CAUSE Of GOOD ROADS
FAVORED BY CONGRESS
Assurance Given by Speaker
Clark to United States
Highway Association.

Speaker Clark of the House went on
record in favor of the good roads move
ment today at meeting of the United
States Highway Association, which has
been in convention for the last three days
at the Raleigh Hotel. Speaker Clark de-
clared. however. that the good roads sup
porters must come to Congress with a
concrete, practical proposition before
federal aid and federal appropriations
could be expected. When such definite
proposition was laid before Congress, said
Speaker Clark, there was no doubt that
it would receive the practically unani-
nous support of both Senate and House.
Sneaker Clark discussed the need OF
good roads throughout the country and
told of the work which is being done in
Missouri and in his own county IN that
state for the Improvement of the high
ways.

14 YEARS FOR sLUGGINo

The Chicago judge in giving the pro- fessioual sluggers l4 years Is to be con graduated for the most excellent ex- ample he has given to help abolish the new method of winning over people who are trying to work, not heiong- to any particular union.
 ''nious are all righ, in their place.

 Unions are The natural growth to enable labor tn compete with combina- lions of capital and in union there is strength. But there is nothing to unions that should cause severe pun ishment to be afflicted upon innocent persons. who happen to accept work and care not ,u h, made d member of any particular labor organization.
 When men make d profession If go- Ing about beating up inn"cent working men. who perhaps are driven tn ac- cept any kind of work to provide means for their family. and adminis- tering punishment that lays them up for weeks a penalty such as imposed by the Chicago judge seems little enough
 An win admit that under existing conditions the working man is handi- capped and he has to keep on the dead run, out in the States to keep up with an ordinary living He is entitled to all encouragement. and should be pro- tected by the law SD long as he is within the statutes But the minute he ceases to respect rhe liberal laws in this country of freedom. and com mences to make a murderous assault upon an innocent person. who may he an absolute stranger for no other reason than he k accepting employ ment, he should be brought mp with a round turn.

 The slugging and boycott methods of winning fights on the part of unions will have Ia be abolished and should the members of the different labor organizations fail to do away with such drastic methods Of their own free will and accord.

The following editorial taken form
 the Fremont Colleague should prove of
 interest to the people here in the
 North:
 The population of Alaska is small
 indeed. but while the inhabitants are few and far between. the writer can didly believes that there are more poli-
 ticians to the square yard than in many ter spending several years in that Northland. the writer is firmly con- vinced that the fellows up there can give the politicians of the States,
 cards and spades and then beat them
 to it. From the very first. the men who went North. ostensibly to dig gold, but menced to raise very old SheoI. and have kept it up constantly ever since To the ordinary observer. there would appear to be nothing serious to quar- rel about. but the Alaska politician is like the Iiirshman with his tank filled with "potheen" at Donnybrook fair-whenever he sees a head. he
 whales away at it. The Alaska poli-
 tician is also a persistent cuss. When
 he wants to land a coveted job. he keeps pounding away-and never fails
 to carry his little hammer with him
 If he was never "knocker" before, when he reaches the soil of Alaska. he becomes a past mas ster at that kind of a job. The Alaska politician has made life burden to the President. Con gress and the United States Senate for the past ten years, ,nd there is every reason to t.''ieve that the s-ine sort of tactics will he pursued in the fu- ture.

AFTER LUMBER TRUST.

It is contended by those who see nothing good in the proceedings taken by the government to recover the rail road land grants in oregon and Cali fornia from the Southern Pacific Com pany that these lands being timbered.
 are not available for settlement in tracts of l6O acres It Is the same sort of plea that we so constantly hear from
 the identical sources in favor of the wholesale alienation of the Alaska coal measures In the Portland Oregonan
 We find local testimony on the subject: There is a decided difference of opin- | ion in regard to the value of the land for purposes of settlement in the fed
 eral grant still held by the Southern | Pacific in Oregon. According to one estimate that of Attorney Fenton, for
 the railroad company. the major DOT l tion of this land is not suitable for homes. on the other hand the attor- ney for the government contends that much of the laid is arable Neither opinion in this case can be said to be unbiased, but there is some logic in the contention that since the even numbered sections of land which have been entered and occupied under the homestead law are supporting settlers, there is no reason to suppose that the odd numbered sections. which are in controversy. would not be similarly useful if settlers were allowed to oc- cupy them.
 The question raised by the railroad company defending the suit was ,vT,.ther Cvnsress had the right to wary the terms of the original grant by Subsequent legislation. The lands in controversy. now worth 75.OOO O0O were granted in 1866. and two years later the railroad company asked Con- gress for an additional 2O.OO0 acres This was granted. but Congress added the condition as to all the lands now in controversy. that they should be sold in l6o acre artcs tn bona fldr settlers at g. 50 an acre.
 These conditions have been admit tedly violated by the Southern Pacific Company. which contends that they do not apply to the land held under the original grant Judge Wilverton of the oregon fedrsl court holds that this contention k not valid and that
 the granted lands must be restored to the public domain
 The suit instituted by the govern
 ment k part uf a much wider project that aims to break up the lumber trust which has been SD busy acquiring vast bodies of timber land in all the forest regions IL Is the same combination that put Lorimer over" and made mp the now justly celebrated Illinois jackpot" The Southern Pacific Com pany is the largest holder of timber lands in the United States and the Weyerhaeuser intersts come next
 Apart form administrative action to break up the trust. the most important effect likely to follow from the creation of a virtual monopoly of timber lands is that Congress will put lumber on the free list.

