EQUIPMENT FOR G. N. & N. P.
Large Purchases of Rails and En-
gincs-N. r. May Build Its
Own Shops

Wall Street Journal.-Neither the
Northern Pacific nor the Great Nor
thern has taken up the question of
its rail and equipment needs for the
current fiscal year. James ]. Hill,
chairman of the Great Northern,
says that it is too early for that road
to make up its budget, and the Nor
thern Pacific has been delayed by
the fire damage apd indications of
lighter traffic, both of which may
prove important factors in deciding
on the amount of new equipment to
be bought this year.
Both of these roads are big con-
sumers of the steel mills, equipment
companies and other concerns deal
ing in railway supplies. They build
some of their locomotives, passenger
and freight cars in their own shops,
but under ordinary needs their rapid
growth calls for additions to the roll
ing stock more rapidly than the
shops can turn them out, so that large
orders are placed outside.
In 1910 the Northern Pacific ex-
pected to build in it's own shops and
buy from other manufacturers to-
tai of 10 locomotives, 1000 forty
ton box cars and sixteen sleeping
cars. In this year however less than
the normal amount of purchasing
was done, owing to the curtailment
measures in force, but the company
acquired 13 locomotives, 80 passen-
ger cars and 673 freight cars. In
addition to this, the company bought
many thousand tons of steel rails in
each year for the replacement of
light tracks and the building of new
extensions.
The Great Northern let contracts in
1909 for 4electric and 20 steam To-
mocotives, FL passenger cars, 1000
freight cars and 2O2 fat cars. It al
so laid 90-pound rail on 262 miles OF
track to replace lighter rails, besides
using a considerable amount in new
construction. It's requirements this
year should not be any less and 1T
will not be forced to take account OF
the curtailment being practiced by
some roads. 1t may be expected to
order $4,000 to 100000 tons.
While the Northern Pacific has not
made up it's requirements for rails,
it is learned from trustworthy sour
ces that it's purchases Of steel for
1911 will be small. The considera-
BILE amount of rail laying done in the
past two years fits in we'll with the
company's present economy policy,
by making it unnecessary to do nor
NAL amount of that work this year.
The road is in excellent condition
and only enough new material will
be bought this year to keep 1t so.

MANY MINISTER'S WILL BE
MISSED
Wholesale designations Of the Cler-
gy. in Iowa. Salaries
Too Meager

Charles City, Ia, Sept. 12.-When
the upper Iowa Methodist conference
convenes in Charles City this week
it will find itself face to face with
decided shortage in the number of
preachers and that fifty-seven charges
in the conference will have to be
filled from a source at the present
not known. Fifty-seven men, the
greater part young and in the prime
of life, will quit the ministry at this
time and all will engage in secular
lines of work. Many of these men
are only a few years out of univer-
sity and seminary.
The complaint is that the salary
paid is not sufficient to maintain a
family according to a decent stand
ard of living and to give their chill
dren the education they deem nec-
cessary. The complaints have been
becoming more caustic within the
last two years and the higher cost of
living is really blamed for the step
| to be taken by the preachers. Some
of them, men who have spent from
four to six and seven years in uni
versity and seminary, are asked to
fill charges where the salary is less
than seven hundred dollars a year,
and instances are quoted where the
preachers are receiving less than five
hundred dollars a year. These are
largely in the rural districts and in
the smaller villages and towns.
At the upper Iowa conference two
years ago, like complaints were heard
but fewer men left the ministry.
There is believed to be no concerted
action on the part Of the ministers
who will tender designations to the
conference this week.
The same problem is liable to be
met in South Dakota at the next con-
ference particularly in the southern
parts Of the state, where the pas
tors work not only includes the reg
ular church services, but often other
work as well, in order to make a
living.
Many Of them have complained
late.y The duties of these ministers
in the rural districts often includes
the holding Of three services on Sun
day besides the weekly services in
districts sometimes % far as twenty
and thirty miles away and the long
trips about the country to ohaciate at
weddings and funerals and at other
occasions 's2.

