The Temperance League meeting
last Friday evening was not very
largely attended, but fairly good
program was rendered. It was de-
cided to hold an entertainment on
Saturday evening, June 6. A
''rag-ball" social will also be held
in connection. All are welcome to
attend. It is a shame that some
young men come to our league
meetings solely to make a disturb
ance. We are sorry to say that
two certain young men (who are
not members of the league but are
we'll known by all its members)
come to the meeting not to come
inside and listen to what is going
on, but stand outside and make a
racket, and have been seen several
times displaying bottles of "fire
water" Now, boys, take a warn
ing; you may be doing this ''only
for fun" but remember that some
day your fun will end in sorrow.

be of much help to those who are
engaged in any of these lines of
work.
Mrs. Bertha Dahl Laws of Apple
ton, Minn., is probably better
known as a speaker on Home Eco
nomics subjects than any other wo-
man in the middle west. She is a
woman of broad education, travel
and experience; a most interesting
speaker, and we'll able to entertain
and instruct any audience of men
and women. Mrs. Laws will take
up her special subjects of 1.-The
American Girl and the Home,"
"Plain Foods and Plain Living"
and 1.-The Preparation of Foods. :"

School of Agriculture at Crookston,
will talk on matters relating to the
country schools and the teaching of
agriculture to the young people.
He also wishes to talk to the boys
and girls under l8 years of age
about the great contest in grains,
vegetables, apples, sewing and cook
ing, to be held in Minnesota this
year, in which $140O in prizes will
be given for the best samples of
the articles mentioned.
The morning session will COM
mence at 10 o'clock and the after
noon session l:3O o'clock sharp.
The subjects on the program are
such as to be of interest to nearly
every man and woman in the coun-
try and the town. The people in
the town who are interested in
fruit and vegetable growing and
home matters are invited to attend
this meeting and get all the good
they can from it.
The Institute is to be held under
local auspices of the Housekeeper' s
Club. More particulars next week.
At the institute new pamphlet

Injunction Is Denied.

Judge Edward Whitson, of the
United States court, has refused to
enjoin the Spokane & Internation-
al, Canadian Pacific, Idaho &
Washington Northern, Spokane &
Inland Empire, Washington Cen
trail and Spokane Falls & Northern
Railway Companies from charging
the~increased freight rates.
The court asserts that the freight
rates which became effective No
vember | are arbitrary and unrea-
sonable, but he claims that the
United States court has no author
ity to decide in the case, and that
the proper tribunal is the inter.
state commerce commission. The
case is that of the Potlatch Lumber
Company and thirty other COM
panies of the northwest against the
above mentioned railway concerns.

Railways Boom During Past Year

Chicago, Dec. 24.-According to
statistics compiled by the Railway
Age, railroad construction in the
United States has been nearly as
heavy in 1907 as in 1906, which
was the heaviest year since 1888.
The total number of miles of new
track laid this year has been 573O,
of which 422 miles were in Louis
lana, 341 in Florida, 385in South
Dakota, 314 in Texas and 81 in
Washington. In Canada during
the same time 1913 miles were built
and $40 in Mexico The greater
part of the new track was laid be-
fore the financial stringency.. only
small amount Of mileage being
constructed after September.
The orders for freight and pas
senger cars and locomotives in 1907
were smaller than at any time
during the last seven years: The
volume of orders for this part OF
railroad equipment was about So
per cent of the total of 1905 and
1905.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 30
Painting rosy picture of the fu-
ture. blaming too fast pace for the
present financial furry, which he
characterized as especially deplor-
able at this time because of lack
of capital in all nations of the
world, steadfastly maintaining that
the northwest is the favored spot OF
the nation, J. }. Hill, the venerable
St. Paul railroad magnate, dehv-
cred an address at q banquet given
here tonight by the Minnesota real
estate board. Mr.. Hill said:
'There is nothing today in the
shape of menace to dishearten any
one or to make any one afraid OF
the future. You here in the north
west have less to fear than in any
other portion of the country today.
The late financial disturbance has
hurt you less than it has hurt any
part Of this country. am not a
prophet, nor the son of prophet,
but a year ago last August | felt
that we were going too fast, that
there must come break We
could not keep it up. and / tried to
sound a note of warning. said
that if it does come it will affect
the northwest less than other parts
of the country. This is your good
luck. Let us not feel too exalted.
Rather let US feel chastened. Let
us feel that we have worked and
reaped the benefit of our work in
good earnest.
"The causes of this furry are far
reaching. Money has been high
all over the world. Capital runs
into little pools. These little pools
were drained dry. First came the
Boer war, then the Russian-Japan-
csc war. Our own earthquake in
San Francisco made some difference
but every expansion called for more
money than was available to be
used.
THE foundations of the present
financial condition were sorely
troubled a long time before they
reached us. It was long time
gathering and [ am not prepared
to say that it will not be a long
time before it passes away, but it
will clear more quickly in the
northwest than it will in any other
part of the country, and there is
good reason for it. The country
behind us is newer. The natural
resources are to great extent un-
developed and there are more
things to bring out of the soil and
more prosperity in geperal in the
northwest"

NAVAL WARFARE OF Tie FUTURE

hind the plate with a proper relay
action fuse.
Today when we are able to pene-
trate heavy armor with projectiles
charged with a high explosive SO per
cent more powerful than ordinary dy-
Mantle, we look back with a sense
of mingled wonder and amusement to
the grotesque pneumatic guns for
throwing aerial torpedoes, on which
this government ~squandered more
than a million dollars about twenty
years ago. Still, there vas n good
feature about the pneumatic system,
and it was the idea of dropping large
charges of high explosives upon the
decks and in the water surrounding
the war vessels of an enemy. The
fatal defect of the system was the
employment of compressed air, instead
of gunpowder, for the projection of
the torpedoes from the gun, together
with the fragile character of the tor
pedo casing, which precluded all pos
sibility of piercing even the thinnest
structure.-From The Naval Battle
of the Future by Hudson Maxim,
in the September Metropolitan Mag
'aZine.
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1908-08-18

High explosives are destined to play
a far more important part in future
warfare than they have played in the
past. There are three ways by which
high explosives may be brought to
bear upon the warships OF an enemy
for their destruction. One is in the
bursting charge of the high explosive
armor-piercing sp%rojectile;; another is
in the submarine torpedo, either in
the stationary submarine mine or
the self-propelled torpedo, Of which
latter the Whitehead is the principal
type; and the other is in aerial tor
pedpes, huge projectiles carrying
charges Of half a ton of high explo-
sives, dropped upon and about the
Warships OF an enemy.
During the last decade the princi-
pal progress in, the use of high explo-
sives has been in the %perfecting of
bursting charges for armor-piercing
projectiles and today we are able to
fire high explosive .projectiles from
'powder.gurs, and Is penetrate the
thickest armor-plate, without explo-
sion. until the p~rojectile has passed
through the plate to be exploded be-