 The plan is ingenious. but We imag inc that evidence secured in such fashion would meet with slow accept ance by a court of law. and if the pre- liminary legal objections were over come. it seems likely that a jury would not attach much weight to it
 Evidence against crook obtained by crooked means and devious ways must always contend against the sense that it is not borught into court with clean hands. This may be unfortunate. but it is true.

CURIOUS ACCIDENT
TRAIN COACHES RAN ON THREE
TRACKS-NO ONE HURT

Train No. 3, which left jamestown
Sunday late, with two engines, had q
close call from a more serious acci-
dent at Mckenzie. The train reach
ed that town about 2 o'clock p. M,
being late on account of the storm
in Minnesota. The two engines and
mail car, and front trucks of the
baggage car, passed over the switch
safely. Owing to some obstruction,
not snow, the switch was not en-
tirely closed, and the rails spread
causing the rear trucks of the bag
gage car to jump to the first side
track. This carried several coaches
along with 1T and further along
three of the coaches jumped onto
second siding, making three dif1er-
ent tracks on which the train ran.
The rear sleeper still kept to the
main track, and the train ran nearly
half a mile, when coupling pins ana
chains that held the train together.
broke, and the air hose also broke
which set the brakes, bringing the
train to a stop. This was the flrst
sign of trouble known to the engin-
GERS. The passengers were pretty
badly shaken up but no one was IN
iured. All passengers were taken
to Bismarck ard conti' ued thei" trip
on a latter train. The Pullman car
wheels cut through the ties in the
middle of the rails on two tracks.
It was a remarkable accident IN
many ways, considering the distance
and the different tracks on whicn
the train ran after being derailed.
The cars are on the track at NC
Kenzie, and partly buried In snow.
AS there was another free side track
no great delay was caused In the pas
sage of other trains.
The switch had been cleared OF
STOW, and the report that snow was
the cause of the accident is not cor
rect A piece OF iron or some hard
substance had been dropped from an
east bound train, and had fallen in
between the point Of the switch rail
and the main rail which opened the
switch little. The passenger coach
es were pulled back on the rails and
little damage was reported from the
wreck. The train stopped shortly
after the coaches struck the second
side track, but the entire train ran
about 1000 feet on two tracks be-
fore coming to stop.

fortune to be thrown from the city
hose wagon and in the .all to have

and catch the reins an dstop the
team. The wheel of the wagon
struck a large stone at the corner
near Second street and Sixth avenue

SO that Devolve was thrown from
his seat. He was taken to the City
Hospital and the fractured limb set
by DR.. Gerrish. Mrs. Devolve was
not aware OF the accident to her
husband until notified Wednesday

count Of his misfortune which will
lay him up for some time.

GOES TO VANCOUVER, b. C.

Father Augustine Mcdonald leaves
Darlington the first of December for
Vancouver, British Columbia, where
he has been assigned to one of the
best parishes.
Catholics and non-Catholics in Car
iIgton and this section will be panied
to hear of the good Fathers resig-
nation here. In the fourteen years
he has been at the head of Sacred
Heart church, he has come to be
looked upon almost as fixture in
this community. His departure will
cause universal regret.
Father Mcdonald has just return
ed from several weeks tour of the
west and was much pleased with the
climate. He was urgently asked by
Bishop Mcneil of Vancouver, to come
to that city and enter upon some i'm
portant duties. The temptation to
60 to more moderate climate finally
won the Father to an acceptance OF
the western post. Hoping that he
might return, the bishop will hold
the local parish for Father McDon-
aid for one year. The pulpit will
be supplied in the meantime and
services continue as usual.-Carring-
ton Record.
