has SPECIAL CAR

Grand Forks, N d., April 8-PlanS
are rapidly maturing for special car
to carry the delegation to Washington
to present the cause of the farmers
against the pending reciprocity agree
ment. While the details have not all
been worked out by those in charge
of the affair, enough has been decided
on to make the special car all assured
fact.
The special car will not be luxury
alone. ior it is planned to have the
country through which, it passes in
formed in no uncertain terms. of the
fact that North Dakota is opposed to
the reciprocity agreement and that the
people are so emphatic in that protest
that delegation is being sent to Wash

the whole country sit up and take no
tice.
North Dakota is more prominently
before the people of the nation today
than ever before. The anti-reciprocity
convention in this city has caused the
eastern press to give that question more
space in the last two days than they
gave it III the preceding two months.

Paul E. johnson and family will by

For the last two years Mr.. Johnson

THE irene
(By Associated Press.)

Lone Hill Life Saving Station, L. l.,
April s-Daybreak today showed the
stranded Princess Irene in a position
which varied only a few degrees from
that of yesterday.
The changing of the wind into the
northeast attracted chief attention from
the life savers and there were indica-
ton which the weather wise regarded
as ominous "Northeastern and hard
blow coming,' was the way it was
interpreted by seamen. However, all
passengers are safely landed and the
keel OF the big ship is fiat in bed
of sand Work of lighting the cargo
began at o'clock. With fair weather
it was expected that 4 considerable por-
tion OF the cargo could be moved in
forty-eight hours. Experts on shore
were. of opinion that dredge would be
found necessary to shift sands from
about her keel before Irene could be
f1uated.
