Statement Go THE. Public.


All going to move mo- back home 7.

distric after. I was elected, e. Z
cams TO Baton Rouge, thinking 8
could give better service at the.
domicile Of the commission, than
located in my district; however, at
that time, there was a strong sent.
iment among my constitu-
.tuents for me to remain in the dis:
5trict. i have resided in Baton
Rouge now for three years, and my
constituents, from time to time,
have requested me>to return to my
district, and at last asked it through
petitions, forwarded to me from
various sections of the district.
MY home town, Columbia, is
situated almost in the geographic
cal center Of my district, and
will spend part Of my time travel
ing over the railroads and part of
itin Baton Rouge.
The conditions in this state are
very different from those states
provided with expert assistants to
travel over the roads, engineers,
etc, to examine the road.beds,
equipment and everything coming
under that head.
The people living along the
lines of road, and having constant
business with public service cor
porations are very slow to file
complaints, fearing that they
might incur their i'll will or dis
pleasure. These considerations
my experience has shown, empha
size the necessity Of travelling
through the district a great deal
which can be done at less cost tt
the state from the geographical
center Of my district than from
the domicile, at Baton Rouge.

WANT BILLIARD TABLES
Circulation for Their Installation at
Y. M. C. A. Is Being Cir
cuIated.

A petition Is being circulated among
the older boys of the boys department
OF the Y. M. c. A., which will be pre-
sented to the directors OF the associa-
ton, requesting that a couple of bill
lard and pool tables be put into their
department. The mems department is
is also taking steps to secure like
tables.
The matter will be brought up be-
fore the board and there Is a likelihood
that the tables will be installed pro-
viding the required funds can be Sc
cured. The money will probably be
raised by the sale Of tickets among
the members.
The installation Of billiard tables
In the x. M. G. A., has long been de-
sired and, while there may be some
objection to the game because Ii is
used In pool halls where the sur
roundings are not always what they
might be, II is good game in which
great skill may be developed. Used
In the X. M. G. A., there lis no doubt
but that 1t would be ideal and is an
proved by the greater majority Of
the members as well as by q large
number of the committee members.
1t Is probable that the petition
among the older boys will be signed
today and presented at the next meet
ing of the board. wilen 1t is probable
that action may be taken on the mat
ter.

Railroad News
GOODBYE TO THE
Old PUMP HANDCAR
RAILWAY OFFICIAL SAYS cAso.
LINE CARS WILL SOON REPLACE
THE OLD UP AND DOWN "ARM.
STRONG" RELIC OF THE PAST
NEW CARS WILL SAVE TIME.

But a little while longer will the
backs of the section men bob up and
down as they glide along the railroad
track. The old pump" handcar is
to be relegated to the boneyard OF
commerce. A modern device, on which
the section men may sit in ease. is IA
take its place.
Hereafter the muscles OF the rail-
road workers will be exercised only
with the utensils used in laying and
tearing up track He will be able TO
rest going to and from the scene OF his
strenuous tasks.
An official of one of the railroads
said while discussing the passing of the
pump" handcar: Yes, I think that
before many years have passed that the
old pump car will be extinct and the
gasoline car will take its place alto
gether.
The newer car gives more salts
faction and is also a saver of much
time. 1t will accommodate more work
men and tools than the old car and is
much more easily handled. It can he
placed off the track by two men in
fraction OF a minute. Each car win
accommodate about ten men including
TOOLS"

OPENS WEDNESDAY
FIRST IN YEARS
FEDERAL COURT coNvENEs ON
FOURTH DAY OF WEEK IN OR.
DER THAT NEW YEARS MAY BE
CELEBRATED AT HoME-ruEs.
DAY is FAvoRITE DAY.

