fuel
had given out. It was resumed again
early in March. Mills claimed that he
had contract signed by the presi-
dent of the school board, Mr.. Fursten.
au, calling for nine months school
term. The two months enforced va.
cation cut the term down to but seven
months. However, when Mr.. Fursten-
au took the witness chair he testified
that he had offered to let Mr.. Mills
teach two months longer in the sum-
mer. time, thus making his nine
months. This Mr.. Mills admitted.
Mills is now teacher of penman-
ship and spelling in the city schools
of Devils Lake.

the relief prayed for must be denied.
2. Plaintiffs occupied the land and

to perform his part of the contract,

REPORT IS MADE PUBLIC.
Engineers Tell Why II 10 Not Advisa.
BILE to Change Course Of Red River.


Bile TO Change Course Of Red River.
In report sent to congress, Gen.
Alexander Mckenzie, chief of engi-
neers of the army. states that the pro-
posed plan to widen, deepen and short
en- the Red River of the North from
Breckenridge Mimi, to the Canadian
boundary, in order to relieve the flood
conditions on the river, is impractical
ble.; The project, which has been in
vestigated during the past summer by
engineers of the war department, call
ed for the cutting of numerous canals
to shorten the bends Of the river and
the deepening of the channel to carry
the spring floods, and ALSO to provide
navigation on the stream. Tic engi-
neers, after careful Investigation,
state that the shortening of the river
would give tie water so great fall
that it would make navigation almost
impossible, and the amount of labor
and expense involved make the plan
Impractical.
The length of the river from Brock
enridge to the Canadian boundary is
1896 miles, while the distance in
straight line is only 1911 miles. By
cutting canals the river could be
shortened to 235 miles, but it would
require the removal of about 113,O0O,.
600 cubic yards of earth, and would in
volve the payment of large sums for
land along the river. The engineers
state that even this great work would
not solve the food problem in the Red
river valley, as the floods are caused
by ice jams in tho north, and to give
any relief, the bed of the entire river
would have to be lowered at least ten
feet. y
An international problem would also
be encountered If any work should be
undertaken toward shortening the riv.
er, and thus making the flow of waite.
more rapid. The engineers state that
the water would rush down upon Can
adam territory, and would there pile
up against ice jams, and cause great
damage to Canadian lands. Work has
been going on for some time toward
widening and deepening the river be-
tween Breckenridge and the boundary
to aid navigation, and this will con-
tinue under the. old project, but the
recommendations of the army engi.
neers are against any further projects
for the Improvement of the river in
that manner

Crooks Did Not Succeed in Getting

The postoffice at Webster was enter.
ed by robbers. The safe was blown
open and completely wrecked. Fortu-

After blowing the safe the thieves
took handsome muskrat fur-lined

Reports from Webster are to the ef-

were noticed around town preceding
the robbery, and there is absolutely
no clue as to who the robbers are.
Sheriff Belford has sent description
of the coat to adjoining counties, but
the chances oof experimenting the
thieves are not encouraging.

Young Plumber Brought Back From
Montana by Sheriff Released.
William ]. Hill, the young plumber
who was arrested at the instance of
Gilmore Bros. of Minneapolis, charged
with the embezzlement of $500, they
claiming that he had collected this
amount Of the company's bills, and
had failed to send in returns, was dis
missed by Judge Duell at Devils Lake,
who decided that there was no case
against him. In the first place, nome
of the prosecuting witnesses put in
an appearance. ]. X. Gilmore, who
swore out the warrant for Hill, was
communicated with last Tuesday,
when the young man was brought
back from Glasgow, Mont, by Sheriff
Bedford. It was ascertained that Gil
more is now in Philadelphia. On the
face Of it, It looks very much as IL
the Gilmore company had had a strong
case against the plumber, a repre-
sentative of that firm would have been
present at the preliminary this after
noon. Hill himself thinks that the
case was brought against him in the
first place to scare him, but it has
turned out differently. He expressed
a wish this afternoon that the case
had been brought to trial, for he was
confident that nothing would come
of it.
Hill left to spend Christmas with
parents in Minneapolis within a few
days, after which he will return to this
city and start up in the plumbing
business again.
It was stated at the time that. Sher-
if Belford brought the prisoner back
from Montana that he refused to &C.
company the officer without a requisi-
ton, making Belford's first trip fruit
less. This Hill denies, saying that
he was perfectly willing to accom-
pany the sheriff after he had finished
the job he was then working ON.
