SAVED BY HIS GUARD
MoroS Attack American Official
in the Philippines.

Manila, July 19.-Dean G.. Worces-
ter, American secretary of the interior
for the Philippines, was set upon by
renegade Moros on the island of Pala-
wan ond escaped assassination only
through the alertness of his body
guard, who shot down the outlaws,
killing three of them outright.
Secretary of Interior Worcester was
touring the island, which is the most
westerly of the larger of the Philip
pine group bounding the Sulu sea on
the west, and was present at the in
stallation of the new governor. In
anticipation of his coming a band Of
Moros planned his death. Armed
with bolos, carefully concealed, they
laid a trap for the secretary, who sud-
denly found himself the object of a
savage rush.
Captain Moynihan of the scouts was
the first to recognize the hostile move
ment and, just in the nick of time, he
ordered the scouts to fire. At the fusil-
lade three Moros who led the attack
dropped dead, while several others
doubled up with more or less severe
wounds. The rest of them took to
their heels.

JAG WAGONS ARE DOOMED
Closing of Saloons Will Put Them Out
of Business.


In Moorhead, the county seat Of
Clay county, Mimi, in the neighbor-
hood of forty-fve saloons, netting the
city a handsome income in licenses,
will be put out Of business by the re-
cent ruling of the Indian bureau at
Washington in closing the saloons in
the Indian land districts in Minnesota.
The edict from Washington will be
received as a singing blow to the re-
tail and more especially the wholesal-
ing interests.
From the point of general interest,
Fargo, just across the river from
Moorhead, probably is more concerned
than the Minnesotans. Ever since
prohibition was inaugurated in North
Dakota it has been up to Moorhead to
car for thirsty Fargoans and their
visitors. The closing of the saloons
will put an end to the immense traffic
across the bridges connecting the two
cities, where throngs have passed in
daily visits to Moorhead. The festive
jag wagon, which has played such an
important part on both sides of the
river, will pass out of history with
the new order.
1t is estimated that about ESQ per-
son will be thrown out employment
in Fargo by the new order.

Irrigation is a live topic with busi-

prospect of raising a crop this year. A
thorough investigation of the situa-
tion is being made in the hope that
relief may be afforded these land own
ers.
Since the operation of the irrigation
ditch in this district data shows that
the farmer who has gone into business
in a small way, taking a small acre
age and putting in better paying crops
than grains, is the n who is making
a success of his labors. 1t is true that
there are some farmers working larger
tracts who have made good, but h
majority of them have found their
path rather rocky.
Vegetables have been grown with
splendid success, and as a result OF
this fact Williston is hopeful of seeing
many more of the owners of land I'M
der the irrigation bitches adopt the
growing of such crops rather than
the raising of grain from one year to
another.

SETTLE WAGE CONTROVERSY
Railroad Officials and Employees Reach

an Agreement.
Philadelphia, July 19.-General Man
ager w. H. Myers of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and the committees
representing the $4,000 trainmen and
conductors employed on the lines of
the road east of Pittsburg agreed on
a basis for the settlement of the wage
controversy. Each side says it has
gained all it had been contending for
in the negotiations which have been
In progress for the past six months
and which eliminated last week in
the strike vote by the employees.
The proposition offered by the rail-
road officials and accepted by the men
includes a minimum day of ten hours,
as detailed in the New York Central
award. On certain runs where the
company's present rate is higher the
rate will not be disturbed.
The classification Of these excep-
tional runs and the question of over
time were left to be decided at confer
ences between the various members
of the committees and the division

they represent.
1t was further agreed that the men
would be guaranteed twenty-six days

GREAT FIRE AT PORTLAND
Two Men and Scores of Horses Are

Portland, Ore, July 15.-An early
morning fire in the west central por-
ton of the city, just on the edge of
the business section, resulted in
the loss of at least two lives, the
injury of several persons, the burning
of $50 horses and a financial damage
of about 100000. The burned district
covered approximately ten acres, but a
large portion of this area was devoted
to the athletic field of the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic club and, save for a
magnificent grandstand capable of
seating 5000 people, was practically
u%nimproved.
So far as known the dead are F. R.
Price, foreman of the United Carriage
company's stables, and a man whose
name is supposed to be Prude.
The fire started in the old exposi-
ton building, an immense wooden
structure. The sparks soon ignited
other buildings. including several
large apartment houses. several resi-
dences and a number of stores.

earlier in the day. Colonel Roosevelt
said that he had talked politics with
all three and that he had gained about
the same impression from Mr.. Wood
ruff as he had obtained Tuesday from

the assembly.
Mr.. Wadsworth made it clear that,
so far as it lay within his power,
there would be no surrender on the
part of the organization in favor of a
direct nomination bill such as Colonel
Roosevelt and Governor Hughes urged
in vain. For his part Mr.. Woodruff
said that he was glad that Colonel
Roosevelt was active in politics.
"You know the insurgents had cold
feet when 1 came back from abroad"

four men with whom 1 conferred were

rotary Wilson and Nick Longworth.

