PINCHOT Will

ASSISTANT FORESTER PRICE DE-
cLARES THAT HIS CHIEF
WILL STAY UNTIL RE-

Washington, Aug. ia Washing
ton dispatch to the New York World
today says: ''In the first authorized
interview that has come from the for
est service bureau during the fight be-
tween Secretary Baiiinser and Clifford
Pinchot, Assistant Forester Overton
Price, Pinchot's immediate assistant
and closest confident, declared today
that his chief would not give up work
until he was stopped
when asked whether Mr.. Pinchot
was not likely to resign, Price said:
." Mr.. Pincnot is doing great work
to the satisfaction of the American
people. Why should he resign?
"Tnen the question was put to Mr.
Prince in a more direct form. He was
asked whether the present controversy
between the interior department and
the forest service, the differenc be-
tween Ballinger and Pinchot, woul(
not probably lead to the resignation
of the chief forester.
"Pinchot's friend and spokesman
did not hesitate and quick as a flasi
came the answer:
obviously, / cannot discuss wha
you call the present controversy, bu
can say this: believe Pincho
will go on with his great work as heaC
of this service until he is stopped; an'
/ see nothing in sight to stop him.

doubt concerning Pinchots attitude
He is in the fight to the finish"

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

To The Forum: / understand that a
society is to be organized mainly for
the support OF drunkards' families,
thus taking the burden of their shoul-
ders, they can spend all they earn for
drink. These organizers refuse to OPP
crate In connection with their society,
a society for the prevention OF cruelty
to animals. The poor abused dumb
creatures must appeal I'm vain to the
kind hearted people to raise their voice
or hand in their defense. They claim II
is too great an undertaking to take up
the cause OF the dumb animals. There
will be no trouble about the financial
part OF 1t for many men and women
are not only willing but anxious to give
any amount OF money that is needed to
carry on this good cause. Did Abra-
ham Lincoln think II too great an un-
dertalcing to free the human slaves
from their cruel masters? The same
God made them all and at the judgment
day we win have to answer TO Him for
our neglect to protect what he created
for our comfort and use and not our
abuse.
Nothing IL needed so badly in Far

pgewention OF cruelty to animals.

The Effect of Room

Complex hangings are another ba'

Dilworth, the new town tust east of
Moorhead which was started by the

two ago the site of Diiworth was a
stretch OF naked prairie. Last year 1t
was cluster OF a few houses, while
today there are scores Ur houses in
the building stage and II Is rapidly
taking on the aspect Of a thriving
little city of homes.
A representative of The Forum yes

Burton Of Fargo to take seat In his

several of the new houses which are

present building season there would
be forty new homes to the credit OF

northern section Of North Dakota at

This caused considerable buying in Of

the market scored an advance Of

movement OF new spring wheat seems

Duluth, Aug. 1S.-Despite pessimis-
tic reports from the east, no shortage
OF cars this year is expected by either
the Great Northern or Northern Pacific
railroads in either Minnesota, Montana
or North or South Dakota
The bImonthly statement OF the
American Railway association shows
a decrease in surplus cars Of 3s,1S1, OF
which number 12,575 are box cars that
will be needed to carry grain to mar
ket This reduction brings the sur
plus 74,44S, under the figures given for
last September. The report also says
the whole country is affected. This
is denied by the northwestern lines.
Local freight traffic officials claim
that the concentration of box cars at
Minnesota and North Dakota points is
in excess OF that of any previous year
and the increase In box cars available
sets of any reduction in fiat or gon-
