WILL BUILD EMERSON
WINNIPEG BRANCH.

st. Paul, Mimi. June l1.-Some of the
plans under way by the Great Northern
to spend the proceeds of the $4,000, ,OOO
bonds sold few days ago to the First
National bank of New York, which is
the first block issued of the S6,OO0,OOO
authorized, were outlined this morning
by President Louis w. Hill.
Mr.. Hill indicated that the Great
Northern will build its own line into
Winnipeg. For some time negotiations
have been under way for the Great
Northern to secure running rights over
the Canadian Northern from Emerson
to Winnipeg. There seems to have been
some hitch in the contract, but officials
will not reveal the nature of the Difficult.
ty. It is understood that the Great
Northern has BEEN planning for long
time to build an entrance line into
Winnipeg. and that the contract with
the Canadian Northern, if it were made
would only be temporary.

MIDLAND CONTINENTAL

jamestown, N. D., June 8.---,The Off
GERS of the Midland Continental line are
making preparations for active work in
ironing the grade already completed.
One of the officers in Chicago recently
stated to resident of this city that 1T
was the intention of the company to
make a switching connection at Edgeley
with the Northern Pacific for the pur-
pose of transferring freight from, the N.
p. to the new road. 1t is also stated
that rails and ties have been ordered
and as soon as they reach here, work of
laying them will begin, and this is ex-
pected to be in the near future. 1t is
stated that the work of making the con-
nection at Edgeley with the N. P. is to
begin within the next two weeks. The
officers still assert that it is entirely an
Independent road, and that the favorable
crop and business prospects in North
Dakota now give assurance that the road
will be completed to Jamestown this
fall, and possibly considerable work done
between here and Winnipeg also.-Far.

CROSSING THE<BoUNDARY.

Some misinformation has been widely
circulated through the press during the
last two weeks to the effect that no per.
son could drive across the line into Can
ada for any space Of time, however short,
without paying duty on the horse and
rig when returning. 1t was instanced
that in the town of Portal where the
boundary line forms the principal street
Of the city that If. an American team
happened to cross the street that it
would cost about thirty dollars per head
to get the horses back to the American
side of the public highway. We are in.
formed by Collector LaMoure that this
is an error. There is no trouble in going
across the line with rig and staying,
We think for as long as three days, and
getting back without paying duty. The
only restriction is that the person should
report at the custom Office both in going
and returning and should do so also At
the Canadian customs, to save possible
trouble there.
There is however, . peculiar discrim.
ination about returning settlers in Can
ada who we're originally American citi.
Gems. II man takes his furniture
stock and machinery across tho line aad
settles on Canadian homestead, or be.
comes a British subject, he will have to
remain there six years before he can
bring his stuff back free Of duty. The
law allows a Canadian citizen to bring
his stuff across at any time free, but the
American who goes across isn't consider
ed a real Canadian until he has spent six
years there.
Another phase of this matter is that
for the same reason It will take six years
to get back to be citizen Of the United
States after once taking the oath Of al
legiance to King George. You can't 60
over there. prove up on land, then come
back here and resume your American
citizenship, without going through just
the same process and use as much time
as il you we're born in q foreign country.
We know Of one instances in which y
man who took up Canadian homestead
found the same to be very lnconvenient
obstacle in an official business way
since returning.

THAT 10 CENT FACT.

There is one point in the reciprocity
argument that has never been answered
in the argument for reciprocity. All
kinds Of explanation for the fact have
! teen given, but the fact stu remains,
that our farmers are getting about ten
cents moro bushel for wheat. and
more than that for barley and fax, than
the Canadian farmers. That is the fact
that makes the Canadian farmers want
reciprocity. and that is the fact that
makes North Dakota farmers fight reci-
procity. Hard wheat is q local question.
Our market for hard wheat is Mime
apolis and the present market Of the
Canadian farmer is Europe. There is
ten cents difference in the two markets.
Reciprocity will make Liverpool our
market in that it will give Minneapolis
market to the Canadians, That is,
Minneapolis market will be brought to
the level Of Liverpool and we don't be-
lieve for minute that Liverpool mar
kets will rise to the level Of Minneapolis.
Liverpool buys it's wheat from all the
markets Of the world, whichever is the
cheapest. Minneapolis gets almost all
it's supplies from the three northwestern
states. It can buy cheaper wheat but it
don't. On the contrary it pays US q
premium over the world price of from
five to ten cents. It is because they
want our hard wheat. But If they can
get an Unlimited supply Of similar
wheat in Canada amounting this year to
20O, 600, 900 bushels, they will not have to
pay premium for it. These facts have
not been and cannot be controverted.
There are no benefits in the rest Of the
FREQ list OF tho reciprocity pact that will
compensate the North Dakota farmer
for the pos,tive loss. The possible diff
ference in the price Of lumber, tish or
pulp, he will never notice. But the diff
ference Of 90. on : hundred bushel tank
Of wheat at the elevator will be very sp-
parent. And it win make no difference
what the market prlce Of wheat 'is,
whether 80 cents or . dollar bushel,
that ten dollar difference viii be there
just the same.