ROOSEVELT a HARMoNIzER
Difference May Exist in Methods
But None in Principles Of Re-
publican Party

A Bismarck correspondent of a
Fargo newspaper referred as follows
to one feature Of Col. Roosevelt's
visit to North Dakota:
The visit of Colonel Roosevelt to
Fargo brought together an immense
gathering Of old timers of the state.
Fargo hotels bore the appearance
of an old-time state convention, and
insurgents, stalwarts and other fac
tionists got together, talked over
their differences and decided that the
wings of the party were not so far
apart after all. The address of Col
onel Roosevelt avoided any reference
to local conditions in the state, and
this was pleasing alike to both fac
tiOns.
The democrats and some of the
more rabid insurgents have sought
to make capital of the fact that Col
onel Roosevelt did not refer in terms
complimentary to Congressman Han
ma in the course of his address, but
this is explained by the fact that
North Dakota has selected as it's can
didates for the United States senate
one stalwart, Senator McCumber, and
one insurgent,, Congressman Gronna,
and for congress one stalwart con-
gressman, Hanna, and one insurgent,
H. T. Helgeson. To have sought out
either stalwarts or insurgents for
!, laudation would have put Colonel
Roosevelt in a rather embarrassing
position and that he avoided taking
sides is pleasing to both sides.
Colonel Roosevelt, it is quietly re-
ported, did some good work toward
bringing the opposing factions of the
republican party together. He told
the leaders that while there might
| be difference of opinion as to meth
DDS, there could be no difference as
ito the principles for which the party
/ stood, and he wanted the leaders to
get together and work for a republi-
, can victory, and then settle the ques-
tions inside the party. This is ad-
mitted to be pretty good political doc
trine, and it hadssa good deal to dc
with the spirit in which the leaders
of the factions met each other at the
meeting of the republican state cen
tral committee the latter part Of the
week.

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 9.-One OF the
most disastrous conflagrations In it's
history visited Fargo at quarter to
two this morning. The fire started
in the basement of Pirie's laundry
from an unknown cause. It swept
up through the land Office of H. Am
erland, and was rapidly communica-
ted to the Fargo National bank build
ing. In a few minutes these build
ings and Prizes cafe and grocery were
! mass of roaring flames.
= A general alarm was turned in and
the entire Fargo fire department was
rushed to the scene and battled des-
perately to save the rest Of the block:
The blaze was beyond their control,
however, and an appeal for aid was
sent to Moorhead. The Moorhead fire
department responded as soon as pos
sible, and combined their efforts with
those Of the Fargo department in an
heroic effort to check the advances
of the fire fend. p.
There was considerable anxiety a
Emong the hremen and the citizens
regarding the water supply and pres
sure. The Red river is SO low at
the present time that there was dam
ger that the water supply would be
inadequate to cope with the flames.
However, no serious results were ex-
erienced and the pressure lasted long
enough at least to get the blaze un.
der control.
The damage is estimated at nearly
half million dollars.
The Fargo National bank building
was located at the corner of Broad
way and N. P. avenue. Amerland's
land office was Immediately west of
It. The laundry In which the fire
originated was under the Amerland's
Office and was private laundry used
to wash the linens Of Prizes cafe.
Prizes cafe was on Broadway, just
north Of the bank building. Prizes
grocery was considered to be one of
the largest stores in the Gate City.
West Of Amerland's on N. P. avenue
is the building occupied by the Ma
tional Cash Register company. It was
badly damaged by fire and water.
The commercial club Of Fargo oc-
cupied the entire second floor over
the other buildings. The Office of the
mayor and city attorney were in the
Fargo National bank building. All
were q total loss.
The fire was gotten under con-
troll alta 3:45@ q. m. and was confined
to the building in which 1t originated
and to the three buildings adjoining.
Great credit must be given the fire.

