WARPATH
Threatens to Tear Loose and
"Say Things

Columbus, O., Oct 22.-state house
politicians are all stirred up over a
speech ex-Sen. j. B. Foraker. proposes
to deliver about 2. m. today at
Marysville in opening the republican
campaign there.
Certain members OF the republican
state committees are much exercised
over the matter as they have grounds
for the belief that Foraker will make a
vigorous attack on ex-President Roose-
veN and that the republican party is
fighting for it's life and is fighting foes
from within as well as without.
They are also much perturbed over a
statement to the effect that ex- Sena-
tor Foraker will declare Roosevelt's
declaration for new nationalism is
imperialism and that it is as reason
able as the secession which brought
on the civil war but that the saving
feature Of the matter is that Roose-
welt exhibits such egotism as to ex-
cite only ridicule.
Columbus is Foraker's stronghold
and a special train will carry his ad-
herents TO Marysville, Interest in
the speech is intense az the reports

AUTOMOBILE GOES
UP in FLAMES
c. v. WILLS, MAIL CARRIER AT
LEONARD, BRUSH RuNARouT.
DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Leonard, N. d., Octe22s--C. ". Wills,
the rural mail carrier, lost his Brush
automobile hv fire. After MIR. wills
had made his trip Mrs Wills and a
younger sister started with the ma
chine to the home of her parents. three
miles south. When near the county
line Mrs. Wills stopped the machine
TO let some teams pass. When she got
out to crank the auto she discovered
that the under part was on fire, some
otS having in some way been ignited.
The entire body OF the machine was
burned. Nothing remained but the iron
work which was badly injured from
the heat, leaving the auto practically
worthless. Fortunately the gasoline
tank was not injured, as an explosion
OF the gas would have injured both
parties, perhaps fatally. Men along
the road, seeing the fire, rushed to the
assistance of Mrs. Wills, but were un-
able to prevent the destruction of the
auto. The fire from the machine
caught in the prairie grass along the
road in several places and was with
difficulty distinguished. Had it not
been for the timely assistance render
ed a disastrous prairie fire would have
resulted. 1t was an unfortunate acct
dent but might have been worse.

.SHEA'S scheme
FOR WATER SUPPLY
AN EASY WAY TO INSURE A GOOD
SUPPLY OF WATER FOR FARGO
AND MooRHEAD AND OTHER
CITIES ON THE RED RIVER
PUT IN OLD oTTERTAIL DAM.

"a glance over the map OF Ottertail
county, Minnesota, will show that the
Ottertail river flows out of Ottertail
lake. said u. s. Marshal Shea this
morning. "The Ottertail and Bots de
Sioux rivers join together at Wahpe-
ton and form the Red river. The only
water we get for ten months of the
year is from the Ottertail. The Bots
de Sioux is sluggish at best and is dry
three -fourths of the time.
"Ottertail lake has an area of about
forty square miles and is connected
with many other lakes Of smaller size
which makes in all from eighty to
ninety square miles OF natural reser-
voirs where water could be conserved.
During the wet seasons some years
ago the milling interests of Fergus
Falls put a dam across Ottertail west
ward where the river flows from the
lake, for the purpose of conserving the
water and insuring steady supply for
the milling purpose. They raised the
water in the lake about six feet and
flooded some of the lower lands around
the lakes The millers had no legal
right to put In the dam and the farm
crs who were damaged took supply
of dynamite and blew out the dam.
Nov, I would suggest that our con-
gressmen and senator's take the matter
up with the senators and congressman
of Minnesota. They would have the
hearty support of the Fergus Falls
milling interests and many others; get
the United States government to con-
denim the low lands around the lake
and pay for them, put in the dam at
the same place or any other that might
be designated by the engineers TO con-
serve water for use when there lis pIen-
ty. When we have droughts we could
then have a steady flow Of from fiv.-
to six feet of water during the entire
year.
Edward Engerud could give an idea
OF this matter in detail better than I
can. That is his boyhood home and he
knows every lake and stream In that
county. This Is the age Of conserva-
ton and ] believe while other people
are talking about 1t we might try TO
put some OF their ideas kAto practical
