MANYFARMERS T0ERECI
SILOS DURING SUMNER
AGRIcULTURAL'sTs OF SLOPE
HELD Meeting At YOUNG
TOWN LAST WEEK.
Prominent Speakers Addressed the
the Meeting and Committee Will
Look Into Comparative Costs OF
Silos.

New Salem, N. D., Jan. 21.-A
farmers meeting was held at Young
town, seven mi2sk north of New Sal
EN-, last Thursday.
One of the specific results OF the
meeting was the declared intention
of eight farmers to erect silos the
coming summer.
A committee with John Christian
sen as chairman was elected to in
vestigate further into the cost of diff
ferent kinds and makes of silOs and
to learn if the gravel in any one of
the different known beds in the COM
munity is suitable for use in concrete
silo construction.
A silo meeting was held in New
Salem last spring, but at that time
the farmers were not prepared to
build.
The short forage crop of the pres
ent season, excepting fodder corn
and the observation that grain yields
are much larger following we'll cul-
tivated corn crops, together with the
additional information they have ac-
quired through the year regarding
the practicability of the silo for
North Dakota has convinced many
that they cannot afford to wait an
other year.
No doubt additional names will be
added to the list of those who intend
to build, and, acting in cooperation
as they will, they expect to save con-
siderably on the necessary outlay.
Their plan. is to plant fully thirty
acres of some variety of corn that,
under normal weather conditions,
would mature and during the less
busy period of the summer erect their
silos. Machinery for filling them
will hlso be owned lin convenient
groups.
Among the speakers were Prof. l..
r. Waldron, Dickinson, and Dairy
Commissioner Flint.

SCIENTISTS
ARE EL;A1ED
over GIFT
Thought that Many Important
Scientific Discoveries
viii be Made
nv Associated PresO.)

:. Pasadena, Cal., Jan. 2l.-lhe an
nouncement of Andrew Carnegie's ad-
ditional gift of $40, 900, 900. to the Car
negie institute and the eneconiums he
pronounced upon the work Of Mount
Wilson's solar observatory, caused
much elation today among scientists
whose discoveries the noted ironmaster
said he counted upon to arrest the
attention of the world.
Dr.. George Elle-y Hale, director Of
the observatory, is not now on the
peak, having gone abroad some months
ago for his health and being now IN
Rome. But Professor Walter S, Ad-
ans, assistant director, gave out to-
night statement covering the remark
able discoveries announced by Hale
during the past year, and giving out a
line of what Carnegie may expect III
the way of verifcation of his confident
prediction that startling astronomical
discoveries are at hand These discov-
cries, scientists believe, will come IN
rapid sequence as soon as the 100 inch
lens for the new 23O foot telescope is
brought here from France and in
stalled
Among the prospective discoveries or
demonstrations, the one probably OF
greatest interest to laymen is the effect
Of sun spots upon the atmosphere en-
veloping this planet The deductions
of Hale and his assistants may ,revolu-
tionize the present theories of rneterol-
ogy and make weather predictions an
exact science.
Adams declared that Hale had made
the most wonderful discovery of the
age a short time before Carnegie's visit
to the observatory year ago.
"Prof. Hale definitely that sun spots
are great electrical vortices moving
across the sun like TERRESTRIAL cy-
clones," said Adams. "We are now
working on probable effect of these
sun spots on the earth and starts. We
have already discovered that these
spots do effect both the earth and stars
magnetically and have something to do
with magnetic storms on earth"

Be MADE Large
10y Associated Press.)

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2l.-Large
committees will be the rule in the low
er house of the Sixty-second congress.
Under a resolution offered by Repre-
sentative Covington of Maryland and
carried by a caucus of the democratic
representatives-elect of the next house
on Thursday night, all important COM
mittees will have a total membership
of 81 each. There is no disposition to
cut down the minority representation
on these bodies, and it is felt by the
democratic leaders that in the future
the numerical strength of the House
will be augmented These points were
taken into consideration in adopting
the proposition The rules committee,
on account of its peculiar functions,
will not be sol enlarged. Chairman
Underwood of the prospective ways
and means committee, which will
have the duty Of naming the commit
tees, said that aside from the rules
committee, the standing committees of
the house will probably not be con-
structed for months.

FACES VOTE
SCANDAL
Investigation Started in Vote
Selling at Recent
Elections
(By Associated Press.)

Danvillc, Ill.,, Jan. 2l.-When it be-
came known today that tWo-thlrds of
the grand jury are behind Foreman
Isaac woodward in demanding an in
vestigation of the traffic in votes that
has been matter of public scandal !,
for years i'll Danvile, the politicianS
and precinct workers, who were jhs
c1ined at first to scott at the general de-
mand for cleaning up, began to/d;s-
play some activity.
Hurried meetings were held be, yeen
politicians and those employed by t;,cn
dut Se the last three electiopS -.tet dis.
cuss tactiessh-Wh When the grand iurv
reconvenes MonGN-l i Is generally ex-
peced that summonses will be issued
for every politician and worker known
to have been active in the $recent elec-
tions. --.-. e.,
According to Sheriff J. 7. Shepard,
who was elected in November after a
hot brush with H. H. Wlitlock, former
county treasurer, now being investigat-
ed by the grand jury for embezzling
county funds, no summonses have yet
been issued for this class of witnesses.
1t is said some of the most active ward
heelcrs have forestallcd possible action
by the grand jury by taking hurried
trips across the Indiana line, five miles
cast of here. Although considerable
money was spent at the November cleo
ton, a much greater amount was
used in the primary last summer, es-
pecially in the fight for sheriff between
John T. Shepard, Charles Knox. p H.
Whtlock and ]. c. Horehouse.
The real fight was between Shepard
and Whitlock, and it was the large ex-
penditures made by the latter that is
supposed to have caused his populations
in the county treasury and his retire
mcnt from office self confessed en-
bezzler of $37 ,oOO That Whitlock will
be indicted is indicated by the officials.
1t also is hoped that, if brought brack
to Danville, he will make confession
of what became of the money which
may furnish valuable information con-
cerning the purchase of votes.

TAFT urges THE
FORIIF|CA1I0N
0FPANAMA Canal
:
Begins Campaign for Plan in
Earnest in New York
Speech
(ey Associated Press.)

New York, N. Y, Jan. 21.-Taft
tonight began in earnest his campaign
for the fortifcation of the Panama
canal. His entire speech at the an
nual banquet of the Pennsylvania So
ciety in New York was devoted to his
subject. He has high hopes that
congress at this session will declare
in his favor and appropriate $5,000,-
900 to begin the work. In the SEN
ate the president has been told the
sentiment for fortification is almost
two to one. The house seems evenly
divided, but not on partisan lines.
Most of the members appear, how
ever, to be willing to be convinced
by the side that makes the better
presentation of its case. Taft will
bring all of his influence to bear in
favor of fortification. In his speech
tonight he said that there were alb
solutely no treaty obligations in the
way of fortifying the canal; that the
United States had every right and
reason to protect what was purely
an American waterway. The presi-
dent said he yielded to no man in
his love of peace and hatred of war.
He said he hoped to submit soon to
the senate arbitration treaties of a
broader nature than had ever come
before that body or any other legis-
lative body of the world. At the
same time Taft cautioned his hearers
that universal peace was still long
way off and he could not conceive of
any patriotic American being willing
to allow an attacking force free and
equal use of waterway which was
built by Americans largely as an in
strument for the defense of their
country.