Pure Bronze Grsss

In talking with number Of seedsmen
and seed dealers, I have learned that all
are much interested il whether they will
be sble to procure bronze esss seed free
from quack-grass seed for next years
sales.
I have thought that it would be poss-
ible to inspect bronze grass fields as the
grass is growing and learn Of . number
Of areas suitable to cut for seed. II you
know Of farmers in your neighborhood
who have bronze grass fields likely to be
suitable for seed purposes, I will send .
man or come myself to inspect them to
ascertain whether they do or do not con-
tain quack-grass. Our funds are limited
and I have thought that should we be
able to send man, you would be glad
to furnish the livery or auto to look over
the fields.
Should we succeed in locating bronze
grass fields which appear to be free from
quack-grass, we would advise the owner
to save portion or all of it for seed
purposes. You would then be given
list Of such fields and would have first
opportunity to contract for seed from
those fields. In order to get the owner
to save them for seed purposes, we
would promise to examine the seed
which he sends US in the fall and (pro-
vided he had not already succeeded in
selling his seed in the local market) will
send his name and address to all parties
who wish to buy good bronze grass seed.
II we do this inspection work. it should
be done during the month Of June while
the grass is heading. II you would like
to have us visit the fields in your neigh.
borhood, write me BY early mail, includ-
ing list Of growers to be visited, etc.
I think much good could come from
such inspection work alike to theneigh-
borhood, the farmers, and the local seed
dealers.
We would also be aba 10 aid the farm
on interested in recognising many other
troublesome weeds and plant deceases,
including FAX sick and wheat sick soils.

TO ENLARGE FRENCH NAVY
Proposed to Restore II to Former
Position of Second Strongest
in the World.

Paris, Nov. S.-Parliament resumed
its sessions today with several mat
tiers of great urgency and Importance
before the chambers for consideration.
The report of the navy committee OF
the chamber of deputies was present
ed today and deals with the reorganl-
cation of the French navy, now ad-
mittedly in chaotic condition.
NJ. Nail, the reporter of the navy
committee, strongly emphasizes the
position taken by NJ. Delcasse, minis
ter of marine, who, from the moment
of assuming that office, has pro-
claimed that it is the duty of France
TO restore herself Immediately to the
position of the second naval power OF
the world. The socialists strongly pro-
test against this program and Will
fight any plan for the building of ad-
ditional battleships.
The report recommends a program
by which the effective strength OF the
French navy shall be brought by 1920
to twenty-eight battleships. six to be
of the Patrie type, six of the Danton
type. and sixteen superdreadnoughts
to be built at the rate of two a year;
ten scout cruisers, fifty-two ocean
going torpedo boats and ninety-four
submarines, all to be incorporated In
the home fleet; also fleet of ten YES
sells for cruising in foreign or colonial
waters. The minimum cost of con
struction involved in the program 10
estimated at $2S0,OO0,0O0.
In regard to the army the reports
to the chambers shows that but little
is needed in the way of approprla
tons but the cost of upkeep. The
army organization is declared to BE-
as nearly perfect as it could be made
The report of the budget committee
asks for total for all government
uses of more than $9OO0OO,OOO foI
1912, an increase of more than $50,
900, 900 over the budget for this year

Murdoch farm early last summer. the
discovery resulted from a statement
made by an old negro who called at
the sheriff's office and reported that
he had been asked by Mrs. Murdoch
to dig a grave at the farm. equities
hurried out and, digging in an onion
bed where the earth showed signs oil
recent disturbance, found at a depth
of a foot the corpse of Harding, with
its head crushed in with an axe.
Following her arrest Mrs. Murdoch
is said to have confessed to knowl
edge of the crime. According to her
statement, Merkle, jealous of Harding
murdered him single-handed. She
said she went to sleep while the men
we're uuarreling. Presently she awoke
nut out her hand in the dark and on
the pillow beside her felt the wet race
of Harding smashed to a pulp. A
Merkle's bidding she said she helped
conceal the body under the bed, and
the next night the two buried the re-
mains in a shallow grave in the gar
den.
Search of the Murdoch house is SAID
to have brought to light scores OF let
ters from men with whom the woman
had corresponded through matrlmo
NAL agencies. Two men seen with th'
woman are said to have disappeared
mysterlously. One, a Civil war vel
eran. vanished so completely that th'
thorough search made for him by hi'
Grand Army post failed to find trace
of him.

MORRIS sHEPPARD'S OPENING
SPEECH.

Even a cursory reading of Congress
man Morris Sheppard's speech at
Paris yesterday makes manifest the
fact that he thinks the race for the
senate lies between him and Col. JAKE
Wolters. since he stresses the points
of antagonism between them in the
degree of their Importance. For TINS
reason he comes out strong for prohi'
bition, devoting large part OF his
speech to that issue, which, per Sc, has
only an indirect connection with ma
tional politics, including the duties OF
a United States senator. 1t is true
that what he said on this subject re-
lated chiefly to the necessity OF pro-
bibiting by national authority the
shipment of intoxicating liquors into
dry states and communities, to which
there is no avowed opposition among
Texas democrats, Colonel VOTERS
himself being committed to it; but
Mr.. Sheppard went soemwhat out OF
his way in declaring that prohibition
is the paramount issue in Texas. Al
though this is true as to state politics,
il is not, or ought not to be the fore
most question in the choice of Unit
ed States senator. Mr.. Sheppard was
under no obligation to make such a
declaration nor to announce his IN
tention to vote for Judge Ramsey for
governor. and his doing so is credit
able rather to his courage than to his
judgment,
On all other questions Mr., Sheppard
opposes Wolterism, which is Bailey
ism revamped, at every point, eXcep'
that while he strongly favors the I'M
tiative. referendum and recall, he
would modify the application OF the
latter to judges so as to exempt them
from its operation because OF thelr
decisions. but only for incompetency
corruption, drunkenness or other per
sonal misconduct. He added, now
ever: Impeachment proceedings
could be made more certain and more
satisfactory by making their lnstitu
ton obligatory on presentation to the
legislature or congress of petitions
signed by % per cent of the qaulifle'
voters in the jurisdiction over Whici
the judge presides and setting fortl
adequate allegations for removal Al
Judges, state and federal, could in thu
way be made more responsible to TN
people"

to most progressives, and ii Judg'
Ramsey would make a similar declara