On returns from twelve additional

of Judge w. J. Kneeshaw of Pembina.
This entirely unlocked for change in

1t is true that Mr.. Cooley is only

Over Three Thousand Employees
Of the Grand Trunk Quit
OTHER .woRKMEN AFFECTED
Five Thousand Engaged in Shop Work
Will Be Laid Off Temporarily
as Result of Strike.

Montreal, July ia strike of the
conductors and trainmen of the Grand
Trunk railway has begun, which, it is
claimed, will tie up the entire system
from Portland, Me-, to Chicago.
Three thousand and five trainmen
and conductors on the Grand Trunk
and $50 on the Central Vermont, a
subsidiary line, are affected directly
by the strike. In addition, 5000 men
engaged in shop work will be tempo
rarily laid off.
The Grand Trunk railway telegraph
ers will not strike with the trainmen
and conductors, as had been promised.
The word from the conference is that
the wage dispute will be referred to
arbitration with the understanding
that both sides will accept the award.
In a statement made public after the
strike went into effect President Hays
said regarding the negotiations with
the men over increased wages: 1--WE
have done the best we can, having
regard to the interests of the share
holders and of the men themselves.
We have offered substantial increases
in wages. For instance, we give con
ductors between Montreal and Port
land an increase from $110 to $125;
between Montreal and Rockville from
500 to $140 a month; between Mon
treal and Toronto from $110 to $14O,
and baggagemen from $40 to S85 and
brakemen from $55 and $50 to $50.
"On mileage rates conductors of
through trips are to be raised from
200 to 1856 cents a mile and brake
men from 100 to 2.25 cents.
con the runs between Montreal and
Ottawa conductors are raised from
S11O to $14O a month, baggagemen
from SIS to $S5 and so on.
when l put this to the men 1 said
that if they did not think it satisfac-
tory I was willing to go to the arbi-
tration of a board of expert railway
men as to whether or not the propo-
sition was fair and would be willing
to abide by their decision.

News Of the Week From Vari-
Gus Parts Of the State.
SITUATION IS COMPLICATED
Court Decision on Division of Ward
County Raises Interesting
Political Question.

With the final settlement of
all the points involving the or.
ganization Of Burke and Renville
counties out of northern sections of
Ward county, n of the most interest
ing political complications that has
ever arisen in North Dakota is
brought about, n that will endanger
the nominations of several of the can
didates for county offices in Ward
county. Test suits to determine the
question are threatened.
According to the decisions of the
courts of the state, Burke and Renville
counties were entitled to distinct or
CARNATIONS even before the primary
election of June. The. supreme court
held several weeks prior to the cleo.
ton date that the propositions had
carried, but the appointment of com
missioners and the organization were
delayed through the action of the citi.
Zens of Kenmare in taking another ap-
peal. This appeal has since been dis.
missed, leaving the matter just as it
stood when the court handed down it's
first decision.
In the primary election the districts
included in Burke and Renville county
voted as a portion of Ward county, al
though they were then entitled to
separate county organizations and
their own set of candidates. 1t was,
in fact, a case of where three counties
were voting for the candidates of one
county. In other words, Burke and
Renville counties voted for candidates
in Ward county. Also, residents of
Burke and Renville counties were
voted for as officers in Ward county,
although they did not hold a legal
residence in Ward county.
The complications arising out of
this situation are readily seen. In the
case of several of the defeated candi-
dates, they secured majorities in the
several precincts comprising Ward
county, while in Burke and Renville
county precincts this majority was
wiped out and their opponent nomi-
mated. Then, too, residents of Burke
and Renville counties were candidates
on the ticket for nominations as Off
GERS Of Ward county. Several were
nominated and are now, on the face of
the returns, the candidates for office
in a county in which they have no
legal residence.

SHORTAGE IN
SEED WHEAT
Effort May Be Made to Have
Farmers Keep Old Stock

Good seed wheat will be scarce in
North Dakota next spring as a result
of the drouth. In many sections none
of any kind will be secured. In others
the grade will not be high. It has
been suggested that an organized ef-
fort be made to have what old wheat
still remains in the hands of the far
mers held for seed next spring and to
see that all farmers who grow good
crops this year hold their wheat for
sale to persons less fortunately situat-
ed in the spring.
If this is not done the farmers will
be seeding poor grade wheat or else
shipping in seed that may be foul and
thus infect their lands.
There is not likely to be any straw
burned this fall. In former years hun
dreds of thousands of tons were de-
stroyed. In some sections of the stare
an old holdover straw stack is regard
ed as an asset for this winter. In otn-
ers there will be an excess of forage
of all kinds. 1t is suggested that a
sort of clearing house be established
so the farmers can get in touch and
all excess hay and straw can be baled
for shipment to localities where it is
in the greatest demand. This will cot
only insure the fortunate ones good
prices, but will neal cheaper supplies
for those who have to purchase. 1t
will also prevent many sales of cattle
at a sacrifice and protect the dairying
interests of the state, which are Just
getting started.