Fort Monroe, Va, Sept. S.-The
accident to the North Dakota was due
to an explosion of fuel oil when the
vessel was 12 miles from Old Point
Comfort. ...M
The accident happened far from
any shpre and for several hours the
widest rumors circulated through
various communities to the effect that
the Delaware and sister ship of the
North Dakota, had been blown up.
Rear Admiral Seaton Schroeder,
commanding the Atlantic fleet, late
today made the following succinct
statement of the accident:
Between 10:30 and II o'clock this
morning oil from room No. in the
North. Dakota caught fire while the
first squadron of the Atlantic fleet
was making passage from the south
ern drill grounds to Hampton roads.
Under the request from the COM
mander of tn North Dakota, the
commander-in-chief of the feet i'm
mediately ordered the North Dakota
to leave the feet formation and the
battleship New Hampshire put near
to render assistance in case they
should be of service.
"No assistance was necessary, and
by eleven o'clock the fire on the
North Dakota was under control. It
has not yet been ascertained how the
fire started, although it is believed
that the disaster was not due to any
carelessness of the men on the North
Dakota. A board of inquiry was
named to investigate the accident.
1.-THE injured are all expected to
recover. Chief Lieut.. Orin G. Muir
phin was in the fire room at the time
of the accident and was burned, but
not seriously"
"The commander-in-chief, immed-
lately upon anchoring of the squad
ron, proceeded on the supply tender
Yankton to the North Dakota to per-
sonally attend the operations. The
fire was completely under control be-
fore he arrived, and after ascertain
ing as many facts as possible he re-
turned to the Connicut in Hampton
Roads. The North Dakota shortly
after the accident anchored OF Thin
BILE Shoal lighthouse. The wounded
men who were severely but not SER
iously burned were removed from the
North Dakota to the hospital ship,
Solace."
The official report of Admiral
Schroeder to the navy department
named the following dead and in
jured:

ATTORNEYS BAND
TO ELECT THREE
FISK, ELLSWORTH AND COOLEY
ENDORSED BY THE N. d.
BAR FOR SUPREME
JUSTICES

AACC u tAO uCu III tAc IdC0 lOI LuS
North Dakota supreme court will re-
ceive the support of committee of
100 North Dakota attorneys which
was organized in Fargo Saturday ev-
ening. This action was taken in ac-
cordance with resolution adopted
by the North Dakota Bar association
four years ago at a meeting in Grand
Forks, when one of the hottest judi
cial fights ever witnessed in the state
was pulled of between Justice G. A.
Fisk and John Knauf, the former
winning through the work of the at
torneys organized in his behalf.
Justices G. J. Fisk and S. e. Els
worth and G. M. Cooley are the men
who will receive the support of this
organization of attorneys, and oppos-
ing them are E. B. Goss of Minot, E.
T. Burke of Valley City and w. M.
Anderson of Devils Lake. All three
of the candidates backed by the at
torneys organized Saturday had re-
|ceived previous Endorsement from
the North Dakota Bar association.
T. G. Dewitt of Wahpeton is presi-
dent of the executive committee in
charge of the campaign, whie J. A.
Montgomery Of Fargo, clerk of the
federal court, is secretary, and will
have full charge of the campaign,
the headquarters of which will be
in Fargo. The other members Of the
executive committee are Judge Guy
C. H. Corliss of Grand Forks, JEFF M.
Myers of Grafton, B. B. Holt and
Judge Engerud of Fargo, F. H. Reg
lister of Bismarck, president of the
State Bar ASSOCIATION, and B. D. Shaw
of Mandan.
The resolution on which the action
of Saturday was taken by the attor-
neys was adopted at Grand Forks,
Sept. 10, 1906, and is as follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
the Bar Association of the State of
North Dakota that this association
owes to the public the duty of using
all it's power and influence to place
and keep upon the supreme bench
of this state capable, experienced and
upright lawyers, without regard to
party Affiliations, and to- this end it
| is further
Resolved, That whenever the ex-
|igency presents itself, the president
of this association may, on the re-
quest of any three members in writ
ling, shall call special meeting of
this association, at time and place
to be designated by him, to the end
that the association at such meeting
may take such action as the public
interests demand with respect to the
selection of a judge to such. bench. Z"
Only on one occasion since that
time has this been put into effect,
that being when the two vacancies on
the bench occurred In 1908. It was
deemed inadvisable to place the mat
ter before the bar association this
year as an association, so the mat
ter was taken up in a different man
ner and will be carried out as outlin-
ed at Saturdays meeting.
