Frame says of the Collier story. ~.
Some two months ago an article in
Golfers Weekly described a march by
part Of the Maneuver Division at San
Antonio, from that place to Leon
and gave startling account of the
number of men who were unable to
continue the march after the first few
miles, the number whe fell out of the
ranks and altho the first days march
as stated was only II miles, the story
gave the impression. that that; detach-
ment had about reached the end of
its powers of endurance in that short
distance. / -. -:
II the story contained Statements OF
fact and those facts were fairly pre-
sented and there were no other facts

HERALD SOLD.
Times Absorbs Morning Paper il
Grand Forks. Will Issue Two
Editions,

On Monday came an authoritative
statement from Grand Forks of the
final sale Of the Grand Forks Daily
Herald to a company of which Hon. j.
D. Bacon, proprietor of the Daily
Times, will be the head. It is under
stood the two dailies will be consolidat-
ed and printed from the Herald office.
This change will not be made at once
but it is the ultimate object. The
Herald is one of the states Oldest
established papers founded by George
B. Winship in 1879 as a weekly and
published as such until about 1888.
The Times was founded in Grand
Forks six years ago by a stock COM
pany, of which Hon. H. C. Hansbrough
was principal stakeholder. A year after
ward he transferred his interest to J.
d. Bacon who since has had control
of the paper. Great interest is being
expressed all over the state as to what
changes in policy the Herald will
undergo. Mr.. Bacon has been known
as one of the leading stalwarts Of the
state but of late years has advocated
more conservative policy The Herald
has led the progressive fight for years
How the progressives will accept the
situation remains to be. seen. A rumo,
of another daily in Grand Forks within
six months is current with some of the
former employees of the Herald at it,

Sand Clay Roads.

One OF the most important devel-
opments of the good roads conven-
ton was the statement OF Judge
Starbuck that Forsyth county had
come to the conclusion after several
years experience thatit does not pay
to build the high priced macadam
road.
The sand clay road is just as good
and experience has taught that it
lasts as long rs the macadam.
The experience of Guilford is prov
ing the same. Near High Point the
sand clay roads built at the same
time as the macadam roads are in
even better condition. This is a very
important matter not only to such
counties as Forsyth and Guilford,
but to those counties just beginning
road building The situation is
worthy of investigation. - High

New Ports in Peru

From Consul Gen. W. Henry Robert
 son, Callao.
 The Peruvian minister of promotion Fl Ministro de Fomento. has Issued an official decree regarding the construc- ton of a. new port in the southern part of this republic, which should interest American manufacturers and exporters of machinery and construction mater ials.
 This decree states that in view of n petition of the Peruvian corporation Htd.). the most important industrial and railway concern in Peru Is to be al- lowed to submit plans for establishing g port in the Bay of Matarni and to build railway to unite this port with that of Mollendo. said line to tap that from Mollendo to Arequipa.
 The fact that such an important con- cern has this concession and that the harbor of Mollendo. the leading port of south Peru, is so poor and dangerous that better one Is much needed makes 1t probable that the proposed one and its railroad will become a reality.
 Another decree by the same minister grants authority for constructing a meters north of the port of Pisco. This mole is intended for the private use of the Caucato estate and the conditions under which the proprietors of the es- tate may construct said mole will be prescribed by the minister of the treas ury upon the basis of drawings to be by the government corps of civil engineers.

"BISCUIT CUTTER"
 USED ON CLOTHES

From the Cincinnati Commercial-Tri- bune.
 Many mysteries. deep and fathomless, have confronted the lynx-eyed sleuths of the local department from time to time but the man who used some sort of biscuit cutter to get money from a pants, beg pardon, trousers pocket, , this pocket being under a double layer of coat and overcoat all the time, is , causing the lynx-eyed gents to worry some.s
 The total damage from latest esti- mates by those best qualified to know amount to s4 in currency one overcoat and some underwear. the latter only . slightly injured. The man who suffered from the operations from the new spe- cles of crooks is James B. Wilson. 2335 Vine street. employed a wholesale com mission house in Front street. Wilson and his brother from Corbin, Ky, had been spending very pleasant Christmas together and on the way to get an evening train for the home-like village of Corbin' they edged into vari- ous places where eggnogg was thrown out to patrons at fifteen cents per Smal glass with plenty of suds on top.
 Unfortunately they arrived at the Central Union station a few minutes early and sat on the crowded bench to allow the eggnog to settle down. Will son urgently desired to pay his bro- ther's fare home and reached for his pocket for the money, but to his aston ish ment the pocket was like Mother Hubbard's cupboard on the memor- able occasion.
 Furthermore. there was not any pocket Also a large section of his overcoat bod been cut away Deeper probing revealed that a slice of his underwear was missing. All of these surprising facts were reported to the police and they have no clue to the crime.
