WITH THE CLUB

run. r in a position to cooperate
with the state in making the road one

to demonstrate thoroughly the fact
that the Dakota soil conditions are
suitable to the best kind Of road work.

throughout the state. taking an active
hand in all the work that Is done on

believes the best Of results can be
achieved.
To Tour the Route.

account of how the interview was OBJ

The Evening Post article by INFER
ence places the colonel himself in the
Ananias club.
At the start 1t says:
INF. Roosevelt was not correct In
this statement. The Evening Post.
after careful Investigation. retains
complete confidence in It's reporter,
denies that anything was omitted from
the authorised interview. and sets
forth below the facts in the transac-
ton. Mr.. Roosevelt's statement was
printed as dictated by him and as
transmitted ( the Evening Post"
In the detailed account OF how the
interview was obtained 1t is stated
that the Evening Post reporter went
to the Outlook Office for it.
After some wait the colonel came
out into the .anteroom where the
Evening Post man was waiting and
gave him the interview. Then the

New York. Dec. 27.-New light is
ing the contribution of $1,000 to
the republican campaign fund in 1904
In the forthcoming biography Of the
late Edward H. Hartman. There
also will be set forth the first informa-
ton about many gigantic plans origi-
mated by the financier.
The biographer is G.. ". Batson of
h Wall street firm Of Eugene Meyer.
Jr.. & CO.. and formerly on the staff
OF a financial newspaper. The work
is to he printed under the supervision
Of Mrs. Hartman. It is said that it
will deal in n graphic and authorita-
tive manner with facts which will H.
Illuminate many passages in present
day history.
Mr.. Hartman during his life caused
to be set forth facts connected with
the republican campaign fund sensa-
ton OF 1904. which again comes up
for popular discussion through the
recent publication of a letter from
George r. Sheldon.
1t will be shown. 1t is said, that a
third person was present at the inter-
view in which Mr.. Hartman was told
of the need Of funds for the further
Ing OF the republican campaign. This
person IL quoted in the biography.
No Official information on this SUBJ
tect could he gained. however. because
Of the desire of those interested in the
book to give ou no advance informa-
ton concerning it. Requests have
been made from several sources that
this version in the biography be given
to the public at this time, but so far
they have been denied.
The Hartman account begins Will,

Bliss. recounts how Mr.. Hartman
raised $4,000 n sets forth many
interesting facts connected with the
Sidney Webster letter.
It is said the biography probably
will no. appear for four or five weeks.
is written concisely. for the life of T..
II. Hartman was longer than was its
actual span. so varied and complex
were his activities.
Among the stupendous schemes in
which he was interested and which
are set forth in his biography is his
project for girdling the earth by rail-
road and steamship lines largely un-
der his control. 1t was his intention
which connections could be made from
the coast of Asia with the trans-Siber-
rian railroad.
The biography has many pages
which are practically autobiographic
and many letters are included. Ere
quently Mr.. Hartman would summon
the mar who Is to give this new. view
Of him. and after explaining the de-
tails of some transaction to him would
inquire: Nov You are sure that YOU
