Crushed Between Cars.

Fargo-Crushed to death between
two freight cars was the fate that Her
bert Toole, a Northern Pacific freight
switchman, met Thursday afternoon
while in the performance of his duty.
Toole. who was engaged in SWITCH
ing car from the western end Of the
Northern Pacific freight yards down
to the mill at the eastern end of the
yards, was clinging to the ladder on
the side of the car he was switching.
AS the car crossed Fourth street it
jumped the track at the switch there.
Several cars on a siding were stand
ing close to the switch. There was
not sufficient room between the NOV

RESERVOIR FOR. RED.
consrsssmsn From Two States Would
|ss Improve River. =

W. Improve River.
f Fargo.-Congressman Hanna Of
North Dakota and Congressman
Steenerson Of the Ninth Minnesota dis
trict recently appeared before the
board Of army engineers at Washing
ton in support OF reservoir system
tor the headwaters Of the Red river, q
survey Of which was authorized in the
last rivers and harbors act.
The preliminary report Of the chief
engineers was unfavorable to the es-
Establishment Of the reservoirs. although
it recognized tho high merits of the
reservoir at Red lake. It also consid-
cred the proposition Of a reservoir at
Lake Traverse and Otter Tail lake, but
finally ignored any proposition for res
ervoirs in North Dakota. Stevenson
and Hanna called the attention of the
board to the fact that the Cheyenne
river in North Dakota drains very
large area and has an important infiu-
ence upon the Red river at certain sea-
sons Of the year and that there are
splendid opportunities for reservoirs in
the valley Of the river. also that the
head waters Of the Wild Rice river, in
GLIDING Wild Rice lake, offer a splen-
did opportunity for reservoirs.
It is also argued that with modern
gasoline power boats the draft Of river
craft has been reduced so that boats
can be used that only draw two feet
Of water, and that with the reservoir
system this stage of water could easily
be maintained at all seasons Of the
year from Fargo to the international
boundary line and probably also from
Breckenridge. A reorganization Of the
whole subject is expected.
