Former President VIII Arrive
in Fargo at $50
TO Be HERE 10 MINUTES
TRAVELS THROUGH MOST or
STATE IN NIGHT, AND OLD
FRIENDS IN WEST WILL NOT
HAVE OPPORTUNITY or GREET
ING HIM, EXCEPT IN FARGO.

Theodore Roosevelt, formerly presi-
dent of the United States and an
adopted son OF North Dakota. will
pass through Fargo tomorrow morning
in his private car which win be
coupled to the rear end Of No. of the
Northern Pacific road.
Colonel Roosevelt has been making
a rapid tour OF the western coast, and
is now en- route back to his home in
the east. He went out to the coast
by one Of the southern routes and is
returning via the northern lines so
that he will be able to cover as much
territory as possible in this trip.
The ex-president Of his country will
pass through North Dakota today and
tomorrow, the greater part of the trip
being made through the state at night.
Fargo will be the only place in the
state that he will have the opportunity
to make any kind of visit.
Having spent a number of years in
North Dakota as COW puncher, he
has host of friends in the state who
will be given a short opportunity to
see him when he appears in Fargo
tomorrow. 1t is understood that a
number of his old time fiickertail
friends will be in the city to extend
to him a cordial welcome and hearty
handshake.
No s, the train which pulls Teddyss
coach, Is scheduled to arrive in Fargo
tomorrow morning at $3.50. 1t leaves
the city at 9:40 a. M. and the colonel
will have at least ten minutes in Fargo
II not more.
He will probably make a short talk
from the rear OF the platform Of his
coach. when the train comes to stop.
There is no doubt but that there will
be large crowd at the station to-
morrow morning to witness his arrival
and hear the few words of greeting
that he will have to say to his fellow
citizens Of North Dakota.
Mr.. Roosevelt visited Fargo for two
days, less than year ago. Labor
day OF last year he was the guest OF
Fargo people, laying the cornerstone OF
Fargo college library, and making the
Labor day address at Island park in
the afternoon, during a rain storm
and before crowd Of 10000 people.

Fighting
FALSE DRUGS
Government Making Last Eff
fort to Sustain Right

washington. April 1S-Before the
supreme court OF the United States to-
day, the government is making a last
effort to sustain its claim to the right
to prosecute criminally, under the
pure food law OF 1906, persons who
labeled drugs or medicines with false
statements about the curative pro-
perties Of their preparations.
The point arose in the United States
district court in western Missouri.
where DIR. A. o. Johnson was charged
with having shipped in interstate com
merce drugs which he stated would
cure cancer, but which the government
claims were entirely ineffective and
worthless for that purpose"
It Is claimed on behalf Of johnson
that II the law is to be interpreted
as fcrbidding statement about the
curative property Of the drugs, the act
Is unconstitutional

Wind and Snow
Precipitation IN Fargo Breaks

Farmers Of the Entire North

grandest rain that this country has
experienced since the spring of 1910.
It fell continuously until nearly mid
night when the weather changed,
snow began TO fall and the wind raised.
blowing at terrific velocity, and Is
still keeping It up at noon today with
no indications Of receeding.
However, for eli this II is the finest
thing that could happen to help the
conditions Of the ground for spring
seeding. The land now has plenty OF
moisture and the farmers feel very
tubilant over the rain and prospects of
good starter for a bounteous crop.
This snow and later rains means
millions OF dollars OF benefit to the
agricultural industries OF North Da-
kota and business in general
the amount of rainfall that has been
registered at the u. s. weather bureau
in Moorhead, has broken all the rec
ords for the same length OF time for
the last year and a half over an
inch and a quarter or 1.2B Of an inch,
to be exact, has fallen.
The present storm that has been
sweeping across the country has caus-

state. The telephone and telegraph
companies have suffered great deal
from the winds that have been accom-
panying the storm, and sweeping ID
along at a terrific pace. Farmers,
however, are Jubiiant.
Telegraph wires all over the state
are down. and efforts to secure good
communication between the principal
North Dakota cities have been most
unsatisfactory.
Reports from the different cities in
the state give the storm to be entirely
general.
There has not been another such
period Of time in the last eighteen
months, when the precipitation has
been so great. This brings the amount
OF rainfall for the month Of April to
Aso4B anu the H1OHLn ID NOT yet halE

Dakota in the month of April is 2.as,
so from the present indications tho
record for the month viii be easily
proven this year.
The heavy rainfall at this season
Of the year come as great boon to
the crop conditions over the state.
Since November, last, there has been
less rainfall up TO this month, than
any preceding year in long time.
Efforts to get direct communication
from over the state are being made.
and the trouble will be adjusted as
soon as 1t is possible
Water has been soaking the tele-
phone wires and forming cross cur
rents between the different telephone
lines. The trouble on the south side
has been decidedly bad and satis-
factory connections between places on
this side of the city have been poor.

Democrats May Limit Debate

Hanna and HeIgeSen to Talk
Against It
House Committees Complete
and Ready for Grind

Washington, d. c., April 1s.--The
Canadian reciprocity bill, introduced in
the house yesterday, was reported fav-
orabiy to the house today by the ways
and means committee. The commit
tee also passed favorably on the free
list tariff measure, but WIN not report
it until tomorrow.
The Canadian reciprocity bin was
taken up first by the committee and
after a brief discussion. Representative
Mccall, It's sponsor, in the sixty first
congress moved that It be approved by
the committee. This was done with
out division.
The free list bill, however. was not
unanimously approved, the vote on Il
in committee being strictly a party
vote, the democrats favoring II and the
republicans voting solidly against it.
When the house met, Chairman Under
wood submitted the report Of the COM
mittee. The reciprocity bill will be
called up tomorrow for discussion.

Gratis are committed to the passage of
each Of these three, and 1t is not an
ticipated that any great amount OF
time will be spent in debate.
Canadian reciprocity may be reached
tomorrow or the next day. There is
now a disposition of the democrats
to limit debate on this measure. The
bill will be sent to the senate within a
week as the majority party feels that
the opponents of the bill should not
require more than two ar three days
debate upon IT.

MORE CONCESSIONS
IN STEEL ORDERS

New York, Jan. 1.-THE conferences
of iron and steel manufacturers dur
ing the last two weeks have done little
more than emphasize the unfavorable
features in the trade and increase the
volume of business in finished steel
products. The evident feeling of APP
prehension has not been allayed and
consumers are not deluded by the deci-
sion to temporarily hold prives lin fact,
concessions are still being granted, but
to a less extent than for many months
Railroad orders for equipment are
still lean, but promises are as glitter
ing as during the last six months Con-
tarcts placed last week included 3,400
cars, $4,000 tons of rails, and fifteen
locomotives. Bridge orders were in
significant.
Orders for fabricated structural steel
were light, only 5000 tons, and new
bids were submitted on scarcely 1900
tons.
