AMERICAN FARMERS PAY A TAX
OF 250 MILLIONS A YEAR-EU-
ROPE is AHEAD.
EFFORT TO HARMON|ZE WORK
To Get Uniform Legislation in the
States, the American Association
for Highway Improvement Has
Begun a Campaign.

Washington, Jan. S.-That the Uni
ted States suffers a direct loss of 40
million dollars annually on account
of incorrect and inadequate methods
III the construction, maintenance and
administration of public roads, is the
assertion of l.. w. Page. director of
the United States office of public
roads, and president of the new Am
erican Association for Highway I'm
provement.
This enormous loss is nothing com
pared with the indirect loss. through
excessive cost of transportation,
which is caused by the burden which
bad roads impose upon the farmers
and this amount, according to Mr..
Pages report reaches the impressive
total of $50 million dollars every
year.
The American farmer is paying
two or three times as much to get
products to market as the man who
tills the ground in Europe, and this
added cost of transportation is
known to be an important factor in
the high cost of living problem.
France is said to use her fine system
Of roads just one and one-third times
as much as her railroads for trans
portation, whereas in this country the
public roads are so poorly maintain
ed and administered as whole, that
the highways carry only between
one-third and one-fourth as much pro
duce as the railroads.
Director Page has described the
condition of the roads of the United
States in making an announcement
that the American Association for
Highway improvement has opened
offices in Washington. The organi
zation of this association followed
conference in this city several weeks
ago of many of the leading road en-
gineers of the country. the president
of five of the largest railroad sys-
tens and representatives of motor
car manufacturers and publishing in
terests. w c. Brown, president of
the New York Central lines. is vice
president of the association; Lee Nc
Clung. treasurer of the United States
is treasurer and Louis Hill, president
of the Great Northern Railroad, is
chairman of the board of directors.
According to President Page and |
other officers of the organization the
work ahead is to correlate .
and harmonic efforts of all existing .
working for road i'm /
to get uniform road legis- /
lation in every state. and TO seek |
and systematic mainten- /
ance of all roads. Every one inter |
ested in road improvement is eligi- /
BILE for membership. Information on .
every phase of the good road move
ment will be furnished to all road .
engineers, state officials and organi-
,ations requesting it of the Washing
on Office or of any members of the .
BOARD of directors.

ALMA COLLEGE ITEMS

The baseball team from Nj. A. c.
were disappointed and so was the
entire student body OF Alma Tuesday
when several terrific rain storms
flooded Davis field and while furnish
ing excellent opportunities for water
polo, destroyed all possibilities of a
baseball game. Atnoon it looked as
if there might be a game, but an
other shower in the afternoon put a
quietus to such ideas The Aggies
arrived in Alma at 12:45 and re-
turned at 3:34 This is the first time
a game has had to be cancelled by
Alma on account OF the weather for
two years. The NJ. A. c. tennis team,
Messrs. Taft and Itano, accompanied
their baseball men, expecting TO meet
Alma, but no rowboats could be
found 10 navigate the tennis courts !;
hence, no game. While here, Mr..
Itano. who, as his name indicates, is
from Japan, met Miss Misao Nika-
jima, Of Yamananshi, Japan. who is
taking a kindergarten course here.
This was the first time Mr.. Ttano had
met a girl from his own country since
coming to the United States five years
ago. While there may be arranged
another match with NJ. A. c. there
will be no ball game with them this
year.

SHAM FIGHT IN HAMPTON ROADS
THIS MONTH TO BE BIGGEST
EVER HELD.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 22.-To as
certain the most efficient method Of
annihilating craft of the air that might
swoop down upon the country in time
OF war, Uncle Sam will soon mobilize
his battleship fleet and portion of his
army and set them to work on the
problem Of how best to wreck the aer-
oplanes of an invader.
These tests will be held the latter
part of this month for the navy at
Hampton Roads, Va, and for the army
at the Sandy Hook proving grounds.
More than 10000 men and officers in
the navy alone will perform the ex-
periments assigned them and seek to
destroy that which others in Uncle
Sans employ are still striving to per-
fect-the aeroplane.
Last year tests Of a somewhat simi-
lar nature were held, but on a much
smaller scale. The army tests held
then consisted chiefly of firing at bal
looms with the regular army rifle. But
this year the balloons will be the tar
gets for the fire of specially design
ed gun and carriage, made solely for
that purpose and jealousy guarded as
a state secret.
In the navy this year tests, conduct
ed under the personal command Of
Admiral Hugo Osterhaus, commander
in chief Of the Atlantic fleet, and four
other division admirals, will cover ev.
cry possible phase Of destroyin. the
newest of all war craft, those Of the

DURING AUGUST Or LAST YEAR
THERE WAS A BANKRUPTCY
CASE EFARLY EVERY DAY,

Ihat the condition OF affairs in the
state OF North Dakota are great deal
"e'ter this year than they were last is
evidenced from the few bankruptcy
cases that were filed in the office of
til" clerk of the u $. cu.rt at Fargo
during august Of this year and August
Of 1910.
A year ago j. A. Montgomery, the
clerk OF the court, was more than busy
taking care of bankruptcy proceedings
which came in from over the state.
The month of August saw at least one
new bankruptcy petition each day.
However, during the same month
this year so far the cases have not
averaged one week. This in view of
the regularity of their filing last year,
is very marked contrast in the crop
conditions of the state.
During August last year the farmers
and merchants knew that there would
hardly be crop of any kind. Over
the state there were over thirty hous.
es that failed during the mouth be-
cause of the fact that their resources
mad failed owing to the crop failure
At this season of 19I1 the merchants
and farmers are assured thar there will
be big crop. The harvest is being
reaped, collections are coming in and
the movement of crops and money has
placed the weaker firms where they are
able to meet the demands that are
made upon them.
Judging from this condition North
Dakota will have a most prosperous
year in every line during the remain
der of 1911 and the early part of 1912.

all, Neche farmer who disappeared
a week ago and for whom a constant
search has been prosecuted since that
time, was found Sunday evening, his
dead body lying in field on the Gran
dy farm near Bathgate.
Marshall, aged about 60, disappeared
the day following an extreme attack
OF cancer pains, and after he had made
his will.
He was well known throughout that
section of Pembina county.
Appearances indicated that he had
been dead two or three days and it is
supposed that he starved to death.
Just where he had kept himself be-
tween the time he disappeared and un-

Democrat:
Newman Erb, who has at different
times been buyer and seller of rail
roads, including the Wisconsin Central
and the CincinnattiC Chicago line, trans.
ferred to the Chesapeake 6, Ohio, has
bought large stock of the Minneap-
oils and st. Louis railroad, and has
been made director of that prop.
erty and also of the Iowa Central. This
will associate him with Edwin Haw-
ley in the development of these two
roads. Neither is now paying divi-
dends. They have been much of a
strain on the Hawley interests in the
past two years.
1t is planned to extend the Minnea-
