WILL CONTINUE
RAILROAD WORK
NORTHERN PACIFIC AND GREAT
NORTHERN MAKING PLANS
CROP OUTLOOK rs GOOD AND
RAILROAD RUILD DING is TO Be
RESUMED.

st. Paul Dispatch: Construction
work in North Dakota stopped last
summer, because Of the crop outlook,
Is to be carried ON this year by the
Great Northern, according to official
information This includes the com
pletion of the line from Fargo to
Surrey and from Stanley to Powers
Lake. the former being new main
route to the Pacific coast and the lat
ter feeder tapping rich agricultur-
al territory to the north.
SO far the policy is regarded to ex-
tension work, for the year has not
been decided, but should the crop sit
uation continue favorable and the con-
ditions generally are suspicious, it
Is expected that the Great Northern
viii undertake further important work
this year.
The line from Fargo to Surrey will
cut the present distance of the Great
Northern from st. Paul to the coast
about flfty-flve miles, which will near
ly offset the advantage of sixty-nine
miles In short distance. which the st.
Paul road now enjoys in the running
OF trains between Chicago and Seattle.
The present mileage of the ST. Paul
from Chicago Is ATS against 2,246 OF
the Great Northern, and 2,SSS of the
Northern Pacific. with the two latter
roads using the Burlington between
St. Paul and Chicago,
The Northern Pacific also has plans
for shortening it's line between st.
Paul and the coast so that from the
standpoint Of distance all the three
transcontinental lines viii be nearly
the same. On long transcontinental
journeys the difference of fifty or a
100 miles in the handling OF business
Is not a serious consideration, for con-
dition of roadbed and other matters
govern, but it is a strong talking
point in soliciting for business, SO it
Is expected there will be an interest
ing rivalry between the Hill lines and
the st. Paul road. 1t would not be
surprising that when the st. Paul road
puts on its through passenger service
next month that the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern will put on a
little faster service.

HIGH SCHOOL ADDRESS
Professor Weeks Of North Dakota Az.
ricuItural College Talks convinc-
ingly at Moorhead High School

Professor Weeks of the North Da-
kota Agricultural college made his first
visit to the Moorhead high school yes
terday afternoon. and was the speaker
during the chapel hour. The distin-
guished visitor showed great interest
in the school work. He displayed keen
interest in the peculiar problem of the
school and offered many suggestions
regarding the executive work of the
school. The professor spoke interest
ingly and convincingly. He said much
knowledge was acquired simply from
the standpoint of curiosity, or for the
sake of knowledge itself Such would
be true, for instance in the study of
astronomy, a most interesting subject,
but a knowledge of which was made
but little use of. He urged the Moor
head young people to choose some USE
full Line Of knowledge and to pursue
1t with all the thoroughness possible
so as to be splendidly equipped and
fitted to do the something desired to
be done as well as it can be done. The
counsel and good words of the speaker
were greatly appreciated by his hear
ers, who accorded the closest atten-
ton and he was given the most cor
dial applause.

MAN HARD OF HEARING

This morning In the u. s. landoffice,
III. Philips, farmer of Stutsman coun-
ty, came very near missing the chance
to purchase some land that was being
offered for sale because of the fact
that he could not hear the auctioneer
Jud Jordan Of the landoff1ce inter-
rupted the sale of the land by asking
Philips IL he wanted to bid on the
land. Philips stood motionless and
then when the question: was repeated
he prdcked up his ears and said, yes,
If get chance
He stated that he was hard of hear
ing and when placed directly in front
OF the auctioneer he was able to I'M
derstand the loud cries that were going
on. Philips purchased the land, which
was tract OF about thirty-sfx acres
in Stutsman county, for $5.25 an acre.
This is the second time that such
an occurrence has happened at the
landoffica this week. Wednesday q.
man named Nelson was hard OF hear
ing and did not even know when the
bidding was going on, he was 80 deaf.

placed at the head Of the finance com
mittee. He is president OF Charles G.
Moore e. Co., engineers. and the man
who, by his successful advocacy OF the
cause Of San Francisco in the capitals
Of Europe, secured the presence of the
warships OF six nations in the bay at
the time of the Portola festivities.
One OF the most unique and interest,"
ing exhibits to be made at the expose
ton will be display OF the old French
machinery used in excauating the Pan
anna canal.
The credit OF originating this happy
idea belongs to Cong. Joseph p. Know
land OF Alameda county. While on the
isthmus not long ago, the thought
struck Congressman Knowland that it
would be an excellent plan to make
an exhibit Of the ANTICIPATED machinery
used by De Lesseps in his unsuccessful
effort to connect the two oceans.
The plan was preached to Colonel
Goethals. who was In hearty accord
and who Immediately instructed a
force of men to go into the jungle and
secure some of the old excavakors and
other machinery.
The exhibit Will probably consist OF
an excavation and q locomotive with ..

alongside win be displayed a modern

motives used at the present time nv

GIRL Won GOLD MEDAL
Edith Torson Captured Huntcon Gold
Medal and Milo FIaten Silver Medal
in Defamation Contest.

