Lined About ConStantinopIe

Copenhagen, April 2O.--A dispatch
from Constsntinople says: The
population of the Turkish capital
awoke this morning to find pickets of
the constitutional force (who have
surrounded the city to make the sultan
guarantee continuation of consti-
tutional government) within calling
distance of the old walls of the capital
on its south side.
THE constitutional lines extended
in wide semicircle around three
quarters of the city, Pera Galata and
Stamboul, and every hour they are be-
coming longer.
"All the roads outside of the capital
are occupied by the invading forces,
whose twelve-mile front can be traced
distinctly, but the movement of the
highways has been practically unaf-
fected except that now and then trav-
elers are stopped and questioned and
sometimes taken before the COM
mander of the nearest outpost.

AMONG BEST IN THE ENTIRE

Fargo is the financial center of this
part of the great northwest
Since the beginning of civilized his
tory in this territory Fargo has stood
in the unique position as the finan-
cial center for the large territory
which now comprises the state OF
North Dakota and from that time to
the present 1t has developed to a
money center. recognized all over the
country.
From its geographical location and
the fact that it Is the largest city be-
tween the twin cities and Montana
and from Winnipeg TO southern South
Dakota, 1t has grown to be a deposit
ing point, not only for individuals but
also for many of the banks and COM
mercial institutions in this wide terri
tory.
For these reasons there has been
built up here financial institutions that
in number and strength cannot be ex-
celled in any town It's size in the coun-
try and there are few cities twice it's
population that can compare to it in
this respect. In fact, the records OF
there are many towns of rs, 900 popula-
tion and over whose banks clear annu-
ally much less than those of this city
"a record that speaks volumes-not
only for the prosperity of the city
but for the state as we'll.
The smaller banks of the state,
western Minnesota and northern South
Dakota mostly make the Fargo banks
depository, recognizing the institu
tions here to be of such a character
as. to, make these deposits the best Of
business propositions.
In addition to the city being a
banking center, it is also the deposit
tory for all but a few of the post
offices, which are tributary TO Grand
Forks, and thousands of dollars ar
rive monthly from the smaller gov
ernment institutions over the state
and surrounding territory.
Each year, as the population and
prosperity of the northwest increases,
the local financial institutions have
grown to accommodate this influx of
wealth and are amply prepared to
handle profits of the great, rich terri
tory of which this Is the point OF
focus. And still prosperity is In
creasing on every side-money is be-

manufacturing enterprises are spring

SAY DENIS. ARE DIVIDED.

Washington. April 20.-It is evident
from the activity of the opposition
and the interests of the income tax
proposition to ascertain the strength
of the. other that this question will
furnish the sharpect contest to be
waged in the senate during the tariff
revision. session of congress.
In view Of the fact that the demo-
Gratis are said to be unanimous for an
income tax in that measure. the lead
ers Of the insurgent republican fac
ton appear to be confident of victory.
Present Bill Sufficient.
On the otner hand the opponents of
the income tax idea say the democrats
are not united and declare that some
Of the insurgent strength for addl-
tional international taxes will be lost
the moment the senators are con-
vinced that the pending bill will pro-
duce sufficient revenues for the needs
Of the government.
Among the republicans declared to
be in favor of an income tax are Sen
ators Borah, Brown, Burkett, Clapp
Crawford, Cummins. Dixon, Gamble
Guggenheim, Lafollette and Nelson.
Leaders Are Very Busy.
In addition to these some OF the in
surgents are claiming Senators Jones
Bourne, Hepburn, Johnson of NORTH
Dakota and Doliver. If the votes ot
all these senators should be cast fol
income tax, they would be more
than sufficient to pass in the senate
unless a break should occur in the
democratic ranks. q.
Leaders of both factions were busy
on the floor early today canvassing
the senate for and against the tax
measure.
