EXPERTS OPINION OF
AMERICAN ROADS

w. NJ. Acworth, recognized
as the highest authority on
railways in Great Britain and
an author of several standard
works On railroads of Great
Britain and America, testified
before the Railroad Securities
Commission in New York re-
Gently that after a two months
study of American RAILWAYS.
1T has been my opinion that in
actual economy of operation the
railways of the United States
are first in the world. In the
number of tons per car; cars per
train; in the fullest utilization
of locomotives; in the obtaining
OF the greatest measure ofresuit
for each unit of expenditure,
they are not equaled by the
railways of any other nation. >"

VIRGINIA
Will Continue to Have Ten
Representatives in
Congress-.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 10
Virginia will continue to have
ten congressman under the
provisions of the apportionment
bill which passed the house
today. The Campbell bill re-
tanning the present number and
members in the house of repre-
sentatives would have reduced
Virginia's representation by
one member, Tennessee's by
one, and North Carolina by one,
while retaining the present
number in West Virginia.
The Crumpacker bill, which
was finally passed, retains the
present membership in each of
these States, except West Vir.
ginia, and increases its repre-
sentation by one.
Congressman Austin, of Ten
nessee, made an appeal in be-
half of Congressman Slemp,
saying that MIR. Slemp aud his
father had worked for years to
make their district Republican
and that he should not now be
thrown out of the house. lie
asserted that the Republicans
would have to make their gains
In the border States in the
future If they were to gain at
all and that to cut down the
representation of these border
States in Congress and in the

HURD farmer
ENDS own LIFE

Minot. N. D., Feb. 13.-Louis Tar
vestad, aged about IS years, committed
suicide at the Waverly hotel. Tar
yestad occupied room % at the Wa
verify; the door was securely locked
all day, and it was not until O'Clock
! in the evening that the suspicious OF
the hotel employees were aroused and
an entrance forced to the room. Tar
| vestad was dead and there was
strong odor of chlorOform In the room.
Coroner Taylor and County Physician
Stone were summoned at once. The
man had been dead probably twenty
four hours. The body was removed
to the undertaking parlors of Charles
Weagant and a post mortem examln-
alton was made which disclosed con-
clusively the fact that death had been
caused from a large dose of chloro-
form.
That the suicide was deliberate Is
evidenced from the fact that Tarve-
stad had darkened the windows, locked
the door and had fastened the tran
som over the door by driving his knife
into the casing at the base OF the
trans0m.
The maid at the hotel had talked
with Travestad in the evening and he
seemed cheerful. Allen ODell and
others who knew him had seen him
the night before, and the man seemed
to be in the best of spirits.
Tarvestad had been in Minot some
little time. He has been buying hay
in the western part of the state and
shipping it to market. He owns
fine farm near Hurd, in this state,
where his wife and three children re-
side. He was in good financial cir
cumstances, in addition to a little
ready money he owned the property
at Hurd and he carried a life insur-
ance policy for $4,000.

NARROW ESCAPE
| FROM TIE STORM

McClusky, N. D., Feb. $40. J. Lee
and Charles Bowles had very mar
row escape from freezing to death in
a storm. They left here at in the
afternoon for Mr.. Lees homestead,
thirteen miles southwest. They were
within a mile and a half of their des-
tiIslion, Just at the home of John
2enner, when the storm OvertooA
them. They thought that it would
be an easy matter to make the rest
OF the distance, but after wandering
around for an hour or more the team
brought them back to the Rennec
place. They would not give up at
this, however, but hit the trail once
more and were successful in getting
to the home of the nearest neighbor,
only one mile from the Lee home
stead. After leaving this place they
became confused, drove the team until
it was played out, after which they
unhitched and started out on horse
back. When just abount to give up
they landed at the home of Steve
BAHAMA, who lives nine miles south
west of Lees. Mr.. BAHAMA took the
almost frozen men in and made them
comfortable. They reached home the
next afternoon. Mr.. Lees face was
pretty badly frosted, but Mr.. Bowles
was not near so fortunate, as his
hands and feet were frozen and his
face is sight to behold. The sled
was found two miles west of Lees
after the storm subsidized.