Miss Edith Torson won the gold
medal and Milo Flaten the silver medal
! in the contest for the medals donated
by L. A. Huntoon to the public schools
OF Moorhead, to promote the best pos
sible efficiency In reading and dec1ama-
ton. Miss Torson averaged highest
among the eight contestants and won
out with the average percentage as
well as average rank.
The contest was held in the Congre-
gational church, and as usual the edi-
flee was crowded to excess with the
friends Of the several contestants and
friends of the public schools. The
judges were Mrs. William Russell and
Professors Collins and Martin of the
state normal school. Had the popular
vote OF the audience prevailed. the
winner Of the gold medal would have
been someone else, but systematic
markings for the several excellencies
which were used to decide perfect
efficiency and not the haphazard senti-
ment view Of the majority of the lis
teners. One contestant, for instance
gained two firsts out OF the trio of
judges and yet was not winner. The
defamation Of the winner of the gold
medal was a selection entitled Patsy.
Milo Flaten captured the silver medal
by a splendid rendition of a poem en-
titled How the LaRue Stakes Were
Lost.
The formal programme was opened
and closed by contributions by the
mixed chorus Of the high school and
the girls glee club Of the high school
respectively. 1t is stated that the
winners were accurately guessed by
two young people OF the high school
yesterday morning, the guessers being
entirely in the dark as to the person
mel of the judges or the scheme Of
markings adopted

N. DAKOTA MEN
JOIN MINNESOTA
RECIPROCITY DELEGATES HAVE
BEEN INVITED TO MAKE TRIP
TO WASHINGTON WITH THE
DELEGATES FROM STATE OF
MINNESOTA.

A letter has been received by the
North Dakota men who have been
named as reciprocity delegates to
Washington, asking them to make
their trip to Washington with the dele
gates who viii go from Minnesota.
1t is thought that the two bodies
OF men going to Washington together
will have a greater effect with the
representatives at the capitol. 1t Is
also understood that the expenses Of
the delegates will be materially cut
down by going in such large body.
Nothing has, as yet, been done re-
garding the invitation from the MIN
nesota delegation, but 1t is presumed
that 1t win be accepted. The delegates
from both states are now awaiting the
call OF their respective representatives
before going to the field of action.

LATE YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON TALK

Bismarck, N. D., April 14.--Judge
John r. Cowan's remarks to the SEN
ate, Following the afternoon recess,
were not as animated nor of such gem
eral interest as those Of the earlier
part Of the day. and many of the
spectators who had congregated to
hear his startling revelations left when
he began on the instances In the de-
layed cases.
At the close Of the days session,
however, the accused jurist did not
show any, apparent signs Of fatigue,
and his voice was just as strong as
when he began his address, seven
hours before. But, by the conclusion
OF the afternoon number Of the SEN
ators showed they were tired, after
having listened for an hour to the un-
interesting facts in connection with his
side of the delayed cases.
AT the outset Of that portion of the
address, dealing totally with the de-
layed cases mentioned in the speciflca-
tons in the charges against him, the
judge stated that he felt he needed
just little more time in which to
famtliarize himself with such details
as would be essential to disprove the
evidence brought out against him by
the prosecution. He thought that q
little more work during the, night
would put him in a position where he
would be able to personally answer all
the charges made before the witnesses
for the defense were put on the stand
The counsel will be ready to intro
duce the first witness this afternoon,
so that all possible time may be saved
in the further hearing of the case BY
the senate. The senators themselves
are thankful that at least this much of
the trial is over, and are hopeful that
the hearing will not require more than
another week.
About the Delayed Cases.
Judge Cowan's statement about the
delayed cases specified i'm the charges
against him lasted the greater part OF
an hour. He took them up specifca-
ton by specification. The others were
left until today, when his address will
close with a complete resume OF the
entire number of charges against him
for crimes and misdemeanors of i'm
peachable nature preferred against
him by the house of representatives
during the recent legislative session.
The first case cited was that of
oksendahl VS.. Hales, mentioned i'm
specification 2. In making his state
ment about the court procedure in
that action. he roundly scored Judge
Guy C. I'll. Corliss, former associate
justice Of the state supreme court. and
who appeared as one of the witnesses
for the prosecution against him.
Scores Judge Corliss.
Before commencing his explanation
of the OksendahI- Hales case, Judge |
Cowan took dip in his characteristic
Scotch witty way into the former SUI |
preme court justice. who has testified |
against him in that case.
1.-THE very first case" he said, |
brings before you man who has
done a great deal or hustling in this
case. You will perhaps recall how the
capable and mastery way Judge Cor /
liss testified against me and what an
excellent witness he made for the
other side. He spent a whole lot of
time preparing for his part in this
case in regard to that specification
and was quite prominently identified |

The special thirty day rates from the
twin cities to points on the Pacific
coast came to a close on Monday OF
this week. The travel this year has
far exceeded that Of any former year
and has taxed the carrying capacity of
the western roads. Passenger train No,

running in two sections for several
days past and all other coast trains
have been loaded down. Similar con-
ditions are said to prevail on the Nor
thern Pacific and the 500 railroads

Orders have been issued to all train
and enginemen to use special caution
while the track remains soft, as the
result of the spring moisture, to pre-
vent serious derailments. Engine No.

day, causing a several hours delay.
About the same time engine No 1852
struck broken rail at Churchs

The wrecker from Minot was called
to replace both engines. The deraiI-
ment at Churchs Ferry INSTRUCTED one

liged to come in backwards and also
went back the same way as far as