For the first time in years, federal
court will convene in North Dakota
on Wednesday, when the adjourned
ran term opens in Fargo on ian &
Eeceral court attaches who have serv-
co with Uncle Sam for manv wears
claim that never before, in their recol-
lectlon' has court opened on anv other
day than Tuesday
Whlle there Is no reason whv Tues-
day should be favored to such an en-
TENT such has nevertheless been the
case IN the past. The federal statute
provides that all regular terms Of courf
snail open on Tuesday, but adjourned
terms can be opened on any day de-
sired. In the past it has merely han
pened that adjourned terms have omen
ca on the third day Of the week.
This year court officials held that
it would be appreciated bv turymen
witnesses and others interested in the
trial Of cases, to hold off until Wednes-
day, allowing those residing in far Off
corners of the state. to eniov New
Years day at their homes. In MANY
cases where individuals live on branch
lines, 1t is impossible to reach Fargo
In one day. Had court opened this
year on Tuesday many would have
missed the initial celebration of 1910
at home. The breaking away from the
Old custom will doubtless be appre-
ctated by many interested.

Watching the Indication.

jamestown, N. D., Jan. PARTIES
,cE.g he indications OF
the Northern Pacific extending It's
vest from Pingree to Wilton
claim to have several pointers that
indicate such intention in the near
future. One is the purchase of 10000
acres OF land along the site Of the
proposed road, by well known real
estate dealer and town site promoter
OF st. Paul. The object of the pur-
chase Is to sell at an advanced price
and to establish town sites and start
a new town. Another indication is
said to be the storing up at a con-
venient point Of the rails taken from
the j. & N. line which have been
replaced with heavier rails and it is
believed the old branch line rails NAV
be used for the new line Farmers
living along the proposed line have
right of way matters under considers.

Henry Reama Assaulted

Henry Reams was grossly assaulted
last night at his home, by a ruffain
named James Day, who, 1T is alleged.
beat up his victim in most savage
manner, and in addition riled his
pockets of about $24 in money, accord
ing to the complaint Of Reams. Day
skipped but was given a merry chase
by Officer Bergstrom and the two had
tussle, the officer getting the best of
his man as usual, and soon he had Day
behind The bars, a sore and penitent
prisoner. Before Justice Malloy this
morning, Day practically admitted the
offense, but the case was put over un-
til next Monday as there is some oues-
ton about the amount of money. Day
is from Fargo.

N. D. BENEFITS
BY new RATE
NORTHWEST PUT ON PARITY
WITH SOUTHWESTERN HOME
SEEKERS RATES GRANTED 70
MINNESOTA AND NORTH DAr
koTA GETS CHEAPER FARE.

Minnesota is up in arms because
the western railroad lines have fall
| ed to grant homeseekers rates to that
state, while such rates have been
granted to North Dakota, Wisconsin
and other northwestern states.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press speaking
Of the new rates says: The western
lines have decided that the north
western states shall be put on a parity
WITH the southwestern states during
1910 with respect to homeseekers'
rates. This will not be due to any
decrease Of rates to this territory, but
on account Of an agreement to make
an average advance OF IS on the
round-trip rates to New Mexico and
Texas, which have been treated liber-
ally for some time by the railroads in
an attempt to develop that territory.
Undoubtedly the southwest has bene-
fitted to some extent on account of
this favor, and it is expected that the
northwest will be benefited by being
placed on an equal basis.
The homeseekers' rates will be i'm
effect on the first and third Tuesday
OF each month during the year. They
will be on the basis of a fare and D
half plus SIS, with certain maximum
rates to certain points. The conditions
Will be the same as before.
Discrimination Against MINI.
To what extent Minnesota will ben
erit under the new arrangement re-
mains to be seen. No homeseekers'
rates have been granted this year to
Minnesota on the ground that the rate
is low enough as it is, on the 2-cent
basis fixed by the state legislature.
1t is said that this state is being dis
eliminated against in that respect.
Homeseekers' rates have been
granted to northern Wisconsin, KAN
sas and Nebraska, where there are O.
cent laws, and to North Dakota. where
the legal rate is 2h cents. The ef-
feet of this condition is, for instance.
That homeseeker can go to Fargo
N. D., cheaper than he can to a point
OF practically the same distance in |
northern Minnesota.
Up to Local Lines.
The Minnesota railroad and ware |
house commission took the matter I'm
with the Western Passenger associa- |
ton, seeking to have the same con- /
SESSIONS given Minnesota as were |
give nto some OF the other states.
It mas been charged that the west
srn lines were responsible for failure
% use the low basis to Minnesota, but
hey have evidently become favorable
20 granting Minnesota homeseekers,
rates. IL they have not been in that
attitude right along for they have
lotlIied the commission and the state
